Wang Dong'er had just sent a message in the group chat when new content appeared in the diary. She hurriedly started reading.
[Wang Dong'er had it pretty rough, but no matter what, her memories were only sealed, and her life was already laid out for her. But Miss Imperial Beast was the one who had it truly bad! She was clearly protected by a bunch of Ferocious Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, with every beast treating her like a treasure. She was practically the little tyrant of Star Dou.]
[Then shameless Tang San set his sights on Miss Imperial Beast. He deliberately interfered with Huo Gua and the Auspicious Beast's interactions, making the Auspicious Beast curious about the human world. Then he guided Miss Auspicious Beast into taking human form, carrying Tang Wutong's divine consciousness and the Golden Dragon Spear as Wang Qiu'er into the human world.]
[Poor Miss Auspicious Beast walked right into Tang San's trap. In the end, she sacrificed herself for Huo Gua, and Tang San completed his plunder of her luck.]
[Speaking of which, Huo Gua was ridiculous. First he fell in love with Wang Dong'er, then he fell for Wang Qiu'er, who had Wang Dong'er's face. In the end, Dong'er and Qiu'er became one as Tang Wutong, and he fell in love with Tang Wutong too.]
[Disgusting! I find it disgusting too!]
[Wait, no! Huo Gua fell in love with Wang Dong'er, Wang Qiu'er, and Tang Wutong—same face, different souls... So was Huo Gua actually just a pretty-face enthusiast? Whoever had that face, he fell for?]
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who had been about to ask the Scarlet King to take her back to the Lake of Life, suddenly froze. An incredulous look rose in her heart.
I, the dignified Imperial Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, sacrificed myself for a human?
What a joke!
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion sprang up like a cat with its fur standing on end and leaped onto a nearby tree branch, drawing the Scarlet King's puzzled gaze.
What was the Auspicious Beast up to now?
The Scarlet King looked at the Auspicious Beast suspiciously. She had only just eaten. Surely she couldn't be hungry again already?
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion forced herself to calm down, realizing how serious the situation was.
In the future, under the influence of a god, she would get involved with a human named Huo Gua and ultimately sacrifice herself. Then she would become part of Tang Wutong alongside the human named Wang Dong'er.
That sort of thing... No way!
She had to stop it from happening!
My Lord! Come save me!!!
Although Wang Dong'er had gradually regained her composure, the diary's next entry still shattered it.
Putting everything else aside, I, Wang Dong'er, would actually fall for a man like that?
A fickle man like him deserves my favor!?
No! Absolutely not!
I, Wang Dong'er, would rather die than have anything to do with that Huo Gua... Someone like him only makes me sick!
Wang Dong'er took a deep breath and silently made up her mind.
Since Tang San wanted her to disguise herself as a boy and enter Shrek Academy, where Huo Gua would share a room with her and fall for her over time, she would do no such thing!
I'll enter Shrek Academy dressed as a boy... but I absolutely will not share a dorm room with Huo Gua!
Absolutely. Not. Happening!
But that alone might not be enough... If Tang San discovered that she was acting against his wishes, she had no idea what might happen.
It seemed all her hopes rested on this mysterious copy of the diary and the person named Ao Yao.
She hadn't forgotten the group rules that had appeared after she joined this strange chat group.
As long as Ao Yao kept mentioning her in the diary and she continued earning rewards, one day she would be able to stand against Tang San and take control of her own fate!
After all, those rewards were exceptionally generous. They even included a divine position.
She was Wang Dong'er... not some puppet on a string, and certainly not Tang San's daughter, Tang Wutong!
Wang Dong'er slowly let out a breath. In other words, her most important task right now was to find Ao Yao and make sure she appeared in the diary as often as possible...
Until she found Ao Yao...
Another group rule stated that whoever was the most active person in the chat group each day would receive the title of Water Spraying Dragon King. She didn't know what the title meant, but the Water Spraying Dragon King could choose the general subject of the next day's diary.
That was enough!
At that thought, Wang Dong'er took out her jade token and started typing.
[Deep Clouds Unknown: Tang San is a despicable villain! A shameless scoundrel!]
[Deep Clouds Unknown: And that Huo Gua is a revolting playboy! Disgusting! He makes me sick!]
[Grass (a kind of plant): Ancestor Tang San created the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy's thousand-year glory. He must have had his reasons for doing this... You can't slander Ancestor Tang San like that!]
[Deep Clouds Unknown: Heh.]
[Deep Clouds Unknown: Tang San, you piece of trash! Go die, Tang San!]
Wang Dong'er hurled insults at Tang San in the group chat, and her words drew some support. The others didn't go so far as to curse Tang San as viciously as Wang Dong'er did, but most of them expressed their opinions in more tactful terms.
This infuriated Tang Ya.
In her heart, Tang San, the Tang Sect's ancestor, was unquestionably a noble and upright hero.
This sort of thing... had to be a rumor!
Did you people have no idea how important it was not to believe or spread rumors?!
Tang Ya fumed in silence for a while, then her eyes suddenly lit up.
That's right!
That hateful Ao Yao must have been the one spreading these lies!
Once she found Ao Yao, she would teach him a proper lesson and make him understand that Ancestor Tang San must never be slandered like this!
The moment the thought crossed her mind, Tang Ya's pupils contracted.
An inexplicable pressure struck her. Before she could react, an invisible whip lashed across her back, leaving a bloody welt on her fair skin. Tang Ya's aura instantly weakened.
A prompt only Tang Ya could hear rang out: "We have detected that you intend to harm the diary's host. This is your first warning."
Even teaching him a lesson wasn't allowed?
Tang Ya's eyes widened, and a wounded look appeared on her face.
The next instant, another invisible whip struck Tang Ya's arm.
There was no way to dodge this kind of whip, and the pain was more than she could bear!
"I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Tang Ya immediately backed down and hurriedly apologized in a low voice.
The pressure on her receded like the tide, and Tang Ya breathed a sigh of relief.
But right after that, Tang Ya pulled a long face, her expression stricken. "I was so close to reaching level thirty after a little more cultivation. Then I could have asked Bei Bei to help me hunt for my third Soul Ring."
"Those two lashes will probably delay my breakthrough for a while. If I can't break through... does that mean I won't be able to advance to the next grade?"
"I don't want to be held back a grade... Nooo!"
