No matter how Dai Mubai reacted when he learned about this, at least Huoyao was delighted to know Zhu Zhuqing was a reincarnator.
Besides, her joy was plain to see. Zhu Zhuqing could clearly tell that Huoyao was happy, and that made her even more certain that she really had been reincarnated. The things she remembered from her past life were all real.
So when she went to Shrek Academy, she wouldn't need to make a big show of what she could do. Zhu Zhuqing could simply bring Bibi Dong and Duoxu along to meet her. That would be enough to earn her friends' trust.
Huoyao had a reason to go to Shrek Academy besides Zhu Zhuqing.
She intended to gather the three beauties of Shrek Academy together!
If she played her cards right, she could also win over the other girls at the same time, and they might even come to her of their own accord. That way, she wouldn't have to make the first move.
That would give her every reason to bring them back to the Pope Palace. They were the ones insisting on staying by her side. She had clearly turned them down, but there was nothing she could do about it.
The plan was simple: Brother, don't move. Your little sister will do it all.
So, in the end, this really was the plan she'd had in mind all along!
In a good mood, Huoyao spun Zhu Zhuqing around in her arms, her dress fluttering like a rose in bloom. At the same time, her thoughts drifted to the future.
It worked.
After learning that Dai Mubai was a reincarnator, Zhu Zhuqing had already let go of her resentment toward him. Even without memories of her past life, she could still feel my sincerity.
I didn't expect her to be this sentimental.
I'm the only one who was reincarnated into this life. Neither Zhuqing nor Qian'erbei and Gu Yueye know what happened between us.
Even people like the old Axe, Aunt Axe, Ning Fengzhi, Ice Emperor, Water Ice Emperor, Water Moon Emperor, the Lonely Goose, Huoyao... all those people who had fought alongside me in my past life and had become friends with Han San and the God Realm—now they've all forgotten me.
Even if they remember me, I'm just a stranger to them. But I have memories of the past, so I can't treat them like strangers. And many of them need my help.
Still, being reincarnated is a blessing. It gives me a chance to change my fate, save them, and alter the course of the Douluo Continent.
But it's also a lonely burden. I'm the only one who knows the truth. I can't tell anyone, so I can only endure it in silence.
Trying to rebuild the same relationship with her that we had in our past life is truly a long and difficult road. One careless move could make things between us turn out completely differently.
Enough. There's no use dwelling on it. The most important thing right now is to get Han San's help. Then I can grow stronger faster.
Even if they've all forgotten me, I won't let them die in this life. I'll save them all.
Zhu Zhuqing held the rose in her hand, her eyes fixed on the diary in her arms. Even through the pages, she could sense Huoyao's loneliness.
She could bear the pain of twisting her ankle, but seeing Huoyao smile at her so brightly while looking so lonely still made her heart ache.
To keep her diary's existence from being exposed, Zhu Zhuqing forced herself to calm down. She stopped looking at Huoyao, but she still couldn't help feeling a pang of sadness.
That was right. Huoyao was the only one who remembered. Neither I nor the people mentioned in the diary had memories of our past lives. We had no idea how much she had endured.
Even so, Huoyao was still working hard in a place no one could see, trying to save everyone.
Dai Mubai was a good-for-nothing in front of Huoyao. They were as different as fire and moonlight, and there was no comparison.
Fortunately, Zhu Zhuqing had the diary. Even without memories of her past life, she could still sense Huoyao's feelings and what she had done for her.
Zhu Zhuqing swore to herself that, no matter what it cost, she would help Huoyao defeat Han San, break through the divine realm's constraints, and change the tragic fate of the Douluo Continent!
She had made up her mind. Once she reached Shrek Academy, she would find a way to convince Duoxu and Bibi Dong to help her. She would never again support Han San as she had in her past life.
Huoyao's diary had affected more than just Zhu Zhuqing.
At the Spirit Hall, the Pope Palace.
Bibi Dong sat beside Huohuo. Both of them silently read the diary in their hands. For a long time, neither moved.
After a while, Huohuo was the first to break the silence.
"Old Axe, it seems Huoyao's strength exceeds even what we imagined."
Bibi Dong had no answer, but she was just as astonished by Huohuo's words.
In her past life, Huoyao had looked on helplessly as her loved ones died. Even with the chance to be reborn, no one could understand her. Only she alone had memories of the Douluo Continent.
That loneliness was something ordinary people could never bear.
Although Huoyao had warned Yu Xiaogang in her diary not to read it, after reading the entries, Bibi Dong couldn't help feeling pity for her.
After all, no matter how much Huoyao had done, it had been for herself. She didn't want to end up like Han San had in her past life. Even so, Bibi Dong couldn't bring herself to deny Huoyao's kindness.
Bibi Dong sighed softly, then turned to Huohuo.
"If you get the chance, you can speak with Huoyao and ask whether she'd be willing to join the Spirit Hall."
Huohuo's eyes suddenly lit up. She nodded eagerly.
"Old Axe, are you planning to take her in as your younger sister?"
Bibi Dong deliberately raised an eyebrow and said coolly,
"Of course not! She came to the Spirit Hall to put an end to it. I'm certainly not going to take her in as my little sister!"
She said it with a smile, but there was still a hint of displeasure in her eyes.
Huoyao kept calling herself her elder sister, and acted as though she and Bibi Dong had truly been close in their past lives. Yet she had gone and put an end to the Spirit Hall because she wanted to save Zhu Zhuqing in advance.
That was just outrageous!
Huohuo didn't take Bibi Dong's words to heart. She knew her sister was all bark and no bite.
She might claim she'd never consider Huoyao her little sister, but she'd clearly already accepted her. She was only too proud to admit it.
Since that was the case, Huohuo would play along and help her older sister understand the younger girl. Then, when the time was right, she'd find a chance to bring Huoyao to the Spirit Hall.
If all else failed, she could bring that Zhu Zhuqing girl along too.
As Huoyao's older sister, she naturally wouldn't have any objections to the person she loved.
