Lin... was filled with shock. His mental energy surged as he stared at each character that appeared on the black diary page. Each one seemed to send ripples across a still lake.
Xiao Wu, meanwhile, stood behind the curtain, hidden in the darkness.
She was frozen in place, staring blankly ahead.
"W-what... could this be me?"
[The so-called Three-Views Commentary Valley is actually Tang San's diary. Naturally, he wouldn't be the only one with a diary.]
[That person was once rather arrogant, but even the haughty Xiao Wu became Tang San's most loyal vanguard in her later years.]
[On Tang San's orders, Xiao Wu pretended to be the so-called Saintess and went to the valley to torment all kinds of people with serious psychological issues. She really did torment them, but can you imagine it?]
[Under the will of that god-king, she was required to humiliate Bibi Dong and Xu Sanshi with her tongue. Ugh, disgusting. That's a man's tongue!]
Someone: "???"
The thousand-year-old female immortal who was writing her diary suddenly felt her stomach churn.
Whether it was a woman or a man, it didn't matter.
But a man's tongue...
"Ugh... ugh..."
"Ugh! I just can't understand what Tang San was thinking. That's so disgusting! Do the so-called gods all enjoy playing around with other people's dignity?!"
[What's more, Tang San even took advantage of Bibi Dong's guilt toward Yu Xiaogang to play around with her in various ways, all in the name of helping her recover her spiritual strength.]
[Oh, and there's another explosive bit of gossip. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with Tang San. We'll talk about it when we get to Tang San's later diary entries.]
Someone fell silent.
Just how many secrets were hidden in the Three-Views Commentary Valley?
The more he heard, the more he wanted to know.
What could it possibly be?
Something even more explosive than Bibi Dong and Xu Sanshi's affair?!
[Xiao Wu, back when you were sitting on the divine throne and watching people experience all those tragic events, was your conscience really eaten by a dog, or had you already become completely heartless?]
[Toying with people's feelings and treating them as playthings. You're a god, and yet you're no better than a demon who delights in making people suffer!]
[I can't help but wonder...]
[Anyone who went to Shrek Academy ended up assimilated. Why didn't the carefree and easygoing soul master escape that fate? If you really run into trouble, just leave, you idiot!]
"..."
"No... it wasn't me! It wasn't me!"
In the darkness, Xiao Wu let out a piercing scream.
She cowered in the corner, shaking uncontrollably.
She couldn't accept it!
She had always considered herself noble and pure, but toying with people and forcing them to humiliate themselves like that...
It had completely shattered the foundation of her humanity.
"How could I... how could I have become such a heartless monster..."
Xiao Wu clutched her head and wailed in despair.
A powerful sense of self-loathing rose within her.
She suddenly realized how merciful Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang had been to her before.
"So Bibi Dong really did have reason to hate me..."
Because if she had truly followed Tang San, she would have become a woman even she herself would despise.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were seated in the carriage.
Sitting in front of Xiao Wu, the two of them heard her heartrending cries.
"..."
The two fell silent.
Ning Rongrong had originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask Zhu Zhuqing about the diary's author.
But now...
She changed her mind.
Xiao Wu really had...
Zhu Zhuqing sighed. She had long known that Xiao Wu had something of a young miss's temperament.
But she could never have imagined that Xiao Wu would do something like that.
Unless...
She'd been assimilated by Tang San and the others!
She looked at the diary's description of the temple's soul beasts. The icy look in her eyes turned into murderous intent.
"Shrek Academy... Tang San..."
Zhu Zhuqing spoke the names coldly, feeling a surge of fury rise within her.
That place had buried her future.
It was a poison pit that turned normal people into lunatics!
"..."
Meanwhile, deep in the mountain cave behind Spirit City, Ah Rou's originally scattered and dim soul had suddenly begun to tremble violently.
"This isn't my child... my little Wu wouldn't..."
Ah Rou's soul murmured.
If all she had done was make her feel disappointed, then Tang San's selfish, shameless, and vicious behavior in the diary had completely destroyed the image she had of him.
It had also shattered the last traces of affection she still had for her child.
Slowly, in the golden grass, a wisp of black soul power emerged like ink spreading across water.
What a bastard!
She had been corrupted!
It was the life force of Ah Rou, attacked by a tremendous spiritual force, that had begun to decay and turn black.
If Tang San were standing there...
Ah Rou even felt the urge to pierce his heart with a blade.
In the Imperial Palace of Heaven Dou City.
"Bibi Dong!"
Bibi Dong's gaze was cold enough to freeze the entire palace. She leaned back, icy and aloof like an empress.
Below her, Yue Guan and Gui Mei knelt in the middle of the hall. Both were battered and bloodied, with blood still trickling from the corners of their mouths.
They had sustained severe injuries fighting Tang Hao.
"Your Eminences sealed the city and searched everywhere, yet you couldn't capture Tang Hao, who was already gravely wounded? You even let Tang San escape?"
"After ten years, you still haven't brought him back?!"
"What use are you two?!"
Bibi Dong's voice reverberated through the depths of the hall.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei looked pale.
"Your Holiness... Tang Hao charged straight into the Heaven Dou Empire's army and fought his way through. His methods were like those of a rabid dog. We really couldn't—"
Yue Guan hurriedly tried to explain.
"Enough!"
Bibi Dong suddenly rose to her feet. Her gaze swept across the hall and settled on the direction of the Star Luo Empire.
The latest entries in the diary had brought a wave of emotion to her heart.
The hand that had gripped the armrest trembled slightly. Compared with the Empress of the Empire, who had wanted to destroy the entire continent, she seemed almost a little more...
"Tang San... you really are the greatest scourge in this world."
Bibi Dong issued her orders coldly.
"Yue Guan, Gui Mei, you two recover quickly. Find a chance to kill Tang San again. And if it isn't Tang San, then kill anyone from Shrek Academy you can find. I want them all dead!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged awkward glances.
That Shrek Academy... what had it done to anger Bibi Dong so badly?
Was it just because of Yu Xiaogang?
Wasn't that a little too extreme?
"..."
Meanwhile, in the midst of the contest between ice and fire, Bibi Dong had finished writing in her diary.
Her spiritual power had already become solid.
"Hahaha, Lin... you lost this time!"
Dugu Bo laughed loudly.
"Damn it, you hateful old poison. I like you, but your poison has almost completely neutralized mine."
"Where's your granddaughter? I think I sent her to the Star Luo City a while ago, too."
Lin... grimaced and looked around. Dugu Yan had arrived as well. Dugu Bo simply replied that he had sent the two of them to Star Luo City together.
