[That guy Dai Huabin wouldn't be careless like Wang Dong'er. He'd already released his white tiger martial soul, and he certainly wouldn't hold back on his soul skills. I figured Huo Yuhao probably wouldn't be able to take it!]
[Dai Huabin was a real freak of nature, too. His personality was so outrageous that he barely seemed like the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao's biological son. His older brother Dai Yueheng and his younger brothers Huo Yuhao and Dai Luoli were all pretty decent. He alone was pure absurdity.]
[Yet he seemed to be the only one of the White Tiger Duke's sons with a fiancée who could perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with a member of the Zhu Family. Here's the kicker: performing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill required highly compatible martial souls and users whose hearts were in tune. Yet this guy actually fell for someone else-Wang Qiu'er, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's human form.]
[Although Dai Huabin finally understood his own feelings in the Qiankun Asking Love Valley, I had to say, this guy was still pretty absurd.]
[Come to think of it, what happened to Dai Huabin afterward? If I remembered right, he went to the Spirit Pagoda once, got a soul spirit, and barely appeared again, didn't he?]
[Seriously, that ending was ridiculous. You, Huo Yuhao, swore to wipe out the Dai Family's White Tiger line. Fine, you ascended to the Divine Realm and changed your surname to Dai-but you even let off the White Tiger Duchess and Dai Huabin, the chief culprits behind your mother Huo Yun'er's death.]
[If the Huo Yuhao of this period could see his future self, he'd drop dead on the spot.]
The fight between the two was so bloody and brutal that Aoyao couldn't bear to watch. All he could do was silently snark to himself.
Just as he'd written in his diary, Dai Huabin wasn't as arrogant as Wang Dong'er. He unleashed a soul skill right from the start, beating Huo Yuhao so badly that he was in utter misery. By now, his nose was swollen and his face was bruised.
Of course, Dai Huabin wasn't trying to kill him. He still exercised a fair amount of restraint in his movements and how far he went.
Even taking ten thousand steps back, that old fellow Mu En was lying right beside them. Huo Yuhao's life was certainly safe, but there was no escaping a good deal of suffering.
Huo Yuhao was beginning to regret it, too-he swore he'd really just let his blood rush to his head earlier. He hadn't thought things through for a moment, and that was why he'd acted so rashly.
It really wasn't that he'd overestimated himself and asked for a beating.
Unfortunately, Brother Sky Dream couldn't intervene, either.
Thanks to Brother Sky Dream's warning, Huo Yuhao had realized that the seemingly decrepit old man lying on the wicker chair nearby was actually a hidden powerhouse. That was precisely why Brother Sky Dream didn't dare expose himself lightly.
"It's all right, Yuhao. Just hang in there a little longer. Once you reach rank twenty, I'll take you to the Extreme North Land to get your second martial soul. When that happens, everyone who's bullied you and everyone who's looked down on you will pay!"
Swallowing the pie in the sky Brother Sky Dream offered him, Huo Yuhao passively endured Dai Huabin's savage beating without a word. In his heart, however, he silently recorded this debt.
Once I get my second martial soul...
Dai Huabin, I'll make you pay!
Today's humiliation... the pain of losing my mother. I'll make you repay this blood debt in blood!
The girls' dormitory.
Zhu Lu, who was lying on her bed, stiffened slightly.
Ever since receiving the diary and joining the group, Zhu Lu had never spoken up. She only silently read its contents. As for approaching Aoyao to make her name appear in the diary more often, she'd never entertained such thoughts.
Dai Huabin was her fiancé. Although their feelings weren't particularly deep yet, Zhu Lu had long since decided in her heart that he was her one and only love.
To Zhu Lu, approaching another boy just to obtain a few rewards was undoubtedly a betrayal of the person she loved.
What Zhu Lu hadn't expected, however, was to find the very thing she least wanted to see in this diary.
In the future, Dai Huabin... fell in love with someone else?
Zhu Lu's pretty face instantly went deathly pale, and a trace of disbelief flashed through her eyes.
That meant Dai Huabin didn't love her as much as she'd imagined. Everything she'd believed before had merely been her own wishful thinking.
Zhu Lu couldn't help pressing a hand to the rising curves of her chest. She could feel a dull ache there.
The Star Dou Great Forest.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion had been curled up in boredom. After reading the diary entry, she sprang straight up with a carp-like kip-up.
Wait, why was this diary talking about me, too?
That guy called Dai Huabin fell in love with me after I took human form?
That simple sentence stirred up unpleasant memories in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's heart again.
The thought that she would wear Tang Wutong's face after taking human form, and would even have to sacrifice herself to Huo Yuhao in the future, made the Three-Eyed Golden Lion shudder.
She instinctively looked back at her lord, who was resting with her eyes closed. A hint of doubt resurfaced deep in her eyes.
My lord really didn't seem very reliable...
Could she really protect me?
[Finally, it was over... Huo Yuhao really had it rough. He got beaten into a pig's head on his first day at school. He'd only been reasonably good-looking to begin with, and now he was a complete eyesore.]
[If Mu En hadn't spoken up to stop it, I felt like Dai Huabin really could've beaten Huo Yuhao so badly he couldn't get out of bed.]
[But... Wang Dong'er really didn't step in to help? Even without Tang San controlling her, she shouldn't have been the sort to stand by and watch, given her personality. Someone was bullying the weak, and Wang Dong'er actually didn't help...]
[Something was wrong! Twelve points of wrong on a ten-point scale!]
Aoyao still hadn't realized that Wang Dong'er could read his diary. All he thought at the moment was that things had gone completely off the rails.
Surely Tang San's ten-thousand-year master plan hadn't gone wrong?
Tang San wasn't LeBlanc, that beautiful idiot. Surely he could work out something this simple?
"Brat, you got lucky today. Next time I catch you trying anything, don't say I didn't warn you!"
Dai Huabin shot Huo Yuhao a vicious glare before turning to leave.
Before leaving, Dai Huabin even spat contemptuously onto the ground beside Huo Yuhao.
Although the spit hadn't landed directly on him, Huo Yuhao still felt deeply humiliated.
If I don't avenge this... I'm not worthy of being a man!
"There's nothing left to watch. Shall we go eat?"
After coldly watching Huo Yuhao's entire beating, Wang Dong'er felt thoroughly satisfied. None of it showed on her face, however. She merely curved her lips into a perfectly measured smile.
"Or would you rather lend a helping hand and take this classmate back to his dorm?"
Wait, why were you stealing my lines?
The normal sequence was for you to help Huo Yuhao defeat Dai Huabin, then take him back to the dorm and treat his injuries!
Did you really think it was appropriate for you to say that now?
