By now, Duoduo and Zuo Qiu's conversation had more or less wound down. It was also about time to go find her. As long as they weren't in the same class and their homeroom teacher wasn't Zhou Ji, any other class would do.
Even being in the same class as Dai Huabin would be fine.
Speaking of which, Huo Yuhao seemed to be waiting for some declaration about how, after the White Tiger Duke died, he would inherit the title... I wonder how Dai Huabin, the god of revenge who saw himself as having changed his surname to Huo, would react.
That one sentence left Ying Jiujiu utterly stunned.
As a child of the royal family of the Star Luo Empire, Ying Jiujiu was naturally well aware of the complicated history between them and the White Tiger Duke's family.
His family was not originally part of the Star Luo Empire's imperial household, but merely a reclusive clan within its borders—the Starcrown Sect. According to legend, the Dai family of the White Tiger Duke had once been the Star Luo Empire's imperial family, and they had even produced a god.
Unfortunately, after the Sea God Ying San's eldest disciple, Dai Mubai, ascended to godhood, the Dai family's White Tiger line gradually declined. Over the generations, their population dwindled, talents grew scarce, and their strength steadily weakened. Then the Douluo Continent collided with the Sun Moon Continent, and the Sun Moon Empire launched an invasion. Had the Starcrown Sect not used the power of the Starcrown Martial Soul's starlight to lead the people in resisting the foreign enemy and pacifying the chaos, the Star Luo Empire might have become a different nation altogether, just like the Heavenly Soul Empire of old.
Afterward, the White Tiger line recognized that it could no longer bear the burden of the throne. To preserve the family within the empire, it voluntarily ceded the throne to Ying Jiujiu's family. Her family, having earned great merit in saving the nation, was supported by the people and became the new imperial family.
Out of consideration for Dai Mubai, the White Tiger Duke's ancestor who had become a god, as well as the Dai family's remaining prestige, her family did not eliminate them completely. Instead, they made the Dai family hereditary White Tiger Dukes, preserving their status as nobles who assisted the imperial family.
After so many years, her family had long since grown accustomed to the treatment of royalty and become tired of sitting high upon the throne.
They had never even considered handing the throne back to the White Tiger line, which had risen again under their support.
And now you were telling me that Mo Yu, who had yet to become the God of Emotions, was a member of the Dai family and might even change his surname to Dai?
As for Xiao Ge's latter half of the sentence, Ying Jiujiu subconsciously ignored it.
In her view, since Huo Yuhao had not insisted on changing his surname to Huo, it meant he had already set aside the hatred in his heart. It was even possible that the so-called hatred was merely a misunderstanding.
Once Huo Yuhao rose to prominence and became the God of Emotions, would he really force her family to return the throne to the White Tiger line?
By then, would the White Tiger line truly leave her family even a shred of room to survive?
Ying Jiujiu could not help taking a deep breath, her expression turning dark and uncertain.
Speaking of which, Dai Hao really was scum. He had an affair with Mo Yu's mother, Huo Yun'er, then forgot all about her after having Mo Yu. Mo Yu's miserable childhood and the abuse he suffered from his stepmother during his youth—it was understandable that he came to hate Dai Hao.
It was just a pity that, in the end, Mo Yu still failed to fulfill that oath. Dai Hao even ascended to the God Realm, and in the end, Mo Yu changed his surname to Dai.
Ying San was quite clever. He managed to tame Mo Yu completely. Back when Huo Yun'er died, he had already set things up. Afterward, he handed Huo Yun'er's remains over to Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing to care for, waiting for Huo Yuhao to become a god before carrying out the final taming.
To be able to do that, it was no wonder Mo Yu ended up like that. One trap after another—without the heavens watching over him, even I probably wouldn't have been able to resist.
Xiao Ge rubbed his hands together, rose to his feet, and headed toward the dormitory.
Though she appeared to be resting on the bed, Wang Dongliu, who had been secretly watching Xiao Ge from the corner of her eye, felt a jolt in her heart and hurriedly sat up as well.
"Where are you going?"
Xiao Ge, who had already reached the doorway, looked back at her strangely.
Didn't you say I could come find you whenever I wanted to chat?
Seeing that Xiao Ge had misunderstood, Wang Dongliu quickly came up with an excuse. "Today is my first day meeting my dormmate. We might end up sitting in the same dormitory talking for a long time. Would you like to come eat with us?"
Wang Dongliu wanted to take the initiative to invite me to a meal?
Xiao Ge, who had just thought Wang Dongliu had become a little more normal, immediately felt that something was off again.
Tsk...
Anyone connected to Ying San was troublesome.
"Sure. But I'm also going to find a few friends. You don't mind, do you?"
"Of course."
Wang Dongliu quietly let out a sigh of relief.
She naturally knew who the two friends Xiao Ge was referring to were. They were none other than the Duoduo and Zuo Qiu whom Xiao Ge had mentioned earlier. She did not care about that.
She only cared whether she could stay by Xiao Ge's side. Only then could she ensure that she would continue appearing in the journal.
The two left the dormitory one after the other. Just as they went downstairs, Xiao Ge's gaze narrowed slightly.
In that brief moment, the person seated in the rattan chair by the dormitory entrance had changed.
The person in the chair was no longer the fat man covered in grease, stuffing himself with chicken legs. He had become an ordinary-looking old man with a wrinkled face, murky eyes, drooping eyelids, and a hunched back. At a glance, he looked like an old beggar in his twilight years.
Yet Xiao Ge knew that this old man, who looked like he might collapse at any moment, was the master of the Sea God Pavilion and one of the Shrek Academy's three great powerhouses, Dragon God Douluo Mu En.
A god of vengeance and a fatty—those two really were interesting. Using their precious dorm supervisor to keep watch on them all day...
Xiao Ge's gaze quickly shifted to Mu En and settled on the inconspicuous figure.
Ying Bei had successfully entered Shrek Academy, even though Ying San had taken the third soul ring, but Xiao Ge did not know who Mo Yu's dormmate would be now that he had lost Wang Dongliu.
Xiao Ge could not help glancing back at Wang Dongliu.
To be honest, I really don't understand why Wang Dongliu became my dormmate.
Going by the normal course of events, when I arrived, I should have run into Mo Yu and Wang Dongliu fighting over the dormitory. In the end, Wang Dongliu would lose to Mo Yu due to carelessness. Then Mo Yu would begin his journey of winning over the proud Wang Dongliu.
Honestly, that would have been pretty interesting.
No matter what, Wang Dongliu had twin martial souls, one of which surpassed even the best soul beasts, and her other martial soul was the top-tier Radiant Goddess Butterfly. Even if she was careless, she shouldn't have been beaten by Mo Yu, right?
Noticing Xiao Ge's gaze, Wang Dongliu also spotted the figure who had already entered the freshmen dormitory. Her hand could not help tightening.
That person was Mo Yu?
Because of what was written in the journal, Wang Dongliu had no favorable impression of Mo Yu. She was even full of disdain.
Seeing Mo Yu leave, Wang Dongliu immediately called out to Xiao Ge and followed him.
