A ray of morning sunlight shone into the room, and Huo Yuhao welcomed a brand-new day.
The moment he opened his eyes, Huo Yuhao saw Wang Dongliu, who seemed to have cultivated for the entire night.
Had Wang Dongliu really made progress in her cultivation?
His impression of Wang Dongliu had always been that she was a carefree girl who didn't seem to put much effort into cultivating. As a result, even after she entered the Ouyang Family's inner courtyard, she still hadn't reached level twenty. After seeing Mo Yu work so hard at cultivating, and witnessing Di Tian's powerful cultivation, Wang Dongliu had finally been inspired to take her cultivation seriously.
Before Wang Dongliu started school, her behavior had been nothing short of spendthrift.
But now, she had actually sat down to cultivate for an entire night!
Well, she really is quite diligent...
Let me see what's written in today's diary!
Huh? A diary entry about the mistress of the Spirit Pagoda? Which mistress? Could it be the Dragon God's daughter, Gu Yue Na?
When it came to the diary, Xiao Ge had deliberately written down some of Wang Dongliu's reactions. Watching her lean into her cultivation, he put away the guesses in his heart and happily got up.
It looks like today's entry is about Gu Yue Na's past.
What's so good about that? Isn't she just an unlucky person? The God Emperor forced her to serve him, and she placed all of the soul beasts' hopes on her own shoulders.
The God Emperor finally got to wait until Gu Yue Na was in a good mood, planning to have a good talk with her and change the fate of the soul beasts.
As a result, with the "help" of this great co-master of the soul beasts, the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest were nearly wiped out. There were so few left that the Sea God could count them on his fingers.
But honestly, how could you not know you're the Dragon God's daughter? You inherited the Dragon God's power. If you didn't want to take revenge on the Dragon God's behalf, and didn't want to revive the soul beasts, why go and fight Tang Wu with all you've got? You have to know, Tang San only seized the soul beasts' fortunes by force. The soul beasts and he are mortal enemies. If you knew you wouldn't get along with Tang San, then why run off and pick a fight with his son?
And you were sealed away and lost your memories. Tang Wu sent you back to the Divine Realm, and you didn't even know who Tang Wu was. I can understand that you might have felt drawn to him.
But did you really have to follow Tang Wu back to the Divine Realm?
You risked everything to seize the Great Forest's soul beasts' fortune and the human world's share of it... Wasn't that basically a death wish? Though, now that I think about it, it wasn't a bad thing. After all, the Dragon God was also a death wish. If the Dragon God hadn't died because of his children, there probably wouldn't have been so many of those pesky little creatures afterward.
I'm really curious what Gu Yue Na's expression was like when she saw Xiao Wu... Damn, that scene was too beautiful. I can't even imagine it! The mighty Dragon King, co-master of the soul beasts, actually had to take orders from a rabbit who'd been alive for only a few hundred years...
Even if she didn't have to take orders, Xiao Wu was still Gu Yue Na's mother-in-law, and she was still a senior. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Gu Yue Na could actually accept that? That's truly admirable!
Still, I think Gu Yue Na's rebirth as the Dragon God's daughter is pretty interesting. It gives this story a lot more potential.
Boom!
A terrifying surge of energy erupted from the bottom of the Lake of Life, but quickly faded away. Beneath the lake, Gu Yue Na had finally calmed down after an intense outburst, and managed to hold back the urge to tear Xiao Ge apart.
Even so, Gu Yue Na's beautiful face was still filled with anger.
Or perhaps, beneath that anger, a trace of fear had begun to stir in her heart.
She was furious that Xiao Ge had written about her past in his diary. She was furious that the version of herself in the diary had done something so foolish and outrageous. And she feared that the future might really end in the tragic destruction of the soul beasts.
The soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest had nearly gone extinct, leaving only the sea soul beasts to survive.
In my own era?
What a joke!
My name is the Dragon God! I am the one who inherited the Dragon God's wisdom!
Under my rule, the soul beasts' future should only grow brighter and brighter. How could it end like that?
Beside her, the Three-Eyed Golden Monkey obediently finished reading the diary. A trace of admiration also showed in her eyes.
She knew the master was reliable!
As long as I stay by her side, I won't be targeted by Tang San, and nothing dangerous will happen to me... Staying close to you really is the safest option.
At this point, even the Three-Eyed Golden Monkey couldn't help but doubt whether her master was truly reliable. She'd been guarding soul beasts and sending people away for so many years, yet she'd still been caught up in all this trouble.
As expected, relying on her master wasn't enough.
No... Should she find an excuse to leave, then go to the human world and look for Huo Yuhao?
With the diary there, could her safety be guaranteed?
But... Di Tian had said that all the humans were cunning fellows. If Xiao Ge was one of them, wouldn't she be in even greater danger?
The Three-Eyed Golden Monkey thought it over for a while, but still couldn't figure out why.
Her gaze turned toward Gu Yue Na, full of curiosity. "Master..."
She had barely managed to get the words out when Gu Yue Na nearly roared into her ear, "Don't call me that rabbit's mother-in-law! You've got to be kidding me!"
Ugh...
Master, the one I want to ask about isn't that.
The master seemed unusually unsettled. Could she... have been worried about the diary entry too?
"Ruishou, you mustn't become the kind of failure described in the diary, the one whose tail ended up in an enemy's hands!"
A failure?
Weren't you supposed to be the last Dragon God in the Divine Realm, living happily with Tang San's son, Tang Wulin, who had inherited the soul beasts' fate, and Xiao Wu, who needed everyone's care?
The Three-Eyed Golden Monkey couldn't help muttering to herself.
She remembered the rabbit Xiao Ge had mentioned, the one who'd lived for hundreds of years.
Although that rabbit's cultivation wasn't high, her age and cultivation were roughly equal. So she had indeed heard of a rabbit who lived near the Lake of Life, but she'd never seen her.
Just thinking about her master calling that rabbit "mother-in-law" made the Three-Eyed Golden Monkey feel uncomfortable all over.
It felt as if something were crawling on her body.
Gu Yue Na, who hadn't gotten a response from the Three-Eyed Golden Monkey, took a deep breath and said, "The diary predicted the future, and it has already come true. So now that I know what's coming, that future must never happen! This king must lead the soul beasts to prosperity and glory!"
Heh, heh...
The Three-Eyed Golden Monkey hurriedly emptied her little pouch, then forced a smile and nodded.
With such an unreliable master, how could she possibly lead the soul beasts to prosperity and glory? The words she'd just said didn't inspire confidence at all!
