The Golden Hawksbill Turtle's cries stopped abruptly, as if it had been choked.
His eyes widened in terror, and he glanced around as if afraid of being overheard. He lowered his voice, his tone trembling with tears, and cried out, "I... I wouldn't dare doubt Di Tian!"
"That's the Beast God! But... but..."
His eyes flickered, filled with contradiction and fear. "But look at this now! Suddenly someone like you, who knows the truth, appears!"
"I still have to become like this! What if... what if Di Tian just wants to use me to get close to Huo Yuhao to complete some plan of his own or the Silver Dragon King, and then abandon me in the end, or simply..."
He made a throat-slitting gesture, his face deathly pale. "Then wouldn't I have... wouldn't I have sacrificed my 20,000 years of virility for nothing? And... and turned into Shemale! Waaaaah~"
"Xiongfeng~" Gu Yu felt deeply powerless about the use of this word.
Gu Yu suddenly lost interest in Di Tian.
Let Di Tian go have fun.
If I'm discovered, I might as well die.
If Di Tian, who came up with this idea, were to be discovered by God King Tang during the fusion process...
Even tearing him to pieces wouldn't be an exaggeration.
He looked at the " Wang Qiu'er " in front of him, who was crying and had completely lost her image as a peerless beauty, and his mind raced.
I don't know how Di Tian came up with such a vicious idea.
Is this guy really Reborn One?!
At this moment, Gu Yu became increasingly suspicious that Di Tian was no longer the same Di Tian as before.
Otherwise, he couldn't be that smart.
He must have experienced despair at the Lord, then been reborn and decided to take matters into his own hands.
Yes, that's bound to be the case.
As for the Golden Hawksbill Turtle being chosen to transform into Wang Qiu'er, besides the inertia of the original plot, it may also be because of its strong defense, long lifespan, and relative "usefulness".
No, it should be that Golden Hawksbill Turtle is also an auspicious symbol.
It's easier to fool people by impersonating Auspicious Beast.
As for the concerns about Golden Hawksbill Turtle...
Needless to say, you're worrying for nothing.
Becoming a god is certain.
If she were to merge with Wang Dong'er and become the daughter of the God King Tang, she could expect to enjoy a life of luxury.
"Ahem," Gu Yu cleared her throat, deciding to give a little hint, hoping to make him even more determined to get together with Huo Yuhao.
I'm sorry, Huo Yuhao, it's not my fault.
Blame your Cheap Master if you must.
"Don't worry, Di Tian ~ cough cough, your master would never lie to you. There's no benefit in lying to you anyway, so just put your mind at ease."
"You just need to love him consistently and wholeheartedly. But in the meantime, you can do this first, and then this..."
Outside the window, the night grew even deeper.
Ji Juechen stood motionless in the shadow of the building opposite the hotel, like a cold stone sculpture.
His sharp, sword-like eyes pierced the darkness, fixed intently on the window of the room where Gu Yu and " Wang Qiu'er " had entered.
The curtains were drawn, letting in only a faint light.
Ji Juechen's expression was extremely unpleasant. Even if he was Sword Fanatic, he wasn't an idiot. What did it mean for a man and a woman to be alone in a hotel room?
Wang Qiu'er, how can you do this to your brother Yuhao?
Ji Juechen suppressed his anger. If it weren't for Yuhao's feelings, he would have already caught them in bed together.
Time passed little by little.
The hotel room door was finally opened only when a faint glimmer of dawn appeared on the horizon.
Gu Yu was the first to step out, glanced around warily, and quickly disappeared into the deepest darkness before dawn, leaving swiftly.
A few minutes later, Wang Qiu'er came out.
At this moment, she seemed to have tidied her appearance and regained her aloof and elegant goddess demeanor, but her eyes were slightly red, and her expression carried a hint of fatigue and a barely perceptible daze.
To be honest, I studied it all night.
That's when she understood how to be a woman, especially a good woman.
That's a bit difficult.
But no one knew why Gu Yu knew so much.
As expected of Di Tian's Disciple.
She didn't return to the academy immediately, but stood there, gazing in the direction where Gu Yu had disappeared.
He stood there lost in thought for a while before letting out a soft sigh and turning to walk towards the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy.
This scene was witnessed by Ji Juechen from afar.
In his mind, based on the hours of waiting and the scene before him, a complete "betrayal drama" had already been played out.
A secret rendezvous late at night, spending hours alone in a hotel, the woman gazing at him with reluctance and red-rimmed eyes as she saw him off.
"The evidence is conclusive."
Ji Juechen uttered four cold words, his eyes losing all warmth, leaving only icy anger and deep sympathy for his close friend Huo Yuhao.
He gripped the invisible hilt of his sword tightly at his waist, and an invisible, chilling Sword Intent spread uncontrollably, causing the fallen leaves beneath his feet to shatter silently.
" Yuhao ~ I'm here to tell you the truth."
He turned around, his figure transforming into a sharp, sword-like afterimage as he sped towards Huo Yuhao's dormitory.
He wanted to tell the innocent boy who trusted " Wang Qiu'er " the cruel but necessary truth before Huo Yuhao woke up.
At this moment, all that remained in the Sword Fanatic's heart was the resolute determination to sever this "ill-fated relationship" for his friend.
Yuhao, my little brother, must never become a clown!
Meanwhile, a thousand miles away...
Inside the jolting carriage, Wang Dong was suddenly jolted awake from his light sleep, his heart pounding wildly, and a cold sweat breaking out on his back.
"What's wrong?" Wang Chun'er, who hadn't slept at all, immediately noticed and asked with concern.
"It's nothing." Wang Dong suppressed the inexplicable unease and palpitations welling up in his heart, and rubbed his temples irritably. "I had a nightmare."
In her dream, she seemed to see Huo Yuhao standing in a golden halo, smiling at her, but that smile was incredibly distant.
Beside him stood a blurry yet extremely dazzling golden figure, intimately linking arms with Huo Yuhao.
The aura emanating from that figure made her feel a sense of unease and hostility that originated from the depths of her soul.
"We're almost at the post station Shrek City. We'll transfer to a soul-guided carriage and arrive at the Sun Moon Empire soon," Wang Chun'er said softly. "We'll see Yuhao soon too."
"Hmm," Wang Dong responded listlessly, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards the rapidly receding woods outside the window, gradually being illuminated by the morning light. An unease Entanglement into his heart like vines.
Yuhao ~ How are you?
For some reason, the feeling from that dream mixed a lingering fear and panic into her eagerness to see Huo Yuhao.
It was as if something she cherished was quietly changing, even collapsing, on her journey day and night.
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
The mere existence of Wang Chun'er is surprising enough.
How could another person who looks so much like you possibly appear?
If Wang Dong really existed, he would probably start to wonder if he were some kind of clone.
" Yuhao, wait for me!"
"You must wait for me!"
"I'm coming right away!"
