Sixth Junior Sister Wang Dong'er

After a long silence, Wang Dong'er finally raised her head, her eyes red as she looked at Luo Can: "Master, can you really make me stronger? Can you really help me break free from that person's control?"

"Of course." Luo Can nodded, his tone very certain. "Not only am I here, but also your master's wife. We will do our best to teach you. Moreover, you have five senior sisters. Their talents are top-notch in any era. You will cultivate together, grow together, and face powerful enemies together."

Wang Dong'er bit her lip, her eyes gradually hardening. "I understand! Master, please teach me in the strictest way possible!"

"Okay." Luo Can smiled and ruffled her soft, light blue hair. "Don't worry, I will definitely train you to be a strong person who can stand on your own."

He took Wang Dong'er's small hand. "Come on, I'll take you to meet your senior sisters. You're all about the same age, you'll definitely get along well."

"Mmm." Wang Dong'er nodded obediently, holding Luo Can's hand tightly.

The two took to the air and flew towards the Disciple Courtyard.

After flying for a while, Wang Dong'er suddenly spoke again, "Master, my Big Uncle and Second Uncle, did they always know whose daughter I was? Were they... on that person's orders to guard me?"

Luo Can paused for a moment, then decided to give her a little more information.

Luo Can slowly began, "Niu Tian and Tai Tan were originally Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast like your mother. They had a very deep relationship with your mother, a bond similar to that of siblings."

He paused here, seemingly considering his words.

"However, for some reason, Niu Tian Tai Tan later sacrificed themselves to your father. Therefore, after your father became a god, he resurrected the two in the Divine Realm, and they became his God Official."

Luo Can didn't say anything more. Some things are better left unsaid; the seed has been planted, and the rest is up to her to figure out.

Wang Dong'er fell silent again.

She thought back to her days at Haotian Castle. Niu Tian Tai Tan had indeed treated her very well, indulging her every whim and spoiling her like a little princess. But whenever she asked about her parents, they would immediately shut up and always brush her off with "You'll know when you grow up."

She used to think they had their own difficulties, but now she realizes there's always something hidden behind their concern.

Before they knew it, the two had flown to the Disciple Courtyard.

The courtyard was bustling with activity as Ye Lingling and her three friends were sparring. Xiao Xiao's Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron pounded the ground with a resounding thud, Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Purple Poison drifted everywhere, and Wu Siduo, transformed into a half-human, half-tiger form, was exchanging blows with Ye Lingling.

"Master!"

Upon seeing Luo Can enter, Xiao Xiao was the first to stop what she was doing and skipped over. Then she noticed Wang Dong'er behind Luo Can, her head bowed and her expression somewhat forlorn.

Luo Can pulled Wang Dong'er in front of him and said with a smile to everyone, "Let me introduce you, this is your new junior sister, Wang Dong'er. Dong'er, from today onwards, you are the sixth one."

Wow! A new junior sister!

Five little girls immediately surrounded Wang Dong'er, their eyes sparkling as they looked at her.

"Hello, junior sister!" Xiao Xiao, always the most outgoing, grabbed Wang Dong'er's hand. "You're so pretty! My name is Xiao Xiao, and I'm the Old Four in my family!"

She pulled Wang Dong'er along and pointed to the others, introducing them. "The gentlest one is Senior Sister Ye Lingling, the one in purple is Second Senior Sister Dugu Yan, the one with blue hair is Third Senior Sister Tang Ya, and the cool one at the end is Fifth Junior Sister Wu Siduo!"

"Welcome, Junior Sister." Ye Lingling smiled gently. "You can ask me if you have any questions in the future."

"If anyone bullies you, just tell your second senior sister! Your senior sister will poison the bully so badly that even your parents won't recognize them," Dugu Yan patted her chest, looking every bit the big sister.

Tang Ya nodded to her and gave her a gentle smile.

Only Wu Siduo was stunned when she heard the name "Wang Dong'er".

She stared at Wang Dong'er for a long time, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "You... you're Wang Dong'er?! The daughter of the Sea God, the wife of Huo Yuhao, the first master of the Spirit Pagoda?!"

The courtyard fell silent instantly upon hearing this.

Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan, and Xiao Xiao were all stunned, looking at Wang Dong'er with surprise. Tang Ya's eyes widened as she looked Wang Dong'er up and down.

Luo Can secretly gave Wu Siduo a thumbs up in his heart; that finishing blow came at just the right time.

"You... you know me?" Wang Dong'er looked at Wu Siduo with a blank expression.

"Of course I know you!" Wu Siduo said excitedly, "You're a legendary figure from our time! Your original name was Tang Wutong, but you changed it to Wang Dong'er so you could go to the Shrek Academy. It was at Shrek you met Huo Yuhao in his youth, and I grew up listening to your stories!"

After all, she was also from a branch of the Dai Family, a descendant of the First-generation Shrek Seven Devils Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing. As for Huo Yuhao, a deity who emerged from the Dai Family, the clan had extremely detailed records of the life stories of these two Ancestor.

"Wow! Si Duo, tell me their story! I love listening to stories!" Xiao Xiao immediately became interested, her eyes shining as she looked at Wu Siduo.

But Wang Dong'er was no longer listening.

Wu Siduo's words were like the last straw, completely convincing her that what her master had said was true. She really was a tool, a chain used to "tether" that "Child of Destiny" named Huo Yuhao.

She could no longer hold back her tears, and large drops slid down her cheeks.

"Hey? Why are you crying?"

Xiao Xiao and Wu Siduo finally realized something was wrong.

Luo Can immediately used his mental power to transmit a message to them. "Dong'er's situation is rather special. Her soul was split into three parts by her father, and she doesn't remember anything now. You are not allowed to mention these things in front of her in the future, understand?"

Seeing Wang Dong'er's face covered in tears, the two men quickly nodded guiltily and shut their mouths.

Luo Can knelt down in front of Wang Dong'er and said, "That's for the future. Everything hasn't even started yet. With your teacher here, your future is in your own hands!"

Wang Dong'er looked up at Luo Can, wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and said, "I want to become stronger, strong enough to control my own destiny, strong enough to make the person who used me as a tool pay the price."

At this moment, the desire to become stronger was stronger than ever before in her mind.

"Yes, I will." Luo Can nodded gently.
