For heaven's sake, if he knew you'd shout "Murder!" he wouldn't have slept—he'd have run for it.

Who'd want to stand next to a lunatic like you?

Besides, Tang Wulin was just a background extra. What difference did it make whether he was asleep?

It wasn't like your dad was the one snoring onstage.

You wanted to "teach" some passerby a lesson, so you didn't even care about your father's life or matters of state.

That wasn't being mischievous. That was being a complete idiot.

All right, that wasn't the end of it.

At the evening dance, Dai Yun'er came right up to him again.

She'd nearly scared the soul out of him that morning, and now she was actually dragging Tang Wulin onto the dance floor as if nothing had happened.

Tang Wulin was probably still rattled, but she was a princess, so he couldn't just openly snub her.

He could only grit his teeth and dance.

Then, by accident, he stepped on Dai Yun'er's foot.

That stirred up a hornet's nest.

Dai Yun'er declared on the spot, "If you win the championship... I'll be your girlfriend."

Girl, who are you? You're a princess of the Star Luo Empire!

You're using your whole life's happiness as a wager to toy with someone. Do you think your dad's face is so thick he won't be embarrassed?

Or do you think your own reputation is worthless?

Did you even think about the consequences of saying that?

How many princes, nobles, and talented young men were watching her with eager eyes?

Those people would stop at nothing to win her.

With those words, you'd put Tang Wulin over a fire, making half of Star Luo's upper crust target him.

Even more absurdly, from your point of view, you had no idea how powerful Tang Wulin was.

With that one remark, weren't you practically driving him to his death?

If he wasn't strong enough and those jealous nobles killed him, could you take responsibility?

A princess making a joke like that with her own status wasn't evil. It was stupid beyond belief.

If your IQ were even in the double digits, would you do something like this?

And it got even worse.

There was a powerhouse named Long Yue on Dai Yun'er's team.

Long Yue was incredibly strong, but whenever he fought, he was prone to losing his mind. When he went berserk, he might even kill someone.

And, as it happened, Long Yue liked her.

So she went and egged Long Yue on, telling him to "deal with" Tang Wulin in the competition.

You knew Long Yue might kill someone when he went berserk, and you still deliberately sent him after Tang Wulin?

Were you hoping things would get even worse?

Tang Wulin was from Shrek Academy!

What was Shrek? It was the greatest academy on the continent. Even your dad had to show it some respect.

If Tang Wulin really died in the Star Luo Empire, your dad would have to get down on his knees and apologize to them.

The two sides might even become enemies.

Calling you a princess was giving you too much credit.

You'd be better off as a spy sent by the enemy—no spy has ever been as good at getting their own side killed as you are.

And that wasn't all. Before the competition, this princess pulled another stunt.

Dai Yun'er ran into Tang Wulin again along the way.

This time, she was even more ridiculous. She took it upon herself to declare that if Shrek's side won even once, they would count as having won the entire competition.

Who do you think you are? You're a princess, and you're wagering the reputation of the entire Soul Master World in Star Luo?

Did you have any regard for your team's interests or your country's honor?

Even your dad wouldn't be so rash as to make decisions for everyone else, would he?

From beginning to end, there wasn't a single thing Princess Dai Yun'er did that didn't dig a hole for herself, her father, or the Star Luo Empire.

Every word, every action, radiated a suffocating ignorance and selfishness.

The Star Luo Empire's honor, the team's interests, your father's political future, the diplomatic relations between two nations—

In Dai Yun'er's eyes, none of that was as fun as "teaching" some dozing passerby a lesson on a whim.

Dai Yun'er, Dai Yun'er. If you weren't stupid to the core, then you were stupid to the marrow.

Take your pick between those two. Either way, you're stupid.

Oh, right. Characters like this usually get a pretty name like "mischievous princess."

But whose idea of mischief is playing with fire during a meeting between national leaders?

Whose idea of mischief is using their own engagement as a wager to hurt someone?

This was nothing less than the absolute pinnacle of brainlessness!

Though this round of revelations hadn't directly said anything about Bed-Under Douluo, it was clear that this Dai Yun'er really wasn't very bright.

After seeing one character after another, everyone felt like they were about to die of secondhand embarrassment.

Was this the standard of education in the Star Luo Empire?

[God of Evil of Douluo Era 1]: "All right, all right. It's not like I've never encountered a princess before."

[God of Evil of Douluo Era 1]: "But a princess this inconsiderate and disruptive? That's a rare sight."

[God of Evil of Douluo Era 1]: "Let me ask—does that guy's father know she's his biological daughter?"

[God of Destruction of Douluo Era 1]: "Maybe she won't be his biological daughter after today..."

[God of Evil of Douluo Era 1]: "Hahaha, Destruction, you know how to joke now?"

[Star Luo Emperor of Douluo Era 3]: "..."

[Dai Yueyan of Douluo Era 3]: "Sigh, Yun'er, you! You can be mischievous and cause trouble in everyday life, but you dared to act up during a political occasion like this?"

[Dai Yueyan of Douluo Era 3]: "Father and I have indulged you far too much! Today, I'm going to teach you a proper lesson!"

[Dai Yun'er of Douluo Era 3]: "Huh? No, please, Brother! I had no idea! Who knows if what's on this Light Screen is true or not? Don't get worked up!"

[Dai Yun'er of Douluo Era 3]: "Oh no, it hasn't even happened yet, and I'm already being punished in advance?"

[Dai Tianling of Douluo Era 3]: "Even now, you're still making a scene and talking nonsense! You're going to completely disgrace our entire Star Luo Royal Family!!"

[Bibi Dong of Douluo I]: "What a bunch of fools. I never imagined that the Star Luo Royal Family twenty thousand years in the future would be this useless."

[Bibi Dong of Douluo I]: "They're even worse than the Star Luo Empire in my era. At least we could raise candidates like poisonous insects and select a capable heir."

[Star Luo Emperor of Douluo Era 1]: "Sigh, what does this prove... It proves that ancestral laws must not be changed!"

[Star Luo Emperor of Douluo Era 1]: "@[Dai Tianling of Douluo Era 3], you must be my descendants too, right? How dare you change the way your ancestors educated their children?"

[Dai Tianling of Douluo Era 3]: "Yes, yes, Ancestor. This is our fault. We'll definitely change it back."

[Dai Tianling of Douluo Era 3]: "I'll go teach that girl a lesson first!"

[Tang Wulin of Douluo Era 3]: "But this Light Screen is talking about Dai Yun'er, and somehow I'm involved too."

[Tang Wulin of Douluo Era 3]: "Could it be that even I can join Shrek Academy?"

[Tang Wulin of Douluo Era 3]: "I'm just an ordinary Blue Silver Grass Soul Master. I'm not even that strong at Eastsea Academy. Could I... could I really join Shrek Academy in the future?"

Apart from the other supporting characters, who kept going on about that Dai Yun'er, Tang Wulin was practically the only one concerned about himself.

He could hardly imagine that, despite having Blue Silver Grass, a Trash Martial Soul, he could still join Shrek Academy in the future and become one of its representatives.

That gave him a little more confidence.

It seemed I'm not completely useless after all...
