This Hu Liena is Very Strange

[Oh, right.]

[This piece of trash spent his time playing at platonic romance with Liu Erlong while exploiting Bibi Dong's lingering feelings to obtain the secret of the twin spirits for Little Bastard, ultimately helping him destroy Spirit Hall.]

[How truly shameless!]

[Uh... in the end, I have to mention that Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong are pathetic enough themselves. To be hurt to this extent and still love Yu Xiaogang—the way they act as simps makes even the most devoted fools look like geniuses.]

The diary entry was finished.

Su Chen spat fiercely, then felt a dull ache in his teeth.

Setting aside all those bizarre speculations, when it came to his treatment of Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong, Yu Xiaogang was a total animal!

How desperate was Bibi Dong in that secret chamber?

How heartbroken was Liu Erlong at the wedding?

However.

Scumbag as Yu Xiaogang might be.

Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong didn't seem much better... one treated a waste as a treasure, and the other couldn't even recognize the Golden Sacred Dragon.

These two could give Brother Tao a run for his money.

Oh well!

I'll head to Shrek next; I really must have a good chat with Gangzi. How can one play at platonic romance without cutting things off properly?

Su Yuntao: I was vehemently opposed to the two of you dissolving the Blind Douluo duo back then!

Blue Tyrant Academy.

Liu Erlong stood frozen on the spot, her emotions complex to the extreme.

She couldn't believe it.

She didn't want to believe it.

Yet, the contents of Su Chen's diary were like needles, repeatedly pricking at her throat, leaving her unable to choke out a sound.

Like sitting on pins and needles.

Like having thorns pricking her back.

Like a bone stuck in her throat.

These events, these words.

Her father had once questioned her, furious at how she could ever walk down the aisle with Yu Xiaogang—had she been kicked in the head by a donkey?

Because of the filter of love.

Liu Erlong had never considered Yu Xiaogang a waste; she had always viewed him as the most hardworking and talented person.

If others mocked him, it was only because they didn't understand him.

It was precisely this reason that now made it hard for Liu Erlong to breathe.

Back then, she was young and didn't know much about spirits, let alone spirit mutations, but Yu Xiaogang was different!

He had spent his entire life researching these things...

The truth was the most painful thing of all!

Memories of the past came flooding back.

Yu Xiaogang had studied spirits his whole life; was he truly a fool, or was he just playing dumb?

Liu Erlong's heart was in turmoil, and she didn't know how to face the reality.

Of course!

At this moment, Liu Erlong desperately hoped that Yu Xiaogang was just a waste, an incompetent fool. That would still be better than it all being a premeditated scheme.

Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong's heart had stabilized by now, but she... actually felt a sliver of sympathy for her former rival, Liu Erlong.

That's right, sympathy!

The Golden Iron Triangle was famous.

The spirit fusion skill—Golden Sacred Dragon.

Bibi Dong was, of course, very familiar with it. She had certainly paid attention to it before, and looking back now, she felt completely bewildered.

Fire Dragon.

Golden Sacred Dragon.

Both were mutations of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Liu Erlong's ignorance was understandable, but Yu Xiaogang had spent his life researching spirit mutations and bloodline inheritance—had he really discovered nothing at all?

Had they never communicated about it?

Hu Liena's head was buzzing at this moment.

At the same time.

Hu Liena felt immense fury; her teacher had actually been ruined by such a piece of trash.

Damn it!

If she ever saw this man named Yu Xiaogang, she would make him wish he were dead. Since he was so weak, she might as well turn him into a woman.

A long time passed.

Only then did Hu Liena ask:

"Teacher, what should we do now that Su Chen is heading to the Sunset Forest?"

Bibi Dong regained her composure, stroked Hu Liena's smooth shoulder, and replied softly:

"If I were to have you follow him directly, not only would it be too suspicious, but I also worry that you might be devoured by him."

"I see that Xie Yue and Yan's soul power are both nearing level fifty. We shall claim they have reached level fifty and use the excuse of hunting for soul rings to have you travel to the Sunset Forest together, with Yue Guan and Gui Mei accompanying you."

Hu Liena nodded happily and said, "Alright! I will go notify them in a moment, and then we shall head to the Sunset Forest together."

Bibi Dong tapped Hu Liena on the head and said:

"I am not sending you there for a vacation. I have two tasks for you on this trip, and I will have Yue Guan and Gui Mei follow your lead. First, you must probe Su Chen's background, understand him deeply, and recruit him to our Pope Palace."

"Second, you must mention my name in front of him as much as possible without drawing attention, so that he writes about me more in his diary."

Although Bibi Dong did not believe the first possibility Su Chen had mentioned—that she was merely a stepping stone—she still felt suspicious because Su Chen had written it down!

If she could appear in Su Chen's diary frequently and receive a reward every day, she would have nothing left to fear!

Hu Liena nodded heavily and promised:

"Teacher, rest assured, I will complete the mission."

"I'll be going now."

Bibi Dong watched Hu Liena leave, full of joy, and her gaze turned complex; her heart gradually began to clear.

At this moment, Bibi Dong's obsession was not as deep, and her hatred had loosened somewhat. The content in Su Chen's diary was like a heavy slap, striking her again and again until her mind began to clear!

She murmured to herself:

"If that Su Chen were only a level fifteen soul master, would you, Nana, make the same choice as I did, and how would I choose then?"

"Yu Xiaogang."

"Are you truly calculating, or are you just a simple piece of trash?"

At noon.

Su Chen was waiting at the school gate, bored out of his mind.

Hu Liena had arranged everything and trotted over to Su Chen, her tone filled with pleading:

"Um... my brother and Yan just happened to break through to level fifty, and they need to go to the Sunset Forest to hunt for soul rings. Could we travel together?"

Uh.

Su Chen felt something was a bit off!

This Hu Liena was acting strange, very strange indeed!

As of now.

Although he already possessed strength, he had never revealed it. Even though he had long since discovered someone secretly watching him, he hadn't shown any abnormalities.

But what was with Hu Liena's attitude?

Damn it!

I haven't even made a move to flirt, yet you little vixen have already fallen for me?

I dare not.

If you keep this up, wouldn't I be just like Gangzi? Receiving your favors without repaying them, only to turn around and abduct you.

Is this the rhythm of me being locked in a secret room?

Su Chen's expression was helpless as he clearly refused:

"Actually, I have serious business to attend to. It would be a bit inconvenient if we were together. I'll just go by myself."

Hu Liena didn't listen at all; she grabbed Su Chen's arm and shook it:

"Oh! What's so inconvenient about that? We'll travel together this time, and if anything happens, we can look out for you."

"It's settled then. I'm going to call my brother and Yan, and we'll set off in a bit."
