Wang Dong'er's shout had just echoed through the entire girls' dormitory, and now her heart-wrenching sobs drew the attention of many nearby girls, who came out to see what had happened.

Before they could crowd over, however, the other girls with Diary Copies arrived and quietly told everyone to disperse. There was nothing to see.

Only after exhausting every means to send everyone away did the girls finally enter the dormitory room.

Watching Wang Dong'er clutch Xiao Xiao tightly as she wept uncontrollably, even these "rivals" could not help but feel pity and sympathy for her tragic fate.

If Huo Yuhao had not known what would happen in the future, and if there had not been that unfathomable Diary with its unimaginable effects, then the final fate of Wang Dong'er, the Light Goddess Butterfly, would likely have been to become ever more tightly ensnared in the web woven by Tang San, until she was completely devoured and replaced by another stitched-together freak!

While all the beautiful girls were offering blessings for Wang Dong'er's new life, Xu Tianzhen felt a trace of regret amid her blessings.

Just like Gu Yuena, the moment Xu Tianzhen saw that Wang Dong'er had received a Magical Blessing capable of healing all wounds, she rushed over at once, hoping to make a deal with Wang Dong'er. As long as Wang Dong'er was willing to give her that reward, Xu Tianzhen would agree to any condition.

After all, her imperial father had long been suffering from illness and pain, while her brothers were all scheming against one another for the throne of the Sun Moon Empire.

Though she was a princess and had not been dragged into that struggle for power, if possible, Xu Tianzhen naturally hoped most of all that her imperial father's injuries could be healed.

Yet just like Gu Yuena, after seeing Wang Dong'er's mixture of sorrow and joy, even though she still felt somewhat unwilling, she was sincerely happy for Wang Dong'er's new life.

As for restoring her imperial father?

At worst, she could wait a little longer!

As long as the Diary Copy remained, sooner or later she would receive a reward similar to Wang Dong'er's Magical Blessing.

After Wang Dong'er had fully vented the grief in her heart, her emotions finally began to settle.

Seeing all the beautiful girls in the dormitory watching her cry her eyes out, Wang Dong'er's fair, delicate face suddenly flushed bright red. Gone was her usual bold and open manner, replaced by a touch of girlish shyness.

Seeing her like this, all the girls smiled kindly in unspoken agreement.

Gu Yuena watched the scene from the side. After looking around and confirming that the girls at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy who possessed Diary Copies had all gathered, she slowly said,

"If anyone receives a reward in the future that can heal all wounds, you can choose to trade with me. Whether you want Soul Rings or Soul Bones, either is fine."

"If you need Soul Bones, I can even offer Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones in exchange."

As Gu Yuena's words fell, the atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly became utterly silent. Everyone turned their eyes toward Gu Yuena in unspoken agreement, including Wang Dong'er, who had only just experienced a new beginning.

Trading with Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones—perhaps even all the top powers of Sun Moon and the original three great Douluo empires would have to weigh such an offer carefully.

But after recalling Gu Yuena's identity as the Soul Beast Co-Lord, they found it only natural.

Not to mention anything else, there were likely quite a few Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest that had failed their tribulations, perhaps even Ferocious Beasts. The Soul Bones they left behind would naturally have been collected by other Ferocious Beasts.

If a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone could be exchanged for the complete recovery of Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King, then the Ferocious Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest would probably scramble to make that trade, wouldn't they?

Seeing Gu Yuena bring up the matter first, Xu Tianzhen hurriedly added,

"I am willing to trade too! I may not be able to offer a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, but if my imperial father can recover, then no matter what conditions are proposed, he will certainly do everything in his power to fulfill them!"

Gu Yuena's slender brows furrowed as she looked at Xu Tianzhen with some displeasure. Though Xu Tianzhen was frightened by Gu Yuena's aura, when she thought of her imperial father suffering under the torment of illness, she still gathered her courage and met Gu Yuena's gaze.

Seeing the atmosphere grow tense again, Wang Dong'er thought for a moment, wiped the tears from her face, and suggested,

"How about this? If we receive any rewards in the future that we do not personally need, we can temporarily store them in the Diary Copy. If someone else needs them, they can exchange them with items or rewards they possess."

After hearing Wang Dong'er's words, the girls present exchanged glances and immediately agreed to her suggestion.

As the atmosphere eased once more, Meng Hongchen also spoke up.

"Yuhao is about to reach level twenty. He said in the Diary that he plans to have Xiao and me take him to hunt for a Soul Ring. I hope no one ruins this time!"

What Meng Hongchen had not expected was that her words received no response at all. She could even clearly see the eyes of all the girls present flickering as they began considering how they could go hunt Soul Rings with Huo Yuhao. Even Gu Yuena, the noble Silver Dragon King, was no exception.

Gu Yuena was now desperate to shed her title as the unluckiest person. She truly refused to believe that when she received a Diary Copy reward for the third time, she would still get that guaranteed consolation prize!

"You people! Damn it! I'm telling you, even if you want to steal him away, Yuhao will definitely go with me in the end! If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"

After saying that, Meng Hongchen ignored them all and turned to storm angrily out of the dormitory.

Sure enough, when it came to the rewards from the Diary Copy, there was no point expecting them not to take action!

After reiterating that anyone who received a reward capable of healing wounds could trade with her, Gu Yuena left with Di Qiu'er. Just as Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao had reconciled, the two of them tacitly chose not to dwell on their earlier minor conflict.

While the friendly atmosphere here collapsed once again, in the dean's office, Jing Hongchen looked at Lin Jiayi, the director of instruction, who had pushed open the door and entered. Setting down the brand-new First-Level Soul Tool in his hand, he asked,

"Well? Was the truth really as Huo Yuhao said?"

Lin Jiayi nodded heavily. Thinking of the intelligence he had received earlier, he could not help grinning.

"Huo Yuhao truly is the son of that White Tiger Duke, and the suffering endured by him and his mother was indeed exactly as he described. From beginning to end, they were oppressed and bullied. Even his mother's death was caused by those people from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion!"

Hearing this, Jing Hongchen burst into laughter.

"Those people of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion truly have no idea what price they will have to pay for their actions! They sent a genius like Huo Yuhao to our Sun Moon. When the opportunity arises, this old man will certainly thank them in person!"
