A Classic Last-Minute Rescue
Upon seeing this, Tang Ya's tightly pressed lips curled into a rare, faint smile, and the anger in her eyes subsided somewhat.
"Fool."
She muttered under her breath, "For me, you're willing to endure even this."
Tang Ya wondered if her attitude towards Bei Bei was a bit too harsh.
Ever since reading Lin Ye's diary and learning that Zhang Lexuan was Bei Bei's childhood sweetheart, her attitude towards Bei Bei has visibly become much colder.
However, after learning the truth, she realized she had wronged Bei Bei.
After all, Bei Bei had no idea that Zhang Lexuan, whom he regarded as his own sister, was actually his fiancée and a child bride. He himself was completely unaware of this.
The saying goes, "ignorance is no excuse," Tang Ya felt she should change her attitude towards Bei Bei. Moreover, after reading today's diary entries, her opinion of Bei Bei changed even more.
Bei Bei initially resisted Xu Sanshi, but Xu Sanshi asked, "For Xiaoya's sake, are you willing to die here?"
Although it didn't work out in the end, Bei Bei's courage and boldness in risking everything for her deeply moved her.
Shrek Academy, Inner Court Office.
Zhang Lexuan was sitting at her desk, marking a large cross on a college planning line with a red pen.
When she looked up, the contents of her diary appeared in her mind. She paused, her hand holding the red pen, then covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her eyes filled with helplessness.
"Those two are really... But it's better than them actually kissing. Otherwise, they'd probably have to keep their heads down and avoid each other when they see each other in the future."
Just thinking about that scene made Zhang Lexuan chuckle, and even her long-standing depressed mood lessened a bit.
Especially for Bei Bei, the thought of almost Bei Bei Xu Sanshi and then turning around and vomiting because she felt nauseous was making her almost unable to hold back.

Upon seeing this, a hint of a smile flashed in Gu Yuena's cool eyes.
"Tang San certainly knows how to make things difficult for people."
She said calmly, her tone revealing neither joy nor anger. "Testing people's hearts in this way is ultimately a narrow-minded approach, but since it's Tang San, it's not surprising."
If it were the old Gu Yuena, she would definitely have cursed and swore, because she felt that as a god, one should have the dignity, the character, and the pride of a god.
But ever since she got Lin Ye's Diary and learned about Tang San's various actions, she would never think that way again.
What is a god? He is nothing more than a powerful being who cultivates to become a god. And what happens after becoming a god? He remains as despicable as ever, as petty as ever.

Ju Zi picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips.
"I never expected that the mighty Sea God would have such a twisted side, treating other people's dignity and lives as playthings. It's quite consistent with his usual style. But I must say, this show is really quite entertaining."
The Far North.
Ice Empress curled her lip and said with a look of disgust, "Tsk, these two guys are so useless. It's just a kiss, why are they throwing up like this?"
Snow Empress chuckled softly, "If it were you, would you be willing to kiss someone you don't like?"
Ice Empress blushed and turned her head away. "I don't want to!"
Next up is the adventure section of the second level.
The second trial in Heaven-and-Earth Valley of Love Inquiry is nominally called an adventure, but in reality it's about throwing people into desperate situations to gamble with their lives.
Everyone who passes the first level will be randomly teleported to different locations, and each person's task will be tailor-made to be extremely demanding.
There is only one punishment for failure: actual death.
Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi were teleported to Bright Capital, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire.
Their adventure was defined by a single sentence: Break through the encirclement, escape Bright Capital, and return to West Mountain territory.
The rules are written in a cold and straightforward manner: death during the assessment is considered a real death.
If you do not set foot within the West Mountain area for more than three days, you will fail the assessment, and the punishment will be death.
The assessment will now officially begin.
At this point in time, Bright Capital had just experienced a cataclysmic explosion, turning half of the city into charred ruins.
The entire city was placed under martial law at the highest level; all city gates were welded shut, and not even a bird could fly out.
Every few steps along the street, there is a patrol team of fully armed taxi drivers. The most advanced soul-guided detectors scan continuously 24 hours a day, and no fluctuation of Soul Power can escape the monitoring.
Bright Capital net has been laid around Mingdu, with dozens of Titled Douluo and several Super Douluo personally overseeing the operation, ready to wipe out any suspicious individuals taking advantage of the chaos.
Even if Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi were to combine their efforts, they wouldn't be able to withstand a single move from those Titled Douluo.
The chances of escaping from the impregnable Ming Bright Capital were practically zero, if not very high.
Fortunately, Bei Bei was much more composed than Xu Sanshi. As soon as the teleportation light dissipated, he grabbed the still dazed Xu Sanshi and hid in a dead corner of a collapsed house nearby.
After quickly scanning his surroundings, he immediately devised the safest escape plan.
Not only those two, but the trials of the others were all more despicable than the last.
Huo Yuhao was thrown onto the border battlefield between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire. His mission was to save Dai Hao, who was about to be assassinated.
That is, the biological father who abandoned him and his mother, and whom he hated for more than ten years.
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were directly assigned the identity of White Tiger Guards, and their mission was precisely to protect Dai Hao's safety at all costs.
It's easy to imagine that when these people get together, the struggle between an irreconcilable blood feud and a mission that could result in death is a hundred times more dangerous than facing an enemy.
Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi acted according to plan in Bright Capital, hiding and dodging countless patrol searches along the way, and also encountering many unexpected dangers.
They barely slept during this time; their food and water were long gone, and their Soul Power was almost completely depleted.
They finally managed to escape from an abandoned drain in the most remote northwest corner of Bright Capital, just before the deadline.
However, when they came out, both of them were already at their limit.
To cover Xu Sanshi's escape from pursuers, Bei Bei took a full-force attack from a Soul Douluo and immediately lost consciousness.
Although Xu Sanshi was still conscious, he was covered in injuries and his Soul Power was completely exhausted. He couldn't even stand steadily and could only lean against the wall, panting heavily.
Just when they thought they wouldn't make it back to Shrek, Huo Yuhao arrived.
That's right, it's still Huo Yuhao.
If he hadn't just finished his trial and sensed the Soul Power fluctuations here to come and save them, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi would probably have really perished on the outskirts of Bright Capital.
All I can say is that he truly lives up to his role as the protagonist; his timely intervention saved the day.
