The Wang Dong'er Who Never Woke Up
Who is Du Busi? He's the sect leader of the Body Sect. Why did those two have to choose such a desolate place to fight, right on the edge of a godforsaken town?
They're done fighting and they're still not leaving? They insist on staying there to recover? I simply don't believe it.

Ning Tian was sitting at his desk, his pen lightly tracing lines on the paper.
When the contents of her Diary flooded her mind, she stopped writing and thoughtfully rested her chin on her hand.
Lin Ye is right, this is no coincidence at all.
Many seemingly accidental encounters are actually the result of meticulous planning by countless people.
Mu En's rescue of Zhang Lexuan was definitely premeditated.
Holding the sole heir of the Silver Moon Lineage Sun Moon Empire in one's hands is tantamount to holding half of the Sun Moon Empire's future in one's hands.
If saving her was just a momentary act of kindness by Mu En, then what happened afterward completely exposed his true intentions.
He actually made Zhang Lexuan swear that she would be Bei Bei's child bride for life.
The debt of gratitude for saving her life is greater than the sky; Zhang Lexuan can never repay it in this lifetime.
If Mu En really just wanted to save her, wouldn't it have been enough to train her properly and make her a member of Shrek? Why go through all that trouble and make her make this kind of vow?
In an instant, he went from being a savior in a high and mighty position to a blackmailer who held other people's lives in his hands.
As long as Zhang Lexuan still believes in this vow, she will never be able to leave Shrek or Bei Bei for the rest of her life, and will have no choice but to wholeheartedly serve Shrek.
Tang Ya's eyes darkened as she read the diary entries. A few drops of tea from her cup splashed onto the back of her hand, but she was completely unaware.
With a hint of bitterness and self-deprecation, she said, "So that's how it is... I used to think that Dean Mu En was a true righteous person, a guardian deity of the Douluo Continent."
In retrospect, he was nothing more than someone who would stop at nothing to benefit his sect.
Just like the Clear Sky Sect back then, in order to protect themselves, they watched helplessly as the Tang Sect was destroyed.
In this world, there are no truly good people, only eternal interests.
Tang Ya shook her head. She should have seen through it long ago, but she had still held onto some illusions before.
The Far North.
Upon seeing the contents of the diary, Ice Empress sat up abruptly, whipping her tail violently and shattering a block of ice about half a person's height into pieces.
"I told you, there isn't a single good human being! Especially that old bastard named Mu En, he looks kind and gentle, but he's full of wicked and immoral thoughts."
She saved someone and then blackmailed her into becoming her great-grandson's wife—how shameless! Xue'er, see? I told you so!"
With a hint of helpless amusement in her eyes, Snow Empress gently patted Ice Empress's shoulder and advised, "Alright, don't be angry. That's just how the human world is, full of scheming and manipulation, unlike us Soul Beast."
[And don't forget, Shrek Academy has more than just Zhang Lexuan as a pawn.]
There's also He Caitou, also known as Xu He, the rightful former crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire.
A former crown prince and a princess of the Silver Moon Clan—what weight do these two identities carry together?
Xu Tianran's throne was already precarious, with many people opposing him.
Once Xu Tianran has an accident, Shrek only needs to push Xu He forward, and then have Zhang Lexuan step forward as the heir of the Silver Moon Lineage to announce her support for Xu He. Wouldn't the throne of the Sun Moon Empire then firmly fall into Xu He's hands?
At that time, the entire Sun Moon Empire will have to act according to Shrek's wishes. Their plan is truly shrewd and meticulous.
This is actually not a complicated matter; it's easy to figure out.

The moment Zhang Lexuan saw the contents of the Diary, the sky seemed to collapse. The contents were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in her mind.
The file in her hand fell to the ground, scattering everywhere. She stared blankly out the window, her expression complex.
"So... I survived not because of luck, but because I was a useful pawn?"
Mu En save me not out of pity, but because of my identity? Was making me Bei Bei's child bride simply a way to bind me firmly to Shrek's chariot?
For so many years, I thought I had found my true home, but it turns out... it was all a lie?
Her lips trembled slightly, and her heart felt as if a block of ice had been stuffed inside, making it hard to breathe.

When Wang Dong'er saw the contents of the diary, a cold, mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips.
What's so surprising? Mu En was Tang San's most loyal lackey. Tang San even used his own daughter as a pawn and schemed against me for over a decade.
What's so strange about Mu En learning from him?
Shrek? What number one academy on the continent? It's nothing more than a tool for Tang San to control the Douluo Continent.
They all wear the cloak of justice, but behind the scenes they do the dirtiest things.
Forget it, these conspiracies are just baseless gossip in the end; just enjoy the show.
What is Mu En up to? How will Shrek and the Sun Moon Empire fight in the future? What does that have to do with me?
As long as my fists are strong enough, no matter how many elaborate schemes they devise, they are all just petty tricks in the face of absolute power.
I suddenly remembered something: in the upcoming competition, Senior Sister Ma Xiaotao is really going crazy.
Especially during the finals against the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, she unleashed her full Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, turning the entire arena into a sea of fire, burning all the Sun Moon Empire's fancy Soul Tool to ashes.
The Sun Moon Empire has suffered such a huge loss of face; they'll be green with rage when they return, and they certainly won't be willing to let it go so easily.
That's why they later changed the rules to allow sects to participate; this was the first time the rules had been changed in all the previous Soul Master Tournament.

Wang Dong'er's chest rose and fell slightly, and sweat slid down her jawline from her forehead.
Upon seeing the contents of the Diary, her eyes suddenly turned cold, her face filled with anger, resentment, and... fear.
So, her life was destined to end at Heaven-and-Earth Valley of Love Inquiry Heaven-and-Earth Valley of Love Inquiry? She had witnessed her entire future journey there.
After dying for Huo Yuhao and falling into a coma, she thought she would wake up, but it turned out to be her swan song.
That sleep was the last one she ever woke up from.
The one who woke up was Tang Wutong, not Wang Dong'er.
She, Wang Dong'er, is dead.
For the next Soul Master Tournament, Shrek went all out with a double insurance strategy, sending out two teams.
One team was led by Huo Yuhao, representing the Tang Sect, with the Shrek Seven Monsters as their teammates.
The other team was even more interesting. Wang Qiu'er was the captain, representing Shrek Academy in the competition. The team members were Ning Tian, Wu Feng, Zhu Lu, and Dai Huabin.
Do these names sound familiar? That's right, after participating in the competition, they were tricked by the Sun Moon Empire into entering the Heaven-and-Earth Valley of Love Inquiry.
