Emperor Auspicious Beast: Baby Feels Wronged!

The Diary Copy's reward could actually perform Martial Soul Reforging.

Reverse a Martial Soul's mutation and pull a Martial Soul whose essence had already been completely changed back to its original state?

Whether a Deity could do it was another matter, but even a Level 99 Ultimate Douluo standing at the very peak definitely could not.

Once again, she revised her understanding of Lin Ye and this Diary.

But that shock lasted only a few seconds before it was completely washed away by overwhelming speechlessness and grievance.

Restore it to its original state?

Wouldn't that mean restoring it into the most ordinary, most useless Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul?!

Tang Ya stood where she was, so angry that her chest heaved. Her nose stung, and her eyes instantly reddened.

Lin Ye had criticized her for half the day in his Diary today, practically describing her as a worthless, hardheaded, brainless fool. She had finally become the person mentioned most in today's Diary, and this was the reward she got?

Raising her Soul Power by one level was one thing. It was better than nothing.

But this Martial Soul Reforging opportunity was actually meant to restore her Dark Blue Silver Grass, which was at least somewhat useful now, into ordinary Blue Silver Grass that even Soul Masters could not be bothered to glance at?

What use was ordinary Blue Silver Grass?!

According to Lin Ye, aside from Tang San, whose Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was practically hacked, who else on the entire Douluo Continent could forge a path with ordinary Blue Silver Grass?!

Besides, Tang San's ancestor was not ordinary Blue Silver Grass either. That was the top-tier Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul!

The more she thought about it, the more wronged and furious she felt. Releasing Huo Yuhao's hand, she strode to the side and viciously kicked a fist-sized stone on the ground.

The stone shot more than ten meters away with a sharp gust of wind, smashing into a tree trunk and instantly shattering into several pieces.

Tang Ya bit her lip, forcefully holding back her tears. She stood there fuming, her chest heaving violently, so aggrieved that she was on the verge of tears.

Shrek City, within a luxurious estate.

By the pool in the center of the courtyard, Wang Dong'er, who had returned ahead of him, leaned against the white jade railing. Her gaze lazily followed the fish darting about in the water, and her entire bearing seemed to say, "I've been waiting here for ages."

The instant the courtyard gate opened, she almost immediately adjusted her expression. Looking up at Lin Ye as he entered, she patted nonexistent dust from her skirt, deliberately sized him up and down, and raised a brow. "Where did you go? You were nowhere to be seen all afternoon."

Lin Ye did not hide anything and casually replied, "I found a cultivation room and raised my strength a little."

Wang Dong'er immediately snorted inwardly.

Keep making things up. Let's see how long you can keep it up.

Still, despite her inward grumbling, she knew that Lin Ye had never intended to conceal his talent completely.

He had not even deliberately restrained the fluctuations of his Soul Power. Although her cultivation was not enough to discern his exact level, any high-level Soul Master could see through him at a glance.

It made sense. To hide an even greater secret, deliberately revealing a few insignificant secrets as smoke screens was indeed a prudent method.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go inside to cultivate first."

Lin Ye did not notice the twists and turns in her thoughts. After greeting her, he turned and returned to his room. The door closed softly behind him, cutting off the view between inside and out.

Wang Dong'er looked at the tightly shut door, and the relaxed, indifferent expression on her face instantly collapsed. Frowning, she crouched beside the pool again and absentmindedly poked the water with a finger, stirring up the reflections across its surface.

Right now, only one matter circled in her mind: what excuse could she find to reasonably explain why she needed to disguise herself as a boy?

The whole thing was absurd. She knew Lin Ye knew she was a girl, and Lin Ye knew she knew that he was aware of it.

Yet the two of them tacitly pretended to be clueless. Lin Ye pretended to know nothing, and she had to pretend that Lin Ye knew nothing too.

That made a reasonable explanation an absolute necessity.

Otherwise, what normal person would understand it? A girl refusing to be a girl and insisting on disguising herself as a boy, not for a momentary whim or amusement but to actually move into the boys' dormitory—it simply made no sense. No matter how one thought about it, it seemed bizarre.

Just as she was so worried her head was about to explode, that familiar sensation suddenly came from her mind. The Diary had updated at this moment.

Wang Dong'er's eyes lit up. She instantly tossed aside her worries and immediately sank her consciousness into the Diary Copy in her mind.

But when she clearly saw its contents, she froze on the spot. What Lin Ye had written in the Diary was precisely the matter that had just left her tearing at her hair.

[Things went smoothly, and I'm quite happy. Next, it's time to head to Shrek Academy.

I'm a specially recruited student of the Clear Sky Sect, so I don't need any tests or assessments. But Wang Dong'er is a bit troublesome.

I know she's a girl, but if she disguises herself as a boy and moves into the boys' dormitory, how can I accept it in a way that seems reasonable?

I absolutely cannot act too calm, or anyone could tell there was a problem.

A girl disguising herself as a boy for a bit of fun or out of curiosity would be one thing, but disguising herself as a boy for a long time and even living in the boys' dormitory—what is anyone supposed to think?

What am I, someone who doesn't know, supposed to think?

I must show enough shock and enough confusion. I just wonder how Wang Dong'er plans to explain it to me.]

Seeing those words strike directly at her worries, Wang Dong'er could not help nodding along, her face full of sympathy.

Exactly. How was she supposed to explain it? She had racked her brain and still could not come up with a way to explain it perfectly. She could only hope Lin Ye might write something in this Diary that gave her a clue.

Thinking about it, it was rather funny. Stupid people had the advantages of being stupid, while smart people had the disadvantages of being smart.

Lin Ye happened to be the kind of exceptionally smart person who was especially good at imagining things for himself.

Just like what he had written in the Diary before: according to the original plot, Tang Ya and Bei Bei should have met Huo Yuhao first, and only afterward would Huo Yuhao run into the Wind Baboon and encounter Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

But she had been there a few hours ago. She had personally watched Huo Yuhao fail to encounter Tang Ya and Bei Bei at all, instead running directly into the Wind Baboon. Only after Sky Dream Ice Silkworm latched onto him did Tang Ya arrive late with the others.

The plot had already gone wildly off course. Anyone else might have panicked long ago and started wondering what had gone wrong.

But Lin Ye simply used the light phrase "Butterfly Effect" to explain away every inconsistency without suspecting anything else.

Shrek Inner Court.

A playful smile curled Ma Xiaotao's lips. She could clearly see the Diary's synchronously updated contents, and merely imagining Wang Dong'er desperately scratching her head for an excuse amused her greatly.

She had long guessed that Wang Dong'er definitely possessed a copy of this Diary too.

Now this was interesting. The two of them held the same secret, yet both pretended to know nothing in front of the other, competing to see who could act better.

She wanted to see which of them would crack first and whose act would last until the end. It would definitely be entertaining.

The Diary continued updating.

[I've thought of a terrifying possibility. Could it be that when the time comes, I'll accept Wang Dong'er's disguise as naturally as Huo Yuhao did?

Tang Buddha's hand shouldn't be able to reach me, right?

Although I trust the Diary System's protection, this entry will serve as evidence just in case.

When I look back on it in a few days, if my memories have really been altered, I can at least leave myself an anchor.]

Star Dou Forest, beneath Lake of Life.

Gu Yuena's half-lidded beautiful eyes snapped open. After reading the Diary's contents, a profound gravity flashed through her pupils.

The Diary's words struck her heart like a heavy stone.

Could Tang San truly do something to that extent? Could he silently alter even memories, even make people grow accustomed to absurd things?

If even Lin Ye, protected by the Diary System, could possibly be tampered with by him, then how could the Emperor Auspicious Beast, whom she had promised to protect, be absolutely safe?

After all, the little one's immense fortune was something that Tang God King had long set his sights on.

If such a day truly came, and the little one's memories were altered without even her noticing, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Gu Yuena's fingertips moved slightly. The powers of countless elements—water, fire, wind, earth, and more—silently flowed in her palm, sketching intricate and mysterious runes.

No, she had to add another layer of protection for the little one. She absolutely could not let her leave her sight so casually again.

At that very moment, light footsteps came from nearby. The Emperor Auspicious Beast skipped inside, the golden fur covering her body glowing softly with excitement.

This outing had finally let her see everything she had been curious about for so long.

That human boy named Huo Yuhao, the future protagonist, Lin Ye, the owner of the Diary, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and even the remnant soul of a Deity.

She felt that in all her tens of thousands of years alive, she had never experienced a day as thrilling and exciting as today.

But the moment she ran in, she keenly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

There was no extra expression on Gu Yuena's face. The aura around her remained gentle, yet it carried an unquestionable seriousness.

The Emperor Auspicious Beast immediately stopped. Her earlier excitement vanished in an instant, and she timidly edged over to Gu Yuena's side before cautiously crouching down.

She curled herself into a round, fluffy golden ball and gazed timidly at Gu Yuena with a pair of watery, sparkling eyes. She was so adorable that she could melt anyone's heart.

But Gu Yuena was not moved by her devastatingly cute appearance.

She raised a hand, and countless water, fire, wind, earth, and other elemental powers instantly converged around them. In the blink of an eye, they condensed into a massive, gleaming white elemental cage.

With another gentle lift of her hand, a soft yet irresistible force sent the Emperor Auspicious Beast into the cage. The cage door clicked shut, locking tightly.

The Emperor Auspicious Beast was completely dumbfounded. Her round eyes widened enormously, and she did not react for a long while.
