"Lord, I can guarantee this absolutely wasn't released by me. You never told me the contents, and our goal was to target Shrek. This obviously wasn't our doing—it was clearly someone else's."
Gu Yuena agreed with what her subordinate said. After all, Morax had never released such content either. Their goal was to target Shrek, not those nobles.
"Then there's a strong possibility that Shrek did it. They may have released this information to divert attention. Honestly, these sources have no reliable basis whatsoever. Shrek may have done it precisely to shift the focus elsewhere."
After hearing Gu Yuena say this, the Ten Thousand Demon King found it fairly convincing as well.
"Then what should we do now?"
"Rest for now. You need a break too. I'll come find you once I come up with a new idea."
"Yes."
After saying that, the Ten Thousand Demon King left.
"Lord, Morax has already voiced his suspicions in the Diary. He came up with the content himself, yet someone released it first. He seriously suspects you now. How are we supposed to fob Morax off? If the matter of the Diary gets exposed, I might not even receive any more rewards."
The Auspicious Beast had no choice but to care about the Diary's rewards. If Morax learned that they could read the Diary, whether those rewards would disappear was another question entirely.
After all, the Diary's rewards were incredibly tempting.

Forget it. There was no point thinking so much about it.
Wang Dong'er had received a reward that restored her soul, so the Diary's rewards had to be extraordinary. Failing to obtain them would be a loss.
"I know... Wait, the Diary has updated!"
