Long Pain Is Worse Than Short Pain; Short Pain Is Worse Than Acceptance

In the Chat Group, Qian Renxue and the others were chatting.

Hu Liena said, "Does Tang Hao know that something is wrong with Tang San? Otherwise, with the way he raised children, a normal baby would have died long ago, right?"

All sorts of slop had been poured into Tang San's mouth.

The fact that he had survived was truly thanks to his tough life.

Qian Renxue said, "I think Tang Hao probably knew. His attitude changed after he learned that Tang San had Twin Martial Souls."

Ling Yuan said, "So Tang Hao was this scheming?"

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong did not understand, but they were deeply shocked.

Both of them came from excellent families. When had they ever eaten the sort of food Tang San ate?

It had truly opened their eyes.

When Bibi Dong had left earlier, they had already seen the moment Tang Hao changed his attitude.

They were just complaining about it in the group.

Luo Xuan smiled at their reactions. This was nothing yet.

However, the protagonist of the Future Video he had fabricated was not Tang San, but himself—and the punishment of this group of love-struck fools.

In the video:

Tang San had already arrived to register at Shrek Academy. Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were nearby as well. Soon afterward, Shrek Academy's Shrek Seven Monsters appeared before them.

Ning Rongrong was isolated and suppressed, while Oscar did not help her. Zhu Zhuqing heard Dai Mubai's supposedly astonishing words: "Women don't count as people. They're only resources."

The scene changed. Ning Rongrong was actually together with Oscar, while Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai had become a couple as well.

Ning Rongrong said, "Impossible! I would never be with someone like him! It must be fake!"

Setting aside the rules of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Oscar had already been sentenced to death in her eyes when he had failed to help her while she was being isolated.

The current Ning Rongrong did not think she would ever fall for someone like him.

Zhu Zhuqing said, "That bastard abandoned me. How could I ever give myself to him again? He doesn't deserve to be my fiancé."

The young girl wiped away her tears. What was the point of keeping a fiancé who had abandoned her?

She would rather die than be with him.

Qian Renxue said, "You two really are love-struck fools. I honestly don't know what you saw in that sleazy man, or in that scum who doesn't even see women as people."

Hu Liena said, "Zhu Zhuqing has big breasts and no brains, so I can understand her. But Ning Rongrong isn't big and still has no brains."

Even though she was still young, Ning Rongrong understood what that meant.

She felt a great deal of hostility.

The two of them seemed to have forgotten that they were love-struck fools too.

Ning Rongrong did not indulge them and immediately refuted them in the group.

Ning Rongrong said, "Luo Xuan also said that Spirit Hall has three love-struck fools. You're no better than us!"

Now that she knew such things would happen in the future, she would never become a love-struck fool.

A mere Oscar was not worth Ning Rongrong's interest.

Zhu Zhuqing, meanwhile, planned to wait and see whether Dai Mubai would truly run away.

If Dai Mubai really did run away, then it would prove that everything in the Future Video was true.

Then she would never wrong herself by staying with him.

Qian Renxue and Hu Liena fell silent.

They had gotten carried away and forgotten that they themselves were prime examples of love-struck fools.

After Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had been punished, it was Hu Liena and Qian Renxue's turn.

In the video:

The scene changed, and Luo Xuan appeared again. He stood up and stretched his body. "The Nine Yang Manual has been developed more or less. The Nine Yin Manual still won't work; I need a woman to cooperate with me. Forget it. I'll go obtain my second Soul Ring first."

After saying that, he left the courtyard to look for Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan. Unexpectedly, he ran into Hu Liena on the way.

As usual, Hu Liena approached him, wanting to build a good relationship with Luo Xuan.

This time, Luo Xuan unusually did not reject Hu Liena. Instead, he accepted her attention.

Qian Renxue said, "How embarrassing. Is this all that woman's disciple amounts to?"

Hu Liena said, "Eh? Why did Luo Xuan accept? Was he moved by me?"

She was a little excited. It seemed Yan's method was quite good after all.

Seeing this, Luo Xuan curled his lip.

Of course. Bibi Dong had already been pulled into the group. What was there to fear about doing something with Hu Liena?

Before, he had needed to develop quietly and avoid attracting Bibi Dong's attention.

But now there was no need for that at all. Naturally, he would accept Hu Liena's goodwill.

Bibi Dong did not want to watch Hu Liena fall into a den of evil and ordered her not to approach Luo Xuan.

Hu Liena said, "Teacher, I don't want to become an ungrateful traitor. I want to fall in love with Luo Xuan. That way, I won't do anything harmful to you or Spirit Hall."

Bibi Dong was stunned. She had not expected her disciple to have such high awareness.

She felt a wave of comfort in her heart.

But Hu Liena did not merely want to avoid becoming an ungrateful traitor.

Her heart had genuinely begun to stir.

After all, she had always been someone who cared about looks, and Luo Xuan's strength when he defeated Yan had deeply attracted her.

Besides, the group she had joined was originally meant for Luo Xuan's future women.

So she was not resistant to it in the slightest.

However, no one knew what she truly thought.

In the video:

After Luo Xuan came to Hu Liena's side, the scene changed. Hu Liena was defeated in the Elite Tournament, entered Slaughter City, and met Tang San, who was using the alias Tang Yin. She was drawn to him.

After leaving Slaughter City, Hu Liena even sabotaged Bibi Dong's plan to hunt a soul beast for his sake.

After watching this part, Bibi Dong was so furious that she seemed to grow two sizes larger.

Good, very good.

The title of love-struck, ungrateful traitor truly suited her perfectly.

Bibi Dong had raised Hu Liena all these years, and what had she gotten in return?

For the sake of a man, Hu Liena opposed her at every turn!

Bibi Dong said, "Nana... you truly are such a good disciple of mine."

Hu Liena said, "Teacher... that was something that happened in the future. I didn't know! The one I like now is Luo Xuan. Those things in the future won't happen again!"

Luo Xuan really had not wronged her. Her scalp went numb as she watched.

She desperately wanted to rush into the video and beat her other self to death.

Fortunately, since it had not happened yet, it could still be changed.

Normally, Qian Renxue would have jumped out to mock her by now.

But when she remembered that she also bore the title of love-struck fool, she became listless.

That way, whatever she said later would not become a boomerang that struck herself.

Bibi Dong said, "Forget it. If you want to get close to Luo Xuan, then do so."

She would not interfere anymore. Compared with Tang San, Luo Xuan was better by far.

Although... things might become a little awkward in the future.

That was a matter for the future. For now, things could develop this way.

"What a bargain for that lecherous brat."

Since he had taken one of her disciples, Luo Xuan could compensate her with himself!

In the video:

Luo Xuan no longer thought about Hu Liena developing normally. With him around, the future Hu Liena would be his little fox.

He reached out and pinched her cheek, overstepping his station because he was not yet as tall as Hu Liena.

Speaking of Hu Liena made him think of another woman from Spirit Hall—Qian Renxue.

However, no image appeared this time. Instead, Luo Xuan's inner thoughts appeared.

"If Bibi Dong is still somewhat understandable, then Qian Renxue is truly a first-rate idiot. She actually wanted to recruit the son of her father's killer. It's hilarious. Does this fool think they're playing house?"

Seeing this, Qian Renxue's face darkened.

She considered herself very intelligent. How could she possibly do something so stupid?

This was simply Luo Xuan slandering her.

Like Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue had countless chances to deal with Tang San.

Yet she had not used a single one.

Qian Renxue said, "What kind of joke is this? I strongly suspect Luo Xuan is prejudiced against us."

Bibi Dong said, "It isn't prejudice. You already admitted that the things this transmigrator knows are real, didn't you? What, now that it concerns you, you refuse to admit it?"

At those words, Qian Renxue stopped pretending.

Qian Renxue said, "You have the nerve to talk about me? You're one of the three love-struck fools too! My dear sister, what kind of surprise are you going to give me?"

They were hurting each other, and Bibi Dong did not want any part of it. She immediately left the group and put on a pitiful expression as she asked Luo Xuan.

"You won't expose my past, will you?"

Unease and anxiety filled her heart. How many years had it been since she had experienced such feelings?

How many years had it been since she had begged anyone—especially a little brat who had only just awakened his Martial Soul?

Luo Xuan smiled faintly. "Don't worry. Long pain is worse than short pain. Since they're all women, you should be able to learn from them whether Yu Xiaogang truly loves you."

Bibi Dong wanted nothing more than to leave a fist mark on that hateful face.

Unfortunately, she could only bully Luo Xuan at most. If she actually harmed him, she would be punished.

Luo Xuan clearly knew that if he wanted Bibi Dong to break free from her past—

taking things slowly would not be enough. Only a strong dose of medicine could work.
