His identity exposed!

Ning Rongrong naturally knew nothing about any of this.

Xiao Wu did not understand it either.

Although Soul Beasts had inherited memories, those memories contained nothing about what happened after becoming a god.

Ignorance bred fearlessness!

Ning Rongrong looked at Link, blinked, and said, "So what?"

"The Divine Position is mine!"

"I'm the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and I might even become His Holiness the Pope's student someday. Who would dare mess with me?"

"Little Link, I suggest you be good and call me Sister Rongrong... ah!"

The sky had cleared, the rain had stopped, and Ning Rongrong felt she had what it took again.

Unfortunately, before she could even finish her bold declaration, Link grabbed her and spanked her.

"You bastard!"

"Link!"

"Just you wait! I'll get my revenge sooner or later!"

She had actually been spanked again!

And right in front of the girl she had just befriended! That bastard had gone too far. Unforgivable!

Yet Link merely chuckled and said, "Sure, I'll be waiting!"

"But until you're stronger than me, you'd better behave. Otherwise... heh heh..."

Link raised his hand and waved it from side to side.

Ning Rongrong hastily backed away, both hands covering her little bottom where he had just spanked her, her almond-shaped eyes glaring furiously at Link.

Just then, someone knocked on Dorm Seven's door.

"May I come in?"

A gentle, pleasant voice rang out.

Tang Yuehua!

Sure enough, this woman had grown anxious.

Ning Rongrong was someone who had obtained a Divine Position.

If Bibi Dong truly won her over, not only would the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect lean toward Spirit Hall, but Spirit Hall would also gain a god in the future.

Tang Yuehua was thinking that the pavilion nearest the water caught the moon first. She could use the relationship among the Upper Three Sects to snatch Ning Rongrong up first.

"It's Sister Yue!"

Xiao Wu recognized Tang Yuehua's voice too.

Tang Yuehua had come to Nuoding City and failed to find Tang Hao, but she had discovered Tang San.

By observing Tang San, she had confirmed his identity and had even taken the initiative to acknowledge their kinship.

Given Tang San's relationship with Tang Yuehua, Xiao Wu should have called Tang Yuehua "Aunt," but Xiao Wu now had no feelings for Tang San, so naturally, she would not follow his lead in addressing Tang Yuehua.

Besides, Tang Yuehua had maintained herself well. Although she was older, she still looked young and beautiful, so naturally, she became Sister Yue to Xiao Wu.

"Are you close to her?"

Link cast Xiao Wu a sidelong glance.

Xiao Wu nodded and said, "Sister Yue is wonderful. She's taught me lots of things. I really like her!"

"Impressive. That brain of yours still hasn't improved one bit!"

Link was truly impressed.

If he did not give Xiao Wu frequent reminders, she would most likely still be unable to escape ending up as Tang San's Soul Ring.

Only this time, Xiao Wu would probably be very difficult to resurrect.

Thinking of all those harsh conditions for Xiao Wu's resurrection, Link naturally also thought of Xiao Wu's Mother.

She had sacrificed herself too!

Then did Bibi Dong have Xiao Wu's Mother's Soul Beast body preserved?

He would find time to ask about that.

For now, however, the most pressing matter was dealing with Tang Yuehua.

This woman was no simple character.

That she could run the Moonlight Pavilion so successfully in Heaven Dou City spoke volumes about Tang Yuehua's abilities.

Never mind any talk of the Moonlight Pavilion being the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial etiquette school!

That was just a fancy name!

If the Moonlight Pavilion really were an Imperial Etiquette Academy that the Heaven Dou Empire valued greatly, then the conflict between Tang San and those young nobles at the Moonlight Pavilion in the original story would never have happened.

An etiquette school that failed to teach its students proper conduct was laughable.

Nobles held higher status than commoners.

But a noble who had studied etiquette ought to show at least the most basic courtesy when facing commoners.

Nobles could look down on commoners and regard them from on high, but basic breeding would make them understand that deliberately making trouble for commoners was a very ill-mannered thing to do.

Noble standing and status were not earned by picking fights with commoners.

Yet in the original story, when Shrek Academy first appeared at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Xue Beng, a prince, behaved like a street thug.

Later, he was whitewashed with the claim that he had done it to protect himself!

So disguising himself as a wastrel to protect himself meant he could look down on others and bully the weak?

All one could say was that this whitewashing was truly forced!

A wastrel whose bad reputation had spread throughout the Heaven Dou Empire suddenly transformed into its emperor, and the people under him actually supported him wholeheartedly.

Anyone seeking to contend for the throne understood that one could tarnish one's reputation to conceal one's abilities, but how one did so required considerable care.

One could be greedy for money!

One could be lustful!

One could idle away one's days!

One could fight roosters and walk dogs!

But the one thing one could not do was let one's bad reputation become known even to ordinary people and earn their disgust.

Throughout history, however many princes, nobles, generals, and ministers had tarnished their own reputations, they would never let it damage their prestige among the lower classes.

But Xue Beng had paid no heed to any of that.

In the end, who would believe the claim that he had merely been tarnishing his own reputation?

"Sister Yue, please come in!"

Xiao Wu paid no mind at all to Link's jab. She eagerly opened the door and invited Tang Yuehua inside.

"Rongrong, this is Sister Yue. She's Xiao San's aunt!"

"But she's different from Xiao San!"

Xiao Wu chattered away.

Ning Rongrong, meanwhile, looked at Tang Yuehua with an appraising gaze.

She truly did not know Tang Yuehua.

Famous as the Moonlight Pavilion was, Ning Rongrong had never really paid it any attention.

After all, this so-called imperial etiquette school had actually been established more as a way for the Heaven Dou Empire to maintain contact with the Clear Sky Sect and give Tang Yuehua an official standing.

Before the Clear Sky Sect withdrew into seclusion, there had been no Moonlight Pavilion in Heaven Dou City.

After all, this was a world where Soul Masters reigned supreme.

Tang Yuehua's Martial Soul Mutation had given her an Innate Domain, but her Soul Power was stuck at level nine. Unable to reach level ten, she could not absorb a Soul Ring and therefore could not become a Soul Master.

With such a standing, if she had not had the Clear Sky Sect behind her, her looks and the unique nature of her Martial Soul might well have led some faction to abduct her long ago and turn her into a breeding machine.

"We meet again!"

After a brief conversation with Ning Rongrong, Tang Yuehua turned to Link.

Clever as she was, she had now guessed Link's identity.

His Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass!

Before she entered the Chat Group, the only somewhat unusual thing that had happened was meeting Link.

Now Ning Rongrong had entered the Chat Group too!

Thus, confirming Link's identity was not difficult.

"Group Leader!"

Although Link knew he could not keep this identity hidden for long, having each of these women turn out to be so clever still left him feeling the pressure of a mountain.

When it came to brains, he might really be no match for them!

So the fact that all these women had acted brainless in the original story had merely been what the plot demanded. Their intelligence had been forcibly lowered.

Oh, right, except for Liu Erlong, that female tyrannosaurus with terminal love cancer!

"You're the Group Leader?!"

The moment Tang Yuehua exposed Link's identity, Liu Erlong's shocked voice rang out from outside Dorm Seven.

The next instant, she rushed into Dorm Seven.

"..."

Looking at Liu Erlong, who had arrived uninvited, Link clenched his fists.
