Douluo Continent: I'm writing a diary, and something's not right with you guys.

Starry Sky Forest, at the bottom of the Lake of Life

As Gu Yuena looked at the last resounding words in her mind, "Xiao Xiao, I'll protect her," a barely perceptible hint of emotion flashed in her silver eyes.

"Lin Ye is a man of great loyalty and affection."

Gu Yuena said softly, her tone carrying a hint of approval and teasing: "A first-level godhood, even a god-kingship, given away so easily, I'm a little envious."

The three-eyed golden lion lying at her feet nodded vigorously.

"Yes, yes! Brother Lin Ye is so kind!"

The three-eyed golden lion's eyes sparkled with envy: "Xiao Xiao is so lucky to be remembered so fondly by Brother Lin Ye."

After that, she can become a god, live for a very, very long time, and avoid her original tragic fate.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's tone was full of envy. Xiao Xiao had Lin Ye's love, but what about her?

However, she looked up at Gu Yuena and cheered herself up. She not only had Brother Lin Ye, but she also had her master!

In the Shrek Academy freshman dormitory, Xiao Xiao was completely frozen on the bed.

The plush toy she was holding fell to the ground with a "thud," but she was completely unaware of it, staring blankly at the words in her mind, her brain a complete blank.

God... divine position?

Or is he a first-level god, or even a god-king?

Xiao Xiao pinched her arm hard, and the clear pain told her that she was not dreaming.

Lin Ye... Lin Ye actually said that he would give her a divine position in the future?

She never imagined that one day she would be associated with the word "god".

In her mind, God was an unattainable being, a legendary figure.

Let alone a god-king, even an ordinary god is something she would never dare to dream of in her entire life.

But Lin Ye said it so casually, as if giving her a divine position was as simple as giving her a piece of candy.

Xiao Xiao's nose tingled, and her eyes instantly reddened.

A male classmate who had only known her for a few days decided to protect her for life and give her a divine position that countless people dream of, just because he saw a choice she would make in the future.

"Lin Ye..."

Xiao Xiao murmured the name softly, feeling a warmth in her heart, as if it were filled with something.

Shrek Academy's inner courtyard.

Ma Xiaotao was leaning against the window, looking at the scenery in the distance.

When she saw Lin Ye's promise, she couldn't help but smile, her eyes filled with relief.

"That's great, Xiao Xiao is finally going to find a good home."

Ma Xiaotao said softly, "She is so kind and lovely, she deserves the best."

As she laughed, a barely perceptible hint of envy flashed in her eyes.

Who wouldn't want to become a god?

Who wouldn't want a long life, free from the burdens of birth, aging, sickness, and death, and without the pain of separation from loved ones?

She wanted to too.

But she knew that with her talent, reaching the level of Super Douluo in this lifetime would be the limit, and becoming a god was simply a pipe dream.

Despite her envy, she was genuinely happy for Xiao Xiao.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Girls' Dormitory.

When Ju Zi recalled Lin Ye's promise, the cup in her hand paused slightly.

"First-level godhood... God-Kinghood..."

Orange repeated those words in a low voice, a strong longing flashing in her eyes.

She knew better than anyone what a divine position meant.

It signifies supreme power, eternal life, and the ability to control one's own destiny, freeing oneself from being manipulated by anyone.

If she could attain a divine position, then all her ideals and ambitions would no longer be mere fantasies.

She could easily unify the Douluo Continent, make the Sun Moon Empire the overlord of the entire continent, and make all those who looked down on her grovel at her feet.

"Lin Ye..."

Orange's eyes deepened: "Just what kind of person are you?"

A thought suddenly popped into her mind: If... if Lin Ye could care about her as much as he cares about Xiao Xiao, how wonderful that would be?

The far north.

Hyotei curled his lip, his tone clearly sour.

"Hmph, this brat is really generous."

Hyotei said irritably, "He just gave me a first-level godhood like that. I should have gotten to know him sooner; maybe I could have become a god myself someday."

Xue Di, sitting next to her, couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"You shouldn't be envious."

Xue Di said, "Xiao Xiao is indeed worthy. Not everyone can make such a choice at such a critical moment of life and death."

“I know she deserves it.”

Hyotei snorted: "Can't I just be envious? Who doesn't want to become a god? Besides, since Lin Ye can give one to Xiao Xiao, he can definitely give one to us in the future. After all, we read his diary every day, so we're practically old acquaintances."

Chapter 144: A Happy Ending?

After Xiao Xiao finished her test, she naturally moved on to He Caitou's side.

In the same pattern, a golden light descended from the sky, enveloping He Caitou.

Tang San stood outside the golden light, his face expressionless, and asked the same question as before.

It's simply a matter of choosing between yourself and Xiao Xiao if you could only live.

However, He Caitou's answer stunned Xiao Xiao, who was watching all of this.

Because He Caitou spoke almost without hesitation, saying, "I will make myself live."

"what?!"

The three-eyed golden lion suddenly jumped up from the ground, looking incredulous.

How could he say that?!

The three-eyed golden lion said angrily, its little paws clenched tightly: "Sister Xiao Xiao was willing to die for him, but he actually chose to live on! That's too much! That's too selfish!"

Gu Yuena shook her head gently, her eyes becoming somewhat complicated.

"Human nature is indeed the most vulnerable thing to test."

Gu Yuena said softly, "When faced with life and death, most people think of themselves first."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao shed tears of sorrow.

She stood there, watching He Caitou's retreating figure, feeling as if something had stabbed her heart, causing her intense pain.

She was so brave and determined to sacrifice herself for him.

But he chose to live on without hesitation.

However, He Caitou quickly offered an explanation.

He said it wasn't that he didn't love Xiao Xiao, but that he still had a grudge to settle.

He was originally the eldest son of the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire, whose real name was Xu He. Later, his entire family was executed by Xu Tianran, and he was the only one who escaped.

He carries the deep-seated hatred of his entire family; he cannot die.

If he dies, then the Xu family's revenge will never be achieved.

He said that if there were an afterlife, he would want to be Xiao Xiao's pet, staying by her side forever, never going anywhere else.

Shrek Academy, Freshman Plaza.

On the recliner, Wang Dong'er sneered, her eyes full of disdain.

"Ha, what a perfectly respectable reason."

Wang Dong'er said coldly, "A blood feud? Is he the only one with hatred? Who in this world doesn't have their own difficulties and obsessions? Using this as an excuse to abandon the person you love is too irresponsible."

Shrek Academy, Inner Court Office.

"Actually, you can't entirely blame him."

Zhang Lexuan sighed softly and said in a low voice, "Bearing the hatred of the massacre of one's family is indeed a very heavy thing."

If it were someone else, they might have made the same choice.

But... what he did was so unfair to Xiao Xiao.

To this I can only say that although the reasons are quite valid, they are enough to show that He Caitou is not a very good person at heart.
