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

Wang Dong'er immediately snorted coldly in her heart.

Keep making things up, I want to see how long you can keep going.

Despite her inner grumbling, she knew in her heart that Lin Ye had no intention of hiding his talent completely.

He didn't even bother to conceal his soul power fluctuations. Although she couldn't discern his exact level with her cultivation level, any high-level soul master could see through his true nature at a glance.

It makes sense. In order to cover up a bigger secret, deliberately releasing some insignificant secrets as a smokescreen is indeed a prudent method.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go inside and start cultivating."

Lin Ye was unaware of her inner thoughts. He greeted her and turned to go back to his room, gently closing the door to block the view from inside and outside.

Looking at the closed door, Wang Dong'er's relaxed and indifferent expression instantly crumbled. She frowned and squatted back by the pool, unconsciously poking the water's surface with her finger, disturbing the reflections in the water.

She was preoccupied with one question: what reason could she give Lin Ye to reasonably explain that she was dressing up as a man?

This is ridiculous. She knew Lin Ye knew she was a girl, and Lin Ye also knew she knew he was aware of this.

But both of them tacitly pretended to be oblivious. Lin Ye pretended to know nothing, and she had to pretend that Lin Ye knew nothing either.

In this way, a reasonable explanation becomes a necessity.

Otherwise, if you were a normal person, why would a girl dress up as a boy instead of doing something perfectly fine? It's not just a whim or a joke; it's a real decision to live in a boys' dormitory. It just doesn't make sense. It's just bizarre no matter how you look at it.

Just when she was at her wit's end, that familiar feeling suddenly came to her mind, and her diary was updated.

Wang Dong'er's eyes lit up, and she instantly forgot about her worries, her mind immediately sinking into the copy of the diary in her mind.

When she saw the contents of the diary, she froze on the spot, because what Lin Ye had written in his diary was exactly the very thing that had been troubling her so much.

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

I am a specially recruited student of the Haotian Sect, so I don't need any tests or assessments. But the key issue is that Wang Dong'er is a bit of a problem.

I know she's a girl, but she wants to dress up as a boy and move into the boys' dormitory. How can I make it seem reasonable for me to accept this?

I absolutely cannot appear indifferent, otherwise anyone will be able to tell that something is wrong.

It's one thing for a girl to dress up as a boy for a moment of fun or out of curiosity, but what do people think about a girl dressing up as a boy for a long time and living in a boys' dormitory?

How am I supposed to think this, as someone who doesn't know the truth?

I had to appear sufficiently shocked and confused, but I had no idea how Wang Dong'er was going to explain this to me.

Looking at this text that struck a chord with her, Wang Dong'er couldn't help but nod, her face full of empathy.

Yes, how exactly is she supposed to explain this? She racked her brains but couldn't come up with a perfectly plausible explanation, and could only hope that Lin Ye's diary would provide some clues.

It's funny, really. There are advantages to being a fool, and there are disadvantages to being a clever person.

Lin Ye happens to be the kind of person who is extremely intelligent, yet also exceptionally good at filling in the blanks with his own imagination.

Just like in the diary, according to the original plot, Tang Ya and Bei Bei should have met Huo Yuhao first, and then Huo Yuhao would have encountered the Wind Baboon and met the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

But she was there just a few hours earlier and witnessed Huo Yuhao not even touch Tang Ya and Bei Bei. He went straight into the Wind Baboon and was entangled by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm before Tang Ya finally arrived with her people.

The plot has already gone way off track; anyone else might have panicked and started trying to figure out where things went wrong.

But Lin Ye, with a casual "butterfly effect," smoothed over all the inconsistencies, without questioning anything else.

Shrek Academy's inner courtyard.

Ma Xiaotao smiled knowingly. She could clearly see the diary entries updating in her mind, and just imagining Wang Dong'er scratching her head and trying to find an excuse made her very amused.

She had already guessed that Wang Dong'er must also have a copy of this diary.

This is getting interesting. The two of them are hiding the same secret, but they are both pretending to know nothing about it in front of each other, putting on a show.

She wanted to see who would break down first and whose act would last. It was going to be very interesting.

The diary is still being updated.

[I thought of a terrifying truth: what if, on that day, I, like Huo Yuhao, also accepted Wang Dong'er's disguise as a man as a matter of course?]

The Buddha's reach shouldn't extend to me.

Although I have great faith in the protection of the diary system, just in case, I'll use this diary as evidence.

If I look back in a few days and my memory has indeed been altered, then I can leave an anchor point.

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

Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes, which had been slightly closed, suddenly opened. After seeing the contents of the diary, a deep sense of solemnity flashed in her pupils.

The contents of the diary were like a heavy stone, crashing into her heart.

Can Tang San really do that? To be able to subtly alter memories and even make people take absurd things for granted?

If even Lin Ye, who is protected by the diary system, could be tampered with by him, then how can the imperial beast she promised to protect be absolutely safe?

After all, the extreme luck on that little guy was something that the Tang God King had long coveted.

If that day ever comes, and the little guy's memory is altered without her even realizing it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Gu Yuena's fingertips twitched slightly, and the power of various elements flowed silently in her palm, outlining intricate and mysterious runes.

No, we have to add another layer of protection for that little one; we absolutely cannot let her out of our sight again.

Just then, a series of light footsteps came from the side, and the Imperial Beast hopped in, its golden fur gleaming with excitement.

Today's trip allowed her to finally see all the things she had been curious about for a long time.

The human boy named Huo Yuhao, the future protagonist, the owner of the diary Lin Ye, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, and even the remnant soul of a god were seen.

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

But as soon as she ran in, she keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Gu Yuena's face showed little expression, and although her aura remained gentle, it exuded an undeniable seriousness.

The Imperial Beast immediately stopped, its previous excitement vanishing in an instant. It timidly sidled up to Gu Yuena and cautiously crouched down beside her.

It curled itself into a round, golden ball of fur, its big, bright, watery eyes looking timidly at Gu Yuena. It was so cute that it could melt anyone's heart.

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

She raised her hand, and countless elements such as water, fire, wind, and earth instantly converged, forming a huge, pure white elemental cage in the blink of an eye.

With a gentle lift of his hand, a soft yet irresistible force sent the imperial beast into the cage, and the cage door clicked shut, locking it securely.

The Imperial Beast was completely stunned, its round eyes wide open, unable to react for a long time.

Chapter 36 Wang Dong'er, puffed up with anger

What happened? She clearly got permission from the Lord to go out, so why was she locked up when she came back?

She quickly clung to the cage bars, her voice trembling with grievance and on the verge of tears, "My lord, why are you locking me up? You gave your permission to leave your side!"

She felt she had been incredibly wronged.

They agreed on everything before they left, so why did they change their minds when they came back?

The baby felt wronged, but dared not speak out loud.

The imperial beast pursed its lips, its fluffy ears drooped, and even its golden fur lost its luster.

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Gu Yuena's eyes flashed with a very faint smile, but her words remained firm and without any further explanation. She simply said, "I don't think it's safe to keep you by my side, so I'm adding an extra layer of protection for you."

After saying that, he ignored her and continued to trace elemental power in the void with his fingertips, layering it on the cage layer by layer, afraid that there might be the slightest oversight that would give Tang San an opportunity to take advantage.

The Imperial Beast pouted. Although it was still full of grievances, it dared not say anything more. It could only shrug down in the corner of the cage and curl itself into an even rounder ball of fur.

Anyway, the Lord wouldn't harm her, so let her stay locked up. It's just a pity she can't go out and play anymore.

Gu Yuena caught a glimpse of her like this out of the corner of her eye, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

It has to be said that this little guy is really cute. No wonder all the ferocious beasts in Di Tian like it so much, and even she has grown to like it a little.

However, on the other hand, I was just accompanying Wang Dong'er to study. In Wang Dong'er's eyes, I was just a small disciple, and compared to his status as the young master, I was far inferior.

What if this girl doesn't even bother to explain? It seems quite possible; judging from the original story, she's not exactly known for her good temper.

I remember Wang Dong'er in the original novel was incredibly shrewish; she was practically a little witch.

I estimate that his shrewishness is similar to that of Ning Rongrong, who had just joined Shrek Academy in Douluo Continent I; both of them have an arrogant and condescending demeanor.

However, Ning Rongrong's aloofness was directed at everyone, while Wang Dong'er's was only directed at her roommates.

Wang Dong'er, standing by the pond in the villa, blushed instantly after reading this diary entry, her pretty face turning bright red, even the tips of her ears seemed to burn.

You stinky Lin Ye! You rotten Lin Ye! How dare you make up stories about me like that!

She was screaming internally, her short temper instantly becoming uncontrollable.

She admitted that she was a little willful, after all, she had been pampered by the elders in the sect since she was a child, so it was normal for her to have a little temper.

What kind of talk is this from Ke Linye? He actually portrayed her as an arrogant and unruly little princess who looks down on everyone?

This is an insult! Wang Dong'er would rather die than admit that she was the unreasonable person Lin Ye described.

Shrek College, outside the freshman dormitory.

Xiao Xiao was sitting on the edge of the bed when she noticed that the diary in her mind had been updated. She quickly put down what she was doing and began to read the diary with full concentration.

The moment I saw the contents, I couldn't help but let out a soft "Ah!" I quickly covered my mouth, looked around at the empty dormitory, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
