Actually, Ao Yao missed one more thing, and that was the person.
Wang Donger was stunningly beautiful with a graceful figure; aside from the two mounds on her chest still developing, there were basically no flaws to find. But the problem was that Wang Donger definitely had a Restriction set by Tang San on her—as a part of Tang Wutong, she had entered the boys' dormitory dressed as a man to live under the same roof as Huo Yuhao; it was impossible for Tang San not to have some restrictive measures.
Therefore, Wang Donger was currently in a state where she could be looked at but not touched, to be observed from afar but not trifled with.
So, Wang Donger couldn't even offer herself.
Then the question arose: since Wang Donger couldn't give him anything, why should he help her?
He couldn't just help Wang Donger unconditionally just to spite Tang San, could he?
Spiting Tang San was fine. But helping Wang Donger unconditionally? No way!
I want to spite Tang San, but that doesn't mean I have to help you unconditionally. The inequality just settles it instantly, right?
"I can... I can be your girlfriend."
Wang Donger seemed to have gone through a great internal struggle before she whispered these words in a voice as quiet as a mosquito's buzz.
Ao Yao heard her, but he still pretended not to and asked again.
A flush appeared on Wang Donger's face. Somewhat annoyed, she raised her voice and repeated herself as if giving up on everything:
"I said, I can be your girlfriend!"
After saying it out loud, Wang Donger breathed a sigh of relief. She suddenly felt that this... didn't seem like such a big deal.
At least Ao Yao was very handsome, and... by becoming Ao Yao's girlfriend, she might be able to receive rewards from the diary book every day.
Thinking of this, Wang Donger's heart felt less resistant, and a hint of expectation flickered in her eyes.
But Ao Yao's expression instantly turned strange.
"Forget it. I don't have the fortune to enjoy such a good thing." Seeing Wang Donger's confused face, Ao Yao explained patiently, "There's something I forgot to mention in the diary. You have a Restriction left by Tang San on you, so... neither I nor Huo Yuhao can get close to you."
"Exchanging the generous rewards of the diary book for a girlfriend I can't touch... that's not a good deal."
A deal?
He considered this a deal?
Wang Donger's pink lips quivered twice as she focused on the Restriction Ao Yao mentioned.
"The Restriction you mentioned... what do you mean?"
"Exactly what it sounds like. You are the body of Tang San's daughter, Tang Wutong, and you're staying in the same dorm as Huo Yuhao. To protect his daughter, Tang San placed a Restriction on you. Once there's any intimate behavior, this Restriction will be triggered, directly blasting the person away while their Soul also suffers a shock."
To put it simply, Tang San had put a chastity lock on his daughter, Tang Wutong.
The password to the chastity lock was in Tang San's hands. Only when Huo Yuhao reached the Divine Rank and gained Tang San's approval could he be intimate with Tang Wutong.
In Ao Yao's view, this was also a kind of dog-training strategy, and a pretty Heaven-Defying one at that.
"So, even if you become my girlfriend, the interaction between us would be limited to holding hands and light hugs."
Ao Yao leaned back against the wall, completely disregarding how much of a shock his words were to Wang Donger.
"Additionally, I can give you a piece of information for free. You don't have twin spirits at all; strictly speaking, you have triple spirits. The reason you can't sense your third Spirit is because it's a wisp of Tang San's Divine Sense, which is currently under a Seal."
"Tang San's Divine Sense is also the source of the Restriction on you."
Wang Donger stood there dazed, as if processing Ao Yao's words, but in reality, her eyes were already brimming with tears.
Wang Donger forced herself not to let the tears fall. She wiped them away forcefully, and the expression on her face became even more urgent.
Her third Spirit was Tang San's Divine Sense... in other words, her every move was actually exposed to Tang San's supervision. This meant she would always be shrouded in Tang San's shadow!
After a moment of silence, Wang Donger suddenly snapped out of it. She hurried to Ao Yao, lowered her head, and looked at him very sincerely:
"Please... help me, no matter what you want me to do."
"Tsk... becoming Tang Wutong isn't all bad. Regardless, you are Tang San's daughter. That guy Tang San might be a bit of a scumbag, but he probably wouldn't actually do anything to you. Besides, you can inherit the Butterfly God's God Position..."
Halfway through, Ao Yao saw Wang Donger's eyes brimming with tears again.
Ao Yao fell silent.
Seeing such a beautiful face on the verge of tears before him, a sense of pity really did rise in Ao Yao's heart.
Fine, he admitted it, he was shallow.
He was actually a bit tempted by Wang Donger's looks.
"I can promise you that your name will appear more often in the diary book. However... the frequency is up to me. If you perform well, I can make your name appear a few more times. As for whether you can get the rewards you want, that depends on your own fate."
Ao Yao's heart softened after all.
Mainly because there was no other way but to soften.
If Wang Donger didn't have the Restriction left by Tang San, he would have definitely said something like, 'Young Miss Wang Donger, you wouldn't want your rebellious acts to be discovered by Tang San, would you? You wouldn't want to become that stitched-together monster Tang Wutong, would you?'
Unfortunately, Wang Donger had that Restriction.
As for refusing Wang Donger's request...
Like I said, I'm shallow; I'm tempted by her looks!
Speaking of which, the diary book's rewards range from High Martial Arts to Battle Through the Heavens, so they're quite flexible. Could the next reward be something to remove the Restriction on Wang Donger?
I'm in a hurry, thanks.
"What do I... need to do?"
Ao Yao glanced at the pleasantly surprised Wang Donger and thought for a moment. "From now on, when you come back to the dorm after class, stay in this appearance. I'm really not comfortable seeing you in men's clothes."
"Good."
Wang Donger agreed very decisively, without any hesitation.
It was just staying in women's clothes in front of Ao Yao; she was more comfortable in her female form anyway.
Entering Shrek Academy dressed as a man hadn't been her idea in the first place.
"Besides that... I'm missing a housekeeper, someone to take care of my daily life. You don't have a problem with that, do you?"
Ao Yao suddenly thought of a wicked idea and looked at Wang Donger with a half-smile.
This expression made Wang Donger's heart race, but things had come to this, so she could only brace herself and ask, "Take care of your daily life? What does that mean?"
"For example, helping me wash my clothes, my school uniform, getting me water to wash my feet, and so on. Oh, right, when I say washing clothes, that includes underwear and socks."
Hearing this, Wang Donger was instantly stunned.
