Everyone in the group chat was having a great time watching the screen.
Wang Dong typed, "Su Yan, you really have so many bad ideas!"
Tang Yuehua added, "Are you eating again?"
Dark Avenger chimed in, "I am laughing so hard. Su Yan comes up with new ways to bully Tang San and Yu Xiaogang every single time."
Ma Xiaotao agreed, "Yeah, this is much better than the show yesterday."
Red Dust Dream Dream Dream wrote, "Su Yan, you are so bad, but I love it!"
Su Yan cleared his throat and looked at Meng Hongchen with a strange look. He wondered what this girl was trying to say.
Meng Hongchen's face turned red right away. She felt so embarrassed. She forgot that Su Yan was sitting right next to her. But then she realized they were all alone in the room. She thought this was her best chance.
She got excited and grabbed Su Yan's hand directly.
Xiao Xiao is the Cutest sent a message, "Eh?"
Liu Erlong asked, "Student Meng Hongchen, what are you doing?"
Bo Saixi added, "You are not even hiding it anymore?"
Everyone in the chat saw this scene through the video call.
Meng Hongchen gasped and pulled her hand back quickly. She turned her head away and covered her face in shame. She knew she messed up because she forgot the video stream was still live.
Gu Yuena 2 wrote, "Don't you think this is bad? You are using the Scarlet King, a Vicious Beast of our Spirit Beast clan, like a dog."
Gu Yuena 1 added, "+1."
Call Me Her Majesty the Empress replied, "Sister Yue, isn't the Scarlet King actually a dog type beast anyway?"
Everyone started laughing together in the chat room.
Meanwhile, over at Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang was heavily injured. His body was weak, so he failed to throw the token properly. His hand trembled, and he dropped the token halfway through the air. The right head of the Scarlet King caught it with its mouth.
The whole area became completely silent.
Dugu Yan was shocked for a second and asked, "Does it really recognize the token instead of the person?"
Lingyuan nodded her head and said, "Yes, that is how it works."
Su Yan typed in the group chat, "Gu Yuena, what do you two have to say now? Even if the Scarlet King is a dog, he is now an Honorary Elder of Spirit Hall."
Everyone in the chat replied, "666!"
Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were completely frozen. Things had gone terribly wrong. They had taken their plan too far this time.
Yu Xiaogang shouted in a panic, "You people... That Pontiff Token belongs to me! Tell that dog to give it back right now!"
Dugu Yan yelled back, "Shut up! The Pontiff Token of Spirit Hall only recognizes the token itself, not the owner. Whoever holds the token is the true Honorary Elder of Spirit Hall."
Yu Xiaogang felt like he was going to explode from anger. He could not believe what she just said. That was literally a dog holding the token.
Tang San bit his lip and yelled, "We will make you pay back today's embarrassment a hundred times over!"
Dugu Yan felt amused by his words. Without waiting for Su Yan to give orders, she turned to the beasts and commanded, "Little San, they do not have the token anymore. You and Erhei go over there and bite both of them right now."
The Scarlet King shook his head, tossed the Pontiff Token into Dugu Yan's hand, and rushed at Yu Xiaogang. His three heads bit into Yu Xiaogang's legs and back.
Yu Xiaogang screamed in pain, "Ah! Damn it! I will make Bibi Dong kill every single one of you!"
Dugu Yan laughed out loud when she heard his threats.
Yanzi is not a Swallow typed, "Did you all hear that? He actually thinks Bibi Dong will kill me for him. Jokes aside, inside Spirit Hall, I don't mind if Bibi Dong calls me Yanzi. But outside Spirit Hall, what should she call me?"
Group Member No. 9 answered, "Fourth Sister."
Bibi Dong sent, "???"
Tang Yuehua wrote, "Hahaha!!"
Zhu Zhuqing added, "You two are truly incredible!"
Liu Erlong typed, "Hello Eldest Sister, hello Fourth Sister."
Bo Saixi chimed in, "This is so fun to watch. Bibi Dong, tell us, is Yanzi wrong?"
Xiao Wu asked, "In public, you all call me Little Rabbit and I don't care. But when we are at home, what are you going to call me?"
Liu Erlong replied, "Third Sister."
Ma Xiaotao commented, "Ancestor Erlong really wants to raise her status."
Call Me Her Majesty the Empress asked, "What does that mean? Why can't I understand this at all?"
Zhu Zhuqing said, "Now that I think about it, I am gaining a lot from this. I called her Eldest Sister for so many years, but later on, she will have to call me Eldest Sister instead."
Zhu Zhuyun replied, "???"
Jiang Nannan added, "This is getting more interesting by the minute."
Hu Liena sent, "???"
Inside Spirit Hall, Hu Liena was completely confused. Everything was a total mess, and the relationship hierarchy was spiraling out of control. She felt so worried about what she should call everyone in the future.
Ning Rongrong wrote, "Hu Liena, you called me Little Witch before and I let it go. But now, what should you call me?"
Zhu Zhuqing typed, "Hu Liena?"
Group Member No. 9 typed, "Hu Liena?"
Yanzi is not a Swallow typed, "Hu Liena?"
Hu Liena replied, "First Sister, Second Sister, Third Sister, Fourth Sister, Fifth Sister???"
Ah Yin corrected her, "Wrong!"
Xiao Wu explained, "You should say Aunt instead of Sister. Your teacher calls us Sister, so if you call us Sister too, won't that mess up the generations?"
Group Member No. 9 added, "Don't forget Tang Ya!"
Zhu Zhuqing noted, "Yes, and Qian Renxue in the future too."
Everyone in the chat burst into laughter again.
Inside the Crown Prince's Mansion, Qian Renxue's expression froze. She felt like her world was falling apart. She was furious at Bibi Dong for creating such a chaotic mess. She was just staying at home minding her own business, yet she suddenly gained so many new aunts for no reason.
She was so mad she felt like exploding. It did not feel fair at all. But then she realized that except for Zhu Zhuqing, none of them had been around longer than her. She wondered who was actually supposed to call whom Sister.
I Am an Orphan typed, "Bibi Dong, are you coming back tonight or tomorrow?"
Bibi Dong replied, "??? Is someone really asking for a beating right now?"
I Am an Orphan answered, "I am waiting for you to come back and hit me!"
Bibi Dong said, "I have never heard such a stupid request in my entire life. Don't you dare regret it later!"
I Am an Orphan replied, "That is what I was going to say to you. Don't you regret it!"
Hu Liena sent, "???"
Zhu Zhuqing sent, "???"
Su Yan was completely stunned as he watched the chat log. He knew that going back home would mean walking right into a chaotic battlefield. But he also knew he had to face this situation eventually. Whether the orphan argument happened or not, this trouble was bound to arrive sooner or later.
He needed to figure out a smart way to get Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue to get along with each other first. He sat there and began to think deeply about how to solve it.
Then, a system message appeared on the screen: The Su family has ended the video call.
Back at Shrek Academy, Dugu Yan turned to Ye Lingling and said, "Lingling, heal their wounds a bit. After that, we can head back to eat."
Ye Lingling nodded, "Mm." She activated her Spirit Ability and used her healing powers on Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.
Dugu Yan had truly learned Su Yan's habits well. Every time she finished beating someone up, she made sure to heal them right after. That way, they would be healthy enough to take another beating the next day.
Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth in pure rage and yelled, "Give me back my Pontiff Token!"
