Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

That wretched Doraemon, doesn't it know what we readers want to see?!

Why did you suddenly switch gears and start writing about the commonplace face-slapping plot?

The most important thing now is to quickly see what this Beast Taming System is and what effect the chickens have when they eat the spirit rice!

Many readers who have reached this point are extremely anxious.

I wish I could skim through the entire story and quickly skip over the plot I was so enthusiastic about before, the one about a reborn protagonist trampling on the villain.

"Hmm? Why are you suddenly frowning? Could it be that the opening of this Doraemon story went wrong?"

"Tell me quickly, how did it collapse?"

To everyone's surprise, those readers who bought the books and found a nearby place to read them actually continued reading intently while gritting their teeth.

He was unwilling to take a moment to answer.

The reporter from *Ten Thousand Book Reviews* came to the wall and began gathering material for the article.

"Young lady, what do you think of Xiao Dingdang's book, 'The Real and Fake Heiress'?"

The young woman also happened to see the return of the true heiress after the binding system was activated.

This is truly a precious daughter; why did she have to come back at such an inopportune time!

Couldn't Shi Huai have raised three spirit birds first, and then brought the token to their door?!

Upon hearing the question in his ear, he immediately retorted angrily:

"What real or fake heiress? Who wants to watch that stuff?!"

The reporter who wrote the book reviews nodded and wrote in his notebook:

"A young woman who wished to remain anonymous said: 'The book "The Real and Fake Heiresses" is unreadable and has absolutely no appeal.'"

She then walked over to another scholar who was reading on the ground and asked:

"After reading this article, I wonder what your opinion is of Xiao Dingdang?"

The person being interviewed understood the question, and, getting impatient, immediately cursed:

"This person is utterly despicable! I'm so anxious!"

In the storybook—

In his previous life, Shi Huai was caught off guard by the news and was extremely shocked. Therefore, when the real heiress came to visit, Shi Huai directly showed his disbelief on his face.

I didn't manage my facial expressions well.

Therefore, it was maliciously speculated upon by those with ulterior motives.

It is said that after learning about her true identity, she harbored malice towards the real heiress, Shi Jin, and her face turned extremely ugly. Presumably, she was feeling uneasy and was plotting something sinister.

Many people joked that:

"I really want to see how ugly she looked back then; she probably even wanted to kill someone."

"You have no idea how grim Shi Huai's face was back then. He looked like he wanted to tear that poor Zhenqian apart and devour her. It was the first time I had ever seen such an expression on her face."

In this life, Shi Huai had anticipated this.

You've mastered facial expression management!

She successfully transformed her expression into a color palette—a mix of three parts surprise, three parts guilt, three parts heartache, and a perfectly measured amount of panic.

They successfully handled this public opinion crisis.

In this scenario, even if Shi Jin has no malicious intent, the fact that the real and fake heiresses are standing together will inevitably lead to comparisons by others.

Any careless remark can be magnified.

Perhaps Shi Jin was just recounting interesting stories from her past life, but to others, it sounded like she was complaining about her own poverty and being a fake heiress enjoying wealth and luxury.

Perhaps Shi Huai was just expressing concern, but it seemed as if he was showing off his upbringing and knowledge, highlighting the differences between the two.

Since this has happened, it will inevitably lead to much speculation.

Having learned from his past life, Shi Huai was well-prepared for every word he spoke and every action he took.

This should be a classic trope in rebirth novels—avoiding pitfalls through foresight and thwarting the schemes of those with ulterior motives.

But now, everyone just wants to finish watching this drawn-out plot as soon as possible. It's nothing more than the same old story, and you don't even need to think to know that Shi Huai will definitely escape unscathed!

So, can we all go back to our own homes now and let Shi Huai raise the spirit birds?

The first meal after the real and fake heiresses met is still not finished!

Can we stop eating this? Let's raise some ducklings and birds instead. Wouldn't that be better? Can we put this whole "real or fake heiress" thing on hold for now?

What's the point of scheming and backstabbing? We should be doing aquaculture!

The reporter from Wan Juan Book Review picked another person and asked:

"Sir, are you alright?"

Why do you seem to have an unusually strong temper?

"What a lousy writer! He really can't write a book. He has no idea what we readers want to read!"

The chronicler recorded the events truthfully:

An unnamed old man said: "Xiao Danglang—that is, Xiao Dingdang—can't write storybooks at all, and has no idea what readers really like to read."

If Zhu Wuyao were to see this news interview, he'd be so angry he'd put a sack over someone's head in the middle of the night.

Is this taking things out of context?

Everyone says I, Little Dingdang, can't write, but look at everyone here, who has put down their storybook?

They're cursing while simultaneously unable to stop!

It's said that laymen watch the spectacle, while experts see the details. Wu Yuzi, who was in line, was quite pleased when he first heard someone cursing Doraemon.

He thought the matter was settled.

But seeing everyone cursing while watching with great interest, Wuyuzi started to panic again.

Moreover, there was no mention of any demon race at all; instead, it was about raising spirit birds and a system.

What is this?

Things seem to be taking an unexpected turn...

Regardless of the content of the book, just seeing the people who bought it engrossed in reading it, Wuyuzi thought to herself, "Oh no."

Because the book "Doraemon" is captivating enough.

It has kept readers who opened the storybooks.

That means you're halfway to success!

Wu Yuzi was extremely anxious. What on earth did Xiao Dingdang write?!

Didn't she plagiarize her own book?

Rebirth plus demonic beasts, that's not that unusual. Even with the added gimmick of the real and fake heiress, it shouldn't be like this.

Could it be that this story of the real and fake heiresses is really that captivating?

Or perhaps it's because of Doraemon's writing style that he makes commonplace plots exceptionally interesting?

Little did they know, everyone wanted to quickly skip over the whole story of the real and fake heiresses.

at last!

Shi Huai went back!

She went to choose a spirit bird!

She chose a parrot, a chicken, and a duck.

Just after Shi Huai put them in the cage, a voice suddenly rang in his mind:

"Congratulations, host, on completing the mission. Reward: a handful of spirit rice."

Shi Huai tried reaching out his hand, and sure enough, a handful of spiritual rice, brimming with spiritual energy, appeared in his palm. The grains were plump and seemed to radiate a glow.

She tried picking out a few grains of the glutinous rice and feeding them to the parrot.

After pecking at the spirit rice, the parrot seemed to become much more lively and said:

"Ah hey!"

then……

To find out what happens next, please read the next chapter.

"Me...me? Hey, what are you talking about?!"

"I'm so angry! It's just a parrot, can't it say anything other than 'caw'?"
