Call Me Her Majesty the Empress: I want to know what PUA means, but I am not going to ask. I will just wait for Su Yan to ask and answer it himself.
Su Yan: You are just a big silly cat, Three Eyed Golden Lion.
Call Me Her Majesty the Empress: And you are just a guy named Su Yan who is full of bad ideas.
Ah Yin: Your Majesty, did you accidentally eat some of Su Yan's saliva because of the delicious food he sent you?
Group Member No. 9: Sister Ah Yin, you have learned how to steal my lines now, haven't you?
Tang Yuehua: Ah Yin has completely turned to the dark side.
Yanzi is not a Swallow: Hahaha, this is too funny.
Call Me Her Majesty the Empress: Blue Silver Emperor, how dare you say that to me. I will go and stomp on all your plant subjects right now.
Group Member No. 9: Wait a minute, aren't those plants your subjects too?
In the world of Douluo II, inside the Star Dou Great Forest, the big silly cat, the Three Eyed Golden Lion, had just lifted her foot to stomp. She suddenly froze and stopped her foot mid-air. She realized that those Blue Silver Grass plants were actually her own subjects too.
Su Yan: Now, some of you might ask me nicely, what exactly is PUA?
Call Me Her Majesty the Empress: I definitely did not ask that.
I Am a Little Bird: Well, I am asking.
Everyone: Plus one.
Call Me Her Majesty the Empress: I am so angry right now. Why are you guys teaming up to bully me again? You are all bad people.
Wang Dong: Do not worry about that right now. We really do not know what it means, so we are seriously asking you.
Su Yan: PUA can happen in many ways. It includes things like brainwashing, moral kidnapping, emotional control, controlling how someone acts, tricking people, changing their values, and directing their emotions. Let me give you a few examples so you can understand it better. For example, when Bibi Dong says things to Ling Yuan like, you are the weakest Elder in Spirit Hall, and what would you even be without Spirit Hall? Or when she says, do not focus so much on rewards and merit because you need to learn more, and I am just giving you a chance to improve yourself. Or even when she says, although you are the weakest, you are the one this Supreme Pontiff likes the most. That is PUA.
Bibi Dong: What is this?
I Am a Little Bird: What?
Just like that, Bibi Dong was completely shocked and confused. She wondered why this little brat had to use her as an example while explaining things. At the same time, Ning Rongrong, who had tears in her eyes a moment ago, could not help but laugh out loud.
Yanzi is not a Swallow: That is amazing.
Group Member No. 9: Sister Ling Yuan, please tell us the truth. Has Her Eminence the Supreme Pontiff ever said those things to you?
I Am a Little Bird: She has definitely said that last sentence to me before.
Everyone: Wow, that is crazy.
Su Yan: Here is another example. When Bibi Dong says things to Hu Liena like, I only hit you or scold you because I love you. Or when she says, your teacher is so good to you, so why do you always disappoint me? Or if you were just a little more sensible, I would not have to be so tired all the time.
Hu Liena: Wait, what?
Bibi Dong: You little brat, that is quite enough from you.
Su Yan: Or look at what Yu Xiaogang says to Bibi Dong or Liu Erlong. He says things like, even though I am very ordinary, I am definitely the person who loves you the most in this world. Or he says, for your sake, I will definitely keep trying my best. He also says, you still like me even though I am just a useless waste, so you must be the most beautiful and kindest girl in the world. And finally, he says, you are still the best, and I cannot live my life without you.
Liu Erlong: You little brat, tell us the truth now. Did you see these things happen in the River of Time?
Bibi Dong: I am really going to die from anger.
Bibi Dong stared at Su Yan through the chat. She was so furious that she really wanted to bite someone. She was mad because those were not just random examples. Those were actual facts that had happened in her life.
Su Yan: For another example, what if I say these things to Ning Rongrong? I could say, I only have so many girlfriends because of the pictures you posted in the group chat. Or I could say, I am also feeling very sad and wronged, so what more do you want from me? Or even, if you want to think about it that way, there is nothing I can do to change your mind.
Everyone: That is crazy.
Su Yan: Now let us finish with one last example about lowering someone's value. This is the exact opposite of what Yu Xiaogang does. Is there any brave person in our group who wants to step forward and take this challenge?
Liu Erlong: Oh, really?
I Am an Orphan: Bibi Dong has already taken so many hits from his examples. Is this next one going to be even more brutal?
Zhu Zhuyun: Lowering someone's value sounds like a very powerful trick.
I Am a Little Bird: I am shaking with fear right now.
Loves Eating Carrots: I definitely do not want to do it.
Wang Dong: Why don't we let our old ancestor Ning Rongrong take the lead again?
Ning Rongrong: I am already behaving nicely, so please leave me out of this.
Bo Saixi: I think Bibi Dong works perfectly for this.
Liu Erlong: Yes, let that old woman do it. You have already used her for so many examples anyway, so adding one more will not hurt her.
Yanzi is not a Swallow: Plus one to that.
I Am an Orphan: Then it is decided. Let us use Bibi Dong.
Everyone: Plus one.
Bibi Dong was so angry at this point that she really wanted to start shouting insults at everyone.
Bibi Dong: You total brat. You people are terrible. Can you guys please act like real human beings for once?
Su Yan looked at Bibi Dong with a very strange expression on his face.
Su Yan: Your Eminence, this is just a simple example. You are not allowed to get angry in real life.
Bibi Dong: Just say it.
Su Yan: Alright, if Bibi Dong and I were dating, then I would use PUA on her like this. I would tell her, even though you are the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall, you are already so old, stupid, and blind. Nobody else would ever look at you, so I am the only one who actually wants to be with you. I would say, you have such a boring personality, and only I can put up with you.
I would also say, your chest is not as big as Zhuqing's, your legs are not as long as Ling Yuan's, you are not as cute as Ning Rongrong, and you are not as young as Hu Liena. Since you managed to find a boyfriend like me, you really need to appreciate me.
I would tell her, you are just too sensitive and you are overthinking everything. You do not deserve to be with me at all. I have done so much for you, so what else do you want from me? If you really loved me, you would do what I say. And if you do not give me money to spend, it means you do not love me at all.
Everyone: What is this?
For a moment, everyone in the group chat felt a massive headache coming on from reading those words. Even Bibi Dong was completely frozen in shock. She could not believe what she was reading. She wondered how being her boyfriend could possibly be a bad thing for him. It was totally unacceptable to her. She squeezed her hands into tight fists and ground her teeth together in pure anger. She demanded to know who he was calling old, and whose body parts he was comparing to the other girls.
Su Yan saw her terrifying and angry look. He quickly grabbed Ning Rongrong and pulled her right in front of him to use her as a human shield. He yelled back that he was only making an example, and they had already agreed not to get mad.
Ning Rongrong and the other people around could not hold it in anymore and started laughing loudly.
Yanzi is not a Swallow: I really want to know what the Supreme Pontiff is feeling right now.
Group Member No. 9: Su Yan, are you even still alive over there?
I Am an Orphan: You are such a bad guy. You really dare to say anything, don't you?
Liu Erlong: I am seriously going to die from laughing so hard. Even though Su Yan is just making a random example, isn't he actually telling the truth?
Bo Saixi: Some people just like to say what they really mean by turning it into a joke, right?
I Am a Little Bird: Your Eminence, if someone said that to me, I would definitely lose my mind.
Tang Yuehua: We are not trying to cause any trouble here, but Your Eminence, can you really tolerate this kind of talk?
Yanzi is not a Swallow: I could not stand it for even a single second.
Hu Liena: This is amazing. So my teacher being your girlfriend is actually a bad thing for you?
Su Yan: You guys are trying to start a fight. This is terrible. Supreme Pontiff, please listen to my explanation. I just remembered something important.
Su Yan saw that Bibi Dong was walking closer and closer to him with a scary face. He immediately turned around and started running away as fast as he could to save his life. He sent a quick message saying he could not stay any longer and had to run. Bibi Dong screamed at him to stop right there as she flew up into the air to chase him down.
