All-rounder Artist-Chapter 889 - 834: Everlasting Regret Part 4
```
Moreover, because Erlang Shen killed the Fourth Princess of the East Sea, violating the celestial decree, the Heavenly Court could no longer harbor him.
Erlang Shen was beyond redemption!
He lost his mana and was bruised all over.
In order to eat, he demeaned himself and begged a peasant family for food.
At that time.
The Sky Roaring Dog was extremely hungry.
Yang Jian snatched a steamed bun but couldn't bear to eat it himself, instead, he gave it to the Sky Roaring Dog.
The Sky Roaring Dog wolfed it down.
The peasant who had his steamed bun stolen punched and kicked Erlang Shen, but Erlang Shen held onto the man without letting go, only urging the Sky Roaring Dog to eat faster…
It turned out that this peasant was the deity of the land!
As the Judiciary God, Erlang Shen was ruthless and callous.
His reputation in the Three Realms had already soured, with nearly everyone calling for his execution.
The land deity was deliberately taking this opportunity to beat Erlang Shen severely, venting his deep-seated resentment!
…
After this episode ended.
Ling Kong's assistant suddenly said, "A whitewash?"
How could Erlang Shen, such a bad person, be willing to starve himself and even to endure beating by a peasant, just to let the Sky Roaring Dog have a few bites of steamed bun?
Ling Kong didn't speak.
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
The assistant burst into laughter!
Ling Kong said impatiently, "What are you laughing at?"
He was somewhat uneasy because he had actually begun to feel a bit of sympathy for Erlang Shen, a sentiment that seemed very wrong.
Could Yi An be trying to whitewash Erlang Shen?
To let Erlang Shen realize his wrongs when he was utterly desolate?
The assistant, as if having seen through everything, said with some profoundness, "You're probably worried that Yi An is whitewashing Erlang Shen."
"Isn't he?"
Ling Kong frowned but did not deny it.
If Yi An did whitewash Erlang Shen, although "The Legend of Lotus Lantern" would still be criticized, his own efforts to undermine Starlight would be greatly diminished.
"This time you are wrong, young Ling!"
The assistant's eyes shone brightly: "But that's precisely the cleverness of Yi An. Although his action of smearing Erlang Shen's image is foolish, his screenwriting skills are indeed high!"
"What do you mean?"
Ling Kong was a bit confused.
The assistant, holding wisdom like a gem, as if possessed by Conan:
"This sequence is actually still mocking Erlang Shen. Yi An wants to tell the audience: Erlang Shen can be so kind to a dog, yet he can be cruel enough to kill his own sister and nephew, which clearly means, in Erlang Shen's heart, dogs are more valued than people!"
"So that's it!"
Ling Kong suddenly realized!
This plot twist was indeed satirical, ultimately aimed at discrediting Erlang Shen!
There was a news report online before.
It was about a rich man who took every care of his dog, and when the dog had a cold or a fever, he would be so worried that he couldn't eat. But the same rich man showed no gratitude to his parents and refused to spend money on their medical care when they were ill.
At that time, this news sparked a lot of discussion online.
Everyone was struck by the thought: "Dogs are treated better than humans."
In Yi An's pen, Erlang Shen might also be such a person.
Such brilliant satire!
Unfortunately, it was directed at the wrong subject.
Why did Yi An choose to satirize Erlang Shen of all people?
Ling Kong's worries eased quite a bit, and he patted the assistant's shoulder again, saying, "I hadn't realized you were quite smart."
"All thanks to your teachings, young Ling!"
The assistant subconsciously lowered his body to make Ling Kong's pat more comfortable.
"Let's keep watching tomorrow. It's such a good show!"
Ling Kong praised and couldn't resist taunting, "Assuming the show hasn't been banned by then."
Someone had reported it to the Literature and Art Association.
"The Legend of Lotus Lantern" had now sparked a myriad of criticisms, and it was possible that the Literature and Art Association would ban the work.
In fact, Ling Kong did not want the show to be banned.
It would be better to let Yi An continue on his path, smearing Erlang Shen beyond recognition, which would, in turn, have the most damaging influence on Starlight.
At the same time.
Netizens had also finished watching the sixteenth episode's update.
At this moment, they had not yet realized that the perspective of the show had started to shift.
The main character was previously Chenxiang.
But now, Erlang Shen Yang Jian, had become the protagonist of "The Legend of Lotus Lantern!"
What they were even less aware of:
The groundwork that Yi An had laid for Erlang Shen's image reversal was already densely woven!
Just as the saying goes:
Everlasting Regret!
