Dugu Yan's face instantly darkened, fury rising within her as her chest swelled several sizes larger. She shouted angrily, "I haven't even settled the score with you yet, and you're already pushing your luck! Those Immortal Herbs originally belonged to my grandfather!"
The last time Wu Xing mentioned her grandfather in the Diary, she had made a huge fool of herself in front of the students and teachers. Later, after asking her grandfather about it, she learned that those Immortal Herbs had all been planted by him. When he discovered they had been stolen, he had nearly died of anger on the spot.
And now, she had not even told her grandfather who had stolen them—though in truth, the Diary Instance would not allow her to discuss anything related to Wu Xing—and she had to pay for a few herbs?
"Your grandfather doesn't know how to use Immortal Herbs. Leaving them there would only let such treasures gather dust. Your grandfather ought to thank me for picking them, for giving those treasures the value they deserve." Faced with Dugu Yan's furious rebuke, Wu Xing did not care in the slightest, displaying his shamelessness to the fullest.
Dugu Yan was so angry at Wu Xing's words that she nearly laughed. She had seen shameless people before, but never anyone this shameless. He stole someone else's things and still thought the victim should thank him.
"Do you believe I'll go find my grandfather right now and have him come thank you?" Dugu Yan asked through gritted teeth.
"That would be best." Wu Xing smiled.
"You!" Seeing Wu Xing act like a dead pig that feared no boiling water, Dugu Yan was completely helpless.
She could not beat him, nor could she argue with him. Was she really supposed to go find her grandfather?
She was not stupid. Wu Xing was the Diary Owner; she could only befriend him, not offend him. How could she be foolish enough to call her grandfather over?
Driven nearly mad by Wu Xing, Dugu Yan wanted Ye Lingling to judge who was right, only to see her good sister covering her mouth and smiling at the side. That made her feel even worse.
Noticing Dugu Yan's gaze, Ye Lingling quickly suppressed her smile and said, "Sister Yanyan, Wu Xing is just teasing you."
After their brief exchange, Ye Lingling had already learned what kind of person Wu Xing was. She understood that he was merely teasing her good sister and did not truly intend to deny her Immortal Herbs.
"Teasing me?" Dugu Yan froze.
Seeing Dugu Yan still acting so foolishly, Wu Xing stopped teasing her and said, "With that brain of yours, no wonder you couldn't even obtain a single Immortal Herb in the original story. Just like your grandfather, you deserve to be a tool."
"What do you mean?" Dugu Yan, who had only just managed to calm down, was once again enraged by Wu Xing's words.
"Enough, enough. I'll give you an Immortal Herb." Wu Xing found an Immortal Herb suited to her martial soul in the Diary Warehouse, took it out, and placed it before her. "This Immortal Herb is called Azure Cloud Snake Scorpion Grass. It happens to suit your martial soul. Remember to find a quiet place before absorbing it."
Dugu Yan, who had been burning with anger moments ago, finally turned her attention to the Immortal Herb on the table and examined it closely.
She was quite curious. Could this Immortal Herb truly be so effective, capable of raising Soul Power Level and evolving one's martial soul? Aside from being more vivid and delicate than ordinary flowers, it did not seem especially strange.
"You're not lying to me, are you? This is really an Immortal Herb? You didn't just pick it somewhere to brush me off?" Unable to spot anything unusual about it even after a long while, Dugu Yan asked suspiciously.
Wu Xing rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Take it or leave it."
"Of course I'll take it." Upon hearing that, Dugu Yan immediately stored the Immortal Herb in her Storage Spirit Tool, afraid that this shameless fellow would take it back.
Watching Dugu Yan's actions, Wu Xing was speechless. He then looked toward Ye Lingling and said with a smile, "Yours costs money."
"I've already prepared it." As though she had known Wu Xing would say that, Ye Lingling took out a card from her Soul Tool. "This is a gold card accepted throughout the continent. It contains one hundred thousand Gold Coins."
Wu Xing was slightly surprised as he watched Ye Lingling calmly take out the Golden Soul Card and push it across the table toward him. This woman was not simple. First, she had seen through his identity. Then she had helped Dugu Yan out of trouble. And now she had taken out a Golden Soul Card, as though she had long expected him to say this.
"Ling Ling, why are you giving this guy money?" Dugu Yan asked indignantly when she saw her good sister truly give him one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.
"It is only proper." Ye Lingling answered with a smile. Wu Xing could give Dugu Yan an Immortal Herb because the herbs had been planted by her grandfather, but Ye Lingling could not do the same. More importantly, she did not want to owe Wu Xing a favor or leave the impression that she was taking advantage of him.
Besides, one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins meant nothing to her. That was no exaggeration. With her Nine Heart Begonia martial soul, she could earn a vast sum simply by treating injured people. The cost was merely some Soul Power.
It was no exaggeration to say that as long as Ye Lingling was willing, many soul masters would line up to give her money. She was unquestionably a wealthy beauty.
After receiving the Golden Soul Card, Wu Xing immediately handed it to Su Ruoxi, who was still stunned. Only after quite some time did she come back to her senses and ask, "Wu Xing, why are you giving this Golden Soul Card to me?"
Though her mind was still buzzing, she had learned from their conversation that her man was hiding some earth-shattering secret. Even the name Ben Yuan had merely been fabricated to conceal his identity.
"I'm giving it to you for safekeeping." Wu Xing smiled.
"You really are generous." Seeing Wu Xing hand the Golden Soul Card to Su Ruoxi as soon as he received it, Dugu Yan said somewhat sourly.
She did not know why she felt sour. Perhaps it was because the contrast between how he treated her and how he treated Su Ruoxi was too great, stirring up a sense of comparison rather than jealousy.
"Of course. Ruo Xi is my woman. If I'm not good to her, should I be good to you instead?" Wu Xing said matter-of-factly.
Upon hearing that, a large cross-shaped vein appeared on Dugu Yan's forehead. That display of affection had come completely out of nowhere.
What an infuriatingly smug bastard! She cursed inwardly, then suddenly thought of something. Her eyes lit up slightly as she said to Su Ruoxi, "Little Sister Ruo Xi, you need to keep a close eye on him. This guy is very flirtatious."
"..." Wu Xing's face darkened when he saw Dugu Yan trying to drive a wedge between him and Su Ruoxi. "Dugu Yan, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak. Be careful, or I'll sue you for slander!"
"Do you dare swear that you have no feelings for me?" Dugu Yan did not care about Wu Xing's threat at all. After saying that, she deliberately puffed out her panda.
So big, so round, so robust...
Yes, Wu Xing was referring to her blue fish-scale armor, absolutely not what you were thinking.
The Diary Actually Connects to the Anime Multiverse! ### "You really know how to flatter yourself. Have I ever mentioned you?" Wu Xing discreetly withdrew his gaze, looked at the self-satisfied Dugu Yan, and curled his lip.
If he remembered correctly, despite writing so many Diary Instances, he seemed never to have expressed any thoughts about her specifically.
Wu Xing's words made Dugu Yan furious again, yet she had no way to refute him. He truly had never deliberately mentioned her. On the other hand, he constantly had the Three Beauties of the Spirit Hall and the Three Beauties of Shrek Academy on his lips.
Especially the Three Beauties of the Spirit Hall. That guy had not stopped mentioning them in every single Diary entry.
As for Bibi Dong, the Pope, Dugu Yan had naturally heard of her. But that Pope was not young anymore, was she? She was nearly old enough to be his grandmother.
Thinking that the guy before her liked such mature women, Dugu Yan seemed to have found a way to strike back. Raising her brows, she said, "I know. You just like old women, don't you? I understand, I understand."
"..." Wu Xing was somewhat baffled by Dugu Yan's words. What old women? What did she understand? Had this girl been so angered by him that her mind had gone muddled? But he quickly understood, and a strange smile appeared on his face. He praised, "You're really brave, daring to call Dong'er an old woman."
Dugu Yan had thought she had regained some ground when Wu Xing was left speechless by her remark. Yet the moment she saw his teasing expression, an awful feeling instantly filled her entire body.
Sure enough, his next words made her shudder. Terrified, she hurriedly denied it, "I... I never said that! Th-that was what you said yourself! Don't talk nonsense or make things up!"
By the end, Dugu Yan's voice had become sharper. She knew that the Diary Instance written by this guy would most likely be visible to the Pope. If he wrote that down, not even her grandfather would be able to save her.
"Tsk, tsk. Scared now?" Wu Xing once again revealed an amused smile as he watched Dugu Yan jump up in fright.
"I... I..." Dugu Yan pointed at Wu Xing, wanting to say something, but realized she had no idea how to clear herself. She was so anxious that she was nearly crying.
Seeing Dugu Yan completely at Wu Xing's mercy, Ye Lingling could only sigh helplessly. As her good sister, she had no choice but to step in. "Wu Xing, stop teasing Sister Yanyan. She is straightforward and has no ill intentions. She cannot handle your jokes."
Since Ye Lingling had spoken, Wu Xing stopped teasing Dugu Yan. Instead, he turned his gaze toward Ye Lingling and smiled. "So you can handle it?"
As Wu Xing stared at her with such intensity, Ye Lingling's face reddened slightly. Though she was calm and elegant by nature, she could not withstand such a bold gaze. "Wu Xing, stop joking with me. There's something I want to tell you."
"Oh?" Wu Xing paused, then put away his playful thoughts and asked curiously, "What is it?"
The most direct impression of a person came from one's first interaction with them. Ye Lingling gave him the impression of a clever, sensible girl who understood when to advance and when to retreat. Though she was young, she possessed the bearing of a refined noble lady.
Naturally, he could not use the same methods on a girl like her that he used on Dugu Yan. Thus, after she spoke, he stopped joking around.
"You know that many women can see the Diary Instance, right?" Ye Lingling asked after seeing Wu Xing become serious.
"Mm." Wu Xing nodded, though he was somewhat puzzled. Given her intelligence, she should not have asked such an obvious question.
"Then do you know that, aside from our world, women in other worlds can also see this Diary Instance?" Ye Lingling continued.
After observing the Diary updates over the past week, the meticulous Ye Lingling had noticed that Wu Xing seemed to discuss only matters from their world. He had never mentioned other worlds.
Perhaps that was simply because he was currently in the Douluo Continent world, but it was also possible that he did not know. If it was the former, then it did not matter. But if it was the latter, she felt it was necessary to speak with Wu Xing.
Aside from being curious about how other worlds differed from the Douluo Continent world, the more important point was that if Wu Xing did not know, she could use this topic to build a better relationship with him.
"What!" After hearing Ye Lingling's words, Wu Xing's pupils contracted slightly. He asked in disbelief, "Why would you ask that?"
Seeing Wu Xing's reaction, Ye Lingling knew that she had guessed correctly. She then explained, one by one, the information she had received through the rewards for Diary holders.
The more Wu Xing listened, the more astonished and incredulous he became. He had thought himself standing in the stratosphere, having long seen through the schemes of that lousy system. Now, however, he discovered he was merely in the basement.
"Who do you know about?" After a while, once he had processed the information, Wu Xing asked again.
"According to the information I have obtained so far, there is Snow Moon Sword Immortal Li Hanyi from Great Journey of the Young, Light Bearer Fandi from the Spirit Cage world, Holy Kaisha from the Super Soldier world, Willow God from Perfect World, Ruthless Great Emperor from Shrouding the Heavens, Tsunade from the Naruto world, and Jing Ni, who only appeared today, from The Legend of Qin world."
"Those are the women I have learned of through Diary rewards."
After speaking, Ye Lingling quietly watched him. She did not know whether this news was important to Wu Xing.
After hearing about all those reward holders Ye Lingling named, Wu Xing was dumbfounded for a long time.
Damn, damn, damn. The system was really playing this big? It had completely stunned him. In his original world, every one of those women had been a character from massively popular anime.
No wonder his golden finger's first-day prompt had been the Myriad Worlds Anime Diary System. It was gathering every anime into one net!
Although only seven worlds had appeared for now, which was still far from all of the Anime Multiverse, he knew that was because he had only written seven Diary entries. More Anime Multiverse worlds would certainly appear later.
What shocked him most was that some of those women were utterly heaven-defying beings, yet they also possessed his Diary Instances. He was somewhat worried that they might follow the system and come find him.
However, so many days had passed, so presumably they could not do that. Otherwise, with the Ruthless Great Emperor's terrifying methods, she would have long since come to investigate his identity.
But then Wu Xing frowned. If the Diary System connected all the myriad worlds, it definitely could not be as simple as writing Diaries. Otherwise, it would not have distributed them to those women. He had no idea what trick his golden finger was planning. He had not even gained a foothold in the Douluo Continent yet, and it had already given him such a huge surprise—or rather, fright.
Wu Xing did not speak. All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. Seeing that he had not reacted for so long, Ye Lingling subconsciously asked, "Wu Xing, what's wrong?"
"N-nothing. I'm a little panicked right now. I need time to adjust." Wu Xing came back to his senses and waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
"A little panicked?" Ye Lingling was stunned. She did not understand why he had suddenly wilted.
Although this guy was always saying in the Diary that he feared death, she knew he was not truly timid. After all, in her view, who would dare disrespect the Pope? Yet he had dared to flirt with her! And now, the panic Wu Xing displayed after hearing about those women did not seem fake.
If Wu Xing knew what Ye Lingling was thinking, he would definitely teach her a proper lesson about what true great powers were.
He dared flirt with the beautiful Dong'er in his Diary because she could not find him. Even if she could, it would take time. Even if he were caught and made into a tool, he was confident he could still escape. But when facing some of the women mentioned above, even a teleportation card would be useless. They were beings capable of manipulating the river of time itself. If he appeared in their worlds, they could locate him and stand before him in minutes—no, in seconds.
Tell him, how could he not be afraid? How could he not panic?
Speculation ### After learning that the Diary Instance holders included beauties from various worlds, Wu Xing could no longer resist writing something. He hurriedly said goodbye to Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, then brought Su Ruoxi back to the dormitory.
Along the way, Wu Xing also explained the matter of the Diary to her. Only then did Su Ruoxi understand why Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had come looking for him and why they knew her man.
Though she was deeply shocked after learning everything, Su Ruoxi also felt somewhat despondent. Why had she not received a Diary Instance? Was she unimportant in this world? Otherwise, why had one not been given to her?
Noticing the change in Su Ruoxi's mood, Wu Xing immediately employed his warm-hearted man techniques of "comforting" her. Only after plenty of coaxing and "persuading" did she finally relax.
"Wu Xing, you won't abandon me in the future, will you?" After being comforted, Su Ruoxi looked seriously at Wu Xing, who was close at hand.
She was somewhat afraid. Now that she knew Wu Xing was a transmigrator and possessed the divine artifact known as the Diary System, she could not imagine what he might achieve in the future. Even the Douluo Continent world could not hold him back. She truly feared that one day, he would leave her.
Su Ruoxi could not be blamed for thinking that way. Women who had just fallen in love were all like this. Women in the Douluo Continent world were no exception. Whenever something happened, they could not help thinking in that direction, worrying about gains and losses.
"Fool, how could I abandon you? You are the first woman I met after transmigrating here. I might abandon anyone, but never you." Wu Xing raised his hand and rested it against Su Ruoxi's face, still flushed with lingering passion. He lowered his head and lightly kissed her sensual lips before continuing. "Based on what I know about the Diary System, it can be upgraded. There will definitely be more functions later. Maybe after it reaches some level, I'll be able to invite you in."
"Mm." Having received his answer, Su Ruoxi finally showed a faint smile.
After sharing another tender moment, Wu Xing seemed to think of something. He took an Immortal Herb from the Diary Warehouse and handed it to her. "Ruo Xi, absorb this Immortal Herb. It will help you greatly. Your man needs to write in his Diary first."
"Alright." Su Ruoxi nodded. After his earlier explanation, she understood the effect of Immortal Herbs and did not refuse.
Watching Su Ruoxi absorb the Immortal Herb, Wu Xing finally withdrew his gaze. He hurriedly opened the Diary System and began updating it.
Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit.
In his very first line, Wu Xing wrote three exclamations to express his emotions.
At the same time, the beauties across the various worlds immediately received a notification. They were rather surprised. Had he not already updated it twice today? He was doing it again?
Not knowing what was going on, the women summoned their Diary Instances once again. After opening them, they became even more confused.
What had happened to this guy for him to lose his composure so badly?
Amid the women's curiosity, a second line appeared in the Diary Instance.
This is terrible, this is terrible. Beautiful ladies, I originally did not want to disturb you again, but I really cannot hold it in.
"Mm?" The women raised their brows. Judging by this guy's tone, it seemed that something huge had happened.
Bibi Dong, far away in Spirit City, was especially alarmed. Could it be that he had encountered danger and was seeking help? But after thinking about it, she felt that was unlikely. He possessed that teleportation card—who could threaten him?
Despite thinking so, Bibi Dong rose without hesitation and left her chambers. If he had truly encountered danger and was nearby, she would rush over immediately.
After all, Wu Xing was far too important to her, hundreds or even thousands of times more important than her grand plans. After learning the power of the Diary Instance, her ambitions were no longer confined to this place.
However, just as she released her martial soul and prepared to support him, she saw the words appearing in the Diary Instance the very next second. She nearly stumbled out of the sky.
Beautiful ladies, today I learned something, something that shocked me deeply!
It turns out this Diary System connects to the Anime Multiverse. It turns out the only beauties who received my Diary are not from the Douluo Continent world.
Bibi Dong was furious as she looked at the words. He had shouted so many profanities and cried that it was terrible so many times that she thought he was in danger. Yet this was all it was?
She had known since the first day that Diary Instance holders were not limited to beauties from the Douluo Continent world, but also included beauties from other worlds. Yet she had been frantic with worry and prepared to save him, only for it to turn out to be a false alarm.
If Wu Xing had been beside her right then, she definitely would not have minded giving him a Bloodsucking Spider Thorn. Why was he shouting such unlucky nonsense about disaster for no reason?
Originally, I thought that after coming to this world, the Diary System would distribute my Diary to beauties from the Douluo Continent world. I never expected the system to pull one over on me again. If two beautiful Diary Instance holders had not come looking for me today, I would still be completely in the dark.
