In Douluo, All the Goddesses Have Fallen Apart

Since it wasn't what she had imagined, Su Ruoxi asked in confusion, "Then what happened?"

"Wait until Wu Xing gets here and ask him." Dugu Yan sighed. Just thinking about that reward exhausted her.

"Ask me what? What are you talking about?"

Speak of the devil, and he appeared. As soon as Dugu Yan finished speaking, Wu Xing's voice followed. When he arrived before the three women and saw Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's haggard expressions, he was startled as well.

"Damn, what bad things did you two do last night?"

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling both rolled their eyes and snapped irritably, "Still pretending? Keep pretending!"

"Me? What am I pretending?" Wu Xing asked instinctively. The next second, he suddenly thought of something, and the corner of his lips curled up. "Don't tell me you couldn't sleep because of my reward?"

"You're still talking! Believe it or not, I'll bite you!" Dugu Yan opened her little mouth, revealing her snowy-white fangs as she assumed the posture of a snake attacking its prey.

"Wu Xing, I suspect you did it on purpose yesterday. You deliberately made us lose sleep." Ye Lingling rarely scolded anyone, but now she did.

Facing the united front of the two women, Wu Xing hurriedly laughed it off. "How could that be? I was just excited and wanted to share it with everyone. Who knew your hearts were so weak? You haven't seen enough of the world. That won't do."

Wu Xing's shameless response infuriated the two women. Listen to that—was that even something a human would say? He had taken all the benefits, showed off to his heart's content, and then turned around to say they were weak-hearted and inexperienced?

Watching this, Su Ruoxi finally understood. The reason the two women looked so haggard was that her man seemed to have received some incredible reward that had kept them awake all night.

"Wu Xing, what reward did you receive?" Su Ruoxi asked curiously.

What kind of reward could make Sister Yanyan and Little Sister Ling Ling, even all the Diary holders, unable to contain themselves?

Hearing Su Ruoxi's question, Wu Xing did not hide anything and directly told them about the reward.

He had said that he would tell them about every Diary entry he wrote, so naturally he would not conceal anything.

Su Ruoxi covered her mouth in shock. Her man actually possessed the Resurrection Technique!

No wonder Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had lost their composure. She was not much better herself.

"It seems not having a Diary Instance isn't necessarily a bad thing." Su Ruoxi pursed her lips in a smile. At least she had not been tormented by this matter.

Of course, she was thrilled from the bottom of her heart that Wu Xing had obtained such a heaven-defying skill, and silently praised herself for being so decisive back then.

Otherwise, where would she find such an outstanding boyfriend if she missed him?

After they finished talking about the Diary reward, Dugu Yan asked, "Wu Xing, how do you plan to arrange today?"

"I'm planning to explore Heaven Dou City some more, then return to the academy this afternoon," Wu Xing said after thinking for a while.

Heaven Dou City was huge. Although they had walked around for a long time yesterday, there were still many places they had not visited. Even with today added in, they might not be able to see everything.

Moreover, tomorrow was the time for the team to gather. Even if they could not finish exploring, they could only leave it at that for now and come back another day when they had time.

"Alright." Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had no objections to Wu Xing's suggestion.

As for Su Ruoxi, there was even less to say. Everything she did now revolved around her man.

Seeing that, Wu Xing added, "Then let's go inform your grandfather first."

Dugu Yan nodded, then led them to see Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo was startled when he saw his precious granddaughter, but soon afterward, he secretly gave her a thumbs-up.

His granddaughter had still been shy in front of him last night, yet after only one night, she had already made her move. She truly was a member of the Dugu Family.

Seeing her grandfather's little gesture, Dugu Yan felt like crying without tears. In the end, however, she did not explain. A misunderstanding was a misunderstanding.

After meeting someone as outstanding as Wu Xing, she probably would never be interested in any other man again. She was stuck with him now.

Mm, this guy had to take full responsibility.

After the group left the residence, they were discussing whether to visit the auction house or the Spirit Fighting Arena first when several beautiful figures appeared at the other end of the street.

Setting a Trap for the Three Beauties of Shrek Academy

"It's them."

Dugu Yan raised an eyebrow when she saw the figures. They were none other than the Three Beauties of Shrek Academy, whom she had met briefly yesterday.

She was not surprised that they had come looking for them so early. Wu Xing had already mentioned his whereabouts in the Diary Instance yesterday.

Coupled with the Resurrection Technique reward afterward, even if he had said not to seek him out unless necessary, probably few people could restrain themselves.

As Wu Xing watched the Three Beauties of Shrek Academy walk toward them, the corners of his lips curled slightly. He had said so much last night, and had even specifically mentioned Ah Rou, because he had his own plan.

Since he intended to make Tang San lose everyone around him and have Xiao Wu put a huge pair of horns on him, how could Wu Xing possibly sit idle?

After all, relying solely on the Diary entries he updated to achieve that was far from enough. Only by making them fall completely into his trap could he ensure nothing went wrong.

Sure enough, it seemed they had taken the bait.

"Brother Wu." After the three girls approached, Xiao Wu respectfully greeted him.

"Oh, it's you three." Wu Xing nodded in surprise, then deliberately asked, "Did you come looking for me for something?"

Although he had set this trap to make the Three Beauties of Shrek Academy come to him, he could not reveal it on the surface.

Xiao Wu looked at Wu Xing, then at the women beside him. She seemed hesitant to speak, but when she thought of her mother, she gathered her courage. "Brother Wu, are you free right now? Xiao Wu has something to ask of you. Could we talk in pri... privately?"

Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Wu Xing had already guessed what she wanted to discuss. He smiled and said, "Ruo Xi is my girlfriend, while Yanzi and Ling Ling are also my good friends. If there's anything you need my help with, just say it. It's fine."

Naturally, he would not speak with her alone. He needed the women to be present.

Wu Xing's words filled Su Ruoxi with joy, her beautiful eyes curving into crescents. Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were delighted as well.

Those words already showed that their relationship was anything but ordinary.

As for Su Ruoxi, there was even less need to mention it. Through the Diary entries her man had discussed, she knew who these three girls were. Now, in front of them, he had called her his girlfriend. Was there anything more worthy of her happiness?

Xiao Wu was slightly stunned. She had not expected Wu Xing to say that, but since he had already said it, she could not insist otherwise. After all, she was the one asking him for help.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Wu gritted her teeth and clenched her hands. "Please, Brother Wu, resurrect my mother."

As soon as she finished speaking, she was about to kneel.

Wu Xing reacted quickly and caught Xiao Wu before she could kneel. "Little Sister Xiao Wu, I said in my Diary that if you need my help with anything, I'll spare no effort. But this bow is too much."

"Thank you, Brother Wu," Xiao Wu said gratefully.

"Uh..." Wu Xing was speechless. After helping her back up, he said with some difficulty, "Little Sister Xiao Wu, it isn't that I don't want to help with what you're asking. It's just that... the cooldown on this skill of mine is rather long."

"I can understand how much you miss your mother, but there are so many Diary Instance holders, and many of them have experiences similar to yours. I really shouldn't decide who to agree to first. You understand, right?"

As he spoke, Wu Xing looked toward Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, who also possessed Diary Instances. His meaning was perfectly clear.

What a joke. If he agreed so readily, how was he supposed to keep her in his grasp afterward?

"Xiao Wu understands. Xiao Wu is willing to work like an ox or a horse to repay Brother Wu's great kindness." Although Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast transformed into human form, she understood what Wu Xing meant. It was simply that she missed her mother too much. Now that she had finally seen hope, how could she be willing to give up?

Hearing that, Wu Xing could not help rubbing his forehead. Am I not handsome? Don't they say that if you're handsome, they offer themselves to you; if you're ordinary, they work like oxen and horses; and if you're ugly, they promise it in the next life?

Pushing that thought aside, Wu Xing smiled bitterly. "Xiao Wu, that's not what I mean. As my pen pal, I'll definitely help whenever I can, but I'm afraid I can't agree to this for now."

He could not casually set this precedent. If he did, perhaps all those beauties with Diary Instances would come looking for him one after another, asking him to resurrect this person or that person. He would be annoyed to death by then.

Besides, given their current relationship, it was not worth using the Resurrection Technique for her.

After all, although he now had this skill to guarantee his safety, if he died midway through, he would need to use the skill and wait for its cooldown before he could revive passively.

Still, Wu Xing did not want to simply leave it at that. He said, "Xiao Wu, how about this? Wait for now. When the Diary rewards a better skill someday, I'll definitely agree to resurrect Ah Rou."

Wu Xing did not address Xiao Wu's Mother with a respectful title, but directly called her Ah Rou. His lecherous intentions were obvious to all.

Dugu Yan was the first to notice. Before this guy had even met her grandfather, he had called him Elder Dugu. Yet now, when addressing Xiao Wu's mother, he directly and intimately called her Ah Rou. The more she thought about it, the more terrifying it became.

This bastard liked older women. It was confirmed!

"Really, Brother Wu?" A glimmer of light flashed through Xiao Wu's originally gloomy expression as she stared intently at Wu Xing.

She knew that coming to him this time might not succeed, but taking action was better than doing nothing. At least there was a chance, even if it ultimately led to disappointment.

"Of course it's true." Wu Xing nodded with a smile, then casually patted her head to comfort her. "Besides, the Diary Instance isn't as simple as you think. Perhaps as it upgrades, you may receive similar rewards yourselves. When that time comes, perhaps you won't even need me to act."

"Th-thank you for telling me, Brother Wu." Xiao Wu was moved.

She automatically ignored Wu Xing's intimate gesture of touching her head. As a soul beast, she naturally enjoyed being stroked like that. It was only after transforming into a human and learning the customs of the human world that she gradually understood some intimate behavior was not permitted.

But who was Wu Xing? He was the Diary Owner. With that status, she only felt that he was sincerely caring for her like an older brother.

"You're welcome. Mutual help is the purpose of the Diary Instance," Wu Xing said with a smile.

"Mm." Xiao Wu nodded happily, then seemed to think of something. "Brother Wu, let's add each other as friends."

"Alright." Wu Xing agreed without hesitation.

Even if she had not brought it up, he would have taken the initiative to add her as a friend. This was an indispensable step before putting horns on Tang San.

"Brother Wu, let's add each other as friends too." Ning Rongrong, who had not spoken until now, watched Xiao Wu and Wu Xing add each other as friends, then asked expectantly.

"No problem." Wu Xing answered with a smile, then added Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing as friends as well.

With that, his first step was complete.

Looking at the Three Beauties of Shrek Academy in the Friend List on the Diary panel, Wu Xing secretly laughed. Double Standard Tang San, are you ready?

Ning Rongrong Takes the Initiative

"By the way, Brother Wu, do you still have any Immortal Herbs that you mentioned last time?"

After adding him as a friend, Ning Rongrong was the first to ask.

She had been unable to insert herself into Xiao Wu's matter just now. Now that she had an opportunity, she naturally would not end things so easily. At the very least, she could not leave before making an impression on him.

"Yes. Do you want some?" Wu Xing smiled.

He had received over a hundred Immortal Herbs. Even if he gave one to every Diary holder on the Douluo Continent, there should be no problem.

It showed just how selfish Double Standard Tang San was. He called Dugu Bo his brother, yet in the end did not even give a single Immortal Herb to his granddaughter.

"Yes." Ning Rongrong nodded without hesitation. She was determined to obtain the Immortal Herb that could evolve the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

Of course, she had no intention of taking it for free. She opened her Storage Spirit Tool, searched for a while, and took out a card gleaming with golden light. "Brother Wu, there are five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins here. I'll buy three plants from you."

"Three?" Wu Xing asked in surprise.

"Yes. One each for me, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Qing," Ning Rongrong hurriedly explained.

Wu Xing had said in the Diary that each person could only purchase one plant. Naturally, she remembered.

"It seems you three have a very good relationship." Wu Xing could not help smiling. At the same time, he inwardly marveled that the girls in Douluo were all wealthy young ladies. They could take out a hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins without even blinking.

First there had been Ye Lingling, and now Ning Rongrong. She was even more extravagant, casually offering five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.

Based on the goods he had bought yesterday, Wu Xing roughly understood the value of Gold Soul Coins in this world. One Gold Soul Coin was worth at least a hundred yuan from his previous life, so five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins was equivalent to at least fifty million.

If that was not rich, what was?

"Hehe, Brother Wu, the three of us are the best of sisters," Ning Rongrong said with a giggle.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing had originally not wanted Ning Rongrong to pay for them, but they truly did not have a hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins on them. Considering that the number of Immortal Herbs might be limited, they could only slowly repay her later.

Wu Xing smiled again, then handed the Golden Soul Card to Su Ruoxi. However, she did not immediately take it and hesitated. "Wu Xing, I... I don't have two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins on me."

As soon as Su Ruoxi finished speaking, her face flushed red. She had less than one hundred and ten thousand Gold Soul Coins in total, and a hundred thousand of them had been entrusted to her by Ling Ling after her man sold something to her last time.

"Little Sister Ruo Xi, I have some on me. I'll get it for you first." Before Wu Xing could speak, Ye Lingling had already stepped in to help Su Ruoxi out.

"No, no, there's no need to go through so much trouble. Just let Brother Wu hold it. I'm not in a hurry to use it." Seeing this, Ning Rongrong hurriedly waved her hand.

She had been thinking about how to create more ties with Wu Xing. She would love for the two hundred thousand to remain with him, so why would she waste such a heaven-sent opportunity?

Ning Rongrong's thoughts were exactly what Wu Xing wanted. He said, "Since Rongrong trusts me, I'll hold onto it for now and settle it with you another day."

"Alright, Brother Wu." Ning Rongrong agreed happily.

As they spoke, Wu Xing had already taken out three Immortal Herbs and handed them to Ning Rongrong. Pointing at them one by one, he introduced them. "This is Aromatic Silk Beauty, suitable for Rongrong's martial soul. This Water Lily Jade Bone is suitable for Zhu Qing's martial soul. And this is Tender Rose Reflection, suitable for Xiao Wu's martial soul."

He did not take out Lovesick Heartbreak Red. If he gave that Immortal Herb to Xiao Wu and it recognized her as its master, while the person she loved was Tang San, would he not just be shooting himself in the foot? Therefore, he replaced it with another Immortal Herb suited to her Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul.

"Mm, thank you, Brother Wu." Ning Rongrong nodded and handed the other two Immortal Herbs to Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.

"You're welcome. You paid for them," Wu Xing teased with a chuckle.

"We should still thank you, Brother Wu. The value of these Immortal Herbs is far more than a hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins to us. Xiao Wu, Zhu Qing, and I have already gained a huge advantage."

Ning Rongrong was telling the truth. Considering the value of these Immortal Herbs, even if they were sold for a million Gold Soul Coins each, countless soul masters would probably scramble to buy them.

After watching the Three Beauties of Shrek Academy happily hold the Immortal Herbs and admire them for a while before storing them in their Soul Tools, Wu Xing finally asked, "Xiao Wu, Rongrong, Zhu Qing, is there anything else?"
