Qian Renxue Licks a Lollipop

That was all for today's update. Sometimes, nothing happened around me, and I had no idea what to write. What a headache.

It'd be great if there were some kind of video creation feature. I could put together some epic scenes for you all and broaden everyone's horizons.

Still, if I remembered correctly, this should be the thirtieth diary entry I've written. I wondered whether the Diary would level up after this update. You beautiful ladies could look forward to it.

Wu Xing stopped writing and communicated with the system to claim his reward, feeling somewhat expectant.

The system had risen to Level 2 after he finished updating a week's worth of Diary entries. Today happened to mark one month.

Ding: Detected that the host has updated a Diary entry. Reward obtained: Youth-Preserving Pill x10.

Youth-Preserving Pill: Preserves one's appearance at its peak throughout one's life, until death.

Youth-Preserving Pills? Wu Xing was somewhat surprised by the reward, but he did not get overly excited.

How should he put it? It was not necessarily all that precious, yet it was not entirely worthless either.

As for why, setting aside other worlds, in the Douluo world, this thing was practically useless. As long as one reached the rank of Titled Douluo, one could use Soul Power to preserve one's appearance.

Just look at Qian Daoliu, Bo Saixi, and Tang Chen. As for Dugu Bo, he only looked like an old man because of the poison in his body. That was enough to show how useless the Youth-Preserving Pill was.

He did not believe that these beautiful women from the Douluo world who possessed Diary Instances would ultimately fail to reach the rank of Titled Douluo.

Still, saying it was completely useless did not seem right either. After all, for the Diary beauties in certain worlds, Youth-Preserving Pills were still extremely precious.

Ding: Detected that the host has continuously updated the Diary for one month. The Diary System has leveled up. Current level: LV3.

LV3 Diary System. The following functions have been unlocked.

1: Trading Function unlocked. Rewards obtained through the Diary may be freely traded, limited to Diary Instance holders only.

2: To facilitate transactions, the Trading Platform has been unlocked. Details may be viewed through the Diary interface. Cross-dimensional trading is currently unavailable within each world.

Sure enough, the Diary System had leveled up!

Hearing the system prompt, Wu Xing was not particularly surprised. Going by the usual tropes of all the system novels he had read, it would either be one month or one year.

Now that it had leveled up after one month, the next upgrade would probably require a year.

Wu Xing could understand the newly unlocked Diary feature. After all, the Check-in rewards each Diary Instance holder received after reading the Diary were random, and those items might not necessarily be what they needed.

This way, they could meet face-to-face or use the Trading Platform to circulate goods among themselves.

"Hubby, the Diary System leveled up." Just as Wu Xing was marveling at how user-friendly the system was, Su Ruoxi asked excitedly.

"Mm." Wu Xing nodded and looked at Su Ruoxi and the other two women. "You can take a look first."

The three women nodded at his words, then opened the functions interface in their Diaries and began examining it.

Wu Xing was no exception. He opened the Diary interface and clicked on the trading center. A platform resembling one from a game popped up, though it was completely empty for now.

To test the Trading Function, Wu Xing selected an Immortal Herb from the Diary Warehouse, priced it at one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, and clicked the listing button. A line of text immediately appeared.

Ding: This is not a system reward and cannot be listed.

Fine then. This Trading Platform only allowed rewards produced by the system to be bought and sold.

Ding: You have successfully listed Alps Lollipop x1. Price: 1 Gold Soul Coin.

After selecting the Lollipop, the listing succeeded as expected, and an image of a Lollipop appeared on the previously empty interface.

When he clicked the image, the details of the Lollipop popped up as well.

Note: A type of candy from the world the Diary Owner lived in before transmigrating. Sweet and refreshing, with a rich texture. Unwrap and consume.

Seeing this, Wu Xing immediately understood how to use the Trading Platform.

Ding: Your listed Alps Lollipop x1 has been sold. 0.95 Gold Soul Coins have been transferred to your Diary account.

Wu Xing suddenly noticed a red number 1 in the lower-right corner of the platform interface. He clicked it curiously and saw this message.

Damn it, this shitty system even charged a transaction fee!

Wu Xing quickly realized what had happened and immediately cursed the shameless system. He had listed it for one Gold Soul Coin, but only received 0.95 Gold Soul Coins.

Meanwhile, while Wu Xing was cursing the system for being a scam, inside the Crown Prince's Mansion of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at the strange candy in her hand.

This was probably the candy the Diary Owner had listed. Only he could possess rewards like this.

Following the instructions provided by the Diary Instance, she unwrapped the nylon wrapper and placed it in her mouth without much hesitation.

It was sweet!

There was also a rich milky flavor.

Very quickly, Qian Renxue came to like the taste of the candy.

Her beautiful red lips parted slightly as she put the Lollipop back into her mouth. From time to time, she even extended her fragrant tongue to suck on it.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, her lashes fluttered, and paired with that peerless face, she perfectly embodied the phrase "a beauty as flawless as jade."

Yet no one was there to appreciate such a seductive sight.

After a while, she noticed the notification that the Diary had updated. Only then did she pause slightly, grasping the Lollipop in her hand as she opened the Diary Instance.

Beautiful ladies, the system really did level up, and it even unlocked the Trading Function. This means everyone can use the Diary's Trading Platform to get what they need.

It's a little regrettable that, for now, trading can only take place within each world.

Of course, cross-dimensional buying and selling should be unlocked in the future.

But one annoying thing is that this shitty system deducts transaction fees. I tested it just now, and it took 5 percent.

I suspect that once Cross-Dimensional Trading becomes available someday, the fee will probably be even higher.

Also, if you don't mind me asking, who bought my candy just now?

I have to say, you moved really fast. I'd barely had it listed for two seconds before you bought it.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue lowered her head slightly and looked at the glistening Lollipop in her hand. A smile appeared on her face as she extended her fragrant tongue and licked it again.

In the bedroom, Dugu Yan saw Wu Xing's update and hurriedly asked, "Candy? What candy? Wu Xing, what did you just sell?"

"A Lollipop." After answering, Wu Xing did not forget to glance at Su Ruoxi, a mischievous smile curling across his face.

When Su Ruoxi saw that mischievous smile on her man's face, she suddenly recalled what had happened earlier. Her face instantly turned bright red.

"What is that?" Dugu Yan failed to notice the interaction between Wu Xing and Su Ruoxi and asked again.

Wu Xing did not explain. He took out three from the Diary Warehouse and handed one to each of them. "This is it. It's a type of candy from my hometown. Ruo Xi, teach them how to taste it. There'll be a reward if you teach them well."

Seeing Wu Xing smiling at her, Su Ruoxi's face turned even redder. Naturally, she understood the hidden meaning behind her man's words.

This bad guy!

Just as Wu Xing's teasing left Su Ruoxi too embarrassed to lift her head, Dugu Yan foolishly said something that nearly made her lose it.

"Sister Ruo Xi, is it difficult to learn?"

Dugu Yan tilted her head as she looked at Su Ruoxi.

Su Ruoxi opened her mouth, then finally squeezed out one word. "Difficult..."

How could it not be? There were simply too many things to pay attention to!

Flipping the Plaques

Because the Diary System had unlocked the Trading Function, countless beautiful women carefully studied it. As they gradually became familiar with it, some items began appearing one after another on the previously empty Trading Platform.

However, extremely rare and invaluable items to Soul Masters, such as Spirit Fragments, did not appear.

Even though they were merely fragments and ten were needed to obtain a second Spirit, no one would be foolish enough to put them up for sale.

Among the three women, Su Ruoxi had one, Dugu Yan also had one, while Ye Lingling had two.

Once they saw that trading was possible, the three women wanted to give the Spirit Fragments to Wu Xing.

Wu Xing was deeply moved to see the girls hand over their Spirit Fragments without hesitation. After all, these things were simply too precious to Soul Masters, hundreds or even thousands of times more valuable than Perfect Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Rings or Immortal Herbs.

"I have no use for these Spirit Fragments. Discuss it among yourselves and pool them together. When the time comes, let one of you awaken a second Spirit first, then help the next person gather theirs. That way, they'll have the greatest effect."

For one person to gather ten Spirit Fragments would take a very long time. Judging from their current numbers, it might take a year at best, or even ten years or several decades at worst. This thing depended entirely on luck.

But if three people pooled their fragments to first complete one set, the odds would be much greater. They would not have to worry about waiting endlessly just because of the final fragment.

After offering his suggestion, Wu Xing returned the Spirit Fragments to them. He himself possessed every Spirit, so he had no use for them.

Su Ruoxi did not take hers back. Instead, she said, "Hubby, we're your women. Even if we pool them, we should gather yours first."

Though Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling said nothing, they nodded beside her, agreeing with Su Ruoxi.

"You women don't need to gather them for me." Wu Xing smiled and shook his head before explaining, "To tell you the truth, my Spirit is actually called the Heart of Origin. Its ability is to generate every Spirit. In other words, I can use the Spirits of every one of you, including every Soul Master."

Since they had all been completely open with him, there was no need for Wu Xing to hide this from the three women.

"It can generate every... every Spirit!" The three women were instantly dumbfounded after hearing this. Wu Xing had completely shocked them.

Being able to use the Spirits of every Soul Master—if they had not heard it with their own ears, they could not have imagined such a Spirit existed even in their dreams.

No wonder Wu Xing had said in the Diary that his Spirit defied the heavens. Now they finally understood what a truly heaven-defying Spirit was.

After a while, Dugu Yan suddenly thought of something and asked in confusion, "Didn't you say before that you had another Spirit?"

"Yes, a hundred million Spirits, not one Spirit." Seeing Dugu Yan's silly expression, Wu Xing replied with a smile.

"A hundred... a hundred million!" Dugu Yan nearly bit her tongue off.

But if he could generate the Spirits of all Soul Masters, then a hundred million was indeed correct. So this guy had deliberately used a homophone last time to make them misunderstand.

"Don't you also have Perfect Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring Fragments? You can pool those too. Whoever reaches the point where they can absorb a Soul Ring can use them first."

Wu Xing continued speaking slowly. He wanted his women to treat one another as family, without distinction.

"Mm." The three women nodded. Aside from Dugu Yan, who had not understood what Wu Xing meant, both Su Ruoxi and Ye Lingling understood.

Of course, though Dugu Yan did not understand, she was the most straightforward of them all and would not fuss over it.

Her feelings could not be hidden. Whether she liked something or disliked it, it was written plainly across her face.

Seeing the girls gather together to deepen their sisterly bond after hearing his suggestion, Wu Xing did not intend to join them and instead walked to one side.

He took three beautiful Jade Tokens from the Diary Warehouse. Each one was half the size of a palm. They were system rewards, and he had a full three thousand of them.

As for their use, aside from looking pretty, they were actually useless. They could neither improve the wearer's cultivation speed nor increase anyone's bond.

Yet Wu Xing focused intently as he circulated his Soul Power and began carefully carving them.

As he carved, he occasionally looked up at the three women discussing things together.

Before long, the outline of a woman appeared on the first Jade Token. By the time he finished, it was clearly Su Ruoxi.

The Su Ruoxi inside the Jade Token was lifelike, as though she had been printed onto it.

Wu Xing examined it and was quite satisfied with his work. Thinking of something, he carved her name beneath the portrait.

Once he finished all that, he repeated the process, though this time he carved Ye Lingling's portrait.

By the time he was carving the third Jade Token, the three women noticed what their man was doing and curiously came closer.

"Wow, it's so beautiful. This is your portrait, Ling Ling." Su Ruoxi picked up one of the Jade Tokens lying beside him, turned it over, and immediately exclaimed in delight.

Ye Lingling looked over at once, her beautiful eyes flickering. The portrait carved onto it was not merely similar to her—it was exactly the same.

I never expected him to have such a skill. Ye Lingling stared at Wu Xing, who was still carving seriously, her eyes filled with infatuation.

"Wu Xing, are these gifts you plan to give us?" Dugu Yan looked at the Jade Token bearing her likeness, which Wu Xing was about to finish carving, and asked joyfully.

The Jade Token was already beautiful, and now it bore her image. She could not bear to put it down.

At Dugu Yan's question, both Su Ruoxi and Ye Lingling revealed expectant expressions. Yet Wu Xing's next answer left them stunned.

"Of course not." A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Wu Xing's mouth.

What a joke. He was planning to use these to flip plaques, satisfying his own little perverse hobby.

He had wanted to do this in his previous life for a long time, but aside from his looks, neither his strength nor his money had permitted it.

Now that he had transmigrated into this world and had three girlfriends, he could finally fulfill the wishes of his fellow readers.

"Not?" After a moment of stunned silence, the three women were completely confused.
