In Douluo, All the Goddesses Collapse

Wu Xing knew her so well and even knew about her family. The next time they met, she had to ask him how to break the fate of her family.

The fifth was another one of the Three Beauties of Shrek Academy. There was probably no need for an introduction—she was Xiao Wu.

Her martial soul was the Soft Bone Rabbit, but her true body was her martial soul itself. She was a transformed hundred-thousand-year soul beast.

After Ah Rou was hunted down by the beautiful Dong'er, she came to the human world and met that hypocritical king, Tang San. He treated her as his personal possession and refused to let anyone approach her, not even his own brothers. The slightest sign of interest was enough to make him turn hostile.

And that pervert's desire for control went far beyond that. As the saying went, when Xiao Wu was hurt, Tang San went berserk; when Xiao Wu sacrificed herself, his power became boundless. In short, her being alive affected the Child of Fortune's performance.

Ahem, seems I got a little off track. I was ranking Xiao Wu's strength, so why did I start talking about that little bastard again?

My apologies, ladies. I couldn't help myself for a moment.

Influenced by the beautiful Ah Rou, Xiao Wu had a lively and cheerful personality. She loved standing up for others, treated every friend around her well, and valued friendship deeply. That was why she ended up being... Er, I got sidetracked again.

In any case, Xiao Wu was very kind and valued emotional bonds. After learning that I possessed the Resurrection Technique, she immediately came to ask me to revive you, beautiful Ah Rou.

You needn't worry either, beautiful Ah Rou. Xiao Wu was doing very well. Once the cooldown time for my Resurrection Technique was reduced, I would revive you so mother and daughter could reunite.

I placed her fifth because by the end of Douluo 1, not only had her Soul Power reached level 96, but she also possessed abundant combat experience. She was agile and adaptable, and challenging opponents above her level was no problem for her.

Pure Land World.

Seeing her daughter appear on the Diary Owner's list, Ah Rou was delighted and happy for her daughter's future accomplishments.

But when she saw that her daughter had been treated as Tang San's personal possession, her heart leapt into her throat.

After Wu Xing's analysis, she had no favorable impression whatsoever of this so-called Child of Fortune, this world's protagonist. She even found him deeply repulsive.

How could she stand by and watch her daughter jump into such a pit of fire? She could only hope that her daughter would see the truth through the Diary soon.

She did not want her daughter to become a tool, a tool for the protagonist's advancement. She would rather not have such a female lead at all.

Then, seeing Wu Xing agree to revive her and reunite her with her daughter, Ah Rou was deeply moved.

Soul beasts were different from humans. They understood how to repay kindness, remembered it for their entire lives, and after being revived, she would surely repay this benefactor properly...

This Wasn't Scientific ### That was enough ranking for today. I'll leave a little suspense, and tomorrow we'll continue with the remaining few.

See you tomorrow, ladies. We won't part until then.

Wu Xing paused there, intending to end today's Diary.

But this approach nearly infuriated many Diary holders, especially the many beauties of the Douluo Continent.

They had just gotten interested, their skirts were practically off, and then he pulled something like this?

May all chapter-cutting bastards die miserable deaths!

"This damn Black Fan."

Spirit City, Pope's bedchamber. When Bibi Dong saw Wu Xing suddenly announce that today's ranking would end here, she was furious enough that the peaks before her chest seemed to swell a little more.

This was the second person she had hated this much. The first was Qian Xunji; the second was this Diary Owner.

Being a Black Fan was one thing. She could endure that. As the great Pope, why would she care about others' opinions?

But this time, he had already stirred her lust—no, her interest—so why was he playing this suspenseful nonsense? That frustrating feeling of being left hanging was unbearable.

If one of her subordinates dared act like this while making a report, they would have died countless times over.

Besides, judging from the Soul Power Levels he had ranked, she would definitely be on the list, and undoubtedly in first place.

Her prestige had yet to be displayed, the women of the Anime Multiverse had yet to behold it, and he had cut it off right there. How could she not be angry?

"Bastard! When you come to Spirit City, I'll stuff my foot in your mouth and let you play at cutting chapters!"

The more Bibi Dong thought about it, the angrier and more wronged she felt. He kept claiming that he loved the Three Beauties of the Spirit Hall most, yet in the end, all he did was praise the Three Beauties of Shrek Academy.

Tiandou Imperial Palace.

Qian Renxue, who had always maintained a calm demeanor because of her disguise, was somewhat annoyed as well.

She had wanted to hear whether she would make the list, and if she did, what Wu Xing's evaluation of her would be. Yet he had pulled this stunt instead.

Chapter-cutting bastards were the most despicable!

Shrek Academy.

When Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing saw Wu Xing suddenly stop updating, their brows twitched as well.

They had been enjoying it, their interest was at its peak, and then he said that was all for now—and there was no more afterward?

When the day comes that I hold a blade, I'll slaughter every chapter-cutting bastard under heaven!

Ning Rongrong immediately opened the Diary's Friend List and sent a message, complete with an angry text emoji.

Not only those beauties—even Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling nearly failed to catch their breath when they saw it.

"Wu Xing, why did you stop updating?!" Dugu Yan was the most direct, demanding furiously.

Ye Lingling said nothing, but she gave Wu Xing a resentful look, as though saying, Husband, you really went too far this time.

"Aha, isn't this just how normal storytelling works?" Wu Xing hastily laughed it off when he saw the two women's expressions.

"Hmph, I don't care. I want to hear more." Dugu Yan began acting spoiled.

Wu Xing felt awkward as he coaxed her. "Be good, don't make a fuss. Tomorrow will be the same."

"You only know how to bully me." Dugu Yan pouted, her cheeks puffed out like an aggrieved little wife.

Wu Xing did not know whether to laugh or cry. How had he bullied her again?

"Alright, husband should draw the reward first." Wu Xing shook his head helplessly and said with a smile.

Dugu Yan could only let it go. She decided that if this guy did the same thing tomorrow, she would bite him hard.

After finally calming things down, Wu Xing communicated with the system. "System, claim the reward."

Ding: Detected that the host has updated a Diary entry. Reward: one Skill Cooldown Card.

Skill Cooldown Card: After use, it can reset the cooldown time of a skill once. (Disappears after use.)

"Hmm?!"

Upon hearing the reward item, Wu Xing immediately examined it. When he saw the Skill Cooldown Card's details, he could not help but feel surprised.

He had not expected the system to really give him a reward that could reduce a skill's cooldown. Was it determined to make him revive Ah Rou?

"Husband, what reward did you get?" Seeing Wu Xing's surprise, Ye Lingling felt a trace of curiosity rise in her heart.

Dugu Yan also looked over upon hearing Ye Lingling's question, her face full of curiosity.

"Take a look." Wu Xing took out the reward and placed it on the table.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were equally surprised when they saw it. It was equivalent to getting one free use of the Resurrection Technique.

"Husband, which Diary sister are you planning to revive?" Ye Lingling asked.

She had already learned from the Diary that some of these copy holders even came from the Pure Land World.

Wu Xing thought for a moment before answering, "We'll see later. I haven't decided who to revive yet."

Since there was a reward like the Cooldown Card, the system would probably offer more in the future, so there was no need to care too much. It was just that he had not yet decided whom to revive.

His highest-priority candidate was not Xiao Wu's mother, but Ah Yin.

After all, she was Tang San's mother. Although that guy had undergone Soul Transmigration and seized another body, his bloodline remained. Even if he wanted to change it, he could not.

Since he was going to torment that little bastard Tang San thoroughly, what could be more satisfying than taking his mother for himself?

The only problem was that he did not know Ah Yin's current condition. If she still had feelings for Tang Hao after being revived, that would be a huge loss.

Previously, he had only briefly mentioned things in the Diary and had not truly exposed Tang Hao's true nature.

Wu Xing's answer surprised Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan. They had thought their man would revive Xiao Wu's mother.

Of course, since their man said so, he surely had his own considerations, so neither woman said anything further.

"Enough of that. Let's draw the tiles instead." Wu Xing cast aside the thoughts in his mind and smilingly took out two Jade Tokens.

When Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling saw Wu Xing take out the Jade Tokens, both blushed deeply, overwhelmed by bashfulness.

After calming the nervousness in her heart, Dugu Yan hurriedly said, "Wu Xing, it's not even nighttime yet."

"It's fine. That kind of thing doesn't have to be done at night." Wu Xing chuckled.

In an instant, both women blushed even more, wishing they could flee.

Looking at the two shy women, Wu Xing's lips curved upward. "For fairness, and to stop someone from going back on her word, you two mix them up. Husband won't look."

After saying that, Wu Xing turned around with a smile.

Looking at the two Jade Tokens on the table, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling felt even more embarrassed. Still, they understood that this day would come eventually, and neither minded giving herself to the man she loved.

In the end, Ye Lingling was the one who took the initiative to reach out and randomly spin the two Jade Tokens around until she finally stopped after a while.

Hearing the movement stop, Wu Xing, still turned away, asked with a smile, "Ready?"

"Y-yes..." Ye Lingling replied softly.

Only then did Wu Xing turn around. Seeing the bashful, timid looks in the two women's eyes, he did not hesitate at all before picking up one Jade Token and flipping it over.

As the Jade Token was revealed, it showed Dugu Yan's portrait.

Seeing that it was Sister Yanyan's Jade Token, Ye Lingling's tense heart relaxed, but she also felt a little disappointed.

Of course, it was not because she was jealous of Dugu Yan. It was simply a girl's contradictory state of mind.

"Th-this isn't scientific!" When Dugu Yan saw that it was her Jade Token again, she was too embarrassed to lift her head.

Two days. Two days in a row. Why was it always her?!!!

Dugu Yan Takes Her First Step ### The sun sank westward, and night fell.

Thin moonlight streamed through the window into a dormitory at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

After Ye Lingling left, the atmosphere in the room became subtle, as though the air itself was filled with ambiguity.

Dugu Yan sat upright on the sofa, her fair little hands tightly clutching the white lace trim of her jade-green short skirt, revealing the nervousness in her heart.

Her bewitching snake-like pupils darted around as though she were avoiding some natural predator.

Leaning against the headboard, Wu Xing watched Dugu Yan's adorable appearance, so completely unlike her personality, with a smile. He found it rather amusing.

This little girl had already slept beside him yesterday, yet she was still this shy today.

As though sensing Wu Xing's gaze, Dugu Yan's body instantly stiffened. Her wandering eyes withdrew, and her snow-white legs beneath her short skirt pressed tightly together, like a beautiful work of art.

Wu Xing watched the scene with amusement. After a moment, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly as he called out, "Yan."

Hearing Wu Xing call her, Dugu Yan's heart trembled. Her stiff neck slowly turned toward him, and she swallowed with difficulty before speaking.

"W-what?"

"You remember what someone promised this morning, right?" Wu Xing looked at Dugu Yan with a teasing smile.

"I remember..." Dugu Yan answered softly, her face red.

It was precisely because she remembered that she was so nervous. And precisely because she understood what would happen tonight that she was even shyer than she had been last night.

"Then why aren't you coming over? Don't tell me you want to go back on your word?" Wu Xing patted the bed, the smile on his face growing wider.

Dugu Yan's body trembled again at his words, but she obediently stood from the sofa, walked slowly to the bed, and carefully sat down.

Of course she would not go back on her word. It was merely a girl's reserve that made her embarrassed.

Seeing Dugu Yan act as though she were walking on thin ice, Wu Xing said nothing and simply wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her over in one motion.

Dugu Yan immediately fell toward Wu Xing, letting out a startled cry as she hurriedly covered her flushed face with her hands.

How could Wu Xing miss the chance to admire the lovely girl before him? He reached out and moved away the little hands hiding her pretty face.

But after doing so, he could not help but laugh. The little girl had her eyes tightly shut, her long lashes trembling constantly.

He said nothing and did not ask her to open her eyes. He merely admired her beautiful face like that.

Although Dugu Yan was not as breathtaking as the Three Beauties of Shrek Academy five years later, nor as seductive as Hu Liena, as noble as Qian Renxue, or as mature and charming as beautiful Dong'er, she possessed a unique charm of the girl next door.
