I could no longer remember clearly what happened after Jia Nan Academy; I had to rely on the Diary to help restore my memories.

Diary, what exactly are you? Don't you have an Artifact Spirit?

You never responded to me, only demanded that I write in my diary. What deeper meaning was there behind that?

Three sentences left The Women enlightened.

For now, Chu Xiao only retained detailed memories of the next few years.

For anything further in the future, he only remembered certain major events and important information.

If he wanted to recover more detailed memories, he had to keep writing in the Diary every day.

He had mentioned the reason earlier: he had sacrificed his true spirit and burned his Primal Dharma Body, so his true spirit had already shattered. It was fortunate enough that he had not perished. His ability to be reborn was most likely a reward from the Azure Sky Chart, though he still did not know the truth of what had happened.

Now that he was trying to communicate with the Diary, it was completely understandable.

But to satisfy the Diary's requirements, you had already gone to such great lengths.

Shouldn't you explain what you ultimately couldn't resist doing that gave you such a headache?

As though he had sensed what The Women were thinking, Chu Xiao promptly gave them an answer.

Sure enough, asking was pointless. I should just keep worrying about Xun Er.

In my previous life, the current me still didn't know what feelings I had for her, but in this life, I was very clear about it.

With a second chance, Saint-Rank Heaven Supreme is no longer my goal. This time, I will ascend to the pinnacle of the Ruler realm. The Ancient Clan cannot pressure me at all.

I couldn't resist and confessed my feelings to her. She didn't know I was reborn, yet she still agreed, and she showed me trust and anticipation.

"Isn't that normal? What's there to worry about?"

The Women were utterly confused.

If they were Chu Xiao, destined to become a powerhouse at or above the Dou Emperor level in the future—

—and were given the chance to be reborn in their youth, they too would be unable to resist coming clean with their childhood sweetheart and beloved at the first opportunity.

Did he have to deliberately wait until he was strong enough?

The sooner you got together, the sooner you enjoyed it~

In my previous life, Xun Er confessed to me. When we confirmed our feelings for each other, I had already become entangled with Xiao Yi Xian, Yun Yun, and Cai Lin in unclear ways. So when I eventually made my relationships with them public, although Xun Er felt wronged, she still accepted it.

But in this life, I have essentially confirmed my relationship with Xun Er. If I go flirting with Xiao Yi Xian, Yun Yun, and Cai Lin under these circumstances, wouldn't that make me a scumbag?

Although strength reigned supreme on the Dou Qi Continent, and taking multiple wives and concubines was nothing unusual, if I did not reveal that I was reborn, then in the eyes of outsiders, Xun Er was the daughter of the Ancient Clan's chief, while I was merely a relative by marriage from the fallen Xiao Clan. The difference between us was like heaven and earth.

Under such circumstances, if I still dared to pursue other women, many people would probably think me shameless.

The Women:!!

Now that you mentioned it...

They had not thought too deeply about it before, so they had not felt this way.

But after hearing Chu Xiao put it that way, they realized that was indeed the case.

For some things, order was crucial. Get it wrong, and even the original wife could become the mistress.

No wonder a reborn Saint-Rank Heaven Supreme like him still had such a headache.

"Actually, it's very simple. Wouldn't it be enough if there was only Xun Er?" Xun Er wrinkled her delicate nose.

She felt that the decision she had made with Chu Xiao not long ago, when they had pinky-sworn, was quite right.

Brother Chu Xiao, that big flirt, ought to suffer a headache for a while.

As for being his only wife, it was a wonderful thought, but she knew it was unrealistic.

Because she knew Chu Xiao was reborn. As a man—and an ultimate powerhouse—how could he possibly give up the feelings he had once possessed?

The next moment, that thought was confirmed.

At the same time, she found herself better able to convince herself.

If I had only remembered the future involving Xun Er, then living in mutual respect with her, one lifetime with one love, would have been enough.

But I also remembered so many moments with Xiao Yi Xian, Yun Yun, and Cai Lin.

"Oh my!" Cao Ying became even more engrossed in the gossip.

Xiao Yi Xian, Yun Yun, and Medusa, whose names had been mentioned, were curious but also somewhat apprehensive.

Fortunately, aside from Chu Xiao, the writer, only they themselves could see this copy.

Even if he wrote something shocking, it would not be too embarrassing.

If Xun Er was my childhood sweetheart and unattainable first love, later becoming the goal I strove toward and pursued—

—then Xiao Yi Xian was the woman I felt I had let down the most, and the one who accompanied me the longest. Companionship was the longest confession of love. She and I both knew that, yet in the end, I never married her as my Imperial Concubine.

Xiao Yi Xian:!

"Companionship is the longest confession of love?"

Then Yun Yun was, after I had first begun to understand love between a man and a woman, the one with whom I experienced a passionate encounter due to an accident. She was the first to stir my heart. Together with all we went through, in a sense, she was my first love. She was so pure—a Dou Emperor who had dominated the Jia Ma Empire, falling in love with a mere Dou Master like me.

"An accident? A passionate encounter?"

"Pure? First love?"

Seeing these words, Yun Yun landed atop a mountain peak.

She was afraid that if she kept flying, one careless breath might make her crash into a cliff.

She had actually fallen in love with a Dou Master?

Then Cai Lin represented the base nature of me as a man. From the first moment I saw her, I wanted to possess her. Due to an accident, we really did end up together, and she even bore me a daughter. She was someone I owed greatly—no, my wife.

"A daughter!"

"Wife!"

An unusual feeling rose in Medusa's heart.

Because she believed all this information was real, even someone as domineering and proud as her became somewhat reserved, like a young woman experiencing love for the first time.

I truly could not bear to part with them.

Han Yue and Han Xue:?

Did we have nothing to do with this?

"Am I really just a mount?" Feng Qing Er frowned.

It was not that she wanted to become Chu Xiao's woman, much less his mount.

Even knowing that Chu Xiao might become a powerhouse beyond the Dou Emperor realm in the future, she had no intention of currying favor with him.

Because she had obtained the Diary Copy. As long as she gleaned the information Chu Xiao revealed, she would have a chance to defy fate and rewrite her destiny.

She, Feng Qing Er, also had a chance to become a Saint-Rank Heaven Supreme.

Then she would make Chu Xiao her mount. Hmph!

But that was one thing, and this was another. She was so beautiful—was that man truly not tempted in the slightest?

The other women who held copies but had not had their names mentioned also felt somewhat jealous.

But Chu Xiao clearly had no intention of satisfying them. He continued writing on his own, beginning to wrap up today's entry.

When the boat reached the bridge, the way would reveal itself. I can only take one step at a time. In any case, I definitely cannot give them up.

But Xun Er and I have only just confirmed our relationship. I definitely cannot rush to find Xiao Yi Xian and bring her back to Wutan City.

"Wutan City!"

At that moment, The Women all learned Chu Xiao's exact location.

The Xiao Family of Wutan City, in the Jia Ma Empire, a remote region of the Northwest Continent.

"So he's in Wutan City!" Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful eyes blinked, and a smile blossomed on her face. "You can't come find me, but I can come find you."

Yes, she had no interest in Chu Xiao. She merely felt that when he saw her, he would reveal some information in the Diary.

She only wanted to know what was wrong with her body!

That was all.
