He nodded and agreed, then chuckled. "Junior Sister, your aura seems unsteady. You've only just broken through, so you should get plenty of rest."
No one else knew, but he knew all too well.
After all, the Saintess before him was the holder of the Diary Instance!
Seeing Su Changqing agree, and hearing his sudden concern...
Ling Qianxue nodded shyly, but just then, she saw the Diary Instance update.
[The person I most want to see—my junior sister, who is also my wife—has come to find me...]
[In the future, we'll fight side by side. We'll even leave the Nine Profound Heavens to resist the Dark Turmoil across the myriad heavens. But... you'll burn your soul to save me, dying together with those damned bastards and leaving me all alone!]
[For all those years afterward, I struggled and hated myself. Why couldn't I protect you? Why wasn't I the one who died? The one left alive... is the one who suffers most!]
[I once said I'd crush the nine heavens and ten earths and shatter every illusion to avenge you. Even though I lived to the very end... I still failed!]
[I'm sorry...]
[Ten thousand years have passed. Now that I've been reborn, my junior sister is still alive. She looks just like I remember, still so young. It's wonderful...]
[All these years of longing came rushing back at once. My junior sister is right here in front of me, and I... really want to hug you, hold your hand again, and tell you how much I've missed you!]
[But... my junior sister doesn't yet know what the future holds for us!]
How am I supposed to explain this to her? How can I express how much I've missed her?
[Never mind. This is fine, too. But in this lifetime, I want to meet my junior sister sooner, get to know her sooner, and fall in love with her sooner!]
[If I still can't change the ending, then I hope you can stay happy until the destruction comes in this lifetime.]
As she read the Diary Instance's latest entries,
Ling Qianxue's heart trembled, and her breathing quickened.
"I died saving Senior Brother?"
After learning how she would die in the future, she felt a little sad, but also a little happy.
At least she would get to accompany Senior Brother for a time and fight alongside him...
[The one left alive... is the one who suffers most...]
When she saw those words,
Ling Qianxue's heart suddenly ached, and her gaze grew distant.
"Senior Brother..."
She stared at the diary, her feelings a tangled mess.
After her future self died, had Senior Brother really lived in such pain?
Right up until... the very end!
That pain, that longing...
By the time she finished reading the diary,
Ling Qianxue's face had turned completely red. She didn't dare meet Su Changqing's eyes.
"Senior Brother..."
Her heart raced. She'd nearly given in to the urge to hug the person before her—her future husband—and tell him that she already knew!
But she still couldn't summon the courage. She was afraid she'd lose control of her emotions!
Blushing, Ling Qianxue stammered, "Senior Brother... I... I'll head back now."
Her heart thumped wildly, and she hurriedly took her leave.
Watching Ling Qianxue's retreating figure,
Su Changqing's lips curled into a smile, and he shook his head slightly.
"Everything's going just as I expected..."
He muttered to himself. It was all under his control.
No matter what, he was going to make this life after transmigrating count!
Elsewhere,
in the Great Yu Dynasty,
Su Youwei had been recovering when she saw the diary update. Her big eyes filled with shock.
"The Saintess of the Dao Yi Sacred Sect died saving Su Changqing?"
She blinked in surprise.
Just how terrible was the future?
As for Su Changqing saying that the person he most wanted to see was the Saintess, Ling Qianxue, it left her feeling sour.
So she chose to ignore it.
She just didn't know why she felt that way.
The little girl wore a troubled expression.
The more she read,
the more Su Youwei felt she shouldn't have looked at this latest entry.
"How moving..."
"It's been so long, but Su Changqing still hasn't forgotten Ling Qianxue. But why didn't that guy mention me? I'm his Dao Companion later on, too, aren't I?"
She was touched by what Su Changqing had written.
But once she came to her senses, she gritted her teeth!
That wretched Su Changqing—why wasn't she among the people he wanted to see?
In an instant,
the vinegar jar had been knocked over!
If anyone had been there, they would surely have smelled the sourness filling the room!
But once she came to her senses,
Su Youwei blushed with embarrassment and stamped her foot.
"What about me? What happens to me later?!"
She stared eagerly at the Diary Instance, hoping to find something about her future.
But after waiting for quite a while, there were no updates.
That made her puff up with anger and pout.
"Wretched Su Changqing, you stinking Su Changqing..."
Su Youwei pursed her lips and put her hands on her hips, looking rather adorable.
Just then,
the Diary Instance flickered a few times.
[It feels so good to see Junior Sister Qianxue again...]
[I wonder when I'll get to see Youwei and Dieyi again?]
[If things develop the same way as before, it'll probably be a long time before I see them, won't it?]
[Before the Dark Turmoil arrives, life with Junior Sister Qianxue, Youwei, and Dieyi will be heavenly. Everyone in the Nine Profound Heavens will envy us!]
[In the morning, they'll wake me up. At night, we can fall asleep together. We'll do something different every day and live happily.]
[I miss it. I miss it so much...]
[I just don't know whether my rebirth will change anything in this lifetime.]
[Never mind. No matter what...]
[In this lifetime, I'll meet them sooner, become a happy couple with them sooner, and live a wonderful life together!]
