After dinner, the two of them cleared the table together, then each went back to their rooms.
Su Bai took out the music player again and turned it over in his hands, examining it.
"How... am I supposed to use this thing?"
He gently folded its outstretched wings back in. The player flashed once, then fell silent.
Seeing that, Su Bai didn't bother with it any further. He casually put it away in his bag and muttered,
"Forget it. I'll wait until Xiao Xue finds the instruction manual."
The moment Su Bai folded the player's wings away—
In the next room, Qilin was smiling as she stroked her cheek, but her hand suddenly froze.
Her cheeks flushed visibly.
"I-I... What did I do today?!"
She covered her face with both hands, so embarrassed she nearly buried herself in the pillow.
She could hardly believe it—she'd been so bold today!!!
The way she'd acted today was nothing like her usual self.
Although... she didn't feel unhappy about it.
She didn't seem to dislike the things she'd done today, either.
Qilin knew she did have a faint, hazy fondness for Su Bai.
But still, she shouldn't have been so bold as she was today.
What confused her even more was that she hadn't felt the slightest hint that she'd been controlled or influenced.
Just as Qilin was burning with embarrassment and frustration over everything she'd done that day, nearly burying her face in her pillow—
[The required number of bound users has been reached. Unlocking new features—]
[Friend feature enabled. Reward feature enabled. Question module unlocked.]
Without warning, the Diary System's notification sounded in the minds of all its holders.
The women were all startled.
Qilin took a deep breath, temporarily suppressing her embarrassment, and curiously explored the new features in the diary.
Nearby, Angel Yan and Azhui exchanged a glance and began exploring with equal interest.
Keisha and Hexi in Merlo Heavenly Court,
Rui Mengmeng and Su Xiaoli in Juxia City,
Zhixin, far away in Fei Leize,
And Lingxi, Leng, and Moy, who had been startled by the sudden notification...
Everyone turned their attention to the mysterious diary in unison.
[Another instance owner detected nearby. Add as a friend?]
Hearing the prompt in her mind, Azhui's eyes widened slightly. She turned to Angel Yan beside her.
"Sister Yan, the diary—"
Before she could finish, Angel Yan raised an eyebrow.
"You heard it too?"
Azhui nodded.
They looked at each other, then simultaneously sent the Diary System the thought, "Agree."
The next second, Azhui "heard" Yan's voice directly in her mind.
"Azhui? Can you hear me?"
Azhui instinctively replied,
"Mm, Sister Yan. I can hear you."
Unlike Dark Communication, it required no speech and didn't rely on the Dark Plane. They could still connect even if the Dark Plane was sealed off.
Angel Yan and Azhui were both delighted. At least in situations like this, they could stay in touch and relay information even if they ran low on energy or encountered an emergency.
Yan and Azhui weren't the only ones.
Keisha and Hexi in Merlo Heavenly Court had also discovered the feature and successfully added each other as friends.
Meanwhile, Zhixin, Su Xiaoli, Qilin, Rui Mengmeng, Leng, Lingxi, Moy, and the others, who were alone, had no one they could add as a friend for now.
Merlo Heavenly Court, the angel residential district.
Angel Leng and Angel Lingxi stood facing each other, staring wide-eyed.
"Sister Leng, you..."
"Lingxi, so you also..."
Neither of them had even had a chance to examine the diary properly, and the sudden notification had startled them both—

It had also made one thing clear to them:
The Sister Leng/Lingxi in front of them also had a copy of the mysterious diary.
The two of them flew toward the great hall.
"What exactly is this diary...?"
After briefly trying out the "Friend feature," Angel Leng's expression grew grave.
"We must report this to Queen Keisha immediately!"
She hadn't even had time to examine the diary's contents. Her brows furrowed, and her tone was stern.
Lingxi nodded. They said no more and spread their wings, flying swiftly toward the great hall.
They turned into streaks of light, passing through Merlo Heavenly Court's magnificent palace complex. Soon, they arrived outside the great hall.
However, the guard angels at the entrance told them that Queen Keisha wasn't inside at the moment.
Angel Leng furrowed her brow, then contacted Keisha directly through Dark Communication.
"Is that you, Leng?" Keisha's cool voice came through the communicator.
"Queen Keisha! Lingxi and I have something important to report!" Angel Leng spoke urgently.
"Just now, we suddenly got a strange diary... The contents seem to be related to someone called 'Su Bai'..."
She immediately gave Keisha a quick rundown of the situation.
Hexi's garden.
After hearing Angel Leng's report, Keisha exchanged a glance with Hexi beside her, then chuckled.
"Oh? Leng, bring Lingxi to the Heavenly King's garden."
Leng immediately replied from the other end of the line,
"Yes!"
Once the call ended, Leng pulled Lingxi along and flew toward Hexi's garden.
Hexi raised an eyebrow.
"Heh, I was wondering why the system suddenly said the 'required number of users' had been reached..."
"Turns out it had just handed out a few more copies, and that was enough to hit the target."
Keisha smiled.
"I wonder who the newcomers are this time..."
"Could she have one too?"
"Who cares about her?" Hexi waved a hand, intrigued.
"I'm more curious about what this 'Reward feature' and 'Question module' are all about."
Before long, Leng and Lingxi appeared at the garden entrance.
They landed a short distance from Keisha and Hexi, then hurried over and bowed respectfully.
"Queen Keisha."
"Heavenly King."
Keisha waved gently, signaling for them to rise.
Just then, all four of them felt the Diary System's prompt in their minds.
[Another instance owner detected nearby. Add as a friend?]
Leng and Lingxi's eyes widened.
Leng could barely hide her shock. "Your Majesty! You too...?"
Keisha gave a slight nod.
"Hexi and I have had the diary for some time."
Seeing how hurried and astonished they looked, she couldn't help smiling.
"You rushed over in such a panic, full of questions... You haven't had a proper look at the diary's contents yet, have you?"
Angel Leng and Lingxi froze, then nodded.
"That's right, Your Majesty. As soon as we sensed something was amiss, Lingxi and I came straight to report to you... We were worried about this diary..."
Keisha gently interrupted her.
"All right. There's no need to worry."
"Hexi and I were among the first to receive the diary."
"You'll understand once you read through its contents from the beginning."
Leng and Lingxi looked at each other, both seeing shock in the other's eyes.
So Queen Keisha and the Heavenly King had received the diary long ago, and... didn't seem to consider it a threat?
"Yes, Your Majesty." Leng set aside her doubts and answered respectfully.
"Then let's add each other as friends first~" Hexi said with a beaming smile. "We can test how stable the feature is."
Try searching for the author if you can't find the book by its title. Maybe it was just renamed!
