The night was as black as ink, with a bright moon hanging high in the sky.
In a second-floor guest room in a small town some distance from Star Dou Great Forest, someone pushed open the window.
He felt the faint, damp night breeze blowing in from the direction of the forest.
"By my calculations, we should reach Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow..."
Lin Chen smiled slightly.
He had spent the day rushing along, but for a Soul King like him, whose martial soul was the formidable Cang Hui Zhi Qiu, that little bit of fatigue could practically be ignored.
"I just don't know which one I should choose..."
"Which one would be better, I wonder?"
Lin Chen pondered to himself.
He lay on the bed, his consciousness sinking into a sea of spiritual power.
Because he had focused on his Diary during the day, he could now quietly observe those five people reading his Diary.
By now, Qian Ling'er and Bi Biyao had probably been waiting for the Diary to update for a while. After all, yesterday's completion rate had reached 100%.
"The more outrageous the content, the more convincing it is. The more convincing it is, the easier it is to fool people."
"Then later, I'll just start blabbering about some nonsense..."
Lin Chen secretly thought to himself, while condensing his spiritual power into the Diary.
A cluster of light, like a firefly, condensed and formed.
It turned into a line of text.
[Diary's second day... [What a mess. Douluo Continent really doesn't have any convenient means of transportation. The Soul Douluo's speed is much faster than a high-speed train, but it's still exhausting to travel on foot. [By my calculations, we should be able to enter Star Dou Great Forest in about a day. Hopefully, the weather stays nice... [I hope I can run into a beautiful young woman.
Qian Ling'er and Bi Biyao, who had been eagerly awaiting the Diary's update, immediately saw the new entry.
"High-speed train? Flying? What are those supposed to be?"
Qian Ling'er looked puzzled, not understanding what Lin Chen was talking about.
But it sounded like some sort of transportation.
Since the Diary's owner was a transmigrator, it wasn't surprising that she wouldn't understand those things.
What she cared about was—
Lin Chen wanted to meet a beautiful young woman!
"Besides the conditions for acquiring a soul ring, can a soul master's fourth soul ring absorb a soul beast that's over a thousand years old? It can actually be more than a thousand years old..."
Bi Biyao thought it over, then the corners of her mouth curled up in a smile.
Lin Chen was different from Tang San.
The more she learned about him, the more she wanted to search for him. As long as the Diary's owner's identity was revealed, she would find a way to track him down.
At that moment, in a guest room elsewhere,
Tang Hao and his party had just finished talking with the people from the Spirit Hall. They were about to set out and personally teach that Soul King from Cang Hui Zhi Qiu a lesson.
Things had come to this.
In the room, Zhu Zhuqing was cultivating. The Diary on her bedside table suddenly glowed faintly.
[The update's here!
Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes narrowed, and her usually cool, aloof expression softened.
She had even poured herself a glass of water.
She wondered what the Diary would reveal next.
In the room next door, Mi Ruoxi also sprang up, rubbing her sleepy eyes as she stared at the lines of text floating in the air.
[Yesterday, I heard Qian Ling'er describe Star Luo City as a clear river. Let's just pretend I believe her. [Tianqing Bull Python is clearly a Heavenly Flower Board from Douluo Continent. It's got Divine Power blessed by the heavens, so why did things turn out like this? After becoming a god, it seems like it got roasted by an angel's holy light. [She's already a god, yet she ran off to fight Tang San? What the hell? How could Tang San have held out against her attacks? What happened? [That idiot got herself killed. She was a god, for heaven's sake! How did a mere Title Douluo pierce her heart? [All I can say is, she was beyond saving. For the sake of a Tang San, she ruined her own path to godhood.
"Damn it—!"
Qian Ling'er, who was in the imperial palace of the Heaven Dou Empire, crushed the jade cup in her hand. Her expression was filled with fury.
"Ridiculous! I've already become a god. How could I possibly get into a fight with a mere Title Douluo?!"
Qian Ling'er laughed in anger, but what filled her heart even more was fear of the future, and unease.
Could the Diary really be describing what would happen in the future?
Would Spirit Hall sacrifice her to pave the way for her ascension to godhood? Upon learning this, she couldn't accept it.
"Grandpa... Could it be that you really did deceive me..."
"And Tang San... So he really was..."
Qian Ling'er's expression darkened.
If the Diary's claims about her tragic death were true, she'd already be as good as dead. When she found the Diary's owner, she would definitely...
Bi Biyao's eyes were full of anticipation. If Qian Daoliu sacrificed himself for her, helping her become a god, how would she respond?
The Diary even said that she would die tragically. It had even mentioned her...
Zhu Zhuqing and Mi Ruoxi exchanged a look.
"Tang San... So he'll be our enemy in the future?"
[Forget it. I don't want to think about that stupid angel anymore. [If I get the chance in the future, I'll teach her a lesson!
"?"
[The soul beasts are probably going to be resting for a while. I'll go to Suotuo City first and get rid of that group of people from Shrek Academy.
Zhu Zhuqing and Mi Ruoxi: "?"
What did he mean by "that group of people"?
Wasn't that a pretty rude thing to say?
[Shrek Academy's Seven Monsters. The main characters, sure, but they're still a bunch of normal people! Especially Zhu Zhuqing. She's obviously tall and beautiful, so why did she end up with that deadbeat Dai Mubai? [And then there's Mi Ruoxi. She doesn't seem like a bad person.
"Wait, why am I the one he's insulting?"
Mi Ruoxi was stunned. Zhu Zhuqing had been called tall and beautiful. And her?
Why hadn't he said anything nice about her?
Wasn't she just as good-looking as Zhu Zhuqing?
"He can actually see the future! He even knows so many things that haven't happened yet..."
Mi Ruoxi's expression shifted, uncertainty flickering in her eyes.
Though the other party didn't know her identity, she was in Shrek Academy and acting so nervously. That meant Mi Ruoxi really did believe him.
"I have to find him. I have to ask him why he called me ugly!!"
Mi Ruoxi gritted her teeth in frustration.
Zhu Zhuqing was only focused on Lin Chen's insults about her.
"He... How does he know what I look like?"
"Could he be nearby?"
She suddenly felt as if a gaze had pierced straight through her, but there was no one around her. Had someone used some kind of soul skill to spy on her?
"Could it be... I really did misjudge Dai Mubai?"
Zhu Zhuqing's chest tightened with anger.
That deadbeat!
She was going to meet him in Star Dou Great Forest.
Zhu Zhuqing's breathing quickened, and a flurry of emotions flashed through her eyes. She suddenly wanted to see the Diary's owner very badly.
He had such means...
If she stayed with him, she might be able to make it through this safely. Then she wouldn't have to go and get entangled with Dai Mubai.
[It wouldn't be a bad idea to visit Suotuo City. I heard the people there might know that crowd... I'd better take a good look at them, and at Tang Buddha Ancestor. [All right, that's enough for today. Tomorrow, I'll go hunt down the soul beast for my fourth soul ring...
That night, four people found themselves unable to sleep.
As for Qian Ling'er,
she only knew that the Diary had disappeared. She couldn't understand what it meant, because she knew nothing at all about what was happening on the continent.
