Tang San, You've Gone Too Far-You'll Die a Horrible Death!

Wang Dongliu was dumbfounded.

As the Ice Dragon King, she had finally gotten the chance to choose the general direction of her next diary entry. Wang Dongliu had wanted to write about Xiao Ge, someone she'd been thinking about lately, but she had to reluctantly give up that idea.

After thinking it over again and again, Wang Dongliu finally chose Huo Yuhao as the main subject of her next diary entry, with Tang San and Huo Yuhao both involved.

She had wanted to use the diary to mention herself more often, but as things stood, her name hadn't appeared even once. Instead, that Ice Empress had gotten plenty of attention.

That Ice Empress... was the second-ranked Spirit Beast on the Top 100 Spirit Beasts list!

Huo Yuhao, who had only just entered the world, had actually managed to obtain the favor of a Spirit Beast who had survived for hundreds of thousands of years!

Even as the son of the world's chosen one, wasn't that a little too ridiculous?

And that Spirit Beast had willingly become his Wise Soul Ring, even sharing her spiritual power with him. Tang San would surely want to find a way to make Huo Yuhao's favor belong to him instead.

Unfortunately, Wang Dongliu's inner thoughts had only just gotten past her dislike of Tang San and her aversion to Mo Yu.

[Speaking of the Ice Empress, there was no getting around bringing her up. She'd had the good fortune to find a hundred-thousand-year-old Sky Ice Lotus, which could help her break through the limit of seventy thousand years and transform into a human. But at the most crucial moment, an evil soul beast suddenly appeared. Luckily, she had the Soul Weapon that Ying San had given her, and it had saved her from disaster.]

[That's right. When spirit beasts transform, they have to go to the Far North. Even a nine-hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast who's also an evil soul beast can't just easily wander into the depths of the Far North, let alone interfere with the Sky Ice Lotus while it's transforming. You can't just make things up! Even dogs wouldn't believe Tang San's nonsense!]

[It's true. In the end, the Sky Ice Lotus still benefited Huo Yuhao, that lucky bastard, and became Mo Yu's Soul Spirit. The Ice Empress obtained the Sky Ice Lotus's soul, but Huo Yuhao lost his chance to become a man's most important companion... I really don't know whether that was good luck or bad.]

[All right, that's good luck. I can't help thinking, though: if the Ice Empress and the Sky Ice Lotus had just gone through the process again with a different method... But if Huo Yuhao and that lucky bastard could still end up together afterward, then there'd be no point in doing it again.]

[Speaking of Yilakus... should I use the Great Star Dou Forest to ambush and steal his divine fragments? Huo Yuhao's already bound to a Sky Ice Lotus anyway. After he becomes a god, he probably won't even think about going back to live in Yilakus's body. I might as well take a shot at it.]

The diary was still updating, but Bing Yan couldn't help taking another look.

She frowned and slowly turned toward the Sky Ice Lotus.

Sky Ice Lotus... had the Sky Ice Lotus actually helped that human?

Had even the Sky Ice Lotus gotten such a terrible ending?

No! She absolutely wouldn't allow that kind of thing to happen. Never!

Feeling the Ice Empress's emotions surging once more, the Sky Ice Lotus gently patted her.

The similarities between the diary's contents and what she knew startled the Sky Ice Lotus, but she didn't particularly care. The only thing she cared about was Tang San's powers, which the diary had brought to light...

She had become Huo Yuhao's Soul Spirit, and she'd even obtained the power of that Sea God.

So this was where things got complicated...

[Say, does Bing Yan like the Ice Empress? It kind of seems like she's got a crush on her. I can't quite tell anymore... Still, it's a pity that Bing Yan ended up with that powerful woman. What a shame.]

[That's a hell of a love triangle, though. Duoduo turned into a man, and her husband, Ice Roc, got together with the Ice Empress... Is this some kind of twisted fantasy that someone came up with?]

As she read the diary entry that had just appeared, the Ice Empress's eyes widened.

Wait... was my train of thought really that easy to read?

The Ice Empress turned around. She and the Sky Ice Lotus exchanged a glance and immediately understood what had happened.

The look of realization vanished from her face, leaving only furious rage that rose from deep within her heart.

"Damn you, Ice Roc! I'll tear you to pieces! I'm going to kill you! I swear I'm going to kill you!"

Even Bing Yan, who was usually calm and composed, couldn't help drawing in a sharp breath. The diary had mentioned Duoduo turning into a man and her husband, Ice Roc, and all that... She didn't care about any of that. What she cared about was that the Ice Empress was going to kill the Ice Roc who had supposedly been her husband...

An immense, terrifying aura suddenly burst out from within Cold Ice Palace. The pressure spread outward in every direction, and the entire Far North could feel the Ice Empress's fury.

The whole Far North trembled. Countless Spirit Beasts hid beneath the thick layers of ice, shivering with fear, while the Spirit Beasts who'd survived for hundreds of thousands of years roared as they rose into the air, their cries echoing as if they were raging alongside the Ice Empress.

Above the frozen plains, a colossal figure suddenly lifted its head. Its enormous face bore a look of bewilderment.

It didn't understand what had happened to its wife, but this furious woman was its enemy.

It would tear its wife's enemy to pieces!

How dare she calculate against its wife? Duoduo, who'd been reading the diary, suddenly stopped.

What did they mean, she'd turned into a man?

Duoduo couldn't help swallowing and looked toward the mirror in the room.

The mirror showed a striking face, with smooth, fair skin. Although the rather handsome features had caused Duoduo some trouble before, she'd never once thought of becoming a man!

Still, Duoduo's father had hoped she'd shoulder the family's responsibilities and carry the clan to greatness once more.

But if she could do it as a woman, why would she need to become a man?

That kind of thing... forget it!

Becoming a man? What was that supposed to mean? Duoduo imagined herself as a man for a moment, then shuddered.

She was perfectly happy with the body she had now... There was no way she'd ever want to become a man!

Xiao Ge...

Xiao Ge's name suddenly surfaced in Duoduo's mind.

Maybe Xiao Ge—or that mysterious diary—could make sure she never became a man!

[Arrogant Phoenix: A love triangle? What kind of place is that? It can turn a woman into a man? What kind of nonsense are you spouting?]

[Likes Husband...: Can it really make someone a man? Really, really?]

[Small Hand That Blows Up the Sky: Wow... that person named Duoduo is way too unfortunate, right? Turning a woman into a man... If it were me, I could never accept it.]

[Small Hand That Blows Up the Sky: Wait a minute, does that mean the Ice Empress and the Sky Ice Lotus are those terrifying Spirit Beasts from the Top 100 Spirit Beasts list? And that guy called Mo Yu can actually encounter so many extraordinary things?]

[Deep Blue Ignorance: Tang San! You've gone too far. You'll die a horrible death!]

[Grass (a plant): What's with you? Why are you suddenly warning Ancestor Tang San? I'm warning you: if you keep insulting Ancestor Tang San like that, I won't go easy on you!]

[Deep Blue Ignorance: Heh.]

[Deep Blue Ignorance: You're Tang San's dog. Why don't you bark?]

[Deep Blue Ignorance: Damn Tang San! You wretched Tang San!
