The Liyue Immortal Dynasty!
The Gathering Immortal Hall.
Ye Qingge sat on the imperial throne, watching the diary along with the assembled officials below.
Now, the Diary of the Immortal Great Emperor was the most important thing to every faction.
Watching it together in court made it easier for everyone to get the information right away and discuss it.
Of course, today's diary seemed to have taken a strange turn.
"Haha!"
"The big white rabbits glaring—Immortal Great Emperor's description... is actually pretty spot-on."
"Yeah, it's quite funny!"
"Who would've thought? The Great Emperor's one of us!"
The female emperor Ye Qingge's expression turned icy. Her cool voice rang through the hall. "I summoned you here to decipher the Great Emperor's diary, not to discuss these lascivious matters!"
The officials looked up, only then noticing that Her Majesty the Empress wore a cold expression.
But there was clearly a hint of blush on her face.
Ye Qingge's expression remained impassive, but she couldn't help thinking, Hmph, and you said you only liked me...
As the thought crossed her mind, her gaze unconsciously lowered.
She couldn't see her feet.
Only then did Ye Qingge's mood improve a little. She said coldly, "What big white rabbits? They're definitely not bigger than mine!"
Gongyang Mu, the prime minister, saw that the female emperor was getting angry and immediately cleared his throat before saying gravely:
"Everyone, mind your conduct in court!"
Inwardly, though, he was a little puzzled. The Liyue Immortal Dynasty was no ordinary mortal empire.
It was an immortal dynasty, exalted above all, with countless lives in its hands!
The Liyue Immortal Dynasty was mighty, in no way inferior to the so-called Holy Lands!
The assembled officials in court were all powerful cultivators!
Although the female emperor wielded absolute authority,
the rules of an immortal dynasty were not as rigid as those of a mortal empire. And what they were discussing wasn't exactly out of line!
So why did the female emperor seem unhappy?
A thought stirred in Gongyang Mu's mind. Could Her Majesty the Empress have gone through something similar herself?
As prime minister, he knew the female emperor had someone in her heart.
But he didn't know who it was.
He had no time to think further, because the diary on the screen updated again.
Diary of the Immortal Great Emperor, Page Six:
[Day six. Ruoyu finally started to get better. Her complexion looked much better today.]
[All my sacrifices were worth it!]
[Feeding her, wiping her down, applying medicine—I had no experience with any of that, and it nearly killed me!]
[And there's bad news. I've run out of Calm Spirit Pills. The days ahead are going to be rough!]
[Honestly... well, several times my little brother almost took matters into his own hands, but I managed to hold him back. I'm not the kind of scoundrel who takes advantage of someone!]
[We've run out of food, too.]
[Tomorrow I need to go out and kill a few demon beasts. I'll look for some spirit herbs while I'm at it, then come up with an action plan!]
[Can't let myself capsize in a ditch. I need to kill them without getting hurt.]
The diary ended there once again.
Ye Qingge's expression softened a little when she saw this. Whatever else, at least nothing had actually happened.
"Immortal Great Emperor is a reliable man. At the very least, he won't take advantage of someone!"
"Yeah, if it were someone else... well, ahem!"
"But we can also tell something from this diary: the Great Emperor really is cautious!"
"Exactly. Even when killing a demon beast, he makes an action plan in advance."
"He used 'capsize in a ditch' well! I learned something new."
The officials in the hall laughed and chatted among themselves again.
Today's diary hadn't brought any substantial information, nor did it have anything to do with cultivation.
But it had brought them some fun!
It had been a long time since the court had enjoyed such a warm, cheerful atmosphere.
Meanwhile, at the Jade Pool Holy Land,
the diary's contents gave Yuan Ruoyu an entirely different feeling.
Yuan Ruoyu pressed her lips together. Even she felt her face burning hot.
Her fair face had turned red as a flower in full bloom.
Although Yuan Ruoyu knew no one could possibly come near, she still couldn't help glancing around guiltily.
She spread her spiritual sense and confirmed no one was there before finally letting out a breath of relief.
Reading this diary now gave her the feeling she'd been caught stealing!
Yuan Ruoyu flushed with embarrassment and snapped, "You scoundrel! What do you mean, your little brother almost took matters into his own hands? Wasn't that you?"
"Hmph, and you even had the nerve to write it in your diary!"
Elsewhere, including throughout the Xuanqing Sect, everyone was watching the diary with delighted expressions.
A diary like this gave them a sense of reality.
It let them truly feel that the Great Emperor was a real person, with flesh and blood.
He wasn't the untouchable, lofty figure they had imagined.
A moment later,
the screen of the Communication Array rippled, and the diary updated again.
Diary of the Immortal Great Emperor, Page Seven:
[I'm back!]
[Everything went according to plan. I hunted a few second-tier demon beasts: Iron-Armored Savage Bulls and Thunder-Fire Crocodiles.]
[These two are great. Their meat is so tender—perfect for grilling!]
[There's good news, too!]
[Ruoyu woke up. It wasn't like I'd imagined; she didn't have much of an emotional reaction. She was very calm.]
[I suspect she might have fallen for me ages ago because I'm so handsome. That must be why she reacted this way!]
That was the end of this page's diary entry.
After reading it, Yuan Ruoyu let out a breath of relief. The contents of this page were fairly normal, with nothing sensitive.
Then she rolled her eyes!
"What do you mean, I fell for you ages ago because you're handsome?"
Yuan Ruoyu couldn't help laughing. She chided, "How come I never realized before how shameless this guy was?"
But she couldn't deny it!
Besides the time they'd spent together in the cave and the attentive care he'd given her...
That handsome, manly face had indeed been an important factor in her falling for Lin Feng.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman, alone together in one room.
It was bound to spark something and set the imagination running wild.
Yuan Ruoyu seemed to recall something, and a sweet smile curled her lips.
When a fairy smiled, her beauty could eclipse the world!
But her smile soon stiffened a little!
Because the last diary entry released this time had just updated.
This entry wasn't a continuation of the previous one; several months had passed.
Diary of the Immortal Great Emperor, Page Eight:
[I haven't written in a long time. I have to record this today!]
[Three months have passed. Ruoyu is much better. Her cultivation hasn't recovered, but she can move around like an ordinary person without any problems.]
[Wonderful!]
[After spending all this time together, we've grown more and more comfortable with each other. I'm really happy.]
[This has been the happiest time since I became a Transmigrator.]
[During the day I go out to hunt demon beasts. When I come back, Ruoyu cooks for me, though everything she makes is a dark culinary disaster!]
[We both cherish this kind of life.]
[I've even wondered: what if I really spent my whole life like this, living with someone I love? What would that be like?]
[But obviously, that's not realistic...]
[Besides, I have a feeling Ruoyu will be leaving soon.]
[She's like a little fish who needs to return to her ocean. And I have to keep searching for my own path!]
[Perhaps we'll hardly ever see each other again.]
[That day, I picked some wild fruit on my way back. They weren't spirit fruits, but they were exceptionally sweet and delicious.]
[There weren't many, unfortunately. After we finished them, we were both left craving more.]
[A little while later, Ruoyu asked if I wanted to eat more.]
[I said, "I do, but there aren't any left!"]
[Ruoyu blushed and smiled. Pointing at her mouth, she said, "There's still some here. I'll let you have a taste..."]
[And then... ahem, not suitable for children. Ten thousand words omitted here.]
