The Women's Grievances! Frenzied Posting!

Deeply affectionate?

Affectionate my foot!

The women all complained inwardly, and at the same time, they came to a realization.

If Tang Hao were truly affectionate and truly loved Ah Yin, he wouldn't have worn that expression when he saw Tang San awaken his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

"Heh, men really are all trash."

Inside the Pope's bedchamber, a cold sneer curled the corners of Bibi Dong's lips.

Don't let her outward obsession with Yu Xiaogang fool you; deep down, how could she not know exactly what kind of person Yu Xiaogang was?

It was just that she dared not think about it, and was unwilling to think about it.

To her, Yu Xiaogang was more of a longing for those beautiful years before she had experienced darkness—an obsession, rather than...

"Another scumbag."

Somewhere on the border of the empire, Zhu Zhuqing, who had just escaped not long ago, also launched a verbal attack on Tang Hao.

She then stood frozen in place, a rare trace of confusion appearing in her eyes.

"Is it possible to live a peaceful life simply by giving up the dream of becoming an empress?"

Su Ye's words yesterday had truly awakened her.

For the longest time, in her mind, she and Dai Mubai were a single unit; to survive, she had to defeat her sister and the others.

She was like a piece on a chessboard, unable to break free, forced to struggle for survival within the rules.

She had never considered running away to live in anonymity.

Now, Su Ye's words had completely snapped her out of it.

That's right!

Who said she had to be a piece on the chessboard? Couldn't she just jump off and stop playing?

The continent was vast; if she really found some remote corner to hide in, who could possibly find her?

Furthermore, she had a realistic assessment of her own situation.

If the Star Luo Empire couldn't find her, they would simply assume she was dead, rather than spending a fortune to search the entire continent.

As for the consequences?

It seemed there wouldn't be any.

The Dai family and her Zhu family could be said to complement each other; it wasn't just that the Zhu family relied on the Dai family, the Dai family also needed the strength of the Zhu family.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing's delicate body suddenly trembled, and she looked toward the direction of the empire with moist eyes.

In a trance, she seemed to see a mature and graceful figure.

"Sister, was this your goal all along?"

At this moment, she felt as if her entire being had become clear. The luck she had taken for granted in the past seemed so ridiculous now—how could there be so many coincidences?

Everything was merely the result of someone acting with intent.

At the same time.

Upon receiving the message that her younger sister had successfully escaped, Zhu Zhuyun's pretty face remained calm, but a complex emotion that could not be described flickered in the depths of her eyes.

Go then, once you've left... don't ever come back...

[After learning that Tang San possessed Twin Martial Souls, Tang Hao's attitude changed drastically. Not only did he agree to let Tang San go to school, but he also taught him the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.]

[For a period after that, he continued to protect this "precious son" from the shadows, and our protagonist Tang San would officially begin his life of sin.]

[Arriving at the academy gate, he immediately wanted to kill someone in the street, the "Way of Seeking Death" technique... uh, it seems the word count is enough.]

As Su Ye wrote, he suddenly realized that the update requirement for the day had been met, so he chose to stop writing immediately.

[Since the update requirement for today is finished, let's leave it at that. I'm not writing anymore.]

[Even though there are many explosive plot points ahead, such as: the Master of Deception makes his debut! Tang San acknowledges his father one moment, and wants to kill him the next, and other classic scenes...]

[But writing them out doesn't do me any good, and the Diary won't give extra rewards, so I'll just save them for later.]

Su Ye finished writing and put away the Diary. Just then, Dugu Bo returned, bringing all sorts of fine food and wine.

The two chatted and laughed, and after a gluttonous feast, they collapsed and fell asleep.

The rewards for daily updates weren't great, so Su Ye didn't intend to wait around; fueled by the alcohol, he quickly drifted into a dream.

However, while Su Ye was comfortable, the women scattered across the continent were filled with resentment. Their hearts felt as if they were being clawed by cats, and they couldn't sleep at all.

You jerk, keep writing about what happens next!

They desperately wanted to know what kind of crazy stunt Tang San was going to pull.

Acknowledging his father on the spot?

And then immediately wanting to kill the other person right after?

Holy crap, this plot is even more unhinged than a pulp novel.

After venting for a while about how Su Ye was short and impotent, some people immediately opened the forum and stayed up all night posting.

Before long, dozens of new posts appeared on the forum, all with similar content, clamoring for the next part.

Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong were no exception.

Because the "master of bamboozling" mentioned by Su Ye reminded them of Yu Xiaogang.

Given Yu Xiaogang's weak-as-a-chicken strength, if he were to actually run into that guy Tang San, wouldn't that just be...

Anxious, the two of them fired off several posts in a row, leaving the others stunned.

However, no one thought much of it, assuming these two forum users were just particularly invested in the drama.

[Rich Little Lady: Holy crap, is it that addictive? You two.]

[Strict Sister: Wow, compared to you guys, I feel like I'm not even qualified to be a spectator.]

[Surging Waves: Understandable. Su Ye is truly heartless; of all places to cut the story, he had to pick this one.]

[...]

Looking at the comments under the posts, Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong ignored them all, continuing to post incessantly, as if that could vent the restless anxiety in their hearts.

Meanwhile.

Xiao Wu stared at the lively forum with vacant eyes. Under normal circumstances, she would have jumped right into the chaos, but right now, she had absolutely no mood for it.

Tang San, Tang Hao, Yu Xiaogang—once these three names were out, no matter how dense she was, she knew the Tang San she knew was that very same Tang San.

To be honest, when she first realized this, she almost ran away on the spot.

The Tang San in Su Ye's story was just too much; his thought process was inscrutable, like a total lunatic.

Staying by the side of someone like that, Sister Xiao Wu felt absolutely no sense of security, okay?

But before she could take any action, she saw the line that followed: "Tang Hao has been protecting Tang San from the shadows."

At that moment, Xiao Wu felt as if the sky were collapsing.

She didn't dare move—she absolutely didn't dare move.

Tang Hao was the ruthless man who had tearfully harvested his own wife's spirit ring. Under the nose of such an existence, how could she dare to harbor any ulterior motives?

As for why the past six years had been peaceful, she could roughly guess the reason.

It was nothing more than the fact that Tang Hao's spirit rings were already full, and it wasn't worth it to kill her for just one spirit bone.

To maximize his benefits, the best approach was... Tang San.

Thinking of this answer, Xiao Wu's mood became even more complicated.

However, what she thought didn't matter, because she had no room for choice now.

If she stayed obediently by Tang San's side like before, she might survive, but if she dared to make any small moves, then...

She didn't even dare to imagine the ending.

That night, the usually carefree Xiao Wu suffered from insomnia for the first time.

Su Ye was unaware of all this, nor did he care.

Waking up from a wonderful sleep, Su Ye first stretched his back and loosened up his body, then began to inspect yesterday's rewards.

Ding! Yesterday's rewards have been settled!

Congratulations to the host for obtaining:...
