A faintly dazed look appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's cool, pretty face.
That was right, today's diary theme had been chosen by her.
And the subject was none other than herself.
Although she understood her sister's intentions and had no plans to return to the Star Luo Empire, who would ever complain about having too much strength?
Besides, with the Diary now, she might not be unable to return to Star Luo in another form someday.
That was why she had chosen herself as the topic: for the diary rewards.
She had originally thought things through. She was ordinary enough and probably had no embarrassing history, so she would not suffer the same social death as Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong. There was nothing to fear in writing about herself.
But now, it seemed... that was not the case.
"Could it be that I also did something ridiculous?"
Zhu Zhuqing murmured softly, feeling somewhat uneasy.
At the same time.
The other women's interest was immediately piqued.
Absurd?
Absurd was good. If it was not absurd, they would not even want to watch.
Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong, Hu Liena, and the other women whose embarrassing pasts had been exposed waited eagerly, hoping Su Ye would let them feast on some juicy gossip today as well.
They had spent the past few days supplying all the gossip, yet had not gotten a single bite themselves!
It was too miserable!
"Come on, Su Ye, show us that sharp tongue of yours. Perk up and do not embarrass yourself!"
"Bring out the same attitude you used when you tore into me!"
Bibi Dong silently encouraged herself. Just then, new words appeared in the Diary.
[If you cannot see your feet when you look down, you are a peerless beauty. The woman I'm writing about today perfectly embodies the true meaning of those words. It is truly astonishing!]
"If you cannot see your feet when you look down, you are a peerless beauty?"
Bibi Dong repeated the words, unable to understand them at first.
Then she stood up and looked down. Her pretty face instantly turned scarlet, and she cursed inwardly, Pervert!
At the same time, the others also stood and looked down, wanting to see what Su Ye was implying this time.
They all considered themselves peerless beauties, but once they understood, every one of them fell silent.
Wait, could anyone really do that?
How big would they have to be?
Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and the others nearly burst into tears. Was the gap between people really this enormous?
As the person in question, Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face also flushed red. She had not expected Su Ye to be talking about that.
But... a peerless beauty...
The corners of her lips lifted slightly. She was clearly in a rather good mood.
No one disliked being praised. If someone did, it only meant the person praising them was wrong.
Su Ye was obviously not one of those people.
No matter how one looked at him, Su Ye was unquestionably an outstanding man.
Even if Little Kitty usually did not care much about such things, being praised by a man like him still made her genuinely happy.
[Zhu Zhuqing! She came from the Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire and was also a member of the original protagonist group.]
[That's right, she hung around with Tang San.]
Well, now she understood.
Zhu Zhuqing sighed softly. She no longer had the slightest doubt about Su Ye calling her absurd.
She had gotten involved with someone like Tang San. How could that not be absurd?
Tang San: See? This is what you call a reputation!
[The Zhu Family and the imperial Dai Family had intermarried for generations, while the contenders for the throne fought each other in pairs.]
[In this generation, the eldest prince, Dai Weisi, was far ahead. The other princes had either died or fled. Let's mainly talk about the one who ran away.]
[Because this guy was not only Zhu Zhuqing's fiancé, but also a member of the protagonist group. He had quite a lot of scenes.]
[Dai Mubai, the third prince of the Star Luo Empire and Zhu Zhuqing's official pairing. Among the princes, his talent was among the best, but he was also the most cowardly.]
[After learning that another one of his "dear brothers" had already died, he decisively chose to flee. Not to bide his time and endure hardship before staging a desperate comeback and returning as a king, but...]
[Instead, he ran off to that backwater academy called Shrek Academy and spent every day drowning in drink and pleasure. The Rose Hotel kept a VIP room for him year-round, and every time, he brought a different girl inside for some academic exchange.]
[In his eyes, there was no way he could defeat Dai Weisi. Rather than cultivate desperately for a position he could never obtain, he might as well enjoy every remaining day.]
[As for Zhu Zhuqing? Sorry, she was never within Young Master Dai's considerations.]
[Yet Zhu Zhuqing knew none of this. She still imagined that Dai Mubai had been cultivating diligently and that they could join forces to fight against fate.]
[So, after escaping the Star Luo Empire, Zhu Zhuqing headed straight for Shrek Academy, intending to stage a grand "desperate counterattack" with Dai Mubai.]
[And this was where the first absurd part appeared.]
Zhu Zhuqing's heart skipped a beat. She roughly knew where she had gone wrong now, and only hoped Su Ye would not roast her too harshly.
The other women, however, were completely confused. The absurd part had appeared?
Where was it?
Why had they not noticed?
Other than being a little naive, Zhu Zhuqing did not seem to have done anything wrong in this part, did she?
Could there be some hidden truth behind it?
Su Ye: There is, sisters. There definitely is!
[The original work mentioned that when Zhu Zhuqing fled, her own sister sent people to hunt her down. We already know the result: Zhu Zhuqing successfully escaped. But what about the process?]
[Was there something wrong with it? Yes, and the problem was huge.]
[Normally, with Zhu Zhuqing's strength at level twenty-seven back then, Zhu Zhuyun would not need to send any particularly powerful Soul Master. A Soul Elder—or at most a Soul Ancestor—would have been enough.]
[Within the empire, Zhu Zhuyun was practically the acknowledged crown princess and future empress. No one believed Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's pair could win, so would it have been difficult for someone of her status to dispatch a Soul Ancestor?]
[Forget a Soul Ancestor. If she had wanted to, I'm sure she could have found a Soul King.]
[In other words, if Zhu Zhuyun had truly intended to kill her, Zhu Zhuqing would have been doomed.]
[That was why many netizens in my previous life said that Zhu Zhuyun had merely used the pretext of a pursuit to drive Zhu Zhuqing out—or rather, escort her out—of the Star Luo Empire. She had never intended to kill her.]
[At the same time, she hoped Zhu Zhuqing would find somewhere to hide and never return.]
[So? Looking at it this way, Zhu Zhuyun counted as a good sister, right?]
[But unfortunately, this good sister had clearly arranged the entire script. Even if it could not have ended in perfect happiness, it still would have been far better than sisters killing each other, right?]
[Yet Zhu Zhuqing, this brilliant genius, apparently had all her nutrients go to that Great Martial Soul of hers. She thought she had escaped solely through good luck.]
[After getting away from "danger," she eagerly ran off to find Dai Mubai, planning to join hands with him and one day return to the empire to cut her sister down.]
[Such filial devotion. Truly, so filial!]
[What was even more absurd was that, with help from that cheat Tang San, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's pair really did win in the end.]
[Tsk, tsk. I bet Zhu Zhuyun really wanted to curse at the time.]
[Zhu Zhuyun: After all that, I was the clown all along?]
