"What?!"
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuyun felt her mind buzz violently, and her whole body went numb.
Zhu Zhuqing had won, so didn't that mean she...
Su Ye hadn't mentioned what happened afterward, so she naturally assumed her fate would be the same as those previous losers.
Being crippled would have been the best outcome. Normally, she definitely would have lost her life.
At that moment, Zhu Zhuyun truly didn't know what to say. What was this supposed to be?
Lifting a rock only to smash her own foot?
Meanwhile.
The other women all wore strange expressions when they saw this.
How should they put it...
Zhu Zhuyun had considered everything, except her own sister's intelligence.
What should have been a happy ending for everyone had forcibly backfired on her instead.
They had to admit, it was pretty damn impressive—and dramatic.
"Ha, looks like having big... whatever isn't necessarily a good thing."
Ning Rongrong laughed happily.
She had originally been upset over her lack of assets, but now that she thought about it, what was the use of being big?
A lack of brains was the truly fatal problem, okay?
She might only have a modest A-cup chest, but she was smart as hell.
Wasn't that more useful than a few ounces of flesh?
(Su Ye: Not necessarily!)
"So it really was like that."
Zhu Zhuqing covered her face and smiled bitterly. It seemed she truly had been stupid.
Not only had she failed her sister's painstaking intentions, she had even pushed her sister into a fiery pit. What the hell had she done?
Fortunately, none of this had happened yet. She hadn't made any irreparable mistakes.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing felt a trace of gratitude toward Su Ye. If not for this Diary, she never would have realized it.
Perhaps she would still have foolishly gone looking for some cowardly piece of trash.
Things were good as they were now. She lived easily, without needing to worry about all that messy nonsense.
It was just...
She had escaped the chessboard now, but her sister had not.
She didn't believe her sister truly had any feelings for Dai Weisi. Everything had merely been forced upon her.
"No, I can't just cling to life like this."
Zhu Zhuqing's gaze abruptly grew resolute. Her sister had considered so much for her sake; she absolutely could not just stand by and watch her sister remain trapped in that cold imperial palace.
She had to save her sister.
And to change all of this, she needed absolute strength.
In the past, even if she cultivated herself to death, she could never have gained the strength to overturn everything. But now, things were different.
The Diary was her hope for changing her fate.
"Heaven Dou City..."
Zhu Zhuqing murmured softly, thinking of Su Ye.
Perhaps she should go make contact with him.
Even aside from anything else, simply wandering around in front of Su Ye now and then and getting him to mention her a few times in the diary would already be no small opportunity.
Not to mention that Su Ye possessed divine Medicinal Pills capable of evolution.
Of course, she merely thought about that and didn't hold out any hope.
They had no family ties or relationship. Why would Su Ye give such divine pills to her?
And she had no bargaining chip of equal value to trade.
So the most important thing was to become a familiar face, allowing Su Ye to mention her from time to time.
As for anything else... she would deal with it later!
Su Ye soaked comfortably in the hot spring, occasionally tossing a couple of Medicinal Pills into his mouth as though they were candy.
He could pad out the diary while raising his strength at the same time. If outsiders saw that carefree posture, they would likely stare until their eyes popped out from envy.
After all, Douluo Continent's cultivation system as a whole lagged behind.
Forget ordinary Soul Masters—even geniuses carefully cultivated by major powers had to painstakingly meditate and train on their own.
How could they compare to Su Ye?
[Judging by the timing, Little Kitty should have escaped Star Luo Empire by now. I just wonder whether she has reached Suotuo City yet?]
[If she has, then the plot is about to officially begin. Should I go join the fun?]
[After all, there are quite a few iconic scenes in the Suotuo City arc. A rare chance to watch the story unfold in person—what a shame it would be to miss it.]
Su Ye casually made things up. Naturally, he didn't want to go to Suotuo City merely to "watch the story."
The main reason was Xiao Wu, that walking Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring.
He was currently level fifty-eight. Reaching level sixty would happen within the next day or two, and level seventy would not take much longer either.
His seventh Spirit Ring had to be red. A black one would be beneath him.
Actually, with the resources he currently possessed, if he truly wanted to, even absorbing a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring as his sixth Spirit Ring would not be a problem if he waited a while.
But he felt there was no need. There would be plenty of ways to increase Spirit Ring age limits later; what mattered now was leveling up as quickly as possible.
Reaching level seventy early and gaining the strength to say "no" to anyone was what mattered most.
As for making a move against Xiao Wu?
He had always entertained that thought, which was why he had never exposed Xiao Wu's true identity in the diary.
He couldn't say for the others, but if that woman Bibi Dong learned of it, she would definitely interfere. He had to guard against that.
Upon seeing Su Ye say this, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, both original members of Shrek, raised their brows.
Besides wanting to get close to Su Ye, Ning Rongrong was also very interested in the plot and iconic scenes he mentioned. She immediately decided to make the trip.
Zhu Zhuqing, meanwhile, felt somewhat conflicted and somewhat wistful.
She had thought she would never again have any connection with that man Dai Mubai in this lifetime, yet it seemed they might meet again so soon.
Life really was unpredictable!
But conflicted or not, she still had to go. She absolutely had to make contact with Su Ye. This was her only path to growing stronger and saving her sister!
She could not give up!
"The plot is beginning?"
Hu Liena, who was traveling, also became interested.
If the plot was beginning, then Tang San, as the protagonist, would also be going to that Shrek Academy, right?
Don't misunderstand. She wasn't going there to throw herself at him.
She just wanted to see exactly how blind her future self had been to actually fall in love with something like him.
At the same time, she wanted to see whether she had a chance to kill him.
The claim that Tang San had a god backing him was only a speculation for now. But what if?
What if he didn't?
Then if she killed him, wouldn't she be clearing an obstacle for Spirit Hall?
Hmph, let me enter the game myself and test Tang San's true nature.
Hu Liena snorted twice. Once she finished this matter, let's see who would still dare call her an ungrateful traitor.
I, Hu Liena, am absolutely loyal to Spirit Hall!
[Ahem, back to the point. Let's continue writing about Zhu Zhuqing, this little kitty.]
[After Zhu Zhuqing arrived at Shrek Academy and learned what Dai Mubai was really like, she naturally wouldn't give him a pleasant expression.]
[However, our Young Master Dai also had a fiery temper. Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing still dared to pull a face at him, he immediately exploded.]
[In his eyes, women weren't people; they were merely resources. You dare pull a face at me? I've really given you too much face!]
"What? Women aren't people? They're just resources?"
At that moment, every woman reading the diary was enraged.
Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and the others even had killing intent in their eyes.
(Dai Mubai: Achoo! Why does the back of my neck feel so chilly?)
