I Want a Home (4th Update)

Crown Prince Mansion.

Qian Renxue saw that she was once again a lucky recipient, and she couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. It seemed that her miserable life could finally be redeemed!

However.

As more and more people appeared who possessed a Diary Copy, Qian Renxue found that she could no longer ask about the things on her mind within the diary.

How was she supposed to use it then?

Qian Renxue lay on her bed, her beautiful figure tossing and turning. What should she ask tomorrow?

Since there was nothing regarding herself, the best way to utilize it was to name a person; if that person's name appeared frequently, one would receive a fixed upgrade of a thousand-year spirit ring the next day.

She certainly couldn't use it on herself.

But.

She had already asked about her last time; could she write about her again?

Qian Renxue pondered for a long time, finally settling on the subject—Hu Liena!

One question meant one reward. Qian Renxue couldn't take this reward herself, and while there was Bibi Dong, she had already been written about once. Qian Renxue wasn't sure if she could be written about again, so this time, she would give the opportunity to Hu Liena.

Meanwhile.

On the road from Holy Soul Village to Suotuo City, Xiao Wu, currently on a hotel bed, jumped up in utter confusion!

What?

What?

Everyone else got a one-level spirit power boost, so why did I get a crate of Honey Glazed Carrots?

Damn it!

How did it feel like she was being targeted? How could a crate of Honey Glazed Carrots possibly be as good as a one-level spirit power boost?

Xiao Wu was so angry!

She extracted the reward from the Diary Copy and looked at the large crate full of carrot sticks, her heart filled with disdain.

Even if Sister Xiao Wu starved to death or jumped out of this window, I would never eat this food meant to spite me.

However.

As she sniffed the sweet fragrance in the air, drool slowly began to trickle from the corner of Xiao Wu's mouth, and she was filled with astonishment:

Good heavens!

How could these carrots smell so sweet?

Should I try one just to see?

The next moment.

Xiao Wu sat on the bed, her two hands continuously pulling carrot sticks from the crate and stuffing them into her mouth, muttering as she ate:

"Oh my, this is so good!"

A one-level spirit power boost could be cultivated at any time, but such delicious carrots were one of a kind in this world.

The next day.

Tang San came out of the room next door, walked to Xiao Wu's door, and knocked, calling out:

"Xiao Wu, are you up yet? We need to continue our journey."

"Coming, coming."

Xiao Wu opened the door and walked out, rubbing her slightly rounded belly.

"You... Xiao Wu???"

Tang San was shocked, wondering if he had somehow been cuckolded without even realizing it.

Damn it!

I haven't even made my move yet, and someone has already beaten me to it?

Xiao Wu said with a smug look:

"What are you looking at? Sister Xiao Wu just ate too much yesterday and hasn't digested it yet."

Good heavens!

Yesterday's carrots were simply too delicious. There was a whole crate of them, and she was so full she could barely walk.

Tang San let out a sigh of relief, saying calmly: "I see! Eat less at night. Let's continue on our way!"

Xiao Wu nodded, hesitating for a long time before saying: "Tang San, are we really going to Shrek? I... I don't want to be in crowded places. How about we just go back to Holy Soul Village?"

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu with a strange expression. Xiao Wu had brought this up many times, and Tang San explained once again:

"It's alright. The teacher said Shrek is just in a village. It's an academy that only accepts monsters, so there aren't many people there."

Xiao Wu sighed and didn't say anything more.

In truth, she understood that unless she returned to the Star Dou Great Forest, she could be found no matter where she went.

Sunset Forest.

Su Chen and his group began their journey.

[Today is a good day!]

[I went to Heaven Dou Academy yesterday to find Dugu Yan and unexpectedly ran into Ye Lingling. She really is an ideal wife, so I didn't hesitate to pursue her decisively.]

[Later, I ran into Liu Erlong. I beat that hot-tempered little dragoness on the spot; my Heaven Frost Fist made her extinguish her flames immediately.]

[So, arriving at the Sunset Forest today, it's time to start mowing the grass. My heart is very happy. Once I finish this, I'll go back to find Hu Liena. I hope Nana won't be sad.]

Heaven Dou City Branch Hall.

Hu Liena was completely stunned as she read this.

No way?

We only parted for an afternoon, and we only defined our relationship a day ago, yet I'm already not your only one?

Even if it's just for tonight, couldn't you have given me a moment of exclusivity?

Wuwuwu—!

Su Chen, you bastard, just wait until you get back and see if I don't bite you to death.

Just as Hu Liena was fuming, she saw the next part of Su Chen's entry, and her mood turned complex and aching.

[As a transmigrator, I was an orphan to begin with. The moment I awakened my memories, I became the loneliest person in this world. I have no relatives or friends here, yet my heart holds onto a hometown.]

[A lonely stranger in a foreign land, I miss my family all the more on every festive day. From afar, I know my brothers are climbing high, but one is missing from the group.]

[If I remember correctly, my memories from before the transmigration stopped right after the New Year. In that world, everyone was reuniting for the big celebration, while I was blown away by a brat throwing firecrackers into a manhole cover.]

[Every time I think of this, my heart feels sour. That's why my goal is to marry several wives and have many children. I want a big family, a warm place to rely on.]

[Hmm, should today's diary entry be about Hu Liena???]

(Friendly reminder: The New Year is approaching. Never throw firecrackers into manhole covers or sewers; it will cause a massive explosion. Please be sure to stay safe!)

Su Chen was just padding his diary when he suddenly found today's content quite interesting.

At this moment.

Ye Lingling suddenly grabbed Su Chen's hand, and Dugu Yan, who was in front, turned back to give Su Chen a gentle look.

Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong read Su Chen's diary entry, feeling that something was strange.

I want a home, a place that doesn't need to be very big, but you! Why do you want a big family?

Loneliness and homesickness.

Is this your excuse for being a playboy?

Bibi Dong had a premonition that this Su Chen was very likely using this reason to develop his harem with a clear conscience.

But she had no evidence.

Crown Prince Mansion.

Qian Renxue murmured to herself:

"A lonely stranger in a foreign land, I miss my family all the more on every festive day."

"Su Chen, perhaps only I understand you. Only I understand this loneliness of being away from home, especially whenever important days arrive."

Qian Renxue sighed, wondering when she would be able to end all of this and return to Spirit Hall, to her grandfather's side.

Spirit Branch Hall.

Hu Liena felt a deep ache in her heart as she read this.

That's right!

Su Chen truly had no relatives or friends in this world, yet he carried the weight of a hometown in his heart.

For a moment.

Hu Liena thought back to what Su Chen had said at the Spirit Academy: "Hu Liena, you are my first friend here." A happy smile appeared on her face.

I am his first friend.

I am his first girlfriend.

Wait?

Wasn't the lucky audience yesterday Xiao Xue?

Why is the theme of today's diary about me? Oh no! It's over, I'm dead. Su Chen, that bastard, said from the start that I was an ungrateful wretch; there's no escaping it today.

Hu Liena suddenly panicked.

Teacher, you have to believe me.
