Rewards Earned With One's Life (8th Update)

That night.

Su Chen was cultivating within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. This treasure land provided a massive boost to cultivation in its own right, and he had also consumed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Delicate.

The subsequent effects would not only elevate his spirit power but also significantly strengthen his physique and his Three-Origin Internal Energy.

Dugu Bo was also cultivating.

As for Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, they had set up a tent and were waiting for their daily rewards.

Beep!

[Diary, recording a wonderful transmigrator life.]

[Distributing rewards...]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward: All spirit ring ages increased by 1,000 years.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a random reward: God-Bestowed Spirit Ring.]

While cultivating, Su Chen saw the diary rewards and felt quite satisfied. It was perfect timing, as the two immortal herbs he had just consumed had pushed his level to twenty.

The spirit ring had arrived at just the right moment.

However.

There was no rush to absorb it. If he waited until he finished his cultivation tonight and further improved his strength, he would be able to absorb at least an extra twenty thousand years' worth!

Inside the tent.

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan were quietly waiting for the copy rewards to be distributed. Their names had only appeared once yesterday, and quite a few people had been mentioned.

The two of them did not hold out much hope.

[Distributing copy rewards...]

[Congratulations to Hu Liena, for being mentioned most frequently in the diary, obtaining the reward: All spirit ring ages increased by 1,000 years.]

[Congratulations to Qian Renxue, for being randomly selected in the diary, obtaining the random reward: Spirit power increased by one level.]

[Congratulations to Huo Wu, for becoming the lucky viewer, eligible to customize one diary-related theme.]

It was just as Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan had expected; their names had only appeared once, so they hadn't been drawn.

Dugu Yan pondered for a moment before speaking, "Lingling, how about we just come clean to Su Chen and tell him we have a Diary Copy? We could ask him to write about us more often, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling's expression turned complex.

"I want to as well, but looking at Su Chen's situation, Hu Liena and Bibi Dong haven't told him. If we tell him, it might not be for the best."

"Of course, that's from your perspective; for me, it would be all gain and no loss. But if we tell Su Chen, we might very well end up on bad terms with Hu Liena and the others."

Dugu Yan looked confused.

"Why am I having trouble understanding you?"

Ye Lingling thought for a moment and explained simply:

"Hu Liena and the others aren't telling Su Chen because they're likely afraid that if he finds out, he won't write about certain secrets in the diary anymore—secrets that are incredibly helpful to their Spirit Hall."

"If we tell Su Chen, that love-struck master and disciple from Spirit Hall will definitely hold a grudge against us. Su Chen may be mysterious and powerful, but just how formidable is Spirit Hall?"

"Finally, if Su Chen finds out about the Diary Copy, he will surely only write about the people he is involved with, like me and Hu Liena."

Dugu Yan nodded thoughtfully and muttered:

"You're still the smart one, Lingling. But... if you told Su Chen, I imagine you could get rewards every single day. Why haven't you thought about bringing it up?"

A helpless smile appeared on Ye Lingling's face.

"I want to, but I'm the second girlfriend. Since Hu Liena has chosen not to say anything, I certainly can't go against her."

"After all, she is the elder sister. How could I offend her before we've even met?"

Dugu Yan curled her lips with a sour expression. "Why does it look like you're so smug that you can't even keep your mouth from curling up?"

Ye Lingling hugged Dugu Yan's slender waist and giggled.

"Yanzi, are you envious?"

"Listen to me, what's the point of just envying others? We have to take action ourselves. Tell me, am I right, third sister?"

"Huh?"

Dugu Yan was completely stunned.

How could you possibly help your husband pick up other girls?

At the Crown Prince Mansion.

Qian Renxue was also filled with joy.

Well done, Nana!

I didn't expect that while helping you get a reward, you'd actually manage to bring me along for the ride...

Wait?

How was I brought along? Was it because that woman's favoritism made Su Chen unable to help himself from complaining about her repeatedly?

In an instant.

Qian Renxue couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time; this single level of spirit power had not come easily!

Nearly ten years of bitterness...

Hmm?

Huo Wu, another new name.

Qian Renxue furrowed her brows, beginning to search her memory. As the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, she naturally kept herself informed about the geniuses of the Blazing Fire Academy.

It seemed there were quite a few people who possessed a Diary Copy, and the competition was growing increasingly fierce.

Indeed.

Blazing Fire Academy.

Huo Wu, who had been a spectator for so long, jumped straight off her bed in joy.

"Is it finally my turn this time?"

"Hahaha!"

Huo Wu danced with delight, her C-cups nearly popping out.

What should she write?

Clad in a thin nightgown, Huo Wu began pacing back and forth on her long legs, pondering what would be best to write.

"That's it!"

Huo Wu's brows suddenly smoothed out, and she muttered happily, "What could I possibly ask? Of course, I want him to write about me more so I can get the spirit ring reward."

After speaking, Huo Wu happily threw herself onto the bed, excitedly fantasizing about her next spirit rings all being purple—that would be so cool!

Spirit Branch Hall.

Hu Liena looked at her reward and couldn't feel happy at all.

A reward?

She had traded her life for it!

Qian Renxue, oh Qian Renxue, I really have to thank you for the reward you sent over. Now, how am I supposed to explain this to your mother?

"Sigh."

Hu Liena let out a long breath, unable to stop herself from wondering what that little rascal Su Chen was doing.

Could he be holding Ye Lingling while he slept?

Wuwuwu—!

Su Chen, you bastard, I hate you!

Spirit Hall.

Pope's Bedchamber.

Although Bibi Dong hadn't received a reward today, she was still very happy because both people who had received rewards were her daughters.

Just as Bibi Dong was preparing to go to sleep, a voice came from outside.

"Your Holiness, are you asleep?"

Bibi Dong sat up, recognizing the person outside as her subordinate, Spirit Kite Douluo, and felt a bit puzzled.

What could she possibly want at such a late hour?

Wait.

Bibi Dong realized it in an instant. If nothing went wrong, this Spirit Kite must also be one of those who possessed a Diary Copy.

What a schemer.

It seemed she had discovered the appearance of this new Huo Wu and, knowing she couldn't keep it hidden forever, had come to confess.

"Come in."

As Bibi Dong's voice fell, a voluptuous, charming mature woman walked in and closed the door behind her.

"Your Holiness."

Bibi Dong's expression was calm, lacking her usual icy nobility, as she said peacefully:

"Come forward and speak."

Hearing this, Spirit Kite moved forward and stopped in front of Bibi Dong, who was sitting by a stool.

"Sit."

Bibi Dong spoke indifferently, and Spirit Kite felt somewhat flattered. Clearly, she deeply agreed with Su Chen's assessment: Bibi Dong was a total lunatic.

Powerful in strength and ruthless in her methods.

Although it wasn't appropriate to think of her direct superior this way, it was indeed the impression Bibi Dong gave off; she had even offed the previous Pope.

Good heavens.

How terrifying. Unlike her, who only wanted to be written into the diary by little brother Su Chen.
