Su Chen was at a loss too.
[Forget it. I'm too lazy to rant about Tang Buddha. There's way too much to tear into. I'll give him his own special rant next time.]
[Huo Wu really doesn't have much of a story to write about. She's the daughter of the Dean of Blazing Fire Academy and was spoiled rotten from a young age—hot-tempered and domineering.]
[Unlike those other love-struck idiots, Huo Wu is pretty normal. After repeatedly losing to Tang San in the Soul Master Tournament, she starts picking fights with him, then falls for him and takes the initiative to pursue him.]
[In the end, when she realizes it's all for nothing, she comes to her senses and chooses Feng Xiaotian, the simp who's always been by her side. She's probably just a minor character, so she isn't as hopelessly love-addled as those other supporting characters.]
Now then.
Huo Wu, who had been brimming with excitement, went completely dumbfounded when she read that.
"That's it?"
"It's over already?"
I've taken my pants off, and this is all you've got, Su Chen? You're that short?
Damn it!
Couldn't you hold on a little longer?
I'm almost there—ah, no! If you'd held on a little longer, my reward would've been here.
Huo Wu hurriedly and nervously began counting the names in the diary...
"Ah!!!"
Huo Wu's furious roar rang throughout Blazing Fire Academy. She was truly at a loss.
She was clearly a lucky reader. She'd even been named! Damn it! And yet, because she didn't have much of a story, she'd ultimately lost to Dugu Yan.
Su Chen, oh, Su Chen!
You damn bastard, with such a short and weak performance, I really worry about your future wives!
Huo Wu was furious, but she also felt terribly unlucky. Any other day, she might have been fine with it. But today, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had absorbed Immortal Herbs, and Su Chen had written about them so much, while he'd barely written about her.
"Ugh."
Huo Wu was frustrated. She had to find that bastard. She had plenty of heartwarming childhood stories, too!
You could've even made some up for me!
On the carriage.
"Pfft."
Dugu Yan couldn't help bursting into laughter.
"Hahaha...!"
Ye Lingling covered her mouth and giggled, too.
They'd both silently counted the names just now, and in the end, they'd reached the same conclusion: Huo Wu was out!
Because she had no story, because there was nothing to poke fun at, she'd lost the thousand-year boost to all her Soul Rings. Who knew whether that was a good thing or a bad one?
Dugu Bo watched them, utterly confused. What had gotten into them?
Su Chen opened his eyes and asked suspiciously,
"Yanzi, did you find money?"
Dugu Yan grinned. "How did you know? I really did find some."
At that moment.
The women with Diary Copies suddenly realized something: being a lucky reader didn't mean you'd receive the next day's reward.
An ordinary life didn't mean a happy one.
To get a reward, you needed a story. You needed something people could poke fun at. Better yet, you needed to be like Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, constantly on Su Chen's mind.
Oh!
Thank goodness Yu Xiaogang and Tang San didn't have Diary Copies. Otherwise, who could ever compete with them?
Suotuo City.
Rose Hotel.
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong couldn't help laughing out loud, either.
They also thought this woman named Huo Wu had been incredibly unlucky.
She hadn't even gotten a reward?
Tang San's face darkened. He grew even more suspicious of Ning Rongrong's reason for approaching him. How had she gotten so close to Xiao Wu so quickly?
At the hotel front desk.
Ning Rongrong slapped down a gold card. "Hey, get us three rooms. The best ones you've got!"
The receptionist looked down and replied timidly,
"I'm sorry, guests. We only have one room left."
Ning Rongrong's face darkened. She snapped, "I said I want three rooms, so I want three rooms. Stop wasting my time and get your boss out here."
Damn it.
You're disrespecting me in front of my friend?
Xiao Wu also thought Ning Rongrong was arrogant, with far too much of a princess's air about her, and hurried to stop her.
"Forget it, Rongrong."
Ning Rongrong looked frustrated.
"But I don't want to go looking again. Besides, I wouldn't like any of the other places. Don't worry, Xiao Wu. I'll make sure you stay here tonight, and I want to have a good talk with you this evening, too."
"Hey! Go get your boss out here. I'm offering to buy your hotel at a premium!"
Xiao Wu was speechless. She'd never met anyone so extravagant. She wouldn't even dare throw her money around like that when buying Red Carrots!
Tang San frowned, feeling more and more that something was off. Ning Rongrong seemed to come from a powerful family. What was her reason for approaching him?
"Rongrong."
Xiao Wu thought it over, then said, "Let's just get one room and share it. Tang San can go find another hotel. There's no need to buy this one."
Buy a hotel just to stay one night?
Xiao Wu couldn't understand it. Was Ning Rongrong just putting on a show of wealth, or was she up to something?
"Pfft!"
A snicker came from outside.
A blond Dai Mubai walked up to the front desk, one arm around each of two buxom beauties, and mocked them,
"Where'd this little girl come from? Think you're playing house?"
"Buying the place at a premium, huh?"
I had to admit, twin sisters had their charms.
Ning Rongrong's expression instantly turned cold. She glared at Dai Mubai and cursed, "Who do you think you are, mocking me? Believe me, I can have someone cripple you!"
"Hm?"
Dai Mubai's expression turned icy, his gaze sharp.
"Leave, or die."
"You..."
Ning Rongrong clenched her fists, enraged by his threat.
She turned to Tang San and shouted, "Tang San, teach him a good lesson for me! I'll pay you!"
Ning Rongrong knew Dai Mubai wasn't someone to mess with, but she also knew Tang San was a transmigrator. He could surely beat Dai Mubai.
However.
Tang San refused. "Sorry! I'm under no obligation to help you. We've only known each other for one afternoon."
"Xiao Wu, let's go!"
Tang San was already trying to avoid her. There was no way he'd help her.
But things didn't go as Tang San expected.
Xiao Wu stepped directly in front of Ning Rongrong and said,
"Rongrong, I'll help you!"
Hm?
Tang San couldn't believe it. Ever since they'd met Ning Rongrong today, Xiao Wu seemed closer to her than she was to him.
"Good!"
"Xiao Wu, let's team up."
"Unleash your Martial Souls!"
Soft Bone Rabbit, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
They each had two Soul Rings.
Dai Mubai sneered. "Since you're both Soul Masters, this'll be easy to settle."
"Two Soul Grandmasters think they can challenge me?"
"Come on!"
"I won't even use my third Soul Skill!"
As he spoke, he unleashed his White Tiger Martial Soul, along with two yellow Soul Rings and one purple one.
"Seven Treasures turn, glazed light shines. Seven Treasures Have Names: First, Strength. Second, Speed."
Boosted by Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu charged at Dai Mubai.
"Hah!"
Dai Mubai laughed scornfully, not taking the two of them seriously in the slightest. He was level thirty-seven, after all.
Indeed!
Even with Ning Rongrong's support, Xiao Wu still wasn't Dai Mubai's match. Xiao Wu was level twenty-nine, while Ning Rongrong was level twenty-seven.
"Second Soul Skill: Charm."
Just as Dai Mubai let his guard down, Xiao Wu's Soul Skill caught him by surprise. She followed up immediately with her second Soul Skill.
"First Soul Skill: Waist Bow."
Xiao Wu rushed forward and unleashed a flurry of kicks, leaving Dai Mubai completely stunned. Then she grabbed his arm, spun around, and kicked both feet into his stomach, sending him flying.
Bang!
That blow was vicious. It sent him all the way outside the hotel.
This move was called—Rabbit Kicks Eagle!
