"Uh, what?"
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were both dumbfounded!
They'd been laughing at Huo Wu just yesterday. Turns out they were the real clowns!
Diary Copy.
If you keep this up, we're going back to Gotham City.
"How infuriating!"
Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth.
"That Huo Wu got to be the lucky audience yesterday, and now she's lucky again today! She didn't get the first reward, but she got the second one."
"These people are one more infuriating than the last!"
Xiao Wu pouted angrily too. "Exactly! I want to be the lucky audience. I want to ask him about myself, but he won't even give me the chance!"
Ning Rongrong suddenly asked, "Xiao Wu, if I become the lucky audience and ask Su Chen where to find that Immortal Herb, wouldn't that solve everything?"
Blazing Fire Academy.
Huo Wu's grin was harder to suppress than an AK's recoil!
Hahaha!
So what if you don't write about me, you bastard Su Chen? I'll earn my rewards with my own strength.
Tomorrow, I'll define the topic again.
This is great.
Huo Wu tossed and turned in bed, her little butt sticking up high as she reveled in her excitement.
What should I ask tomorrow?
What should I write about?
No!
Tomorrow, I'll make you write about me again. From now on, I'll make you write about me every day. Let's see if you'll give me some screen time and a story, Su Chen!
The next day.
Martial Soul Hall Branch.
Hu Liena was completely limp. Her perfect face was full of alluring charm, and now that she'd become a woman, she was even more captivating. Looking at her made Su Chen want to use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill again.
"Wait!"
Hu Liena suddenly felt the yang energy rising in Su Chen's body and hurriedly said, "We practiced the Martial Soul Fusion Skill all night last night. I'm really exhausted now. My Martial Soul can't take any more."
Su Chen kissed Hu Liena and smiled. "What are you thinking?"
"I can see you're out of strength, too. If you've still got enough energy, sit up and absorb the Immortal Herbs."
"Immortal Herbs?"
Hu Liena sat bolt upright. Of course! No matter how much a field was plowed, it was still a field. Too much plowing left it fallow—unlike a cow!
Su Chen took out several Immortal Herbs and said, "The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower are both extremely yang in nature, so they aren't suitable for you. I'll absorb them when I have time."
"These three are Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Narcissus Jade Bone, and Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew..."
Su Chen immediately explained the effects of the three Immortal Herbs, as well as the conditions for claiming the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.
Hu Liena's expression turned complicated. The Lovesick Heartbreak Red was clearly the best, but she wasn't sure she could claim it. She was also afraid Su Chen would be unhappy if she failed.
"You choose for me."
Hu Liena looked at Su Chen seriously.
Su Chen considered it, then said, "The Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew would help you more. It can strengthen your spiritual power. Eat it, and you can cultivate Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze, seeing through all kinds of rare treasures. But it won't increase your Soul Power."
"The Narcissus Jade Bone can nourish your muscles and bones, open up your seven meridians and eight channels, and increase your Soul Power."
"As for the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, that's not your problem. You're not my only wife, so how could I expect you to be single-minded?"
Hu Liena pouted and wrapped her arms around Su Chen. "I'm not choosing one yet, but I want you to save the Lovesick Heartbreak Red for me."
"If you keep treating me well, I'll definitely prove myself with the Lovesick Heartbreak Red one day!"
Su Chen pinched Hu Liena's * , making her cry out despite herself.
"Rest for now. Remember to have someone arrange a meeting with Qian Renxue for me. I'll visit Lingling's home during the day. Since I've basically eloped with her, I should go meet her family."
Listening to Su Chen, Hu Liena suddenly smiled and asked, "You've already taken me completely, so when we get back to Spirit City, will you come with me to see my teacher?"
"Bibi Dong?"
Su Chen paused, then looked at Hu Liena with a complicated expression. "I'll definitely meet her!"
"To be honest, there's something off about your teacher. You don't understand her, but I do!"
"If she were normal, I'd bring a generous betrothal gift. But I'm afraid she'd take it and blow up Spirit Hall."
Hu Liena: ???
Actually, Su Chen had never said it outright.
If Bibi Dong were normal—or if he were dealing with some other normal villain—even without any strength, he'd have used his knowledge and ability to predict the future to join their side.
He'd read stories where the protagonist came clean from the start. Sure, he might've been put under guard and had his freedom restricted, but a lifetime of good food and drink was still better than what most people got.
But Bibi Dong was Blind Douluo!
She was bent on destroying the Angel Clan and the whole world. Su Chen really didn't dare take that risk.
Hu Liena's feelings were complicated. She'd read Su Chen's diary, so naturally she knew what he was talking about!
Sigh.
Thinking about it gave Hu Liena a headache, too. She thought for a moment, then asked, "You say my teacher isn't normal. Could you help make her normal?"
Su Chen thought it over, then answered seriously, "There are two ways!"
"First, I reach a certain level of strength, so I can change someone's fate with a wave of my hand, alter their memories, or cleanse their negative emotions."
"Second, I become stronger than her, capture her, and thoroughly tame her until her body and heart are shaped in my image."
"I'm not strong enough for either of those yet, so you'd better work hard and join forces with Qian Renxue to stage a coup as soon as possible!"
"I..." Hu Liena was completely dumbfounded. Listen to what you're saying! Is that something a son-in-law should say?
"Get some rest!"
"I'll take Lingling home, then bring you all to meet Qian Renxue tonight."
Su Chen rubbed Hu Liena's * and got up to leave.
Hu Liena looked helpless.
Teacher, how am I supposed to save you? Can you even be saved?
Damn Yu Xiaogang.
Hu Liena clenched her teeth, hatred surging in her heart. When she and Qian Renxue had talked yesterday, they'd already been discussing how to make him suffer.
Outside.
Ye Lingling stood there with her head lowered, her face red.
Su Chen came over and took her hand. Confused, he asked, "What's wrong? Your face is so red first thing in the morning. Are you running a fever?"
Ye Lingling hurriedly shook her head. She looked at Su Chen as if she wanted to say something, but in the end her face grew even redder.
"Did you not sleep well last night?"
Ye Lingling nodded vigorously, thinking, You two were making so much noise practicing the Martial Soul Fusion Skill. I was right next door!
I was even pressed up against the wall... Ahem.
"Let's go to your home."
Su Chen led Ye Lingling outside and continued, "Hu Liena is Bibi Dong's disciple and will become the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall. Your family will have better prospects there than in Heaven Dou City."
"And you'll have me, too."
"Mm, thank you, Su Chen."
"I never imagined I'd be so lucky as to meet you!" Ye Lingling's cheeks were flushed, but she spoke with complete sincerity.
"You don't need to thank me. You should thank your mother for giving birth to such a clever daughter. Otherwise, anyone hearing the things I said while pursuing you would've thought I was an idiot!"
"I should thank your mother, too, for giving birth to such a beautiful daughter. That's how I found such a lovely wife."
Su Chen's sweet words made Ye Lingling's heart bloom. Unable to help herself, she leaned in and kissed him.
