Women Slow Down Sword Draws, Rich Women Don't

After Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Huo Yuhao left, Jing Hongchen's expression turned serious, his gaze instantly growing profound.

"Send someone to Star Luo to investigate. Find out whether the matter concerning the White Tiger Duke's Mansion is truly as Huo Yuhao described."

Lin Jiayi was not the least bit surprised, but he still asked, "If things really happened to Huo Yuhao as he said, how should we treat him?"

Jing Hongchen glanced at Lin Jiayi.

"Do you even need to ask?"

"If Huo Yuhao was truly abandoned by his biological father and had lived under suppression and bullying since childhood, if even his mother's death was caused by people from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion beating her, do you think he would forgive them? Do you think he would not dream of taking revenge one day?"

By the end, even Jing Hongchen could not help but laugh.

"If Huo Yuhao was truly driven by his so-called family to flee to our Sun Moon Empire, then when the opportunity arises, I must personally express my gratitude to the White Tiger Duke."

"They surely cannot imagine what Huo Yuhao means to us Soul Engineers!"

As his words fell, the office was immediately filled with a cheerful atmosphere. Jing Hongchen and Lin Jiayi could not help but laugh wantonly at those short-sighted fools.

They were truly looking forward to seeing just how vast the ultimate range of Huo Yuhao's Mental Detection and Sharing, which expanded alongside his strength, could become!

If it could be increased a little more, then the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Tool Master Corps would be able to carry out precise strikes while simultaneously saturating an area with firepower. Just imagining that scene was terrifying!

While Lin Jiayi arranged a private dormitory room for Huo Yuhao, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen treated him to an extravagant meal, ordering a whole table full of the finest and most expensive Soul Beast meat.

As Xiao Hongchen put it—

"Eat as much as you want, Yuhao. You treated Meng and me to grilled fish before, so we're treating you to a feast."

Meng Hongchen smiled as well. "Xiao is right, Yuhao. Try these and see how they taste. Eating this highly nutritious Soul Beast meat regularly does more than fill your stomach—it nourishes your body and improves your physical fitness."

Xiao Hongchen nodded repeatedly, folding his arms across his chest as he grinned. "Don't feel burdened. We know that given your situation in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, forget eating Soul Beast meat to improve your physical fitness—even getting enough to eat normally wasn't easy. From now on, eat as much as you want. Meng and I will cover all the expenses! Soul Engineers have it way too easy when it comes to making money!"

"Of course, don't misunderstand, Yuhao. We're not doing this for any other reason. We just want you to grow stronger faster and expand the range of your soul skills."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's expression immediately became somewhat strange.

Tsundere characters have already fallen out of the meta!

And besides, Xiao Hongchen, why are you, a grown man, acting tsundere? Huh?

Before Huo Yuhao could complain, Meng Hongchen swung her little fist and punched her brother directly in the shoulder. Ignoring Xiao Hongchen's reaction, she merely looked at Huo Yuhao and said seriously, "Ignore him. If you feel bad about it, then after you become a Soul Engineer, you can treat us in return."

Although Meng Hongchen knew that Huo Yuhao was already a First-Level Soul Engineer, she still pretended not to know. She had already tried earlier—whenever she had the thought of telling Huo Yuhao about the Diary Copy, a sudden palpitation would strike her heart, leaving her completely unable to speak.

This confirmed Meng Hongchen's earlier guess. In front of Huo Yuhao, she could only pretend not to know about what he had written in the Diary.

Huo Yuhao ignored the tsundere Xiao Hongchen and nodded heavily at Meng Hongchen. "I will!"

After saying that, he dug into the delicacies on the table with gusto.

Seeing that his tsundere act had not worked, Xiao Hongchen could no longer keep it together. He cast his younger sister a resentful glance and wanted to say something, but since he had never had much authority before her, he could only give up in the end and vent all his frustration on the food.

Meng Hongchen simply propped her chin up with both hands, watching the scene with a smile and having no intention of joining in. Just watching the two of them eat so heartily somehow made her feel a little full.

But at that moment, the Diary Copy in her mind suddenly began to stir. Meng Hongchen could not help but give Huo Yuhao a strange look. Even while eating, did he not forget to write in his diary?

Alright, I've successfully enrolled in the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy and become an honored student of New Student Class One. Next, all I need to do is keep my head down and develop, cultivate while learning Soul Tool knowledge, and write in my diary every day. From now on, being low-key and steady will be my defining trait!

Here, I must especially thank Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen. Of course, mainly Meng Hongchen, Miss Meng. There's nothing much to thank Xiao Hongchen for. In the future, I'll just activate Mental Detection and Mental Sharing a few more times so he can enjoy himself more (doge face).

As for Meng Hongchen, all I want to say is this: a sword must stay away from emotions. Women only slow down my sword draw! But rich women don't! Rich women only make my sword sharper! Clearly, Miss Meng is a rich woman who can make my sword sharper (sideways grin)!

Enough said. I can't let Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's kindness go to waste, so I'll dig in first!

Seeing the bizarre words in the Diary Copy, Meng Hongchen's cheeks quickly flushed. She hurriedly lowered her head to avoid letting Huo Yuhao or her brother notice anything strange.

But beyond her shyness, Meng Hongchen felt even more smug.

Huo Yuhao had kept saying before that he could not let romance-brain infect him and had to focus on building his career. Yet now, was his mindset not gradually changing?

Since that was the case, then she would let Huo Yuhao properly experience what a rich woman's offensive was all about!

Meng Hongchen had already made up her mind to let Huo Yuhao experience the benefits a rich woman could bring him. But it was already late today. After traveling for so long, even she was tired. Naturally, Huo Yuhao needed a good rest first. Tomorrow, she would officially launch her offensive against him!

With that mindset, after the meal ended, the three of them returned to rest separately.

However, early the next morning, the Diary Copy frantically stirring in her mind prevented Meng Hongchen from maintaining her habit of sleeping until she woke naturally. The moment she woke up, she opened the Diary to see what Huo Yuhao had written this time.

But upon seeing the contents of the Diary Copy, Meng Hongchen was immediately stunned.

The Diary's owner has successfully written diary entries for three consecutive days and mentioned one person's name ten times in a single day. The Diary Copy's functions have officially begun.

"What? The Diary Copy has special functions too? What are they?"
