Although I really did not want to have too much contact with these people, even I had to admit that shopping with beautiful girls was a pleasing experience.
The only pity was that Gu Yuena and Di Qiu'er were not present. Otherwise, our group would have drawn even more attention.
Come to think of it, Gu Yuena, the Soul Beast Co-Lord and Silver Dragon King, could probably be called the greatest beauty in the Douluo series, right? At least in my impression, no one could rival Gu Yuena in terms of beauty.
Below her would probably be people like Snow Empress, Wang Dong'er, and Di Qiu'er. Perhaps Tang God King had been worried that I would notice something unusual, so when this Auspicious Beast Lady took human form, she had not adopted Wang Dong'er's appearance and instead showed her original appearance. Even so, she was still an incomparable beauty.
I wondered whether my appearance would change Snow Empress's fate. But even if she chose to take human form as before and was then locked away in the God Sealing Platform, a Rank 9 Soul Tool, I probably would not have the chance to make her my Soul Spirit.
Gu Yuena and Di Qiu'er, who were in the dormitory, were somewhat surprised after seeing this entry. They truly had not expected that, despite neither of them being present, Huo Yuhao would repeatedly mention both their names in the Diary.
On the other hand, aside from Wang Dong'er, who had already reached the ten-mention goal earlier, none of the women who had violated their agreement appeared in the Diary.
What was this? Reaping what they sowed?
After counting carefully, Di Qiu'er hurriedly turned to Gu Yuena and cried out.
"Big Sister, you've got enough! You can receive today's reward now!"
Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow. Her irritation over Wang Dong'er and the others breaking their agreement instantly subsided as she asked in return.
"What about you? How many more do you need?"
Di Qiu'er's little face scrunched up, and she replied glumly.
"Just one more! Huo Yuhao only needs to mention me one more time for me to reach the goal. Why did he stop writing?"
Even Gu Yuena could not help finding Di Qiu'er's predicament both amusing and exasperating. Still, seeing her frustrated expression, she comforted her.
"Don't worry. There's still plenty of time. You'll definitely reach ten mentions today."
Gu Yuena's comfort did nothing. Di Qiu'er had never been the calm and steady type. Now, she could clearly see that she was only one mention away from receiving a reward, yet Huo Yuhao had suddenly stopped writing. She practically wished she could do it herself and write her own name in there once!
If even Di Qiu'er reacted like this, there was no need to mention Meng Hongchen, Xiao Xiao, Xu Tianzhen, Ye Guyi, and the others, who were currently shopping around Mingdu with Huo Yuhao.
They had originally felt that it was worth celebrating that Huo Yuhao had not noticed anything unusual. But now, instead of writing the names of these beautiful girls standing right in front of him, he insisted on writing about absent Gu Yuena, Di Qiu'er, and some Snow Empress. Was that reasonable?
Was being pretty really such a big deal?
Forget it. Being pretty really did seem pretty impressive.
Even as women themselves, they had to admit that Gu Yuena absolutely deserved Huo Yuhao's title of "the greatest beauty in the Douluo series."
But was that the important point right now?
The important thing was finding a way to make Huo Yuhao mention their names in the Diary!
Unfortunately, ever since Huo Yuhao discovered that they could read what he wrote in the Diary and receive its rewards just like him, the initiative was no longer in their hands. The offense and defense had already switched!
Since he had decided to shatter the fragile alliance among them, Huo Yuhao naturally could not let them have their way no matter what.
No matter how they tried afterward, Huo Yuhao did not mention anyone's name in the Diary. Instead, he began recording interesting places around Mingdu, adding that he would come back to have fun again if he had the chance.
Huo Yuhao's disguise did not contain the slightest flaw. Everyone believed it, thinking that he had truly come out solely to enjoy himself.
Only when the sky gradually darkened, after Huo Yuhao had dinner with the beautiful girls, did he take the initiative to suggest returning to the dormitory to rest.
Although Meng Hongchen, Xiao Xiao, Xu Tianzhen, and Ye Guyi were filled with unwillingness, they could only force themselves to let Huo Yuhao leave in the end.
After saying goodbye to the beautiful girls, Huo Yuhao did not return to the academy as he had told them. Instead, he found a nearby place to hide temporarily and activated Mental Detection to observe the situation here.
Compared with when he had previously met Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, the range of Huo Yuhao's Mental Detection had increased again. If extended in a single direction, it could now reach nearly two hundred meters. The highest cultivation among them belonged to Ye Guyi, who was only Rank 36, and none of them specialized in spiritual abilities. Naturally, they could not notice Huo Yuhao secretly watching them through the million-year Soul Ring bestowed by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
Although I need to focus on building my career, there is nothing wrong with watching some excitement now and then, right? After this incident, if they still want the Diary's rewards, they will probably work even harder to show themselves off in front of me. Heh, I really am looking forward to seeing what you can come up with!
The facts proved that Huo Yuhao's prediction had been correct. After he left, the atmosphere immediately became incomparably oppressive. Ke Ke, who had seemed like an outsider throughout the day, did not even dare breathe too loudly. She could only stand there trembling, looking utterly weak and pitiful.
After noticing Ke Ke's timidity, Ju Zi patted her shoulder and spoke softly.
"Ke Ke, go back first. I have something to discuss with them. I'll return later."
Ju Zi's words were like a lifeline to Ke Ke, making her feel instantly relieved. She did not have the mind to consider when Ju Zi had become involved with these people. She immediately nodded repeatedly in agreement, then turned and quickly left.
Once there were no outsiders left, Meng Hongchen, her face filled with anger, finally looked at Wang Dong'er and the others and said coldly.
"Have you four forgotten the agreement we made before? We agreed to act normally, so why did you all come here together? Would it kill you to give up one day's reward?"
Meng Hongchen was in a terrible mood. Since these four women had appeared, Huo Yuhao had never mentioned her in the Diary again. She had only needed three more mentions before, yet she had been stuck at this stage ever since. How could Meng Hongchen accept that?
Meng Hongchen's accusation left them temporarily speechless. But Xu Tianzhen rolled her eyes a moment later and replied irritably.
"Even though we came here, didn't we still fail to get mentioned more than ten times? Besides, Huo Yuhao did not notice anything unusual, so what's the big deal?"
That only made Meng Hongchen even angrier. Completely disregarding Xu Tianzhen's status as a princess, she glared at her furiously.
"Is it my fault that you didn't get rewards? I only needed three more mentions, yet you forcibly interfered and ruined it!"
Even Xu Tianzhen felt somewhat lacking in confidence upon hearing those resentment-filled words. She truly had no way to refute Meng Hongchen.
Seeing that every one of these people was unreliable, Meng Hongchen took a deep breath and said coldly.
"I understand now. Being teammates with people like you is definitely no good thing! I'm extremely angry right now and desperately need to vent it. Let's find somewhere and fight!"
