I'm Face-Blind—I Don't Know If They're Pretty

"Damn Ju Zi! Damn Wang Dong'er! Xiao Xiao, Xu Tianzhen, Ye Guyi! And Gu Yuena and Di Qiu'er too! I was clearly the first one to meet Yuhao, yet every single one of you just had to come and steal him from me! I absolutely can't let you take Yuhao away!"

Meng Hongchen abruptly sat up from her bed, carefully picked out a blue-and-white dress, and began dressing herself up with utmost care. She refused to believe she was inferior to the others!

Other than Gu Yuena, Meng Hongchen did not think her looks were inferior in any way. Besides, Huo Yuhao had personally written in the Diary that white hair and red eyes perfectly suited his tastes.

Failing to meet the requirement yesterday had only been an accident. If she prepared properly today, Meng Hongchen could not see how she could lose!

However, Meng Hongchen was not the only one with that mindset.

Gu Yuena was holding back her desire to obtain the other two rewards. She felt that one of them would surely be capable of helping her injuries recover quickly.

Di Qiu'er was even more frustrated. She had been only one mention away from meeting the requirement yesterday, yet Huo Yuhao had suddenly stopped short. Di Qiu'er truly wanted to grab Huo Yuhao by the collar and ask him properly whether he was this short-lived at everything he did.

Although Wang Dong'er had received a reward that could double the age of a Soul Ring, she had forcibly restrained herself.

After spending the entire day together yesterday, Wang Dong'er had completely understood that getting Huo Yuhao to mention her name more than ten times in the Diary was definitely not as simple as they had initially imagined.

She had met the requirement this time by luck, but who could guarantee that she would keep receiving rewards in the future?

For that reason, Wang Dong'er planned to temporarily store that reward in the Diary Copy and use it once a suitable opportunity arose.

If that reward could be used on a fifty-thousand-year Soul Ring, it would directly raise it to the level of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring. What Soul Master could possibly resist the temptation of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring?

Though Ju Zi envied Wang Dong'er's reward, she felt that what she had received was not bad either. Aside from her Soul Power permanently increasing by one rank, she had also received a Magical Blessing that would last for half a month and make her cultivation twice as effective.

As long as she cultivated diligently during those half a month, she could definitely raise her Soul Power by at least another rank.

Of course, aside from working hard at cultivation, Ju Zi was equally unwilling to give up the rewards from the Diary Copy. Nothing else needed to be said—just the fact that having one's name mentioned more than ten times could raise Soul Power by one rank was enough to drive everyone below the Soul King realm mad.

Even Ju Zi, who had already received a reward, was like this, let alone Xiao Xiao, Xu Tianzhen, and Ye Guyi.

The three of them were all holding back their frustration now. No matter what, they had to meet the requirement and obtain the rewards from the Diary Copy.

Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao, who had already realized the truth, would not let them have their way so easily. Just as he had written in the Diary yesterday, aside from attentively listening to New Student Class One's homeroom teacher, Jing Sha, explain Soul Tool knowledge, he spent all his remaining time holed up in the laboratory with Xiao Hongchen.

However, since Huo Yuhao had made up his mind to shatter the relationships among that group of beautiful girls and watch them tear each other apart, he naturally would not simply sit back and do nothing.

While making Soul Tools in the laboratory, he would occasionally write their names into the Diary in a perfectly natural manner. Yet in the end, only Gu Yuena was mentioned more than ten times.

The most unbearable part was that Di Qiu'er, the Auspicious Beast Lady, was still just one mention away from receiving a reward.

In the dormitory, Di Qiu'er saw that Huo Yuhao seemingly had no intention of continuing his Diary today. Unable to endure it any longer, she immediately revealed an angry expression and was about to rush out to find Huo Yuhao.

Gu Yuena raised a hand to stop her and frowned.

"Qiu'er, why can't you calm down? This is the human world. Your identity now is that of a new student at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, not the Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, of the Star Dou Great Forest!"

What Gu Yuena had not expected was that her words would have the opposite effect.

This time, Di Qiu'er did not obediently listen to her. Instead, she retorted indignantly without showing any weakness.

"Of course you can say that! Because you met the requirement again today, and you're still the only one who has! If no one else gets mentioned by Huo Yuhao more than ten times, all three rewards today will be yours!"

Gu Yuena was slightly stunned. Then anger surged into her heart, and her purple eyes suddenly transformed into Vertical Eyes. A terrifying pressure, enough to suffocate anyone, poured out from her body. Under Gu Yuena's control, it covered only this one dormitory room with perfect precision.

Even as Di Qiu'er's graceful, curvaceous body began to tremble slightly beneath that pressure, she still gritted her teeth and met Gu Yuena's gaze, showing no intention of backing down.

This stalemate continued for quite a while, until Di Qiu'er was about to be unable to hold on any longer, when the pressure suddenly vanished.

Gu Yuena turned around, facing away from Di Qiu'er, and said coldly, "Do whatever you want."

Di Qiu'er took two deep breaths and gave Gu Yuena's back a long look before pushing open the door and leaving without hesitation.

Gu Yuena calmly watched the dormitory door close again. After a long silence, she finally murmured, "How did things suddenly turn out like this?"

Only when Di Qiu'er arrived aggressively at Huo Yuhao's laboratory did she discover that she was not the only one who had come. Wang Dong'er was also standing outside the laboratory door.

When Wang Dong'er saw her, she frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"

Di Qiu'er did not answer. Instead, she stepped forward and asked, "Where's Xiao Xiao? Aren't you two always together?"

Wang Dong'er's breathing caught, and her mood fell somewhat. But she also sensed that something was off about Di Qiu'er and quickly asked, "Where's Gu Yuena? Why aren't you with that sister of yours?"

As soon as those words fell, Wang Dong'er and Di Qiu'er looked at each other. They could clearly see traces of bitterness on each other's stunning faces.

Wang Dong'er had not expected the friendship she and Xiao Xiao had only formed a few days ago to fall apart so quickly. Di Qiu'er also no longer wanted to obey her elder sister, Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King, as unquestioningly as before.

As they each dwelled on their thoughts, the laboratory door suddenly opened. The white-haired Xiao Hongchen stared blankly at Wang Dong'er and Di Qiu'er at the door, then said, "Yuhao said he's very busy right now. If there's anything, come back tomorrow."

Wang Dong'er and Di Qiu'er pursed their lips at the same time. Neither said anything more, and they turned to walk away side by side.

Xiao Hongchen rubbed his chin and could not help muttering, "Two such beautiful girls, and Yuhao is still going to turn a blind eye to them?"

Bang!

After Xiao Hongchen shut the door, he hurried over to Huo Yuhao, who was making a Soul Tool, and called out loudly, "Yuhao, are you sure you don't want to go out and see them? Let me tell you, based on my judgment, even compared to Meng, those two aren't inferior in the slightest! They might even be a little prettier than Meng!"

As Huo Yuhao engraved a Soul Tool core, he replied without turning his head, "I'm face-blind. Whether they're pretty or not doesn't matter to me."

I recommend a friend's book. It's in the All-People genre, so take a look if you're interested.
