Gu Yuena, the Unlucky One, Couldn't Sit Still

Having naturally become a true First-Level Soul Engineer, when Xiao Hongchen heard that I was preparing to work hard at cultivating my Soul Power, he immediately said there was no need to go to so much trouble. He would provide me with pills to help my Soul Power increase as quickly as possible.

Although the Diary's fixed daily reward of one level of Soul Power meant I had no use for those pills, they could still help me cover up why my Soul Power was increasing so quickly.

After being oppressed and bullied for so many years at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, the first kindness I had ever felt from outsiders came from Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen. There was nothing more to say. If I got anything good in the future, I had to remember them more.

However, Xiao Hongchen had just said that Wang Dong'er and Di Qiu'er had come looking for me. I had no idea what they wanted. Forget it, I shouldn't think about it. Staying away from women for the time being and focusing on my career was what I should be doing at this stage. I was the man they could never have!

After seeing this entry, Meng Hongchen immediately became very happy. When she had learned that Huo Yuhao wanted to defect to the Sun Moon Empire, decisively calling her brother Xiao Hongchen and going to the border to find Huo Yuhao had indeed been the most correct choice!

Although Huo Yuhao's experiences from his previous life meant that his true self was not as innocent as he appeared on the surface, his experiences under the White Tiger Duke over the years had made him deeply remember anyone who treated him with kindness.

Only...

"Yuhao! If you really want to thank me, why not mention my name a few more times in the Diary? I want rewards!"

Seeing that no new content appeared in the Diary after Huo Yuhao wrote that final sentence, Meng Hongchen became rather frustrated.

Especially after counting and discovering that Gu Yuena, Wang Dong'er, and Di Qiu'er had all met the requirements, Meng Hongchen felt even more dejected. She truly wanted to rush over to Huo Yuhao right now and make him write her name a few more times no matter what.

However, she forcibly suppressed that impulse.

"Those who achieve great things do not sweat the small stuff. Just as Gu Yuena said before, there is no need to fixate on a single day's rewards. If I accidentally expose myself, I might never receive rewards again in the future. After all, when I previously tried to tell Yuhao about the existence of the Diary Copy, I would always feel my heart palpitate."

"Yuhao will reach level seventeen tomorrow. At most, in another three days, he will meet the standard of a Soul Grandmaster and will definitely need to hunt for a Soul Ring. No matter what, I can't let anyone else snatch away the task of helping Yuhao hunt a Soul Ring. This young lady has claimed all three of that day's rewards!"

Meng Hongchen had originally planned to act cute around Jing Hongchen over the next few days and get some effective pills from him, then give them to Huo Yuhao so he could use them as a cover. At the very least, people would not find it too shocking that he had risen from a one-ring Soul Master to a two-ring Soul Grandmaster in just a few days. Unexpectedly, Xiao Hongchen had beaten her to it.

Just as Meng Hongchen resolved to help Huo Yuhao hunt for a Soul Ring in a few days, Wang Dong'er and Di Qiu'er, who had been dejected after failing to meet Huo Yuhao, were walking back to their dormitory side by side. They suddenly saw Huo Yuhao mention their names in the Diary, and they had just met the requirements to receive rewards.

The two girls moved in perfect sync, clenching their fists in excitement at the same time.

"Great!"

Hearing them speak in unison, Wang Dong'er and Di Qiu'er could not help looking at each other. Their previous feeling of shared hardship instantly vanished, as though sparks had begun to flash where their gazes collided.

"Looks like we'll still be rivals from now on."

Wang Dong'er's gaze swept over Di Qiu'er before finally stopping at that prominent spot. She glanced at herself from the corner of her eye, feeling slightly disheartened.

After noticing where Wang Dong'er was looking, Di Qiu'er deliberately puffed herself up and said with a smile, "Weren't we rivals from the start? When it comes to Diary Copy rewards, I won't yield to anyone!"

While comforting herself that she was still young and would definitely become very well-endowed in a few years, Wang Dong'er met Di Qiu'er's gaze without backing down. "Then we'll each rely on our own abilities from now on!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Dong'er and Di Qiu'er snorted at the same time, then turned and walked off in different directions.

After Di Qiu'er returned to the dormitory and saw that Gu Yuena had not yet gone to sleep, she hesitated for a moment but still wanted to reconcile with her. Even she had to admit that she had been somewhat impulsive earlier.

However, Gu Yuena completely ignored her attempt at reconciliation. Did the dignified Silver Dragon King, the Soul Beast Co-Lord, not have any pride? Did she think she could earn forgiveness so easily? No way!

Di Qiu'er was also unhappy. So what if she was the Soul Beast Co-Lord? Wasn't Di Qiu'er also the Emperor Auspicious Beast favored by the will of the Douluo Plane?

Ever since the day she was born, Di Tian had raised her. She had never had any real concept of Gu Yuena as the Soul Beast Co-Lord before. Moreover, Di Qiu'er was arrogant by nature, so of course she would not humble herself to curry favor with Gu Yuena.

Even knowing that Gu Yuena was the Soul Beast Co-Lord made no difference!

Early the next morning, as the Diary Copy pulsed in their minds, Gu Yuena and Di Qiu'er opened their eyes at almost the exact same moment.

With equal tacit understanding, they began checking what rewards meeting yesterday's requirements had brought them.

However, the moment Di Qiu'er saw the reward list, she could not stop herself from laughing.

Reward One: Soul Power increases by one level. Recipients: Gu Yuena, Wang Dong'er, Di Qiu'er

Reward Two: Receive a Magical Blessing. Recipient: Wang Dong'er. Magical Blessing effect: Heal (after use, perfectly heals any injuries suffered by the body and soul)

Reward Three: Receive a random reward. Recipient: Di Qiu'er. Random reward drawn: Soul Ring Absorption Card (after use, allows the user to ignore bodily limits and absorb a Soul Ring of any age)

"Pfft."

Looking at the recipient list, Di Qiu'er could no longer hold it in. Although Gu Yuena had met the requirements for rewards twice in a row, she had only received the guaranteed reward each time. She had not gotten either of the two random rewards even once.

So this was the luck of the Soul Beast Co-Lord?

Even Gu Yuena, who had always been exceedingly rational and calm, was filled with irritation upon seeing the recipient list and hearing Di Qiu'er's laughter. She turned her head and coldly stared at Di Qiu'er. "What are you laughing at?"

Di Qiu'er's expression straightened, and she repeatedly waved her hands. "I'm not laughing at anything. I just thought of something happy."

Gu Yuena's little face darkened, and her fists were already clenched. She felt that receiving only one level of Soul Power—the most useless reward to her, equivalent to the level of a human Soul King—twice in a row would surely make her the laughingstock among the women who possessed Diary Copies.

When had the dignified Silver Dragon King, the Soul Beast Co-Lord, ever suffered such indignity?

However, when she clearly read the explanation for Wang Dong'er's reward, her purple eyes widened slightly, and she abruptly sat upright in bed.

"Heal? A Magical Blessing that can heal any injury?!"

Three updates today. There will be another update this afternoon.
