Who Has a Death Wish?

Watching Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, and Tang Ya chat more and more enthusiastically, Lin Ye felt rather emotional.

I never expected to run into Tang Ya here. Tsk, tsk, Tang Ya really is quite pretty. That was to be expected, though. After all, the female leads of Douluo Continent are definitely not lacking in looks. But I'm still a little curious—why did Bei Bei choose Tang Ya? If we're talking childhood sweethearts, he hadn't known Tang Ya for that long, had he? Zhang Lexuan, Senior Sister, was the one who had truly grown up with him. And a mature, gentle, intelligent older sister—how much more attractive was that to a teenage boy? Yet he chose Tang Ya, who was about the same age as him. Could a young girl really compare to a charming older sister? I certainly don't agree. If I were in Bei Bei's position, I would definitely choose Zhang Lexuan.

At Shrek Academy.

Zhang Lexuan was also reading the diary. Once she finished its contents, her body stiffened, and the tips of her ears instantly turned red.

She and Bei Bei had grown up together. Calling them childhood sweethearts would not have been an exaggeration, but she had always treated Bei Bei as her younger brother.

Even if she was supposed to be his child bride... that had only been their outward relationship. In truth, their bond was still that of siblings.

But what Lin Ye had written in the diary... What did he mean by saying teenage boys would all be attracted to her? What did he mean by saying that he would choose her if he were in Bei Bei's shoes?

Zhang Lexuan shook her head helplessly and gently pressed her fingertips against her burning cheek.

Lin Ye was only twelve years old. What kind of messy things did he think about all day?

Yet for some reason, when she recalled the words "mature, gentle, intelligent older sister" from the diary, her heartbeat still sped up inexplicably.

As for Tang Ya, her body hasn't developed yet. There's nothing where there should be something. Being able to like her at all must be some kind of fate. Between cute and sexy, which one is more attractive? That's the problem Bei Bei faced. Without hesitation, he abandoned sexy and chose the cute Tang Ya. All I can say is that Bei Bei still doesn't know how to enjoy life.

Tang Ya, who had been staring at the diary, noticed its update immediately.

Tang Ya subconsciously clenched her fists. She was both angry and aggrieved, unable to stop herself from retorting inwardly, What does he mean, my body hasn't developed and there's nothing where there should be something? What's wrong with me?!

But angry as she was, she could not help secretly glancing at Bei Bei beside her. Then she thought of Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan, whom the diary had mentioned, and an inexplicable sourness rose in her heart.

Cute and sexy... Could it be that Bei Bei truly preferred mature, intelligent older sisters?

The instant that thought surfaced, it grew wildly in her heart like weeds, even dulling the grievance she had felt moments ago.

Back to the main topic. Since the plot has officially begun, I should start planning my next moves. By the way, has Sky Dream Ice Silkworm already told Huo Yuhao everything that just happened? I feel like that kid Huo Yuhao has secretly glanced at me several times. He thinks I didn't notice. Heh, what an innocent little guy.

Things were exactly as Lin Ye had written. Just moments ago, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit had already told him everything.

That included the origins of its million-year cultivation and its complete plan to help him become a god.

Of course, it also included the terrifying fact that the boy beside him already knew Sky Dream Ice Silkworm existed and knew all of his secrets.

Though he was young, Huo Yuhao had matured early. He had already realized that this was the greatest opportunity of his life, his only hope of escaping his past suffering and rising above others!

But now, a second person knew about it?

Huo Yuhao's heart was in turmoil. Nervousness, excitement, fear, and all sorts of emotions intertwined, leaving his entire body somewhat stiff.

He subconsciously raised his head and secretly glanced in Lin Ye's direction. Just one look—he wanted to see what reaction this boy who knew his secret had.

But the moment his gaze fell there, he met Lin Ye's eyes.

The boy's eyes were clear yet deep, carrying a faintly teasing look that was neither quite a smile nor not a smile, as though he had already seen through every one of Huo Yuhao's thoughts.

Huo Yuhao shuddered in fright and hurriedly lowered his head, his heart nearly leaping out of his throat.

Seeing his panicked appearance, Lin Ye could not help raising an eyebrow inwardly.

The current Huo Yuhao was still far too green.

That kid Huo Yuhao was peeking at me too. Looks like I was right after all—Sky Dream Ice Silkworm really did tell him everything. Huo Yuhao may look harmless enough, but he's actually quite ruthless. Surely he isn't thinking, "Since you know my secret, you have a death wish," is he? That line may belong exclusively to Tang San, but Huo Yuhao should be capable of saying it too. His viciousness is no less than Tang San's.

If Huo Yuhao really thinks that way, then all I can say is that it isn't me who has a death wish—it's you. What a joke. I have the Diary System as a cheat, along with the advantage of knowing the plot ahead of time. If I still can't beat Huo Yuhao, a pawn controlled by others, then I might as well stop living and jump off a building.

In the Star Dou Forest, at the bottom of Lake of Life.

Gu Yuena, with silver hair and purple eyes, watched the diary contents appearing in her mind. A trace of undisguised disdain surfaced on her stunning face.

"He can't even conceal the most basic emotions, and this is the person who will become a god in the future?"

Gu Yuena's voice was cold, carrying a faint but irrepressible anger.

She had lived for so many years and seen countless outstanding figures among Soul Beasts. Which one had not possessed extraordinary talent and an unyielding mind?

Yet even so, most of them had ultimately fallen beneath the Heavenly Tribulation of godhood, ending in death and oblivion.

But a human brat who could not even hide his thoughts would actually become a god successfully in the future?

The more Gu Yuena thought about it, the angrier she became. Was humanity's path to godhood truly that easy?

Back to Tang Ya. Her purpose in coming to the Star Dou Forest this time is to add poison attributes to her Blue Silver Grass. No, I just want to ask one thing. Blue Silver Grass is a life-type Martial Soul, so what idiot came up with the idea of adding poison to it? Oh, I remember now. It was the legendary Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang. Then it makes sense. Yu Xiaogang could even make a ten-year Lone Bamboo Tang San's first Soul Ring. Adding a little poison isn't so hard to understand after that.

Tang Ya's emotions had completely shifted from her initial grievance into shock and confusion.

Lin Ye had previously mentioned that following Tang San's path with a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was wrong, but never before had he directly struck at the core issue of her cultivation path like he had today.

Adding poison attributes to Blue Silver Grass was an idea that had been instilled in her from the very beginning of her cultivation.

A Blue Silver Grass Control System Martial Soul had to follow the path of poison control to unleash its greatest power.

She had always believed that without question. She had even intended to find a suitable poison-type Soul Ring and add poison to her Blue Silver Grass.

But the content in Lin Ye's diary was like a bolt of thunder exploding directly in her mind.

Blue Silver Grass was a life-type Martial Soul, so what idiot came up with the idea of adding poison to it?

That was right...

The Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul possessed vigorous vitality. Every blade of grass was brimming with life.

This was a life-type Martial Soul...

Its core should have been endless vitality, limitless control ability, using inexhaustible life force to Entanglement, restrain, and nourish itself.

Yet she had wanted to add poison to it and take the poison-control path? Wasn't that putting the cart before the horse?

What did a blade of grass need poison for?

Why had she never considered this question before?

A tempestuous sea surged within Tang Ya's heart. The cultivation path she had always regarded as sacred had been wrong from the very beginning?

If Lin Ye had not awakened her through his diary, she might have continued blindly down that road. In the end, not only would she fail to achieve anything in cultivation, she might even completely stray onto the wrong path.

At that thought, Tang Ya could not help shuddering. Her gaze toward Lin Ye was filled with indescribable gratitude and lingering fear.

Lin Ye did not notice Tang Ya's gaze. By now, he was fully caught up in writing.

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, that master and disciple pair, can only be described as two oddballs. One dared to say it, and the other actually dared to believe it. I don't know whether Tang San, after becoming a god, realized that his so-called teacher was a complete fraud. Maybe that was why he did not let his teacher become a god. But the early Tang San really treated Yu Xiaogang like a father. Whatever Yu Xiaogang said went. Luckily, Tang San had transmigrated from a martial arts world, so he had a cheat too. Of course, his cheat wasn't particularly powerful, but at least he had one. Otherwise, Yu Xiaogang would have ruined him long ago. A useless man who never broke through Rank 30 in his entire life actually called himself Grandmaster. That really is the funniest joke I've ever heard.

Not far from Lin Ye, Wang Dong'er could not help rolling her eyes as she read the diary in her mind.

"Bei Bei doesn't know how to choose, but you do?"

Wang Dong'er curled her lips and muttered inwardly, Zhang Lexuan, Senior Sister this, Zhang Lexuan, Senior Sister that. You haven't even met her. How do you know she's that great? Hmph!

But when she saw the diary mention that Yu Xiaogang had never broken through Rank 30 in his life, she froze as well.

Though Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang was not as famous as the first generation of Shrek Seven Monsters, his reputation was still resounding.

But such a legendary figure had never broken through Rank 30 in Soul Power?

Was that... really true?

At Shrek Academy's Outer Court.

Xiao Xiao's little face was full of sudden realization. She had found it strange earlier when Lin Ye said Tang Ya wanted to add poison attributes to Blue Silver Grass. It had felt wrong, but she could not put her finger on why.

Now that Lin Ye had explained it, everything became clear in an instant.

That was right! Blue Silver Grass was a life-type Martial Soul! It should naturally follow the path of endless life. Adding poison was not putting the cart before the horse?

And Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang—she had heard of him too. His name was renowned, and he had been praised to the heavens as the foremost authority on Martial Soul theory.

Yet Lin Ye said Grandmaster had never broken through Rank 30 in his entire life? Xiao Xiao widened her eyes, her ingrained understanding shaken to its core.

In the dense forest not far away, the Emperor Auspicious Beast, Three-Eyed Golden Lion, covered in golden fur, was lying in a hollow within a large tree.

She had long since recovered from the earlier shockwave of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Spirit Power. As the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the level of her Spirit Power was so high that even an Ultimate Douluo could not compare. Naturally, she had awakened the fastest.

She did not move, merely hiding quietly in the tree hollow and secretly observing the distant activity through gaps in the branches and leaves.

Her cultivation was not particularly high, but as the core of the Star Dou Forest's fortune, the aura of the entire Star Dou Forest was under her control.

As long as she wanted to hide, even a Super Douluo would never discover her traces without conducting a meticulous carpet search.
