[I suddenly remembered something. In the setting, didn't Ice Empress like Snow Empress?

Heh heh, aren't those two both girls? No, "females" would be more appropriate.

The mighty orange is the true priority—truly, the mighty orange is the true priority. Just imagining two breathtakingly beautiful young ladies together gets me excited.

Cough, cough, I've gone off track, gone off track. I can't write that sort of thing. What if the Diary System decides I'm being lewd and bans me? I still need it to dominate Douluo Continent. I can't afford to offend it.

Back to the point: Ice Empress actually ended up with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. That was truly absurd. What was it like to date your own food?

After traveling through countless worlds and roaming the vast cosmos, Ice Empress was probably the only example. Who wouldn't you fall for, yet you fell for your own food.]

The moment those words froze in place, within the Far North Divine Temple, built from ice that had endured ten thousand years, bone-chilling cold surged wildly.

Ice Empress only glanced at it once before her entire body froze. Her fair cheeks instantly flushed crimson, and even the tips of her ears were stained red.

But that blush lasted only an instant before it was replaced by overwhelming shame and fury. Her icy-blue pupils abruptly constricted, and the cold around her exploded. Cracks instantly spread across the frozen floor of the divine temple.

"Sky Dream Ice Silkworm?!"

Ice Empress's voice trembled—not from fear, but rage.

One of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, the four-hundred-thousand-year Ice Jade Empress, a being standing at the pinnacle of Soul Beasts, would actually like a million-year silkworm?! What was that thing? It was food carved into her bones from birth!

Dating her own food?

The instant that thought surfaced, Ice Empress felt nauseated. The ice-attributed Soul Power throughout her body began to riot wildly.

She had lived for four hundred thousand years and had always been proud. She had scorned countless powerful Soul Beasts of the Far North that had courted her. How could she possibly fancy a bug that was useless aside from Spirit Power and could not even protect itself?

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Ice Empress trembled with rage, her silver teeth grinding together. "That damned Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, I'll definitely kill him! Even if I chop him into mince, it still won't ease the hatred in my heart! I feel like even eating that thing would dirty my mouth!"

With nowhere to vent her fury, she abruptly turned, intending to complain to Snow Empress about this absurdity, only to meet Snow Empress's icy-blue eyes, which held a trace of something strange.

Ice Empress instantly stiffened. The fury vanished from her face, leaving only unconcealable embarrassment. She did not even know where to put her hands and feet.

She had nearly forgotten that the owner of the Diary had just laid bare the feelings she had hidden for nearly a hundred thousand years.

She truly liked Snow Empress. From the day she had first gained sentience and Snow Empress had protected her behind her back, those feelings had been buried in her heart.

She had always thought she hid them well. She had never spoken them aloud. At most, she followed Snow Empress everywhere in daily life. Only she knew how much unspoken affection was hidden within that devotion.

But she had forgotten that Snow Empress belonged to the Snow Spirit Clan. She had been born with a clear heart and had lived for nearly seven hundred thousand years. What thoughts could she possibly fail to see through?

Snow Empress had long known of her little secret. It was simply that their identities were special, and they were both female, so it was difficult to bring it up directly. Thus, she had pretended not to notice, leaving room for them both.

But now, this mysterious Diary had torn that thin veil to shreds, leaving no room for retreat.

Ice Empress blushed. This time, it was pure embarrassment. She lowered her head, not daring to look Snow Empress in the eyes. Her fingers nervously clutched at her skirt, and even her previous fury had faded by more than half.

Meanwhile, Snow Empress stood before the throne of ice. Dressed in white, she was fairer than snow, yet the cold around her was several times sharper than usual.

Naturally, she had also seen the contents of the Diary. Compared with Ice Empress's humiliation and fury, her attention was drawn more to the line saying that "Ice Empress ultimately ended up with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm."

Ice Empress was someone she had watched grow up, someone she had protected for hundreds of thousands of years. More than anyone, she understood Ice Empress's pride. How could she possibly tolerate being bound to a silkworm?

At that thought, Snow Empress's aura instantly sank. The pressure belonging to the ruler of the Far North spread without restraint, sweeping across the entire Far North in an instant.

Across the snowfields sealed in ice for thousands of miles, every ice-attributed Soul Beast shuddered and fell flat to the ground in unison. None dared raise their heads, terrified of angering Snow Empress in her rage.

The air in the divine temple instantly froze. Ice Empress kept her head lowered while Snow Empress wore a cold expression. Neither spoke, and only the surging chill silently conveyed the turmoil of the moment.

At the same time, everyone across Douluo Continent who possessed a Diary Copy in their minds erupted into chaos.

By Lake of Life in the core region of Star Dou Forest, the Emperor Auspicious Beast, Three-Eyed Golden Lion lay on the grass. Her three golden vertical pupils were wide open as she stared at the Diary in her mind, unable to stop herself from swishing her fluffy tail and clicking her tongue.

She had originally been considering how to tell the Ferocious Beasts about these matters, only to see such explosive content. So the two great heavenly kings of the Far North had this sort of connection?

Even more absurdly, Ice Empress had actually ended up with her own food? This was the most ridiculous thing she had heard in all her life.

Within Shrek Academy's Inner Court, Ma Xiaotao had been sitting cross-legged, cultivating and suppressing the Evil Fire within her body. The Diary content that suddenly appeared in her mind instantly disrupted her concentration. Her breath went awry, and she nearly suffered backlash from the Evil Fire.

Looking at that line, her cheeks instantly turned scarlet. She could not help muttering, "Absurd," but she was still curious. Ice Empress and Snow Empress were the legendary rulers of the Far North—did they really harbor such feelings?

Xiao Xiao was also dumbfounded. She had been organizing her belongings when the contents of the Diary left her mind blank. Dating your own food? That was far too unbelievable.

Just as everyone was still recovering from this explosive revelation, the Golden Diary in each of their minds once again lit up with dazzling golden light. New content appeared line by line with perfect clarity.

[Speaking of this, I have to complain about the author of Douluo II. Making a scorpion end up with a bug—is that really a plot a human being could come up with?

And if it had only been a romance, that would have been one thing. But it was actually forced. It genuinely makes me sick.

Let me think. When did those two get together? It seems like it was Heaven-and-Earth Valley of Love Inquiry? It should have been Heaven-and-Earth Valley of Love Inquiry.

Damn, speaking of that place, its crimes are too numerous to recount. That place is one of the reasons Tang San has been criticized most harshly by countless readers.

In Douluo I, he was hypocritical and cold-bloodedly selfish, but he came from an assassin's background, so those traits were understandable.

But by Douluo II, especially at Heaven-and-Earth Valley of Love Inquiry, he was simply a pervert.

If Tang San in the past had been an extremely cold-blooded and self-centered person, then by now, he had completely become human scum—scum that could barely even be considered human.]

The instant that passage appeared, the entire Far North Divine Temple exploded into uproar.

When Ice Empress saw the words "forced," the Soul Power throughout her body instantly lost control. Her icy-blue Ultimate Ice Soul Power shot into the sky, shattering the ten-thousand-year ice atop the divine temple into pieces.

Her eyes reddened as extreme humiliation and rage swept through her entire body. She was the mighty Ice Jade Empress, yet she would be forced by a bug? This was the greatest insult she had ever suffered in her life!

"Sky Dream Ice Silkworm! If I don't grind your bones to dust and scatter your ashes, I'm not Ice Empress!"

Ice Empress's voice carried bone-piercing cold, and she nearly crushed her silver teeth.

Snow Empress's expression was even uglier. Her fingers tightened slightly around the throne's armrest, and the hard ten-thousand-year ice was instantly crushed into powder.

She had already been wary of the arrangements involving Tang San mentioned in the Diary. Now she learned that this person not only manipulated everything on a grand scale, but could also commit something so vile?

Heaven-and-Earth Valley of Love Inquiry? He used such a method to forcibly bind the Ice Empress she had protected to a bug?

An unprecedented killing intent spread from Snow Empress, and the temperature throughout the Far North instantly dropped by several dozen degrees.

Within Star Dou Forest, the fur all over Three-Eyed Golden Lion's body stood on end.

She had already been deeply wary of Tang San. Now she learned that this lofty Sea God was actually such a vile and twisted person? He even controlled matters like this?

Then his schemes against Huo Yuhao and his calculations against the entire Soul Beast Clan could only be even more terrifying than she had imagined!

Within Shrek Inner Court, Ma Xiaotao's face was filled with disbelief as she froze where she stood.

Sea God Tang San? He was the being all Soul Masters revered as a deity, the founder of the Tang Sect, the savior of Douluo Continent.

Yet the Diary claimed that he was human scum? A pervert, even? Her entire worldview shattered at that moment.

The cup in Xiao Xiao's hand fell straight to the ground and shattered. Her mouth opened, but she could not say a single word for a long while.

She had grown up listening to Tang San's legends and held the Sea God in deep reverence. But now, this mysterious Diary had ripped the mask off that deity completely.

Tang Ya felt even colder all over. She had always regarded herself as a successor of the Tang Sect, taking its revival as her duty. As for Tang San, the founder of the Tang Sect, she had revered him as a god.

But now, the contents of the Diary made her feel as though she had fallen into an ice pit. The person she had always admired was actually such a cold-blooded, selfish, perhaps even twisted person?

The Hidden Weapon in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and she sank completely into confusion.
