Second Martial Soul, Desolate!

On the way to Sunset Forest, Chu Bai once again began writing in his Roast Diary.

[I'm seriously starting to suspect I'm not the only one with a system. Did Qian Renxue get some kind of cheat too? Why had she noticed Tang San so early, and how did she know someone was backing him? This is ridiculous?!]

[Could she have been reborn? Otherwise, why would she ask me to pass a message to Bibi Dong, saying she wanted to meet her? It completely threw me for a loop—I nearly started doubting my life.]

Qian Renxue, who had just returned to the imperial palace, was feeling quite pleased with herself.

"Serves you right for roasting me. Looks like he doesn't know I can read his diary. Since I can't directly mention anything related to the diary, I can still use its contents to choke you speechless."

Elsewhere.

Bibi Dong looked at the contents of Chu Bai's diary, an unusual light flickering in her beautiful eyes.

"Little Xue wants to meet me?"

Bibi Dong was initially puzzled, but then joy welled up from the depths of her heart. Deep down, she still hoped to have a proper talk with her daughter. After all, blood was thicker than water.

"But why would Little Xue know about these things? Could she, like me, also be able to see Chu Bai's diary?"

Bibi Dong grew suspicious.

If that was truly the case, then it might explain why Qian Renxue suddenly wanted to meet her. Qian Renxue had learned through the diary what had happened back then.

"I hope that's really the case."

Bibi Dong let out a soft sigh.

At the same time, the diary continued.

[That stupid woman—no matter how she learned those things, maybe it was just a coincidence. But since she's noticed Tang San, she might keep a closer eye on him. That should make it less likely for her identity to be exposed in the future, right?]

[What's so good about Tang San? He's just a soul from another world that possessed Tang Hao's son's body. What could possibly make Qian Renxue like him?]

Another world? A soul? Possession?!

For a moment, Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and Xiao Wu seemed frozen in place.

What did that mean?

Tang San wasn't from this world?!

"His body was born to Tang Hao and that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, but his soul became one from beyond this world?" Bibi Dong said in shock.

Could such a thing really exist?

[In his previous life, he was merely an outer disciple. Never mind that he sneaked in to steal martial arts manuals—after crossing into this world, he treated that whatever-it-was Mysterious Heaven Skill like treasure and brought along a bunch of messy nonsense.]

[Hidden weapons? Utterly laughable. The only reason he's been able to cultivate so smoothly all this time is because his mental age is that of a full-grown adult, and he's lived two lives. But this bastard is seriously disgusting!]

[I simply can't imagine it: the soul of an old man making a little girl call him big brother, being lovey-dovey with Xiao Wu every day, and Xiao Wu even taking the initiative to sleep in the same bed with him. And he enjoyed it, too. Great, just great—those two really are a perfect pair of idiots!]

Bibi Dong: "..."

Qian Renxue: "..."

Xiao Wu: "..."

The three of them felt as though their entire worldview had crumbled...

Bibi Dong: "Tang San really is a piece of trash, as disgusting as Qian Xunji!"

Qian Renxue: "The soul of an adult, yet he went and tricked an innocent little girl... Heavens, how could I possibly fall for a pervert like that in the future?! Impossible, absolutely impossible!!"

Xiao Wu was even more dumbfounded.

"Tang San... isn't from this world?!"

On second thought, Tang San did seem to possess maturity far beyond others his age, and those so-called hidden weapons of his were things that did not exist in this world. By that logic, Tang San really might have come from another world!

Xiao Wu's scalp went numb.

She had called an old man big brother every day and even slept in the same bed with him??!

Xiao Wu did not dare think any further. She was afraid she would not be able to bear the disgust...

But she was already certain that Tang San had deceived her!

[Xiao Wu is interesting too. She's terrified of powerful humans, yet she deliberately runs toward crowded places. Are you really that tired of living? Still, I'm not interested in you. Otherwise, I would've killed you back on the street.]

[That Tang San guy was still peeping from behind. Was he following Xiao Wu? Whatever. I gave him another beating. Tang Hao has probably got his eye on me by now. I wonder whether Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo can stop Tang Hao.]

[I bet Tang Hao knows his son has already been possessed. He must be going mad with rage, right? But Tang Hao is a Titled Douluo, so he must have already discovered Xiao Wu's identity, right?]

Bibi Dong rose to her feet and said softly, "Gui Mei and Yue Guan are probably no match for Tang Hao. Nothing must happen to Xiao Bai..."

Qian Renxue, meanwhile, opened the window with a complicated expression. A voice came from outside. "Young Mistress, what is it?"

"Go to Shrek Academy and investigate someone named Tang San for me."

"Yes..."

After hearing that Tang San's father was actually a Titled Douluo, Xiao Wu finally made up her mind to stay far away from Tang San!!

"Tang San, you deceived me, and you did those things in the future. I will never forgive you!"

Xiao Wu looked conflicted and dejected as she took Ning Rongrong's hand and returned to Shrek Academy.

[Xiao Wu is pitiful too, but she's quite pretty. Cute loli type. Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong are probably the mature beauty type, while Ning Rongrong should count as a young girl, right? Nice, nice—now the set is complete!]

"Pervert!" Qian Renxue cursed as usual.

Xiao Wu also felt somewhat uncomfortable. This guy had actually praised her beauty in his diary?

Since he knew her identity, did he not want to kill her?

Was there really someone who did not care about a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring?

"He really doesn't seem to bear me any ill will... If he knows everything that will happen in the future, then maybe... through him, I can learn how to keep Daming Erming from coming to harm?"

"I will not let anything happen to Daming Erming!"

Xiao Wu made up her mind.

[Although Xiao Wu and Qian Renxue have different styles, their looks really aren't easy to compare. But Xiao Wu is too small. Mm, and I don't just mean her age.]

Xiao Wu froze. Not just her age?

What else could he mean?

She instinctively lowered her head. Mm, she could see her feet...

"..."

Xiao Wu's face immediately flushed red with anger.

Qian Renxue lowered her head. Mm, towering peaks...

"At least this guy has some taste. When it comes to this, not many people can compete with me." Qian Renxue smiled faintly.

[The host has completed the Roast Diary. Roast damage: High! Reward obtained: Soul Power raised to level forty-five. Second Martial Soul acquired: Desolate!]

"Desolate? Which desolate? The Desolate of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor?" Chu Bai, who was hurrying along the road, froze for a moment before bursting with wild joy.
