Mother and Daughter's Nighttime Talk

[Host has completed a Roast Diary entry and unlocked one roast slot.]

Chu Bai did not give much thought to this newly acquired slot and directly gave it to Zhu Zhuqing. The reason was that Zhu Zhuqing's sudden visit that day had caught him completely off guard.

He regretted it deeply!

"I really deserve to die!"

Chu Bai sighed.

Meanwhile, when Qian Renxue saw that Chu Bai intended to have Bibi Dong come see her so soon, she immediately became somewhat flustered. Though she had been the one to suggest it, actually opening her heart to Bibi Dong was still rather difficult for her.

After struggling for a while, Qian Renxue finally made up her mind. "So be it. What happened back then needs to come to an end eventually."

"I promised Grandfather that no matter what the truth was, I would judge right and wrong from my own perspective. This is something I have to go through."

"Say, Old Poison, how is Dugu Yan's strength after taking the immortal herbs?" Chu Bai asked.

"Yan Yan's Soul Power has now risen to level forty-six. And with the immortal herbs balancing things out, her poison arts have improved immensely! If I'd known those immortal herbs were this miraculous, I would've picked them and eaten them long ago."

Dugu Bo spoke with a broad smile.

At that moment, he truly felt that following Chu Bai had indeed been the right choice.

Not only had his own problem been resolved, but Dugu Yan's problem had also been solved. He had no attachments in life; Dugu Yan was his only weakness. Now that everything was settled, how could he not feel relieved?

"If that's the case, let her go to Spirit Hall with me this time. The Spirit Hall Team is only missing her."

Dugu Bo had no objections to the proposal.

His only condition was that he had to come along. Otherwise, he would not feel at ease leaving Dugu Yan alone.

"Holy Son, what plans do you have for the Spirit Hall Team in the upcoming All Continent Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament?" Dugu Bo asked curiously.

There was no doubt that with a monster like Chu Bai, the others were no longer that important.

"Of course, I'll build a team where every member is at least a Spirit King, perhaps even Spirit Emperors." Chu Bai smiled faintly.

"Hiss..."

Everyone could not help but glance sideways at him.

With a lineup like that, why even enter the tournament? He might as well go straight there and collect the championship prize himself.

With Spirit Kings and Spirit Emperors everywhere, who could possibly fight them?

"The Heaven Dou Empire is just ahead," Dugu Bo said.

"Mm. Teacher, someone in the Heaven Dou Empire wants to see you. Let's rest there for the night today," Chu Bai said to Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong had not expected Chu Bai to bring this up so suddenly. Of course, she knew whom he meant—Qian Renxue. Yet Bibi Dong hesitated. When it came to her daughter, she truly did not know how to begin.

"All right..."

Upon arriving in the Heaven Dou Empire, Dugu Bo naturally went to find Dugu Yan. Yue Guan and Gui Mei remained nearby, while Bibi Dong went with Chu Bai toward the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

With the token Qian Renxue had given him, Chu Bai easily entered the palace with Bibi Dong. Soon afterward, they saw Qian Renxue in disguise. Fortunately, it was already late at night, so their meeting did not attract anyone else's attention.

"I've done everything I can. You two talk."

Chu Bai spoke to the two women, then left the palace.

"I wonder what these mother and daughter will manage to talk about. But seriously, why have all these women started acting strange ever since I began writing my diary...?"

Chu Bai walked down the street, puzzled.

"They aren't surprised at all by how quickly my strength has improved. And Xiao Wu seems to have broken with Tang San? Even Qian Renxue noticed Tang San ahead of time?"

Chu Bai seemed to think of something. "Could they see the diary I write?"

"Impossible. Absolutely impossible!"

Chu Bai immediately laughed at himself. How could that be possible? If they really could read the diary, then considering how he roasted them in it every day, he would have been chopped into pieces long ago. How could he possibly still be alive?

"Whatever. Maybe I'm just too heroic. Tang San couldn't beat me, so his true nature started showing. Xiao Wu saw that he wasn't a good person and simply left him."

"Mm, perfectly reasonable."

Early the next morning, outside Heaven Dou City.

Dugu Bo arrived with Dugu Yan. When Chu Bai saw Dugu Yan, she noticed him as well, but she did not seem particularly pleased to see him. Seeing that, Chu Bai could only refrain from speaking to her.

"Haha, Holy Son, when are we leaving? This old man can't wait to retire in Spirit Hall!" Dugu Bo laughed heartily.

"Old Poison, you really have no backbone. Who was it that said he would rather die than join Spirit Hall?" Yue Guan shot Dugu Bo a disdainful look.

Dugu Bo rolled his eyes at him. "What do you know? That was before I understood what kind of person the Holy Son was. Now that I do, naturally I'm joining Spirit Hall. Why else would I stay in the Heaven Dou Empire? Don't tell me I should join that Shrek?!"

"I think that's a good idea." Chu Bai nodded.

"Good idea, my ass! That Shrek is clearly no good at all, and that Tang San is a complete piece of trash! So what if his father is Tang Hao? His son is still no good!"

Dugu Bo curled his lip.

Chu Bai smiled helplessly. If this fellow learned that, in the original timeline, he and Tang San had become friends despite their age difference, what kind of expression would he make?

"Xiao Bai."

At that moment, Bibi Dong's voice rang out.

Bibi Dong slowly descended from the sky. What surprised Chu Bai, however, was that Qian Renxue had come along as well.

"Why... are you here too?" Chu Bai asked curiously.

"Crown Prince Xue Qinghe?" Dugu Bo looked confused. What did it mean for the Heaven Dou Empire's crown prince to be this close to Spirit Hall?

Qian Renxue looked at Dugu Bo warily. In that instant, she had already considered silencing him permanently. But on second thought, Dugu Bo could now be considered one of their own, so she did not pay it much mind.

"I'm going back to Spirit City for two days," Qian Renxue said.

The expressions on the faces of Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, grandfather and granddaughter, were utterly spectacular. Chu Bai watched with great interest. But judging by Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong's expressions, it seemed the two had finally put aside their past grievances.

That was a good thing as well.

"Holy Son, tell me what's going on here. Has the Heaven Dou Empire's crown prince defected to the enemy?" Dugu Bo leaned closer and asked in a low voice.
