The rewards in the diary were divided into five tiers: White, Purple, Black, Blue, and Gold!

Black Rewards ranked third. Seven of them had to be collected before they could be fused into a Blue Reward.

To fuse a Black Reward, ten Purple Rewards were needed!

"A Black Reward actually gave me something like this!"

Cang Lan looked at the Golden Pen in his hand and chuckled.

The lower the reward tier, the worse the quality of the item it produced.

Getting this pen was not bad, but it was also truly useless.

Primordial Dream: Spirit Artifact. The Primordial Illusion Dragon had been refined into its body. Simply write another person's name on paper with it, and you could glimpse what was on their mind and learn a fragment of their fate!

The Primordial Dream was over six inches long.

Its entire body gleamed gold, with gilded dragon patterns coiling around it. Golden light flowed across them, making the lifelike dragon patterns seem almost alive!

You could say this pen was useless!

Peering into fate already involved the secrets of heaven.

Being able to defy the laws of the Heavenly Dao and glimpse fate, it logically should not have been merely a Spirit Artifact.

But then again, you could say it was useful!

It needed paper to write names.

And the amount of information it revealed depended on the quality of the paper.

If it were ordinary toilet paper, it would not be able to withstand the tip of the pen and would immediately shatter into scraps!

At first glance, this reward felt like some insanely awesome treasure.

But in reality, it was useless for now!

Don't ask!

The answer was that there was no paper in the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion.

After putting away the Spirit Artifact, Primordial Dream, Cang Lan summoned the diary.

Emmmm...

Good news: there was a huge treasure among the Black Rewards!

Bad news: there was only one huge treasure among the Black Rewards!

And it was a Golden Pen...!?

As he wrote this, Cang Lan, a survivor who had slipped through the net of nine years of compulsory education, suddenly had a flash of inspiration. A mysterious smile immediately appeared at the corner of his lips.

To be fair, although this pen reminded me of some unpleasant things, it isn't completely useless!

At the very least, just by writing someone's name on paper, I can see what they're thinking and even learn a fragment of their fate.

I was just wondering what my wife Xun'er, my wife Yun'er, my wife Ya Fei... are thinking right now!

Hehehe... Being able to directly see my wives' secrets, this treasure is so exciting...!

Maybe I can use it to figure out the current timeline!

"Don't look...!!!"

The women: (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻

Seeing Cang Lan's newly revealed secret, the women were seized by panic. Their beautiful faces instantly lost color as they hurriedly shook their heads, trying to fling Cang Lan's evil image out of their minds.

Just now, they had thought Cang Lan was up to no good.

After all, an eighteen-year-old man was full of youthful vigor, and Cang Lan was outrageously fickle.

It was only natural for them to think of that sort of thing!

Although paper could not wrap up a fire.

In certain circumstances, paper was the only thing that could be used to wrap it!

But now, Cang Lan had obtained a treasure that could peek into their thoughts.

If he wrote one of their names at this moment!

Then... everything in their minds would be exposed directly before Cang Lan.

If that happened, Cang Lan probably would not be using it to figure out the timeline—he would be trying to take their lives outright!

Though they enjoyed openly peeking at Cang Lan's secrets and gossiping!

That did not mean they could accept Cang Lan learning their own secrets!

At this moment.

The women's hearts were a tangled mess, and they silently prayed within themselves.

"Don't write my name!"

"Whatever you do, don't write me...!!!"

At the Xiao Clan, Loli Xun'er's tender little face was flushed red, looking utterly adorable as she hurriedly covered her eyes with both hands.

"Bad brother, please... don't write my name!"

"Xun'er wasn't thinking about anything..."

"Xun'er really won't think nonsense! I'm still little, I don't understand what you mean by needing paper!"

Xun'er covered her eyes, too afraid to look at the diary, continuously murmuring under her breath.

At the peak of the Misty Cloud Sect's rear mountain.

"Bastard, if you dare write this Sect Master's name, I definitely won't let you off!"

Standing atop a massive boulder, Yun Yun thought to herself. Though her face was crimson red, it could not conceal the panic in the young woman's expression.

But she did not even know where the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion was!

And Cang Lan was already a Three-star Dou Huang. Even if she refused to let him off, she would not be able to defeat him.

Besides, she was the one who had first peeked at Cang Lan's secret.

Since she was in the wrong, she still could not accept Cang Lan hearing her inner thoughts!

Although she had never shared intimate contact with a man throughout her years of cultivation.

What young girl did not harbor a princess dream in her heart? Who had never fantasized about her Prince Charming?

The one she loved was a peerless hero. One day, he would ride seven-colored auspicious clouds to marry her!

Even though she had never personally experienced matters between men and women, that did not mean she was ignorant of them!

If Cang Lan learned that she had actually harbored such wicked thoughts just now!

Her dignity as Sect Master would be shattered beyond repair in her own heart.

Just thinking about being able to see his wives' inner thoughts was thrilling, but unfortunately... there was no paper in the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion!

"Phew~"

Seeing new words appear in the diary again, Yun Yun, whose shy beauty seemed ready to drip with tenderness, let out a long breath, as though she had narrowly survived a disaster.

"Couldn't you just finish writing what you wanted to say next time?"

Yun Yun clenched her pearly teeth so hard they nearly shattered, silently cursing in embarrassment and anger. Then, her beautiful eyes rippled like autumn water as a trace of confusion rose within her heart.

Why had she thought of those things just because Cang Lan needed paper...

"Could it be that I...?"

"Impossible. This Sect Master would never fall for a flirtatious, fickle man, much less have a favorable impression of him!"

A terrifying thought suddenly surfaced in her heart, frightening Yun Yun into hurriedly denying it and consoling herself.

She then hastily shifted the blame onto Cang Lan.

"It's all his fault... Why would a hot-blooded man alone in the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion suddenly need paper!"

"Who knew he wanted paper to write names!"

(;)

After learning that there was no paper inside the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion, the women all let out long breaths and settled their panicked, suspended hearts.

At that moment, they secretly rejoiced that Cang Lan could not find any paper, allowing them to escape a calamity.

At the same time, the women wished they could hide every sheet of paper in the world.

"Why did this mysterious notebook give him a pen...!!"

As long as that treasure remained in Cang Lan's hands.

Sooner or later, their inner thoughts would no longer be able to remain hidden!

And they had no way to stop it.

"Damn it... who invented paper? He's absolutely detestable...!!!"

"Why did you have to research paper when you had nothing better to do...?"

Knowing that Cang Lan would eventually be able to see their inner thoughts, the women directly aimed their anger at whoever had invented papermaking.

Fortunately, the inventor of papermaking on the Dou Qi Continent had died who knew how many years ago.

If he had learned what the women were thinking.

He really would have been done for!

"Ding! Congratulations on reading for seven days. Your reward is now being distributed!"

Just as the women were plagued by unease over their inner thoughts, a mysterious voice suddenly rang out in their minds!
