Besides, Chen Mo's current height was far too absurd.
He was already 1.6 meters tall at six. Was he even human?
What Tang San didn't know was that Chen Mo's height wasn't the only absurd thing about him. His Soul Power was even more absurd.
A forty-six-year-old Soul Ancestor, four Soul Rings, the oldest fifteen thousand years old.
If word of this got out, it could scare people to death.
After walking for a while, Tang San finally couldn't hold back and changed the subject.
"Big brother, where's Dad?" Tang San asked. "Where did he go? Why hasn't he come back after so long?"
Chen Mo sneered inwardly.
Tang Hao? He was currently cosplaying Jesus in a secret chamber at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, all four limbs chopped off by Chen Mo. He was truly "having the time of his life."
But Chen Mo couldn't tell Tang San that. He still planned to raise Tang San into a good dog.
Chen Mo thought for a moment, then said with a serious face, "Xiao San, our father is very strong."
"But he has his own things to do. When the time comes, you'll naturally meet him."
Tang San froze for a moment and wanted to ask more, but Chen Mo had already changed the subject.
"Xiao San, how have things been at the academy?"
"Pretty good." Tang San nodded. "Teacher Yu Xiaogang treats me very well. He even took me as his disciple."
"Yu Xiaogang?" Chen Mo raised an eyebrow. "That Grandmaster who's invincible in theory but useless in actual combat?"
Tang San: "..."
He wanted to argue, but didn't know how.
After all, Yu Xiaogang's theories really were impressive, but his combat ability... really wasn't much.
When he hunted for his first Soul Ring, if he hadn't brought his Hidden Weapons, the two of them would probably have ended up as fertilizer in the Soul-Splitting Forest.
Just then, a little girl with a scorpion braid ran over.
"Xiao San!" Xiao Wu waved happily. "You're back!"
Then she saw Chen Mo.
The instant she saw him, her body abruptly stiffened.
It's him! The one who wrote in his diary, "Such a cute rabbit can't be wasted on Tang San"!
The one who knows I'm a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, yet doesn't hurt me!
Xiao Wu's heartbeat instantly quickened, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
She looked at Chen Mo, a jumble of flavors churning in her heart.
On the one hand, she feared Chen Mo because he knew her identity.
On the other hand, she was full of curiosity about him, because the Chen Mo in the diary was so mysterious, so powerful.
Besides, the system had also told her that the diary's owner would never hurt her.
"Xiao Wu!"
Seeing Xiao Wu, Tang San waved happily. "Let me introduce you. This is my big brother, Chen Mo."
Xiao Wu took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, then walked up to Chen Mo.
"Hello, my name is Xiao Wu."
Xiao Wu held out her hand, a sweet smile appearing on her face. "Wu as in 'dance.'"
"Hello, my name is Chen Mo."
Chen Mo took Xiao Wu's hand and smiled slightly. "Mo as in 'silence.'"
Her little hand is so soft. So comfortable. Tsk, tsk, tsk, just what you'd expect from a hundred-thousand-year-old legal loli.
Looking at the smile on Chen Mo's face, Xiao Wu blushed even harder and quickly pulled her hand back.
[Ding! Host's first meeting with Xiao Wu detected. Bond System activated!] [Xiao Wu's affection: unknown → 15 (curiosity + shyness + fear)]
Chen Mo chuckled inwardly.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, only 15 affection points. Looks like those earlier diary entries gave him quite a scare!
Just then, Chen Mo's Diary System suddenly chimed.
[Ding! Bond established between host and Xiao Wu detected. System upgraded!] [The system is transmitting a mandatory notification to all diary copy holders...]
At the same time, the female leads in various locations all received the system's mandatory notification.
At Nuoding Academy, a cold voice suddenly rang out in Xiao Wu's mind.
[Warning: attention, all holders of copies of Chen Mo's diary!] [One: you must not reveal any contents of the diary to anyone without a diary copy. Violators will die!] [Two: you must not harbor any intention of harming Chen Mo, much less harm him in any way. Violators will be visited by great terror and suffer a fate worse than death!] [Three: should you harbor the intention of eliminating Chen Mo, the system will directly send down heavenly punishment, annihilating both your soul and spirit!] [The above rules take effect immediately. All hosts, take note!]
Xiao Wu jumped at the sudden voice.
She looked around and found that none of the people nearby had reacted.
Clearly, only she could hear this voice.
"Violators will die... visited by great terror... soul and spirit annihilated..." Xiao Wu murmured, cold sweat breaking out across her back.
This system is way too ruthless!
She couldn't help stealing a glance at Chen Mo nearby.
The boy had his head turned to speak to Tang San, the faintest hint of a smile at the corners of his mouth, as though he knew nothing.
But Xiao Wu knew that this person concealed far too many secrets.
Should I... fear him, or get closer to him?
On second thought, however, she had never intended to hurt Chen Mo anyway, so these rules didn't really affect her.
At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Yan was cultivating when she suddenly received the system notification.
After hearing it, rather than being afraid, she smiled happily.
"Wonderful!" Dugu Yan clenched her fists. "Now no one can hurt Brother Chen Mo!"
At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong was drinking tea when she suddenly received the system notification.
After hearing it, she froze for a moment, then pursed her lips.
"Tch, this young lady would never hurt that bastard anyway."
Ning Rongrong muttered, "Still... these rules are pretty scary."
In the Star Luo Empire, Zhu Zhuqing was cultivating when she suddenly received the system notification.
After hearing it, her gaze shifted slightly.
"Must not harm Chen Mo..." Zhu Zhuqing murmured. "It seems this Chen Mo is even less simple than I imagined."
At Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong was handling government affairs when she suddenly received the system notification.
After hearing it, her gaze grew grave.
"Must not harm him... violators will die..." Bibi Dong murmured. "Just where did this system come from?"
She had originally intended to send someone to eliminate Chen Mo, but now it seemed that plan wouldn't work.
In the Heaven Dou Empire, Qian Renxue was plotting to seize power when she suddenly received the system notification.
After hearing it, a hint of amusement flashed through her eyes.
"Interesting." Qian Renxue smiled. "This Chen Mo has more and more secrets."
At Spirit Hall, Hu Liena was cultivating when she suddenly received the system notification.
After hearing it, rather than being afraid, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Wonderful. Now no one can fight me for Chen Mo, Hu Liena thought, her face flushed and her heart racing.
At Nuoding City Junior Academy, Chen Mo received confirmation that the system notification was complete.
[Ding! Mandatory notification transmission complete. All diary copy holders have received it.]
"Well, damn, this is great!"
Chen Mo nodded in satisfaction.
With these rules, he no longer had to worry about those more domineering female leads coming to challenge him to an offline 1v1.
After all, no one wanted to die, much less have both their soul and spirit annihilated.
[Thank you, brothers, for your recommendation votes! Thank you so much!]
