Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Qian Renxue’s Confusion—Am I Really a Hopeless Romantic?

Some of the female protagonists couldn't help but wonder just what kind of probing Su Ming had used to get Qian Renxue to reveal her true identity.

Diary Entry: "All I did was ask Qian Renxue a single question—really, just one. Pretending to be Xue Qinghe, Qian Renxue invited me to serve under her. Naturally, I couldn't agree. I'd be acknowledging her authority over me, after all."

Diary Entry: "So, I told her that while I could join the Heaven Dou royal family, I'd only serve the empire, not her personally. If the Heaven Dou Empire were to face a crisis in the future, I would do everything in my power to prevent it. Then I let her choose, as a test."

Diary Entry: "If she agreed, I'd keep my word. But I could see her face stiffen instantly—what a dilemma for her! Smart as she is, she realized that if she accepted, I'd truly join. But once she showed her true identity, we'd end up as enemies. On the other hand, if she refused, it would be very suspicious. After all, she's the crown prince, so why wouldn't she accept my offer?"

Female protagonists: Now they understood why Qian Renxue had acted as she did. With her years of reading Su Ming's diaries, she knew that he was a man of his word. Agreeing to his offer would have been foolish!

Diary Entry: "So, Qian Renxue led me to her chambers and released the disguise from her spirit bone, revealing her true appearance. Seeing her in person was a whole different level of impact compared to using Fiery Eyes!"

Diary Entry: "Standing there in her true form, she invited me again. I bet she thought her beauty would make me say yes, especially since she'd already investigated me after my conflict with Xue Beng. She probably thought my only flaw was a weakness for pretty faces."

Female protagonists: Isn't it?

Diary Entry: "Yes, I admit I like beautiful women, but I have my principles. So, I told her, yes, she's beautiful, and we could be friends. She was stunned! She must've been thinking, 'Doesn't he like beautiful women?'"

Diary Entry: "Did she think her charm was lacking? Couldn't believe I only wanted to be friends?"

Diary Entry: "Of course, I had my reasons. Qian Renxue's mother is none other than the powerful Spirit Hall leader, Bibi Dong, and her grandfather is the rank 99 Limit Douluo Qian Daoliu—both top figures in the world. Even if she were interested, I have Xiao Wu and Rongrong in my life already. There's no way they'd allow Qian Renxue to share me with anyone else."

Diary Entry: "And during our conversation, I noticed something odd. For some reason, Qian Renxue seems to have made peace with Bibi Dong. It's hard to believe Bibi Dong could have overcome her mental barriers and reached out to her."

Diary Entry: "In the original story, their strained relationship left Qian Renxue emotionally deprived. Later, when she met Tang San, his strength and talent impressed her, and she tried recruiting him. After several failed attempts, she somehow fell for him. I have to wonder if Qian Renxue isn't just a hopeless romantic—maybe she even enjoys a bit of rejection!"

Diary Entry: "The colder Tang San was to her, the more intrigued she became. When she had the chance to kill him, she let him go!"

Qian Renxue: Hearing all this left Qian Renxue questioning everything. Was she really a hopeless romantic? Or, even worse, someone who enjoyed rejection? Did she genuinely get more excited when people ignored or refused her?

Impossible!

Right now, Qian Renxue couldn't accept that notion. She figured it was probably Tang San's dismissive attitude that sparked a desire within her—a feeling that made her want what she couldn't have.

Yes, that had to be it!

Diary Entry: "And this brings up another frustration. In the original story, during Qian Renxue's coup in the Heaven Dou Palace, it was Tang San who foiled her years-long mission. At the time, she was at the Spirit Saint level, while Tang San was only a Spirit Emperor. Her Angel Domain should have easily overpowered his Blue Silver Domain. And yet, Qian Renxue let him escape, and her mission failed when Emperor Xue Ye regained consciousness!"

Diary Entry: "Reading that part was mind-boggling. Qian Renxue was clearly stronger, so why didn't she finish him off? Instead, she held back, tried to recruit him, and each time, he grew stronger."

Diary Entry: "Initially, it might have been somewhat understandable. At that time, her relationship with Bibi Dong was terrible, and she didn't know her father had killed Tang San's mother. Tang San, on the other hand, was clear on his stance. Even though he was mesmerized by Qian Renxue's beauty, he had no desire to serve under her."

Diary Entry: "But as the story progressed, things got stranger. Qian Renxue knew about the hatred between them, yet she continued to seek his allegiance. During the final battle at Jialing Pass, Bibi Dong seized an opportunity and killed Tang San. Qian Renxue's reaction was silence. She returned to her side and accused Bibi Dong of killing him without her permission, saying Tang San could only die by her hand. Bibi Dong immediately sensed something wrong and asked, 'Do you love Tang San?'"

Diary Entry: "After a pause, Qian Renxue admitted it. She even declared that she would never forgive Bibi Dong, proclaiming them enemies from then on!"

Diary Entry: "Tang San's fate was, of course, the product of destiny. With the support of four gods—Sea God, Asura God, Food God, and Nine-Colored Goddess—he came back to life. Frankly, it was absurd!"

Diary Entry: "Technically, deities aren't supposed to intervene in the mortal world, but these four gods broke the rules. It's understandable for Food God and Nine-Colored Goddess, being lower-ranked deities, but Asura God was the enforcer of divine laws! Yet he violated them!"


Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Qian Renxue’s Shock—How Could Su Ming’s Description Be About Me?

Diary Entry: "Although Asura God didn't openly intervene, due to Xiao Wu acting as Tang San's sheath, he could discreetly shield Tang San through her, ensuring his godly aura remained hidden. Otherwise, with Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue's sensitivity, they would definitely have sensed Tang San's revival."

Diary Entry: "And Sea God's favoritism was even more blatant. On multiple occasions, he spared Tang San's life, whereas without such divine protection, Tang San wouldn't have survived long enough to face Qian Renxue or Bibi Dong."

Diary Entry: "Tang San had four gods on his side. Meanwhile, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were alone, only inheriting divine roles without the personal intervention of their gods. It's rumored that both Rakshasa and Angel Gods had perished long ago, leaving only their legacies in the world."

Diary Entry: "Now, with Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong apparently reconciled, it's a positive development. At least Qian Renxue is now aware of her enmity with Tang San and won't foolishly try to recruit him again."

Diary Entry: "Put it this way—if Tang San's father had killed Qian Renxue's family, could she really not hate him? Would she even think of recruiting him? Surely, her first instinct would be how to end him, not hire him!"

Reading these passages, Qian Renxue clenched her fist tightly, her face paling. She struggled to understand how she could ever fall for Tang San. Was it really because she was a hopeless romantic? Could she have truly loved her enemy and even let him go multiple times?

If it weren't for Su Ming's honest reputation, she'd suspect he was outright lying just to mess with her!

Diary Entry: "Then again, I have my doubts. Although Tang Hao severely wounded Qian Renxue's father, it was Bibi Dong who struck the final blow. Given their seemingly improved relationship, that conflict may now be resolved."

Diary Entry: "Both Qian Renxue's father and Bibi Dong share blame in that history, though I wonder how Bibi Dong explained this to Qian Renxue."

Reading this, Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong both fell into deep thought.

Bibi Dong reflected on her own responsibility—she was, after all, directly involved in Qian Renxue's father's death. It would be fair for Qian Renxue to hold a grudge.

And Qian Renxue, upon learning the truth through Su Ming's diary, had indeed initially harbored resentment towards Bibi Dong. However, she had eventually worked through her emotions on her own.

After lengthy reflection, she empathized with Bibi Dong's situation. Wouldn't she have done the same in her mother's place?

After finding peace with her decision, her grandfather's words also echoed in her heart. Despite knowing that his son had been killed by Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu had chosen not to retaliate.

So, she reasoned, would turning against Bibi Dong ultimately mean having no family left? Since childhood, she had longed for her mother's approval. If she had truly been robbed of her innocence, she might have sought revenge and then taken her own life.

While Bibi Dong may have borne the greater responsibility, her father's missteps had also been significant. As a woman herself, Qian Renxue found it easier to relate to Bibi Dong's experience.

Reaching this realization, Qian Renxue grew more uneasy, cold sweat forming as she considered—did she truly have a touch of romantic folly? Was it possible she and her mother both shared this trait?

Diary Entry: "Today, as I entered Qian Renxue's chambers, she dropped her disguise after failing to recruit me, teasing me with a look and calling me 'little brother.' Outrageous! How could she know if it's little or not without checking herself?"

Diary Entry: "A blow to my pride as a man! Naturally, I didn't back down, calling her my 'big sister' who's ten years my senior—ha! She flinched at that."

Qian Renxue:

Female protagonists:

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, still youthful themselves, were unaffected, while Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong, and Bo Saixi, who were older, fell into uncomfortable silence. Didn't he realize age was a delicate matter for women?

Diary Entry: "In the end, we both compromised—she would call me 'Su Ming-didi' (younger brother), while I called her 'Qian Renxue-jiejie' (big sister). Maybe this little interaction helped us get along better."

Diary Entry: "When we entered her chambers, Qian Renxue sealed the entire palace. I casually revealed her bodyguards, Snake Lance and Porcupinefish Douluo, and questioned her sudden reveal after only a bit of probing."

Diary Entry: "Her answer was reasonable enough, and that ended the conversation."

Diary Entry: "Understandably, Snake Lance and Porcupinefish were shocked that I'd noticed them, despite their concealment. They've hidden well over the years, unnoticed by Dustheart, Bone Douluo, or even Dugu Bo, only to be discovered by a mere Spirit Ancestor like me."

Diary Entry: "Their surprise makes sense. They must have special artifacts to help conceal their presence, undetectable unless a high-level Douluo with strong mental awareness catches them."

Diary Entry: "Unluckily for them, my spiritual power is leagues ahead of my spirit rank. I'm close to the Vast Realm—the same level Bo Saixi has reached with her spiritual power."

Upon reading this, Bo Saixi was taken aback, realizing that Su Ming's spiritual cultivation was incredibly advanced. With consistent cultivation over the years, his mental strength now surpassed his spirit rank!
