Chapter 43: Insulting Someone's Innocence Without Reason
Zhao Ling noticed the undisguised sneer on Bibi Dong's face and couldn't help but swallow nervously. Calling out the diary panel, he began to complain.
[Oh my god, look at how Bibi Dong is about to stir up trouble with Yu Xiaogang. If I didn't know better, I'd think she's planning to chop him into pieces. It's terrifying.]
[It seems that using the damage transfer method earlier to teach Yu Xiaogang a lesson indirectly protected him to some extent.]
[I think Yu Xiaogang should come and thank me. If I hadn't saved him just now, Bibi Dong might have skinned him alive when she got down from the ring.]
[This is a life-saving favor. How can Yu Xiaogang not repay me?]
[Tomorrow, I need to think carefully about how much money to demand from him as a reward.]
[Honestly… the more I look at Bibi Dong, the more I feel she's completely different from how she's depicted as a young girl in the original novel. Instead, she resembles her older self—after being violated by Qian Xunji and falling into evil.]
[Hiss… Could it be that the supposedly innocent and kind Bibi Dong in the original novel was a façade? Could she have always been a cruel and vicious woman beneath the surface?]
[It's possible, very possible. Oh my god, was Bibi Dong always this terrifying, even as a girl?]
[Now I'm curious: what did Yu Xiaogang do in the original novel to make Bibi Dong fall in love with him? I can't fathom why she would otherwise. If Yu Xiaogang managed to win her love back then, why can't he do so now? Is something different? Ugh, what a headache.]
After venting his thoughts, Zhao Ling uploaded the diary entry and soon received a system notification: Reward: +20 years of life.
Zhao Ling felt immensely satisfied with the reward. Adding it to his previous gains and the lifespan of his current 92-level Titled Douluo state, he estimated that he could now live for 430 years—a delightful thought.
As he smiled to himself, Ah Yin, resting in his arms, looked puzzled.
What's going on? Why is this guy suddenly laughing? Did slapping himself earlier make him stupid?
But in the next moment, she saw the "Copy of Zhao Ling's Diary" appear, complete with a golden exclamation mark signaling an update. Her eyes lit up. So the diary was updated—that explains his good mood.
For Ah Yin, reading Zhao Ling's diary updates had become a daily source of entertainment, often providing amusing content. She opened the diary copy with her mind, hearing the text read aloud in a voice only she could hear.
However, her excitement dimmed as she realized the latest entry didn't mention her. This omission left her annoyed. 'Can he stop talking about Bibi Dong all the time? Am I that insignificant to him? Or are all men pigs, ignoring what they have once they've gotten it?'
But she quickly dismissed the thought. 'Wait, Zhao Ling hasn't even chased me yet. Why am I so worked up?'
'At most, we're friends. Seems… I'm overreacting.'
With a sigh, Ah Yin skimmed through the diary before closing it, disinterested in an entry devoid of her mention.
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong, preoccupied with thoughts of how to deal with Yu Xiaogang the next time she saw him, noticed the diary update notification. Raising her eyebrows, she accessed her own copy of the diary.
Upon reading Zhao Ling's latest entry, Bibi Dong was nearly speechless. 'This man is utterly shameless. He ridicules others relentlessly, calling Yu Xiaogang a waste and trash, and then has the audacity to claim he saved him?'
'He even wrote that if not for his "indirect intervention," Yu Xiaogang would've been skinned alive when I left the ring. Nonsense! Am I the kind of cruel, ruthless woman who kills people on a whim? Of course not!'
'How dare Zhao Ling slander me with baseless accusations! That man is truly infuriating.'
Her frustration deepened as she read Zhao Ling's musings about her supposedly never having been innocent or kind. 'He thinks I've always been cruel and vicious?'
'Honestly, who's responsible for my current behavior? He keeps complaining about me in his diary, corrupting my thoughts. If I've changed, he's the main culprit.'
Despite her anger, Bibi Dong knew she couldn't confront Zhao Ling about the diary's contents. She had to suppress her irritation, though a part of her resolved to make him pay someday.
'One day, I'll lock him up and make him mine. Then I'll find reasons to torment him regularly. Let him experience the consequences of slandering me.'
Elsewhere in the Tiandou Imperial City, Liu Erlong, tending to flowers in a secluded courtyard, noticed the diary update notification. Her eyes brightened as she eagerly opened her copy.
Since her diary reward the day before—a +30-year lifespan extension and a 10% reduction in aging speed—she had been ecstatic. For someone who cherished beauty and youth, the reward was irresistible.
Curious, she read the latest entry, though her excitement waned slightly as she frowned. "My cousin seems to be having a rough time. The diary writer severely punished him but insists it was an inadvertent rescue. It's hard to imagine what Bibi Dong might have done if she caught him.'
'Wait… wasn't it said that Bibi Dong loved my cousin? Now she not only doesn't love him, but he's lucky to have avoided death at her hands.'
The thought struck her: 'Does Bibi Dong also have a copy of Zhao Ling's diary? If so, she probably knows much more than I do.'
Intrigued, Liu Erlong wondered if there was a way to access Bibi Dong's diary copy. 'If I could read hers, I might uncover even more fascinating content.'
However, recalling that others couldn't view her own copy, she doubted her ability to see Bibi Dong's.
