Of course.
Zhu Zhuqing also possessed a copy of the diary, but Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong didn't know it yet—she was also a diary friend.
In the afternoon, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were assigned to the same dormitory. Since Zhu Zhuqing had a cold personality, the two hadn't exchanged many words with her.
At this moment—
Ning Rongrong was complaining about Shrek's terrible food when she suddenly saw the diary update in her mind, and her eyes lit up instantly.
[Spent the whole day playing with Ye Lingling at the Ye residence. Now going to interview Qian Renxue. Tomorrow I can head out for Shrek.]
[If nothing goes wrong, we'll leave in the morning and arrive in Soto City by night. A rough estimate says Shrek's registration should be around this time. I wonder if those little brats—Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing—have arrived yet?]
[Honestly, I need to rant a bit. Ye Lingling's Nine-Heart Begonia spirit setup—just one healing martial spirit passed down in a single line, fine—but you make it so that only two users can exist at the same time?]
[That's freaking absurd. She's just a healer—do you really have to make her setup this tragic? And worst of all, you completely abandoned that setup later. I'm seriously disgusted!]
[This isn't a game where casting a skill instantly reduces HP and healers restore full health instantly. In spirit power duels, what's even the point?]
[Some people say the Nine-Heart Begonia and Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda are like Cai Wenji and Ming Shiyin—sure, maybe in concept! But this isn't a game where basic attacks and skills cause HP loss!]
[Picture this: Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen are fighting with spirits. One has Cai Wenji behind him, and the other has Ming Shiyin. Ming Shiyin buffs Erlang Shen like crazy, while Cai Wenji says, "Brother, hurry up and get hurt so I can heal you!"]
[Sun Wukong: You're kind of nuts, huh!]
[Oh right! I was supposed to write about Huo Wu today, but… okay, cards on the table—I totally made that up. I said I knew a thousand years of Douluo history and had everything down pat? I was full of crap!]
[I already wrote about Huo Wu before, and honestly there's nothing interesting to say. I don't know her backstory, and writing about her is less fun than writing about Feng Xiaotian... Wait a minute?]
Heaven Dou City.
Su Chen, who was taking Ye Lingling to the Crown Prince's Mansion, suddenly had a flash of insight. He quickly copied the content he wrote yesterday and pasted it.
I'm such a little genius!
At the same time—
Every woman reading the diary had a flood of question marks pop up in her head.
What the heck is going on!?
The content was exactly the same as yesterday—not a single punctuation mark was different. That's way too lazy. Seriously phoning it in!
Shrek Academy.
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu stared at each other wide-eyed.
"Unbelievable!"
"Absolutely outrageous!"
Zhu Zhuqing, having just finished her meal nearby, noticed their odd behavior and immediately understood.
She already knew Xiao Wu had a diary copy. Now she realized that Ning Rongrong was a diary holder too. No wonder those two got along so well, enough to make the legendary Uncle Tang San jealous.
So...
Zhu Zhuqing hesitated. Having discovered two diary friends, should she go say hi?
Just then, Dai Mubai was sitting nearby, clearly trying to start a conversation. Zhu Zhuqing's eyes flashed with annoyance. She got up and walked straight toward Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong.
"Um…"
Zhu Zhuqing thought about how to express her intentions, then decided to whisper in their ears:
"Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong. Lovestruck master and disciple."
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong's faces immediately lit up, and they responded with the secret code:
"Spirit Hall, Hu Liena. Lovestruck master and disciple."
"Aiya! Aiya!"
"It's you, it's you!"
"It's me, it's me!"
After confirming each other as diary friends, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong got excited, each grabbing one of Zhu Zhuqing's arms, acting like they were besties reunited after years apart.
Dai Mubai, seeing the sudden closeness, frowned and asked:
"You knew them before?"
Zhu Zhuqing completely ignored him.
Xiao Wu clenched her fist and told Zhu Zhuqing, "Don't pay attention to him. That blonde guy is bad news—be careful or he'll trick you."
Ning Rongrong nodded furiously: "He's a tiger-chasing perv. I already blacklisted him from my family's hotel chain."
Dai Mubai: "???"
Granny Li's dentures!
Dai Mubai was about to explode from rage. He spared these two yesterday, and now they dare treat him like this!?
Damn it!
He couldn't even argue back.
Tang San, standing quietly to the side, felt a strong sense of unease. Xiao Wu trusted others way too easily.
First it was Ning Rongrong, and now she was reacting just as strongly to Zhu Zhuqing. What the hell was going on???
Blazing Fire Academy.
Huo Wu was fuming.
Dammit!
With her figure and face, even Feng Feng next door was drooling over her.
And yet Su Chen was so dismissive?
Bastard!
He'd rather write about Feng Xiaotian than her. And to top it off, he just copy-pasted yesterday's entry. Su Chen, I hate you to death!
You just wait!
Fortunately, Dugu Yan wasn't around to compete today, so she could finally claim a reward.
Purple, purple, purple.
Thinking about the soul ring, Huo Wu felt a bit better—it was pretty sweet!
Crown Prince's Mansion.
Qian Renxue, after reading the diary, quickly shouted to Hu Liena on the bed: "Get up quick, Su Chen's coming!"
Hu Liena lazily opened her eyes: "Let him come. I'm gonna lie here a bit longer. Call me when he shows up."
Qian Renxue tugged on Hu Liena's pajamas, glaring at the woman radiating seduction, muttering inwardly, "Little vixen."
Suddenly!
While tugging her, Hu Liena's clothes shifted—revealing her snowy white chest covered with a bunch of red marks.
"Huh?"
"Nana, are you sick?"
"Why are there so many red marks on your chest? Were you bitten by something?"
"Ah?"
Hu Liena's face instantly turned red. Seeing Qian Renxue's puzzled expression, she replied seriously:
"It was… mosquito bites from last night. The mosquitoes in Heaven Dou City are vicious."
Qian Renxue was still a little suspicious but didn't ask further. Instead, she said:
"Hurry and change clothes. If Su Chen comes and sees you wearing my pajamas and sleeping in my room—what'll people think?"
Hu Liena brushed it off: "Tch! You're a girl too. Who cares!"
"I'm gonna lie here a bit longer. I'll wait for Su Chen to come carry me home. Heehee!"
Qian Renxue was speechless. Seeing Hu Liena's lovestruck expression made her feel like she was looking at a complete idiot.
Crown Prince's Mansion.
Su Chen got off the carriage with Ye Lingling. A guard stepped forward to greet him:
"Excuse me, are you Lord Su Chen?"
"Yes."
Su Chen nodded.
The guard led the way: "His Highness the Crown Prince has given orders. When you arrive, proceed directly to the backyard. He has been waiting for some time."
After entering the backyard, the guards all stopped and allowed Su Chen and Ye Lingling to continue alone.
