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!
