Chapter 155: The Self-righteous Liu Sheng Piaoxu
Chapter 155 The Self-righteous Liu Sheng Piaoxu
"But the reason why this woman can leave such a deep impression on me, besides her own situation, is that I haven't eaten meat for almost a month!!!"
"Dongfang and Yaoyue, the two of them have been competing with each other. When they compete with each other, I am the unlucky one."
"Alas, I can't sleep alone, I can't sleep alone!"
"Come to think of it, before I ate meat, I didn't think there was anything wrong."
"Although I occasionally fantasize about it, I can bear it."
"But since I ate meat, even if it was passive and forced, I can't help it."
"Unexpectedly, the two of them are competing with each other. No one lets the other come over. Is it necessary to be like this?"
"It would be fine if they just did this, but they don't let other people get close."
"Last night, Jiang Yuyan brought me foot washing water and washed my feet herself. Those little hands-tsk!"
"Originally, Jiang Yuyan was planning to serve the emperor in the emperor's bed, but Dongfang and Yaoyue just pressed Jiang Yuyan's acupoints and pinned her there for the whole night."
"I didn't get a single bite of meat either!"
"Hey hey hey! It was so close--"
"So, Dongfang and Yaoyue, how long are these two going to keep quarreling? It won't be like this for the rest of their lives, right?"
"Well, not for the rest of my life. After all, one day my strength will surpass theirs. As long as I am stronger than them, I can suppress them directly with force. Then I won't just come one by one, but all together, and let everyone fly together--"
"My current cultivation level is the second level of the Grandmaster Realm. Yaoyue and Dongfang are both Grandmasters. If I want to reach the level of Grandmaster, it will take at least a long time, um, a year?"
"So I have to endure it for a year?"
"That's not right. Actually, my increased strength only increases my cultivation. I still lack combat experience. So, even though we're both Grandmasters, I'm afraid I can't possibly defeat them. So, I need to be even stronger than them. So, does that take longer? So, I can't eat meat any longer?"
"Oh my God, please let me die!!!"
...
"Huh?"
Seeing Ye Xiu's new diary, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, the women who knew that someone else had the diary besides them, couldn't help but frown. The fact that
Ye Xiu devoted so many words to a woman was of great concern to them, especially since she had left such a deep impression on Ye Xiu. As for the fact that
she was already a Grandmaster in her twenties,
Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai were a little concerned, but not overly so.
Even Yue Lingshan and the others simply lamented her strength and talent, believing that as long as they had the diary, their strength would eventually improve.
Therefore, even though Ye Xiu's current strength surpassed theirs, they didn't take it too seriously or care too much.
Their only concern was who the other person was. Was this appearance before Ye Xiu intentional? Or was it just coincidence?
Was she the owner of the diary? Or, after this entry, would that woman become the owner of the diary?
Dongfang Bubai and the others were already planning to ask Ye Xiu tomorrow about the identity of the woman he had met and what had happened.
However, the contents of the second half of the diary only made Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai frown even more deeply.
Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue were once again locked in a standoff outside Ye Xiu's room.
Previously, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue had chosen to prevent each other from approaching Ye Xiu, fighting each other to monopolize Ye Xiu.
Now, their confrontation was driven by a desire to claim first place.
They had temporarily compromised, sharing Ye Xiu, but who would be the first? The two began vying for first place.
After all, both Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue were extremely strong and domineering women. Especially since the two of them had been battling for so long, neither of them wanting to give in. So, neither Dongfang Bubai nor Yaoyue wanted to give in.
Whoever gave up the first day to the other would have lost, wouldn't that mean they'd lost? So, Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai were in a constant battle, each wanting to be first, determined not to let the other get there first.
So, despite some compromise, the stalemate remained.
Ye Xiu lay alone in bed, sighing at times.
These two wouldn't go first, and then they wouldn't let anyone else. Just like Jiang Yuyan, look at her, she clearly wanted to have sex with him, but they pushed her aside, forcing her to stand all night.
So, the next day, when Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue saw Ye Xiu's favorability ratings in their diary, their faces darkened.
Dongfang Bubai's favorability rating, due to their intimate experience with Ye Xiu, had been at 89, just one point away from 90. But now, the diary showed a favorability rating of 88. Not only did the missing point not improve, it actually decreased, pushing Dongfang Bubai even further away from a 90-point favorability rating.
Yaoyue's situation was similar. This
was because Yaoyue had known Ye Xiu for a shorter time than Dongfang Bubai, not to mention the misunderstandings and conflicts between them. Although their relationship had later boosted their favorability, the favorability rating
in her diary suddenly jumped from 36 to 80. After spending some time with Ye Xiu, the favorability rating in her diary slowly climbed to 86. While still not as good as Dongfang Bubai's, it was catching up. But now, that 86-point favorability rating had dropped a bit, to 85.
Yaoyue was frantic.
She hadn't even caught up to Dongfang Bubai to begin with, and now it had dropped again. When would she ever catch up, or even surpass him?
Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue's eyes flickered, their gazes fierce, as they once again considered the favorability ratings in their diaries.
They had been in a standoff before, and their favorability had not decreased. So what was the reason for the decline in favorability this time?
Thinking about this standoff and the previous ones, the only thing that seemed to have changed was Jiang Yuyan -
when they thought of this, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue's feelings towards Jiang Yuyan plummeted, and they even wanted to kill Jiang Yuyan right now.
However, just by scolding Jiang Yuyan for a night, her favorability dropped a little. If they really killed Jiang Yuyan, then Ye Xiu's favorability would be - he
clearly wanted to do it, but he had to restrain himself.
Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, the two of them had never suffered such grievances since they were young, it was so aggrieved!
They really wanted to get rid of Jiang Yuyan right now.
Even if they acted more quickly, Ye Xiu would definitely not be able to find out anything.
But -
Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue glared at each other. They'd done it, and kept it secret, but what if the other party snitched?
After all, they both wanted to outdo each other. If they dealt with Jiang Yuyan, and she snitched, Ye Xiu's favorability toward them would plummet. Perhaps by the time this month's rewards arrived, she'd even surpass them.
So Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue had to suppress their anger, unable to vent.
Their mood only grew even more gloomy.
Jiang
Yuyan, on the other hand, was somewhat pleased—no, quite pleased. Ye Xiu's favorability toward her had risen so much. Furthermore, in his diary, Ye Xiu complained about Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue.
In previous diaries, Ye Xiu had only mentioned Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue's actions briefly, but not this time, when he poured so much into his diary to complain about them.
And it was all caused by her.
This proved that some of her actions had a significant effect on Ye Xiu.
Through these experiences, Jiang Yuyan discovered that Ye Xiu, relatively speaking, was easy to please and win over.
It was as if she, simply by bringing Ye Xiu footbath water and washing his feet, had boosted his favorability so much.
You know, in this ancient world, it was common for a wife to wash her husband's feet, at least in most ordinary families.
Yet, Ye Xiu took it so seriously.
This meant that, aside from her, Jiang Yuyan, no one else had ever washed Ye Xiu's feet.
So, as long as she could serve Ye Xiu well, Ye Xiu's favorability would likely rise.
This thought brightened Jiang Yuyan's mood.
As her favorability rose, she would receive even greater rewards. Sooner or later, her cultivation would surpass that of Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue. Then, she would overpower them, forever subjugating them!
Jiang Yuyan couldn't help but smile at the thought.
It was just the wrong occasion, so Jiang Yuyan could only suppress the urge to burst into laughter, but a smile spread across her face.
...
"Sure enough, I've left a deep impression on Ye Xiu. Once I have that impression, I'll have an excuse to approach him, and gradually build a closer relationship. That way, even Yao Yue and Dongfang Bubai won't be able to stop me." Liu Sheng Piaoxu looked at the newly created diary, a smile playing on her face.
"However, the contents of this diary are a bit embarrassing!"
"But fortunately, only I can see this diary; no one else knows. And what happened yesterday was only seen by Ye Xiu; everyone else is dead."
"So my attitude won't cause anyone to laugh,"
Liu Sheng Piaoxu thought silently. As for the second half of Ye Xiu's diary, she only glanced at it, memorizing Ye Xiu's desire to eat meat, and then stopped paying attention.
The daytime action was actually Liu Sheng Piaoxu's idea of approaching Ye Xiu.
Originally, saving the beauty would have been a very suitable way to approach Ye Xiu, but unfortunately, Jiang Yuyan had already appeared before. So Liu Sheng Piao Xu had to resort to other methods.
This time, Liu Sheng Piao Xu deliberately appeared before the group of lechers, even allowing them to drug her, then feigned being drugged and fled.
Everything from her appearance after being drugged to her stunning counterattack was all planned out by Liu Sheng Piao Xu.
As for the risks of counterattack after being drugged?
As a Japanese, having undergone extreme training since childhood, Liu Sheng Piao Xu's willpower was far stronger than that of an average woman. Drugs of that level would pose no threat to her.
Liu Sheng Piao Xu deliberately presented herself in this manner before Ye Xiu.
After analyzing Ye Xiu's personality and character from the diary, Liu Sheng Piao Xu determined that he was the type of person who was reserved and flirtatious.
Therefore, Liu Sheng Piao Xu chose this unique method.
Furthermore, Liu Sheng Piao Xu's plan was to keep the events of this incident a secret between her and Ye Xiu, a secret known only to them.
Having a secret shared between them would bring them closer.
As for the embarrassing incident, Liu Sheng Piao Xu felt that it had only happened in front of Ye Xiu, so it didn't have much of an impact. As long as this kind of thing wasn't known to anyone else, that was enough.
This was obviously because Liu Sheng Piao Xu didn't know that many people possessed the diary.
If she had known, Liu Sheng Piao Xu would probably have chosen a different plan, though it might not have been as effective as this one.
After all, the extent of Liu Sheng Piao Xu's plan was probably only comparable to Dongfang Bubai's first attempt to force himself on Ye Xiu.
Liu Sheng Piao Xu reviewed her previous actions from beginning to end in her mind, making sure nothing had been missed, and then, satisfied, went to sleep.
...
"This martial world is truly dangerous," Lin Shiyin sighed as she looked at Ye Xiu's newly written diary, her desire to strengthen her strength growing stronger.
After all, the martial world was far too dangerous, especially for beautiful women. Even though Lin Shiyin knew she was not young anymore, she remained confident in her appearance. After all, she was only thirty years old and her face was not even wrinkled. Her beauty hadn't even begun to decline.
If she were to roam the martial arts world without the protection of a formidable force, this face would be extremely dangerous.
Thinking of this, Lin Shiyin couldn't help but tighten her grip on the diary.
Lin Shiyin knew her talent wasn't strong; even without the diary's reward, she'd have struggled to even begin practicing the Lianhua Treasure Mirror.
Therefore, if she wanted to become stronger, she still had to rely on
the diary. To do so, she needed to get the diary's owner to mention her frequently in their journals and increase their favorability.
Both of these required contact with the diary's owner.
However, Lin Shiyin was a woman after all, and it felt somewhat embarrassing for her to approach a man. That's why she hadn't taken any action for so long.
While Lin Shiyin had ostensibly come to Nanjing to help her son, Long Xiaoyun, find the Rama inner strength, she was actually driven by a subconscious desire to approach the diary's author.
However, due to her womanly shyness and reserve, she hadn't sought out Ye Xiu since arriving in Nanjing.
Later, upon learning she didn't possess the Rama inner strength, Lin Shiyin used the Divine Illumination Sutra as an excuse to convince herself to ask Li Xunhuan to help her find Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue.
But in reality, Lin Shiyin realized she simply wanted to get closer to the diary writer.
Of course, Lin Shiyin had no other thoughts at the time, not even romantic ones, so she wasn't particularly concerned about Ye Xiu's desire to eat meat.
After all, for Lin Shiyin, Long Xiaoyun and Li Xunhuan alone were enough to give her a headache. Right now, she only wanted to improve her strength. Only then, with a strong power, could she make the choices she wanted.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll find the person who wrote the diary!" Lin Shiyin thought to herself before drifting off to sleep.
...
"She's truly a remarkable woman. If it were me, I'd kill those bastards too. However, I won't be as soft-hearted as this woman and let the diary writer go. I'll kill everyone who sees her." Lian Nishang thought, squinting her eyes as she read the diary.
After reading it a few more times, she simply curled her lips in mockery at Ye Xiu's request to eat meat, muttering something like "pretty boy" before tossing the diary aside.
"Sure enough, the outside world is more interesting. It's bound to be boring to stay in this mountain village all the time. Jianghu is still more interesting. There are fun and interesting things happening every day." Lian Nishang was a little eager to go when she thought of the things recorded in Ye Xiu's diary.
Before, Lian Nishang didn't believe that there could be any treasures in a thousand-year-old dried corpse. So Lian Nishang was too lazy to go to Nanjing.
But now, Lian Nishang regretted it a little, indeed. Just like there is no wife in the wife cake, there is no Rama internal power in Rama's body. However, because of Rama's body, a large number of people in the world gathered in Nanjing, and many fun and interesting things were inevitable.
Lian Nishang really felt sorry for missing so many interesting things.
But, going to Nanjing now?
Judging by the diary entry, the matter of Rama's remains is almost over. If she went to Nanjing now, it would likely have been resolved by then. Even the person who wrote the diary might have left, making her trip there a wasted one.
This thought made Lian Nishang feel even more depressed.
With a flick of her finger, the diary reappeared in her hand, intending to read through its contents.
After all, she was still feeling rather bored, but the entries in this diary were quite interesting, giving her a novel-like, almost addictive feeling.
So, Lian Nishang now kept watch over the diary almost daily, just to read the latest entries. She felt a bit like a fanatic novelist chasing the latest updates, feeling a bit of a loss if she couldn't see them first.
Of course, because she had only recently acquired the diary, she had no idea of the rewards and had never experienced them, so she had no idea of its more magical functions. For now, she simply treated it as a novel or storybook.
If she knew about the diary's other uses, she'd have been so impatient she'd have rushed to find the author.
Meanwhile
, in different places, in the hands of different women, they were looking at Ye Xiu's diary today, each one incredibly curious about the woman mentioned.
Of course, most of them were sighing in admiration, marveling at how this unknown woman, even after being drugged, had managed to kill the rapist.
At the very least, they admired her actions.
But even amidst their admiration, they couldn't help but laugh.
Every time they saw the woman Ye Xiu described in his diary, with her strange standing posture, her bizarre gait, and so on, they couldn't help but laugh.
After all, the thought of such a scene being seen by a man, recorded in the diary, and seen by other women was simply hilarious and amusing.
Of course, most of them also knew that such things were to be kept private, not shared. After all, it was a matter of a woman's reputation.
In this day and age, such reputation was extremely important to a woman and couldn't be easily discarded.
Therefore, they simply treated it as a joke, keeping it to themselves.
At the same time, some people blushed and showed contempt for Ye Xiu's desire to eat meat, while others were curious about how to eat meat, whether it tasted good, what it would feel like to eat meat, etc.
