Volume 3: Star Tower Chapter 1: Diary of a Mary Sue Girl (Part 1)
Leng Xianyuan's tomb had been badly destroyed, but the academy assistants who entered later did not find Leng Xianyuan's body in the main coffin.
The strangest thing is that no - whether Leng Xiangyuan's body is actually located underground in the back mountain of Yisuli Academy.
Of course, these things have little to do with Tang Zheng and his group who are about to set off for the capital.
Tang Zheng was leaning on the soft couch in the carriage, flipping through the small notebook in his hand all the way...
They had originally planned to set off early in the morning, but because Jiang Wuyan was a little late, the sun was already shining brightly.
"Master, you haven't said a word since you got on the car. What are you looking at?" Tang Xiaotang asked Tang Zhengdao as he sat opposite her.
"Oh, a novel." Tang Zheng turned over and continued reading.
Tang Zheng originally thought that the small notebook signed by Huangfu Xuanluo that he brought out from the Underworld Palace might contain the design drawings of the Underworld Palace's sophisticated mechanisms, or at least something like mission instructions. However, this small notebook had nothing to do with the things in the Underworld Palace.
If I have to give it a definition, it should probably be considered a diary.
However, the things described in this diary are a bit too fantastic and erotic, so Tang Zheng cannot treat it as a normal diary. He can only read it as a novel to kill time on the road.
When Tang Xiaotang heard it was a novel, she lost interest and started reading the "tutorial" about the Star Tower that Leng Buchen had written for them on the spur of the moment.
Dadada, dadada…
Three long-distance horse-drawn carriages with the Yisu Academy logo on them, the first one carrying Tang Zheng and Tang Xiaotang, the second one carrying Meng Fenghua and Xiao Lingdang, and the third one carrying Jiang Wuyan and the accompanying instructors, slowly drove out of Feishi City.
This was Tang Zheng's first time leaving the border, but he was far from being as excited and expectant as Tang Xiaotang. Instead, he kept staring at the "novel" in his hand.
But this kind of calm did not last long. He suddenly "poofed" and sprayed tea all over Tang Xiaotang.
"Master! What are you doing?" Tang Xiaotang quickly took out a handkerchief.
"No, no, no." Tang Zheng apologized hastily, but he couldn't stop smiling. "Sorry, I'll stay away from you."
"That's not the point. The point is, don't drink tea while reading a novel!" Tang Xiaotang knew the reason why Tang Zheng was angry at a glance. It must be because of the "novel". She reminded him with a dissatisfied look on her face.
…
"Today, the weather is very good, but I feel a little cold, so I raised the temperature of the Baolu River a little. Hehe, I really feel much better now, but the demon king in the water may not think so. Hehe, it's decided, I will take you as dinner tonight..."
"...The Dawn Battle is over, but I haven't had barbecue for a long time. However, A-Lin said that after the monsters retreat back to the border, I can choose any mountain on the border to use as a barbecue grill...Haha, A-Lin is so nice..."
"...Ace is dead. He was the first star master to die beside Alin, and also my best friend. Now, the morale of the soldiers is very low. I don't know how long we can hold on. Ji Qiang is very strong, so strong that it is beyond our expectations..."
"...No, I won't give up. I feel my blood burning, and the entire starry sky is burning with ..."
Tang Zheng was already rolling on the couch with laughter. Eating the demon king for dinner? Picking a mountain for barbecue? Having a star master as a friend? And even making the entire starry sky burn?
"Let me guess, what is she going to write next?" He smiled and continued reading.
The "novel" in his hand started from the moment a young girl broke through to the three-star level. There was no mention of the Star-Seeking Tower, so she should not be someone who came from a noble family academy.
In fact, the beginning of the story is still some pretty normal daily life. What Tang Zheng saw was just an ordinary girl, who she met today, what kind of clothes she liked tomorrow, etc. Compared with the later part, this part is simply too normal.
Precisely because it was normal at the beginning, when he flipped through the first few pages, although he felt that the constellations and the way of guiding the stars were a little strange, he still thought it was a diary for the time being.
However, after the owner of this diary fantasized about reaching five stars, he completely went off track!
From the six stars rising to seven stars overnight, to the battlefield outside the border, there were actually three consecutive starbursts, and some star names that were not even among the fourteen main stars...
When she wrote about her life palace, or the life palace of the heroine of this "diary-style novel", the first three stars were three sun stars, but from the fourth onwards, it was no longer the case. The fourth life palace introduced the Tianwu star, the fifth life palace was the Feijian star, the sixth life palace was the Xunkong star, and the seventh life palace was the Tuoluo star... all of them were beyond Tang Zheng's cognition.
The fourteen main stars of Xingyao Continent are Qisha, Pojun, Lianzhen, Tanlang, Ziwei, Tianfu, Wuqu, Tianxiang, Taiyang, Jumen, Tianji, Taiyin, Tianliang, and Tiantong. However, novels are derived from reality and can also be higher than reality. Tang Zheng did not care about these details, but he had to admit that a person who could build such a huge Hades Palace had a rich imagination.
until……
He saw the plot after the narrator ascended to the Seven Stars!
From the moment the heroine of the story entered the Seven Stars, the world was in chaos. Then, a Mary Sue girl who felt extremely good about herself began her classic Mary Sue life of standing on a high mountain top in a white dress, busy being beautiful and saving the world at the same time...
Of course, what Tang Zheng was looking forward to more were more impactful descriptions like "My snow-white breasts trembled like Mount Tai" or "My beautiful body and delicate skin are like a chrysanthemum bud about to bloom."
"Master, what are you laughing at?" Tang Xiaotang felt that the whole carriage was shaking in a very regular manner, and she even heard a few ambiguous coughs outside.
Obviously, the driver outside took the abnormal shaking of the carriage as some kind of exercise between a man and a woman.
Tang Zheng picked up the teacup again, turned another page, and said to Xiaotang: "It's a good book, it's really a good book. Xiaotang, listen to me read it to you..."
"Hmm?" Tang Xiaotang simply put down the map in her hand.
"Ahem." Tang Zheng cleared his throat and began to read in the tone of the girl, imitating her. "I saw that he had a full beard on his face and smiled at me tenderly. I gently stroked his hairy face, just like I was stroking the face of a lover. Then, the sword made of fire in my hand had already pierced into his chest..."
"Pfft... His head and face are full of beards. Sorry, the picture is too beautiful... Pfft, haha..." Tang Xiaotang was not in a good mood either. He directly spat out a mouthful of tea.
"You said not to drink tea!" Tang Zheng wiped it and turned a few pages. "Let me change one... um... I finally saw her on the battlefield today. She is such a beauty. Her hair has nine colors, red like blood, black like ink. She looks very happy because her hair is curly when she is happy, and straight when she is unhappy..."
“Hahahahaha…” Tang Xiaotang couldn’t hold it in anymore.
"She took off her blindfold, and in an instant, the sun and the moon lost their luster to her. She smiled at a stone next to me, and that ordinary stone turned into a shining diamond right before my eyes..."
Tang Zheng continued to read, and Tang Xiaotang rolled over with laughter beside him.
There was another coughing sound outside. Perhaps he hoped that they could play more restrainedly?
Although the narration made Tang Zheng unable to continue reading several times, he must admit that it was still not easy to listen to such a ridiculous plot with no logical bugs.
This story was written over more than ten pages. At the end, when Tang Zheng thought, "I really killed her, and I'm about to break through to the eight stars," Tang Xiaotang had already knelt down so hard that he could not kneel any longer.
"Master... Master." Tang Xiaotang laughed so hard that she was out of breath. "Where did you get this novel?"
"I just picked it up." Tang Zheng shrugged with a smile.
"I've heard many versions of the passage you recited, but... haha... yours is the best one! When you're happy, your hair is curly... and when you're unhappy, it's... hahahaha... straight." Tang Xiaotang pounded the partition wall of the carriage and laughed so hard that she couldn't even straighten her back.
"No way, have you heard many different versions of this third-rate story?" Tang Zheng closed the small notebook in his hand, rubbed his eyes and took a break.
There was less than one-fifth of the small notebook left in his hand.
There aren’t many words and it seems to go by pretty fast.
"Yes, this is the story of the first Sun Star Lord Huangfu Xuanluo fighting against the demon king-level master Princess Dusha. It can be regarded as a very classic battle in prehistoric times. I wonder how many storytellers in taverns have written about it..." Tang Xiaotang said with a smile.
“It turns out to be a classic battle after all this time? No wonder so many people have written about it. There is even a copy in the Hades Palace, and I…” Tang Zheng picked up the teacup with a smile, and then his hand froze in mid-air.
"I'll find you a better one when I get back." Tang Xiaotang nodded, then looked at Tang Zheng strangely, "Hey, Master! Master? What's wrong with you?"
Tang Zheng quickly picked up the little notebook again and turned to the first page.
Tang Xiaotang blinked: "Master?"
"Huangfu Xuanluo... who are you talking about?" Tang Zheng looked at Tang Xiaotang steadily and casually ruffled his hair which was messed up due to his rolling around and laughing in the carriage.
"Above the nine stars, the star lord of the Sun Star..." Tang Xiaotang looked confused.
