"So that's how it is!"
Shi Hao could barely accept Xia Youyu's explanation.
If he got a good reward and could save Butian Pavilion, it wouldn't really matter.
After all, he was smitten with Xia Youyu, and his disciple, Shi Hao, would also join Butian Pavilion in the future.
Moreover, he had a good impression of the people from Butian Pavilion in the original story.
So, he would save them.
But only for himself.
Willow Deity and the Double-Pupiled Maiden could also be saved; it was just a matter of him saying the word.
But Butian Pavilion had no direct relationship with these people. Why should he ask them to expend their energy and incur karma for no reason?
Using his connections to benefit others while owing them a favor, Ning Fan would never do such a foolish thing.
He alone was enough.
With the Diary System and his knowledge of the plot, saving Butian Pavilion, though not easy, wasn't an insurmountable task.
It wasn't to the point where he couldn't accomplish it.
However, what Ning Fan didn't know was that Xia Youyu had indeed wanted to seek help before, but now she had received a reward and could heal the Gourd Vine.
Not only had she obtained what she had always wanted, but in her fluster, she had also accidentally completed a hidden mission and discovered how to get hidden rewards.
It's currently a method known only to her.
As for the subsequent tasks, considering the 25% task progress, which she had completed with her first kiss, she had a guess about what might come next.
"Actually… Friend, there's no need to feel burdened. I, Youyu, acted impulsively just now. You don't have to force yourself regarding the Butian Pavilion matter in the future. Just do your best, Friend."
Xia Youyu's face was flushed, and she couldn't stay any longer. After receiving the reward and calming down, she realized she had acted desperately just now.
She made Ning Fan feel bewildered, even scaring him a little.
Damn it.
You used your first kiss to ask me to help, and I'm a young, virile man, a virgin dreaming of a happy life. And now you realize you acted impulsively?
And you're telling me to just do my best?
Ning Fan immediately became displeased.
He began to complain in his diary:
[She forcibly kissed me!]
[She just stole my first kiss, and also asked me to save the Butian Pavilion. Now she's telling me not to force myself…]
[Women!]
[Your name is… (a play on words, meaning 'slippery and hard to grasp')]
[She pulls up her skirt and then forgets all about it.]
[Youyu, my little wife, remember that kiss you gave me. I want you to take responsibility for me, is that too much to ask?]
"You don't want to break your word and become a female hooligan, yet you're unwilling to take responsibility, right?"
"Butian Pavilion, I'll save it! And you, I want you too!"
"I, Ning Fan, am serious."
"It's your choice of idol!"
"I'm definitely saving Butian Pavilion!"
"Even the red-haired one can't stop me!"
"I said it!"
Xia Youyu's eyes darted around, pretending to look at the scenery. In reality, she was reading the diary, and her heart was already filled with shame. She didn't dare to look at Ning Fan at all.
After Ning Fan finished writing in the diary, they chatted for a bit longer, and then she quickly said goodbye.
She left in a rush with a group of her friends.
The other girls who were reading the diary.
First, their expressions turned strange, and then they broke into a knowing auntie smile.
On the way back to the new Stone Village.
Ning Fan felt restless, sitting on her brother's back.
Her heart was still difficult to calm.
Recalling the encounter just now, the soft and tender touch the girl had given Ning Fan seemed to have opened a certain switch in his body, making him incredibly uncomfortable.
Adding to that, it was further enhanced by the Lao Ai template.
This symptom was like adding insult to injury for Ning Fan.
He really wanted to flip off his brother's back.
Then unleash an earth-shattering forbidden spear technique. The long spear remains, fearless charge, the spear's heart ablaze, a hundred slashes across the plains! "Forget it, I'll just write in the diary to distract myself!"
Helpless, Ning Fan could only write in his diary to forget the burning evil fire.
[Today was truly an unforgettable day!] [What a disaster...] [Although a maiden's shyness is better than all the sweet nothings!]
But my little wife, Youyu, flirts and then runs away. She only lights the fire, leaving me miserable. How awful!
Huh? Today's diary has a theme too? And it wants me to write about the Dark Lands over in the World Sea?
What's so good about that crappy place!
Just five big old men.
Not even a single pretty fairy.
"So that place is called the Dark Lands?"
The Willow Deity of Stone Village, the chicken farmer, the women of the Immortal Domain...
All were incredibly surprised.
Just as the shock faded, the expression turned to horror, utterly pale.
The other onlookers with lower cultivation levels felt nothing.
If it weren't for the Diary System, they wouldn't even know about the Immortal Domain, Immortal Kings, Foreign Realm, Burial Earth… and so on.
The World Sea was even more hidden.
Therefore, the Dark Lands on the other side of the World Sea were even further away for them. Most of these people, who had appeared in the original story, never even went there in the end.
Now, what Xia Youyu was about to write was no different from a heavenly book.
[Dark Lands!]
[The Other Side of the World Sea!]
[To get there, you must first cross the World Sea's dam. Only those at the Quasi-Emperor realm can go there.]
[Only at the Quasi-Emperor level can one leave footprints there as well.]
[This is the minimum requirement to reach the Dark Lands!]
[A total of nine people have been there.]
[Five are eternal, one is from the past, and the other three will go in the future.]
[The one from the past is an unnamed Quasi-Emperor.]
[The faint footprints left on the dam in the World Sea now belong to the unnamed Quasi-Emperor.]
[The future holds three figures, with one being Emperor Huang, and the other two being The Little Pagoda and Willow Deity.]
[Today's focus is on that place.]
[Therefore, I'll be writing about those five individuals in particular.]
[They are also the ultimate antagonists of this world.]
[They are responsible for the weirdness, the Black Disaster, and the countless purges that have occurred over numerous epochs in this world.]
[They are: Emperor Cang, Emperor Yu, Emperor Hong, Old Man of Destruction, and Emperor Bone Bro.]
[The first four are all Quasi-Emperors, while Emperor Bone Bro is a true Emperor!]
[Speaking of which, there's a lot to unpack, such as: why there's a Black Disaster, why the Heavenly Court is ominous, the goal of the Ancient Reception Hall, why there's a purge at the end of the Dharma Age, and the origins of the Primal True Scripture...]
"Where did the peerless talents and strong individuals who triggered the bizarre and ominous events throughout history go?"
"Also, why did the Foreign Realm and Burial Earth undergo such changes?"
"The real reason behind the Foreign Realm's assault on the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths…"
Four Quasi-Emperors! One true Emperor!
Although she knew about the realm above the Immortal King from the diary, she knew about Emperors Cang, Yu, and Hong.
She also knew about the Old Man of Destruction and the Nine Nether Beast.
Moreover, the first three were her enemies who had killed her.
But Willow Deity had always thought that, in this world, besides the future Shi Hao, or rather, Emperor Huang, the Old Man of Destruction was the strongest.
Is the ultimate enemy.
But the information about Emperor Bone Bro, a true Emperor,
Still frightened her.
It brought her extreme shock!
A Quasi-Emperor and an Emperor differ by only one word, but the meaning and the strength of the ultimate enemy are worlds apart!
The gap between a Quasi-Immortal King and an Immortal King can be seen as a clue.
