Chapter 489: Diary
“I’ve decided to start writing a diary. Although I’m not a decent person, I’m still out traveling alone and have many people I long for. So, I’ve decided to record everything I’ve seen and heard during my travels around the world so that I can let Lian Hua and the rest have a look at it in the future as comfort.
“How long has it been since I last wrote a diary? In any case, it has been abandoned for a long time. Therefore, from today onwards, I’ll write in my diary every day. There is no limit to the length of each entry.
“Today is the 3rd of December. In the cold winter, He Qi and I traveled all the way south and arrived at the Hundred Birds City. Fortunately, the geographical location of the Southern Plains was advantageous and it wasn’t particularly cold. I prepared a few pieces of autumn clothes which cost me a hundred spirit stones. After all, He Qi is acting as my free labor, I had to treat him a little better.
“However, winter came too quickly. Even He Qi found it strange. Logically speaking, the Southern Plains would only welcome winter in January. Moreover, it would only last for a month at most. Hopefully, nothing major would happen.
“In addition, He Qi told me about his childhood. Along with the enmity between him and the Xiao family, hmm, I’ll briefly summarize it. The hatred of a wife being stolen from him. Tsk, why is the Xiao family so immoral?
“December 4th. Today was a beautiful and satisfying day. He Qi and I came to Hundred Birds City. We were unfamiliar with the people and places in the Southern Plains, so we decided to get some information.
“Well, when it came to getting information, there was no better choice than a brothel. When it came to brothels, He Qi’s face reddened. I asked him and he said that he was actually a virgin and had never slept with a woman.
“Heh, trash.
“That’s not right. I don’t think I’ve slept with a woman either? Well… let’s cross out the whole paragraph.
“As a beautiful person with a kind heart, I naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity, so I immediately brought He Qi to the largest brothel in Hundred Birds City.
“To be honest, brothels are filled with a foul atmosphere and are filled with all sorts of debauchery. I really didn’t like it, but for He Qi, I endured it.
“However, this brothel was a little special. It wasn’t just a place to eat and drink to my heart’s content. After entering, there was neither a madam who served nor a scantily clad woman. What greeted my eyes were rows and rows of bookshelves. There were many books on them, so I randomly picked one and was brought into a room by a servant.
“Only after entering did I understand that this was a freaking themed club! Using the book club name as a place to sleep with women. I couldn’t understand this.
“If you want to sleep, then sleep properly. Why would you bring books into it?
“However, after thinking about it carefully, those so-called scholars probably enjoyed this very much, so I could only follow the local customs.
“The girl who served me was very ordinary. Compared to Lian Hua, it was like the difference between heaven and earth. I only drank a few cups of wine before I let her out. I had no choice, I still couldn’t lose my virginity. Moreover, even if I could, my precious first time… I wouldn’t waste it in such a filthy place.
“After about four hours, He Qi sent me a voice transmission saying that we could leave. F*ck, four hours! Is the lady alright?
“When we met again, He Qi revealed a very satisfied expression. I knew he was extremely satisfied, but in contrast, I…
“Pui! I wouldn’t return to such a filthy place ever!
“December 5th, Book Club Reststop.”
“December 6th, Book Club Reststop.”
“December 7th, Book Club Reststop.”
“December 8th, Victor! You’re degenerating! If Lian Hua and the others find out about this, they’ll probably eat you alive!
“Don’t forget, you stayed here for so many days to get information! You can’t indulge yourself like this anymore! From now on, no more visiting this lousy book club!
“December 9th, the Book Club Reststop…”
“December 10th, this is a day worth remembering! I’ve finally achieved my goal! I heard from Miss Cai’er that in a few days, the Western Plains Dynasty will send someone to the Southern Plains. It’s said to discuss the matter of the marriage alliance between the two parties. The target of the marriage alliance will naturally be Xiao Chenggan. Only he, the future ruler of the Xiao family, is worthy of making the Western Plains Dynasty lower their status.
“However, I’m curious. Which woman will marry Xiao Chenggan? Speaking of the Western Plains Dynasty, the first person I thought of was probably Yan Qingxin? After all, she was ranked 22nd on the Men’s List, after me.
“However, I highly doubt think that the person who would be in a marriage alliance with the Xiao family would be Yan Qingxin. After all, the latter didn’t have such a status. The size of the Western Plains Dynasty was probably not much different from the Great Snow Mountain. If Yan Qingxin was the princess in the marriage alliance, they probably only had one goal… and that would be the few factions in the Northern Plains.
“Hmm… since that’s the case, my goal has appeared. It would be best to stir up trouble and prevent the marriage alliance between the Western Plains Dynasty and the Southern Plains’s Xiao family. After all, if these two powerful figures form an alliance, I’m certain that even the Great Snow Mountain would feel anxious.
“Therefore, I am certain that many people will interfere in this marriage alliance!
“Moreover, there seems to be a tradition in the Xiao family when it came to marriage alliance. An arena will be set up, and Xiao Chenggan will be in charge. Anyone dissatisfied with the marriage alliance will be able to go up and challenge him.
“Tsk, isn’t this disadvantageous for him? Alright, it has been decided. I will participate in the Xiao family’s arena battle and strive to defeat Xiao Chenggan. Although he has already advanced to the nascent soul realm, I don’t think it’s a huge deal.
“Moreover, even if I can’t do it, isn’t He Qi still here? I’ve fought with him a few times in the past two days. If I don’t rely on the power of my blood and qi, and purely rely on my talent in martial arts, even I am not his match.
“Hiss, it seems that He Qi is actually a great fighter! When he advances to the nascent soul realm in the future, I’ll have another great helper by my side!
“On the 11th of December, today, I told He Qi my plan. This stupid person wants to defeat Xiao Chenggan and marry the princess. I mean, at least take a look at yourself?
“Let’s not talk about whether you can defeat Xiao Chenggan or not. Even if you can, the Western Plains Dynasty wouldn’t marry the princess to you. You’re just a rogue cultivator of no value.
“However, He Qi’s thoughts reminded me something. At such a time, why would the Western Plains Dynasty choose to join forces with the Xiao family? They clearly have a more suitable choice. The Great Snow Mountain of the Northern Plains, the Sword Cleansing Pond, and the Dao Sect. Which one isn’t more valuable than the Xiao family?
“Yes, there must be some unknown secret. Perhaps, it was a secret that even the Northern Plains didn’t know about!
“Moreover, He Qi didn’t take the initiative to request to go to the book club today. Yes, this child was worth teaching. However, it’s also possible that he has already exhausted himself and needs a few days of rest. All in all, not too bad.
“December 12th, today… I lost money…
“To be more precise, I was forced to lose money…
“He Qi, that b*stard, relied on his abundant physical strength and made the girl in the book club unable to get out of bed. She came to ask for medical fees, a total of 3,000 spirit stones. For the sake of his face, He Qi asked me to help him pay for the medical fees, saying that he would return them to me in the future. I’ve also paid for your prostitution fees, why don’t you return them to me?
“Damn it, He Qi, you’ll die out of exhaustion sooner or later!”
