Chapter 36

[Exquisitely beautiful, her smile bringing forth spring; I still remember the gentleness of Bai Bai Axiu lowering her head in the drama, like a water lily too shy to withstand the cool breeze.]

"The Celestial Maiden? An ice-and-snow maiden descending into the mortal world?"

Seeing Jiang Sishui praise her so generously, the utterly innocent Bai Bai Bai Axiu felt her cheeks burn, her pretty face flushing red as fire.

And her shy, head-bowed appearance was exactly as described in the diary.

Pity that in this scene, for now, no one is there to appreciate it.

[Bai Bai Axiu looks very beautiful when she smiles, making others unconsciously smile along with her.]

[But at the same time, she is also very prone to crying.]

[Whenever she gets anxious or scared, she starts to cry.]

[Once Bai Bai Axiu sheds a tear, it is truly as if the sky collapses and the earth sinks; among normal men in this world, few could likely bear the weight of even one of her tears.]

[And when she cries and laughs simultaneously, tears streaming down her face like rain on pear blossoms... well, I actually find my resolve regarding my true love wavering.]

[At this moment, I truly understand Zhang Zhang Zhang Wuji!]

On a flower boat in the East Sea, Huang Rong clenched her fists, her face filled with anger.

This lecherous man is truly unreliable; is he already changing his true love?

However, she suddenly remembered the "Kunji Seal," and instantly calmed down.

Although there were many owners of diary copies, only she had obtained this item, which already explained many things.

South of Nanzhou.

Yan Yan Lingji couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Great, it seemed she had dropped to third place again; this stinking man really fell in love with every woman he thought of.

In a few more days, would she drop out of the top ten entirely?

But thinking about it the other way, if she appeared before Jiang Sishui and he saw her in person, might she not surpass that Huang Rong?

Yan Yan Lingji began to ponder this with great interest.

In the Snow Mountain Sect, Bai Bai Bai Axiu covered her cheeks with her slender, jade-white hands, feeling shy yet also slightly annoyed.

"Am I really so prone to crying?"

She couldn't help but recall; since she could remember, she didn't seem to have cried very often.

However, she also noticed the key phrases in the diary content: "When anxious or scared, I am prone to crying?"

Thinking about it, she had been carefree from childhood to adulthood; could it be that she had never encountered the conditions that would make her cry?

Realizing this, Bai Bai Bai Axiu felt somewhat embarrassed.

[But do not be misled by Bai Bai Axiu's frail appearance and tendency to cry; in truth, she is gentle yet firm, extremely chaste and steadfast.]

[In "A Deadly Secret," when Bai Bai Axiu was thirteen, her fifteen-year-old senior brother Shi Shi Zhongyu, lustful at the sight of her beauty, attempted to assault her; fortunately, a servant discovered it in time, preventing the act.]

[Yet even though her virtue was preserved, Bai Bai Axiu still jumped off a cliff, choosing to end her life; fortunately, her grandmother appeared and saved her.]

[Afterward, Shi Shi Zhongyu, terrified, fled the Snow Mountain Sect, but many others were implicated because of him.]

[Shi Shi Zhongyu's master was blamed by the sect leader in a fit of rage and had one arm severed.]

[Bai Bai Bai Axiu's mother became mad with grief.]

[Bai Bai Bai Axiu's grandmother quarreled bitterly with her husband, the sect leader, and ran away from home.]

[It could be said that the entire Snow Mountain Sect was thrown into chaos by Shi Shi Zhongyu alone!]

[After fleeing the Snow Mountain Sect, Shi Shi Zhongyu hid within the Changle Gang.]

[Fearing the "Reward Good and Punish Evil Token," the entire Changle Gang pushed him to become the gang leader, wanting him to serve as a scapegoat.]

[During this period, Shi Shi Zhongyu acted recklessly, attempting to rape maids, occupying the wives of gang members, and forcibly abducting common women... indeed, he committed every evil deed imaginable.]

[If I ever run into this guy, I will definitely castrate him!]

[His parents are the renowned "Black and White Dual Swords," known for their chivalry, but they failed in raising their son; nonetheless, someone must step in to discipline them.]

[Who told this brat he could bully Bai Bai Axiu?]

Reading this, all the women were astonished.

Originally, based on Jiang Sishui's description of Bai Bai Bai Axiu, they all imagined her as a well-educated young lady from a noble family.

They never expected that besides being able to cry and laugh, Bai Bai Bai Axiu actually possessed such a fierce and steadfast side.

Furthermore, this Shi Shi Zhongyu made many people furious; at only fifteen years old, he committed such beastly acts of lust and turned the Snow Mountain Sect upside down.

One rat dropping spoils the whole pot of porridge.

Nothing more than that!

In an instant, many people developed murderous intent toward this lecherous thief, Shi Shi Zhongyu.

In the Snow Mountain Sect, Bai Bai Bai Axiu was so frightened that her face turned pale; she never expected that in the book, she would be so unfortunate, and moreover, implicate so many others.

Even her mother went mad!

Thinking of this, Bai Bai Bai Axiu felt a pang of heartache.

"However, I am eighteen years old now; surely such things will not happen again?"

As Bai Bai Bai Axiu thought this, her heart relaxed slightly, but then her breath suddenly caught.

"Shi Shi Zhongyu... Black and White Dual Swords..."

If she remembered correctly, the "Black and White Dual Swords" had sent a letter of introduction two days ago, requesting an audience with the Snow Mountain Sect.

Could it be that the purpose of their visit was to bring their son, Shi Shi Zhongyu?

Thinking of this possibility, Bai Bai Bai Axiu immediately became anxious!

What if the Snow Mountain Sect, just as in the book, accepted Shi Shi Zhongyu as a disciple, and then a tragedy unfolded...

At the thought of that terrible consequence, Bai Bai Bai Axiu's bright, clear big eyes could not help but fill with tears.

"Grandmother... yes, Grandmother! I must go tell Grandmother that Shi Shi Zhongyu is a villain. If he comes, he must absolutely not be admitted into the Snow Mountain Sect."

In her distress, Bai Bai Bai Axiu thought of her grandmother, Shi Shi Xiaocui, who had always doted on her.

Within the Snow Mountain Sect, Shi Shi Xiaocui wielded immense authority; even the Sect Leader, her grandfather Bai Zizai, deferred to her by three parts. Bai Bai Bai Axiu immediately formed a plan.

[The women of the martial world each possess their own unique charm, but Bai Bai Axiu is undoubtedly one of the few best suited to be a wife.]

[I wonder if she is currently at the Snow Mountain Sect, has already fled with Shi Shi Xiaocui, or perhaps has even married?]

[Never mind, I won't dwell on it; I'll just visit the Snow Mountain Sect later to see for myself.]

[If she is no longer there, then future events will simply depend on fate.]

Here, the diary's content ended, followed by the segment everyone loved most.

As expected, the system's prompt sounded—

[Detected that Jiang Sishui has completed today's diary entry. Congratulations, you have obtained one month's worth of Qi.]

[Selecting today's prize recipient...]

[Congratulations to Bai Bai Bai Axiu for obtaining the special talent "Discerning Eye."]

"Discerning Eye? A special talent?"

Following Qi, martial arts, pills, and rare treasures, the diary had now introduced a fifth type of reward—talents!

This inevitably stirred curiosity among the women.

Discerning Eye? Does that mean judging people accurately?

Meanwhile, as two beams of white light pierced her eyes, Bai Bai Bai Axiu accepted this special talent.

In an instant, she understood the function of this talent.

Simply put, it granted her the ability to see through the beauty or ugliness of a person's heart with a single glance.

Whenever she wished, by focusing her ocular power, the person she gazed upon would turn transparent in her vision, leaving only their heart visible.

The color and appearance of different people's hearts varied; whether they were beautiful or hideous depended entirely on the goodness or badness of that person's soul.

"That is just as well. With this talent, if Shi Shi Zhongyu truly arrives, I will be able to see his true nature and determine whether he matches the person described in the book."

Having received such a reward, Bai Bai Bai Axiu felt immense joy in her heart.

From now on, she could easily distinguish between good people and villains.

Jiang Sishui put away the diary and added the rewarded 500 experience points to the "Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Art."
