Chapter 49

But reason often yields to emotion; she simply felt miserable.

Perhaps in her heart, she had long regarded Jiang Sishui as her own possession.

Now that her "home" had been stolen, with someone cutting in ahead of her, it was tantamount to snatching away what rightfully belonged to her; it would be strange if Huang Rong could feel happy about this.

"Hmph! Poisoned by spring aphrodisiac? And she just happened to run right in front of him for him to detoxify her? Do you really think such coincidences exist in this world?!"

The more Huang Rong thought about it, the angrier she became.

Jiang Sishui was unaware of the existence of the diary instance, making him like a player trapped within the game, whereas they were clear-sighted observers.

Huang Rong didn't even need to rack her brains to know that some owner of a diary instance had staged this entire drama.

"Regarding what happened last night... Zhao Zhao Zhao Qiying... who was near Zhao Zhao Zhao Qiying last night?"

Following this clue, Huang Rong used the "Kunji Imperial Seal" to search and quickly locked onto her target.

"This little bitch! Aaaargh! I'm so furious I could die!"

Huang Rong ground her silver teeth tightly, firmly committing the other party to memory.

In a room not far from Jiang Sishui, Zhao Zhao Zhao Qiying's face was also pale.

Her hands trembling, she poured herself a cup of tea, took a small sip, and slightly calmed the turbulent emotions churning within her.

At this moment, she finally understood why Jiang Sishui had been acting somewhat abnormally today.

It turned out that after she left last night, such an incident had occurred.

Zhao Zhao Zhao Qiying's heart ached sharply.

Then another thought arose: "If, last night, I hadn't rejected him, then..."

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhao Zhao Qiying's ears burned hot, and two patches of crimson flushed across her cheeks.

A woman's instinctive reserve made her feel extremely shy about her own bold thoughts.

Pressing her palm against her scalding cheeks, Zhao Zhao Zhao Qiying gradually calmed down; a flicker of hesitation crossed her eyes, followed by resolve.

At this moment, she made the most important decision of her life.

In fact, Huang Rong and Zhao Zhao Zhao Qiying were not the only ones feeling displeased; others who harbored designs on Jiang Sishui were equally jealous.

It was just that their relationships with Jiang Sishui had made no progress whatsoever; even if they lined up to feel jealous, it wouldn't be their turn yet, so their reactions were not as intense as those of Huang Rong and Zhao Zhao Zhao Qiying.

[I woke up early this morning only to find she was already gone.]

[Although she was poisoned by the spring aphrodisiac last night and I was saving her life, the fact remains indisputable that I took her body and ruined her purity.]

[I must take responsibility for this!]

[I clearly intended to cherish and protect her well, so why did she leave quietly without even giving me a chance to express my feelings?]

[But it doesn't matter; I will go find her.]

[She is my first woman; even if I must travel to the ends of the earth and turn the entire Central Region upside down, I will definitely find her!]

[Although she didn't tell me who she was, upon seeing her face, which was no less beautiful than that of a celestial maiden, I more or less guessed her identity.]

[Bai Bai Bai Feifei, Ning Xiang, Shui Shui Furong.]

[It must be one of these three.]

Ghost Palace, Suzhou Station.

Bai Bai Bai Feifei held the diary instance, reading its contents, while the corner of her mouth curled up into a smug arc.

The one who had spent the night of passion with Jiang Sishui last night was naturally her.

Bai Bai Bai Feifei was different from other women; upon learning of Jiang Sishui's uniqueness and the various miraculous powers of the diary, she had become interested in him and immediately rushed to Suzhou.

Especially after Huang Rong obtained the "Kunji Imperial Seal," Bai Bai Bai Feifei, having deduced the meaning of "Kunji," connected many dots.

Unable to discard the diary instance yet powerless to resist its miraculous forces, she had pondered all night long.

Ultimately, she made a bold decision: rather than waiting for Jiang Sishui to come knocking and pick and choose, it was better to take the initiative!

She wanted to turn passivity into activity!

She intended to secure Jiang Sishui first, while all other competitors were still hesitating, feeling shy, or merely observing!

To claim his first time!

The reason for doing this?

Naturally, because the "first time" often holds extremely special significance, imprinting itself on one's memory for a lifetime.

Only in this way could she forever occupy a place in the deepest part of Jiang Sishui's heart.

As long as she succeeded, even if Huang Rong became the mistress of the harem in the future, she would have nothing to fear.

She might even be able to stand as an equal rival to her!

To be frank, Bai Bai Bai Feifei's actions were not driven by any deep affection for Jiang Sishui, but rather stemmed from a calculation of benefits, aiming to secure more for herself as soon as possible.

The fierce battle at the entrance of Guqian Road yesterday was orchestrated by her, where she instigated several local powers to clash with each other.

Furthermore, the difficult stretch of road that followed was also sabotaged by her in advance.

The purpose of all this was to delay the escort convoy's progress, forcing them to be unable to stay at an inn and compelling them to lodge in that abandoned manor instead.

Then, she had subordinates of the Ghost Palace enter the manor to attract everyone's attention, while she herself sneaked into the place where Jiang Sishui was staying.

And to make the effect more realistic, avoiding arousing Jiang Sishui's vigilance or suspicion, she had indeed consumed the spring aphrodisiac herself.

As for why she didn't stay by Jiang Sishui's side afterward, that too was done intentionally.

Her goal was to keep Jiang Sishui thinking of her and longing for her, firmly embedding herself in his heart.

When the time was ripe, she would deliberately let him find her; at that point, with Jiang Sishui regaining what he thought lost, he would surely dote on and cherish her endlessly.

This was Bai Bai Bai Feifei's calculation.

And evidently, judging from the diary's contents, she had succeeded!

And very successfully so.

[Character: Bai Bai Bai Feifei]

[Appearance: 10]

[Affection: 10]

Originally, her affection score was merely "eight," signifying only "liking," yet in just one night, it had directly maxed out.

This made Bai Bai Bai Feifei even more confident in her own body.

Regardless of whether Jiang Sishui was now "infatuated" with her entire person or merely her flesh, it was a perfect score, already surpassing the vast majority of people.

Immediately after, recalling Jiang Sishui's hesitation at the very beginning last night, she could not help but find it somewhat amusing.

This proved that what Jiang Sishui wrote in his diary was true; he truly was a virgin.

Come to think of it, that demeanor actually seemed somewhat cute to Bai Bai Bai Feifei.

Of course, this excluded what happened afterward.

Bai Bai Bai Feifei couldn't help but rub her flawless, delicate body, which still ached faintly, complaining softly with lingering fear: "Truly a wild ox, knowing nothing of cherishing the fragrant and sparing the jade."

As several memory fragments flashed through her mind, Bai Bai Bai Feifei suddenly flushed crimson, and a trace of shyness and tenderness appeared in her misty, water-rippling eyes.

The "first time" was undoubtedly etched into Jiang Sishui's bones and heart, but was it not the same for her?

"Travel to the ends of the earth to find me? It seems I did not misjudge; this little nemesis of mine actually knows how to take responsibility."

"Three people? Ningxiang? Shui Shui Furong? Could these two look exactly like me?"

She was not the only one with this question; the other two girls named likewise shared the same doubt.

Ezhou, Zhushan.

This place was originally named "Shangyong"; to the north lies Mount Mount Mount Wudang, and to the south lies the Daba Mountains. Because the region is filled with lush forests and tall bamboo, boasting clear waters and beautiful mountains, it was renamed "Zhushan."

On Zhushan stands a Guanyin Temple, where a mother and daughter reside.

The woman is named Wanggu, and the beautiful young lady is named Ningxiang.

Having lived a life nearly isolated from the world since childhood, Ningxiang's personality resembles that of Bai Bai Bai Axiu: innocent and kind.

At this moment, she was staring blankly at the diary page, her face filled with astonishment and confusion: "This Ningxiang, could it be me? If so, does that mean Bai Bai Bai Feifei and Shui Shui Furong look exactly like me?"

Filled with curiosity, she continued reading.

At the same time, she hoped that she too would soon receive a reward; if only she could obtain a miraculous pill capable of curing her mother's madness.

Meanwhile.

Zhezhou, Song Capital Lin'an, Shui Residence.

Shui Shui Furong held a copy of the diary, completely bewildered, muttering to herself: "Bai Bai Bai Feifei? Ningxiang? Could it be that Father has illegitimate daughters outside? Or are they my long-lost biological sisters?"

Believing that if one does not understand, one should ask, Shui Shui Furong went directly to question her father, Shui Che.

As a result, Shui Che was even more bewildered than she was, having no idea what madness had possessed the girl today to speak such nonsense.
