Chapter 6

The battle grew ever more intense, and finally alarmed Lianxing.

Fortunately, Lianxing arrived in time and talked Yao Yue down; otherwise, if Yao Yue had stubbornly kept charging in like that, she would have been beaten until she vomited blood by the diary copy.

After "teaching" Yao Yue a lesson, the diary copy automatically flew into Yao Yue's hand.

Yao Yue wanted to throw it away, but couldn't.

Clearly, the diary copy conveyed a meaning: What I give you, you cannot refuse!

This half-killed Yao Yue with rage.

Luckily, with Lianxing's persuasion beside her, she had no choice but to accept this fact.

Then she opened the diary copy and was stunned by the various secrets recorded on it.

Yao Yue suddenly felt that having such a thing wasn't bad either.

However, just then, the diary copy updated its title page.

【Character: Yao Yue】

【Appearance: 10】

【Favorability: 4】

Seeing the information above, Yao Yue's temper exploded on the spot!

A perfect appearance score didn't surprise her—if even she couldn't achieve that, then the diary copy would be the problem.

What made Yao Yue angry was that her own favorability was only four!

Disgusted!

You find me disgusting yet you still shove the diary copy into my hand—are you sick?!

Of course, Yao Yue also knew in her heart that this matter was most likely unrelated to Jiang Sishui, because he didn't even know the diary copy existed.

As for whether Jiang Sishui was playing dumb?

That possibility couldn't be ruled out, but the probability wasn't high.

Because putting herself in his shoes, Yao Yue felt that if it were her, knowing her diary would be seen by others, she would absolutely never expose so much information.

Not to mention, if Jiang Sishui knew they had the diary copy, would he so brazenly display his philandering nature?

But then again, low favorability was actually only a secondary factor in Yao Yue's anger.

After all, she was a proud woman and didn't particularly care about others' opinions of her.

The fundamental reason she was so angry was Lianxing!

Lianxing also had a diary copy.

And what was written on that title page was glaringly obvious—

【Character: Lianxing】

【Appearance: 10】

【Favorability: 8】

The same high appearance score, yet her own "favorability" was only half of Lianxing's!

Just barely scraping past the passing line!

How could Yao Yue possibly endure this?

Women all like to compare themselves, and Yao Yue was no exception—even though some comparisons were actually quite laughable.

But losing to her own sister still made Yao Yue extremely unhappy.

006. The Reward for the Women, Truth Water

Lianxing and Yao Yue had grown up together since childhood; no one knew a sister like a younger sister, and she knew exactly what she was thinking.

Seeing Yao Yue gnashing her teeth yet helpless, Lianxing suddenly felt a bit of satisfaction in her heart.

From childhood to adulthood, her elder sister had been utterly domineering, always having to outdo her in everything, with an extremely strong desire for control, unable to tolerate the slightest defiance from others.

Including her own younger sister.

Besides, Yao Yue also possessed an extremely strong possessive desire.

Anything good, if her sister had it, she must have it too; if she didn't have it, her sister wasn't allowed to have it either!

Only after she had it could her sister have it!

She was just that overbearing and unreasonable.

Therefore, having lived under Yao Yue's high-pressure rule for so long, Lianxing inevitably harbored some resentment in her heart.

It was just because of that incident from childhood, which left a shadow in her heart, that she never dared to resist.

Now seeing someone who could make Yao Yue suffer a setback, and that her own position in that person's heart was higher than her sister's, Lianxing instantly felt immensely pleased.

Along with that, she also developed considerable goodwill toward Jiang Sishui.

"Like... he likes me?"

Thinking about the favorability rating, Lianxing suddenly felt a strange sense of novelty in her heart.

A hint of secret joy, and a bit of smugness.

You should know that growing up this big, no member of the opposite sex had ever expressed love to her.

Of course, this was also related to her habit of rarely leaving the Yihua Palace.

Besides, with her title as the Second Palace Master of Yihua Palace, even if ordinary people had the heart, they wouldn't have the courage!

"Too bad he's a philandering rogue."

Lianxing sighed inwardly, and seeing that Yao Yue already had vented her anger, she stepped forward at once.

She didn't mention the favorability matter, to avoid Yao Yue losing face, and instead changed the subject: "Sister, do you think this world is really imagined and fictional? Are we all fake?"

Yao Yue calmed her anger slightly and said coldly: "Fake? If we are fake, then he himself is fake too!"

Yao Yue didn't care about the so-called truth of the world; as long as she knew she was a living person now, that was enough.

Besides, even if they are fake, what can she do?

Lianxing naturally knew this; her asking was merely to divert Yao Yue's attention.

"What about the martial arts and treasures recorded here?" Lianxing looked at Yao Yue hesitantly.

Yao Yue frowned, then said: "Send the maids to Mount Emei and Wuliang Mountain to search. The rest are too far—forget them."

Although the Yihua Palace possessed two great foundational martial arts—"Mingyu Art" and "Yihua Jieyu"—both Worldly Divine Arts, mastering either made one a Grand Master.

But Yao Yue knew well that these Two Great Divine Arts paled in comparison to the Sacred Scripture and Heavenly Art!

Yao Yue was proud, but not foolish; whatever the diary's author cherished so deeply could not be ordinary.

At the very least, it would be a Divine Art!

If she were fortunate enough to obtain the Sacred Scripture or even the Heavenly Art, she might advance further, break through to Grand Master, and become a Celestial!

Even higher realms!

How could she remain unmoved?

"Pity—the only treasure explicitly located is the Liuren Divine Dice in Jiang Jiang Biehe's possession. By the time we uncover his identity and move, someone else will have already seized it," Lianxing sighed regretfully.

Yao Yue's face remained expressionless, her voice cold: "The Liuren Divine Dice has appeared multiple times in the martial world, yet no one has ever unlocked its secret. What good would it do even if you obtained it? Unless the diary's author wrote out the key."

Lianxing realized this was true.

After a moment of silence, Lianxing suddenly asked: "Sister, do you think the immortal-fantasy, xuanhuan, and Primordial World described in the diary are real?"

When she first read the diary's descriptions of these three high-level worlds, Lianxing had been utterly stunned.

Immortality had already been a wish beyond their dreams; xuanhuan and Primordial World were beyond imagination.

Could a mere insignificant blade of grass slay the sun, moon, and stars?

Could a single thought cause countless worlds to be born and perish?

What kind of joke is this!

Surely it's not describing myths?

Had the diary's copy not been so miraculous, Lianxing would never have believed a single word.

But if all this were true, what kind of grandeur would such a world possess?

A faint yearning stirred in Lianxing's heart.

Yao Yue fell silent too—clearly, her own heart was unsettled.

Yet she could not answer this question; after a long pause, she spoke: "You go to Mount Emei. I'll go to Wuliang."

Saying this, Yao Yue turned and left the palace, swift and decisive.

"Let me accompany you to Wuliang Mountain!" Lianxing said, concerned.
