People are Fighting to Break Their Diaries! They Forced Me to Eat Soft Food

166: Chapter 166 The Name of Xiao Ting! Breakthrough to Dou Huang”I must say, you’re quite skilled at cooking.”

”Once you lose, you can be my guard and my cook as well.”

After eating and drinking their fill, Huo Zhi expressed her approval of Xiao Ting’s culinary skills.

”You’d better focus on how you’ll be serving me tea, pouring water, warming my bed, and folding my quilts,” Xiao Ting retorted without yielding.

The two stared at each other, their gazes clashing in the air as they stood in sharp opposition.

Xun’er stood between them, trying to smooth things over and urging them not to be so hostile.

After leaving the courtyard, Xiao Ting immediately made an entry in his Diary.

[Heaven is helping me.]

[Thanks to Huo Zhi for sending over quasi-heaven rank to Mid-rank Heaven Class Cultivation Methods, Dou Techniques, and Secret Techniques.]

[And she herself will also become my personal maid, serving tea, pouring water, massaging my shoulders, pounding my legs, warming my bed, and folding my quilts.]

The women holding their Diary copies, who weren’t present at the scene: ?

[Yao Ling]: You really know how to play.

[Tang Huo’er]: So it turns out you’re like this, Sister Huo Zhi.

[Feng Qing’er]: I thought you had some clever trick, Sister, but it turns out you’re just someone who provides for a freeloader?

[Zi Yan]: I originally wanted to learn a thing or two, but now that I think about it, never mind!

[Huo Zhi]: You all misunderstand.

[Yao Ling]: Misunderstand? Did you not give him those cultivation methods and Dou Techniques, or did you not agree to become his personal maid?

[Huo Zhi]: Neither!

[Cao Ying]: Sister Huo Zhi, are you implying my master is always writing nonsense in the Diary? Wild fantasies? Daydreaming?

[Huo Zhi]: That’s not what I meant either; I just made a bet with him.

A bet?

The women were stunned.

But in the next moment, they found the answer in the Diary.

[It’s only natural for Huo Zhi to come to Jia Nan Academy to see a Heavenly Flame and become friends with Xun’er.]

[As a direct descendant of an Emperor Clan who reached the Dou Zun level at such a young age, it’s even more normal for her to look down on me.]

[But she was so full of mockery that she eventually provoked Xun’er into threatening to cut ties with her, so she took a roundabout way to make a bet with me.]

[The terms of the bet...]

[Becoming a Dou Zong before age twenty?]

[Becoming a Dou Zun before Xun’er’s Coming-of-age ceremony?]

[If I can’t even do this, I might as well slit my own throat sooner rather than later.]

[Huo Zhi is ultimately just giving herself away for free!]

Xiao Ting’s writing ended there.

Seeing this, Huo Zhi breathed a sigh of relief; her reputation was saved.

[Huo Zhi]: See? I’m just betting with him. I didn’t directly give him anything, nor did I degrade myself to be his maid.

[Yao Ling]: I have just one question: can you win the bet?

[Huo Zhi]: Of course not.

[Yao Ling]: Did you know that beforehand?

[Huo Zhi]: Uh... yes.

[Tang Huo’er]: If you knew you were bound to lose and still agreed to those terms, isn’t that the same as giving yourself away for free?

[Cao Ying]: My master knows you’ll lose, you know you’ll lose, and you know my master knows you’ll lose. Only my master doesn’t know that you already knew, yet he’s certain you’ll lose. You’re just giving yourself away for free.

The women: ”...”

Young girls really are energetic; that was quite a tongue-twister.

[Huo Zhi]: Xun’er won’t just stand by and watch me become Xiao Ting’s maid.

[Xun’er]: I will. Don’t ask; I’m even the witness.

[Huo Zhi]: ...

Hadn’t she completely messed up this time?

On the other side, Xiao Ting went to Xiao Yan’s residence again and obtained the emperor breaking pill refined by Yao Lao.

”Brother Yan, try your best to take a spot in the top five tomorrow. The top five get a chance to enter the Library Pavilion to choose a book. They even have High-rank Di Class Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques, as well as Body-tempering secret arts and Soul Techniques,” Xiao Ting reminded Xiao Yan.

”I understand!” Xiao Yan, who had originally planned to just coast into the top fifty to get a promotion spot, saw his gaze change as fighting intent surged.

”Senior, I’m going into seclusion now. I’ll see you in the Inner Academy next time.”

After bidding farewell to Yao Lao and Xiao Yan, Xiao Ting returned to the Inner Academy at his fastest speed. Showing his token, he familiarly made his way to the lowest level.

Sitting on the jade platform, the Fallen Heart Flame within the seal immediately sensed his return. It eagerly approached and proactively supplied its Heart Flame power.

In front of the Purple Heaven Flame, it was as well-behaved as a child.

”I wonder if the Void Swallowing Flame and the Purification Lotus Demon Flame would kneel directly or even proactively submit and obey if they saw my Purple Heaven Flame.”

”If they would, then things would be quite interesting.”

Xiao Ting’s thoughts wandered, but he quickly focused his mind, took out the emperor breaking pill, and tossed it into his mouth.

The Purple Heaven Flame emerged, enveloping his body and unscrupulously devouring the energy provided by the Fallen Heart Flame.

Plane Blessing: [Seven days of effect from meditating on the Purple Heaven Flame]

Plane Blessing: [Seven days of effect from Tier 5 Alchemist experience]

Plane Blessing: [Seven days of effect from cultivating the Thunder Flame Indestructible Body]

Plane Blessing: [...]

Plane Blessing: [Seven days of effect from Tier 5 Alchemist experience]

Time flies like an arrow, and the years pass like a shuttle; ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these ten days, many things happened in the Black-Corner Region.

First, the news of Xiao Ting killing the Gold and Silver Elders and then Han Feng spread throughout the Black-Corner Region.

Since the top ten experts on the Black-Corner Region’s Top Ranking were all present, no one questioned the authenticity of the news.

When they learned that Xiao Ting was not even sixteen yet was already a Peak Dou Wang and a Tier 5 Alchemist...

Countless people in the Black-Corner Region were talking, and many even decided to join Zixiao City, which was the renamed Maple City.

With Yun Yun, who had the strength of a Peak Dou Huang, and a mysterious female Dou Zong as backing, plus Xiao Ting’s own ability to kill enemies above his level and his Alchemist skills, it was definitely a power worth joining.

It wasn’t just rogue cultivators who had this idea; even experts within various sects and powers, and even the leaders of those powers, thought the same.

Given the talent, background, and ability Xiao Ting displayed, becoming a Dou Zong and a Seventh-Rank Alchemist in the future was a certainty.

By then, wanting to join Maple City would only be adding flowers to a bouquet.

If they led their people to join now, would they become trusted confidants?

Regarding this question, Su Mei expressed that as a woman leading and supporting a power on her own, she truly felt her strength was lacking, so she decided to be the first to take the plunge.

Seven days after the incident, Su Mei announced that the Rakshasa Sect would join Zixiao City, becoming one of its branches, the Rakshasa Hall, with herself as the Hall Master.

Yun Yun accepted her loyalty on behalf of Xiao Ting.

While Xiao Ting’s fame was spreading in the Black-Corner Region, many things were also happening within Jia Nan Academy.

The biggest event was naturally the Inner Academy selection competition, and the final list of promoted students was shocking.

The top five were Han Yue, Xun’er, Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, and Xiao Yan—all of whom were freshmen who had only been enrolled for three months.

This caused people to lament that Jia Nan Academy had recruited a bunch of monsters this time.

After participating in the Fire Energy Hunting Competition, these monsters, led by Xiao Yan, turned the tables and snatched Fire Energy points from the senior students.

When the teachers found the backers and decided to teach these five a lesson, they learned that the group belonged to Xiao Ting, and Xiao Yan had even joined the Alchemy Department, so the matter was eventually dropped.

”Break!”

At the lowest level of the Burning Sky Qi Refining Tower, Xiao Ting suddenly opened his eyes.

A massive transformation began within his body, and his cultivation level started to skyrocket.

”It’s time to go down!”
