Douluo : Diary System in Douluo Continent

After the two of them tidied up their things, they left the room, only to run into the same staff member from earlier.

The staff member gave Su Ming and Xiao Wu a strange look, his gaze lingering on Xiao Wu's still slightly flushed face. He patted Su Ming on the shoulder with a mischievous grin and said, "You're so young, you need to learn some restraint! We could hear you from outside!"

Su Ming raised an eyebrow at the remark. What were these people even thinking? He was only six years old—what could he possibly do?

They had been cultivating—just cultivating!

Xiao Wu, on the other hand, blushed furiously.

Once they were outside the hotel and back at the academy, Xiao Wu said, "Su Ming, thank you so much for today. I don't even know how to repay you."

Su Ming joked, "If you don't know how to repay me, how about marrying me?"

Xiao Wu's face, which had just calmed down, turned bright red again. "How can you say that? We're only six years old!"

"Then how about becoming my little sister for now?" Su Ming backtracked. They were still young—no rush.

Xiao Wu thought to herself, Little sister? I'm old enough to be your ancestor.

After a moment of thought, she asked a serious question, "Su Ming, if many people come after me to kill me in the future, will you protect me?"

Although Xiao Wu knew from the diary that Su Ming was aware of her identity as a soul beast, she still wanted to hear the answer directly from him.

Su Ming responded earnestly, "Don't worry. If anyone ever dares to hurt or kill you, I'll make sure they pay the price! I won't let anything happen to you, not as long as I'm alive!"

Su Ming had known for a while that Xiao Wu was a 100,000-year soul beast, and he was being sincere. Even though he was still young and not yet powerful enough, with his system, he was confident he could protect her in the future. Whoever tried to harm Xiao Wu—he would make sure they faced dire consequences.

Xiao Wu smiled in response. "Then I'll be your little sister!"

Su Ming beamed. "Then you'll have to call me 'big brother' from now on!"

"Su Ming-gege!" Xiao Wu called out sweetly, though it felt a bit unfamiliar. After all, she had always been a leader herself.

Then, Su Ming made a decision. Taking Xiao Wu by the hand, he quickly led her into a small grove nearby.

His sudden action left Xiao Wu puzzled.

Su Ming spoke, "Xiao Wu, I actually know that you're a 100,000-year soul beast in human form!"

Xiao Wu's heart skipped a beat. Why would Su Ming suddenly bring this up?

Seeing that Xiao Wu didn't have much of a reaction, Su Ming found it strange. Something's off. Why is she so calm? Shouldn't she be more surprised that I know about her soul beast identity? This isn't right—something's definitely off.

"Xiao Wu, aren't you surprised?" Su Ming asked, raising an eyebrow.

Xiao Wu panicked internally. Oh no, she had been too calm and forgot to act surprised! What should she do now?

Thinking fast, Xiao Wu's eyes filled with tears. "Su Ming-gege, I just became your little sister, and you already want to kill me for my soul ring and soul bone?"

Seeing that she was about to cry, Su Ming waved his hands frantically, "Of course not! You're my sister now. I could never hurt you!"

"I told you because I want you to trust me. Just give me some time, and no one will ever be able to bully you!"

Su Ming then added a small lie, "The reason I know you're a 100,000-year soul beast is that my eyes are special. They allow me to see through such things."

"I see, I trust you then!" Xiao Wu said, a bit relieved.

The two naturally embraced, and Xiao Wu felt more at ease. Now that Su Ming had openly acknowledged her identity, she no longer had to hide it from him, and there was no need to be cautious around him anymore.

In fact, she was glad Su Ming knew, so she wouldn't have to worry about when or how to reveal her secret.

As Xiao Wu relaxed, she couldn't help but smile. Su Ming-gege, you silly boy. You really think your Sharingan can see through the disguise of a 100,000-year soul beast? If I didn't have your diary's copy, I might've actually believed you.

Although it was a lie, Xiao Wu found it endearing rather than offensive. It made her feel warm inside.

The two held hands and went to grab something to eat.

If someone looked closely, they would notice that Su Ming's ears were still red. It was his first time saying such cheesy things, after all.

As they ate, Su Ming began to write in his diary.

Today's entry needs to start!

[Diary Entry]

[Today, I gave the last of the Body-Refining Liquid to Xiao Wu. Keeping it for myself was pointless, so I thought it would be best to help Xiao Wu improve her physical strength.

The seven bottles of Body-Refining Liquid should be just right for her. If I'm correct, Xiao Wu has already formed her first soul ring, but after using up the liquid, she should be able to form a second soul ring, one around 2,000 years old, without much trouble.]

Now, the other heroines who hadn't yet obtained their soul rings were a bit envious of Xiao Wu—she definitely had an advantage being close to Su Ming!

[I also tried cultivating a spiritual power technique today. It was very painful. With my current spiritual strength, I shouldn't train too frequently, but the results should still be good. After going through so much pain, there better be some gain!]

[And the best part of today? Xiao Wu became my little sister. Of course, this is just the first step. Xiao Wu is destined to become my wife in the end!

The things I gave her are like an early dowry, haha!]

Though the girls didn't know what a dowry was, they understood that Xiao Wu probably wouldn't escape Su Ming's grasp.

As for Xiao Wu, she wasn't worried about such things. She figured everything would happen naturally. Su Ming was a great person—handsome and kind—what was there to complain about? For now, she was content with their current relationship.

[However, today I told Xiao Wu that I knew she was a 100,000-year soul beast. Surprisingly, she didn't seem too shocked. Something's definitely off!]

This line made Xiao Wu's heart skip a beat, and the other girls felt a little tense. Had Xiao Wu slipped up?
