**Chapter 257: The Light of Fireflies is Brighter Than the Moon**
Liu Erlong, lying in bed with a mix of frustration and exhaustion, noticed the latest diary update and quickly read through it. She saw that her husband had discovered a beautiful woman but didn't seem interested in her.
This struck Liu Erlong as strange. Normally, her husband couldn't resist the sight of a beautiful woman and would go to great lengths to win her over.
Of course, Liu Erlong thought, he's the type to have bad intentions but no real courage. If we sisters didn't take the initiative, this guy would hesitate for years—ten or maybe even twenty. Believe it or not!
What really caught her attention, however, was Tang Yuehua's peculiar affection for her own brother. Liu Erlong's titanium-alloy dog eyes felt permanently scarred.
What kind of twisted family values does the Haotian Sect have? This is unbearable to watch.
Then again, Liu Erlong realized she wasn't exactly in a position to criticize. After all, hadn't her husband confessed in his diary that she originally had feelings for her cousin, Yu Xiaogang?
Although she and Yu Xiaogang weren't biological siblings, her father and Yu Xiaogang's father were brothers.
Honestly, Liu Erlong thought, compared to Tang Yuehua, She is not much better. It's like laughing at someone else while standing just fifty steps away from the same mistake.
Thankfully, Liu Erlong now loved her husband and no longer had any feelings for Yu Xiaogang. Otherwise, the shame would have been unbearable.

Meanwhile, Poseidon and Bibi Dong, both deep in their cultivation and inheritance of the divine throne, paused to read the updated diary.
They couldn't help but silently scorn Tang Yuehua. A woman who only broke through to Soul Saint in her thirties dares to think of herself as a genius who dominated an era?
The notion that she harbored romantic feelings for her own brother made the two women feel even more disgusted.
Bibi Dong glanced at her own progress. Thanks to the Qirong Tongtianju and the second reward from Zhao Ling's diary, her cultivation aptitude had increased by 10%. Her soul power had now reached Level 82.
Feeling confident, she thought, At this rate, She will achieve Titled Douluo faster than Tang Hao ever could. Her husband said Tang Hao's soul power is only at Level 70 at this point in time. Without Sister Yin'er's sacrifice, how long would it take him to reach Titled Douluo? Probably not before fifty. Ha!

In her lair, the Silver Dragon King yawned lazily, uninterested in the diary update.
What's the point of reading it? she thought. None of it has anything to do with her now. Unless Zhao Ling gathers herbs and creates a pill to heal her, She will be stuck here, recovering, for who knows how long.

Meanwhile, Wang Qiuer, playing by a small river in the Star Dou Forest, noticed the updated diary and eagerly opened it.
The mention of Tiandou Imperial City caught her attention. She had long wanted to leave the forest and explore the human world but didn't know where to find the diary's owner.
Now that she knew Zhao Ling was in Tiandou Imperial City, she resolved to go there and try her luck.
She want to see if the diary's owner matches the tall, majestic figure in her imagination, she thought. And she is curious how her so-called "original body" will react to meeting her.

In Wuhun City's Pope's Palace, Qianxunji was trying to coax his daughter when he noticed her suddenly becoming serious, her eyes focused as if reading something invisible.
Startled, Qianxunji thought, What's wrong with her? Why is she so serious all of a sudden? Did she… wet her pants? No, that's impossible. She's too smart for that.
Unbeknownst to him, Qian Renxue had just finished reading the diary.
Tang Yuehua? she thought. Isn't that Tang San's aunt?
In her previous life, when she disguised herself as Xue Qinghe, she had been familiar with Tang Yuehua and found her intriguing.
Tang Yuehua's beauty, elegance, and unparalleled harp skills had made her seem untouchable. She had never been linked to any man, appearing selfless and pure.
But now, Qian Renxue understood the truth: Tang Yuehua's affections were entirely focused on her own brother.
What a joke, Qian Renxue thought. What's so great about Tang Hao? He's just a brute with strength and no intelligence. Even Tang San is better than him, though both are leagues beneath Brother Ling.
She chuckled to herself. Tang Hao is like a firefly compared to the bright moon that is Brother Ling. There's simply no comparison. Tang Yuehua's lack of vision is truly pitiful.

Meanwhile, under the willow tree in the Haotian Sect, Tang Yuehua noticed a strange copy of the diary floating in front of her.
Frowning, she wondered, What is this? How can something like this float in the air?
Tentatively, she reached out, only to find her fingers passing right through it. She paused, puzzled.
Is this some kind of illusion?
After a moment of hesitation, she tried mentally commanding it to open. To her surprise, the diary responded, revealing its contents.
As she read the entries, a pleasant male voice narrated them aloud.
With each line, Tang Yuehua grew more alarmed. Someone was observing her. She quickly glanced around the courtyard, searching for the intruder.
How can this be? she thought, her heart racing. There's no one here… She's completely alone.
Her brows furrowed deeply as she tried to make sense of the strange and unsettling situation.
