My daughter has grown up, but she's the ugliest in the family.

Chapter 86 My daughter has grown up; among a thousand families, is Qian Xunji the ugliest? (Please continue reading)

The arrival of these two people made Zhu Zhuqing feel a sense of crisis. They had just met at noon, and now they were seeing each other again.

The moment Dai Yichen saw Zhu Zhuqing, he took in the subtle expression on her face and couldn't help but smile to himself. He quickened his pace and walked up to her.

Before Zhu Zhuqing could react, he placed his hands on her waist, lifted her up, and circled her around.

"Ah—" Zhu Zhuqing didn't react for a moment, her heart filled with shyness, and she felt dizzy.

Dai Yichen stopped there, only spinning it twice before putting it down, chuckling, "Zhu Qing, sorry to have kept you waiting."

Zhu Zhuqing glanced up at Dai Yichen and then quickly lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye. She could feel her face turning as red as a quail's. It was right after school, and there were still many people around!

"Yichen, how could you do this?" Zhu Zhuqing blushed and stammered, but her voice was very soft, without anger or dissatisfaction. She was not disgusted by Dai Yichen's behavior; on the contrary, she was a little happy, especially since it was in front of the other two women who had copies of the diary.

The people around were all nobles, and many of them were very familiar with the relationship between Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Yichen. They all smiled slightly, and some even said that it was good to be young, before leaving with the others.

Hearing the light laughter and teasing from those around her, Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed even more.

Dai Yichen pretended not to know anything, touched Zhu Zhuqing's forehead and her soft, delicate cheeks, and said jokingly, "Hey, Zhuqing, what's wrong with you? Your face is so red and hot. Have you caught a cold?"

Zhu Zhuqing glared at him, wanting to say something, but then hesitated to curse, and her tone softened: "Hmph, let's go, didn't you say you'd take me shopping after dinner?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Zhuqing wrapped her arms around Dai Yichen's. Feeling that softness that was already beginning to take shape, Dai Yichen felt a strange sensation rise in his heart.

Since Zhu Zhuqing had absorbed her first spirit ring, as if influenced by her martial spirit, her figure began to develop in the manner described in the original work.

She, who was originally petite, has grown quite a bit taller, now only a head shorter than Dai Yichen.

No wonder people reach adulthood so early in this world; isn't it all thanks to spirit rings? They accelerate maturity!

Meanwhile, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in her eyes. Why was this little girl so hostile towards them? They weren't going to steal her boyfriend; they had only just met. How could she possibly be hostile? Absolutely not.

Afterwards, Dai Yichen explained to Zhu Zhuqing that he might have to spar with Dugu Yan first, but it would be soon.

Zhu Zhuqing had no objection to this; she also wanted to see just how powerful the renowned Azure Phosphorous Serpent (Emperor) Martial Soul was.

Most importantly, she hadn't seen Yichen fight in a year, and she didn't know how much his strength had improved.

As for whether Dugu Yan would win? That option wasn't even on her mind. A year ago, Yi Chen was able to defeat the Soul Master Davis. Even with the support of some diary copies, Dugu Yan was probably only a mid-level Great Soul Master at most.

Nothing to worry about!

While eating, Dai Yichen was multitasking, eating, chatting, and writing in his diary with his mind.

The three women remained silent, exchanging a few words every now and then before quietly eating their meals and reading their diaries.

[After having lunch with Zhu Qing, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling this noon, I went to see the old man and discussed with him the issues of Ye Lingling's training resources and the training of advanced blacksmiths.]

Upon seeing this line of text, Ye Lingling's delicate body trembled slightly. Her eyes, hidden beneath her white hair, glanced at Dai Yichen, whose expression remained unchanged, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.

While she had decent resources at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the cultivation of support-type martial souls was inherently more difficult. Furthermore, her martial soul's performance in the early stages was rather mediocre, so she naturally didn't receive the full support of the academy's resources. The academy planned to observe her for a while longer.

Because Ye Lingling finished eating with her head down, Dai Yichen didn't notice anything unusual.

Soon, they became curious as to why Dai Yichen wanted to train advanced blacksmiths.

Bound by traditional thinking, they previously believed that blacksmiths were basically useless to Soul Masters.

They had seen the soul tools and battle armor that Dai Yichen had mentioned before, but they had not contacted the blacksmith.

Another point is that Dai Yichen actually referred to his father as "old man" in his diary, which is simply going against the natural order!

After writing in my diary for a year, the way I address people has become increasingly casual. From "Father Emperor" and "cheap father" at the beginning to "old man" now, Dai Yutian doesn't seem that old, hahaha.

At first, the old man disagreed with allocating resources to Ye Lingling, fearing she might run away halfway. After all, her and Dugu Yan's stated reason for coming was because of me, but who knew what their real reason was? What if the resources were poured in and she ran back to the Heavenly Dou Empire?

[Dugu Bo and his granddaughter Dugu Yan are now together, but Ye Lingling came alone. She should have had a relative with her, but they didn't come with her to the Star Luo Empire.]

Ye Lingling thought to herself that it was because her grandfather's clinic in Tiandou City was booked up for half a month. Her grandfather wanted to treat all of these patients before he could prepare to close the clinic.

Ye Renxin, that's her grandfather's name. You can tell his character just from his name.

[However, perhaps I have a biased view of Ye Lingling based on anime, plus women in this world are generally quite naive; if you do her a favor, she'll repay you. Hmm~ Maybe that's not entirely true, isn't Bibi Dong just an ingrate?]

[Adopted by the Spirit Hall from a young age, she awakened twin martial souls and was taken in as a disciple by Qian Xunji. She was even made the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall and given a lot of resources to groom her as the future Pope. However, because of Yu Xiaogang, a good-for-nothing, she inexplicably wanted to leave the Spirit Hall with him back then!]

[Yu Xiaogang lacks both strength and talent, and while he might have been somewhat handsome in his youth, he couldn't possibly be as good-looking as Qian Xunji, who possesses an angelic appearance. Moreover, among the three main members of the Qian family, Qian Xunji seems to be the ugliest; Qian Daoliu is more handsome and has a more outstanding presence.]

[And Qian Renxue goes without saying; combining the best genes of Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong, she's the most beautiful woman in this timeline, even surpassing Qian Xunji.]

The deceased Chihiro: You motherfucker! Is there any comparison like that?
