Chapter 8: Dungeon Check-In Reward, the Forgetful Bibi Dong
[Carrot Lover]: What do I do? I've been targeted by a Titled Douluo!
[Carrot Lover]: Are there any sisters who can help me come up with a plan? I'm still young—I don't want to die!
[Carrot Lover]: If only I'd listened to Da Ming and Er Ming and not gone out so casually. Now I've been targeted by a Titled Douluo… this little rabbit is finished.
Xiao Wu was frantically sending messages in the chat group, feeling like she was sitting on pins and needles because of Tang Hao's presence.
But she didn't dare run. Tang Hao was watching her the entire time—if she dared to flee, what awaited her would be captivity at the hands of a Titled Douluo.
[I Am a Little Princess]: ???
[I Am a Little Princess]: Are you the rogue rabbit Xiao Wu that the diary owner Lin Chen mentioned?
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
After finishing Lin Chen's diary entry, Ning Rongrong immediately saw Xiao Wu's flurry of messages in the chat group.
Just moments ago, the diary owner Lin Chen had mentioned that the rogue rabbit Xiao Wu was being watched by Tang Hao, a Titled Douluo. In the very next moment, Xiao Wu was flooding the chat group with messages.
Clever as she was, Ning Rongrong quickly guessed Xiao Wu's true identity.
[Carrot Lover]: What should I do now? Sisters, do any of you have a solution?
After chatting for some time, Xiao Wu also realized that nearly everyone in this chat group was female—there wasn't a single male member.
[Yan Will Come Back]: Speaking of which, why would a Titled Douluo target you?
[Yan Will Come Back]: Did you cripple his junior? Or kill someone?
Seeing @Yan Will Come Back's message, Xiao Wu hesitated briefly, wondering whether she should reveal that she was a hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beast.
She was a rare and highly coveted hundred-thousand-year soul beast, while the rest of the group members were soul masters.
Before they knew her true identity, they might treat her as a sister—but once they found out who she really was, Xiao Wu felt they might see her as nothing more than a priceless treasure.
After all, the temptation of a transformed hundred-thousand-year soul beast was simply too great. Killing her would not only yield a hundred-thousand-year soul ring but also a hundred-thousand-year soul bone.
But the naïve Xiao Wu had completely forgotten the rules of the chat group at this moment.
Group members are forbidden from harming one another. Violators will be expelled from the chat group, their diary copies confiscated, and their memories erased.
[I Have No Mother]: Xiao Wu, there's no need to worry so much. You won't face any real danger this year — didn't the diary owner Lin Chen just say so?
[I Have No Mother]: The diary owner Lin Chen said he needs to stay away from you for a year. Doesn't that mean you'll be safe for the entire year?
Heaven Dou City.
Seeing the messages in the chat group, Qian Renxue had already formed a preliminary guess about Xiao Wu's true identity.
As the young lady of Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue was quite knowledgeable. Coupled with the diary owner's description, Xiao Wu was very likely a transformed hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
Qian Renxue figured it out.
Naturally, Bibi Dong, the Pope, also figured it out. As long as Yu Xiaogang and Qian Xunji weren't involved, Bibi Dong's intelligence was still fully functional.
From a few scattered clues alone, she deduced that Xiao Wu was a transformed hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
"A transformed hundred-thousand-year soul beast… what a pity,"
Bibi Dong said softly, seated on the pope's throne in the Pope's Hall, shaking her head with a sigh.
The allure of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast was indeed immense.
But Xiao Wu was a member of the chat group—meaning Bibi Dong couldn't hunt her.
Between a hundred-thousand-year soul beast and the mysterious diary and chat group, Bibi Dong knew perfectly well which mattered more.
Seeing the chat group messages, Xiao Wu hurriedly checked Lin Chen's diary content, carefully rereading it before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
"That scared this little rabbit to death."
With the reminders from the chat group members, Xiao Wu finally came to her senses. It seemed that the Titled Douluo named Tang Hao wasn't planning to kill her just yet.
And right at that moment—
Major news appeared in the chat group once again.
[A Cat Longing for Freedom]: Everyone, it looks like the diary copy can now be checked in for rewards.
[A Cat Longing for Freedom]: The reward I got today was a 0.05-level increase in soul power. Hurry up and check what rewards you can get!
Seeing this message, everyone in the chat group immediately went to the diary copy to check in and claim their rewards.
[I Am a Little Princess]: Mine is also an increase in soul power, but it's 0.04 levels.
[A Little Fox]: Mine is different—I got +10 to my spiritual power.
[A Little Fox]: This reward suits me perfectly. Most of my soul skills are mental-type anyway, so this is just right for me.
[Yan Will Come Back]: Mine is different, too. All of my soul rings' years increased by 50 years.
[Cold and Detached Melon-Eating Girl]: Mine is soul power as well—an increase of 0.06 levels.
[I Have No Mother]: Same as above—soul power, +0.05 levels.
[My Surname is Not Yu]: Same as the one above.
[Carrot Lover]: Same here.
[Pope of Spirit Hall]: Mine is an increase of 100 years to all soul ring ages. Not bad.
Spirit Hall.
After claiming today's diary reward, Bibi Dong felt quite satisfied and content.
As the time she spent reading the diary increased, there would surely be weekly rewards, monthly rewards, and yearly rewards as well—and those were bound to be even more generous.
On top of that, as the diary owner's strength increased and the chat group's activity level rose, she would be able to obtain even more benefits.
Unlike other god inheritors, the Rakshasa God was simply far too stingy. The divine trials barely gave any rewards at all—Bibi Dong had truly been scared poor by it.
Just look at the Angel God next door. Even Qian Daoliu, who was basically working for free, had an eight-black, one-red soul ring configuration.
And then look at herself—a genuine god inheritor, yet her soul ring colors were still two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red.
It was downright embarrassing for a god inheritor.
And that hundred-thousand-year soul ring had been something she personally hunted in the Star Dou Forest back then. The Rakshasa God had practically never given her any meaningful trial rewards, instead dumping a pile of trouble onto her.
"If I manage to draw another god inheritance in the future, I'll throw the Rakshasa God's position away,"
Bibi Dong swore silently in her heart.
If she ever obtained a better divine inheritance later on, the very first thing she would do would be to forget her roots.
After everyone claimed today's check-in rewards, they thought that was the end for the day and were just about to close the black diary copy—
When another message suddenly popped up on the diary page.
[Ding! Congratulations to "Carrot Lover" for being mentioned the most times by the diary owner. You have obtained an additional hidden system reward.]
Nuoding Academy.
Xiao Wu had been about to close the black diary copy when she saw that she could claim another reward. Her heart instantly leapt with excitement.
On Xiao Wu's diary page, lines of blood-red text appeared one after another.
[Congratulations to "Carrot Lover." This time, the reward you have obtained is "Spatial Jade Slip."] (Allows instantaneous teleportation up to a hundred li away. Can be activated manually, and will automatically activate under special circumstances.)
Seeing the words on the diary page, Xiao Wu was overjoyed.
With the Spatial Jade Slip, she would no longer need to fear that Titled Douluo named Tang Hao ever again.

T/N: I've changed Xiao Wu's nickname from "Loves Eating Carrots" to "Carrot Lover" for convenience.
