Chapter 177: As Long as She's Good-Looking and Soft, That's Enough!
Lin Yuan said without turning his head, "A few nights ago, a black-clothed man wielding a hammer martial soul sneaked into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
"That person actually tried to make a move on my younger sister."
Lin Yuan's tone suddenly turned cold. "In the end, he was caught on the spot by my teacher, had one arm severed with a single strike, and fled like a stray dog."
Hearing "hammer martial soul" and "one arm severed," Tang Yuehua felt as if struck by lightning. Her legs went weak, and she nearly collapsed to the ground.
Lin Yuan let out a cold laugh. "According to my teacher, that black-robed man used your Clear Sky Sect's inherited supreme secret techniques."
"Something called ring explosion, and the Great Sumeru Hammer."
Lin Yuan slowly turned his head, looking at Tang Yuehua as he spoke word by word, "If I'm not mistaken, that stray dog was probably your second brother, Tang Hao, wasn't it?"
After saying this, Lin Yuan no longer paid any attention to Tang Yuehua and strode away.
Meanwhile, Qian Renxue, who had maintained her crown prince demeanor the entire time, cast a meaningful glance at Tang Yuehua.
Qian Renxue let out a light laugh and said in a tone only the two of them could understand, "Master Tang, Lin Yuan is making you choose between two options."
"Will you choose your one-armed second brother, or the olive branch he's offering? Think it over carefully."
With that, Qian Renxue flicked her sleeve and quickly followed.
Leaving the oppressive atmosphere of Moon Pavilion behind,
Qian Renxue soon caught up with Lin Yuan, the two walking side by side along the bustling streets of Heaven Dou City.
After holding it in for a long time, Qian Renxue finally couldn't resist.
She lightly nudged Lin Yuan with her elbow and teased in a low voice, "You little brat, do you really have a way to help Tang Yuehua break through that damned martial soul shackle?"
Her tone shifted, and a sly glint flashed in her beautiful eyes. "But… the price you mentioned just now, could it be…"
Qian Renxue deliberately paused, her gaze becoming extremely bold.
She even subconsciously lowered her head to glance at a certain part of Lin Yuan, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"You little kid, your body isn't even fully grown yet, and your mind is already filled with that kind of thing all day!"
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at him. "And besides, there are already so many stunning beauties around you."
"You actually have thoughts about Tang Yuehua, an old auntie? Your taste is way too heavy!"
Yes, in Qian Renxue's eyes, a peerless genius in the prime of her youth—
Although Tang Yuehua was well-maintained, her skin was still smooth and her charm still present.
Her actual age was obvious. To Qian Renxue, Tang Yuehua was definitely in the "old auntie" category.
The age gap between Lin Yuan and Tang Yuehua wasn't just large—it practically spanned generations.
So Qian Renxue simply couldn't understand Lin Yuan's strange preferences.
But for Lin Yuan, what did age difference matter?
He only cared whether the other person was good-looking, whether her figure was attractive enough, and whether her temperament was unique enough.
Just like the High Priestess Bo Saixi on Sea God Island. Her true age was even greater than Tang Yuehua's—practically at the level of an ancestor.
But that didn't stop her from being unbelievably beautiful!
And she even had that extremely rare, stunning white hair, a noble and untouchable aura, and a breathtakingly full figure.
Faced with such top-tier beauty, what man would still care about her age?
As long as she was good-looking and soft, that was enough!
As Lin Yuan and Qian Renxue's footsteps gradually faded, the large, elegant room returned to silence.
Tang Yuehua slumped into a rosewood chair, her previously dignified and graceful face now pale.
Her chest rose and fell violently, her inner turmoil like a raging storm, her expression constantly shifting.
Before her lay a dilemma comparable to a matter of life and death.
Should she stand on Tang Hao's side?
Or compromise and stand with Lin Yuan?
This was an extremely critical question.
If she chose Tang Hao, would the guaranteed rewards she obtained from the diary system be immediately revoked or even disappear?
Tang Yuehua was not foolish. On the contrary, as the master of Moon Pavilion, her mind was extremely sharp and perceptive.
From Lin Yuan's behavior and the contents of the diary so far, it seemed he did not know she had already obtained a diary copy.
But that did not mean she could act recklessly.
She couldn't help but think deeply. What was the purpose of this mysterious system distributing diary copies to women of specific identities?
In fact, anyone with a bit of life experience, if they calmed down and thought carefully, could more or less guess some of the truth.
Combining the bold and unrestrained words in Lin Yuan's diary, as well as his evaluations of various beauties,
Tang Yuehua estimated that the system was most likely trying to help Lin Yuan build and cultivate his harem more smoothly.
The system didn't use force to compel them to do anything.
Instead, it subtly increased their favorability toward Lin Yuan through various irresistible benefits.
This was the most brilliant kind of open scheme. It was the conclusion Tang Yuehua had reached after days of reflection.
And most critically, within those irreversible diary rules, one clause was clearly written.
All diary holders were absolutely forbidden from harming Lin Yuan in any form or by any means.
If she chose Tang Hao now, and Tang Hao was clearly a potential enemy of Lin Yuan, then she would be indirectly harming Lin Yuan.
Once she crossed that line, she would inevitably face severe punishment from the system.
She would be mercilessly stripped of her binding qualification and permanently lose the diary copy!
Even worse, she would lose all memories related to the diary and might even have her hard-earned cultivation improvements taken back!
At this thought, Tang Yuehua felt a chill run through her entire body.
She had been trapped at rank 9 soul power for decades, suffering countless hidden ridicule.
Now that a miracle had finally arrived, allowing her to cultivate like a normal soul master, was she really going to abandon this hard-won hope for the sake of a vague, even morally questionable attachment?
She was truly unwilling, ten thousand times unwilling!
But recalling Lin Yuan's aggressive gaze and words just now,
It was their first proper meeting today, yet he had already made such blatant, body-related implications.
This made her, a noblewoman who had always held herself in high regard, feel deeply humiliated, leaving her unable to decide.
After a long while, a long sigh echoed through the empty room.
"Forget it. There's no use thinking about this now. I can't make a rational judgment."
Tang Yuehua thought to herself. Now that her cultivation had reached rank 10, her priority was to obtain a soul ring.
She decided to return to the Clear Sky Sect first.
On one hand, she could check whether Tang Hao had returned after being injured. Secondly, it was for her own cultivation.
No matter what, she would first have the sect elders hunt the most suitable soul beast for her as her first soul ring.
