However, looking at this painting, it seemed to have been around for a while and was probably an antique painting.
Upon this realization, Huo Tianzun couldn’t help but slightly narrow his eyes and then stepped forward.
But just as he was about to reach out and take the painting off the wall, his hand suddenly froze mid-air.
For he felt a resistance.
Clearly, that painting had been specially guarded by a unique defensive mechanism set up by the youngster Tianci!
With this thought, Huo Tianzun had no choice but to retract his hand and then went on to look at other things.
When he got to the books on the desk, Huo Tianzun quickly discovered that most of these materials were about Emperor Xia and contained many historical records that were no longer circulating—exclusive historical documents.
Seeing this, Huo Tianzun’s eyes darkened slightly, and he immediately began flipping through the materials rapidly.
"...In the third year of Taichu, the Emperor went hunting in autumn at Helan Hunting Ground and was delighted to capture a nine-tailed white fox..."
"...In the fourth year of Taichu, the nine-tailed white fox transformed into a stunningly beautiful woman in the Emperor’s embrace, named Qianxun. The Emperor favored her and loved her, never stepping foot into the harem again..."
"...In the ninth year of Taichu, rebellion broke out at the Southern Border. The Emperor led the expedition personally, but was ambushed by the barbarians of the Southern Border with poisonous gu. He was severely injured, and the accompanying Imperial Physicians were all helpless. At the critical moment, Favored Concubine Qianxun appeared, and the next day the Emperor woke up safely, but since then, Qianxun was nowhere to be found..."
"In the thirteenth year of Taichu, Xia launched its fiftieth great war, unifying the nomadic tribes..."
Having an eidetic memory and having been exposed to many complex and obscure knowledges from a young age, Huo Tianzun found reading these texts, recorded by a certain historian, not at all difficult.
After quickly flipping through this book, Huo Tianzun picked up another book with yellowed pages and began reading it.
"In the third year of Taichu, Mo Tianji came into this world beneath the Tian Mountain to practice in the mortal world, passing by the Imperial City of the Xia Dynasty with the talent to view the dynastic aura, yet he saw the true dragon emperor, Emperor Xia, protecting a nine-tailed white fox within his body. Mo Tianji thought that Emperor Xia was enchanted by the Nine-tailed Fox Demon and therefore decided to stay temporarily in the capital."
"...Mo Tianji eventually met the woman transformed from the nine-tailed white fox, embraced by Emperor Xia, whose every frown and smile could be described as captivating all beings. My master once said I would have a calamity of love, which Mo Tianji used to scoff at, but at that moment, I believed it..."
"In the ninth year of Taichu, Emperor Xia quelled the Southern Border rebellion, severely injured... Mo Tianji finally became despicable once..."
"...In the fourteenth year of Taichu, the Emperor gradually wasted away, Mo Tianji stroked the Hook Jade in his hand, but ultimately did not lift the seal, keeping her by his side in this way, I—do not regret it!"
At this point, Huo Tianzun almost couldn’t help but crush the pages in his hand!
As Baby had said, the person who harmed her, the person who schemed against his previous life, was indeed Mo Tianji.
After taking a deep breath, Huo Tianzun continued reading.
After finishing reading Mo Tianji’s own recorded diary, a cold smirk curled up on Huo Tianzun’s lips.
In your previous life, you couldn’t surpass me, and in this life, you won’t have a chance to surpass me either!
Baby will forever be his alone!
Whether it was Mo Tianji reincarnated or the person himself, this time, he, Huo Tianzun, was not afraid at all!
Bring one, and he’ll eliminate one! Bring two, and he’ll kill a pair!
Who’s afraid of whom!
After finishing the diary, Huo Tianzun then saw a brand-new diary.
Upon opening it, it seemed to be Huo Tianci’s journal; he hesitated for a moment but ultimately flipped it open.
Now he wasn’t concerned about privacy; figuring out the current Tianci’s thoughts was the most important.
However, it didn’t take long for rage to burst forth in Huo Tianzun’s eyes.
