"Our incense in our hearts is basically , but just now, when your hand approached me..." Yuan Buyu blew a breath at the incense, and the white smoke skewed.
"The azure smoke from my heart’s incense is slanted ."
"Does that have any bad effects on you?"
"No bad effects," Yuan Buyu said.
"No bad effects at all, and yet you still treat it seriously."
"Because you haven’t properly mastered the Sukuna Hand, the effects caused are limited, but since it can affect the heart’s incense, I’m afraid the horror of this hand might exceed our imagination..." Yuan Buyu said with conviction.
Zhou Lingyi also said, "No matter what happens with this hand in the future, brother, you must be careful these next few days. Don’t rush to support or touch anyone with this hand, or else, I really fear it might hurt someone."
Zhou Lingyi then changed the topic and said, "I found out that Human Turtle wants to get something from you, something that will only appear if you die... Can you guess what it is?"
"Something? I can’t guess. All my belongings are in this room."
"Then, do you feel that there’s something in this room that has a kind of mysterious effect?"
Zhou Lingyi guided Zhou Xuan to think.
Zhou Xuan replied without any idea, "I can’t figure it out. Where did this thing come from?"
"It was previously obtained under the guidance of Human Turtle," Zhou Lingyi added.
"Human Turtle tempted his soul, just to make him die and let his belongings appear."
Now that Zhou Lingyi and Zhou Xuan had pierced the metaphorical window paper between them, there was no need to keep hiding or teasing.
Yuan Buyu wasn’t an outsider either; there was nothing they couldn’t talk about.
"Oh, then I’ll check the diary."
Zhou Xuan turned his attention to the original owner’s diary to see if there was anything written.
He was about to get up when he noticed Zhou Lingyi’s eyes sharpen.
"My brother never writes a diary," Zhou Lingyi said.
"That can’t be, I saw quite a lot written."
Zhou Xuan walked over to the desk, picked up the diary, and handed it to his sister, "Look, this book contains some of his vile doings, including a past romance with a movie actress..."
Zhou Lingyi shook her head and said, "First, my brother doesn’t have a habit of dating, he has no patience for women, spending money, and sleeping with them are all he’s keen on,
Second, what book do you have in your hands?!"
In Zhou Lingyi’s eyes, Zhou Xuan was holding nothing but air,
However, in Zhou Xuan’s eyes, he clearly was holding a diary.
"I can’t see it with my eyes," Yuan Buyu said from the side, "but I seem to be able to sense something in your hand."
The three of them understood.
The thing Human Turtle wanted was this diary.
"Why would so many people vie for a diary filled with accounts of an Evil Young Master’s romantic adventures?"
Zhou Xuan picked up the book, flipping through to find the secret.
He remembered that he hadn’t finished reading half of the diary; perhaps there were hidden secrets in the latter pages?
He flipped through quickly, only to discover... the entire diary was blank!
From the first page to the last, it was all blank!
"Where are the words? There were so many written."
Zhou Xuan had trouble believing his own eyes, he flipped through the diary again and again.
"There are no words, and that’s correct, my brother really never wrote a diary."
Zhou Xuan tucked the diary into his chest, pondering, since it wasn’t written by the original owner, then, who could’ve written it?
"Perhaps, the diary wrote itself."
A thought occurred to Zhou Xuan.
"It’s possible, the diary is what Human Turtle has been seeking, Li Jintang mentioned that with this item, Human Turtle could stop living a life of hiding,
Indeed, this diary must have its unique uses since Human Turtle has coveted it for years, but... what exactly those are, no one knows yet!"
Late at night, Zhou Lingyi and Yuan Buyu had already retired to their rooms,
Zhou Xuan sat alone at the desk, scribbling and drawing in the diary.
Strangely, no matter what he wrote, whether a poem or a few lines of prose,
The writings would slowly disappear within about ten minutes.
"What use is this diary exactly?"
He put down his pen, lifted the diary up to the light, but still couldn’t discern any secrets.
"Every week, one can consult the Blood Well Divination once; it’s almost time for this week, Blood Well knows everything, I can ask it."
But he wasn’t eager to use this opportunity for Divination on the diary.
After all, finding the chance for the second incense seemed more important than the diary.
The purpose of the diary always had time to be explored,
but if the opportunity for the second incense were missed, once the heart incense extinguishes, it would be...
"I’ll try to figure out the diary’s functions by myself for the next few days, what if I figure it out."
Lights out, fast asleep,
Zhou Xuan lay in bed, his mind entering the Divine Revelation Secret Realm to meditate.
The deep night made it easier to clear his mind.
The gentle ripples of water quickly put Zhou Xuan in the right meditative state, making his meditation profound.
He connected again to the woman’s laughter.
"Haha... Ha... Hahaha."
The woman’s smile, still sincere.
Zhou Xuan listened intently, aside from the woman’s laughter, he also heard a series of high-pitched, yet very faint utterances.
Zhou Xuan strained to listen, but could still hardly make out most of the talk, only catching a few words.
But he could discern a sense of festive and bustling atmosphere,
As Zhou Xuan listened more, the woman’s laughter, along with those unclear utterances, all gradually vanished.
