Chapter 422 Ye Huli's Diary
The demon left the old men in a red building and continued his game of setting up a stall.
After setting up his stall several times, Yao Ling's tongue became increasingly nimble, and he could even recite rhymes.
Ye Nanxiao sat quietly behind the stall, his soul power concealing him from everyone's view.
While the demon spirit was trying to confuse him, he sat in the back studying the white book, a soul guide that he considered an antique.
After all, it is thousands of years away from the era of attack soul tools in later generations. It is more accurate to call it an ancient relic than an antique soul tool.
Ye Nanxiao had only seen some information about these antique soul tools in Shrek Academy's library, but most of it only recorded the names and simple functions of these antique soul tools, and there was no information at all about the deeper levels.
Many students and teachers at Shrek Academy enjoy studying these antique soul tools, and a senior professor who immigrated even led the establishment of an Antique Soul Tool Research Association.
A group of people were studying a pile of metal fragments corroded by time and soil.
Ye Nanxiao went to the so-called Antique Soul Tool Research Association with Qian Duoduo several times and took the initiative to learn some knowledge in this area. It was definitely not because the professor stuffed a bunch of rare metals into his hands.
After a brief encounter, Ye Nanxiao had many questions in his mind.
For example, why did the soul tool come into existence?
Historical records show that soul guides evolved from weapons and hidden weapons.
But how were the storage soul tools that appeared in Yuan Haisan's era manufactured?
That storage belt, which had been worn by generations of the Tang Clan, was exquisitely crafted, comparable even to the soul tools of the legendary era.
Shrek Academy studied the various mysteries for a long time and finally attributed the cause to a skill that was exquisite at the time but has been lost in later generations.
In response, Ye Nanxiao once attributed these lost skills to products similar to the fleeting Mayan civilization. After all, there are too many strange things in the Douluo Continent, and the types of martial spirits have not yet been fully categorized and counted.
After fiddling with it for a while, Ye Nanxiao understood how to use the book-like soul-guided device in his hand.
After entering the required answers, Ye Nanxiao closed the book, then opened it again, and said to the blank page, "Odd changes, even remains the same!"
Just as she finished bluffing—no, answering an old lady's question—the demon spirit turned around and saw Ye Nanxiao talking to a book.
"Signs indicate quadrants? What is this? Is it a secret technique?" The demon spirit immediately saw the answer displayed on the page.
"It is indeed a secret, but it is not a secret technique." Ye Nanxiao then demonstrated a few more sentences.
"Captain Levi is 1.5 meters tall? I remember 1.5 meters is a height measurement, right?" The demon spirit also became interested and stepped into Ye Nanxiao's concealed area to play with it.
"Books, books! Who is the most powerful king in the Starry Sky?" the demon spirit asked, rubbing his hands together with anticipation.
Six small dots appear in a circle on the page, and each dot flashes in sequence.
"Loading?" The demon tilted his head, not understanding what this meant.
"It means you're really narcissistic!" Ye Nanxiao closed the book and rolled his eyes at Yao Ling.
"Strategist, it seems you're not actually praising me!" The demon spirit said defiantly, blowing on a strand of hair that fell across her forehead.
"Alright, stop playing around. How's your practice progress these past few days?" Ye Nanxiao stuffed the white book into the demon's arms.
The demon carefully placed the white book into a hidden pocket in his robes, patted his chest, and said, "I've mastered it! Now I can tell at a glance what kind of woman the strategist likes!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao frowned slightly, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He had no intention of expecting the demon spirit to learn this!
Seeing Ye Nanxiao frown, the demon spirit knew he didn't believe her. She stretched out her left hand, pretended to do some calculations, and said, "I can tell at a glance! Strategist, you like women with broad minds and the ability to give orders!"
"?"
Before Ye Nanxiao could even complain about what Yao Ling had been chatting about with the aunties who were buying groceries these past few days, this guy struck him like a bolt of lightning.
"I can understand your broad-mindedness, after all, I've never hidden my feelings. But what's with this 'giving orders' nonsense? Studying is one thing, but don't misuse idioms!" Ye Nanxiao said helplessly.
The demon snorted twice and said confidently, "Giving orders means you, strategist, are very obedient! Just like how you're always the most proactive in completing whatever the lord says! The boss has been resentful for a long time!"
Seemingly realizing her meaning wasn't complete, the spirit glanced around and pointed to a spot, saying, "Just like that man!"
"What does it look like?" Ye Nanxiao looked in the direction the demon spirit was pointing.
A man, his body laden with bags and a half-eaten candied hawthorn skewer dangling from his mouth, followed behind a young woman with her hair styled in a bun, a bittersweet smile on his face.
Ye Nanxiao shifted his gaze, watching the young couple leave. He then placed a hand on the demon spirit's shoulder and said in an unfriendly tone, "Are you trying to say that I have low status in my family?"
"That's roughly the idea." The spirit's voice trailed off as it stepped into the shadows on the ground, preparing to make its escape.
A powerful surge of spiritual energy instantly transformed into a giant hand that gripped the demon spirit's waist.
"Yao Yao Zai! You have to remember this, I'm a man with the status of a family emperor! Understand? Family emperor!" Ye Nanxiao leaned close to Yao Ling and said with a smile, but the smile on his face did not convey any friendliness.
"I know!" the spirit nodded quickly.
"If you know, then get a beating! Kids who can't take a beating won't learn their lesson!" Ye Nanxiao clenched his right fist.
"wait!"
Ever since Ye Nanxiao became interested in white books, he has turned them into diaries.
"According to Ye Huli's self-created calendar, Friday."
It must have been Friday. Yao Yao was acting strangely today. Ever since she guessed my type, she went to the market and chatted with a bunch of middle-aged women, even asking around about families with unmarried girls. I beat her up before she calmed down.
Sunday.
Yao Yao's observational skills are now comparable to those of trained sect spies. She's achieved her goal in coming to this city; it's time to leave. However, those old men who caused trouble before have returned to cause trouble again, giving Yao Yao a valuable interrogation experience.
"Tuesday.
Although I don't know the name of this city, it's just one I'm passing through. What skill should I train Yao Yao in the next city? I heard there's a gambling-ridden city nearby, how about teaching Yao Yao to throw dice? A little entertainment now and then, I'm sure Gu Yue Na would agree, right?
"Thursday.
This city, supposedly a gambling capital, is full of cheating thieves! They're all cheaters, so why won't I bring a sack to trap them?!
"Saturday.
"No way, Ye Nanxiao! I came here specifically to teach Yao Yao Zai special skills! How could you start playing around first?! I never imagined winning rare metals would be so easy in this era!"
Sunday.
"We won! The sacks are filled with rare metals."
"Tuesday.
"We won. Sacks full of rare metals."
"Thursday.
Oh no! Gu Yuena sent a message! Yao Yao hasn't taught me anything yet! But I'm sure Yao Yao won't betray me, right?
Inside an inn, the demon spirit hung upside down with her legs hooked on the ceiling, arms crossed, watching Ye Nanxiao write in his "diary" to himself, and even mentioning her own name.
"Strategist? You've been staring at this book for days. It's not special except for recording your messages, is it?" The demon spirit didn't understand why Ye Nanxiao spent all his time looking at the spoils he had earned.
Ye Nanxiao turned to look at the demon spirit and explained with a smile, "In the human world, this thing is mostly kept as a memento. You can think of it as, when the day of parting comes, I'm leaving this diary behind. If you miss me, just ask this diary. Maybe the messages I've recorded will answer your questions!"
"It's just like the brocade pouches we left for Di Tian when we left."
Upon hearing Ye Nanxiao mention parting, the demon spirit leaped down and scurried to Ye Nanxiao's side, its eyes fixed on him, filled with sorrow.
"Will the strategist leave too? Why?!" The demon spirit's eyes were watery, like a golden retriever afraid of being abandoned.
Ye Nanxiao paused for a moment, then smiled and closed the diary, saying, "Yao Yao, I told you before, I'm not from this era. Di Tian already told you about my origins, right?"
The demon spirit shifted its gaze, then nodded.
Di Tian had told Ye Nanxiao about his origins long before the battle with Hypoplos, and instructed him to be wherever Ye Nanxiao was.
"Since I am not a person of this era, my departure and return are only a matter of time." Ye Nanxiao rubbed the cover of the diary, his gaze falling on a fox paw pattern on the cover, and the lonely figure of Gu Yuena appeared in his mind.
Having spent nearly a hundred years together, Ye Nanxiao had long since become accustomed to his time with Gu Yuena. He knew that the Silver Dragon King was actually an incredibly stubborn little girl at heart, who would bear her loneliness and solitude on her own and would never show any tendency to depend on others.
Therefore, after obtaining the white book, Ye Nanxiao conceived the idea of creating an answer directory for Gu Yuena to use to alleviate her loneliness in daily life.
As for whether the proud and stubborn Gu Yuena would confide in her diary, Ye Nanxiao didn't know, but he still prepared answers to many questions.
"Strategist, if you leave, will we ever meet again?" the demon asked in a muffled voice, his head bowed.
"Yes, I will recognize you then, you narcissistic guy!" Ye Nanxiao comforted the demon spirit as it suddenly became depressed.
Yes, if Ye Nanxiao sees the demon spirit again.
