A Diary of a Character in Battle Through the Heavens! The Female Characters Have Gone Wrong!

Chapter 173 This Fire Child is Perfect for Writing Storybooks

"What's going on with this woman?"

After obtaining the copy of the notes, Huo Zhi had already controlled her expression before she could even process the information within, but all of this could not be hidden from Chu Xiao.

He noticed the sudden raising of her hand and the look of confusion, surprise, shock, and realization that flashed in her eyes.

That feeling is like...
She suddenly obtained something and learned some secret from it.

"Could it be that she just obtained a copy of the notes?" A guess arose in Chu Xiao's mind.

As for the answer, he couldn't deduce it through the Heavenly Evolution Technique; his current strength was far from sufficient to deduce anything related to the notes.

But he can find the truth on his own.

"If she just received the notes," Chu Xiao thought, feeling he might be able to deduce the rules for distributing copies of the notes.

Does he need to mention the name in his notes?
However, people like Xiao Mei, Nalan Yanran, and Yaoyue Yaoye did not have copies of the notes.

So even if this guess is correct, it is only one of the conditions for obtaining a copy of the notes.

It may also involve luck, future achievements, influence on the Dou Qi Continent, and so on.

The specifics still need to be verified before we can know for sure.

It's possible she didn't just obtain the copy of the notes, otherwise it's hard to explain why she came to the Northwest Continent.

Those actions just now might have been an attempt to find him after his disappearance, and they might have even gained something from it.

With this thought in mind, Chu Xiao spoke up: "If you meant no harm, why did you attack me the moment you arrived?"

"You should be able to sense that I have no murderous intent or killing aura; I just want to trap you." Huo Zhi looked around, secretly amazed.

As expected of the Heavenly Emperor reborn, despite being just a minor Dou Wang, he possesses methods that even she cannot fathom.

Obtaining a copy of the notes is a more precious and serendipitous encounter than the chance to become an emperor.

We must firmly grasp this!

"Even if you speak eloquently, I won't put myself in danger." Chu Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, observing Huo Zhi through the small world: "You should first explain your purpose!"

“You have great talent, I have high hopes for you.” Huo Zhi got straight to the point: “I can arrange a protector for you to help you grow.”

Chu Xiao: ?
That sounds vaguely familiar.

Good heavens, isn't this Xiaoyun'er's script?

This woman isn't even acting anymore!?

I know I'm very talented. I became a four-star Dou Wang at eighteen; anyone with eyes can see that.

Women:?
[But with this talent, it's quite normal for Xiaoyun'er to want to invest in me, even though I had only just shown the cultivation of a Great Dou Master at that time, and was still a nobody in the Jia Ma Empire.]

Scorpion poop?

The women were stunned.

What does this mean?
"Brother Chu Xiao is saying strange things again." Xun'er smiled calmly, unsurprised.

[But even with this talent, it's nothing special compared to Huo Zhi. Within the Yan Clan, ordinary geniuses break through to the Dou Wang level before the age of twenty, the more outstanding ones break through to Dou Huang or Dou Zong, and the truly top-tier prodigies reach the Dou Zun level before the age of twenty-five, and the peak Dou Zun or even Dou Sheng before the age of forty.]

[Why would she think I'm a genius and want to invest in me? That's even more suspicious.]

"Isn't this just my excuse?"

Yun Yun, who was preparing items for her long-term seclusion, frowned slightly.

It's fine to learn from others, but it's important to adapt to the times and not learn haphazardly.

Instead of being reasonable, they are now being doubted.

Is this fire-breeding creature all strength and no wisdom?

The answer is obviously no.

Huo Zhi's expression remained unchanged. Seeing that Chu Xiao did not speak, she continued, "I come from the Yan Clan."

Revealing her identity could actually reduce Chu Xiao's suspicion of her.

"The Yan Clan?" Chu Xiao asked at just the right moment. "Never heard of them."

The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned beneath the fiery red veil.

Emperor Chu, you have no secrets from me.

"Then, do you know about the ancient clans?" Huo Zhi asked in return.

"Never heard of it either," Chu Xiao replied without hesitation.

"This 'Gu' is the 'Gu' in your childhood sweetheart Xiao Xun'er, oh no, the 'Gu' in Gu Xun'er." Huo Zhi smiled gently.

So that's how you're supposed to act!
I'll take this opportunity to probe how you came to the Northwest Continent.

With a thought, Chu Xiao arrived outside the small world and met Huo Zhiping's gaze.

Not sensing any spatial fluctuations or differences in soul power, Huo Zhi's eyes flashed with amazement.

Even if her aunt came in person, she probably wouldn't be able to subdue Chu Xiao.

"Do you know Xun'er?" Chu Xiao's tone became serious.

“She is the daughter of the ancient clan patriarch. My presence here is related to her and the Soul Clan.” Huo Zhi nodded slightly and stood barefoot in the air.

[Note: Huo Zhi said her appearance here is related to Xun'er and the Soul Clan, but this needs to be confirmed!] Xun'er: ?
That fiery brat certainly knows how to find excuses.

It's because they guessed they had a copy of the notes and weren't afraid of being exposed.

Or do you think that using this as an excuse will allow you to get closer to Brother Chu Xiao?

"If you have ulterior motives." Xun'er squeezed her hand, causing the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame to dissipate.

She won't hold back!
"The Soul Clan?" Chu Xiao deliberately frowned.

"You should know something about the forces behind the Soul Hall." Huo Zhi said with a smile, "After all, when I first arrived here, I saw you kill a Soul Hall protector and you seemed to have a very bad relationship with him."

Chu Xiao lowered his head and remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

After a long pause, he asked, "Could you please provide a detailed introduction to the Soul Clan, the Ancient Clan, and the Flame Clan?"

“Yes, all three clans are Dou Di families, and that’s all.” Huo Zhi explained patiently.

These were things Chu Xiao already knew, but she explained them to him very seriously, making it impossible for anyone to tell.

Chu Xiao listened patiently until the end, his expression turning somber: "I never imagined that my Xiao family had such a past, such a life-and-death feud with the Soul Clan. No wonder I feel such disgust whenever I see them."

"So Xun'er has such a powerful background. It seems I need to work harder."

“Therefore, you should accept my help even more.” Huo Zhi followed Chu Xiao’s words.

“Miss Huozhi.” Chu Xiao’s expression turned serious. “Thank you for telling me these things, although I don’t know if they are true.”

"But with your abilities, there's no need for you to fabricate these things to deceive me."

"But if you say you're from the Yan Clan, then why would you be interested in me?"

This is a very reasonable question.

But Fire Child was already prepared to answer.

"You have a different kind of fire, right?" Huo Zhi asked in return.

"Yes." Chu Xiao nodded.

"Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame?" Huo Zhi asked with certainty.

“That’s right.” Chu Xiao released the Yin-Yang Green Lotus Earth Core Flame.

"This is fate." Huo Zhi parted her lips slightly: "Years ago, Xiao Xuan, the ancestor of the Xiao clan, received a favor from my aunt."

Huo Zhi recounted how Huo Ling had helped Xiao Xuan and received a spatial bead in return.

“Gu Xun’er has returned to the Gu Clan, and I will visit her on behalf of the Yan Clan.”

"Before the Ancient Realm, I was ambushed by the Soul Clan, so I crushed the Space Bead."

"Because you have the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame within you, I have teleported to your vicinity."

"I happened to witness your methods and became curious, so I did some investigation."

"Unexpectedly, it was one of the direct descendants of the former Xiao clan."

【I see.】

Chu Xiao recorded what he heard in his notebook.

I don't know if I knew about this in my past life, because there's no information about it in my resurrected memories. I need to be careful.

Chu Xiao didn't know these things, but he could use the Heavenly Evolution Technique to confirm that Huo Zhi wasn't lying.

So all of this is true.

Girls:!
It's a pity that Huo Zhi doesn't write storybooks.

[But I do know of the existence of the Space Bead; Ancestor Xiao Xuan mentioned it to me briefly.]

So, it was my change that caused Xun'er to return to the ancient clan three years earlier, thus triggering this series of events.

[It's the butterfly effect again; Xun'er's theory is just too accurate.]

Girls: "."

Self-deception is the most fatal flaw.

Xun'er, however, frowned slightly, believing the contents of the notes.

"The Yan Clan did indeed say they would send someone to visit; it's the most outstanding woman among the younger generation."

"But a man arrived instead; it turned out the problem lay with the Soul Clan."

A cold glint flashed in Xun'er's eyes.

These bedbugs are truly despicable.

On the other side, Chu Xiao smiled faintly: "In that case, it explains why Xun'er grew up in the Xiao family."

“Miss Kekichi, even if what you’re saying is the truth.”

"But it's also strange that you want to befriend me and send me a protector."

"This is something even the ancient clans have never done. Do you think your judgment is superior to that of the ancient clans?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhi softly uttered two words: "That's right."

Chu Xiao: ?
