Chapter 173: Diary – I’m Not That Kind of Person!!
“Here it comes, here it comes!”
“Come on, I can’t wait! Waiting for a diary has collapsed my Dao heart!”
“I refuse to believe that the Eternal Emperor wouldn’t do anything!”
“Hehehe, I think so too!”
“Fellow Daoists, it’s out! What a pity, after reading this I’m gonna have to wait another ten days. It’s torture!”
“Yeah, who set this ridiculous rule?”
The Nine States and the various celestial mansions’ cultivators were eagerly gathered together, just like three best buddies, to watch the diary.
It was a scene unlike any other, and tea houses, brothels, and inns everywhere were packed to the brim with people.
Amidst the attentiveness, words slowly appeared on the luminous screen…
Eternal Emperor’s diary, page sixty-four:
[Kekeke…]
[Dear Hall Master, you don’t want the Palace Master to find out you’re an undercover agent, right? Tsk tsk, truly moistening!]
[As I pinched the Punishment Hall Master’s face, I smiled and said, cough, doesn’t this situation feel a little familiar? It brought back a distant memory, truly delicious!]
[But!!]
[I’m not that kind of person, there’s a reason for this!]
[Firstly, I feel that in situations like this, I must play the role of a bad guy, even someone with some special quirks, a freak, far beyond the bad guys you ordinary folks are thinking of!]
[Because research by a certain emperor shows that in equal circumstances, bad guys create much greater psychological pressure!]”
[Exactly, what I’m doing is to apply more psychological pressure on her, to obtain more valuable intel!]
[I thought to myself…]
[I’m not planning to immediately take her to see Han Xingmian in the hopes of snagging some exclusive scoop. I’m still a bit wary of that she-devil. We currently have no shared interests.]
[Better safe than sorry; it’s wise to keep a hand hidden, you know what they say—“A prudent sailor never sets sail without a life jacket.”]
[Heh!]
[Once she’s in my hands, I must squeeze her dry before I let go.]
[The Punishment Hall Master seemed a bit flustered, looking as pale as a ghost. She clearly didn’t expect that after tying her up, I would flip the script, way beyond her expectations!]
[Thinking about it, her offers are tempting for any cultivator!]
[Whether it’s the ticket to the Celestial Court or the secret techniques of the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace, it’s more than enough to entice the vast majority of cultivators!]
[She even personally came into the fray, offering herself as bait. With such temptation, which cultivator could resist?]
[But alas, she underestimated me! Little did she know I’m a righteous person with high moral standards, not your typical lowbrow cultivator!]
[Thus, her attempt to win me over was destined to fail!]
[The Punishment Hall Master is truly a heroic woman, facing a huge change; she quickly regained her composure and angrily questioned me, what is the meaning of this?]
[She wanted to continue negotiating terms or maybe for me to release her first, but that was out of the question!]
[The Binding Celestial Rope is one of my main treasures. Rest assured, once wrapped tight, with her cultivation level, there’s no way she’s breaking free.]
[I must say, watching the Punishment Hall Master bound tightly and half-hanging, that voluptuous curve is a bit… tempting!]
[I let out a sinister laugh and took out my crafted treasure.]
[Cough, this is my finest refined Dragon Whip. Even an emperor would end up in a world of pain after a single lash.]
[The most important thing is that this treasure doesn’t just inflict physical pain; it can strike at the soul, which truly torments people, making it the perfect time to use it!]
[Punishment Hall Master: Are you really going to play it like this?]
[I turned serious and said darkly: Be honest, and you’ll be treated leniently; resist, and it’s severe! Just tell me who sent you, what’s your objective, do you have a Dao partner, do you have any preferred positions… spill it all, and I won’t make it too hard for you!]
[While I spoke, I tried to sound a bit more psychopathic, ensuring my intimidation factor stayed strong!]
[Cough, interrogation is necessary; I’m not that kind of person.]
[Punishment Hall Master: Pfft, you wish! She even tried to threaten me, saying that if anything happened to her, her backing wouldn’t let me off the hook.]
[To be honest, I kind of like this…]
[Next, it’s whip crack after whip crack—a real session! No way am I going easy on her!]
[Smack—]
[A series of bl**d marks seeped out, and soon she was beaten bloody; even the perfect full moon was sliced into two—quite shocking indeed.]
[What surprised me was how tough this woman was, despite facing a triple threat of physical, spiritual, and mental torture, she wouldn’t utter a single word!]
[I didn’t get any useful information.]
[I thought to myself, this can’t go on. Can she really endure? So I brought out another treasure—a candle.]
[Don’t get me wrong, it’s not an ordinary candle.]
[It’s a hallucinogenic candle I crafted using South Sea Dragon Whale Fat, Ten Thousand Leaves Bamboos, Soul-Losing Demonic Grass, Purple bl**d Heaven Flowers, and several other precious materials.]
[The candle has multiple effects, and if used appropriately, once lit, it can emit different colors and brightness based on the environment, creating the corresponding atmosphere and environment based on the user’s mindset…]
[It also releases a unique fragrant aroma that excites, delights, and drives one to ecstasy.]
[However!
[If overused, it can unintentionally lead a person into an illusion, resulting in confusion and dizziness.]
[And if the wax drips, it will bring immense pain, akin to burning flames scorching one’s soul.]
[The downside is it only works on those below the Great Ascension Period or on emperors with shaky Dao hearts.]
[No matter, let’s give it a try regardless.]
[Kekeke…]
[The Punishment Hall Master appeared more flustered, looking horrified at the treasures in my hands!]
[Justice’s interrogation begins anew!]
[Smack!]
[Ah—]
[Smack!
[Ah—heh—hey—]
[Cough, just listen to those sounds; they’re somewhat inappropriate; but please don’t get the wrong idea, this is serious interrogation!]
[Moreover, I’ve arranged soundproof formations in this palace, so no matter the noise, no one outside will hear.]
[No one is coming to save her!]
[Even if they did, I wouldn’t be scared; worst case scenario, I can just hand her over, and I’ve recorded everything with my recording stone.]
[Enough to prove my innocence!]
[But who would’ve thought as time passed, she still wouldn’t reveal a single scrap of information!]
[Terrifyingly…]
[I even sensed something was off; she transformed from panic to strangely content.]
[What does that mean? Unable to resist, so she’s just enjoying it, huh?]
[I pondered whether she had awakened some bizarre trait?]
[Let me study this further…]
[Alright, I didn’t realize I had written so much; for today, let’s pause here. I want to interrogate her a bit more before I get back to cultivating.]
[For now, I’ll keep her locked in the palace…]
[Let’s interrogate for another three months and see; I still have tons of other… more potent techniques. I refuse to believe she can withstand it!]
And that’s where this entry ends. Quite long, indeed, and it has revealed quite a few issues.
Azure Mystic Celestial Mansion.
“Ah—”
Shen Tu Lie finished reading the diary, teeth on edge, feeling like if he didn’t release the pent-up fire in his chest, it would explode.
This whole series of interrogations—who could endure this?
Too much bullying!
Junior Sister! You’ve suffered!
Reminder: If you think this book is good, avoid losing it next time by adding it to your shelf!
