Chapter 181: The Diary, Black Silk, Custom-Made!
Shen Tu Lie confirmed that his junior sister was still alive! He hadn’t even had time to be happy when he heard Shen Wenshu mumbling beside him, “The Desolate Heaven Emperor is truly a peculiar person. Those interrogation methods? Just hearing about them makes it clear they’re not exactly standard techniques!”
“Ice Fire Cage? Isn’t that just stripping someone down and tossing them into a dual inferno of ice and fire for some extreme training? What a pity there’s no detailed record!”
Shen Tu Lie’s smile quickly vanished, his face darkening as he said, “Stop talking!”
Just thinking about it made his heart bleed. His hatred for the Desolate Heaven Emperor grew stronger; he couldn’t wait to find the guy for some good old-fashioned revenge!
Realizing he had gotten overly excited and overlooked Shen Tu Lie’s feelings, Shen Wenshu chuckled and fell silent.
Moments later, he couldn’t help but continue, “I’m becoming more and more interested in this black silk.”
“According to reports, it’s a kind of thigh-high stocking? Not only does it look pretty, but it’s also a speed-enhancing treasure!”
Shen Wenshu lamented, “I wonder what it feels like… If only I could get my hands on a pair to try!”
Shen Tu Lie shot him a glance, internally snickering, thinking, “Don’t think I don’t know about your little freaky preferences!”
But, cultivators are human too, and it’s understandable to form some peculiar habits during those long years. This doesn’t depend on their cultivation level. There are even rumors in the cultivation world that the higher one’s level, the more eccentricities one has. Such people have existed since ancient times, and many historical records mention them.
For example, some ancient texts describe an emperor who specifically sought out bizarre beasts as partners… like Heavenly Demon Tigers, Thundercloud Leopards, and Crimson Fire Serpents. This caused quite a stir throughout the cultivation world!
“Ahem—”
Shen Tu Lie took a deep breath, suppressing the flames of rage in his heart, and glanced at the diary, saying solemnly, “Based on this diary, the Desolate Heaven Emperor seems to have reached some sort of arrangement with the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace!”
“That’s certainly worth noting!”
Shen Wenshu thought for a moment and nodded, “Exactly, that female demon, Han Xingmian, shouldn’t be underestimated.”
——
At the Qiongying Celestial Mansion, Extreme Ice Celestial Palace.
Han Xingmian stood at the top of the pavilion, having finished reading the diary; she narrowed her eyes and smiled, a rosy hue emerging on her face.
She remembered that it was from that time onwards that her encounters with Lin Feng had increased, putting cracks in her once-icy heart.
“Black silk? Is that the suspender stockings?”
Han Xingmian’s face turned even redder; as a thought crossed her mind, a pair of gossamer suspender stockings appeared in her hand.
But they weren’t black; they were silver.
Crafted from an unknown material, they gleamed brightly, shimmering with a dazzling light.
Han Xingmian gazed at the stockings in her hand, gently caressing them. They were exceptionally soft and delicate—this was the first gift Lin Feng had given her.
He claimed they were custom-made just for her!
Suddenly!
A flash of inspiration struck, and she bit her lip, saying, “Ha! So he was messing with me!”
“He said I was like a celestial being, and then he had a eureka moment in his dreams, creating these unique stockings while asleep and expecting me to wear them… like an exhibition piece?”
She remembered that sly guy had wiggled his eyebrows when he said that!
As she recalled some unforgettable memories, she realized that the black silk had existed all along; it hadn’t been created just for her.
“I’ve made a note of this!”
“Just added another reason to punish you!”

Azure Prefecture, Southern Region.
Xuanqing Sect.
Yan Changkong led his disciples through the diary, finally feeling a sigh of relief.
Although those interrogation techniques sounded highly unorthodox… Fortunately, there was no detailed explanation which could have further led the Xuanqing Sect down the wrong path.
Yan Changkong noticed that the recent atmosphere among the disciples had gotten rather twisted, requiring strict supervision!
He shook his head, feeling regretful, “What a waste. I still don’t know what this black silk is. I can’t create it!”
“If I could mass-produce it, I’d definitely make a fortune!”
As he pondered this, he suddenly turned to the Grand Elder, Chen Xiu, standing nearby: “Grand Elder, with your vivid imagination, can you picture what this black silk could be?”
“Just think…”
“Long stockings, should be soft, beautiful, black, tightly hugging the thighs, enhancing speed!”
Grand Elder Chen Xiu seemed to be struck by inspiration, eyes lighting up as he replied, “Sect Master, now that you mention it, I do have a bit of an idea!”
“Wait, I’ll quickly sketch a rough design before I forget!”
The Grand Elder hurriedly started to draw.
Yan Changkong admired his back, thinking how lucky he was to partner with such a clever Grand Elder!
“Being able to collaborate with the Grand Elder is truly a stroke of luck for me!”

Meanwhile, in the Nine States and various celestial mansions, cultivators were debating the diary enthusiastically.
“Jie Jie Jie… Desolate Heaven Emperor, tired of torturing people? Let me have a turn! I’m young and vigorous; I’m not afraid of hard work!”
“How much force would be required to make the Desolate Heaven Emperor call it exhausting?”
“Ha-ha! Ice Fire Cage, A Sword Breaks the Sky, these are some thrilling techniques!”
“More about this black silk! What on earth is it that has the Emperor so fixated on?”
“It’s rumored that the Jade Pool Sacred Land has this treasure, but alas, we are fated to never see it.”
“I can’t wait to see what conditions the female demon will offer. Will the Eternal Emperor agree? All the answers lie in the next diary entry…”
Meanwhile, at the Jade Pool Sacred Land.
The Grand Elder Wei Yuan wore a peculiar expression, as if recalling an awkward encounter.
After a moment, he shook his head and smiled, “That black silk really got me into a mess!”
If Yuan Ruoyu hadn’t personally shown him what black silk was, he might have had a fit about it.
On the other side, in an extravagantly luxurious hall filled with middle-aged women of exceptional charm, everyone remained oblivious that they were the behind-the-scenes bosses of the infamous Brothel Drunken Spring Building, renowned throughout the Nine States.
This establishment was already the top chain brothel across the realm.
At the head of the table, a stunning woman, her figure accentuated by a lilac sheer gown revealing ample skin, slammed her palm on the table and exclaimed, “I believe we should…”
“Immediately instruct the main brothel to expedite research on launching new experience projects like the Ice Fire Cage, Water and Fire Purgatory, Azure Dragon Out to Sea, Celestial Maiden Scattering Flowers, and A Sword Breaks the Sky!”
Eventually, this decision was unanimously approved.
They now realized that whether their offerings matched the Emperor’s diary was utterly inconsequential; no one would investigate.
They just had to stay in sync with the diary…
As long as everyone kept their eyes on the diary, discussing it, they would continually attract those curious people to experience their project.
And from that, the Drunken Spring Building would profit handsomely.
Lin Feng, unbeknownst to the whirlwind he had caused, had brought a seismic shift to the Nine States brothels with his utterly serious interrogation record…
It truly is remarkable!
At that moment, the message array’s light flickered again, and the diary was set to continue its glorious reveal.
