The Villain Writes a Diary, and the Heroine Is Completely Broken

Chapter 10: Checking In at Qingxiu Peak! Huge Rewards! Lu Yun: Don’t Get Involved with These Idiots!:

The sect master announced, “The disciple-recruiting ceremony has officially ended. Each peak master, take your disciples back to cultivate well. In three months, there will be an internal competition.” With that, he disappeared, his exit as cool as ever.

Seeing this, the other peak masters also left with their newly accepted disciples. Ku Ya smiled at Ye Qingxian, wanting to greet her, but she didn’t even glance at him. Instead, she turned back to Lan Yurou.

“Rou’er, take him to find a place to stay.”

Lan Yurou bowed and replied, “Yes, Master.”

Ye Qingxian gave Lu Yun a meaningful look, then disappeared.

[Huh… finally, that idiot left!]

Ye Qingxian: “??”

Ye Qingxian, who had just arrived at the hall, was trembling with rage. “A**hole!”

[If I stay with her too long, my intelligence might drop!]

Ye Qingxian: “??”

[Oh no! I forgot, there are seven more brainless idiots here! Don’t get involved with them! Back off! Back off!]

Lan Yurou and the seven others: “??”

[My life is so miserable… I hope the place they give me later is far away from them. It would be perfect if they put me at Leiwu Peak. If not, I’m afraid I’ll turn into a full-blown idiot!]

The girls: “…”

Lan Yurou narrowed her eyes and smirked.

“You want to be far away? Dream on!” she thought. Since Qingxiu Peak never accepted male disciples, she had originally planned to arrange Lu Yun’s stay at the foot of the mountain, far from her and the other thirteen inner disciples who manage the peak. After all, Lu Yun had admitted to being a villain—who knew what shameless things he might do?

Still, since Lu Yun wanted to be far from them, she certainly couldn’t let that happen. After all, if he stayed on Qingxiu Peak, she could monitor his diary wherever he was and protect him too. But now, knowing what he thought of them, she would never grant him his wish. He called them idiots in his diary, so how could she let him live comfortably?

“Junior Brother, follow me.”

Without waiting for Lu Yun to respond, Lan Yurou gestured to six junior sisters and took off, flying to Qingxiu Peak with Lu Yun in tow, all while Chu Xuan looked on enviously.

In just a few breaths, they landed in front of a house that clearly hadn’t been lived in for some time.

Lan Yurou spoke first, “Junior Brother, the top of Qingxiu Peak is where Master cultivates in seclusion. Unless summoned by Master, you must never disturb her.”

[Don’t worry. I’m avoiding that idiot, why would I look for trouble?]

Ye Qingxian: “???”

Lu Yun smiled gently. “Please rest assured, Senior Sister. Junior Brother won’t wander around.”

Lan Yurou gave him a slight smile and continued, “I’m your Senior Sister. This is your Second Senior Sister, and this one is your Seventh Senior Sister. Master has only the eight of us, including you. The rest are inner disciples who manage the peak.”

“If there’s nothing else, we’ll let you rest.”

[Goodbye!]

The seven women: “…”

“Alright, Senior Sister,” Lu Yun responded, flashing a warm smile. Yet his diary continued to chatter on.

The seven women were left speechless.

“He really is a villain with a friendly face but a heart of stone.” They thought to themselves. But at the same time, they couldn’t help but glance at him again, their expressions shifting slightly.

Though Lu Yun was a villain, without him, they might have fallen into Chu Xuan’s clutches, ending up as brain-dead fools. He had saved them. And with his diary, they could also change their fates.

Thinking about this, their faces turned red. If they could alter their destinies and avoid future pitfalls, who wouldn’t be tempted?

Besides, Lu Yun wasn’t as bad as he seemed. Though he called himself a villain, all he really wanted was to follow the plot and go home. He wasn’t truly evil. His mouth, though… that was another story.

The more they thought about it, the redder their faces became, until Lu Yun gave them a suspicious look, as if wondering why they hadn’t left yet.

The seven women quickly snapped out of their thoughts. Since the other junior sisters were still around, they didn’t say much to Lu Yun.

“We’ll talk later.” They thought.

Once they returned, they would find a chance to communicate with him, ensuring that he would remember them and write about their futures in his diary—just like he had written about Master’s ‘glorious deeds’ at the disciple-taking ceremony. By following his ‘plot,’ they could change their fate.

Even though the contents of the diary were embarrassing, only by knowing the pitfalls in advance could they prepare for them. Anyway, only Master and they knew about the diary, and Master also had her own secrets exposed. In terms of embarrassment, it wasn’t clear who had suffered more.

As for Lu Yun disliking them and worrying about being infected with their stupidity?

Well, going against him might be fun, too. After all, he constantly insulted them in his diary!

Humph!

After thinking it through, the seven women unconsciously smiled. The third and fifth senior sisters almost burst out laughing. “Junior Brother, you rest well. We’re heading back.”

As they left, Lu Yun finally sighed in relief.

[Oh my God, I finally sent those stupid idiots away!]

The seven women: “…”

Lu Yun shook his head, feeling a bit more at ease. He looked at the dilapidated courtyard and the somewhat clean house, then walked inside without much hesitation.

The world of immortal cultivation was different from the mortal world. Most cultivators abandoned the influence of material possessions. So while the house wasn’t lacking, it was very simple. There was only a table, two chairs, and a bed in the bedroom. As basic as it could get.

“This is much worse than my home!” Lu Yun thought.

In the mortal world, he had been a typical rich second-generation. This was the first time he had seen such a poor place, but it didn’t matter. He was just here to follow the plot and could improve his situation later.

“Let’s check out my rewards! I can’t believe I got two rewards on the first day of the official plot!” Lu Yun exclaimed excitedly, and happily jumped onto the bed, opening his diary while lying back on the hard pillow.

[Congratulations on completing the second diary!]

[You have received: Divine Spiritual Liquid x3, Spirit Avoidance Pill x1, Mysterious Jade Treasure Scroll]

The Divine Spiritual Liquid had a simple function: it could help Lu Yun absorb and filter spiritual energy autonomously, with no side effects. It would also increase his absorption speed by ten times. This might not sound like much, but to put it in perspective:

Ordinary cultivators had a base absorption speed of 1. Ye Qingxian, with her special Tianxiang Physique, had a base speed of 5, so her cultivation speed was five times that of regular cultivators. Lu Yun, however, had the Innate Dao Saint Physique, making him naturally attuned to spiritual energy, with a base speed of 10—ten times faster than normal cultivators.

But with the Divine Spiritual Liquid, not only did he not have to actively absorb spiritual energy, but his speed would increase tenfold, giving him a total of 100 times the normal absorption rate. This meant he could lie down and rest while his body rapidly strengthened.

The Spirit Avoidance Pill was just as useful. Once taken, it would perfectly conceal his presence. No one would be able to sense him unless he wanted them to, and he could choose who could see what, based on their cultivation level. It was a must-have for anyone navigating the world of cultivation.

In Lu Yun’s mind, this was even better than the Divine Spiritual Liquid.

Lastly, the Jade Treasure Scroll was even simpler. It was the Mystic Jade Sect’s foundational technique. All the Mystic Jade Sect disciples practiced it, but there was one thing that puzzled him.

He took out the three scrolls from his spiritual space, each marked with the words “upper,” “middle,” and “lower.” He couldn’t understand why the technique was divided into three volumes.

“Never mind. If it’s in the diary, it must be good.” He thought.

A time traveler always knew that their golden finger was something special.

So, Lu Yun stopped thinking about it and took the Spirit Avoidance Pill first. He adjusted his physique to make it seem normal, set his talent to appear ordinary, and restricted his aura to be seen only by those at the Qi Refining Realm or lower. Then, he opened a bottle of Divine Spiritual Liquid and drank it.

Instantly, countless streams of spiritual energy surged toward him like birds returning to their nests, flooding into his body. At 100 times the normal absorption rate, a small tornado of energy formed above his head. The sensation of pure, filtered spiritual energy strengthening his body was overwhelming.

“Oh, man… This feels amazing…” Lu Yun murmured.

But then, suddenly, he paused. “Wait a minute…”

Though the sensation of spiritual energy refining his body was wonderful, and he had advanced to the first level of the Qi Refining Realm in just three minutes, he quickly noticed a problem.

His movements were attracting too much attention, especially the little whirlwind of spiritual energy spinning above his head! If this got out of hand and his master or senior sisters saw it, his secret would be exposed for sure.

But little did he know, at that very moment, Ye Qingxian, Lan Yurou, and the other seven were watching him, astonished, as he lay on his bed with his hands flailing at the whirlwind above his head.

[Oh no! What do I do about this whirlwind above my head? Help! Very urgent!]

The girls: ‘…’
