Originally, Zhuqing was delighted when Luo Ye said that her Spirit had the potential to evolve as long as she absorbed a suitable spirit ring.
However, upon learning that this could only be achieved with Gu Yuena's help, Zhuqing's heart couldn't help but feel a bit complicated.
Ever since Luo Ye praised Gu Yuena as a capable helper in his diary, Zhuqing had regarded her as her biggest rival.
Even though Gu Yuena explicitly stated that she wouldn't develop romantic feelings for Luo Ye as she did in her previous life,
Zhuqing knew very well that when it came to matters of the heart, there was no logic to be found.
Even if Gu Yuena was making solemn promises now, there was no guarantee she wouldn't change her mind one day and naturally end up with Luo Ye.
At that point, Gu Yuena's claim to the position of the main wife would be practically set in stone.
Zhuqing wanted to seize this timing, to secure the position of the main wife before Gu Yuena changed her mind.
What she hadn't expected was that her conflict with Gu Yuena hadn't even officially begun, yet she already needed Gu Yuena's help to hunt for a spirit ring.
Zhuqing wanted to refuse; she didn't want to be unable to hold her head high in front of Gu Yuena in the future.
However, she also knew that if she couldn't transform her Spirit by absorbing a spirit ring, Luo Ye would likely still consider buying items to improve her talent from the Points Mall.
Wouldn't that be a waste of Luo Ye's hard-earned points?
Rather than having Luo Ye waste points on such things, Zhuqing hoped he would maximize the use of his points, allowing him to fully grow in the shortest possible time.
So, Zhuqing suppressed her emotions, smiled at Luo Ye, and nodded, saying,
"Alright, then I'll trouble you to come with me to hunt for a spirit ring."
Upon hearing this, Luo Ye agreed without hesitation.
"Leave it to me; I guarantee I'll find the most suitable spirit ring for you."
Gu Yuena, after seeing the new content in the diary, wasn't angry that Luo Ye wanted her to help Zhuqing hunt for a spirit ring.
As the co-lord of the Soul Beast Clan, the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena was not an unreasonable young girl; she clearly understood how difficult it was to completely change the fate of the Soul Beast Clan.
Helping Zhuqing hunt for a spirit ring now was merely a last resort; in the future, during the decisive battle against Tang San and the God Realm, they couldn't rely solely on herself and Luo Ye; they needed more assistance.
Under normal circumstances, a woman of ordinary talent like Zhuqing could provide some help when dealing with Tang San's group, but when it came to fighting the God Realm, they were simply not qualified to participate.
But now it was different.
With the mysterious diary copy, it meant Zhuqing, Qian Renxue, and others had infinite possibilities.
In the future, not to mention rivaling God Kings, at least reaching the God-level realm would be no problem.
It was precisely because of this that Gu Yuena felt no resistance about helping Zhuqing hunt Spirit Beasts.
To completely change the fate of the Soul Beast Clan, some sacrifices were only natural.
So, when Luo Ye approached Gu Yuena and stated his purpose, Gu Yuena readily agreed.
"No problem, let's take her to the Star Dou Great Forest now."
"As far as I know, there are still a few Dark Demonic Evil God Tigers in the Star Dou Great Forest, and one of them has a suitable cultivation age for Zhuqing to absorb."
"Since Zhuqing's Spirit is the Hell Civet, it is quite compatible with a top-tier Spirit Beast like the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger."
"The medicinal power of the Immortal Herb combined with the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's spirit ring will surely allow her Spirit to undergo a drastic transformation, just as you said."
Luo Ye thought about it upon hearing this, then gave Gu Yuena a thumbs-up in praise, saying,
"That's indeed excellent; the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger is very suitable for Zhuqing."
Both are felines, and both the Hell Civet and the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger have very close ties to darkness.
Most importantly, a top-tier Spirit like the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger is always a rare find.
Without Gu Yuena's help, it would be incredibly difficult for Luo Ye and Zhuqing to even find the whereabouts of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger with their own strength alone.
After reaching a consensus with Gu Yuena, Luo Ye wasted no time and immediately set off together for the Star Dou Great Forest.
It's worth mentioning that they specifically brought the Snow Empress along for this spirit hunting operation.
According to Luo Ye, it was to prevent accidents.
If they encountered an ill-intentioned Titled Douluo, their situation could be dangerous if Gu Yuena couldn't exert her full strength.
But with the Snow Empress's escort, no matter what kind of enemy they encountered, their safety would be absolutely guaranteed.
However, Luo Ye's suggestion, in the eyes of Gu Yuena and Zhuqing, seemed less than innocent.
Having read the contents of Luo Ye's diary, they were very aware that he also harbored deep feelings for the Snow Empress, having repeatedly expressed his intention to actively pursue her.
Bringing the Snow Empress along to the Star Dou Great Forest this time was likely an opportunity to spend more time with her.
Even the Snow Empress's mood became somewhat unusual because of this; she even dared not make eye contact with Luo Ye, fearing he might say something shocking in his diary.
The Snow Empress knew that Gu Yuena and Zhuqing were wary of her. Ever since Luo Ye expressed his thoughts about her in his diary, the other diary copy owners' gazes towards her had become very strange.
It was as if they were saying that they had to go to great lengths to get closer to Luo Ye.
Yet, for the Snow Empress, she didn't have to do anything, and Luo Ye would actively pursue her.
Gu Yuena, Zhuqing, and Qian Renxue were understandable.
After all, the three of them were the women Luo Ye truly recognized in his previous life.
But as confidantes from Luo Ye's previous life, why did the Snow Empress's status in Luo Ye's heart surpass theirs?
As the saying goes, 'one doesn't worry about scarcity but about uneven distribution,' which perfectly describes this situation.
To prevent Gu Yuena and Zhuqing from overthinking, the Snow Empress remained very silent and reserved throughout the journey to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Even when Luo Ye frequently tried to engage her in conversation, she would only give brief, perfunctory replies, as if completely uninterested in talking much with Luo Ye.
Facing this situation, Luo Ye naturally understood the reason. So, after subtly glancing at the Snow Empress, he immediately began to create a new story in his diary.
[My interactions with the Snow Empress are indeed exactly like they were at the very beginning of our previous life.]
[Back then, she was also like this, indifferent to me, showing no signs of closeness whatsoever.]
[But later, she became proactive, as if she had transformed into a different person.]
