202: I was bursting with inspiration! I had just started writing when someone knocked on the door!

"Ahem, Elders, I just remembered that I gained some insights during my travels and need to enter seclusion immediately to consolidate them. I'll take my leave now."

Su Chen casually used the versatile excuse of "seclusion."

Without waiting for those old men, whose gazes were hot enough to set him on fire, to react, he immediately executed his movement technique, transforming into a streak of light and fleeing toward Divine Son Peak without looking back.

Run!

He had to run right now!

He didn't even forget to grab Ling Qingzhu and Liu Ruyan, who were still standing there looking a bit lost due to the Su Family's bizarre atmosphere, and take them with him.

"Safe travels, His Highness the Divine Son!"

"Your Highness, please 'consolidate' well. If you need anything, just give the word!"

Behind him came the enthusiastic shouts of Su Qi and the others, making his scalp tingle.

Su Chen's speed increased even more; he was practically fleeing in a panic... Divine Son Peak.

After Su Chen brought the group back to Divine Son Peak, he wasn't even in the mood to enjoy the scenery.

He pointed to the two independent courtyards next to his main courtyard—both equally luxurious and equipped with top-tier Spirit Gathering Formations—and issued a brief eviction notice:

"Qingzhu, you stay in the one on the left."

"Liu Ruyan, you stay in the one on the right."

"If there's nothing important, don't bother me."

After saying that, he impatiently rushed into his main courtyard, closing the heavy gate with a "thud."

Ling Qingzhu looked at the closed gate and then at her own "Listening Snow Court," an imperceptible blush appearing on her cold face.

[He... he placed me in the spot closest to him.]

[I knew he was always caring about me in his heart.]

On the other side, Liu Ruyan sized up the courtyard named "Moon-Grasping Pavilion" with great interest, a playful smile curling at the corners of her mouth.

[Listening Snow, Moon-Grasping...]

[This Little Man is quite good at arranging things.]

[But, you want to keep me locked in this courtyard? Giggles, we'll have to see if you have the ability.]

Swaying her hips with enchanting grace, she walked into the Moon-Grasping Pavilion, already plotting how to "visit" her new neighbor tonight... Divine Son Peak, inside the main courtyard bedroom.

Su Chen locked the door behind him.

Then, with practiced ease, he pinched hand seals and set up eighteen layers of top-tier soundproofing, defensive, and concealment barriers around the room in one go.

Only after doing all this did he feel completely isolated from that noisy world.

His whole body went limp like a pile of mud without bones as he threw himself heavily onto the long-lost Thousand-year Spirit Silkworm Silk bed.

Thump!

The cloud-like softness completely swallowed him up.

He let out a long, satisfied groan, feeling his nerves, which had been tense the whole way, finally relax completely.

He was back to life.

He was finally back to life!

[Safe! Finally fucking safe!]

[Those old guys are scarier than the demon cult enchantress! Every single one of them is like a death omen, their eyes looking like they want to eat me alive!]

[And those two women, one Ice Block Face and one vixen. Staying by their side, I feel like my social energy bar is being drained every second. My HP is almost at zero!]

Su Chen rolled around on the bed like a fish thrown back into the water, venting all the stress he had accumulated throughout the journey.

But soon, he bounced up from the bed.

An unprecedentedly brilliant light erupted in his eyes.

Now was not the time to rest!

Inspiration!

Inspiration was burning!

Endless inspiration was surging frantically in his mind, like a volcano about to erupt!

From the "Blockbuster Drama" of the Yellow Springs Secret Realm to the "Hellish Start" of bringing two Fiancées home.

From the "Center of Attention" at Ten Thousand Bones Plaza to Su Qi's shocking "Thigh Attachment" at the Su Family gate.

And then to those Elders' insane "Divine Son Procreation Plan."

Plus that brilliant "Gaze Duel" between Ling Qingzhu and Liu Ruyan on the flying ship.

Every scene, every detail, was top-tier material!

[No! I must! Right now! Write them all down!]

[Today's diary entry will definitely become a masterpiece for the ages! The System rewards will surely be explosive!]

Su Chen was so excited his whole body was trembling.

He lunged toward the desk like a hungry tiger and solemnly took out the gorgeously covered beast-hide diary and the runic pen from his Storage Ring.

He even lit a burner of "Heart-Calming Incense" to help focus his mind, creating a perfect creative environment for himself.

This was a sacred ritual for a creator!

He took a deep breath, calmed his excited heart, and infused the runic pen with spiritual power, preparing to write furiously and pour all his observations from these past days and his crazy complaints about those eccentric people onto the paper.

[Year X, Month X, Day X. Weather: Sunny, but my mood is comparable to a roller coaster.]

He had just written the first line.

Knock, knock.

A very faint yet incomparably clear knocking sound abruptly rang out.

The sound wasn't loud.

Yet it was like an invisible hammer of judgment, slamming hard against Su Chen's most sensitive nerve.

Su Chen's movements froze.

The tip of the runic pen, about to touch the paper, hovered in mid-air, trembling slightly.

His brow instantly twisted into a tight knot.

[Who is it?!]

[Didn't I say I was entering seclusion and wouldn't see anyone? Which deity is so blind they dare to come and bother me?]

[Is it Spring Flower or Autumn Moon? No, they know my rules. Unless it's something massive, they'd never dare disturb me while I'm creating. That's no different from murdering their husband!]

[Could it be that old man Su Qi coming to nag me again?]

Just as he was hesitating whether to play dead and pretend he didn't hear it...

Knock, knock.

The knocking sounded again.

This time it was heavier than before, and more... persistent.

Su Chen's temples throbbed wildly.

He knew he couldn't hide from this today.

He took a deep breath, put on a look of laziness and displeasure at having his sleep disturbed, and stood up to stride over.

He wanted the person outside to know that Divine Son Peak was Su Chen's salted fish Holy Land!

Everything here had to follow his rules!

Nobody was going to stop him from writing his diary!
