Jiang Ningshu waited left and right, but still couldn't wait for Su Luo's diary update.
Restoring her cultivation was the most pressing matter for her right now.
If it weren't for the diary, Jiang Ningshu wouldn't have been so impatient, and she might have even started slacking off, because all the methods she had tried before were useless.
However, at this moment, someone arrived.
It was her best friend, Luo Xinlan.
"Ningshu, I'm here!" she said with a smile.
This was normal; she usually acted like this.
"Why are you here?"
"I came to see you. How have you been recently?"
"Ah, the same as always, no progress at all," Jiang Ningshu said, her mood low.
Luo Xinlan chatted casually for a bit longer, then got to the main point: "By the way, I heard you keep calling the Seven, what's that about?"
This was the real reason Luo Xinlan came; she also wanted to understand what Jiang Ningshu was up to.
No matter what Jiang Ningshu was planning, Luo Xinlan wanted to find an opportunity to sabotage it.
She did this not for anything else, but just to see Jiang Ningshu fail. That would make her the happiest.
Hearing Luo Xinlan ask this, Jiang Ningshu sighed internally. The reason she came here was probably clear now.
If it weren't for the diary, Jiang Ningshu might have trusted Luo Xinlan completely.
"I want to cultivate some people to work for me," Jiang Ningshu said, making up an excuse.
"Why? Doesn't the entire Heavenly Demon Sect already listen to you?"
"I want to cultivate those who will still follow me even after knowing I've lost my power."
Most of the Heavenly Demon Sect followed the demon lord because he was strong. If they knew the demon lord couldn't exert his power, who knows what they would think.
Especially the Heaven-Titled Heaven Demons; which of them isn't a genius?
"I see. Since it's your decision, I will support you," Luo Xinlan said sincerely.
"Thank you."
"There's no need to be polite with me. Just let me know if you need any help."
"Of course."
After chatting for a while longer, Luo Xinlan left, already planning what to do next.
Watching Luo Xinlan leave in the distance, Jiang Ningshu sighed internally.
They had really gone through a lot together.
Thinking about Luo Xinlan betraying her, Jiang Ningshu still felt a twinge of sadness.
But she had to be rational and absolutely not show any flaws.
After restoring her power, she would see if Luo Xinlan would repent.
But if she did, should she forgive her?
She didn't know.
At this moment, Jiang Ningshu felt extremely confused. Even her cultivation bottleneck didn't make her feel as lost as now.

After leaving the Heavenly Demon Palace, Luo Xinlan went directly to look for the Seven.
The nearest one was Su Luo, so she went straight over.
She arrived in front of Su Luo.
At this moment, Luo Xinlan was heavily made up, obviously overdoing it.
Originally, she was quite pretty, but compared to Jiang Ningshu, she was far behind. So to outshine Jiang Ningshu, she had to rely on external things, like amazing makeup skills.
However, her makeup skills weren't good; it looked better if she didn't wear makeup at all.
But Luo Xinlan liked her made-up appearance and felt she was far superior to Jiang Ningshu.
Previously, Luo Xinlan had asked others who was more beautiful between her and the demon lord.
The answers were consistent: the demon lord was more beautiful.
Luo Xinlan didn't show anything on the surface, but internally, she greatly disagreed. They said that just because they were afraid of the demon lord. Maybe they were already captivated by her.
"Do you know who I am?"
"No."
Su Luo replied. At this moment, Su Luo indeed didn't know who Luo Xinlan was.
"I'm Luo Xinlan, a friend of the demon lord since childhood."
As she spoke, Luo Xinlan displayed her power, intimidating Su Luo.
Early Spirit Formation stage—this was only possible because the demon lord had constantly provided her with resources.
"If I ever need your help in the future, you must prioritize helping me, no matter who I'm against. Do you understand? Here, take this and accept it gratefully."
Luo Xinlan spoke arrogantly, as if she didn't need to consider the feelings of these small Golden Core cultivators, even the Seven.
After all, she was a friend of the demon lord. How many people could genuinely be considered a friend of the demon lord?
Receiving a gift from her should be seen as a blessing.
After speaking, she left directly, assuming Su Luo had agreed.
There was no way Su Luo could refuse, she was that confident.
Stupid.
Su Luo shook his head; this was too brainless.
Wanting to have him work for her? Just based on these trinkets? What a joke.
As for why Luo Xinlan was doing this, Su Luo didn't even need to think to figure it out.
It was to compete with the demon lord. Seeing that the demon lord was preparing to cultivate the Seven, she wanted to steal them. She probably even thought about leading the Seven to betray the demon lord in the future.
The demon lord had gone to great lengths to cultivate the Seven, only for them to turn around and betray her. Luo Xinlan might have already imagined this plot unfolding.
She really didn't leave any room for Jiang Ningshu.
---
Some time later.
Su Luo originally thought that after Jiang Ningshu gained no results, she would stop.
However, unexpectedly, Jiang Ningshu kept summoning the Seven every few days.
This wasn't Jiang Ningshu's fault. Su Luo hadn't written in his diary for a long time, and Jiang Ningshu was almost breaking down.
Even though she had done so much, Su Luo showed no action. At least write in the diary.
This way, Jiang Ningshu could adjust based on the diary and think of better ways to make Su Luo write down the method to restore her power.
But now, after meeting several times, she hadn't received any feedback.
This made Jiang Ningshu uncertain about what to do next. But if she didn't continue, it wouldn't work, so she kept summoning the Seven every few days.
Su Luo realized this wasn't good. It felt like the Left Envoy might be getting murderous intentions.
If the demon lord kept summoning the Seven so frequently, it was hard to believe there was no purpose.
To prevent any accidents, the Left Envoy might take action.
This wasn't what Su Luo wanted to see, at least not at this stage, since Lin Xuan was still dealing with the Seven.
Su Luo opened his diary.
[The demon lord has been calling so frequently recently. This isn't good; I need to intervene.]
[How should I intervene? Directly threaten the demon lord?]
[That would be the most straightforward method, but it seems it could have a big impact on the later plot.]
[But it's actually fine. There are already quite a few people in the Heavenly Demon Sect who disrespect the demon lord. One more wouldn't make a difference.]
[After all, the demon lord will eventually betray. Threatening her would just be one more reason, and it could maintain the plot.]
[However, if it's not absolutely necessary, I really don't want to use the threat method. It would completely change my relationship with the demon lord.]
[The later plot is that I am loyal to the demon lord. If I threaten her, wouldn't that make me the one manipulating the demon lord behind the scenes?]
[Manipulation feels like it would make the demon lord betray even faster. To prevent the betrayal from happening too soon, I'd have to constantly consider the demon lord's emotions, which would make things more complicated. I don't want that; it's too troublesome.]
[Let's see. If the demon lord keeps calling, I'll have to intervene.]
[I really don't understand. The demon lord never called us the Seven before. Can't we just peacefully follow the plot?]
[Back to the main topic, Xu Wuliang has returned, and the next one to suffer will be Liao Duci.]
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack.

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
