After traveling over a thousand kilometers and a whole day of journey, with a full stomach, Lin Yu lay comfortably in bed.
The exhaustion accumulated throughout the day now seeped out from his very bones, flooding his blood, cells, bones, and gradually everything within his body.
Lin Yu's body chose to surrender to this fatigue, lying sprawled on the bed in a starfish shape, not even wanting to move a toe.
Contrary to this weary body was Lin Yu's lively mind.
Lying in his girlfriend's house, his girlfriend—with a great figure and beautiful looks—was less than fifty meters away.
Two months of restraint hadn't been easy, and now with the "delicacy" right before him, Lin Yu couldn't even stop his brain from thinking about those things.
Presumably, many people encounter this situation late at night.
The body is worn out, drained, eyes barely able to stay open.
Yet the brain is incredibly clear, without a hint of sleepiness, even wanting to play games for a while longer or scroll through short videos of beautiful women.
Every time this happens, the brain and the body start fighting.
And you, as the referee, must decide based on the desires of both sides whether to let the body put down the phone and rest, forcing the brain into slumber, or to act like a slave driver, demanding the body to continue slaving away for the brain's entertainment.
This is exactly what Lin Yu faced now: his body utterly exhausted, his brain wildly active, the two beginning to struggle, and Lin Yu already sitting high on the referee's seat, ready to watch the fight.
Brain: I want to get frisky.
Body: Agreed.
Lin Yu: ???
Lin Yu snapped back to reality. He looked down at the blanket covering him, where an abnormal bulge clearly expressed his body's intention.
Damn.
Lin Yu was somewhat speechless.
You surrendered that easily?
You're a mole planted by the brain, right?
Straightening his neck, letting the back of his head sink back into the soft pillow, in the darkness, Lin Yu stared wide-eyed at the ceiling. After a moment's hesitation, he took out his phone.
Things having come to this, there was no point in holding out any longer!
Frisky plan, activate!
With a light tap on the screen, Lin Yu opened the chat box with Xia Muzhu and sent her a message.
Long Aotian: I miss you...
Xia Muzhu wasn't asleep; her reply came quickly.
Bamboo Kitty: (Video call invitation)
Lin Yu hung up without a second thought, his fingers flying across the on-screen keyboard.
Long Aotian: I don't want a video call. Now that we're finally so close, I want to hold you...
Bamboo Kitty: ...
In the silent wait, Lin Yu's heart pounded with anticipation and nervousness, unsure whether he would sleep alone with unquenched desire tonight or get to embrace the beauty and relieve the pressure built up over more than two months.
After what felt like an eternity—though only a few minutes—Xia Muzhu's message finally arrived.
Bamboo Kitty: Wait for me.
Seeing the reply, Lin Yu excitedly flopped on the bed like a fish a couple of times, a smile spreading uncontrollably across his face.
The night was as quiet as still water, especially a winter night, where not even a single annoying insect chirp could be heard.
In this utter silence, Lin Yu heard light footsteps outside the door.
Then, the door lock clicked down with a crisp sound, the door was slowly pushed open, and Xia Muzhu walked into the room, stepping into a pool of clear moonlight.
Under the silvery moonlight, her eyes shimmered slightly, like flawless sapphire gems, complementing her sea-blue pajamas beautifully.
Moonlight flowed over her milky-white skin. Combined with the shyness in her eyes and the blush gracing her cheeks, it made Lin Yu's blood surge with restlessness. He almost couldn't resist pouncing on her right then and there.
However, limited by his physical condition, Lin Yu chose to lie obediently in bed, putting on an innocent, harmless appearance, waiting for the little white rabbit...
No!
The big white rabbit...
Ugh!
Waiting for Xia Muzhu to walk right into his trap!
Xia Muzhu seemed a bit nervous. She glanced shyly at Lin Yu, lowering her head bashfully as she started to walk towards him, but then her steps halted, as if she had suddenly remembered something.
She turned around, closed the door, and only then approached Lin Yu again. Reaching the bedside, she smoothly got into bed, nestling obediently beside Lin Yu.
Wrapping one arm around Xia Muzhu's slender waist, feeling the silky texture of her pajamas and the softness of her waist beneath, Lin Yu's heart pounded with excitement.
Dark night, high winds, no one around, a strong man and a beautiful woman sharing a bed, a fragrant, soft jade in his arms—in such a situation, if you could do nothing, you are this (・ω・)b. (Thumbs up)
But Lin Yu was this (・ω・)q. (Thumbs down)
Though it was only human nature.
Gradually, Lin Yu's hands began to wander. Xia Muzhu hardly resisted; in fact, she could be said to be more encouraging. The breath escaping her lips was even hotter and more rapid than Lin Yu's, clearly showing her anticipation was no less than his.
After some time, the preparatory stage ended, and they were about to move to the next stage.
But at this moment, Xia Muzhu adamantly refused to continue.
Lin Yu knew what she was worried about and whispered softly by her ear:
"It's okay, we'll be careful. Xia Yueshan won't hear."
Xia Muzhu's head still shook like a rattle drum, as she murmured something softly.
Lin Yu didn't catch it, so he leaned closer and asked quietly:
"What?"
"I... I..."
Xia Muzhu hesitated with her words, struggling for a good while before uttering a sentence as faint as a mosquito's hum:
"I... I can't control myself..."
"..."
Lin Yu sniffed. This was a bit tricky.
Moving to the main event seemed unrealistic, but ending things like this would probably leave Lin Yu in a state of painful frustration.
If that's the case...
Lin Yu's gaze naturally fell upon the most prominent feature on Xia Muzhu's body, aside from her eyes...
...

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
