She let out another soft burp.
Tang Qinqin's stomach was full, but her eyes were still hungry.
She continued to linger beside her mother, leisurely helping out with chores and sneaking a few meatballs to eat from time to time.
Creak.
The sound of a door opening came from behind. Tang Qinqin turned her head and saw her older sister walking out of the inner room, looking as if she was about to head out.
"Sis, where are you going?"
Tang Qinqin quickly swallowed the chewed-up meatball in her mouth and asked.
"Lin Yu wants some beer, so I'm going to buy some for him,"
Tang Manman replied.
"Hey!"
"Wait a minute!"
Tang Qinqin put down the green pepper in her hand and eagerly trotted after her.
Catching up to her sister, she looked at her.
Her eyes, which bore some resemblance to Tang Manman's, sparkled as she whispered playfully,
"Bring me back a bag of jelly."
"Alright."
Tang Manman nodded and agreed with a smile.
"A big bag!"
Tang Qinqin pushed her luck, but Tang Manman still agreed with a gentle smile.
"Sure."
Seeing her sister agree, Tang Qinqin finally let her leave, turning back to the kitchen to continue sneaking food...
Ah, no!
To wash vegetables!
After washing the green peppers, Tang Qinqin casually glanced over and instantly fell into despair.
Why did Mom move the meatballs to the other side!
Tang Qinqin pouted. Just as she was figuring out how to continue her food thievery, the sound of the door opening rang out from behind her again.
Tang Qinqin looked back curiously and found that it was Lin Yu coming out this time.
Hmm.
He was the only one left in the house anyway.
"Is there anything I can help with?"
Lin Yu stood by the kitchen door, wearing a smile, and asked politely.
"No, no."
Mother Tang didn't want to trouble Lin Yu and repeatedly declined,
"The food will be ready in a bit, we can eat soon."
"Just go wait in the room."
"I should still help out."
Lin Yu said as he stepped into the kitchen and smiled,
"And steal some of your culinary secrets while I'm at it."
"Tang Manman often tells me how much she loves your cooking, Auntie."
"I thought to myself back then that if I ever got the chance, I definitely had to learn a few tricks from you."
"That way, when you aren't around Tang Manman in the future, I can still make her something delicious to satisfy her cravings."
Hearing Lin Yu say this, Mother Tang's expression instantly softened.
She turned to look at him, her eyes filled with an elder's affection for a junior, as well as gratification and emotion.
While no one was paying attention to her, Tang Qinqin secretly stuffed another meatball into her mouth.
At the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little touched.
Hmph.
This guy Lin Yu actually had a bit of a conscience.
It wasn't in vain that her sister liked him so much!
Since Lin Yu had put it that way, Mother Tang naturally wouldn't shoo him away anymore. Instead, she let him stay by her side and meticulously taught him cooking techniques.
This made things much easier for Tang Qinqin.
Because her mother's attention was entirely focused on cooking and teaching her future son-in-law.
Tang Qinqin could slack off blatantly.
She was so brazen that she even picked up the plate of meatballs directly and ate from it in her hands.
Just as Tang Qinqin was immersed in the deliciousness of the meatballs, she suddenly frowned, her slender fingers tightly gripping the plate.
???
What was going on?
Were her eyes playing tricks on her just now?
Tang Qinqin put down the plate, which didn't have many meatballs left, rubbed her eyes in confusion, and looked at the two of them again.
In front of the stove, the two were just as before.
Her mother was gently and patiently teaching Lin Yu how to cook, while Lin Yu stood aside, listening and learning earnestly.
The scene before her was so peaceful and quiet.
It made Tang Qinqin think for a moment that what she had just seen was a hallucination caused by a carb coma from eating too much...
...
Wait, that's not right!
She was eating pure meatballs!
What kind of carb coma could she possibly have!
Tang Qinqin instantly became alert.
She had just seen that damn punk Lin Yu suddenly lean back a bit when her mother wasn't looking, crane his neck, and look downward with a sneaky expression.
Her mother was wearing an old apron, and underneath it was just an ordinary V-neck loungewear shirt.
Although it was nowhere near revealing.
But due to the nature of a V-neck, there were indeed some areas that weren't strictly covered.
Perhaps afraid of being caught, Lin Yu's perverted peeping action lasted for less than a second before he returned to his normal appearance.
Tang Qinqin gritted her teeth.
Even though that scene just now was extremely brief, so brief it felt like an illusion.
It still put her on high alert.
She didn't make a sound, continuing to act invisible and doing what she was supposed to do.
But secretly, she began to pay close attention to Lin Yu's every move.
Not long after, Lin Yu suddenly turned his head to look left and right, pretending not to care in an extremely deliberate manner.
Seeing this, Tang Qinqin immediately looked away.
When Lin Yu stopped looking around, she began to secretly monitor him again.
Sure enough, a short while later, he actually repeated the same action as before, his expression even more perverted than the first time.
From the look of it, his eyeballs were practically about to fall in.
This time, Tang Qinqin saw it clearly. She couldn't tolerate it at all and immediately lost her temper.
Without caring about anything else, she strode over to Lin Yu and punched him in the chest with all her might.
"You!"
...
Tang Qinqin originally wanted to ask Lin Yu what he was looking at.
But remembering that her clueless mother was still right there, along with her poor sister who was wholeheartedly devoted to this smelly punk, Tang Qinqin instantly shut her mouth.
"What's wrong?"
Mother Tang was a bit confused, clearly looking as if she hadn't noticed anything.
However, after reacting, she naturally took the guest's side, glared at Tang Qinqin, and asked angrily,
"Why did you hit him?"
Tang Qinqin was filled with rage but couldn't spit out a single word.
Seeing Lin Yu hiding behind her mother, looking so guilty that he didn't even dare look at her, she felt even more furious.
"Lin Yu, get out here!"
Tang Qinqin held it in for a good while before finally deciding to talk to Lin Yu alone.
The two left the kitchen one after the other and went into the small courtyard.
As soon as they stepped outside, Tang Qinqin couldn't help but kick Lin Yu, followed by a flurry of wild punches raining down on him.
Lin Yu seemed to have a guilty conscience, or perhaps he felt ashamed. Either way, he didn't fight back, nor did he dodge. He just blocked a few times with his hands and let Tang Qinqin beat him up.
After venting the anger in her heart, Tang Qinqin widened her eyes, glared at Lin Yu, and threatened in a low voice,
"If you can't control your damn dog eyes,"
"I'll gouge them out and step on them like bubble wrap!"
Facing the furious Tang Qinqin, Lin Yu's gaze darted around, not daring to look at her.
Even his voice was unconsciously weak, practically having the word guilty written all over his face as he said,
"I don't know what you're talking about."
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks!

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on...
