In the restroom, Lin Yu had just finished taking care of his physiological needs.
Just as he was washing his hands at the sink, a figure darted in.
Lin Yu turned his head and saw that it was Xia Yueshan.
Lin Yu's heart tightened, almost stopping entirely.
Right now, for Lin Yu, seeing Xia Yueshan was pretty much like a mouse seeing a cat.
He was genuinely a little afraid of the guy!
After all, the kid was reckless. Lin Yu was truly afraid that he might hold a grudge over the Xia Muzhu situation and unexpectedly ambush him with a club when he wasn't looking.
But soon, Lin Yu's worries were mostly alleviated.
The reason was that, for some unknown reason, this kid Xia Yueshan had a flattering smile on his face. No matter how you looked at it, he didn't seem like he was here to seek revenge for his older sister; instead, he looked like he was asking for a favor.
"Is there something you need?"
Lin Yu calmed his emotions, but still asked with a bit of vigilance.
"Hehe."
Xia Yueshan gave a silly laugh, and the moment he opened his mouth, he almost made Lin Yu lose his composure.
"Bro."
"Teach me, please."
Lin Yu was deeply surprised by Xia Yueshan blurting out "Bro."
Normally speaking, this kid Xia Yueshan would only call him "Bro" so obediently when he needed to beg him for something.
But what puzzled Lin Yu even more was the second half of Xia Yueshan's sentence.
Teach him?
Teach him what?
"Teach you what?"
Lin Yu asked in confusion.
Xia Yueshan's expression suddenly became a bit bashful, as if he was very embarrassed.
After dawdling for a while, he scratched his cheek with his finger and hesitantly said:
"J-just teach me how I can be like you."
"Finding so many girlfriends..."
????????????
As Xia Yueshan's voice faded, Lin Yu's head was practically filled with question marks.
What did that mean?
You kid want to start a harem too?
"Teach my ass!"
Lin Yu was furious. He raised his hand, grabbed the kid's ear, and scolded angrily:
"If you ever meet a girl you like in the future."
"Remember to treat her well."
"Be loyal, stop thinking about all this nonsense!"
With his ear grabbed by Lin Yu, Xia Yueshan grimaced in pain.
But the shock on his face was clearly greater than the pain.
That look of unbelievable shock was as if he had seen the infamous corrupt eunuch Wei Zhongxian lecturing about patriotism.
How do you have the nerve to say such things?
Under Xia Yueshan's shocked gaze, Lin Yu quickly remembered his own current situation.
His hand suddenly went limp.
Lin Yu sighed softly, no longer having the face to lecture Xia Yueshan.
However, facing Xia Yueshan's thirsty and inquiring gaze, Lin Yu didn't hide anything and told him all the dating techniques he knew.
That is...
...
None.
"What?"
Xia Yueshan's eyes widened, revealing dissatisfaction in his large eyes.
With our bro relationship, you're still hiding things from me?
"Believe it or not."
Lin Yu shrugged and said helplessly:
"Your bro here was the one being chased in all these relationships."
Hearing Lin Yu's ridiculous bragging, Xia Yueshan's mouth twitched, and he instinctively wanted to laugh at him for being shameless.
But after a moment's thought, he realized something wasn't right.
Setting others aside for a moment.
Just talking about his own older sister, it seemed she really was the one who chased him!
Xia Yueshan's mouth stiffened, and he suddenly couldn't smile anymore.
Thinking more carefully, Xia Yueshan realized Tang Manman seemed to be the same.
During the years Lin Yu was with his sister, whenever Xia Yueshan secretly checked Lin Yu's phone, he would always see her sending countless unrequited messages without a single reply.
Xia Yueshan's face darkened, feeling a bit unhappy.
Thinking about it even further.
Judging from Qing Mo's various low-profile behaviors today.
It seemed this guy Lin Yu really wasn't lying to him.
Xia Yueshan's defenses broke.
Don't you always like to lie?
Why are you being so honest this time?
Doing it on purpose to embarrass me, huh?
As Xia Yueshan stood there with a dark face, Lin Yu reached out and patted his shoulder, speaking with a profound tone that somehow made people itch to punch him:
"So you should just honestly stick to pure love."
"Don't worship your bro."
"Bro has his own difficulties too."
Seeing Xia Yueshan's face as black as the bottom of a pot, Lin Yu withdrew his hand in satisfaction and left, going back to continue eating...
...
Summer hadn't arrived yet, but the temperature had already risen.
The sun hung high in the sky, madly radiating its intense heat.
The terrifying temperature baked the earth like a roasting pan.
Lin Yu hid under the shade of a leafy tree, already starting to regret going out today.
Damn it.
Why the hell was he blindly trying to be so motivated?
Rubbing his temples, Lin Yu felt a bit of a headache.
Ever since the fuse of Xia Yueshan's ticking bomb had been safely detonated, Lin Yu had welcomed a very fulfilling period of time.
After the showdown that day.
Xia Yueshan left with a sports car and a bank card with an unknown limit.
But who knew what he had told Xia Muzhu.
He actually successfully persuaded Xia Muzhu to give up managing him and stay here for a while longer.
The days after that were much simpler.
Every day, he just went to class, spent time with Tang Manman, and after class, spent time with Xia Muzhu, accompanying both of them at night.
Occasionally adding Qing Mo, this girl with erratic whereabouts.
Oh.
Right.
When Qing Mo arrived, she would automatically trigger a bond.
Sleeping together under one big blanket.
But with the existence of Tang Manman, this little traitor, dealing with them was almost too easy for Lin Yu!
But recently, strangely enough, all of them had things to busy themselves with!
Xia Muzhu's parents returned from abroad, so Xia Muzhu took a leave of absence for Xia Yueshan and planned to take him to stay with their parents for a while.
Tang Manman had some matters in the laboratory and needed to go out of town with her team to conduct experiments.
As for Qing Mo.
She was undoubtedly the busiest one; she was usually busy, and now she was even busier.
During this time, Lin Yu lived all alone. Waking up early every morning and seeing the empty side of the bed, he felt a bit unaccustomed to it!
Today was a day off, and Lin Yu originally thought about coming out to exercise, as he couldn't just rely on his past physical fitness.
He didn't expect the sun to be so intense!
It was truly killing him!
Moreover, for some reason, perhaps because the tide of busyness had receded, some things hidden beneath the mud began to stir.
Lin Yu always felt a vague sense of oppression in the unseen world.
His current life had clearly become as calm as an ancient well without ripples.
Then why did he still have such a feeling?
Frowning and rubbing his chin in deep thought for a long time, Lin Yu found the core of the problem.
Damn it!
It's you two!
Tao Yaoyao and Xu Mingyao!
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.”
rowess are unmatched, commanding a million-strong army! Yet, the Emperor wants to depose him for the sake of a false prince? Hold on, are you throwing me into some female-oriented romance plot? How can I tolerate this? With a grand wave of his hand—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! Slander the Emperor? Very well, all of you shall die! ... The False Prince: "Although I am not the biological son, Father and Mother love me more. The throne should be mine!" The Female Lead: "Qin Xiao, you are the Emperor, and I am a commoner. If you wish to marry me, you must abdicate. Otherwise, you will never have me!" The Empress: "After we divorce, you must give me half the empire!" The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart. For her sake, I willingly abandon the frontier defenses!" The Retired Emperor: "Although Yu'er was adopted, I prefer him. Qin Xiao, you should abdicate and let him become Emperor!" ... Very well! So this is how you want to play? Facing this twisted world of female-oriented tropes, Qin Xiao grins and raises his hand to unleash—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! I am the Emperor. Why would I bother reasoning with you? Seal the gates! Leave none alive!
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.
