"Eh?"
"Sister Zhuzi, you're awake?"
Seeing Xia Muzhu appear, Lin Yu scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed that he and Xia Yueshan had woken her up.
After speaking to Xia Muzhu, Lin Yu turned around and poked Xia Yueshan's forehead with his index and middle fingers, smoothly shifting the blame onto him.
"It's all your fault!"
"What were you yelling blindly for?"
"You woke your sister up."
Xia Yueshan obviously refused to take the blame and argued back:
"What does this have to do with me?"
"Isn't it because you sneaked in late at night without turning on the lights?"
"Who wouldn't think a thief had broken in under those circumstances?"
"Who didn't turn on the lights?"
Lin Yu glared and said loudly:
"I turned on the lights as soon as I came in!"
"I didn't see them."
Xia Yueshan shook his head and rolled his eyes, looking infuriatingly smug.
"Get lost, get lost, get lost."
Not wanting to tangle with Xia Yueshan anymore on a topic with no clear winner, Lin Yu directly shifted his line of attack:
"Besides, what time is it?"
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Are you going to school tomorrow or not?"
"What are you doing in your room not sleeping this late at night?"
"Staying up every night and sleeping all day."
"Will you even have the energy to pay attention in class tomorrow?"
"Let's see how many points you get on your finals."
"If your score is low,"
"You won't be going anywhere but tutoring classes this summer vacation!"
Lin Yu's barrage of attacks hit right at Xia Yueshan's weak spots, forcing him to retreat again and again.
Especially upon hearing the dreadful mention of tutoring classes, his eyes widened in panic, and he hurriedly countered:
"You wouldn't dare."
"If you dare take away my free summer life,"
"I'll tell my sister to never speak to you again!"
Hearing Xia Yueshan's threat, Lin Yu disdainfully curled up one corner of his mouth into an arrogant smirk.
He turned sideways, reached out, and wrapped his arm around Xia Muzhu's soft waist through her silky pajamas. With a slight pull, Lin Yu drew Xia Muzhu directly into his arms.
Feeling the full and soft body pressed closely against his own, Lin Yu looked at Xia Yueshan and asked dismissively:
"Let's see if your sister listens to you."
Xia Muzhu had been standing to the side, smiling as she watched the two bicker. Suddenly pulled into the battlefield by Lin Yu and made the deciding factor of this fight, she was a bit surprised.
Being stared at by both of them over such a nonsensical matter made Xia Muzhu want to laugh.
Especially when she saw Xia Yueshan's somewhat serious little face, Xia Muzhu couldn't hold it back anymore.
She didn't say much.
She just did what she usually did when she felt shy but couldn't help smiling—subconsciously hiding her face against Lin Yu's chest.
KO!
Lin Yu won the match, the arrogant smirk on his face becoming even more punchable.
The loser, Xia Yueshan, had a dark look on his little face, clearly displeased.
"Alright."
"Hurry up and go back to sleep."
"You still have school tomorrow."
Wearing a victor's arrogant smile, Lin Yu waved his hand, dismissing Xia Yueshan.
Xia Yueshan rolled his eyes at the two of them, looking as if he couldn't stand the sickeningly sweet stench of their romance.
Just as he turned around, intending to head back to his bedroom.
Behind him, a sharp gleam suddenly flashed in Lin Yu's eyes.
"Monkey Steals the Peach!"
Lin Yu was well-versed in the principle that all warfare is based on deception.
He didn't yell out the name of his move before striking, like Xia Yueshan would.
Instead, he waited until he had already bent down and his arm was more than halfway extended before belatedly calling out the attack.
In such a short amount of time, the completely off-guard Xia Yueshan couldn't put up any effective defense at all.
He was shamefully struck in the vitals by Lin Yu.
After succeeding, Lin Yu didn't say a word. The arm holding Xia Muzhu tightened and lifted, directly picking her up.
"Ah!"
Xia Muzhu let out a small gasp.
Startled, her calves subconsciously bent and tightened. Her white slippers fell off one by one, instantly exposing her two fair little feet to the air, her pretty toes curling up in surprise.
She looked incredibly cute.
However, Lin Yu was in no mood to observe this right now.
After picking up Xia Muzhu.
Without a word, he took off, carrying her into the bedroom in a few quick strides.
The moment he entered the bedroom, Lin Yu quickly turned around to shut the door.
Bang!
The bedroom door slammed shut.
Xia Yueshan, who was lunging over with bared fangs and claws to get revenge and win back his pride, was shut out by a hair's breadth.
Holding Xia Muzhu with one arm, Lin Yu pressed his body hard against the door, not forgetting to use his other hand to lock it.
"Hahahahahaha."
"Someone lost their peaches."
"Someone lost their peaches~"
Lin Yu wore the gloating face of a petty victor, mercilessly mocking Xia Yueshan outside the door.
Xia Yueshan was furious.
He tucked his arms and used his body weight to ram the door several times.
Realizing the door was completely locked, Xia Yueshan stopped his useless ramming. Instead, he exasperatedly shouted threats at the tightly shut door:
"Lin Yu, just you wait!"
"You'd better sleep with one eye open tonight."
"Don't let me find an opportunity!"
Inside the room.
Holding Xia Muzhu, Lin Yu didn't care at all about Xia Yueshan's impotent rage and threats. He even cheekily stuck out his tongue.
"Blehhhh~"
Xia Yueshan angrily kicked the door once more before storming off in a huff.
Hearing the footsteps outside fade away, the completely victorious Lin Yu subconsciously looked at Xia Muzhu beside him to see her reaction.
Xia Muzhu's eyes were filled with amusement, with only a superficial layer of light reproach, as if blaming Lin Yu for still loving to bully kids at his age.
Seeing Xia Muzhu happy.
Lin Yu was also happy.
As for the faint layer of feigned reproach in her eyes, Lin Yu just took it as her acting coquettishly.
And to be honest.
Xia Muzhu looking both amused and reproachful was incredibly charming.
Yeah.
Beautiful.
I love it!
In his good mood, Lin Yu bent down, scooped with both hands, and directly lifted Xia Muzhu up into a bridal carry.
"Ah."
Suddenly picked up by Lin Yu, Xia Muzhu let out a small gasp.
Lying in Lin Yu's arms, the amusement and reproach in her eyes gradually faded, transforming into a shy, half-welcoming blush.
Her gaze was sticky enough to ensnare a soul, yet she only dared to shyly lower her head, quietly and expectantly waiting for Lin Yu's next move.

Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it!

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!

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.”
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.
