After Lin Yu's "beating."
The dining table finally quieted down.
Mainly because Maomao had shut her mouth.
At this moment.
She weakly held her chopsticks, poking at the two shrimp in her plate.
The clean, neatly arranged shrimp had been stirred into several pieces.
Some people might appear to be at the dinner table, but their minds had wandered off long ago...
Lin Yu was eating happily.
Thoroughly enjoying the feast arranged by the three ladies.
His mere presence had already pushed Maomao to her limit.
With these kinds of twisted little problems, he could easily defeat her five more times.
Now that things had turned out this way, Lin Yu thought it wasn't bad at all.
Perhaps he could use Maomao's competitive spirit to find a way to bring her into the "sect"!
However, the fact that he was living with Xia Yiwei.
Would probably be impossible to hide much longer.
He could only trust in Maomao and Big Sister Xia Xiashan's integrity.
If they said they wouldn't investigate him, they wouldn't go back on their word.
Time was running out to recruit Maomao.
If not today, then when?
Lin Yu wasn't the only one who had something to say.
Ever since Maomao had been mercilessly struck down.
The dinner atmosphere had instantly turned cold.
Xia Xiashan, feeling sympathetic, picked up some food for Maomao.
She knew that Maomao's real purpose in inviting ZerO to dinner.
Was simply to win just once.
But there was something that Xia Xiashan noticed, which Maomao hadn't realized...
To truly compete, both parties need to be working on the same thing, seeking answers to the same question.
When one side sets the questions and the other just answers them.
Essentially.
It's more like Maomao was subconsciously challenging from a position of inferiority.
Xia Xiashan realized this point.
But she didn't dare tell Maomao directly.
Their parents had known each other since they were very young.
Emotionally, treating Maomao was no different from treating her own sister.
Raised as a "gifted girl" under the super-talent philosophy.
First place.
Was the most common label in her life.
Until someone branded her with second place...
This action had completely become her mental demon!
Actually.
To teach ZerO a lesson, it didn't need to be limited to "technical" aspects.
It could also be physical!
"ZerO, both you and Yiwei are quite young."
"I suggest you both shouldn't take this master-apprentice game too seriously."
"In our family, taking a master is a very serious matter, not something to joke about."
While Maomao couldn't regain her dignity for now.
Xia Xiashan still had important matters to attend to.
No matter what.
She couldn't just watch her sister recklessly take on a master.
Especially someone even younger than her!
"Hey, big sis, it's very rude to talk to my little master like that!"
"Why is your master-apprentice relationship legitimate."
"While ours is just playing around?"
Xia Yiwei pouted dissatisfied.
Xia Xiashan retorted arrogantly:
"If you're not satisfied with the master our parents chose for you, you can tell mom and dad honestly."
"Is there any need for such lies? Finding a hacker genius to pretend to be a martial arts master."
"I know exactly what you're planning, wanting ZerO to use his technical skills to forge some identity documents to fool everyone, right?"
Xia Yiwei mimicked her sister's crossed-arms pose and said defiantly:
"Big sis, you really don't understand my little master."
"Before coming to the International Hotel, I never knew he was a top hacker."
"Little master hid his identity very well, even though we've lived together for so long, I only recently discovered his secret of being a grand martial arts master."
"So... I quickly became his apprentice, and by the way, let him teach you a lesson!"
Xia Xiashan and Maomao looked at the master-apprentice pair in shock.
The explosive point in Xia Yiwei's words wasn't about being a grand martial arts master or becoming an apprentice.
But rather...
Living together!
And for a long time?
Lin Yu calmly drank his tea.
Well.
It was more natural coming from Xia Yiwei's mouth than if he had revealed it himself.
To achieve the time-limited task of bringing Maomao into the sect.
Their "living together" situation would have come to light sooner or later.
"Crack!"
The emotionally charged Xia Xiashan snapped her chopsticks in one grip.
She furiously asked: "Have you two slept together?"
Lin Yu almost spat out his tea: "Cough cough..."
He hurriedly explained:
"Sister Xiashan, we're just co-tenants."
"We live in the same apartment building, I'm on the third floor, Yiwei's on the first floor."
"Didn't you investigate her?"
"Didn't you know she lives in a shared apartment?"
Hearing this.
Xia Xiashan's expression softened considerably.
Indeed.
When her sister had moved out of home in a fit of anger, she had investigated secretly.
The facts matched exactly with what Lin Yu said.
Xia Yiwei was unimpressed by her sister's reaction.
She even retorted with a defiant tone:
"Xia Xiashan, do you need to control whether I sleep with my little master or not?"
"I'm your sister, not your daughter."
"I can sleep with whoever I want, wherever I want!"
After saying this.
Xia Yiwei felt that just verbal defiance wasn't enough.
She grabbed Lin Yu's hand and placed it on her leather shorts, moving it up and down, left and right.
Lin Yu: "???"
Wasn't there enough hatred already?
Was she determined to make Xia Xiashan want to kill him?
Ah.
What a headache.
Short leather shorts were nice though.
Could feel the thigh immediately.
Like a peeled boiled egg.
"Well well, Xia Yiwei, I know what you're thinking, you naughty girl."
"Master Z, since she asked you to beat me up."
"No time like the present, let's have a match in the parking lot?"
Xia Xiashan interrupted Lin Yu's exploratory mood.
As her sister wished, she challenged him.
Girls' world was truly mysterious.
Inviting someone to dinner, and in the middle of it, suddenly wanting to fight.
And not just any fight, but the "beat you until your mother won't recognize you" kind.
When Xia Yiwei asked for help with the lie.
Lin Yu had been mentally prepared.
Now that it was time for him to put in the work, he couldn't refuse.
Lin Yu: "Well, I..."
Just as he was about to agree.
Xia Yiwei cut in:
"Xia Xiashan, who do you think you're looking down on?"
"Want to deal with my little master in a parking lot?"
"I won't allow it!"
"It must be at the martial arts hall!"
"Let's set a time for tomorrow, bring your lackeys."
"My little master will make all of you lose your teeth!"
"Isn't that right, little master?"
Lin Yu: "..."
A snake's mouth and a wasp's tail are not as poisonous... this little venom woman!
Not satisfied with having him fight one person, she wanted him to challenge an entire martial arts hall?
Most importantly.
Lin Yu couldn't even object.

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!

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.
