[Ding!]
[During the forbidden zone exploration, you obtained and read the proxy sect leader’s private "Daily Life Journal"!]
[Reward: 200 sect contribution points, 400 spirit stones, 3 bottles of Hundred Flowers Dew.]
Listening to Chen Qimeng’s words,
Lin Yu couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild…
Hate her girlfriends?
Not a chance!
He was nothing but grateful, moved, and appreciative.
Lin Yu had been curious before.
What could possibly drive someone like Chen Qimeng—with her personality—to the point of divorce?
Now, the big mystery in his heart finally had an answer.
And what a pleasantly surprising answer it was!
Unable to contain his emotions, Lin Yu said:
"No wonder… no wonder you two never had children after marriage…"
"So your ex-husband was…"
Chen Qimeng replied with self-deprecation:
"If holding hands alone could lead to pregnancy, maybe we would’ve had a child."
"The only time we held hands was during the wedding ceremony."
"I saw with my own eyes how he kept washing his hands repeatedly afterward, his face full of disgust."
"That was the first time I truly felt what it was like to be despised by someone…"
As she spoke,
Chen Qimeng clenched her fists tighter on her lap.
She was usually a forgetful and forgiving person.
Yet this particular memory remained etched vividly in her mind.
Over the years, whenever a man tried to get close to her, that scene would replay in her mind.
Gradually,
That small detail became an indelible wound.
Perhaps for many more years, she would still…
Chen Qimeng: "!!!"
Just as she was lost in her memories,
A pair of hands suddenly reached out and gently clasped hers, cradling them as if they were treasures.
"Maybe ‘she’ was the one who was dirty to begin with."
"Skin this fair and smooth, like a twenty-year-old’s."
"I’ve always wanted to say—your hands are truly beautiful."
"They’re the most beautiful pair I’ve ever seen!"
[Ding!]
[Masterful move! Your heartfelt praise soothes the proxy sect leader’s wounded heart!]
[Reward: 50 spirit stones.]
Chen Qimeng was inexplicably touched by Lin Yu’s words.
The atmosphere—soaking their feet together, their hands intertwined—
Yet she felt no awkwardness or tension.
All she could replay in her mind were Lin Yu’s words.
Lately, she had been trying to follow He Jing’s advice.
To treat Xiao Yu as a "grown man," not just a kid.
Earlier, when she mentioned picking up a pillow,
Chen Qimeng had secretly hoped, even just a little…
That Xiao Yu might understand the years of pain she had endured.
But she never expected—
Xiao Yu had spoken straight to her heart…
"Xiao Yu, you… you’re teasing your aunt."
"At thirty, how could I… haha… how could I…"
"You’re making me laugh so hard I’m almost crying…"
[Ding!]
[Masterful move! Beneath the indifferent facade lies a guarded heart—you’ve successfully touched the proxy sect leader’s soul!]
[Reward: 50 spirit stones.]
Seeing Chen Qimeng’s emotions surging uncontrollably,
Lin Yu stepped out of the foot-soaking tub and moved to her side,
Letting her lean against him.
At a time like this,
No words of comfort were needed.
Speaking would only ruin the moment.
Her tears were a release—years of pent-up grievances finally pouring out.
Rather than trying to do something blindly,
It was better to simply be there for her.
……
About ten minutes later,
Chen Qimeng finally composed herself and hurried to empty the foot-soaking tub.
In the bathroom,
She washed her face in front of the mirror.
Cupping her cheeks, she stared at her reflection, only now feeling the delayed embarrassment.
She had no idea what came over her earlier.
To lose control like that—
Crying like a mess in front of Xiao Yu, even staining his clothes.
The thought made her rush out of the bathroom:
"X-Xiao Yu… let me wash your clothes for you, okay?"
"Maybe it’s just work stress lately, I don’t know why I…"
She tried to salvage some dignity,
But before she could finish,
Lin Yu was already handing her his T-shirt.
"I get it. Adults have stress—crying once in a while is good."
"Thanks for washing it, Aunt Qimeng. I’ll pick it up tomorrow night."
"And maybe mooch another foot soak."
"I’ve been learning massage therapy—it works on feet too."
"Consider it my thank-you for the shoes you bought me. I’ll give you a proper massage."
In this atmosphere,
Chen Qimeng couldn’t possibly refuse.
Her heart warmed as she nodded, only to accidentally catch sight of Lin Yu’s toned physique.
She quickly averted her gaze: "…"
She hadn’t noticed before.
She thought Xiao Yu was just skinny.
Does he work out at school too?
"The shoes fit perfectly!"
"It’s getting late—you should rest, Auntie."
"I’ll head back to sleep. Message me anytime if you need anything."
The effects of the Forbidden Zone Exploration Talisman hadn’t worn off yet,
But tonight’s mood was best left here.
Leaving room for more later.
Pushing the relationship too fast would only backfire.
He’d already experienced the talisman’s power to the fullest.
Next time,
Maybe he’d try it with another sect friend—
They couldn’t all be immortal maidens, right?
……
The foot soak had washed away his fatigue.
Lin Yu returned to his room, relaxed and refreshed.
As soon as he stepped inside,
A rustling sound reached his ears.
Lin Yu turned: "!!!"
Snap!
Before he could react,
The bedroom light flicked on.
Mo Shangying stood there, staring at Lin Yu’s bare torso,
Her eyes a mix of shock and poorly concealed glee.
Ye Mengfu, standing by the desk, caught sight of Lin Yu’s state—
She spun around instantly, her back to him.
For a few seconds, the room was frozen in silence.
Mo Shangying broke it first:
"Shifu…"
"Did you and the nurse have such a wild time…"
"That you lost your shirt?"
Lin Yu quickly grabbed a robe from the rack:
"You two—"
"How did you get in?"
"Why didn’t you tell me?"
Mo Shangying shrugged innocently:
"We just got here a minute ago—didn’t even have time to turn on the light."
"Your door wasn’t locked!"
"And we did text you. Check your phone if you don’t believe me."
"Ohhh~"
"Too busy playing around to check your messages?"
Lin Yu: "…"
Lately, especially at night,
Plenty of people had been messaging him nonstop.
When he was focused on something, he often missed notifications.
He figured he’d reply to everyone at once later—
Like an emperor reviewing memorials in bed.
Who knew
He’d walk into such a surprise!
Since lunch,
He hadn’t had time to chat much with these two.
With the sudden appearance of a "new disciple," it was no surprise Mo Shangying had questions.
Coming to his room this late—
She must be here to discuss tomorrow’s "dojo challenge" plan!
Sure enough,
What came next—
Mo Shangying pulled the bashful Ye Mengfu closer and asked Lin Yu with a grin:
"Master, shouldn’t you explain it to us?"
"Is Nurse Sister my 'senior sister' or 'junior sister'?"
"Our sect seems unexpectedly huge!"
"Hehehe..."
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
