[Reward: 50 spirit stones]
[Ding!]
[Outstanding move! Your godlike proportions, worthy of classical paintings, earn deep admiration from Joyous Sect's Talisman Mistress!]
[Reward: 20 spirit stones]
The accidental exposure seemed to have positive effects after all.
Truth be told,
Just like men, most women prioritize physical attractiveness over inner beauty.
Admiring pretty faces and toned bodies remains the universal preference.
Inside the bedroom,
After changing into pajamas,
Lin Yu held a "pajama conference" with two similarly dressed young women.
Over ten minutes, he meticulously recounted the incident at the community hospital,
Deliberately framing himself as the noble hero "forced to intervene."
During dinner with the trio earlier,
Lin Yu had already prepared his narrative.
Attempting to brush things off without explanation would never work—
Given his rebellious disciple's razor-sharp perception and cunning nature,
She'd never let him get away with it.
Superhuman combat skills capable of taking on multiple opponents?
Hardly unbelievable.
At most, it just added another layer of mystique to Lin Yu's persona.
For the young women in this apartment,
He didn't mind them discovering more of his... assets.
"Yesss!"
"That makes me the senior disciple then!"
"Shifu, who knew you trained back in your hometown?"
"Seeing your physique just now—you look like a star athlete!"
Mo Shangying showed little skepticism.
Instead, she felt grateful that Sister Weiwei appeared so fortuitously,
Turning a crisis into fresh opportunities.
If Shifu could successfully challenge that dojo next,
That annoying cat would have to live under her watchful eyes.
Strangely, Mo Shangying felt a thrill of anticipation.
Lin Yu: "..."
His rebellious disciple really chose her words carefully.
"Just saw" his physique?
In her room, she'd seen it multiple times already!
Her acting was almost convincing.
As for Ye Mengfu,
She only absorbed about seventy percent of Lin Yu's story.
After glimpsing his physique earlier,
Last night's dream sequences began replaying like film clips in her mind—
Now with the male lead's proportions rendered in hyper-realistic detail.
Ye Mengfu chanted internally:
Don't think about it... don't think...
Mustn't dwell... mustn't...
Yet the harder she resisted, the sharper the mental images became.
Noticing Ye Mengfu's flushed, distracted expression, Mo Shangying teased:
"Little Fufu, did Shifu's story scare you?"
"Why so quiet?"
"Or... hehe... are you stunned by Shifu's physique?"
"Not some scrawny twig—must feel rock-hard, right?"
"Don't be shy, come test it out..."
Ye Mengfu: "Huh???"
Lin Yu: "Wha???"
Still lost in her fantasy, Ye Mengfu couldn't react fast enough
As Shangying grabbed her wrist and shoved it under Lin Yu's pajama top.
Lin Yu certainly could've dodged...
But why bother?
An icy touch slithered across his abdomen.
Lin Yu distinctly felt Ye Mengfu's palm flatten for one trembling second
Before curling into a tight, quivering fist that desperately retreated.
Meanwhile,
Her eyes shot daggers at the prankster: "!!!"
Mo Shangying blinked innocently, raising both hands:
"My hands are clean now!"
Truthfully, she'd only guided Ye Mengfu's initial contact.
Afterward,
It was all Ye Mengfu panicking inside Lin Yu's loose pajamas,
Bumping around like a first-timer
Fumbling for an exit.
[Ding!]
[Outstanding move! Skin contact with Joyous Sect's Talisman Mistress sends her heart racing!]
[Reward: 20 spirit stones]
[Ding!]
[Congratulations! Relationship with Talisman Mistress advances to fifth tier "Intimate Bonds"!]
[Reward: 50 spirit stones]
Hearing the system notifications,
Lin Yu marveled inwardly:
Taking Shangying as a disciple was the ultimate jackpot!
Not only did she offer herself willingly,
But also served up her "rival" and "best friend" on a silver platter.
A single move yielding multiple gains.
Before he could finish gloating, another chime sounded—
[Ding]
[Talisman Mistress possesses unique constitution!]
[Current intimacy level approaches "Soul Bonding" threshold!]
[Upon reaching sixth tier "Crimson Phoenix Awakening," may become soul-bound dao companions!]
[Issuing trial quest...]
[Talisman Artistry (Trial Quest): Seize a private moment to showcase divine brushwork, conquering the Talisman Mistress's heart completely!]
Lin Yu: "!!!"
An unexpected windfall!
Her defenseless constitution truly delivered—
Only sixth-tier requirements for soul bonding?
This revelation also clarified:
Dao companion bonding requires trial quests.
Glancing at his rebellious disciple...
Perhaps she's an exception—
A rule-breaking maverick!
The "brushwork" in the quest surely meant painting.
Lin Yu's artistic skills?
Stick-figure doodles at best.
Challenging a sect elder with toddler-level artistry?
Sheer folly.
Normally impossible...
But Lin Yu possessed a wildcard—[Ghost Hand Talisman]!
[Ghostly fingers steal heaven's secrets, replicating mastery to claim supremacy.]
With this,
He might pull off a "Murong Fu"—using her own arts against her!
"Shangying, stop teasing poor Fufu."
"Not everyone shares your... straightforward appreciation."
"She's a proper young lady—don't corrupt her!"
Lin Yu delivered the reprimand sternly,
While adding a mental footnote:
If anyone corrupts her, it'll be me.
While lecturing, he pulled up Ye Mengfu's status panel:
[Ye Mengfu]
[Age: 22]
[Sect Status: Joyous Sect Talisman Mistress]
[Host Intimacy: 55% (Tier 5 - Intimate Bonds)]
[Dao Companions (Soul/Physical): 0/0 (Unique: No Defenses)]
[Skills: Divine Brushwork, Delicate Constitution (Other data locked)]
[Current Quests:]
[Talisman Artistry (Trial): Seize private moment...]
[Purchase Spirit Powder (Daily): Sect supplies depleted. Urgently need art supplies (Buy watercolors).]
Bingo!
Divine Brushwork—that's the key!
Two Ghost Hand Talismans should suffice...

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

ose... to cooperate with the protagonist! Shen Yuan: I have a system! Protagonist: What? System: Holy crap, you're just spilling it out like that? Shen Yuan: Let's team up, we'll split the system rewards! Protagonist: Fifty-fifty split? Shen Yuan: No way! Protagonist: What!? I'm the one getting beaten up, and I don't get half? Shen Yuan: Forty-sixty split, I get forty, you get sixty! Protagonist: Deal! Big brother, come on, hit me! As long as it doesn't kill me, beat me like you mean it! Shen Yuan: Don't worry... I will definitely protect all of you! No one but me can lay a finger on you! Guard our Heaven's Chosen Ones! I'm the only one allowed to bully them!

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?

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.
