After the song ended,
Mo Shangying held her phone and glanced at Maomao sitting beside her:
"Crafty Maomao, everyone's QQ Zone posts got read out loud."
"Did you delete all your old posts? There's not a single one left?"
Maomao replied calmly:
"I’ve never posted anything."
For a moment,
the group exchanged surprised glances.
Only Xia Yiwei’s eyes held a trace of sympathy, though she didn’t voice the reason.
Lin Yu had also noticed Maomao’s empty QQ Zone.
Raised under "elite education," Maomao likely had little time for leisure.
Things like using QQ, posting updates, or writing blogs might have been entirely foreign to her.
Having guessed as much,
Lin Yu had deliberately avoided bringing it up.
Yet,
to his surprise, Ying'er was the one who broached the topic.
What shocked him even more was—
Mo Shangying blinked and asked curiously:
"Is posting updates illegal?"
The group: "???"
Maomao: "...No."
Mo Shangying: "Then what’s the problem? It’s never too late to try something new. How about your debut post?"
Under Mo Shangying’s earnest gaze, Maomao felt a sudden surge of energy.
Hesitantly, she picked up her phone and opened QQ Zone.
Then, she turned to Mo Shangying:
"What should I write?"
Mo Shangying shrugged her slender shoulders:
"How should I know? Just say whatever’s on your mind."
"It’s your space—what you write there…"
"is entirely up to you!"
Maomao’s eyes flickered, unconsciously drifting toward Xia Yiwei.
Xia Yiwei smiled brightly and nodded, gesturing as if to say, "Go ahead."
Lowering her head, Maomao cradled her phone, thought for a moment, and slowly began typing…
At the dinner table,
everyone simultaneously refreshed their feeds, searching for the latest update from their friend.
The anticipation was palpable!
"Tonight’s dinner was delicious."
Just as Maomao was about to post the words, she hesitated and edited them again…
Soon,
a new update appeared in everyone’s feeds:
"Maomao (cat avatar)"
"Tonight’s dinner was wonderful."
Within mere seconds,
notifications—something Maomao’s phone had never displayed before—began lighting up.
+1 +2 +3…
Lin Yu noticed an unfamiliar joy flicker across Maomao’s usually composed face.
Her expression resembled that of "a little girl receiving her first gift."
Maomao turned to Mo Shangying and said:
"Ying'er, thank you. You’re a kind and easygoing person."
Mo Shangying: "Uh…"
Lin Yu then observed an unfamiliar discomfort flash across Ying'er’s cheerful face.
Her expression mirrored that of "a rival admitting, 'Out of everyone, you understand me best.'"
The group could sense that if the dinner continued like this,
it would become one of those rare, heartwarming moments in the apartment.
But the ladies had no idea…
Their peaceful evening was possible only because someone else was about to shoulder the storm.
[Ding!]
[Crisis Alert: The leader and all members of the Blazing Sea Demonic Cult have appeared nearby. The group’s location has been exposed. Host, remain vigilant and eliminate the threat promptly!]
Hearing the system’s warning,
Lin Yu casually downed the last of his wine.
Tch.
It was bound to happen sooner or later.
Time to shake off the melancholy and warmth—
and bring on something far more thrilling!
Lin Yu could already hear Shi Yanhai and his gang exchanging expletive-laden chatter nearby.
......
"Old Gou, don’t you dare screw with me about Qingshui!"
"I’m dead serious. If you’re lying, tell me now."
"Or if things go south later, we’re done as brothers!"
A guy in a color-block T-shirt, athletic shorts, and designer sneakers
glared at Gou Feng, demanding answers.
Gou Feng clapped his hands, even more earnest:
"I’d be your son if I lied!"
"The scent was identical!"
"Have I ever been wrong before?"
Zhao Bin gasped:
"Bro, look at that huge table—holy crap!"
"Not just our class’s twins, but a whole squad of stunners!"
"Has Lin Yu gotten into some shady business lately?"
"One guy with… a pack of women? They…"
Before he could finish,
Shi Yanhai elbowed him sharply, scowling:
"He’s shady?"
"And the women eating with him? What’re you implying?"
"That they’re all shady too?"
Zhao Bin rubbed his chest, wincing:
"Oww, that’s not what I meant!"
"Bro, getting mad at us won’t help!"
"Big Gao! Hey, Big Gao!"
"Say something, man!"
Noticing Gao Yumin spacing out, Zhao Bin tugged his sleeve.
Gao Yumin murmured dreamily:
"Guys… I think I’m in love again."
"Who’s that girl in traditional dress? She’s… she’s my exact type!"
"Shouldn’t we… go over there?"
"Yanhai, didn’t you want answers? Let’s move!"
Shi Yanhai: "..."
Zhao Bin: "..."
Gou Feng: "..."
After living together for so long,
the trio instantly recognized Gao Yumin’s… condition.
His towering height and lean frame did attract certain girls.
Among their four-man squad,
Gao Yumin had the most dating experience—even more than Shi Yanhai.
Shi Yanhai had no time to mock the overgrown horndog.
But one thing Gao Yumin said was right—
Speculating about why Lin Yu was dining with Qingshui
was a waste of breath.
If this was just a chance encounter between classmates,
and Qingshui had joined Lin Yu’s table,
then given his history with her, she wouldn’t refuse him either!
Even without a solid plan,
Shi Yanhai stubbornly declared:
"Let’s go. We were just picking a place to eat anyway—today, it’s this one."
"Act natural. Play it off as a coincidence."
The moment he finished,
Gao Yumin grabbed a beer and charged ahead eagerly.
......
At the table of one man and eight women,
after hearing the Blazing Sea Demonic Cult’s approach, Lin Yu eagerly awaited their arrival.
After waiting forever,
they were finally here!
Soon, exaggerated greetings rang out:
"Hey? What a coincidence!"
"Just picking a random spot and running into classmates!"
"Yo, Lin Yu, fancy meeting you here!"
"......"
The forced chatter drew everyone’s attention.
......
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force!

With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
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.
