Drink after drink after drink—
The dishes were barely touched.
"Hey, Hai, wipe that 'all-is-lost' look off your face."
"Today, I finally saw what they mean about the quiet ones being the most dangerous!"
"Lin Yu, that bastard, never stood out in class—barely spoke a word."
"But just now, surrounded by girls? Smooth as hell, a real player."
"No way our President Chi isn’t under his spell."
"Otherwise, why would they be living together?"
"I told you their clothes smelled the same, but none of you believed me!"
Gou Feng pretended to console,
but really, he was just flexing his "bloodhound" skills.
Zhao Bin tapped his plate impatiently.
"Dog Bro, shut the hell up already."
"Living together? Don’t jump to conclusions."
"Maybe… she’s just pissed at Hai. Did you see how she acted earlier?"
The moment he finished—
BANG!
Shi Yanhai slammed the table, pointing at Zhao Bin.
"Lao Zhao, I never realized you were the real love expert here!"
Zhao Bin blinked nervously.
"Oh? R-really…?"
"But isn’t our resident Casanova supposed to be Big Gao?"
"Big Gao, you—"
"Hey! Don’t puke there, damn it!!"
……
A few minutes later.
Lin Yu strode in like a true victor, trailed by Big Chi and Little Chi.
Each step radiated dominance as he approached the table of troublemakers.
Today,
with allies, dao companions, and mysterious experts taking turns,
the little gang had already been torn apart.
Now, Lin Yu was here for one simple purpose—
Cleanup duty.
"Boys, enjoying the drinks?"
"Big Gao looks… thoroughly enjoyed?"
Gao Yumin lay slumped over the table, mumbling incoherently.
Lin Yu couldn’t help but ask.
"Pour!"
"Keep pouring!"
"Not enough yet…"
"Pour! Right in there—watch the bumper…"
Gao Yumin babbled drunkenly.
Lin Yu smirked, motioning for Big Chi and Little Chi to stay back.
His family wasn’t clueless.
Talent like this? Worth hiring as a security guard, even if it cost extra.
Chi Qingshui’s voice was icy. "Was it necessary to drink like this among classmates?"
Chi Qingchi peeked curiously. "I thought all the guys in our class could hold their liquor. Guess not…"
When the trio arrived,
Shi Yanhai immediately stood, pulling out two chairs.
"Sit, let’s talk."
"Big Gao might’ve… overdone it earlier."
"I already scolded him—he punished himself with a few more rounds."
Lin Yu’s eyes gleamed at the sight of two chairs.
Perfect. Now we’ve got a real feud.
All that fake politeness had made him hesitate.
This was more like it—young men should be fiery!
"The class prez knows how to handle things."
"I’m sure Big Gao didn’t mean any harm."
With that, Lin Yu plopped down right beside Shi Yanhai.
Shi Yanhai: "???"
Zhao Bin: "!!!"
Gou Feng: "!!!"
Anyone could see—
those chairs were meant for the girls.
Yet Lin Yu planted himself there without a second thought.
The Chi sisters exchanged a glance.
These two were sharp—nothing like the airheaded stereotypes in dramas.
Two chairs, three people.
Shi Yanhai’s intentions were obvious.
Normally, Lin Yu would’ve let the girls sit.
Unless…
This wasn’t a normal situation.
Clearly, Lin Yu was doing this on purpose.
He was pissed—no, more like petty.
Chi Qingchi took it in stride.
But Chi Qingshui? Panic mode.
As the secret girlfriend, she was torn.
She didn’t want Lin Yu to react to Shi Yanhai’s provocations…
but also kind of did.
The dilemma left her frozen.
This problem’s too hard. I give up.
Chi Qingshui nudged her sister. "Xiao Chi, go sit."
After a pause, Chi Qingchi obediently took the spot next to Lin Yu.
No way she’d let her sister sit near Shi Yanhai.
Seeing this,
Zhao Bin, ever the lackey, piped up:
"President, take my seat. I’ll squeeze in with Big Gao and Dog Bro."
"Big Gao’s wasted—Dog Bro can’t handle him alone."
Gou Feng chimed in:
"Took you long enough. You know how heavy he is!"
Shi Yanhai shot them a grateful look.
Brothers in arms!
But then—
Lin Yu cut in casually:
"Oh, Big Chi? She doesn’t need to sit. Standing’ll help sober her up."
He mirrored Shi Yanhai’s earlier move,
shooting Chi Qingshui a "I get it—you don’t wanna sit by him" look.
And miraculously—
Chi Qingshui caught the message, eyes flashing "Thanks."
Standing? She’s thanking him for it.
[Ding!]
[Critical Strike!]
[Flirting with your dao companion in front of the jealous villain? Soul-crushing damage to the Blazing Sea Demon Leader!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones]
Shi Yanhai’s voice trembled.
"Qingshui… you drank?"
Lin Yu scoffed internally:
Oh-ho-ho~
"You drank"?
Next you’ll ask if she "lit a lone lamp."
Bet this is how you talk in private, huh?
He twisted the knife:
"Just a sip. I finished the rest for her."
[Ding!]
[Critical Strike x2!]
[Drinking your dao companion’s leftover nectar? Heartbreak multiplier for the Blazing Sea Demon Leader!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones]
Lin Yu almost wished Shi-gongzi would last longer.
Tonight’s spirit stones are on you, buddy.
Please, endure a few more hits.
Two strikes in,
Shi Yanhai finally understood—
Heartbreak is a pain beyond words.
Qingshui, who never drank,
had been "corrupted" by Lin Yu?
His pure Qingshui, tainted by such vices!
"Even if you drank, you shouldn’t stand."
"Let me get another chair. Here, take mine, Qingshui."
The warm act continued.
This time, Chi Qingshui shut it down herself:
"No need, Class Prez."
"We’re leaving soon—everyone’s waiting."
"Weren’t we discussing the film screening? Let’s focus."
Shi Yanhai clenched his fists and sat back.
Meanwhile, Zhao Bin and Gou Feng’s faces said it all—
side-eyeing Lin Yu, shaking heads, crossing arms…
"We hate this guy" might as well be tattooed on their foreheads.
They couldn’t fathom it.
Why would their usually unapproachable president
obey Lin Yu like this?
Did he save her in a past life?
Lin Yu noticed their hostility.
Don’t worry.
Tonight, I’ll… slaughter you all.
Seamlessly, he steered the conversation:
"Class monitor, speaking of the movie screening, I heard from Da Chi that you have the most insider tickets."
"The guys in the dorm will all be going this Friday, right?"
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
