"Love Wall?
Take couple photos!"
Chen Qimeng's cheeks flushed rapidly upon hearing the female salesperson's description.
She and Lin Yu… taking couple photos?
Seeing Lin Yu constantly winking at her, it seemed he hadn’t given it much thought.
If she reacted too strongly, wouldn’t it make her seem like she had something to hide?
An 18% discount would indeed save them a lot of money—enough for their groceries tonight!
Maybe…
After wrestling with her thoughts, Chen Qimeng tiptoed and whispered into Lin Yu’s ear like a mosquito:
"Lin Yu, taking couple photos with you… feels a bit too…"
Hearing this, Lin Yu wasn’t disappointed at all. Instead, he felt smug.
If Aunt Qimeng were truly extremely resistant, she would’ve outright said, "We can’t take couple photos."
Her current wording sounded like she was asking Lin Yu for an excuse to convince herself.
The implications behind her words filled Lin Yu with delight.
He had to seize this opportunity firmly!
Lin Yu patted Chen Qimeng’s shoulder lightly, mimicking her gesture as he leaned in and replied:
"Anyway, they don’t know we’re fake couple."
"Wouldn’t it be silly not to save money?"
"We’re not some wealthy family—just treat it like a normal photo together."
Chen Qimeng only vaguely caught his words.
Lin Yu speaking so close to her ear made her heart race uncontrollably.
She couldn’t even think straight about whether it was reasonable or not.
All for saving money, all for saving money!
If Lin Yu wasn’t overthinking it, how could she?
Don’t overanalyze, don’t overanalyze…
Seeing Chen Qimeng nod in agreement, Lin Yu struck while the iron was hot, casually wrapping his arm around her back and holding her forearm:
"Hello, we’d like to join the activity. Where do we take the photos?"
Chen Qimeng’s arm, now held by Lin Yu: "!!!"
This… this is normal, right?
At the very least, they had to make the saleswoman believe they were a couple.
Just a necessary little gesture, don’t overthink it…
[Ding!]
[Masterful move—a slightly ambiguous action sends the acting sect leader’s heart racing!]
[Reward: 20 Spirit Stones.]
The system’s notification only strengthened Lin Yu’s grip.
Under the saleswoman’s guidance, the two arrived at an open space in the mall’s first floor.
The shop had set up several themed backdrops for customers participating in the activity to choose from.
But there was one additional requirement…
"Please take a look at this wall. There are six poses to choose from."
"You’ll need to follow the reference poses in the sample photos to qualify for our discount coupons!"
Chen Qimeng looked at the sample poses: "!!!"
Lin Yu chuckled inwardly.
A classic sales tactic!
First, they dangle an easily attainable reward to draw you in.
Only after you’re hooked do they reveal the complicated requirements.
You think following through means you’ve scored a deal?
Wrong again.
The real organizers of this event might not even be the photo studio…
But the brands behind those discount coupons!
Their goal? To sell more clothes and boost sales.
Clothes you might’ve skipped buying suddenly seem irresistible with a money-saving coupon in hand!
This was the first time Lin Yu, well-versed in human psychology, actually wanted to fall for the trap.
The six sample poses were:
1. Sharing a single puff snack.
2. The man carrying the woman in a princess hold.
3. The woman kissing the man’s cheek.
4. The man and woman touching noses.
5. The woman looking up from the man’s chest as he gazes down.
6. Both forming a heart with their hands as a foreground, capturing their sweet, intimate smiles inside it.
After reviewing them all, Lin Yu began strategizing.
He turned to the saleswoman and asked:
"Miss, I wanted to ask—are the coupons limited to just two?"
"We’re shopping and might buy more clothes."
"Could we take an extra pose or two for one or two more coupons?"
"Thanks in advance, miss!"
Coupons weren’t treasures.
To salespeople, they were practically scraps of paper.
Even if they didn’t take extra photos, asking for one more wouldn’t be refused.
If it led to a purchase, the store might even get a commission.
Plus, calling her "miss" so sweetly—how could she say no?
Just as Lin Yu predicted, the saleswoman smiled and replied:
"Sir, you’re so good to your girlfriend. I envy this lucky lady!"
"If you’re willing to do two poses, I’ll make an exception—four coupons for you both."
Chen Qimeng beside them: "!!!"
Was this still about money?!
Every single pose was enough to push Chen Qimeng’s mental limits.
And now they had to pick two?!
How…
How was she supposed to choose?!
Chen Qimeng stood frozen, not daring to speak.
If she backed out now, Lin Yu… definitely wouldn’t agree!
Lin Yu had already gone all-in for those coupons!
After finishing his negotiation, Lin Yu even tugged Chen Qimeng’s arm and whispered:
"Four coupons, Aunt Qimeng. We’re really hitting the jackpot this time, right?"
Chen Qimeng: "…"
What could she even say?
All she could do was force a smile and nod.
She’d already agreed—there was no turning back now.
Lin Yu grinned from the heart.
Of the six poses, the princess carry was the easiest to execute.
It might make her heart race in the moment, but afterward, there’d be no real progress.
Lin Yu wanted to use this rare opportunity to solidify something beyond the usual boundaries.
Any pose other than the princess carry would be a breakthrough!!
"Please choose your poses first."
"Each one matches a different backdrop. Once you’ve decided, I’ll call the photographer over."
The saleswoman had already prepared the four coupons at the counter.
Lin Yu nudged Chen Qimeng and deliberately asked aloud:
"Sweetheart, you should be the one to pick."
Chen Qimeng shuddered: "???"
This felt like asking a condemned prisoner to choose their method of execution.
So… so cruel!
Chen Qimeng stammered:
"Li…"
"D-Darling, you choose. I… I’m fine with anything."
Lin Yu: "Anything? Then I’ll pick."
Chen Qimeng, blushing, took a step back: "…"
Though he’d expected this response, actually making the choice was still a challenge.
He couldn’t pick something too bold and risk making her wary afterward.
But he also couldn’t waste this chance on something with no intimacy at all.
Lin Yu tapped his chin, pretending to deliberate seriously:
"How about Pose 1 and Pose 4? (For those who forgot, scroll back up.)"

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.
lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him. Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds. Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...

The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant.

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
