Just lying down to rest should be fine, right?
Is... is it really necessary to turn off the lights?
Ye Mengfu was so nervous she could barely think straight, completely unable to guess what Lin Yu was planning.
Was he worried that Ying'er might wake up and find their current situation strange?
Well... that explanation kind of made sense... right?
As the room plunged into total darkness, not a single sliver of light remaining,
Ye Mengfu froze stiff.
She lay rigidly straight, hands folded over her stomach like a proper lady at a funeral.
Straining to suppress her rapid breathing, she focused on every sound around her.
But the domineering advance she'd imagined never came.
Instead, the dark silhouette beside her remained calm and steady,
showing no signs of improper behavior toward her.
Sigh...
Seems she'd overthought things.
Lin Yu must genuinely be tired—that's why he suggested resting.
Turning off the lights held no special meaning.
After all,
who sleeps with the lights on?
She always kept them off!
A few minutes later,
the breathing beside her gradually evened out into a steady rhythm.
Ye Mengfu recognized it as the sound of deep sleep.
Too bad the room was pitch black; she couldn't see a thing.
Otherwise, she'd have loved to observe what Lin Yu looked like while asleep.
Recalling everything that had happened over the past few days, Ye Mengfu felt like she was dreaming.
A girl like her... actually in a relationship?
And with...
a guy who perfectly matched her ideal type, no less—a "secret romance" under the same roof.
Ever since her teenage years,
Ye Mengfu had considered herself utterly romance-proof.
With a personality like hers, who could possibly like her?
Yet somehow,
Lin Yu had stumbled into her world by accident, giving her an entirely new experience.
Just as her thoughts began to wander,
the person beside her shifted slightly closer.
He even seemed to have turned onto his side.
Ye Mengfu: "!!!"
M-movement during sleep is normal!
Don’t panic, don’t panic.
She kicked her blankets in her sleep too, didn’t she?
Mustering courage, Ye Mengfu tentatively reached out with her outer arm,
hovering it in the air as if to gauge Lin Yu’s position.
But after a moment,
she chickened out and withdrew it.
What if she accidentally woke him? That’d make things even harder to explain.
The earlier misunderstanding hadn’t even been cleared up yet.
Best not to deepen the confusion.
As long as she stayed still and didn’t fidget,
Lin Yu would probably just shift around a little—nothing more.
Little did she know,
Lin Yu could see everything perfectly in the dark.
Especially Ye Mengfu’s aborted attempt to touch him—it nearly made him laugh out loud.
Such a timid, well-behaved little thing.
And the more flustered she got, the more his inner troublemaker wanted to tease her.
With flawless nonchalance, Lin Yu stretched his arm out in a sleep-like motion...
and draped it over Ye Mengfu’s waist.
Ye Mengfu: "!!!"
S-sleep movements are normal!
Don’t panic, don’t panic.
Lin Yu’s hand was just resting on her stomach.
Once he fell deeper asleep, she could gently slide his arm away.
She repeated the reassurances in her head,
though truthfully, her emotions leaned more toward bashfulness than anxiety.
A stray thought crossed her mind: If only Ying'er weren’t here tonight...
[Ding!]
[Masterful move! Intimate interaction between cultivation partners has flustered the Joyous Sect Talisman Envoy!]
[Reward: 50 spirit stones.]
Ye Mengfu shook her head violently.
Reality isn’t some manga!
After a few minutes of stillness,
confirming Lin Yu wasn’t escalating things,
she cautiously gripped his wrist to ease his arm off.
But the moment she did,
Lin Yu—as if sensing the disturbance—stretched luxuriously.
Startled, Ye Mengfu yanked her hand back.
Worried his stretching might brush against her hovering arm,
she instinctively raised both hands above her head...
in full surrender pose.
Then, to her utter shock,
after finishing his stretch, Lin Yu simply curled an arm around her waist
and effortlessly slid her lightweight frame toward him—
like pulling a pillow into a snuggle.
Ye Mengfu: "!!!"
H-he’s trapped me!
Don’t panic, don’t panic!
Everyone hugs pillows or blankets in their sleep!
She slept while hugging things too!
As long as she didn’t squirm, everything would be fine...
...
Holding a beauty in his arms
was undeniably delightful for Lin Yu.
But pushing further might cross Ye Mengfu’s comfort zone.
Worse, if Ying'er woke up now, it’d spell instant catastrophe.
Still, tonight’s experiment had confirmed one thing:
Ye Mengfu no longer resisted his closeness at all.
Saturday’s date would be the perfect chance to claim her fully.
For now, he contentedly held her close,
though sleep was the last thing on his mind.
Instead, he turned his attention back to the system.
First step:
Select tonight’s dream targets.
Normally, he’d rendezvous with Ye Mengfu in dreams,
but tonight required a change of plans.
Not due to lack of progress—
but because the trio had stayed up late watching the game.
Ye Mengfu likely wouldn’t fall asleep anytime soon.
The system gave no guarantees about next-day dream effects,
so wasting tonight’s opportunity seemed unwise.
Better to pick someone else.
As for Auntie...
She’d just undergone an identity crisis; her mind was probably chaotic.
Best to give her space to sort things out.
With his two regular dream companions ruled out,
every remaining option promised... entertainment.
After some deliberation—
[Ding!]
[Dual-Entry Dream Technique activated!]
[Tonight’s hosts: Library Elder (Chi Qingshui) & Joyous Sect Bell Envoy (Chi Qingchi). Dream type: Random.]
Lin Yu’s primary pick was his little girlfriend.
Adding her twin sister, Qingchi, was purely for the novelty—
after all,
who could resist diving into both twins’ dreams simultaneously?
[Ding!]
[Reminder: First dream (Joyous Sect Bell Envoy) now accessible. Host may concentrate to enter.]
That was fast.
Qingchi must already be dreaming.
So the system alerted him when dreams became available?
Makes sense—otherwise, he’d just pass out randomly.
Reluctantly, Lin Yu released Ye Mengfu and resumed a neutral sleeping posture.
If Ying'er woke up now,
finding them entangled would be... difficult to explain.
Preparations complete,
he focused his consciousness and slipped into the dreamscape...
...
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. 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. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
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.
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
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.
