[Ding!]
[During the forbidden zone exploration, obtained and read the Joyous Sect Bell Envoy’s private "Spring of Mortal Desires"!]
[Rewards: 100 Sect Contribution Points, 200 Spirit Stones, 1 bottle of Hundred Flowers Nectar.]
Hearing the system’s notification, Lin Yu, who was holding a comic book, became even more engrossed in reading.
This was way more satisfying than grinding daily quests!
After admiring a few pages of the comic featuring a goblin on the cover, Lin Yu clicked his tongue in amazement:
"Qingchi, this comic of yours is something else!"
"It doesn’t even have any censorship marks?"
Chi Qingchi sat on the bed, covering her face, her feet kicking frantically in the air:
"Ugh, Lin Yu, stop talking about it…"
"I swear I’ve never read it before… Can you believe me?"
Lin Yu: "Of course I believe you."
Chi Qingchi peeked at him through the gaps between her fingers:
"Really? You really believe me?"
Lin Yu turned the comic book around and pointed at a folded corner:
"Qingchi, this folded page at number 125… Surely the book folded itself by accident, right?"
Chi Qingchi: "Ugh, Lin Yu, you’re doing this on purpose…"
The photo blackmail hadn’t even been resolved yet, and now another piece of leverage had fallen into Lin Yu’s hands.
From now on, there’d be no escaping his grasp!
She could only blame her sister for returning early from Jizhou, catching her off guard.
To keep this "Saintess" comic hidden from her sister, Qingchi had stashed it in a less obvious pile of books.
And then… she forgot about it.
What can you expect? Twenty-year-olds are forgetful!
And now, thanks to a bizarre twist of fate, Lin Yu had dug it out!
Lin Yu leisurely stood up and walked to the bedside, reassuring her:
"Relax, Qingchi. We’re tight like this—of course I’ll keep your secret."
Chi Qingchi lifted her head, her face full of grievance:
"There’s a condition, isn’t there? Some weird condition?"
"My sister could come back any minute, Lin Yu—don’t you dare try anything!"
Qingchi was sharp.
She knew all the tricks in the book.
Getting the upper hand on her wasn’t easy.
Lin Yu wagged his finger:
"Don’t misunderstand me. As a fellow young person, I just want to give you a little advice."
Chi Qingchi was puzzled: "???"
Lin Yu continued:
"Something this private needs to be hidden carefully."
"If I found it, I could at least keep it a secret."
"But if your sister found it… what do you think would happen?"
"I’ve got experience in hiding things!"
Chi Qingchi: "!!!"
Strangely enough, Lin Yu’s words actually piqued her interest.
Wasn’t the whole reason he found it because she hadn’t hidden it well enough?
Chi Qingchi asked skeptically:
"Lin Yu, you… have experience?"
"Then where do you usually hide stuff?"
Lin Yu glanced at the corner beneath Qingchi’s bed.
Even through the bedsheet, the golden glow leaking out was impossible to ignore.
If he stopped exploring after just one comic book, wouldn’t the talisman have been wasted?
No way—today, he was going to conduct a thorough inspection!
"In a room this small, the safest spot is obviously under the bed!"
Chi Qingchi patted her mattress and pouted:
"Pfft, I thought you had some genius hiding spot."
"My sister sleeps on the top bunk, and she sits on my bed during the day too."
"Clearly, this is the most dangerous spot—how could it possibly be the safest?"
Lin Yu tossed the comic book in his hand and grinned:
"Good question!"
"See, this just proves you lack experience."
"Let me show you how it's done!"
Chi Qingchi stood up unsuspectingly, curious to see what Lin Yu had in mind.
Lin Yu lifted a corner of the outer bedsheet and slipped the comic book underneath.
Then, he pressed down on the sheet from the outside and said:
"If you hide it here, it’s practically the same as not hiding it at all. It’ll definitely get discovered sooner or later."
"But if you hide it like this…"
As he spoke, Lin Yu pulled the comic back out and moved to the foot of the bed near the wall.
He lifted the sheet again and tucked the book inside:
"This spot? Your sister would never sit here!"
Chi Qingchi tapped her chin thoughtfully and nodded:
"Lin Yu, you’re seriously sneaky."
"That’s actually a pretty good ide—"
Before she could finish, Chi Qingchi froze in place.
In her line of sight, Lin Yu’s hand slowly emerged from under the bed—
along with something delicate, sheer, and stretchy pinched between his fingers…
A pair of pure white stockings!
Chi Qingchi: "Ah! Ahhh!!"
[Ding!]
[During forbidden zone exploration, you’ve unexpectedly obtained the Joyous Sect Bell Envoy’s "sheer foot garment"!]
[Reward: 200 Sect Contribution Points, 400 Spirit Stones, 3 bottles of Hundred Flowers Nectar!]
Well, well.
Even pretty girls stash their socks under the bed.
Back in elementary school, Lin Yu had held a certain idealized image of graceful female classmates, thinking that "gross" things like sweat or grime had nothing to do with "fairies."
Chi Qingchi’s reaction just shattered another piece of his childhood illusions.
He expected her to lunge forward and snatch the stockings away.
But when he turned around—
she looked like she’d already "mentally checked out."
Lin Yu pulled the stockings free and politely draped them over the bed railing.
Then, in an eerily calm tone, he remarked:
"Qingchi… hygiene is still important, you know."
"Can’t have your bed smelling funky."
Chi Qingchi looked as if she’d been struck by lightning: "!!!"
She rushed over, desperate to defend herself:
"They’re washed! These were washed, I swear!"
"I-I thought I lost them!"
"It was an accident, definitely an accident…"
"I’m usually super careful about cleanliness! Don’t you dare misunderstand, Lin Yu!"
"Ughhh…"
This time, it really wasn’t an excuse.
Most likely, during a deep clean with her sister—changing sheets and reorganizing clothes—the stockings had accidentally gotten tucked under the bed.
Even she hadn’t realized a pair was hidden there.
Chi Qingchi was practically hopping in frustration, even more flustered than when her "sacred light" comic was discovered.
Lin Yu found it all the more amusing.
Turns out, she cared less about being seen as a "secretly naughty girl" and more about being mistaken for an "outwardly messy girl"?
Her personality was truly something else!
When panicked, the brain tends to short-circuit.
By the end of her rambling defense, she even uncharacteristically grabbed the stockings and thrust them forward, insisting:
"See? Clean! They smell fine—here, sniff them!"
Lin Yu blinked: "???"
Chi Qingchi immediately realized what she’d done and yanked her hand back.
Lin Yu: "No need for sniffing… I’d rather not risk a lung fungus."
Chi Qingchi: "Aghhh, they’re not dirty! Lin Yu, you can’t slander me like this…"
Lin Yu: "Haha, just teasing… you little slob."
Chi Qingchi: "Ahhh, Lin Yu, look at you..."
Lin Yu grinned brightly.
So the little homebody is such a neat freak.
And she won’t even let anyone think she’s anything less than spotless.

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.
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.”
