"Welcome to—"
"Senior Lin Yu! Good afternoon! Hello, beautiful sister."
"Ruirui is inside. Here to see her, right?"
"I'll take you over."
The shop assistant, Chang Xiaoxiao, greeted the two warmly as they entered.
Today, her glasses weren’t misplaced as usual—they sat properly on her face.
Shen Buyao, hearing the younger girl call her "beautiful sister," smiled and replied:
"Hello there, little beauty! You’ve got such a sweet tongue!"
Shen Buyao’s attitude toward men and women was like night and day.
Her expression hadn’t been nearly as friendly when facing "Big Lao Wang" earlier.
Lin Yu quickly waved his hand and said:
"No need to rush. Ruirui’s probably busy, right?"
As soon as the words left his mouth—
A response came swiftly from inside:
"I’m not busy! Xiaoyu, you’re here?"
Chang Xiaoxiao: "???"
Shen Buyao: "???"
Lin Yu: "..."
He had deliberately lowered his voice when speaking.
Yet—
Mao Ruirui had heard him perfectly clearly!
Living under the same roof, they were all well aware of each other’s little quirks.
Shen Buyao eyed Chang Xiaoxiao suspiciously and asked:
"Little beauty, has your boss’s hearing… gotten this sharp lately?"
Chang Xiaoxiao: "Well… you could say… it comes and goes?"
For Chang Xiaoxiao, this question was a bit out of her depth.
Over the past couple of days, she hadn’t noticed any obvious changes in Ruirui’s hearing.
But…
When it came to Lin Yu, it did seem a little different?
Before long—
Mao Ruirui hurried out from the back room, peeling off her gloves as she walked.
"Yaoyao! Wow, it’s been ages since I last saw you!"
"How come you’re here with Xiaoyu?"
Mao Ruirui moved to hug Shen Buyao but stopped herself—
Remembering she’d just been handling animals, even with gloves, it didn’t feel right.
So instead—
She nudged Shen Buyao playfully with her elbow.
Shen Buyao quickly shielded her chest:
"Lao Mao, still as reckless as ever, huh?"
"I know I spoke louder than Lin Yu, yet you didn’t hear me?"
Watching the two women interact—
Lin Yu: "???"
So they were this close in private?
Lao Mao?
Reckless?
Come to think of it, lately, his encounters with Ruirui had either been brief or during work hours.
He really hadn’t gotten to know her beyond that.
A girl who could hang out privately with Shen Buyao… personality-wise…
Hmm…
Worth investigating further!
Mao Ruirui sighed and said:
"Yaoyao, you have no idea how stressed I am."
"Early this morning, two stray dogs hit by a car were brought to my shop."
"One was too badly injured—my skills just weren’t enough to save it."
"The other hurt its leg. It’s alive, but it hasn’t eaten or drunk a single thing since!"
Shen Buyao frowned and scolded:
"Honestly, why can’t you just run your pet shop normally?"
"You’re not a rescue center!"
"Always sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong, playing the saint."
Mao Ruirui forced a smile and brushed it off.
Clearly, this wasn’t her first time doing rescue work.
When Lin Yu saw the system task earlier that morning—
The emergency task tied to Mao Ruirui had been straightforward.
He didn’t share her boundless compassion for animals, nor her lofty ideals.
But thinking about it—
Watching a life slip away when he could help? He wouldn’t stay indifferent either.
People like Mao Ruirui? He genuinely admired them.
Shen Buyao might complain, but she still offered advice based on her own experience:
"Getting a dog to eat and drink isn’t rocket science!"
"Hand me some gloves—I’ll pry its mouth open!"
"Just grab a big syringe and force-feed it straight into its stomach."
"See if it dares refuse!"
Chang Xiaoxiao: "..."
Lin Yu: "..."
Mao Ruirui: "Yaoyao, its leg isn’t the problem—that’s not why it won’t eat."
Shen Buyao: "..."
Gotta admit—
That was classic "Antique Sister" for you.
Swift and decisive.
Brute force for miracles.
And zero self-doubt!
Lin Yu repeated Shen Buyao’s suggestion in his own words.
Mao Ruirui quickly interjected:
"Xiaoxiao and I already tried force-feeding."
"The dog wouldn’t cooperate—anything we got in, it coughed right back up."
"Trying again might backfire. Sigh…"
"If nothing else works, we’ll have to take it to a proper animal hospital for IV nutrients."
Shen Buyao poked Mao Ruirui’s forehead:
"Should’ve sent it to a rescue center from the start!"
"Now its life’s in your hands—too late to back out, huh?"
"Stuck spending money and effort. Such a softie!"
"Any animal hospitals nearby? Need help taking it over?"
Just as Mao Ruirui was considering—
Lin Yu stepped forward:
"Ruirui-jie, let me try?"
"I had two dogs back in my hometown."
"Maybe I can help?"
Shen Buyao cut in: "This stray obviously isn’t eating because—"
Mao Ruirui: "Sure! Xiaoyu, why don’t you give it a shot?"
Shen Buyao: "???"
That quick to agree?
Since when was Lin Yu a vet?
Chang Xiaoxiao: "???"
She heard him perfectly too?
Was there something magical about Senior Lin Yu’s voice?
Mao Ruirui, noticing their stares: "..."
She wondered herself why she trusted Lin Yu so much.
But something inside her just…
Felt his words were utterly reliable!
Mao Ruirui quickly added:
"Xiaoyu, I’ll get you a pair of gloves. Give it a try."
Lin Yu: "Alright."
…
Ding!
While waiting for the gloves—
Lin Yu’s phone buzzed with a WeChat notification.
He glanced at the screen—a message from his "little rebel disciple":
Mo Shangying: Nap over. ETA? Normally, you’re the master. But today? You’re still my Xiaoyu-zi~ Hehehe!
Lin Yu smirked inwardly:
Hah.
"Xiaoyu-zi" making a comeback?
This girl really didn’t know who was in charge!
He typed back discreetly:
Lin Yu: Back by dinner, Ms. Mo Shangying. Pray this roleplay doesn’t become a habit.
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
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.
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone.

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?
