At five o'clock in the afternoon,
Lin Yu finally stood in front of Room 301.
His hair wasn’t deliberately blow-dried but left to air-dry naturally.
Even now,
it was still evident that he had just showered.
To say he wasn’t eager or hopeful would be a lie.
However,
Lin Yu didn’t see this opportunity as the one and only "final answer."
Nor did he truly consider himself a "chosen one."
Instead,
he treated it as an unprecedented challenge—something he had never encountered before.
The challenge? Whether it would become addictive.
Knock, knock, knock…
Lin Yu lightly rapped on the door, listening for any movement inside.
With his physical conditioning and heightened hearing,
even the faintest sound from within the room was crystal clear to him.
After knocking,
Mo Shangying didn’t seem to be coming to open the door.
Instead, there was the soft sound of footsteps inside.
Meaning Ying'er was definitely in the room—but deliberately ignoring him?
Lin Yu tried turning the doorknob.
Click…
The door opened effortlessly, without any resistance.
Lin Yu: "???"
She didn’t even lock the door?!
Didn’t she worry that Little Fufu might barge in and ruin this rare opportunity?
"Ying'er? Playing games again, huh?"
"The room isn’t that big—where could you possibly hide?"
Click! Click!
The first thing Lin Yu did after entering was lock the door behind him.
Then—
Haa…
He exhaled a heated breath. The lingering effects of Baihua Ninglu and the prelude of Zui Hua Yin were already beginning to surface.
One bottle’s worth—
Even with his enhanced physique, that was pretty much his limit.
Any more, and he wouldn’t be able to perform tonight. He’d just pass out.
For an average person, even a seasoned drinker, half a bottle would be enough to knock them out.
Unfortunately,
Ying'er wasn’t much of a drinker.
Otherwise,
she could’ve helped set the mood tonight.
Before entering,
Lin Yu had even considered using an [Forbidden Zone Exploration Talisman].
But after some thought,
he decided against it.
Why rush into special editions before even experiencing the original?
That would be putting the cart before the horse.
Better to go through it once first, then think about upgrades later.
"Really hiding?"
"How childish—playing hide-and-seek at your age?"
"Ying'er, are you thinking: If I catch you, I’ll… heh heh heh?"
The moment he said it,
a faint rustling sound came from behind the curtains.
Only then did Lin Yu notice—
Ying'er had, for once, not drawn the curtains today.
The only bit of concealment left
was now trembling slightly.
Lin Yu: "..."
Her hiding skills were absolutely terrible.
Given the time, dinner was already out of the question.
If they didn’t hurry, even grabbing a late-night snack would be a stretch.
He strode to the curtains and, with swift dominance, reached inside.
In one motion, he "fished" out the hiding Ying'er, pulling her into the open.
Mo Shangying let out a startled cry: "Ah!!"
By the time she regained her senses, she was already flat on the bed.
Her wrists and ankles were effortlessly pinned by Lin Yu, who loomed over her.
"Still trying to mess with me?"
"Ying'er, did you really think hiding would make me let you go?"
Lin Yu clasped both her wrists in one hand.
With the other, he gently brushed aside the stray hairs on Mo Shangying’s face as he spoke.
Ying'er shook her head, her voice slightly hoarse but calm:
"No, I wasn’t trying to mess with you."
"When you knocked, I was actually about to open the door."
Lin Yu: "???"
Mo Shangying’s expression was stiff,
not at all like she was lying.
"Then why didn’t you? Why hide behind the curtains instead?"
Lin Yu pressed further.
Mo Shangying’s voice was quiet, almost raspy, but her tone remained steady:
"I was scared."
Lin Yu: "..."
Scared?
Wasn’t it a bit late for that now?
Besides,
she was the one who had initiated all this in the first place.
Lin Yu was just playing along!
"It felt like… back in school, when I finished Dragon Ball GT and thought that was the real ending—that sinking feeling."
"Or like losing my childhood handheld console after having it for years."
"And a bit like the first time I stayed out overnight—that restless, uneasy fear."
"But when I really think about it… none of those quite match."
"It’s hard to describe how I feel right now."
"Little Yu… Master…"
"Can you just hold me first? A proper hug…"
Lin Yu: "!!!"
The look in Ying'er’s eyes struck him like a bolt.
In that instant,
Lin Yu realized what he’d overlooked.
No matter how bold her words or rebellious her attitude,
this was still Ying'er’s first time.
Everyone has many "first times" in life.
But when something carries consequences,
fear is a natural instinct.
Especially… with something like this.
What unsettled Lin Yu most was—
If this were any of the other girls in the apartment,
would he have needed someone to point this out?
Would he have even forgotten in the first place?
But with Ying'er, he’d missed it entirely.
Not Ying'er’s fault…
From the very beginning, when they’d made plans for today,
Lin Yu had subconsciously dismissed her personality,
never treating her like someone experiencing this for the first time.
Lin Yu released her wrists and pulled Mo Shangying into his arms.
Gently stroking her hair, he murmured:
"Sorry, I got carried away earlier."
"We’ve got all night… Let’s take it slow."
"Ying'er, you look amazing tonight. This outfit hits all the right notes for me."
Mo Shangying knew these words might just be comfort, not genuine praise.
But somehow,
the unease and fear inside her did ease a little.
Being held like this by Lin Yu… actually helped.
"Little Yu, thank you…"
"I think I’m ready now."
After a couple of minutes,
Mo Shangying spoke up again—this time, a clear signal.
Lin Yu cupped her face, his tone still tender:
"Ying'er… can I kiss you now?"
Mo Shangying blinked, her fingers tightening slightly on her skirt,
then nodded quietly.
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.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
