The Little Girlfriend Panics, the Marvel of the Blood-Reversing Power-Boosting Pill

It was 11 PM.

The two returned to the apartment, agreeing to meet at 8:30 the next morning to attend the film screening together.

During the latter half of their conversation tonight,

Chi Qingshui felt as if her head was about to split open.

On one hand, she had to endure Lin Yu mistaking Lv Rou for her.

On the other, she had to maintain a "detached and rational" stance.

Not a single word could betray the impatience in her heart.

As for whether she should confess her feelings—

and how to do it—

Chi Qingshui brushed it off with the excuse that she had no experience and didn’t know how to give advice.

The secret relationship between her and Lin Yu…

If it ended because of arguments, incompatibility, lost passion, or even because one of them fell for someone else—that would be one thing.

But it absolutely could not end because of her own foolish actions pushing Lin Yu toward someone else!

After returning to her room,

Chi Qingchi noticed her sister had been out for so long.

The moment she came back, she climbed into the top bunk and silently stared at her phone without a word.

A tiny spark of curiosity flared up in Chi Qingchi.

But sensing her sister’s aura…

She didn’t dare ask directly.

Whenever her sister was on the verge of losing her temper, this was the state she’d be in.

Originally, Chi Qingchi thought it best to avoid trouble and not draw any unwanted attention to herself.

She definitely wasn’t bold enough to provoke her sister right now.

Instead, she took a roundabout approach:

"Sis, is the repaired computer working fine?"

Chi Qingshui gave a distracted "Mhm" in response.

And that was the end of it.

Chi Qingchi recognized the danger signal and obediently picked up her tablet, quietly scrolling through new anime episodes.

Under normal circumstances,

even the slightest shift in mood would have Chi Qingshui bringing up the Trojan virus incident and lecturing her nonstop.

But today, she didn’t even bother with the lecture?

Just how big of a mess had happened?

As it turned out,

Xiao Chi’s sharp instincts saved her from her sister’s outburst.

Right now, Chi Qingshui

could no longer maintain her usual composure.

Staring at the chat logs between Lin Yu and the "Dreaming in Rain" account,

she couldn’t figure out

which parts of their conversations had led Lin Yu to mistake her for Lv Rou.

Was it because… the topics were too risqué?

Thinking about it carefully,

Lv Rou’s personality really did match the kind of boldness displayed in those chats.

Earlier, before heading out,

Lin Yu had mentioned he might be busy tonight and wouldn’t be able to chat.

"Dreaming in Rain" had already exchanged goodnights with him.

If she suddenly sent another message now, trying to restart the conversation and draw his attention,

it would seem way too deliberate!

Why would she start chatting again right after Chi Qingshui returned?

For the first time…

Chi Qingshui faced a problem she couldn’t solve, leaving her utterly lost.

Would Lin Yu really confess to Lv Rou at tomorrow’s film screening?

......

Meanwhile, back in his own room,

Lin Yu had never felt more exhilarated.

While reviewing the day’s events with Ying'er,

he eagerly anticipated the upcoming film screening.

He had already piled on layers of psychological pressure for his "little girlfriend."

If even this didn’t force her to reveal her true identity,

then the so-called "intimacy level" between them was clearly a miscalculation by the system!

After wrapping up the chat,

Lin Yu pulled up the system interface to make his final adjustments before bed.

Today’s intense battles with Ying'er had earned him quite a few rewards,

but compared to his usual daily haul, his earnings had taken a significant hit.

[Clan Contribution: 2010]

[Spirit Stones: 4800]

[Free Draw Attempts: 4]

Following his usual routine,

Lin Yu started with a 14-draw spree!

The familiar illusory roulette spun rapidly in his mind.

Maybe because he’d lost some of his primal yang energy earlier,

but today’s luck was abysmal—like a cursed black streak.

[Flower Nectar Dew ×2 bottles]

[Blossom Dew ×1 bottle]

[Daughter’s Blush ×3 jars]

[Forbidden Zone Exploration Talisman ×2]

[Ghost Hand Talisman ×2]

[Blood-Reversal Meridian Boost Pill ×1]

[Red Tent Dragon-Tiger Pill ×2]

Out of thirteen draws,

he got nothing but items he’d already seen before!

Was the damn system out of stock?

Only one new reward appeared in the records.

And it was…

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, Host! You’ve unlocked System Store Permissions: Pill Category ×2 Slots]

[Description: Items in the System Store… will refresh at 7 AM the next morning.]

Lin Yu: "???"

Today’s draws were a complete waste!

Among all the rewards,

Lin Yu had already tried nearly every skill, item, and pill.

Except for the [Blood-Reversal Meridian Boost Pill]!

He’d stockpiled four of them but still hadn’t tested their effects.

[Reverse the blood, surge through meridians, break through barriers—reach the next realm in an instant.]

[When the meridians flow backward, that is the moment of effortless ascension.]

When he got the first one,

Lin Yu knew this thing wasn’t targeted—it randomly boosted something.

Now that he had four,

it was time to try one or two and see what happened.

After swallowing the first pill,

the system notification followed immediately…

[Ding!]

[Blood-Reversal Meridian Boost Pill consumed. Randomly selected: "External Skill: Bone-Melting Soft Fist"!]

[Congratulations, Host! You’ve mastered the Bone-Melting Soft Fist to perfection!]

The enhanced—or rather, perfected—version of the Bone-Melting Soft Fist flooded Lin Yu’s mind as an information stream.

The effects of reaching mastery were incredibly obvious.

At this point, he was practically an immortal on earth.

Unless his opponent wielded top-tier sci-fi weaponry, almost no one could touch him.

Encouraged by the first pill’s success,

Lin Yu quickly swallowed the second one.

[Ding!]

[Blood-Reversal Meridian Boost Pill consumed. Randomly selected: "Secret Technique: Pleasure-Inducing Phoenix Finger"!]

[Congratulations, Host! You’ve upgraded "Pleasure-Inducing Phoenix Finger" to the advanced secret technique "Alluring Bone Creation Finger"!]

Lin Yu: "!!!"

Even foot massage techniques could level up?!

Who wouldn’t be stunned by this?

After two pills,

he didn’t hesitate before taking the third.

[Ding!]

[Blood-Reversal Meridian Boost Pill consumed. Randomly selected: "Internal Cultivation Method: Dream-Entry Art"!]

[Low-tier internal cultivation method. One pill only raises one level. Multiple pills can be invested when selected. Current remaining pills: "1." Proceed?]

Lin Yu: "!!!"

Damn it!

Advanced skills could take multiple pills at once?!

Why didn’t the system mention this earlier?!

After finally landing on something useful,

he only had two pills left.

Cursing the system internally,

he dumped his last Blood-Reversal Meridian Boost Pill into it.

[Congratulations, Host! Dream-Entry Art has advanced by two levels!]

[New function unlocked: Dream-Type Selection!]
