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!]
saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes. This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
