Three minutes later.
Ye Mengfu stood motionless: "..."
Lin Yu leaned against the window: "..."
Damn.
Today was truly eye-opening.
The divine sisters in this apartment were like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea—each with their own unique skills.
And this tall girl in front of him? Her "skill stats" were maxed out.
Lin Yu couldn’t help but wonder—if he stood behind her for half an hour,
would she keep facing the door like she was being punished?
"Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong..."
A phone rang from the pocket of Ye Mengfu’s outfit.
Lin Yu straightened up, curious to see how she’d react.
But—
Ye Mengfu remained frozen: "..."
Lin Yu was thoroughly defeated. Breaking the silence first, he asked:
"Your phone’s ringing. Aren’t you gonna answer?"
At his voice, Ye Mengfu’s shoulders visibly twitched.
Then,
her hands fumbled around inside her pockets.
She didn’t even pull out the phone, but the ringing stopped.
Lin Yu: "..."
Seriously?!
You’re just not gonna answer?
Still, her reaction just now gave Lin Yu an idea.
She might not speak, but she responded to his words.
He decided to test it further: "Turn around."
Ye Mengfu’s stiff posture visibly slumped.
Under Lin Yu’s astonished gaze, she slowly bowed her head and turned.
Lin Yu: "!!!"
This obedient?!
Could she really be his online girlfriend?
Otherwise, why would she listen to him so readily?
A children’s book illustrator as his online girlfriend… not bad at all.
Working with kids and art, plus being this socially awkward—she must be incredibly pure.
Though she was two years older, in terms of presence, Lin Yu clearly had the upper hand.
Bolstered, he pointed at the door and said:
"You made me wait at the door forever. Why didn’t you open it? Open it now."
Hearing this, Ye Mengfu peeked up at him.
But the moment she noticed Lin Yu watching, she quickly lowered her head again, fishing for her keys in her pocket.
[Ding!]
[Masterstroke move! The Joyous Sect Talisman Envoy actually opened her fragrant boudoir for you—a golden chance to deepen your bond!]
[Reward: 20 Spirit Stones]
Joyous Sect Talisman Envoy!
So that was Ye Mengfu’s sect title.
Sounded way more impressive than Chi Qingchi’s "Bell Envoy."
Who would’ve thought?
His "online girlfriend" was this docile and sweet.
Back then, he’d been a fool to let such a comfortable, good girl slip away.
Just as Lin Yu was lost in thought—
Ye Mengfu, having unlocked the door, swiftly slipped inside.
And immediately tried to slam it shut...
Lin Yu’s eyes widened: "!!!"
Oh, come on!
He’d just silently praised her, and now she was pulling a vanishing act?
At this distance, with his reflexes, there was no way he’d let her shut him out.
Trying to lock her boyfriend outside?
Unacceptable!
Inside the room,
Ye Mengfu let out a tiny sigh of relief after slipping in.
...
Just ten minutes earlier,
she’d gone up to the third floor.
Hoping to see her only close friend in the apartment—Mo Shangying.
But before she could knock, strange noises from inside stopped her cold.
"Stop… it hurts… I can’t take it… mmm…"
Mo Shangying’s voice, mixed with a guy’s:
"You’re holding up well? Let me go harder, here it comes..."
The only guy in the apartment?
There was only one possibility!
...
Ye Mengfu was socially anxious, not stupid.
She knew enough about what went on between men and women.
After rushing back to her room, it took her forever to calm down.
Her best friend, in broad daylight, doing… that… and she’d accidentally eavesdropped.
Flustered, she decided to go out for a walk in the park to clear her head.
But of course—
She ran straight into Lin Yu on the stairs!
Maybe it was the guilt of "eavesdropping" that made her feel like a thief.
Her first instinct? Avoid him at all costs.
Yet somehow,
Lin Yu had cornered her.
Thankfully, she’d managed to unlock the door and dart inside.
As long as the door was shut, whether demons or monsters raged outside, she’d be safe!
But—
Ye Mengfu pushed with all her might, only to realize the door wouldn’t close.
Peeking through the gap, her heart nearly stopped.
Lin Yu’s foot was wedged in the doorway!
Worried she might hurt him if she kept pushing, she instantly let up.
Not that it mattered.
With Lin Yu’s current physical prowess,
there was no way a slightly taller girl could overpower him.
Compared to the faint pain in his foot, Lin Yu’s irritation burned hotter.
Oh, "Dreaming in the Rain" (her online alias),
you think you can lock your boyfriend out and hide?
Today, he’d teach her who was in charge.
The moment Ye Mengfu eased up, Lin Yu shoved the door open and strode in like he owned the place.
Ye Mengfu instantly reverted to startled-deer mode, scrambling backward until she bumped into an easel on the floor.
Click.
Lin Yu locked the door behind him.
At the sound, Ye Mengfu panicked completely.
Staring at the lock, she finally forced out two words:
"Don’t..."
She was too tense.
In public, she could barely speak to strangers.
Now, trapped in her own room with a guy?
That pitiful "don’t" nearly unleashed the beast in Lin Yu.
It was straight out of a cheesy romance scene, leaving his throat dry.
Lin Yu adopted the domineering tone of a "boyfriend" and demanded:
"You say ‘don’t’ and I’m supposed to listen? You giving me orders now?"
"You ran the second you saw me. Might as well have ‘guilty conscience’ written on your face."
"Can’t even keep a secret to save your life."
"So… it’s you, right?"
Lin Yu’s question, of course, referred to her being his online girlfriend.
But to Ye Mengfu, it meant something else entirely.
Her fingers twisted nervously in front of her as she kept her head down, refusing to answer.
Lin Yu feigned leaving:
"Fine. Won’t admit it? No problem."
"I’ll just go tell everyone about the sneaky things you’ve done to me."
"Starting with Mo Shangying upstairs..."
That hit Ye Mengfu’s weak spot.
Mo Shangying was her only friend in the apartment!
Even if she’d only overheard by accident, if Lin Yu framed it as her "eavesdropping,"
how could she ever face Mo Shangying again?
For someone with social anxiety, making friends was hard enough!
"Stop..."
Ye Mengfu blurted out, her voice louder than usual.
Lin Yu smirked, turning back.
"Ready to confess now?"
Ye Mengfu had no choice.
With a resigned nod, she surrendered.
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
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. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
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.
