Shen Buyao: "!!!"
Talking in her sleep?
Did she... did she usually have the habit of sleep-talking?
She had no idea about this.
Living alone most of the time, who would even tell her if she talked in her sleep?
She never should’ve let that damn cow stay over tonight!
If she’d just sent her home alone, this awkward situation wouldn’t have happened.
"You—you think everyone’s as filthy-minded as you?"
"I dreamed Lin Yu was about to jump off a building, and I was freaking out!"
"I spent forever trying to talk him out of it..."
Shen Buyao racked her brain and came up with what she thought was a plausible explanation.
However.
Shen Jiuyi sat there stark naked, nodding along as she said:
"Got it. So it was sleep persuasion."
"No wonder you were squirming like a... bitch in heat."
With that.
Shen Jiuyi picked up her phone and started admiring the footage she’d just recorded.
"Lin Yu, don’t—"
The familiar voice made Shen Buyao’s hair stand on end.
In one swift motion, she pinned Shen Jiuyi down and snatched the phone from her hands.
All night, she’d been stressed because that damn Lin Yu kept yelling about recording in her dream.
And now, in real life, she had an actual camerawoman right beside her!
This bitch had the audacity to record her while she was asleep!
"You damn cow, you’re such an animal! Even I’m not safe from your pervy filming?"
"Who’s the one acting like a horny mutt here?"
"You—you—what kind of twisted habit is this?!"
"Sleeping completely naked everywhere—who the hell taught you that? Some random guy?"
Shen Buyao ranted while frantically deleting the video from the phone.
Shen Jiuyi remained completely unfazed, just watching calmly.
Once Shen Buyao finished, she finally relaxed and tossed the phone back.
Freed from restraint, Shen Jiuyi smoothed her messy short hair, her expression as composed as ever.
She raised her index finger:
"First, my sleeping habits were formed in childhood. You should’ve known that already."
Then her middle finger:
"Second, the last word of that idiom is hang, not die. Are you illiterate?"
Next, she lifted the summer blanket:
"Third, I’m not completely naked."
Finally, she locked her phone screen:
"Fourth, deleting it is pointless. Photos and videos auto-sync to my tablet and laptop."
Shen Jiuyi coolly dissected every detail.
Shen Buyao’s temple throbbed with frustration.
Even though she was years older than this damn cow,
she was always the one being played like a fiddle.
And today...
Decades of pristine reputation—ruined in one night!
"I swear I’m gonna kill you. Let’s just end it all together, you damn cow!"
With that,
Shen Buyao prepared to pounce again.
But Shen Jiuyi lazily raised a hand and said:
"You having this dream isn’t surprising, really."
Shen Buyao froze mid-air: "..."
The damn cow got her.
Understood her down to every last cell.
Whatever she said next would surely be calculated to make her obedient.
Knowing she was being manipulated, Shen Buyao still huffed and sat back down:
"You’d better have a damn good analysis."
"And... I didn’t have the kind of dream you’re thinking!"
"It was just... something minor. Hard to describe."
Shen Jiuyi ignored her protests and launched into another lecture:
"Dream interpretation is a branch of divination."
"First, the undeniable fact is—you’re ready to give yourself to him anytime, and wildly so."
"Second—"
Before she could finish, Shen Buyao, burning with shame, yanked the blanket over Shen Jiuyi’s head.
"You dare talk to me like this in my own home?"
"Second, I’m gonna teach you a lesson right now!"
...
The apartment’s lovely nights usually ended at 7 a.m.
And without fail,
they concluded with a familiar chime:
[Ding!]
[Today is another hopeful day!]
[Host, continue exploring the Path of Joyful Union. Strive to become the pillar of our sect!]
Lin Yu stretched and began his day with eager anticipation.
While brushing his teeth, he checked today’s system panel:

[Astrology Pavilion Honorary Elder’s Request (Heart Like Still Water +100%)]
As Lin Yu scanned the panel, his toothbrushing paused abruptly.
Becoming the sect’s Holy Son was already a pleasant surprise,
but now—
a new elder had appeared in the system:
The Astrology Pavilion’s honorary elder!
Anyone could guess who that referred to.
Shen Jiuyi!
She was here? In the apartment?
Sleeping in Antique Sis’s room?
Before, her info panel had been garbled, completely unreadable.
Turns out, she had to be within the sect for the system to recognize her as an ally.
And the daily mission about her meant...
No spare slippers?
...

s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
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.
nto another world, I bought a slave for the first time, never expecting the silver wolf girl to be so cute... Lin Feng: I know it's cold, but you don't have to sneak into my bed! Yuna: Just sharing body warmth, if you dare do anything naughty, I'll definitely...
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.
