[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host! You have successfully completed the daily quest "Urgent Errand," earning 50 Sect Contribution Points and 100 Spirit Stones!]
After being promoted to the position of Sect Holy Son,
the Sect Contribution Points from daily quests didn’t increase.
But the monthly allowance of Spirit Stones skyrocketed several times over.
As expected, the higher the status, the greater the rewards!
Inside the room,
Shen Buyao sat pouting on the bed, scolding Lin Yu:
"Are you messing with your sister? You already guessed it was 'Big Moo,' yet you still played me!"
Shen Jiuyi chimed in from the side:
"If anyone’s playing tricks, it was you first. Lin Yu just went along with it."
Shen Buyao: "He acted so convincingly!"
Shen Jiuyi: "That’s because your acting was terrible by comparison."
Shen Buyao: "Big Moo! Whose side are you even on?"
Shen Jiuyi: "The side of fairness."
Shen Buyao: "!!!"
Shen Jiuyi: "..."
Seeing the two on the verge of settling their dispute physically,
Lin Yu stepped in:
"Yao Yao, she’s not wrong. If you don’t have the skills, maybe don’t take on tasks beyond you next time."
Shen Buyao: "Damn you, Lin Yu! You—"
Shen Jiuyi: "He called you 'Yao Yao.' He used to call you 'Sister Yao Yao.' The title’s changed."
A single, brutally honest remark instantly silenced Shen Buyao.
Her face even seemed to flush slightly.
[Ding!]
[Masterful Move! Using an affectionate nickname in front of close acquaintances has greatly increased your Dao Companion’s favor!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones]
Lin Yu: "???"
Did she just ambush him out of nowhere?
In Shen Jiuyi’s mind, there were no enemies—nor allies.
She just said whatever she observed, without holding back.
Lin Yu swiftly changed the subject:
"Yeah, 'Yao Yao' sounds more intimate. Right, Little Jiu?"
Shen Buyao burst into laughter:
"Pfft—HAHAHA!"
"Little Jiu… Got any objections? Little Jiu?"
Finally,
a flicker of displeasure crossed Shen Jiuyi’s usually calm and indifferent face.
It was like watching a robot stumped by an unanswerable question.
Whether positive or negative,
getting any emotional reaction from her stone-faced "Can’t-read-me" expression was a rare feat.
"Lin Yu, I don’t like that nickname."
"Even my father never called me that. It doesn’t sound good."
Her irritation vanished as quickly as it appeared, replaced by her usual analytical tone.
Lin Yu: "Well, I’m not your dad."
Shen Jiuyi’s frown deepened: "..."
[Ding!]
[Masterful Move! Standing up for your Dao Companion in front of a rival has greatly increased her favor!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones]
So that’s how it works.
Seems like he’s cracked the instruction manual for this antique sister and the mood swings of the Honorary Elder.
Shen Buyao laughed uncontrollably:
"HAHAHA…"
"Big Moo, why can’t you clap back? This is killing me!"
Shen Jiuyi: "He said, 'I’m not your grandpa either.'"
Shen Buyao: "HAHA—hic!???"
...
After some playful bickering,
Lin Yu hurried out to have breakfast.
Sister Ruirui had put in a lot of effort preparing it—he couldn’t keep her waiting.
As he was about to leave,
Shen Jiuyi brought up the matter weighing on her:
"Lin Yu, have you thought about my request?"
Shen Buyao cut in suspiciously:
"What request? Since when do you two have secrets?"
As part of a timed quest,
helping Shen Jiuyi with her divination was a given.
He’d already kept her waiting for dozens of hours. If he delayed further, the 72-hour window would expire by tomorrow.
"Not today. I’ll be out all day."
"If we need clear skies, it’ll have to be late at night."
"Tonight… the rain should stop around 1 AM."
"Ah, whatever. You’ve helped me earn money, so I’ll sacrifice some sleep."
Shen Buyao: "???"
Shen Jiuyi: "You can predict the weather? The forecast didn’t mention rain today."
Lin Yu: "Amateur. Weather forecasts are wrong half the time. Not only will it rain—it’ll start by morning."
Shen Buyao: "???"
Shen Jiuyi: "Impressive. I’ll trouble you tonight, then."
Lin Yu: "No need for formalities. Just come to my room later—and don’t show up empty-handed."
Shen Buyao: "What are you two even talking about? Can I join?"
Shen Jiuyi: "Relax, it’s completely innocent."
Shen Buyao: "What’s that supposed to mean? Who’s getting cuckolded here?"
Lin Yu: "..."
...
Soon after,
in the first-floor dining room,
Lin Yu ate with gusto.
No need for forced compliments—Sister Ruirui’s cooking was genuinely amazing!
The fully loaded wraps, in particular, were absolutely divine!
Lin Yu devoured three wraps, completely satisfied.
Even Aunt Qimeng, who usually had little appetite in the morning, ate two.
Chi Qingshui, glowing with pride, managed one.
Chi Qingchi demolished four and was already reaching for a fifth.
"Sister Ruirui… munch… this is incredible! The best!" Chi Qingchi mumbled through a full mouth.
Sister Ruirui smiled and nodded:
"Glad you like it. There’s plenty more—help yourself."
Chi Qingshui sighed at her sister’s lack of decorum:
"Thank you, Sister Ruirui. Qingchi’s so excited she’s not even making sense."
Sister Ruirui frowned, tasting one of the side dishes:
"Qingshui, did I forget to salt one of these?"
Everyone: "..."
Lin Yu set down his chopsticks and gave a thumbs-up:
"Sister Ruirui, your skills are unmatched—right up there with Aunt Qimeng."
"If you three keep cooking like this, I’ll never eat out again. Nothing else compares."
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host! You’ve completed the urgent quest "Elder’s Gratitude"!]
[The Holy Son’s satisfaction with the spiritual cuisine has delighted the Beast Garden Elder!]
[Reward: 200 Sect Contribution Points, 400 Spirit Stones, 1 free system shop draw.]
[Ding!]
[Congratulations! Your relationship with the Beast Garden Elder has deepened, reaching Tier 5—"Inseparable Bonds"!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones]
Listening to the system notifications, Lin Yu felt deeply content.
This morning had been incredibly fulfilling.
If only every urgent quest could be this easy.
Nearby, Chi Qingchi swallowed her food and asked curiously:
"Lin Yu, why ‘you three’? Isn’t it just Aunt Qimeng and Sister Ruirui?"
Lin Yu glanced at Chi Qingshui:
"Your sister’s cooking is amazing too!"
Chi Qingshui: "!!!"
[Ding!]
[Masterful Move! Sincere praise has warmed your Dao Companion’s heart!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones]
Chi Qingchi leaned closer, whispering:
"Lin Yu, you’re so smooth. No wonder Sis bought your favorite drink today."
Though others couldn’t hear,
Chi Qingshui sensed trouble. She pulled her sister back:
"Don’t spray food crumbs when talking. It’s rude."
"Lin Yu… we leave in half an hour. Will you be ready?"
...
(First update of the day. Extra chapter tonight as promised~)
g Yu was preparing for retirement when her organization decided to eliminate her. She transmigrated to a zombie apocalypse world. However, a tiny unexpected situation occurred: She somehow transformed into an adorable little girl?!
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
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!" "......"

Before recovering his memories, Jiang Liu must navigate this minefield of lies and sincerity, fighting to protect himself from these women’s schemes.
