The agreed meeting time with Little Fufu was set for 9:30 AM.
I finished packing everything I needed to bring ahead of time.
First, I planned to swing by the "new place" in the neighborhood to spend a little time with Wang Biao—there’d still be enough time.
Walking along the hallway of the new place, there was another small gate in the residential complex.
Lin Yu sent a message to Little Fufu, telling her they’d meet at the small gate.
The apartment was bustling early in the morning with residents coming and going.
Slipping out through the side gate for their date would save them from unnecessary trouble.
Going out with Little Fufu meant having to prepare quite a few things.
Disposable bedsheets, disposable duvet covers, disposable pillowcases, disposable…
Damn it!
This was the persona I’d created for myself.
Now I had to stick to the act, no matter how ridiculous—no slip-ups allowed!
Especially before sealing the deal, every little detail had to be perfect.
Sure, the saying "when you’re out in the world, your identity is what you make it" carries a lot of weight.
But sometimes, juggling too many identities can land you in hot water.
I couldn’t help but worry that one day…
I’d call Brother Tian to move goods, then dial Hei Chai to have someone arrested.
After packing his bag, Lin Yu double-checked everything.
Only when he was sure nothing was missing did he carry it downstairs.
When no one was looking, he placed it on a chair in the corner.
Aunt Qimeng had left Lin Yu a WeChat message at 6:30 AM.
She and Huang Feirong had left early for the shop.
A big shipment of fresh flowers had arrived, and they needed to receive them first thing.
About breakfast, Aunt Qimeng had even apologized, telling Lin Yu he’d have to fend for himself today.
Too bad.
Aunt Qimeng had no idea.
Given Lin Yu’s current status in the sect, why would he need to lift a finger for a meal?
As soon as he reached the first-floor lobby, the familiar aroma of dough drop soup hit him.
Ah, the resilience of youth—recovery was quick!
After all the chaos yesterday, someone still had the energy to wake up early and cook.
"Morning, Big Chi and Little Chi!"
"The dining area’s so quiet today—just the two of you?"
Lin Yu walked into the dining area and greeted the sisters, who were dressed in identical pajamas.
Hearing Lin Yu’s voice, Chi Qingshui, standing by the stove, turned around and shot him a loaded look.
In a tone that suggested nothing more than a casual classmate relationship, she said:
"Everyone’s probably busy with their own work. Not everyone’s on summer break like us."
"Have you eaten yet? Want me to save you a bowl of soup?"
"Though… I already added vinegar."
Lin Yu nodded, suppressing a laugh.
Oh, well played.
This little grudge-holder.
Once she’d put the pieces together, she’d clearly spent a lot of time replaying the past few days in her head.
Looking back with the knowledge that Lin Yu had known she was "Dreaming in the Rain" all along,
there were indeed plenty of details worth analyzing.
But so what?
What’s broken can’t be unbroken.
Can time rewind? I’m asking you—can time rewind?
Hahaha, it’s over!
Besides.
The look on Little Qingshui’s face wasn’t anger.
It was just their special brand of "flirting."
Before Lin Yu could respond,
an untimely voice cut through their charged exchange—
"Lin Yu doesn’t like vinegar, sis. Don’t force him."
"Look at my bowl—no oil, no steamed buns."
"Can you feed your own sister first before worrying about someone else?"
Little Chi held up her empty bowl, eyes full of hope as she stared at the stove.
Chi Qingshui: "…"
Lin Yu: "…"
Sometimes, Lin Yu envied people with simple minds.
No matter what you said to them,
they stayed laser-focused on their own world, completely unfazed.
"I can handle a little vinegar. Can’t go out on an empty stomach, right?"
"Little Chi, you’re really something."
"Have I ever let you just stand there drooling while I cook?"
One sentence.
And the little foodie was left speechless.
Lin Yu took the chance to glance at the sisters’ current "missions."
Little Chi’s list was still packed with "snack-related" tasks.
No emergencies—just pure, uncomplicated cravings.
She was truly carefree, with no desires beyond her appetite.
As for her sister…
[Chi Qingshui (Pavilion of Forgotten Tomes Elder)]
[Whispered Affections (Daily Task New): Having tentatively established a cultivation partnership with the Holy Son, she secretly longs for occasional intimate exchanges to deepen their bond (Daily Close Interactions).]
Once desire took root, there was no taking it back.
Lin Yu’s mind raced as he approached Little Chi.
Chi Qingchi set down her empty bowl and said sheepishly:
"Lin Yu, don’t be mad. I’ll go get you a bowl."
Lin Yu quickly stopped her.
"Don’t worry about it. I’ll grab one myself. If you’re free, though, could you help me open some packages?"
"Four just arrived—all snacks I ordered online."
Chi Qingchi’s eyes lit up instantly. "!!!"
"Lin Yu, you bought that many snacks?"
"You… gulp…"
"Can you even finish them all?"
"Listen, it’s summer—a lot of snacks have short shelf lives!"
Lin Yu smirked inwardly.
No need for elaborate schemes.
Just dangle the bait, and Little Chi would bite.
"Alright, alright, you make a good point."
"I only bought so much because there was a discount."
"After you open them, take two bags or two boxes of each. Consider it my treat for you and Big Chi."
Lin Yu said it casually, but Little Chi still hesitated.
She glanced at her sister, silently pleading.
Knowing her sister’s principles, she’d probably refuse anything that felt like taking advantage.
Chi Qingshui’s heart raced as she looked at Lin Yu.
She was sharp—she knew exactly what he was doing.
This was a classic "lure the tiger away from the mountain" move.
If Little Chi left the dining area,
it’d just be the two of them alone…
Not to mention,
she had to think of a way to explain it without raising Little Chi’s suspicions.
Finally, she sighed and shook her head at Little Chi.
"Do you really have no snacks in our room?"
"Just take a little—only for yourself. I’m not that greedy."
"And next time, remember to buy some for Lin Yu too."
Chi Qingchi beamed.
"Got it!!"
"I’ll only take a tiny bit! The rest will go straight to Lin Yu’s room!"
"Lin Yu, can I borrow your room key? I’ll handle everything!"
For the sake of snacks,
Little Chi was willing to go the extra mile.
Lin Yu had no reason to refuse and handed her the key.
Once Little Chi had scampered off,
Lin Yu casually slid the dining room’s folding door halfway shut.
By the stove,
Chi Qingshui tugged at her apron, biting her lip as she scolded:
"Don’t think I don’t know what you’re doing—trying to get rid of Little Chi."
"Honestly, what do you even want to say that you can’t—mmph!"
Before she could finish,
Lin Yu’s lips were already pressed firmly against hers.

agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!!

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side.

So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
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.
