Chi Qingshui, who had momentarily lost her voice, instinctively thought that her younger sister Xiao Chi would return soon.
So.
She quickly pushed Lin Yu, trying to calm him down.
But.
The feeble strength in her hands not only failed to resist him.
Instead, under Lin Yu’s domineering advance, she grew increasingly powerless.
In the end.
Her resistance melted into tenderness, her arms winding around Lin Yu’s neck.
Responding to his morning declaration of affection.
Even though they had spent so much time together just yesterday.
After just one night apart.
Chi Qingshui felt as if an entire century had passed.
All reason and pride were temporarily set aside.
Leaving only passionate reciprocation…
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host! You have successfully completed the daily quest ‘Secret Affection,’ earning 100 Sect Contribution Points and 150 Spirit Stones!]
Getting such generous rewards so effortlessly was truly wonderful.
After becoming cultivation partners.
The rewards for daily quests now rivaled those of urgent missions.
What a shame.
If only Elder Sister had as many daily quests as Younger Sister.
After a long, lingering embrace, Chi Qingshui finally regained her senses when she felt a mischievous hand wandering beneath her apron.
“Lin Yu, don’t get too carried away!”
She pulled his hand out and pinched his arm in mock reprimand.
Lin Yu pretended to be hurt, dodging her playful retaliation.
“Can you blame me? My lovely wife is just too beautiful and virtuous.”
“Wearing that apron, you look exactly like a devoted homemaker.”
“How could I possibly resist?”
Lin Yu openly admitted his wicked thoughts.
Hearing this, Chi Qingshui bit her lip, struggling to hold back a smile.
[Ding!]
[Masterful Move! The display of affection between cultivation partners has deeply impressed the Elder of the Scripture Pavilion!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones]
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host! Your relationship with the Elder of the Scripture Pavilion has deepened, advancing to the Ninth Realm—‘Yin-Yang Dual Bond’!]
[Reward: 100 Spirit Stones]
The first cultivation partner to reach the Ninth Realm had appeared!
Looking at the information panel above Chi Qingshui, the intimacy level was now at [91%].
Perhaps the Ninth Realm wasn’t the highest.
Would there be another realm if they reached 100%?
They had already dated, slept together—yet they still hadn’t hit 100%.
It seemed the only way forward was to keep at it, day and night.
“Don’t say such things so openly at home…”
“It’s fine when we’re alone, but if someone hears, you’re dead!”
Chi Qingshui grabbed a nearby ladle and waved it threateningly at Lin Yu.
Then.
She turned away to fetch a bowl and serve him soup.
Admiring Chi Qingshui’s graceful figure, Lin Yu felt a deep sense of contentment.
How he wished the rest of the “family” would leave, leaving just the two of them alone.
Who said aprons didn’t count as uniforms?
They had their own unique allure!
……
Around 7:30 a.m.
Lin Yu and the Chi sisters finished breakfast together.
During the meal.
They chatted and laughed about yesterday’s “movie.”
Lin Yu and his wife exchanged coded remarks, subtly flirting right under the younger sister’s nose.
After eating.
Lin Yu volunteered to wash the dishes.
But Chi Qingshui proudly “scolded” him, telling him to stay out of it.
Ah, if this wasn’t love…
In the past few days, at this hour.
The “outer disciple” Du Miaomiao would have long been awake, helping the Holy Son complete the sect’s daily tasks.
But today, she didn’t appear in the living room until 7:30, her colorful hair disheveled.
Clearly, the phantom pains from last night’s dream had affected her.
“Morning, Miaomiao.”
Lin Yu greeted her warmly, pulling up her information panel.
[Du Miaomiao (Outer Disciple)]
[Flesh-and-Blood Vow (Soul Cultivation Trial QuestNew): The forbidden love between an outer disciple and the sect’s Holy Son in her dreams has left Du Miaomiao deeply unsettled. With no experience in romance, she must clarify her feelings in daily life.]
[This quest has no time limit.]
Lin Yu: “???”
A Soul Cultivation trial quest?
Already?
That was fast!
Last night’s bold moves in the dream actually had such an effect!
Looking back.
His past actions in the dream world had been far too conservative.
Du Miaomiao’s reaction had given him a whole new perspective.
[Clarify her feelings in daily life]…
Such a vague description, with no specific triggers.
No restrictions were the biggest restriction of all.
Checking their intimacy level, it had only just reached the Fifth Realm.
Rushing things wouldn’t help complete this trial quest.
“Good morning, Yu.”
Du Miaomiao replied timidly, quickly avoiding his gaze.
Normally, she was always full of energy around him.
Now, she wore her guilt plainly on her face.
Even more absurdly.
When she noticed Lin Yu still watching her.
Du Miaomiao suddenly sped up, slipping out the door into the courtyard.
Lin Yu was left half a beat behind.
Lin Yu: “???”
She ran?
Actually ran away?
Pfft…
A trained professional wouldn’t laugh—unless they couldn’t help it.
This little one was just too amusing.
Lin Yu chased after her, making sure to close the door behind him.
Though the courtyard was open.
The moment Lin Yu stepped outside.
Du Miaomiao acted as if they’d entered a private, enclosed space.
The unease from her dream instantly resurfaced.
She clasped her hands behind her back, fidgeting nervously.
Lin Yu approached, feigning ignorance.
“Why did you run?”
Du Miaomiao blinked up at him. “I didn’t… run.”
Lin Yu: “You did. Are you avoiding me?”
Du Miaomiao: “……”
The poor girl was terrible at lying.
She could’ve just said “no” or made up an excuse.
But faced with the choice.
She chose silence.
Her thoughts were an open book.
Being too harsh with her would only make him feel guilty.
Lin Yu changed tactics.
“Is it because I beat you at work last night? Do you hate me now?”
“I thought we were good friends… partners…”
Du Miaomiao’s eyes widened, and she waved her hands frantically.
“Yu, no! That’s not it at all!”
Lin Yu held up a hand, his expression pained.
“Don’t explain. I get it.”
“I guess we just can’t get along like partners.”
Du Miaomiao grew visibly distressed. “That’s really not true…”
Lin Yu paused. “Then what is it?”
Du Miaomiao twisted her fingers together, her expression shifting.
“Last night, I had a dream… we were holding hands… and when I woke up…”
Lin Yu: “……”
“Why does that sound like a song?”

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later."

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.

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?

Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
