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?”
……

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. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
