【Mao Ruirui (Elder of the Spirit Beast Garden)】
【Intimacy Level: 58% (Fifth Realm, Intimate as One)】
【Wild Beast Training (Urgent Task * New): A newly acquired spirit beast in the Spirit Beast Garden has gone mentally deranged, causing great headaches for the elders. It needs to be tamed within three days to eliminate its wild and frenzied nature (assist in dog training).】
【Preference Inquiry (Daily Task * New): After multiple contacts with the Holy Son, the elder of the Spirit Beast Garden has developed an unusual sense of submission and loyalty. She urgently needs to find out three of the Holy Son's preferences (clothes, food, and appearance).】
Looking at the two new tasks popping up on Mao Ruirui.
Lin Yu was confident.
So she wanted him to help train a dog.
No wonder she had just praised his dog - training skills.
Even if she had just called him directly to ask, Lin Yu wouldn't have been so unaccommodating as to refuse.
Presumably, Sister Ruirui wasn't just being polite.
She probably had the intention of the "Preference Inquiry" task.
She wanted to find an excuse to have more contact with Lin Yu and get to know him better.
Oh, the Hundred Beast Token!
Invisibly, you've influenced such a wonderful sister.
Presumably in Sister Ruirui's heart.
She must be strongly suspicious of this inexplicable "submission and loyalty".
Maybe she's thinking:
Is this... love?
As a beneficiary.
Lin Yu actually... felt pretty good!
He had to cooperate.
Whatever she wanted to know about him, he'd tell her everything he knew.
He sat down at the table with Mao Ruirui.
Seeing only two plates of fruits on the table, Mao Ruirui thought it was a bit plain and was afraid she wasn't being a good host.
So.
After sitting down, she stood up again and said,
"I have a few bags of peanuts and melon seeds. I'll go and get them."
"Xiaoyu, wait for me a moment."
Lin Yu leaned back in the chair calmly and said,
"Sister Ruirui, the fruits are fine. Come back and sit down."
Mao Ruirui had just taken a step out.
Hearing Lin Yu's definite "instruction", she immediately sat back down obediently.
"Okay, then let's just eat the fruits."
After sitting back,
Mao Ruirui began to scold herself inwardly.
Maybe Xiaoyu was just being polite!
He didn't want her to be so busy, so of course he was being politely courteous.
How could she really just sit back down?
It seemed as if...
She was reluctant to take out the snacks for Xiaoyu to eat.
However.
Since she had already sat back.
Standing up again would only make it even more awkward.
Lin Yu was quite satisfied with Mao Ruirui's reaction.
He picked up the grapes from the plate and ate them leisurely, completely at ease.
There was no need to be reserved or shy!
Even if he just lay down and ate now, Sister Ruirui would probably think it was perfectly reasonable.
It was true that the room was rented by Mao Ruirui, but the host was no longer her.
"They're so sweet. Sister Ruirui, you eat too."
"Let's eat and talk. Is there something you want to tell me?"
Lin Yu pointed at the fruit plate on the table and said generously.
Mao Ruirui didn't even find it strange.
In her own room, she was acting like a guest, following Lin Yu's requests.
Mao Ruirui started eating the grapes and said,
"Xiaoyu, there's something I want to discuss with you. See when you're free..."
"Recently, someone gave Xiaoxiao's parents a Labrador. But when the dog got to their home, it's very protective of its food."
"It's usually very gentle and obedient, but when it comes to eating, it won't let anyone get close."
"You have the best dog - training skills among the people I know."
"So I'm wondering if you could go to Xiaoxiao's home and take a look..."
"If you're too busy, it's okay. Xiaoxiao just asked me to check with you."
Lin Yu nodded thoughtfully.
So it wasn't a dog from the pet store.
It was the pet of Chang Xiaoxiao, the clerk!
Lin Yu had a good impression of this "Junior Xiaoxiao" with high - degree myopia around Sister Ruirui. She was a hard - working and enthusiastic girl.
Helping once would make both the sister and the junior owe him a favor.
It was worth taking the time to do it.
Moreover.
There was also the reward for the urgent task!
What Lin Yu could easily agree to, in front of Mao Ruirui, he naturally exaggerated a bit.
"I only know a little bit about dog training."
"If you think I can do it, Sister Ruirui, I can give it a try."
"I might not have time this Sunday. I have something to do and I don't know when I'll be back."
"If it's Monday, it'll probably have to be in the morning."
"Is it at your store or at her home?"
Lin Yu reluctantly agreed with a troubled expression.
Mao Ruirui quickly said,
"Monday is fine!"
"I can ask Xiaoxiao's parents to bring the dog to the store first."
"Everything will be based on your time. If there's something unexpected, you can cancel it at any time."
Lin Yu's agreement made Mao Ruirui very happy.
The time wasn't a problem at all.
"Okay, then it'll be Monday morning. I'll send you a message before I go to the store."
"Sister Ruirui, where did you buy these grapes?"
"I usually love eating grapes the most!"
After finishing the business talk, it was time to talk about personal matters.
Lin Yu casually threw out the bait, waiting for the hostess... to take the hook.
【Ding!】
[Brilliant move! Gathering information about the fruit the Holy Son likes has greatly delighted the elder of the Spirit Beast Garden!]
[Reward: 20 spirit stones]
Lin Yu: "???"
Is this really something to be excited about?
Hundred Beasts Token!
Just look at the mess you've made!
Mao Ruirui beamed with a happy smile and said,
"It's in the market, a fruit shop I often go to."
"Xiao Yu, you like grapes?
Then I'll buy some more and bring them back for you when I get off work tomorrow."
"I'm always troubling you... I'm really a bit embarrassed."
Lin Yu waved his hand indifferently:
"Among friends, it's all about helping each other."
Mao Ruirui followed Lin Yu's topic and continued to ask,
"Xiao Yu, are there any other things you like to eat?
There's not much work at the shop tomorrow. I'm planning to go out and have a good stroll."
Lin Yu rubbed the bridge of his nose and thought to himself.
He wondered how many items he should list for the system task of [clothes, food, desires] to be considered qualified.
Anyway, listing more items, Sister Ruirui wouldn't blame him, and it might even reach the threshold of her excitement.
So Lin Yu simply said,
"Sister Ruirui, I'm not a picky eater. There are many things I like.
Among fruits, I like grapes, nectarines, lychees, ugly tangerines..."
[Ding!]
[Brilliant move...]
[Brilliant move...]
"The dishes I like are prawns in oil, sweet and sour pork strips, shredded meat with eggs and fungus, and diced chicken with chili..."
[Brilliant move...]
[Brilliant move...]
The more Lin Yu said, the more surprised he became. With each additional item, Sister Ruirui's eyes would light up a bit more.
As he listed more things, she even took out her phone and started typing to take notes!
After listing one thing after another.
Lin Yu thought the groundwork was almost done.
So...
"The colors of clothes I like are..."
"Ah! I'm so confused by this chat. Why am I talking about this? This isn't food."
Lin Yu stopped in time and accurately noticed the instant look of disappointment on Mao Ruirui's face.
M，ao Ruirui hesitated for a moment and said with a smile,
"Haha, when friends chat, it's okay to talk about some life topics, right?"
Lin Yu thought to himself:
It's not my initiative, though!

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
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.

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!
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
