Tang Yimian: "This... this thing... is most longing..."
A simple final line.
Yet it drained the last of Tang Yimian's remaining strength.
Elder Lin's forceful intrusion left her utterly unprepared.
So this...
Was this what Elder Lin meant by "reading aloud"?
What a terrifying... method!
After reciting it once, combined with Elder Lin's actions,
Tang Yimian felt she could never look at this poem about longing the same way again.
[Ding!]

[Ding!]

[Reward: 100 sect contribution points, 200 spirit stones.]
[Dao Companion's Sect Identity: Elder of the Transmission Hall]
[...]
[Friendly Reminder: As Dao Companion count increases, new prize categories have been added to the lottery pool.]
Finally!
Under Lin Yu's relentless assault, the Soul Cultivation trial mission was completed.
She and her junior had officially entered the stage of being Soul Cultivation Dao Companions.
Indeed.
Sometimes brute force isn't the act of a fool—it depends entirely on the target.
And now...
Lin Yu: "..."
He was reluctant to withdraw his hands just yet.
Especially seeing Tang Yimian's submissive posture and her unresisting compliance!
At this moment,
Tang Yimian's heart was also plunged into deep doubt.
Was what Lin Yu—her junior—was doing now crossing the line of instructional guidance?
Last night, they had shared their first kiss.
And today, it had escalated to this.
How was she supposed to face him afterward?
Why hadn't she resisted earlier?
If she had put up a fiercer struggle, surely Lin Yu would have stopped, right?
So... this outcome couldn't be blamed on him—it was her own silent permission!
What should she do now?
Should she speak up and call for a halt?
Even if she couldn't remember the exact "stop phrase," surely a firm request would suffice?
But if she did, would Lin Yu take it as ingratitude—as if she were rejecting his sincere efforts to teach her?
Ah! This was agony!
Tang Yimian's inner turmoil raged on as time slipped away.
Lin Yu's movements grew increasingly bold,
leaving her more and more powerless to resist, her body growing weaker by the second.
Even bracing against the desk—something so simple—now felt impossible.
She was on the verge of sliding right off...
But just as she began to slip,
an unyielding support suddenly blocked her descent.
Tang Yimian: "!!!"
In an instant,
the strength she had lost came flooding back.
No matter how innocent she was, Tang Yimian knew exactly what was propping her up.
She desperately pressed closer to the desk, trying to put distance between herself and Lin Yu.
Tang Yimian: "Lin—"
Lin Yu: "I didn't say stop. Keep reciting."
Tang Yimian: "I—"
Lin Yu: "Continue."
Faced with Lin Yu's sharp, authoritative command,
Tang Yimian hesitated only briefly before obeying.
"Red beans grow in southern lands..."
"In spring... how many branches sprout..."
"May you... gather them... abundantly!"
"..."
Lin Yu had completely trapped her against the desk, advancing relentlessly.
Unless she climbed onto the desk itself,
there was no escape.
"I didn't say stop. Keep reciting."
Hearing Tang Yimian falter again,
Lin Yu swiftly reinforced his order.
"Red beans grow in southern lands..."
Tang Yimian's voice resumed, trembling.
At this moment,
she fully grasped just how "terrifying" the persona Lin Yu had crafted truly was.
It was as if a primal fear of "such a person" had taken root in her heart.
The only thought left in her mind:
Do as he says.
Until—
The cool breeze that should have brushed against her sleepwear
somehow, through Lin Yu's subtle maneuvering,
slid right past and touched her bare skin.
"Don't... don't do this..."
"Elder Lin!"
"I—I've learned it!"
The "stop phrase" eluded her completely.
All she knew was that if she didn't speak up now, something irreversible might happen.
Yet—
Even after her plea,
Lin Yu showed no signs of stopping.
Instead, he pressed her head down onto the book spread across the desk.
Tang Yimian: "!!!"
He wasn’t stopping?
Had she phrased it wrong? Had he misunderstood?
Or was it because she hadn’t recited the exact "stop phrase"—
meaning, in his mind, the lesson wasn’t over?
But...
That long, convoluted phrase—she truly couldn’t remember it!
In this suffocating tension,
she couldn’t even recall the simplest opening words,
let alone which lesson’s stop phrase was needed.
Now that they had entered the Soul Cultivation Dao Companion stage,
Lin Yu had no fear of Tang Yimian running away.
Nor did he intend to force their relationship into the Physical Cultivation stage prematurely.
His refusal to stop now had one purpose:
To make her deeply understand—
In this instructional game,
how crucial it was to memorize the stop phrase.
What consequences would follow if she failed.
Otherwise,
how could he weave further "lessons" into their future games?
Lin Yu nudged the inside of her foot,
forcing her stance to widen slightly.
Such a small motion,
yet its impact was devastating.
Tang Yimian was utterly terrified.
But how could her strength possibly rival Lin Yu’s?
Even in this frantic state,
her mind defaulted to self-blame—
This was her fault.
She hadn’t memorized the stop phrase.
If she had, none of this would be happening.
Her extraordinary mental gymnastics led her to another thought:
If they were still in the "lesson,"
was there another way to make Lin Yu stop?
And—astonishingly—
she actually thought of one.
Tang Yimian raised both hands above her head in surrender.
If resistance was futile, she might as well submit entirely.
Lin Yu: "???"
What was this?
A moment ago, she had been adamantly opposed.
Now... what was this posture?
Then—
Tang Yimian spoke:
"President Lin... today isn’t a good day for me... Could we... not do this today?"
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Only Tang Yimian could pull this off!
Who would’ve thought of such a solution?
...
(Second update today. Only 163 more "Power of Love" activations until the next bonus chapter. Looks like tonight might be another productive one—I’ll get back to writing. Given the recent two-day ban, I hope you’ll all show your support. Writing isn’t easy!)
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao!
