The next moment.
The sensation of stepping on clouds intensified further.
Shen Buyao felt the world spin around her, her vision completely blocked by Lin Yu's face.
She wanted to close her eyes.
Yet, she couldn’t bring herself to.
This was her first kiss with a man!
The realness of their lips meeting, the softness of the touch—her heart raced wildly.
So this was what the first step of love between a man and a woman felt like!
In her younger years,
Shen Buyao, like any other girl, had indulged in countless beautiful fantasies.
But when those dreams were weighed against her cursed fate of being a "lonely star,"
the more beautiful the fantasy, the deeper the despair in her heart.
Lin Yu’s arrival filled the void of her longing,
giving her the most genuine taste of romance in reality.
"Lin Yu!"
"Wait, wait—don’t get up yet!"
Seeing Lin Yu rise, ready to shed his outer layer,
Shen Buyao hastily grabbed the hem of his clothes to stop him.
Lin Yu: "???"
"Buyao, are you... having second thoughts?"
After all, she was a fated partner who had fallen into his life.
Lin Yu couldn’t predict how his "antique sister" would react.
He had deliberately taken things slow,
waiting for the perfect moment before launching his full assault.
But now, Shen Buyao was...
As it turned out,
Lin Yu truly couldn’t read his antique sister’s mind.
Shen Buyao tried to sit up, but Lin Yu’s position atop her made it impossible.
Resigned,
she could only grip his hands and say,
"No, not second thoughts..."
"Again."
"Kiss me again..."
"That was too sudden... I didn’t get to savor it properly."
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Such a bold request!
Didn’t get enough of the taste and wanted another try?
In the past,
when Lin Yu had pursued his other fated partners,
each had been too shy to move, surrendering entirely to his lead.
But the experience with his antique sister was nothing like those with girls in their twenties.
Lin Yu couldn’t even predict what she’d say or do next—what counterattack she might launch.
How could he refuse such a request?
"Come here!"
"This time, do you want to close your eyes or keep them open to watch me?"
Shen Buyao: "..."
His words made her flush with embarrassment.
When she had secretly peeked at Lin Yu’s fierce advance earlier,
she was sure his eyes had been closed.
How did he notice she hadn’t shut hers?
Shen Buyao didn’t answer.
She simply closed her eyes softly, tilting her delicate face slightly,
waiting for Lin Yu’s next move.
In such a scene,
who could resist?
He’d kiss her senseless!
Lin Yu’s kissing skills were second only to his... ahem secret techniques.
Thud!
Whoosh—
Just as Lin Yu prepared for his next move,
the wooden bed frame collapsed on one side with a loud crash.
The mattress hit the floor, sending a gust of wind swirling.
Shen Buyao, lying on the mattress, remained unaffected.
But Lin Yu, caught mid-kneel while leaning down, wasn’t so lucky.
His momentum from the descent, combined with the sudden collapse, sent him tumbling forward uncontrollably.
Luckily,
his reflexes were sharp.
A quick roll absorbed the impact, and he landed smoothly on his feet.
Just inches in front of him,
stood a small table holding a half-human-tall blue-and-white porcelain vase.
Had he been even a fraction slower, he’d have smashed right into it.
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Damn it!
Got too carried away in the heat of battle.
Almost forgot about Shen Buyao’s cursed fate.
They weren’t even that heavy—how did they manage to break the bed?
Now,
when the old butler returned,
Lin Yu would officially become the Shen family’s "honored guest of honor."
After all,
what kind of ordinary visitor
breaks the bed during a casual visit?
Thankfully, it was just the old butler—no need to worry too much.
If Buyao’s grandparents were still alive, they’d have skinned Lin Yu alive!
Shen Buyao, lying on the mattress, took a moment to collect herself
before hurriedly scrambling down to Lin Yu’s side.
"Lin Yu, are... are you okay?"
"This damn... this damn bed!"
"It’s probably been too long since anyone slept on it—the wood must’ve rotted!"
She could only curse the bed frame,
careful not to mention anything about her cursed fate.
She feared that if she did, Lin Yu might retreat.
But Shen Buyao was overthinking it.
Did she really think a little mishap like this would scare Lin Yu off?
If the heavens didn’t want him to proceed?
Well, today, he’d show them what "man proposes, heaven disposes" truly meant!
"I’m fine. I’m used to it."
"Honestly, I find it kind of fun!"
Ding!
A showstopping move! The Saint’s defiance of fate deepens his partner’s affection!
Reward: 50 spirit stones.
Shen Buyao, inexperienced in such matters,
felt her heart swell with overwhelming love.
She grabbed the fallen blanket and asked,
"The bed’s broken, but... we could always use the floor?"
Lin Yu’s gaze burned, his heart surging.
Such a thoughtful Buyao!
However,
Lin Yu glanced up at the ceiling.
The intricate wooden beams filled him with unease.
What if the roof caved in next?
That’d be even harder to explain.
Looking out the window, he asked,
"Buyao, how about we move to the courtyard?"
Shen Buyao: "!!!"
Their first time...
out in the open?
This Lin Yu—what kind of wild ideas was he harboring?!
But after a moment’s thought,
she realized she couldn’t blame him.
Compared to indoors,
the outdoors might actually be safer.
All because of her cursed fate.
She had no reason to refuse.
"The courtyard’s so big... where do you think would be best?"
Lin Yu pondered: "..."
Right.
Where would be ideal?
Was there anywhere absolutely safe?
After a brief pause,
Lin Yu suddenly remembered something.
"Buyao, when we passed through the courtyard earlier, I think I saw... a pavilion?"
Shen Buyao: "!!!"
Lin Yu: "!!!"
The moment he said it,
both of them recalled the scene from their shared dream.
Lin Yu had only glimpsed it briefly earlier, not paying much attention.
But now, looking back,
it seemed strikingly similar to the pavilion from the dream.
Somehow, Lin Yu felt—
perhaps this was Shen Buyao’s subconscious trying to tell him something...
The pavilion was a safe zone!!
At this moment,
Shen Buyao’s mind was flooded with images from the dream.
The surreal feeling of dreams merging with reality made her pulse quicken.
Far from resisting, she found herself eagerly anticipating it.
She gathered the blanket beside her, rolling it tightly into a bundle before hugging it to her chest.
Then, standing up, she asked,
"Should we bring this?"
Lin Yu swept his antique sister—blanket and all—into his arms and said,
"Buyao, you always think of everything!"
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?

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.
