Lin Yu found himself doubting once again.
Was Chi Qingchi actually reading proper manga?
Even if it was about a "dummy," it had to be some ridiculously twisted version!
Based on Chi Qingchi’s dialogue feedback,
the setting was still urban fantasy.
Otherwise,
the blue glow on Chi Qingchi’s dagger would be completely unexplainable.
As the big boss, Lin Yu should have some special abilities too, right?
But guessing blindly wouldn’t help.
Better to pry some information out of Chi Qingchi directly.
Testing the waters, Lin Yu spoke up:
"You? You think you can challenge me?"
"Chi Qingchi, you dared to let your sister come in here alone."
"Do you really think I’d be afraid of two ants?"
"Don’t you know exactly what I’m capable of?"
After he finished,
Chi Qingchi’s gaze only grew sharper, ready to strike:
"Chairman Lin, I’ve heard all about your chains."
"Let’s see today if they’re really as strong as they say."
Chains!
So his ability was chains!
Such a common power didn’t require much thought.
Just from the name alone, it was easy to figure out.
There were no chains or anything similar on Lin Yu’s person,
so
his ability couldn’t be manipulating physical chains.
Otherwise, why wouldn’t he carry a weapon?
That left only one answer…
Lin Yu flicked his wrist, and a crimson chain materialized out of thin air, shooting toward Chi Qingchi with terrifying speed.
In Lin Yu’s eyes,
if Chi Qingchi had the guts to provoke him like this,
even with shackles on, she should at least be able to hold her own for a few moves.
But…
"Clang!"
"Shing!"
The crimson chain coiled around Chi Qingchi at lightning speed,
binding her tightly in an instant.
The chains were directly linked to Lin Yu’s mental focus,
making it feel as if he had grabbed Chi Qingchi with his own hands.
Lin Yu: "???"
That’s it?
It’s over just like that?
The gap between S-rank and C-rank really is freaking huge!
So all that trash talk earlier—setting up flags, flashing weapons—
was just to show off how big and strong Lin Yu was?
What was the point?
All that buildup…
only to end in a one-shot KO.
"Let me go… Why?"
"Why can’t I break free?"
"I still have to save my sister… I can still fight…"
With a mere thought, Lin Yu retracted the chains.
Chi Qingchi was yanked off her feet, flying straight into the black mist.
The next moment,
she landed right in Lin Yu’s arms, her slender waist firmly grasped.
Once inside the black mist,
Chi Qingchi’s outfit instantly transformed.
A pristine white short-sleeved shirt, a red ribbon tied at the collar.
A black miniskirt with layered pleats.
Her fair legs were now clad in form-fitting blue-black stockings,
making the hemp-colored red-soled shoes she wore look even more tantalizing.
The shift in aesthetic
instantly pulled the scene from urban fantasy back to slice-of-life.
The moment Chi Qingchi saw Lin Yu’s face, her expression filled with shock.
She murmured in disbelief:
"Xiao Lin? How… how could it be you?"
"The legendary S-rank Demon Emperor… is actually you?"
"You’ve been hiding at school all this time…"
"And you tricked my sister into dating you!"
Lin Yu: "…"
So, in Chi Qingchi’s dream, he had a secret identity.
Well, not entirely.
This was probably a role her subconscious had already assigned him.
Her sister’s boyfriend!
This girl was way too sharp.
In reality,
Chi Qingchi might not have any concrete evidence of Lin Yu dating her sister.
But if it showed up in her dream,
it meant
she must have suspicions!
Unintentionally,
this made the real-world challenge of "taming" Chi Qingchi even harder.
Playing along, Lin Yu replied:
"Why couldn’t it be me?"
"Chi Qingchi, you’ve finally fallen into my hands."
"Haven’t you realized? Hiding at the university, dating your sister…"
"All of it was just to get close to you…"
"To claim you!"
With the tone now shifted to slice-of-life,
Lin Yu didn’t hold back on the melodrama.
He remembered those Trojan-laden photos in Chi Qingchi’s hard drive all too well.
He refused to believe
that this manga-inspired world was some pure, wholesome romance.
Otherwise,
why would twin sisters both be clinging to the male villain?
Playing cards?
Lin Yu was just steering the narrative back to normalcy with his words.
Just as he expected,
the moment he finished speaking,
Chi Qingchi’s reaction was to avert her gaze in panic.
Then,
with a pained expression, she said:
"Don’t waste your breath… How could I ever like a Demon Emperor?"
That reaction…
There’s hope!
Lin Yu released the chains binding Chi Qingchi’s legs
and pulled her closer, forcing her to face him directly.
Since his character couldn’t leave the chair, she’d have to come to him.
"Lin Yu, you… what are you doing?"
"Let me go!"
Chi Qingchi flustered, struggling uselessly.
Lin Yu roughly cupped her face, dragging her even nearer.
He demanded:
"You can’t like the Demon Emperor? What about Xiao Lin?"
"Is that allowed?"
Chi Qingchi froze, her sparkling eyes wavering:
"Xiao Lin… is my sister’s boyfriend. I’d never like my sister’s boyfriend…"
Lin Yu wasn’t surprised by the answer.
He nodded knowingly and said:
"Fine. Let’s see how long you can keep lying to yourself…"
As he spoke,
the chains around Chi Qingchi moved again!
The links separated—not to free her,
but to use their tension to pull her even tighter against Lin Yu.
This time, the chains aimed to bind them together in sections.
Starting with
her hands!
"Let me go, Lin Yu… Xiao Lin!"
"Stop this… My sister’s right behind us… Please!"
Chi Qingchi pleaded, her voice trembling.
But how could mere words stop Lin Yu, the master of divine powers?
Far from deterring him,
her begging only fueled the charged atmosphere.
Soon,
Chi Qingchi’s slender arms, controlled by the chains,
wrapped around Lin Yu’s neck against her will.
Next,
the worst-hit areas—her knees and thighs—
were forced into a perfect seated position on his lap.
Visually, audibly, tactilely—every sense was bombarding Lin Yu.
But the most surprising thing was…
Lin Yu realized that after failing to resist,
Chi Qingchi had given up struggling entirely!
She allowed the chains to work their magic on her,
while she herself
buried her face into Lin Yu’s shoulder and whispered softly:
"Xiao Lin, stop…"
"Maybe we should eat something first and talk properly?"
Lin Yu: "???"
...
