At first, seeing Brother Xiong charging forward with such ferocity,
Huang Shi didn’t dare run at all!
If he ran, wouldn’t Brother Xiong beat him to death afterward?
But who would’ve thought—
Brother Xiong didn’t just fail to finish the job, he ended up getting taken out himself!
Realizing things had gone south, Huang Shi seized the moment while no one was paying attention to him.
He decided to slip away quietly while he still could.
But who knew Lin Yu would spot his sneaky move?
“I—I didn’t move!”
“Bro, we really didn’t take your phone!”
“It’s all a misunderstanding…”
Huang Shi caved way faster than Black Bear.
If even his boss got “one-shot,” there was no way he stood a chance!
“Don’t talk to me. Save it for the cops.”
“I gave you a chance to handle this peacefully earlier.”
“But you just had to resort to violence!”
“Wouldn’t listen no matter what I said!”
Black Bear wobbled as he knelt back down, trying to explain again:
“It’s not that we didn’t want to resolve it, we just—”
Lin Yu applied a bit more pressure: “Moving again?”
Black Bear’s mouth hung open: “No, no! I’m not!”
…
A few minutes later.
Officers from the nearby police station arrived promptly at the scene.
Emergency response in crowded areas was always efficient.
Black Bear and Huang Shi, who usually dreaded the sight of cops,
now found their presence oddly comforting.
They’d been praying for their “family” to show up!
“Officer, you’re finally here!”
The moment he saw the police, Black Bear scrambled over on his knees.
Pointing accusingly at Lin Yu, he wailed:
“Him! It’s him!”
“He assaulted me! Look how swollen my hand is!”
“He attacked me in broad daylight, in front of all these people!”
“Aren’t you gonna do something? Where’s the justice? Where’s the law?”
The two officers exchanged a glance.
The older one, Police Officer Song, stepped forward and looked down at Black Bear:
“Chen Daxiong, get up. Quit the act.”
“Do I not know you, or do you not know me?”
“What’s the matter? Got schooled by a kid today?”
Hearing his name, Black Bear finally looked up:
“O-Officer Song…”
“I’m the victim here today! I didn’t do anything!”
“He’s the one who hit me! I didn’t lay a finger on him!”
Black Bear stood up, shoving his swollen wrist—now thicker than a fist—in front of Officer Song.
From the crowd, a young boy shouted:
“He’s lying! He threw the first punch but lost!”
Once the brave kid spoke up, others quickly chimed in:
“Yeah, I saw it too! He shoved the guy and tried to hit a woman. The young man just grabbed him—didn’t even hit back!”
“Exactly! Stealing phones and assaulting people in public? Lock him up!”
“…”
Officer Song raised a hand to quiet the crowd.
Even without seeing the whole thing, he could guess his old “acquaintance” had started the trouble.
Black Bear glared at the nosy bystanders from beside the officers.
Huang Shi seized the moment to defend his boss:
“Officer, this guy framed us first, accusing us of stealing his phone.”
“Brother Xiong and I… we’ve turned over a new leaf! We’re law-abiding now!”
Black Bear nodded emphatically, latching onto the excuse:
“Right! He humiliated me in public. I just lost my temper, but he straight-up assaulted me!”
Then, Black Bear started patting his pockets:
“Officer Song, look—this is all I’ve got on me.”
“My phone, my cigarettes, that’s it!”
Officer Song’s eyes fell on the bag at Black Bear’s waist.
Black Bear confidently unzipped it:
“See? Nothing but tissues and—”
“Huh? Whose phone is this?”
Huang Shi: “???”
Black Bear: “???”
Officer Song smirked. “Alright, let’s continue this at the station.”
…
An hour later.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host! Timed mission completed successfully!]
[The Black Bear & Huang Shi gang has been eradicated. The Saint has protected the acting sect leader!]
[Rewards: 200 sect contribution points, 400 spirit stones, 1 free lottery draw.]
Lin Yu and Chen Qimeng walked out of the police station together.
With so many eyewitnesses and physical evidence on Black Bear—
not to mention his long rap sheet (theft, brawling, drunken assaults…)
spanning a full page—
there was no escape from justice, even in a surveillance-free zone.
Once outside,
Chen Qimeng grabbed Lin Yu’s arm, inspecting him carefully.
She hadn’t wanted to fuss over him in front of the police,
but now, with just the two of them, she held nothing back.
“Xiao Yu, are you hurt anywhere?”
“What about your back? Did it get hit when you fell?”
“If anything feels off, tell me right away. We’ll go to the hospital!”
Lin Yu exhaled deeply, feigning relief as he looked at her:
“Qimeng, I’m fine. Not a scratch.”
“But you…”
“Why were you so reckless? Throwing things at him—were you trying to provoke him?”
“Or did you think you could take him on?”
Chen Qimeng froze.
She hadn’t expected his first question after leaving to be about this.
“I… didn’t think at all.”
“When I saw him attack you, I just…”
Suddenly—
She felt a gentle pull.
Before she knew it, Lin Yu had drawn her into an embrace.
After a few seconds,
Chen Qimeng wrapped her arms around him, returning his warmth and concern.
Lin Yu: “Qimeng, I have a question.”
Chen Qimeng: “Mm, go ahead.”
Lin Yu: “I noticed this while picking up the stuff you threw… Why do you carry so many toiletries?”
Chen Qimeng: “!!!”
“Th-those aren’t… exactly toiletries, right?”
She tried to pull back, but Lin Yu held her tighter:
“Makeup, face masks, perfume, dry wipes, wet wipes, compressed towels, mosquito repellent, travel soap, instant coffee…”
“And even a power bank?”
Chen Qimeng: “!!!”
When Rongrong had talked her into packing all this, she never imagined she’d have to empty her bag in public.
Now, with Xiao Yu listing it all out…
It did sound pretty bizarre!
She racked her brain for a reasonable explanation—
until Lin Yu’s next words made her heart skip a beat.
“I packed…”
“Pillowcases, towels, bath towels…”
“You know what they say—after leaving ‘that place,’ you should wash off the bad luck.”
“Qimeng, let’s find somewhere to cleanse this foul energy, okay?”
“We shouldn’t let misfortune cling to us. Don’t you think?”
…

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
