【Ding!】
【What a brilliant move! The Holy Son openly bared his heart, making his Taoist partner extremely smitten!】
【Reward: 50 spirit stones】
Thanks to the system, Lin Yu now knew that his feelings were not unrequited.
Chen Qimeng grabbed Lin Yu's arm and turned him towards the stairway.
"Alright, Xiao Yu, go quickly," she said.
"Little Xue will be coming up soon. Don't make me worry."
Of course, Lin Yu wasn't stupid enough to disobey. He obediently went downstairs and set off for the Treasureless Pavilion.
...
It was half past ten at night.
This was the bustling hour on Ghost Market Street.
It was just like in the rural areas during summer, in the grove.
So many people were wide - awake, each with a flashlight, looking for "cicada nymphs".
Lin Yu wasn't here to buy anything today, so he didn't bring a flashlight.
The location of the Treasureless Pavilion was prominent and easy to find.
Walking towards the light source, his phone kept vibrating.
To avoid spoiling the mood later, Lin Yu had deliberately set it to vibrate.
Otherwise, all he'd hear would be the tinkling WeChat notifications.
It wasn't that everyone was up all night chatting with Lin Yu non - stop.
All the messages were from one person...
The green - snake woman, Teacher Yan Miaozhu!
Even before dinner was over, Yan Miaozhu had started sending messages to Lin Yu.
During the dinner, a [Void Formation Talisman] had been activated, with a duration of three hours.
Since the effect hadn't worn off yet, it would be a waste not to use it.
So, Lin Yu logged into his WeChat on the virtual computer and started a text - based conversation with Yan Miaozhu.
During this time,
from the occasional [Critical Hit] prompts from the system,
Lin Yu could imagine that with her husband right beside her, Yan Miaozhu must be over the moon.
She must think that her charm was simply irresistible.
No matter how long she took to reply, Lin Yu would always respond instantly.
Maybe,
in Yan Miaozhu's imagination,
Lin Yu might be sitting there stupidly, holding his phone, doing nothing but waiting for her next message.
Little did she know,
Lin Yu didn't even need to touch his phone. With just a thought, the message would be composed.
For some long replies, he even had to control the delay before sending them.
As Lin Yu patiently and methodically carried on the conversation,
the true nature of the green - snake woman teacher was gradually revealed.
She was even more extreme than He Jing back then.
Perhaps, thinking that she had made Lin Yu's feelings clear, she dared to be so unrestrained.
Finally, after nearly two hours of chatting about "life anecdotes",
Yan Miaozhu extended her claws towards him:
[Yan Miaozhu: Little brother, tell sister honestly, how many young maidens have you slept with so far?]
Lin Yu wasn't at all surprised that Yan Miaozhu had steered the conversation in this direction.
In the system's limited - time task prompt,
Yan Miaozhu only had a maximum of forty - eight hours.
She had to make sure to succeed within two days.
There wasn't enough time for her to slowly cultivate feelings.
Moreover,
for their kind of relationship, did they need to cultivate feelings online through chatting skills?
All that silly idle talk was no match for real - life actions in bed.
This wasn't a romantic relationship, so why waste time on cultivating feelings like others?
When Yan Miaozhu asked this question, she actually didn't care what Lin Yu's answer was.
[Lin Yu: (Stunned) Never. I was always on the fringes at school...]
Lin Yu "truthfully" replied, which was completely in line with the impression he had left on people at school before.
He wasn't lying at all.
Before the cosplay exhibition video went viral, he really didn't have much presence.
Wasn't it through the video on the Moments that Yan Miaozhu had set her eyes on him?
[Yan Miaozhu: No, you're actually very excellent. It's just that no one noticed you before, but I did!]
Lin Yu simply ignored Yan Miaozhu's praise.
There was no need to take such idle flattery seriously.
Lin Yu took the initiative to steer the conversation back on track...
[Lin Yu: Sister, can you tell me the truth? How many men have you slept with? I really want to know. ]
[Lin Yu: Also, sister, are you single now?]
【Ding!】
【Critical Hit! The Holy Son's communication skills have penetrated the heart of the evil spirit, making the green - snake woman unable to stop herself!】
【Reward: 100 spirit stones】
Tsk tsk tsk.
As expected.
Asking Lin Yu such a question was just waiting for Lin Yu to turn the tables on her.
Forty - eight hours was really too short.
It was precisely when he was short of money to buy the position of the sect master. If he could chat more with Yan Miaozhu,
he could earn quite a few spirit stones!
As the conversation got deeper,
the reward of spirit stones could even increase to 100!
It was just like the random bonus when ordering takeout.
This time, Yan Miaozhu took a significantly longer time to reply.
As a result, Lin Yu had to slow down his steps to match her reply speed.
She was still being coy!
She must have already thought of the answer. Just say it straight!
She was trying to convey an image of being extremely conflicted, wanting to say but afraid to.
Finally,
after a long mental struggle, the reply came:
"Yan Miaozhu: Brother, I'm only telling you this. You mustn't tell anyone else. I've only had one boyfriend. I'm not even sure if we slept together. Maybe we did, but there was something wrong with him down there. Maybe it didn't work out. I don't know how to put it."
Lin Yu stopped in his tracks and almost burst out laughing in anger.
How come he never noticed before that male college students were so easy to deceive?
What a ridiculous excuse!
Fine, only having one boyfriend, he could let that slide. No point in nitpicking.
Suspected to have slept together?
Sort of in but not fully in?
And then shifting the blame onto the guy!
This was going a bit too far, wasn't it?
Right after that, a new message popped up.
"Yan Miaozhu: Actually, I have a phobia of relationships. I've been too scared to fall in love again for years. But recently, there's been a little change in my mindset because... of someone."
Great. All sorts of rare problems were coming out. She was truly a heavy - hitter when it came to manipulating their generation! It was like a trip down memory lane!
Whether she really had a phobia of relationships, he didn't know. But Yan Miaozhu definitely had a "can't stop being overly dramatic or she'll die" disease.
In response to her message, Lin Yu sent a cross - era reply:
"Lin Yu: I also have someone... I miss someone so much, the someone I miss the most, the someone I want to see the most. Thank you, someone, for the little warmth you gave me."
After sending the message, Lin Yu arrived at the door of the Wubao Pavilion.
The Wubao Pavilion looked the same as ever tonight. There was no one at the stalls.
Looking through the open window, he didn't see Shen Buyao.
Even though he couldn't see her, he could hear her voice.
"Damn your grandpa! You're complaining about 'Ghost Gunslinger' now?"
"The guy who switched at point B is my friend. You got a problem with that?"
"Was it your dad's wallet that got switched? Why are you so worked up?"
"..."
Lin Yu outside: "..."
Weren't they supposed to be playing Dance Dance Revolution?
How come it sounded like she was getting into a fight?
...

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. 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. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
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! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
