Facing a straightforward and bold girl, honesty is the most important standard of treatment.
Of course.
But not every truth can be spoken casually.
Lin Yu looked at Xiang Tiange in surprise and said:
"Is this considered flirting? I just think that when it comes to a girl I like, I should be more sincere and respectful."
"I’m not like this with just anyone, sigh..."
"Seems like I should’ve eaten after all. I overthought it."
With that, Lin Yu picked up the spoon from the bag in a huff, scooped a large spoonful, and ate it with exaggerated enthusiasm.
[Ding!]
[Brilliant move! The Saint’s firm response in the face of doubt has greatly impressed the Joyous Sect’s Rainbow Robe Envoy!]
[Reward: 20 Spirit Stones.]
Lin Yu secretly gloated.
As expected.
A necessary display of "deep affection" is still required.
Young girls really fall for this kind of thing.
Showing a little bit of temper only makes the other person think you "care."
Xiang Tiange watched Lin Yu devouring his meal and scooted closer:
"Such a grump! It was just a joke, no need to take it so seriously."
"Fried rice is best eaten hot—clearly, you don’t know how to enjoy food..."
As she spoke, she reached out with her spoon and scooped a bite from Lin Yu’s box—exactly where he had just taken his.
Under Lin Yu’s gaze, she ate it cheerfully:
"Don’t think so poorly of me. I’m not that kind of person!"
Her "ge-ge-ge" laughter didn’t disappoint Lin Yu.
In ambiguous relationships, what’s the need for explanations?
Actions always speak louder than words.
As Lin Yu kept staring at her, Xiang Tiange’s cheeks gradually grew warm.
Her outgoing nature was real, but so was her nervousness.
She was cheerful, not shameless.
Acting on impulse, she had just proven she didn’t mind sharing food with Lin Yu.
But now, thinking back...
Would he think she was too easy?
"Why aren’t you eating? If I finish it all, you’ll go hungry tonight!" Xiang Tiange reminded him again.
Lin Yu smiled and replied:
"Oh, I just realized—aside from being pretty, you’re also kinda cute."
"Eating! I’m eating now!"
In the empty dance classroom, the two shared a warm moment over fried rice.
Even among the many dreams Lin Yu had visited, this was an unusually sweet scene.
As they ate, the distance between them gradually shrank.
When they started chatting after the meal, Lin Yu slowly moved his fingers, lightly brushing against Xiang Tiange’s hand resting on the floor.
Xiang Tiange’s body tensed visibly, her hand trembling slightly.
She deliberately avoided looking at Lin Yu, but she didn’t pull her hand away.
Instead, she kept it there, letting Lin Yu’s hand inch closer until they were fully touching.
[Ding!]
[Brilliant move! The Saint’s bold advance has left the Joyous Sect’s Rainbow Robe Envoy utterly enchanted!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones.]
In situations like this, of course, the guy needs to take the lead.
After a meal, isn’t it time to talk about serious matters?
"Tiange, are we dating now?"
Xiang Tiange’s eyes widened: "???"
"C-can we call it that?"
"That’d be way too easy on you!"
Judging by her reaction, he thought she was completely smitten.
Who knew?
At the critical moment, she could still stay sharp.
Seems she wasn’t so easy to win over after all!
But Lin Yu was patient.
Putting in more effort in dreams might just make reality smoother.
"I’ve never been in a relationship either, so... what comes next?"
The act of playing dumb was now in full swing.
Xiang Tiange was stumped.
Stammering, she replied:
"I-I don’t have experience either! It’s not like I’m some expert."
"At the very least, shouldn’t there be a confession and an answer?"
Seizing the moment, Lin Yu tightly grasped her hand—before she could react—and leaned in, giving her a quick, light peck on the lips.
Xiang Tiange’s mind went blank: "!!!"
A kiss?
They’d kissed already?
Lin Yu ambushed her!
No time to react—it was over in a flash!
Lin Yu: "Tiange, does a kiss count as a confession?"
Xiang Tiange: "..."
He was doing this on purpose!
This guy was absolutely trying to force the issue.
[Ding!]
[Brilliant move! The Saint’s daring declaration of love has the Joyous Sect’s Rainbow Robe Envoy utterly captivated!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones.]
No need for extra hints or words.
The system’s notification was the ultimate authority!
With momentum on his side, it was time to press the advantage.
Lin Yu gently pulled Xiang Tiange into his arms and kissed her again—this time, not a fleeting touch, but a long, lingering one.
She hadn’t stopped him the first time.
Now...
She had even less reason to resist.
Xiang Tiange’s hands fluttered awkwardly in the air for a moment.
As her breathing and heartbeat raced, she finally wrapped her arms around Lin Yu.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
"..."
Almost the instant they embraced, an intense buzzing sound erupted, impossible to ignore.
Hearing the familiar noise, Lin Yu knew exactly what it meant.
This surge was coming too fast—no stopping it now.
Rather than waste time trying to stabilize the situation, he might as well leave a deeper impression on Xiang Tiange and keep kissing her.
......
4:00 AM.
Xiang Tiange’s bedroom.
Hugging a plush goose in her sleep, she suddenly jolted awake.
Her mind blank for a few seconds, she finally realized where she was.
This was her home—not some dance classroom!
Letting go of the plush goose, she sat up and quickly turned on the bedside lamp.
After scanning the room to confirm she was indeed at home, she exhaled deeply, cupped her flushed cheeks, and leaned back against the headboard.
"Xiang Tiange, what on earth were you thinking?"
"How could you have such a dream?!"
"Must be from watching too many romance anime lately..."
"No more anime! No more!!"
Muttering to herself, she then reconsidered the dream’s scenes.
If Lin Yu really were pursuing her...
Would she reject him?
That guy... isn’t so bad, is he?
......
Lin Yu’s apartment, his bedroom.
The sweet dream had brought him closer to Xiang Tiange.
But waking up didn’t leave him floating on cloud nine.
Having experienced so many grand scenes, how could he get carried away over something as small as a kiss?
Lin Yu drifted back to sleep.
The scenery around him shifted rapidly.
By the time his consciousness sharpened again, he found himself deep in the mountains.
Mountains... summer school!
Counselor Miao Haixin’s dream!
So Aunt Ru Xue still wasn’t asleep—pulling an all-nighter?
Fine.
Time to see what kind of "heart-fluttering moment" the counselor’s dream held.
Just as he was pondering this, Lin Yu suddenly felt a breeze below.
Lin Yu: "???"
Why were his belt and shorts undone?
Holy—!
Looking down, his vision refocused.
A familiar figure crouched before him...
"Little Yu, let big sister help you out, okay?"
Green Snake Woman... Teacher Yan Miaozhu!
Just whose dream was this anyway?!
......
(Second update for today, with an extra chapter coming soon—stay tuned!)
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
