The messages that came through were a few voice notes.
Lin Yu pressed the red dot and held it to his ear to listen.
"Wang Biao (Voice Message): Bro, you up yet? Mornin'! Got some good news for ya."
"Wang Biao (Voice Message): That party house of yours, it was all finished up last night. You can go take a look today if you're free."
"Wang Biao (Voice Message): Don't worry about the materials and equipment, there's definitely no smell. If you're really concerned, I can get a formaldehyde removal guy to test it for you."
"Wang Biao (Voice Message): If you have time today, go check it out. I changed the front door to a keypad lock. I'll send you the code in a bit, you can change it to whatever other code you want."
Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart.
After waiting and hoping for so long, the party house was finally here!
With so many people in the apartment now and everyone getting along so well, it was the perfect time for a regular entertainment spot.
Brother Biao was truly reliable, managing to help Lin Yu pull off such a big thing in such a short time.
Lin Yu quickly replied to Brother Biao's messages, expressing his thanks emphatically.
They agreed that when Lin Yu visited Brother Biao's place, he'd bring some alcohol, and the two of them would have a proper drink.
"Xiao Yu, let me water those flowers."
"I've pretty much finished tidying up inside. I'll leave the little bit left to the others."
"I'm free now, I can come and help. You go rest for a bit, or go play if you want."
"Anyway, you shouldn't be busy today. If anyone should be busy, it's us."
Chen Qimeng had noticed earlier that Lin Yu had been doing household chores the whole time.
So,
she finished up her tasks as quickly as possible to free up her hands and help Lin Yu.
Even if Maomao didn't say anything, Chen Qimeng knew the importance of today.
Especially since...
this was the first birthday they were spending together after the change in her relationship with Xiao Yu.
She absolutely had to take care of his mood completely, not letting him feel the slightest bit unhappy.
"Qimeng, you came at just the right time. Let's both stop what we're doing."
"There's a place I want to take you to!"
"We have to go together, it's really urgent."
Lin Yu spoke very seriously, which surprised Chen Qimeng for a moment.
Qimeng?
But they were at home.
Even in the courtyard, someone else could come over at any time.
Wasn't calling her that a bit too risky?
Looking at Xiao Yu's expression, it seemed like there really was something urgent.
But no matter how urgent...
leaving everyone at home and the two of them going out together?
Chen Qimeng tentatively asked:
"Xiao Yu, the place you mentioned... is it far?"
"Everyone's at home. It wouldn't be good if we two were gone for too long."
"If it's not super urgent, could it wait until tomorrow, or find a chance later?"
"Can... can you hold on for now?"
After speaking,
Chen Qimeng blushed and tucked the stray hairs by her ear behind it.
Lin Yu: "???"
Hold on?
Where did Auntie Qimeng's mind go?
And her face is all red now!
Lin Yu found it quite amusing internally. He deliberately leaned in closer and whispered:
"What if I can't hold on? I'm so anxious~ so anxious~"
Chen Qimeng, with her hands behind her back, quickly glanced back towards the door.
Checking if anyone was coming out who might see them.
What to do?
Xiao Yu actually saying such things at a time like this?
But...
it's his birthday today!
He's the star of the day!
How could she outright refuse his request?
Looking back later, there might be a lot of regret.
Chen Qimeng's inner conflict was visible.
She looked at Lin Yu, then at the direction of the gate, back and forth several times, before finally speaking:
"Xiao Yu, can we... go to my room?"
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Hiss!
Auntie Qimeng really spoils him too much!
Even such an unreasonable request, she could go this far for him?
Having a birthday is really awesome!
If he could have a birthday every day, wouldn't he be able to make unreasonable demands every day!
However,
the important thing right now was to take Auntie Qimeng to see the new place.
If they went back to Auntie Qimeng's room, it would take at least an hour or two before they came out again.
Today, Lin Yu was the center of everyone's attention.
If he really disappeared for too long and didn't come out, and was discovered later, it would inevitably seem strange.
And Auntie Qimeng's self-control wasn't that great either.
If some strange sounds leaked out, that would be disastrous?
Tsk tsk tsk.
Discussing this kind of thing somewhere else...
wouldn't that perfectly solve the problem?
Lin Yu pulled on Auntie Qimeng's arm, saying:
"What would we do in the room, Qimeng? I just want you to come with me to check out the house in the back row."
"We don't even need to leave the complex, we'll be back very soon!"
Chen Qimeng: "???"
Lin Yu's words clearly caught her off guard.
Go for a walk to the house in the back row?
Just something that simple?
Then her reaction just now...
Chen Qimeng had no time to worry about her flushed face.
She was already being led by Lin Yu, walking out of the courtyard gate.
The two of them walked together for a while.
Chen Qimeng gradually came back to her senses.
Go to the house in the back row? For a walk?
What's there to see in the back row!
It had always been in an unoccupied state.
Recently, Chen Qimeng had noticed that the row of villa residences behind the greenbelt and the small park was being renovated.
She didn't know who had bought a place in this complex.
She remembered it used to be a party house that young people often went to.
Seems like it went out of business?
Chen Qimeng hadn't paid much attention to it.
Things for young people, she didn't really understand them that well herself.
Was the place Xiao Yu was taking her to that closed-down party house?
Going to see what's happening?
Chen Qimeng really wanted to ask.
But as Lin Yu said, the journey really wasn't far.
Whatever the reason, going for a quick look around was completely fine.
A few minutes later.
The two arrived in front of the gate of the party house Lin Yu had bought.
Apart from being only two stories, the layout with a courtyard plus the building was very similar to Chen Qimeng's house.
"Xiao Yu, I saw this place was still being renovated a few days ago. It's finished already?"
"It used to be a place for young people to gather. Do you want to rent it today to bring everyone here to play?"
"I wonder if it's operational now..."
Chen Qimeng stood at the entrance, confirming this was the place she had in mind.
She could roughly guess Xiao Yu's thoughts.
After all,
there were so many people at the house today.
They couldn't just play board games together again, right?
They should at least change things up a bit, let everyone have a good time.
It was understandable for Lin Yu to think of this.
Unfortunately,
from the outside, it seemed like there was no one inside.
And it was just renovated, so it was highly likely not open for business yet.
Lin Yu said with a smile:
"This place probably won't ever be open for business again, right?"
"Qimeng, let's go in and take a look together."
Chen Qimeng said suspiciously:
"The door is locked, and there's no phone number left outside."
"Xiao Yu, if you really want to look, should I ask the property management?"
Before Chen Qimeng could make a move,
Lin Yu first reached his hand towards the keypad lock...
...

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
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.
