Lin Yu approached, still asking the obvious question.
With the polite insistence of an elderly person, he invited:
"Sister Shanshan, why not come inside?"
"Everyone's here, it'd be nice to come in and chat."
"Since you're already here, come on, let's go in together?"
Xia Xiashan waved her hands repeatedly, refusing while walking towards the rear car door:
"I better not go in. I have to go to the martial arts school later."
"I came by now because I wanted to give you... your birthday gift in advance."
"I didn't know your preferences, so I picked a collectible based on my own taste."
"I hope you like it..."
As she spoke.
Xia Xiashan opened the rear car door and pulled out a not-too-wide black box from the back seat.
The box indeed wasn't wide.
But it was...
Long!
So long that just when Lin Yu thought she was done pulling it out, Xia Xiashan was still extracting more of it!
Lin Yu leaned closer to the car door, looking on with astonishment.
Is the inside of a G-Class this spacious?
It can fit something this long!
A martial arts master giving such a long gift... it couldn't be... a pool cue, could it?
Lin Yu: "..."
Xia Xiashan finally pulled it out completely, holding it in her arms.
She looked at Lin Yu somewhat sheepishly and said:
"It's not very portable, but it's a token of my feelings."
"Lin Yu, please accept it."
Xia Xiashan offered it to Lin Yu.
The smile on Lin Yu's face was extremely unnatural, and he kept saying:
"Thank you, thank you, I really appreciate it."
"Sister Shanshan, inside... it's not a sword, is it?"
Xia Xiashan looked at Lin Yu with shocked expression:
"You...!!!"
"How did you guess?"
Lin Yu: "Heh ha, it was hard not to guess. I did attend six years of elementary school Chinese, after all."
After saying that.
Lin Yu looked down at the gilded characters on the box:
"The edge of a precious sword is honed from grinding!"
Xia Xiashan followed Lin Yu's gaze.
She slapped her forehead in sudden realization:
"Oh right!"
"I forgot about that. Should have changed the box."
Lin Yu was speechless: "..."
Is changing the box really the issue here?
Finding such a big box couldn't have been easy either!
She's really giving me a big sword?
Might as well have given Lin Yu a membership card to a "big sword" spa—at least he might use that someday for a change of pace.
What scenario could this thing possibly be useful in?
At tonight's Hongmen Feast?
Or when he sees someone he doesn't like, pulling it out for a round of...
The era of cold weapons ended ages ago!
Living with this group of girls every day.
Broadens the career development paths for Lin Yu more and more.
If he really can't make a living in the future, he could still become a professional complainer, and doing manzai comedy would also be a viable path.
"Sister Shanshan, this gift truly leaves me a bit... astounded."
"No one has ever given me a weapon before. I'll treasure it properly."
"I'll open it and take a look after I bring it home later."
Xia Xiashan nodded in agreement:
"Mm, better look at it at home."
"It rained yesterday, there's a lot of mud on the ground. Opening it outside might get it dirty."
Lin Yu nodded with a kind smile: "..."
Mud outside?
It's that there are too many police around here!
If a big sword were to suddenly slide out with a shing.
He might well get taken away for causing trouble.
The two stood there awkwardly for a moment.
You look at me, I look at you.
Lin Yu wondered, didn't she say she had to leave? Why isn't she going?
He couldn't possibly be the one to urge his sister to leave, right?
That would be so impolite!
Looking at Xia Xiashan, she seemed to have more to say.
But couldn't find the right moment to start, or perhaps hadn't organized her words.
Where did that once straightforward and confident dojo master sister go?
Once fear sets in, this is actually the kind of reaction she has!
It truly caught Lin Yu off guard.
If he had known.
Lin Yu really should have hit her earlier.
She's even easier to handle than Sister Ruirui after the Hundred Beasts Order.
Finally.
After several failed attempts to organize her words.
Xia Xiashan pointed to her luxury car and said:
"Hurry and go inside. I'm heading back first."
Lin Yu, holding the large gift, replied affirmatively:
"Alright, get in the car, Sister Shanshan. Drive safely."
"Come over early after you're done, chat and hang out with everyone."
Xia Xiashan kept nodding continuously.
Then.
Under Lin Yu's watchful eye, she got into the back seat of the car and closed the door.
"Thud!"
Lin Yu: "???"
If Lin Yu's eyes weren't deceiving him...
Unless the latest Mercedes model isn't that advanced yet...
The driver's seat should still be in the front!
Is she really that nervous?
Has Lin Yu killed someone, or eaten someone?
Would he really pull out a big sword on the street and chop at her? No way!
"Knock knock knock!"
"Knock knock knock!"
"..."
Immediately after.
Urgent knocking sounds came from the back seat.
Lin Yu looked through the glass.
A thoroughly embarrassed Xia Xiashan was pointing at the door lock, waiting for Lin Yu to open it for her.
Lin Yu: "..."
Someone without kids, why have the child lock on in the back?
Who are you trying to kidnap, preventing them from getting out?
Lin Yu maintained his composure, calmly opened the rear door.
And cracked a cold joke he couldn't resist:
"Ah heh heh, Sister Shanshan, after getting in the car, did you discover... hey, where's my steering wheel?"
Xia Xiashan's face was completely flushed, red as if burned.
She explained at a rapid pace:
"Just now I was going to check the back seat to see if I left anything behind."
"I forgot that last time when Aunt Ruxue came, she turned on the child lock."
Lin Yu: "Oh~ I understand, I understand..."
This reason for turning on the child lock...
Was it to prevent Aunt Ruxue from getting out?
Or to capture a cat at Aunt Ruxue's request?
Xia Xiashan smoothed the hair by her ear, did it twice but felt it wasn't like her usual style at all, and quickly put both hands behind her back.
Putting them behind her back felt too pretentious, so she let them go again, hanging awkwardly by her sides.
Lin Yu: "..."
Are those newly grown arms? Or untamed prosthetics?
After standing still for a few seconds, Xia Xiashan waved her hand, quickly slipped into the driver's seat, and fled the scene.
Even after driving two blocks away, the blush on her face still hadn't faded.
Inside the car.
"Bang! Bang bang!"
At a red light, Xia Xiashan pounded the steering wheel furiously, self-deprecatingly lamenting:
"Xia Xiashan, you big failure!"
"So you lost once? Is it that hard to face?"
"Damn it!"
"A complete joke... seen through entirely!"
The driver of a small pickup truck waiting next to her.
Peered through the window, looking at the neighboring G-Class again and again.
After a long while.
Muttered:
“That G-Class is so damn handsome!”
Of course.
The luxury car with tinted privacy glass, and it being summer.
Why would the windows be open?
...

s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
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.
y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten. This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on? Why is everyone a gambling addict?!” “Opening chests? No way. I refuse to gamble. I’ll start with myself!” Until— On his first chest, he obtained a Mythic Talent: Void Incarnation! He could become completely intangible, pass through all things, and reduce everything to nothingness! … On his fiftieth chest, he obtained a Mythic Weapon: Blade of Karma! With a single slash, karma shattered, twisting the universe and overturning the myriad phenomena of creation! … On his ninety-ninth chest, he obtained a Mythic Divine Treasure: Primordial Purple Energy! It could split open the heavens and earth, create all things, and evolve countless worlds with a single thought! Lin Ye: “Now that I think about it… shouldn’t someone have told me that every chest is guaranteed to contain something Mythic?!”
saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes.
