Xiaochi looked at Lin Yu with suspicion, her eyes darting around:
"Xiao Lin, what are you talking about?"
Through his recent interactions with Chi Qingchi,
Lin Yu had already gained a general understanding of her personality and habits.
Every time she was about to scheme, her eyes would unconsciously start to dart around.
Physical habits like that aren't so easy to break.
She probably wasn't even aware she had this habit.
Lin Yu didn't beat around the bush at all and went straight to the point:
"Xiaochi, be honest. What's everyone in the apartment secretly planning?"
"Look me in the eyes and tell me. We've been classmates for so long."
"If you lie, I'll definitely be able to tell."
Chi Qingchi: "!!!"
Xiang Tian'e: "!!!"
Xia Xiashan: "!!!"
As soon as these words were spoken,
the atmosphere in the car immediately took on a suspenseful tone.
The two women in the front seats instantly understood what was going on.
Neither of them were original residents of the apartment.
So naturally, they didn't know everyone in the apartment was "plotting" some big event.
Plotting was one thing,
but to be discovered by Lin Yu!
The others in the apartment might be fine, but Xiaochi was in for it now!
Xia Xiashan let out a long sigh of relief and couldn't help saying:
"So... so that's what it was."
Lin Yu couldn't help but chime in:
"Sister Shanshan, what did you think I was going to interrogate her about?"
Xia Xiashan was left speechless again: "..."
What she had thought, of course, couldn't be told to Lin Yu.
It would hurt him too much.
"Xiao Lin, you... you've got it wrong, haven't you?"
"What secret plan? Don't overthink it!"
Xiaochi quickly spoke up to argue, trying to see if she could bluff her way through.
But in her heart, she was utterly amazed.
Xiao Lin is way too clever!
How on earth did he find out?
From the moment she got in the car until now, there shouldn't have been anything that gave it away, right?
How could he still have guessed it so accurately?
Xiang Tian'e turned her head and said helplessly:
"Xiaochi, actually, at a time like this, I should help you out."
"But your acting is just too poor."
"Under Lin Yu's 'interrogation', your reaction is a bit too exaggerated, hehe."
Xiang Tian'e couldn't help but laugh.
Her smile held more than just teasing Xiaochi; it was mostly genuine relief and happiness.
It had all been her misconception, thinking Lin Yu wanted to be alone with Xiaochi, that there was something between them.
Only now did she understand.
Lin Yu just wanted to "interrogate" Xiaochi alone to get the secret out of her.
Faced with "Goose Goose Goose's" (Xiang Tian'e's) added jab, Chi Qingchi's face turned red, a rare occurrence.
Everyone had planned for so long in the group chat, how could it fail because of her?
Wouldn't she become the sinner of the whole apartment then?
Since Lin Yu had already sensed something was up,
simply put,
Xiaochi put on a performance of what's called "a dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water."
"Xiao Lin, even though you guessed it, I didn't spill the beans."
"You'll never find out what we're preparing. I'd rather die than tell."
"You're so strong and know martial arts, just kill me now!"
Xiaochi leaned back in her seat, closed her eyes directly, making her stance clear.
Even if the sky fell, she would stand with her comrades.
She would absolutely not betray them!
Regarding this,
Lin Yu had already expected it. How could he not understand Xiaochi?
He had already calculated in his mind what kind of "interrogation" method to use against Xiaochi's stubbornness.
People always have their weaknesses.
Lin Yu moved closer and said:
"Tsk tsk tsk, on your birthday, let's not talk about dying!"
"Martial arts aren't for killing people, they're a killing technique."
Xiaochi: "???"
Did Xiao Lin misspeak? He said killing twice?
Xiang Tian'e: "???"
Is Lin Yu emphasizing it doubly?
Xia Xiashan: "!!!"
Outrageous! Too outrageous!
Is this Lin Yu's true nature?!
Immediately after,
Lin Yu picked up the bag of pastries beside him.
Under Xiaochi's watchful eye, he slowly began to untie the plastic bag's knot.
Xiaochi's eyes widened: "!!!"
Only at this moment
did Xiaochi finally understand what Lin Yu intended to do.
It wasn't about killing the person, but breaking their spirit!
Oh no, oh no!
This is really bad now.
Completely pinned down at the weakness of human nature.
He's specifically targeting her soft spot!
"Xiao Lin, what are you doing?"
"Let's talk this out properly, we can discuss it slowly. Just put the pastry down, okay?"
"Don't... don't do this... stop untying it!"
Xiang Tian'e couldn't bear to watch anymore and turned her head away.
Seeing Xia Xiashan looking at her, Xiang Tian'e said awkwardly:
"Geez, Lin Yu is so ruthless..."
"He's completely got Xiaochi's Achilles' heel!"
Xia Xiashan could only nod.
Poor girl.
You have no idea, this is just the beginning?
It's merely the tip of the iceberg.
Xia Xiashan recalled the cake shop again, where she had almost thought that was Lin Yu's true nature.
Now Xia Xiashan really wanted to knock her own head a couple of times!
She must have been out of her mind!
If she didn't look at the scene in the back seat and only listened to Xiaochi's desperate pleas,
one would think he wasn't untying a plastic bag, but her clothes.
"Xiaochi, let me tell you."
"This five-dollar donut, the first bite is worth four-fifty!"
"Look, it's sprinkled with these... what are they called?"
"Rainbow-colored sprinkles, so sweet, so sweet!"
"Want to try a bite?"
"Experience the super valuable first bite?"
Lin Yu brought the donut close to Xiaochi's mouth, gently sweeping it past her lips.
The sweet fragrance wafted over, stimulating all of Xiaochi's nerves.
But Xiaochi couldn't move at all.
She could only keep opening her mouth, trying to prop her body up a little.
Just a little bit...
Just a little bit closer and she could bite it!
In an instant,
Xiaochi vaguely felt her teeth seemed to touch the donut, but Lin Yu's hand was incredibly fast.
Before she could even close her mouth, he had pulled it back.
Xiaochi, frustrated: "Wahhh, I was so close!"
Lin Yu, shocked: "!!!"
Just now, he didn't know if Xiaochi realized it herself,
but her shoulder, along with her neck, had actually moved a little?
Even if it was just a tiny bit, it was enough to shock Lin Yu.
His "Tenderizing Bone Softening Fist" had never failed before!
Was Xiaochi's willpower that strong?
Was her desire to eat the donut really that intense?
Just that once.
Xiaochi missed her best chance to snatch the food.
Lin Yu fully realized that,
no matter how strong Xiaochi's willpower was, she could ultimately only move that tiny bit.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a shame."
"Xiaochi, why put yourself through such hardship?"
"If you just honestly tell me everything, wouldn't you be able to eat the donut?"

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.

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.
