Feeling the pen tip moving on her back, Shen Buyao's embarrassment level soared along with it.
Now, turning her not-so-big brain to think about it...
Yeah.
How could Lin Yu possibly be here going "mm-hmm, ah-hmm"?
What on earth was she thinking, even sticking her butt out...
So awkward!
"Don't wiggle, don't wiggle, I can't write properly."
"We know each other well enough. Another day, let's find a place with no one around, and then I'll agree to your unreasonable request."
Lin Yu reminded her.
Shen Buyao: "..."
As he wrote, Lin Yu sighed with emotion:
"We've known each other since humble beginnings, haven't we... my 'wife who shared my hard times'..."
Shen Buyao muttered under her breath:
"'Hard times' isn't exactly a nice term."
Lin Yu stopped writing and pulled Shen Buyao up.
At the same time, he placed the greeting card in her palm:
"'Hard times' might not be a good term, but 'wife who shared my hard times' is different."
"See you in a bit, I'm going back to catching monsters and leveling up."
After saying that.
He left Shen Buyao alone at the scene, looking at the greeting card:
[You are the book-holding fairy who stepped out of poetry and literature, and also the heroic beauty amidst the worldly hustle.]
[This world always loves to flaunt manners on the lips, yet you keep sincerity hidden in your heart, delivering a resounding slap to this hypocritically proper world.]
[May you always possess this courage that fears no worldly conventions!]
Shen Buyao rubbed her eyes, her nose tingling with emotion as she whispered to herself:
"That darn guy... I've never seen him be so good with words before..."
...
Found four on the third floor.
Basically searched every possible place.
To avoid missing anything, Lin Yu even specifically jogged a lap around the corridor.
Only after confirming nothing was left did he hurriedly run to the second floor.
The layout of the second floor was similar to the third, also having a storage room for punishment brooms and mops.
To Lin Yu's surprise, he actually didn't find anyone in the storage room?
He came up empty!
Lin Yu then rushed to the balcony on the second floor, and actually didn't find anyone there either?
What's the deal?
Is the public area on the second floor that big?
Not hiding in such a spacious place, are they all learning from Shen Jiuyi, hiding in boxes?
Lin Yu hurriedly arrived at the small dining area on the second floor.
Calling it a small dining area, it wasn't much different from the tea room on the third floor.
The only difference was that you could plug in one or two small electric pots here.
Usually, the folks on the second floor would also cook noodles, porridge, or dumplings here or something.
There was a stove counter too, but it had never been used.
Lin Yu scanned the room, his gaze locking onto the cabinet under the stove counter.
Since the stove wasn't used, the cabinet basically held nothing.
The few bowls and chopsticks were also placed out in the open.
The space inside here was at least more spacious than where Shen Jiuyi had hidden.
Lin Yu deliberately slowed and lightened his steps, trying not to make a sound as he approached the cabinet.
"Zi~ zi~"
Strange noises occasionally came from inside the cabinet.
Lin Yu knew it—this one was in the bag!
Before Lin Yu could pull the person out, the person inside spoke first...
"Ying'er, has Little Lin Yu left?"
"Why is there no sound?"
Lin Yu smiled and shook his head.
That voice belonged to Nurse Sister, Xia Yiwei!
Still too impatient!
Hearing no sound outside for a moment, she lost the patience to hide properly.
How dare she just start talking directly!
Lin Yu carefully listened to the lower cabinet.
Xia Yiwei and Mo Shangying were really going all out!
They actually managed to squeeze two people into a not-so-large cabinet?
Lin Yu knew their personalities quite well.
They probably thought hiding in places too easy to find wouldn't cause enough trouble for Lin Yu.
So.
They gave up all those spacious places and chose the hard-to-find cabinet.
However.
Lin Yu still underestimated their determination...
"Weiwei-jie, I don't know either!"
"I don't dare move much on my side, afraid I might fall."
"Why don't you open the cabinet door and take a look?"
Mo Shangying responded to Xia Yiwei.
A simple response, but it gave Lin Yu a scare.
Lin Yu slowly looked up.
Towards the small upper cabinet above...
Lin Yu: "!!!"
This is really going all out!
Is it necessary to go this hard?
They weren't hiding together below; there was one hidden above too!
If not for their conversation, even if Lin Yu caught Xia Yiwei below,
it would have been hard to scoop out Ying'er in one go!
At that height, with Ying'er's stature, even standing on the stove counter would make it difficult to climb up.
Xia Yiwei must have helped her!
It was only possible because it was Ying'er who squeezed in.
If it were someone else, Lin Yu would definitely have to call someone to repair the cabinet.
"Okay, I'll help you check."
Xia Yiwei agreed, carefully opening the cabinet door a crack.
Lin Yu crouched down, bringing his face close to the opening.
The moment their eyes met...
A familiar scene occurred...
"Thump!"
Xia Yiwei was so startled she shuddered, her head directly hitting the top of the cabinet.
"Ouch..."
How could it not be scary?
Opening the cabinet door, she directly met Lin Yu's terrifying gaze.
Almost scared her soul out of her body!
Xia Yiwei cried out in pain, still wanting to close the cabinet door, but Lin Yu pushed it open directly.
Hearing the unusual sound, Mo Shangying anxiously asked again in a low voice:
"Weiwei-jie, are you okay? Did you bump into something?"
Xia Yiwei wanted to speak, but saw Lin Yu gesturing for silence.
She had no choice but to cooperate, closing her mouth and slowly climbing out of the cabinet.
"Weiwei-jie? Weiwei-jie?"
Calling out twice, Ying'er inside seemed to realize something was wrong.
She closed her mouth again, returning to a state of silence.
Xia Yiwei stood beside Lin Yu, rubbing her bumped head.
She really couldn't bear to see her teammate suffer mental torment, so she spoke up:
"Ying'er, come out. Lin Yu came with silent steps."
Hearing this.
Ying'er reluctantly opened the cabinet door, revealing her posture inside the cabinet.
In the upper cabinet, there was also a small square hollowed-out design.
Ying'er was curled up in the cabinet in an extremely contorted position.
It made Lin Yu exclaim in admiration.
How on earth did she get in there!
Is everyone's body... this flexible?
Back when he was with Ying'er before...
How come Lin Yu never noticed it!
Probably didn't explore thoroughly enough, was too gentle.
Next time, maybe try a more forceful approach, might discover something new.
"Little Yu-zi, you're so sneaky!"
"You actually came with silent steps on!"
Lin Yu helplessly held his forehead, saying:
"If I didn't use some tricks, I'd probably never catch you, right?"
"Playing hide-and-seek, why are you risking your life like this!"
"If you really fell, getting bruised all over would be considered lucky."
Ying'er stuck out her tongue, saying with complete nonchalance:
"Hehe, anyway, it wouldn't be scattered pieces here and there."
"Little Yu-zi, you and Weiwei-jie step back a bit, I'll just jump down."
Lin Yu looked at the height between the cabinet and the opposite side.
It was hard to believe Ying'er, with her hidden leg ailment, could land safely!

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!

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
