Shen Jiuyi: "!!!"
Something was wrong!
She had been tricked!
Lin Yu's sudden change in demeanor sent Shen Jiuyi's heart leaping into her throat.
Just moments ago, he had maintained a respectful distance.
Now, however, Shen Jiuyi had practically delivered herself right to him.
In a split second.
Her instinctive reaction was to get up immediately and dodge the dangerous Lin Yu.
Unfortunately.
Shen Jiuyi's thoughts were completely within Lin Yu's calculations.
Having dared to speak so boldly, how could Lin Yu not be prepared?
Just as Shen Jiuyi attempted to rise, she made a shocking discovery...
Her hands and feet refused to obey her commands!
What was going on?
She didn't see anything tying her down!
Lin Yu cracked his knuckles and said:
"Little Jiu, you were too careless!"
"You've heard me say so many times that I know kung fu."
"Didn't you know I have a technique called..."
"The Bone-Melting Soft Fist!"
Shen Jiuyi: "!!!"
She had indeed heard Xia Yiwei and Chi Qingchi talk about this at Lin Yu's birthday party.
According to their firsthand accounts.
Lin Yu's kung fu was extremely eerie and seemed to be related to the body's acupoints.
Once he struck a point, the victim would instantly lose all strength, unable to find any leverage, as if paralyzed.
When she heard about it back then, Shen Jiuyi didn't realize the severity of the matter at all.
Only by experiencing it firsthand could she perceive the horror within.
"Lin Yu, you... what exactly do you want to do?"
"I... I have absolutely no interest in men!"
In her desperation.
Shen Jiuyi began to speak indiscriminately.
She would try anything to stop this atrocity from happening.
Lin Yu stood up and positioned himself directly across from Shen Jiuyi.
He didn't refute her; instead, he played along with her words:
"You really have no interest in men?"
Shen Jiuyi nodded rapidly, affirming the statement.
Lin Yu continued nonchalantly:
"What does that have to do with me?"
"I'm interested in women!"
Shen Jiuyi: "???"
This... had this guy started being completely unreasonable and unable to understand human language?
Lin Yu placed his hand on Shen Jiuyi's collar and tugged gently:
"Little Jiu, listen carefully to the voice in your heart..."
"Do you really want to resist?"
Shen Jiuyi blushed and retorted anxiously:
"Of course! What you're doing is very... very shameless."
Lin Yu took his approach a step further and asked again:
"Is that really so? You've studied Purple Star Astrology since you were young."
"Do you still not understand the principle of conforming to destiny and following your true heart?"
"Your mouth says it's shameless, but in your heart, that's not what I'm hearing at all!"
"You're rushing me to make a move..."
"Hoping that I won't stop..."
Shen Jiuyi shook her head incessantly.
"No... it's not like that at all... you're talking nonsense!"
"A astrological chart cannot determine a person's fate; fate is..."
"Fate is grasped in one's own hands!"
Shen Jiuyi turned beet red, her eyes gradually becoming vacant and hollow.
Lin Yu then threw out a fatal rhetorical question:
"Oh? So when it comes to yourself, it's 'man conquers nature'."
"But when it comes to Yaoyao, it's 'fate determines life'."
"Shen Jiuyi, have you always lived with such double standards?"
"Or could it be..."
"You simply don't have the courage to face your true self?"
Shen Jiuyi felt as if her brain had been struck by lightning: "!!!"
The truth she had been unwilling to admit in the depths of her heart was ruthlessly torn open by Lin Yu.
The life principles branded into her heart for over a decade—how could they be shaken so easily?
But Lin Yu was right...
It wasn't that she believed in what the astrological charts showed; she simply lacked the courage to face reality.
She told Yaoyao to resign herself to fate and live a lonely life, yet she herself didn't even have the courage to resign to fate...
Lin Yu looked at Shen Jiuyi's trembling eyes and knew the timing was about right.
He gently caressed Shen Jiuyi's cheek and continued:
"It seems I don't need to say much more; you should already have the answer in your heart."
"There is nothing wrong with living by obeying the will of the heavens."
"When you've thought it through, remember to come find me on your own initiative."
As his voice faded.
Lin Yu's figure vanished from Shen Jiuyi's sight.
To create an extreme atmosphere, Lin Yu controlled the power of the rules within the dream.
He pulled all the surrounding light into darkness.
Lin Yu himself hid in a corner, watching the despondent Shen Jiuyi under the sole remaining source of light.
Forgive me, forgive me.
Forced by the situation, I had no other choice.
If he didn't use this kind of metaphysical method, Lin Yu really couldn't think of any other way.
What other method could make the astute Shen Jiuyi let go of all her inhibitions?
Especially since she knew about the relationship between Antique Sister and Lin Yu.
The only solution he could think of was essentially this.
As for whether it would succeed, it was probably impossible to judge within the dream.
He would have to wait until he left the dreamscape to see the aftereffects!
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
"..."
The humming sound of the dream shattering soon followed.
In this dream world, there was no danger.
The reason for the shattering sensation.
Was entirely due to Shen Jiuyi's extreme sorrow!
The current her was experiencing the darkest moment of her life!
...
Not long after.
Lin Yu woke up from his sleep.
Half of his shoulder and arm were completely numb and devoid of sensation.
Through the moonlight shining in from the window, he could clearly see the beautiful back in his arms, which was even more lustrous than the moonlight itself.
Senior sister Fang was still fast asleep, sleeping exceptionally sweetly.
Her profile looked even more demure and enchanting.
Lin Yu slowly extricated his arm, wanting to liberate his limb first.
If she continued to press on it, he would definitely suffer when he woke up again.
Finally.
The arm was successfully removed.
Lin Yu took out his phone, wanting to check the time.
Unexpectedly.
The silent phone screen was lit up, displaying caller information...
Shen Jiuyi!
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Was her reaction that fast?
He had just finished the dream; it hadn't even been two minutes.
And Shen Jiuyi was already calling?
Obviously, she must have something very particular and urgent to say to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu looked behind him; there was no sign of Fang Xinran waking up.
Only then did he feel safe enough to pick up the phone, get out of bed, and go to the bathroom to answer it.
"Hello, Little Jiu, it's so late, what's up?"
Lin Yu adopted a lazy tone, keeping his voice as low as possible.
But not too low.
Someone as smart as Shen Jiuyi would easily deduce that there was someone sleeping next to him.
Originally, not answering the phone would have been fine.
He absolutely couldn't let answering the phone be the thing that got him in trouble!
However.
Lin Yu's worries seemed entirely superfluous.
Shen Jiuyi on the other end of the line sounded like she had no mind to care about such things.
She spoke very quickly:
"Lin Yu, I want to ask you out."
Lin Yu: "???"
Holy crap?
So direct?
No extra words at all, going straight to the main topic and throwing out the critical question immediately.
This dream invasion was worth it!
He had actually managed to punch a hole right through that iceberg!
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...

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.
