[Ding!]
[Brilliant move! The Holy Son's ambiguous actions have made his Dao Companion's heart flutter!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones]
Lin Yu's small gesture had indeed flustered Mao Ruirui.
Mao Ruirui thought Lin Yu had woken up, and for a moment, she was too shy to even look at him.
As it turned out.
Apart from that initial little movement, Lin Yu didn't make any further moves.
He remained motionless on her lap, looking as if he had fallen fast asleep.
Mao Ruirui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, which soon turned into a smile.
She hadn't expected Lin Yu to be so domineering even in his sleep.
He was completely unwilling to let anyone else touch him.
It wasn't like she had pulled him onto her lap; hadn't he laid down there himself?
If he kept lying like this, he would definitely wake up with a sore body.
Mao Ruirui shifted her body slightly, trying to place his head back onto the pillow.
At the very least.
Sleeping like this, Lin Yu would feel a bit more comfortable when he woke up.
But after trying, she realized...
Let alone moving his head.
She couldn't even pull her own hand free!
How did a sleeping Lin Yu still have so much strength?
He was holding her hand tightly. Reluctant to use force, she could only watch helplessly as her hand remained in his grasp.
After her futile attempts.
Mao Ruirui: "..."
Should she just stay here with Xiao Yu like this?
It seemed there was no other viable option anyway.
Unfortunately.
Mao Ruirui was thinking too simply.
Lin Yu had no intention of just pretending to be asleep and lying there indefinitely.
Seeing that Mao Ruirui had given up resisting, he grew even bolder.
Such a perfect opportunity with the right time and place didn't come by often.
If he didn't take advantage of this moment to bring them closer, who knew how long he'd have to wait for the next chance!
Lin Yu was certainly not someone to waste a golden opportunity.
One hand was already holding hers down.
Soon.
His other hand reached over.
Like hugging a plush toy, he wrapped both hands around her arm.
This action.
Really put Mao Ruirui in a difficult position.
She hurriedly bent over, trying her best to accommodate his movements.
But by doing so.
Her upper body ended up much closer to the side of his face.
Fortunately.
Lin Yu was still asleep and couldn't see this embarrassing scene.
Otherwise.
Mao Ruirui would have felt absolutely mortified and wouldn't know how to face him.
"So cool..."
Lin Yu rubbed against her hand, muttering continuously.
Mao Ruirui's face instantly flushed red.
Thinking about it.
Her hands were probably cool because she had just been handling ice cubes.
It was very common to feel hot all over after drinking, especially after having white liquor.
If her touch made him feel a bit cooler, he would be able to sleep more comfortably.
"Eh..."
At this critical moment.
The situation changed once again.
The slumbering Lin Yu began to twist and turn his body.
It was as if he realized he wasn't lying on a pillow, and that most of his body was still on the bed.
So.
Lin Yu started shifting towards the bed, searching for the pillow.
This movement.
Completely shattered their delicate physical balance.
Mao Ruirui's hand was still trapped in his embrace!
With almost no resistance against his strength, she was entirely dragged forward by his momentum.
She obviously couldn't keep sitting on the chair and still accommodate his movements.
She had no choice but to awkwardly stand up, stumbling and almost collapsing right on top of him.
Luckily, throughout the process, Lin Yu didn't move too quickly.
This gave Mao Ruirui time to adjust, preventing her from actually squashing him.
However, their current posture looked extremely bizarre.
Mao Ruirui was only kept from falling onto him by propping one hand on the pillow and pressing her knees against the edge of the bed.
Her other hand was pulled all the way over to the side near the wall.
The whole setup made it look exactly like she was trying to sneak a kiss from him!
[Ding!]
[Brilliant move! Intimate contact with the Holy Son has set the Dao Companion's heart racing!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones]
Mao Ruirui: "!!!"
That was close. So close.
Just a little bit more.
She had managed not to disturb Xiao Yu this whole time, and he was finally resting peacefully.
If she fell on him now, wouldn't all her previous efforts be completely wasted?
Thank goodness.
She had managed to hold her ground at the very last second and avoid waking him up.
But then.
Something completely unexpected happened...
Lin Yu, who she thought was fast asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.
He stared with a confused look at Mao Ruirui, who was hovering just inches away from his face.
Mao Ruirui froze on the spot, her mind instantly going blank.
What was going on?
Wasn't he dead to the world just a second ago?
How did he wake up so suddenly!
Was it because her movements were too big and she had woken him up after all?
Of course.
That was no longer the main issue.
The real problem was that their current positioning and situation looked incredibly compromising!
Judging by the look in Xiao Yu's eyes, did he actually think she was trying to take advantage of his drunken state to do something to him?
This is a misunderstanding! What a huge misunderstanding!
Lin Yu didn't speak right away; instead, he kept his gaze fixed on Mao Ruirui's eyes.
Locking eyes with someone is when a person feels the most nervous, their heart racing at its fastest.
The current atmosphere was completely under Lin Yu's control.
It had perfectly achieved the effect he desired.
Having finally seized such an opportunity, he naturally couldn't let it slip away so easily.
He needed to mess with Mao Ruirui's mind a little more. That way, whatever happened next could be chalked up to a moment of intoxicating passion, rather than her just mechanically following orders.
"Xiao Yu, it's not... it's not what you think..."
"It was you just now... No! It was me just now..."
Mao Ruirui desperately wanted to explain herself.
But she was clumsy with words, and she felt entirely incapable of making sense of the situation.
Should she push all the blame onto Lin Yu?
That sounded incredibly irresponsible and simply wasn't in her nature.
But if she didn't explain, it felt like she was disrespecting Xiao Yu.
Caught in this dilemma, Mao Ruirui had absolutely no idea what to say.
She decided her only option was to stand up first, gather her thoughts, and explain things to Lin Yu slowly.
To her surprise...
The moment she tried to get up, Lin Yu shifted his weight and pressed himself against her back.
Mao Ruirui: "!!!"
The momentum she used to stand was instantly pinned down by Lin Yu.
For a brief moment, Mao Ruirui almost lost her ability to think all over again.
What did this mean?
What was Xiao Yu planning to do?
Having spent all this time cultivating the perfect mood, Lin Yu finally spoke.
"Ruirui, don't move."
These simple words struck her mind like a direct command.
They completely crushed any lingering urge she had to stand up.
She stayed frozen in her current posture, no longer fighting the signals her brain was sending, and simply stared blankly at Lin Yu.
Caught in this intimate moment...
Mao Ruirui had no idea what Lin Yu was going to do next, yet she found herself waiting for his next cue...
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
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.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
