Lin Yu froze on the spot.
It felt as if someone had taken his brain out of his skull, slapped it hard, and then stuffed it back in.
Lin Yu: "!!!"
What the hell kind of question was that? Wasn't it a bit too direct?
Shen Jiuyi was quite a straightforward girl.
The premise of her asking such a question...
Was that she had already thought so in her heart!
Therefore.
No matter what Lin Yu answered, it didn't seem to matter much.
Shen Jiuyi already had a predetermined answer in her mind!
Lin Yu took a deep breath. "I..."
Shen Jiuyi: "Alright, you thought about it for more than three seconds. I understand now."
Lin Yu: "..."
Wasn't it normal to be surprised when such a question was asked?
What the hell did taking more than three seconds mean!
And she said she understood?
If she had understood, she wouldn't have dared to come looking for Lin Yu today!
Regardless.
Lin Yu still had to say something to cover for himself.
He tried his best to pretend to be relaxed and said with a smile,
"Haha, Little Jiu, is this the kind of image I have in your heart?"
"But I'm truly wronged. I never thought you would see me this way."
As soon as he said this.
Shen Jiuyi, who was in the dark, took half a step back, widening the distance between them.
Lin Yu: "???"
Why was that?
Was that half-step back serious?
Shen Jiuyi thought Lin Yu couldn't see, but Lin Yu saw it clearly.
Immediately after.
Shen Jiuyi spoke again:
"Just now I said I understood, but actually, I don't understand anything."
Lin Yu's eyes twitched. "..."
Great, just great.
Playing games with him like this, huh?
Baiting him!
Whether she understood or not wasn't important; what was important was to see Lin Yu's reaction.
And the way Lin Yu chose to react was to try and cover for himself!
Perhaps in the eyes of others, covering up like this was nothing.
But based on Shen Jiuyi's understanding of Lin Yu, she probably had her own unique insight and could catch the terrifying information hidden within.
Anyway, no matter how he behaved, explained, or proved himself.
Shen Jiuyi wouldn't take it seriously and would only agree with her own thoughts.
This made Lin Yu feel stifled, and he had an impulsive urge to teach Shen Jiuyi a lesson!
Lin Yu lowered his voice, creating a tense atmosphere:
"So? Little Jiu, what exactly do you want to say?"
"Listening to your voice, it seems like you are very far away from me?"
"It's just the two of us here. Is it necessary to stand so far away?"
As he spoke.
Lin Yu took step after step forward, closing the distance between him and Shen Jiuyi.
As he walked over, he deliberately stepped heavily and loudly.
His purpose was to let Shen Jiuyi hear it and make her heart clench.
But he never expected.
Lin Yu still underestimated Shen Jiuyi's determination today.
As Lin Yu advanced step by step, the distance between him and Shen Jiuyi grew smaller and smaller.
If it had been the previous Shen Jiuyi.
She would either choose to continue stepping back to avoid him, or she would speak up to remind Lin Yu.
But today.
She stood in place without moving a single step.
In Lin Yu's eyes...
It was as if she was deliberately standing there, waiting for Lin Yu to come over!
After coming out of Shen Jiuyi's dream world.
Lin Yu had thought about what kind of emotional changes Shen Jiuyi would have.
He just didn't expect that she would think of such a direct way.
Seeing that Shen Jiuyi was completely still.
Lin Yu reached out his hand and gradually groped forward.
Soon.
His arm accurately touched Shen Jiuyi's...
Shoulder!
Lin Yu could clearly feel Shen Jiuyi's whole body tremble.
Her breathing also became heavier for a moment, but she quickly suppressed it.
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Is it this easy?
She really wasn't dodging!
He originally thought that when he touched her, Shen Jiuyi wouldn't be able to stand it and would run away.
He completely didn't expect that she wouldn't do so, and instead stood stiffly in place.
Lin Yu didn't speak, and the hand gripping Shen Jiuyi's shoulder applied a little more force.
With almost no resistance, Shen Jiuyi was pulled forward a little.
Lin Yu could conclude for sure...
If he were to embrace her right now.
With Shen Jiuyi's current state of mind, she definitely wouldn't be able to refuse.
Hiss!
The normally cold girl was suddenly too cooperative, which made Lin Yu afraid to make a move easily.
Especially considering the relationship between Shen Jiuyi and Shen Buyao.
This meant Lin Yu had to ensure he made a move without any risks.
If he mishandled it, all the information advantage he had previously established would be completely wiped out.
Lin Yu suppressed his psychological restlessness and asked as calmly as possible:
"Little Jiu, why aren't you speaking?"
"What exactly did you call me here for?"
"You asked a weird question and then went silent. Could it be that what you're looking for me about is related to that question?"
Shen Jiuyi's cheeks were burning hot, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
She knew Lin Yu wasn't a brainless guy.
He must have already guessed the gist of it in his heart, but was deliberately not saying it.
He wanted to hear Shen Jiuyi say it out loud.
To be honest.
Shen Jiuyi's mind was in a mess right now.
When she called Lin Yu in the early hours of the morning, she hadn't actually fully figured out what kind of help she needed from Lin Yu.
All day today, she had been thinking about whether there was any way that wouldn't affect the relationship between the three of them.
Unfortunately.
Matters of fate were beyond human control.
If she adopted some mild methods, not only would she be unable to resolve her doubts.
Similar problems might also follow her throughout her life, continuing on forever.
Shen Jiuyi didn't want to be troubled forever.
She just wanted to solve it once and for all, getting rid of the interference of the nightmare from then on!
It was Shen Jiuyi who took the initiative to invite Lin Yu.
In terms of momentum.
She was already at a disadvantage compared to Lin Yu.
Being manipulated by Lin Yu's bantering and playing dumb on the spot was already within Shen Jiuyi's expectations.
As long as she could get Lin Yu to agree to help her, letting her explain things clearly wasn't a difficult task.
Subsequently.
Shen Jiuyi spoke:
"Lin Yu, you are the only person who knows the truth about my fate."
Lin Yu quickly chimed in and said:
"Hey!"
"You can't say it like that..."
"I'm the second!"
"Aren't you a person too?"
Shen Jiuyi: "..."
A casual interruption from Lin Yu could further escalate Shen Jiuyi's emotions.
How could Lin Yu let go of such a good opportunity?
Are you kidding me!
She had already delivered herself right to his mouth.
How could he not entertain her thoroughly?
Shen Jiuyi took a deep breath, trying her best to keep her mood calm, and continued:
"I want to ask you to help me verify something, something about my fate."
At this point.
Shen Jiuyi paused temporarily, sorting out her chaotic thoughts, thinking about how to explain the matter in a more normal way.
Lin Yu deliberately made his arm tremble, and the hand gripping Shen Jiuyi's shoulder tightened even more.
He asked in an extremely exaggerated tone:
"Little Jiu, what do you mean by that?"
"Are you trying to use me as a tool to test whether you have... a natural Peach Blossom fate?"
In the darkness.
Shen Jiuyi's cheeks couldn't be seen clearly.
But Lin Yu was absolutely certain that Shen Jiuyi's face must be as red as a monkey's butt.
The kind that could serve as a red traffic light!
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! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
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.
