Shen Jiuyi clenched her jaw.
She desperately wanted to organize her words to refute Lin Yu.
But...
Truth be told.
There didn't seem to be anything wrong with what Lin Yu said.
Harsh as it was, vulgar as it was, the logic was sound!
Even if she wanted to retort, she couldn't find a suitable angle.
After holding it in for a long time, Shen Jiuyi could only respond helplessly:
"Yes, that's roughly what I meant."
The next moment.
Lin Yu quickly let go of the hand he had resting on Shen Jiuyi's shoulder:
"Little Jiu, aren't you making things difficult for me?"
"Even if I were the kind of person you described, I don't just do it with anyone on command!"
Shen Jiuyi: "..."
How awful!
The way Lin Yu spoke was truly awful!
With the conversation reaching this point, he could still backtrack and smooth it over?
Could it be that he was worried Shen Jiuyi was just testing him, and not genuinely asking for help?
Shen Jiuyi still tried her best to maintain her rationality, continuing to express herself:
"Lin Yu, please don't twist my words."
Lin Yu pressed on:
"Then tell me, what exactly are you trying to say?"
"Don't you just want to sleep with me to see if your nature is truly someone who loves sleeping around?"
The corners of Shen Jiuyi's eyes twitched incessantly: "..."
W-well, he didn't seem to be wrong.
But it made her extremely reluctant to admit it!
When you didn't know how to wrap things up, the best approach was always to remain sincere.
Shen Jiuyi launched into a rare lengthy speech, detailing her inner thoughts step by step...
"Lin Yu, I'll be honest with you."
"Ever since you read my destiny chart, I've been having dreams lately."
"The contents of the dreams are mostly the same, basically revolving around my destiny."
"I've been deeply troubled by this for many days, and I don't want it to continue like this."
"It makes me feel like I'm very strange, both in my behavior and my thoughts."
"I haven't felt this way in a long time. It's like when I was a child and didn't know how to do something, desperately hoping someone would tell me what to do."
"Actually, coming to you now, I'm not saying we absolutely have to do anything."
"I just want to see, if under circumstances with absolutely no interference."
"Whether I would do the same things as in my dreams, whether I would truly be completely powerless to resist my destiny."
"Putting it this way, can you understand?"
Shen Jiuyi expressed her thoughts sincerely and methodically.
Although if one thought about it carefully, there were many points worth criticizing in this idea.
But this was indeed the best solution she could come up with at this stage.
The room fell quiet for a moment.
Shen Jiuyi didn't disturb Lin Yu; she knew he also needed time to think.
This was perfectly normal.
No matter what kind of person Lin Yu was.
Faced with someone suddenly making such an absurd request, especially a familiar friend.
It would be too strange if he didn't stop to think!
Would such a person even be salvageable?
After the silence, Lin Yu suddenly blurted out:
"Alright, I get it... You're just shifting the blame onto me, huh?"
Shen Jiuyi: "???"
How did he get that from what she said?
She didn't mean that at all!
Was her explanation not sincere enough, not clear enough?
As long as he used his brain a little, he should have understood what she was trying to say!
Lin Yu continued his frantic tirade:
"You're basically saying that I read your destiny chart and messed it up!"
"And now you want me to bear the consequences of this mistake and continue solving your problems?"
Shen Jiuyi: "..."
Lin Yu's bizarre way of thinking always managed to push Shen Jiuyi to the brink of irritation and breakdown.
It seemed like every time she followed Lin Yu's train of thought, his logic actually made sense.
Shen Jiuyi took a deep breath, adjusting her breathing rhythm as she said:
"Because of Yaoyao, I hesitated for a long time."
"If you're unwilling to help me out of this concern, I can accept that."
"I also know my behavior is terrible, and I might lose my very last way out."
"You can think whatever you want of me. This matter has nothing to do with Yaoyao, and it won't have anything to do with her in the future."
"If you don't want to help me, just pretend today..."
Halfway through her sentence.
Shen Jiuyi abruptly stopped, unable to continue.
Because she noticed that Lin Yu's hand...
Had once again grabbed her shoulder, though with a lighter touch than before.
He was rubbing it gently, almost imperceptibly, causing Shen Jiuyi's little heart to leap into her throat.
Then.
Lin Yu spoke up:
"I should still help you out."
"Since this whole thing started because of me, I can't just stay out of it."
"I can't just watch you find some strange man to help you, right?"
"I'll take responsibility for the mess I've made."
Shen Jiuyi pondered this blankly for a moment.
There didn't seem to be anything else to say.
She could only say...
"Thank you."
Inexplicably, she felt that something was bizarrely wrong.
It felt like Lin Yu's agreement, right after his subtle refusal, came a bit too quickly?
So fast that Shen Jiuyi was left in a daze.
It seemed...
She had been completely figured out by Lin Yu once again!
Shen Jiuyi continued:
"I won't make things difficult for you."
Lin Yu: "Yeah, not difficult."
Shen Jiuyi: "..."
Before Shen Jiuyi could elaborate further, Lin Yu's hand had already slid from her shoulder to her waist.
His movements were so fast and practiced that Shen Jiuyi had absolutely no time to react.
Shen Jiuyi: "We... Mmph!"
Following immediately.
Was a dizzying, passionate long kiss.
Shen Jiuyi had indeed planned to ask Lin Yu for help, and had roughly thought about how to go about it.
But not right now!
Tonight was just about creating a chance to be alone and talk to Lin Yu.
After all.
She still had no way of judging Lin Yu's thoughts, not knowing if he would agree.
The result turned out to be unexpectedly smooth.
Next.
There should have been a time for proper planning, specifically agreeing on which day.
Who knew Lin Yu...
Had no intention of setting a time at all; he had already started right then and there.
Shen Jiuyi desperately wanted to open her mouth to explain herself, and also to tell Lin Yu not to rush in so fast.
But after her lips were sealed, even speaking became a difficult task.
During the few fraction-of-a-second separations, she wanted to seize the opportunity to speak.
However.
Lin Yu changed his kissing angles too quickly, giving her just a little bit of oxygen before starting the next wave.
Once a person's brain entered a state of hypoxia, it was hard to have any rational thoughts.
Led by Lin Yu, Shen Jiuyi stumbled backward.
"Clang!"
Until the two of them bumped into a shelf.
Several empty boxes fell from the shelf before they finally stopped moving.
"Lin Yu!"
Seizing the opportunity, Shen Jiuyi pressed both hands against Lin Yu's face, pushing him back a little.
"What's wrong? Worried about the time?"
"I'm a man who knows his limits. I won't make things difficult for you."
Lin Yu directly threw out the words Shen Jiuyi wanted to say, plunging her back into a state of blank thought.
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.
