Feeling heartbroken because a good friend is leaving the city they lived in together.
Lin Yu could completely understand that.
But there was absolutely no need for her to drink herself into this state.
Fortunately.
The background of the voice message was very quiet, unlike some noisy venue.
Nor did it sound like the little tavern where they drank together last time.
Perhaps.
His senior was drinking at home!
Lin Yu had always been very resistant to using "technological methods" on his fellow members.
They were all people who trusted Lin Yu completely.
He simply couldn't bring himself to use such things on people who trusted him!
But this time.
To prioritize his senior's safety, Lin Yu had no choice but to do so.
If any danger occurred, it would be too late for Lin Yu to regret it.
Before activating his methods, Lin Yu made a voice call to Tang Yimian, followed by a regular phone call.
The result was the same; no one answered.
Subsequently.
Lin Yu quickly locked onto Tang Yimian's phone number and tracked her location.
Seeing the specific information displayed on the map, Lin Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness.
The location displayed was inside the apartment.
It seemed that before drinking to drown her sorrows, his senior had also considered her own safety and alcohol tolerance.
She didn't go out to drink, but chose to hole up at home instead.
This spared her from a lot of unnecessary risks.
No wonder the system didn't issue a crisis warning.
Now reassured.
Lin Yu immediately took a taxi back.
On the way back, he kept trying to see if he could get through to Tang Yimian's phone.
The habit of falling asleep right after drinking was not a good habit at all!
When he got back this time, he definitely had to give his senior a proper reminder.
When there was no one she trusted around, she absolutely couldn't drink like this.
It was too easy for things to go wrong!
Even if she fell asleep drinking at home.
If there was no one around to keep an eye on her, accidents could still happen.
In the news these past few years, were there really that few people who had accidents because of drinking?
After Lin Yu returned to the apartment, he headed straight for Tang Yimian's room on the second floor.
He was lucky.
He didn't run into any other fellow members late at night, sparing him the need for unnecessary explanations.
Otherwise.
He would have had to go back to his own room first and put on a whole act of getting ready for bed.
Standing in front of Tang Yimian's door, Lin Yu decided against knocking.
At this moment, Tang Yimian probably wouldn't wake up even if lightning struck.
If a ringing phone couldn't rouse her, would knocking on the door do any good?
Most likely.
Knocking wouldn't attract Tang Yimian's attention, but rather that of the other girls on the same floor.
Knocking on a door late at night would inevitably arouse deeper suspicions.
After some internal struggle.
Lin Yu slowly took out from his pocket...
A skeleton key!
Ever since dealing with Ying'er's "weapon", Lin Yu had kept this little gadget on him at all times.
It wasn't that he subjectively wanted to do anything bad.
It was just that after seeing how Ying'er used it, he felt it was genuinely useful.
So he carried it with him, thinking that sooner or later it would come in handy.
And wouldn't you know, the opportunity had arrived.
Heaven knows.
Lin Yu's actions were absolutely not to be a pervert; he was purely worried about his family.
He couldn't just pretend nothing had happened when he knew full well that Senior Tang was passed out drunk alone in her room, right?
Lin Yu took the skeleton key and gently poked it into the keyhole.
He wiggled it back and forth slightly to ensure the skeleton key aligned perfectly with the tumblers.
Click...
Hearing the crisp sound of the lock mechanism engaging.
A ripple of excitement washed through Lin Yu's heart!
As expected of a skeleton key that could open ten thousand locks, it was too easy!
Lin Yu applied a little force.
The tightly shut door was easily pushed open...
Hiss!
Lin Yu could not help but gasp, shivering repeatedly.
The strong stench of alcohol hit his face, making his heart tremble.
Just what proof of alcohol was she drinking?
Drowning her sorrows with beer wasn't enough; she had actually gone straight for baijiu!
No wonder his senior's speech was even more slurred than last time.
Lin Yu entered the room, thoughtfully locked the door behind him, and walked toward the inner bedroom.
At this moment, Tang Yimian.
She was sitting crookedly on the floor, her back leaning against the side of the bed, her head resting on her shoulder.
She was sleeping in the corner in a rather uncomfortable posture.
On the small table in front of her sat a bottle of 52-degree baijiu, a third of it gone.
Lin Yu tapped his forehead helplessly.
It seemed.
His senior hadn't even drunk that much!
It was purely that her alcohol tolerance was terrible, and she had forced herself to drink for a long time.
Getting into this state after so little alcohol, his senior definitely ranked among the worst in the apartment when it came to holding her liquor.
If her tolerance was bad, she shouldn't try to drown her sorrows just because she was upset.
In the end.
Wasn't she just harming her own body?
Drinking at home was still somewhat fine.
If she had been outside and ran into some lecher who picked her up and took her home...
Who could she complain to then?
These days, if you wanted to maintain your personal safety, it was hard to do so when dead drunk.
While thinking.
Lin Yu picked Tang Yimian up from the floor... no, scooped her up into his arms!
"Yimian, Yimian?"
"If you sleep on the floor, your body will ache terribly tomorrow!"
"Why did you drink so much?"
"Next time you really want to drink, just come straight to me. I'll keep you company."
Lin Yu tried to converse with Tang Yimian as he walked toward the bed.
Hearing Lin Yu's voice, Tang Yimian groggily opened her eyes.
"Xiao Yu? You're here?"
"Oh... no, this must be another dream..."
"Wasn't I just drinking alone in my room..."
"Sure enough, when I drink too much, I dream about you."
"Xiao Yu, I've actually dreamed about you quite a few times already. You definitely don't know."
Tang Yimian said as she poked Lin Yu's cheek.
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Hiss!
His senior in this state didn't seem too bad either, huh?
Last time, when he carried Senior Tang on his back to Senior Fang's house, Lin Yu had sensed that she had the potential to act recklessly after drinking.
Just as expected.
Now they were back in that exact same atmosphere!
If Senior Tang were sober, she would absolutely never dare to make such an intimate move for no reason.
Even though their relationship had already taken a step forward verbally, she was still completely on the passive side.
How could she take the initiative to poke his face?
What was even more fatal was...
Senior Tang thought she was in a dream!
This was the benefit of repeatedly insisting on using the Dream Entry Technique!
After a little while.
It truly became difficult to distinguish whether this was a real feeling or if she had appeared in a dream again.
After all.
The dream worlds Lin Yu created were far too realistic.
Tang Yimian wasn't the only girl whose emotions were drawn in, affecting her reality.
Anyway, it wasn't Lin Yu who brought up the things that happened in the dreams.
Since Senior Tang thought this way, how could Lin Yu bear to burst her dream bubble?
Lin Yu couldn't help but ask:
"Oh? Yimian, you've dreamed about it that many times?"
"Were they all... wild and youthful dreams?"
Hearing this, Tang Yimian burst straight into laughter.
She laughed very brightly, very cheerfully.
"Hahaha, people who write books really do speak differently."
"In the dream, you always treated me... like this!"

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.”
