Hearing Lin Yu's words, Xia Yiwei suddenly felt a surge of playfulness.
She opened her palms and said:
"I guess there are five people!"
"Didn't Lei Siren just say on the phone? Five people are enough!"
"I reckon his cousin isn't a generous guy either, so he definitely only brought five."
Lin Yu said as he walked toward the elevator leading outside:
"Alright, so you're guessing an odd number."
"Then I'll guess his cousin is being generous for once. The number of people here today will be an even number, and more than five!"
Walking behind them, Lei Siren watched the two with their arms around each other's shoulders and didn't feel the slightest bit of envy.
Instead, he was viciously mocking them in his heart:
Show off all you want!
Don't you know that couples who show off their affection die fast?
Once they got to the underground parking lot in a moment, he would let Lin Yu experience...
What true cruelty was!
...
Before long.
The three of them arrived at the underground parking lot together.
The underground parking area of this restaurant was part of a large parking lot for the entire nearby commercial district.
The spot where Lei Siren parked should have been near the elevator.
Since there were plenty of empty spaces anyway, it would be much more convenient to get in and out.
However, after getting off the elevator, Lei Siren made the excuse that his car was parked a bit far away and wanted them to walk a distance ahead.
Lin Yu and Xia Yiwei naturally had a tacit understanding, knowing exactly what kind of cheap trick Lei Siren was playing.
Soon.
A group of seven or eight guys walked out from around a few parked cars.
Lin Yu and Xia Yiwei looked ahead at the same time...
The actors had arrived!
And there were indeed more than five of them.
"Five, six, seven, eight... nine of them!"
"Hahaha, little master, I still won!"
Xia Yiwei excitedly pulled on Lin Yu's arm.
Thinking about the drama that was about to unfold, how could she not be excited?
Ever since the dojo challenge last time, Xia Yiwei hadn't seen Lin Yu in action for a long time.
Last time he was facing her sister, so Lin Yu had held back somewhat.
After all.
They would still have to see each other in the future, so how could he not leave her some face?
Furthermore.
Lin Yu had absolutely zero rage meter last time.
He had only challenged the dojo out of necessity to help Xia Yiwei.
This time was completely different!
Lei Siren's brilliant maneuvers had thoroughly stoked Lin Yu's anger.
The current Lin Yu could hardly wait, anticipating their appearance as soon as possible.
Lin Yu let go of Xia Yiwei and cracked his knuckles fiercely.
He chuckled softly and said:
"Weiwei, your luck really isn't bad!"
"I'll count it as your win. Remember to ask me for your reward after this is over."
"I originally don't like using violence to solve problems, but I have no choice..."
"Since some people prefer it this way, I'll let them see that your master is no pushover."
Seeing the approaching men, Lei Siren was thrilled.
The corners of his mouth split into a grin so wide he was afraid Lin Yu and Xia Yiwei wouldn't see it.
He hurriedly pointed in the direction of the men and said to the two:
"Found it, finally found it."
"My memory is really too terrible, haha."
"The car is parked right up ahead. Let's go, let's head over first."
"The driver I called will be here any minute. We can go rest in the car first."
With that said.
Lei Siren ignored Lin Yu and Xia Yiwei's reactions and walked ahead on his own.
By walking a bit faster, it would be easier to make eye contact with the approaching men, after all.
Understandable.
Lin Yu completely understood!
If nothing unexpected happened, something unexpected was about to happen to Lin Yu's group...
Just as Lin Yu expected.
When he led Xia Yiwei to catch up with Lei Siren's footsteps.
The nine burly men up ahead suddenly started to put on an exaggerated performance of being drunk.
"Let me tell you guys, no one is allowed to leave today! We have a second round coming up, we're going to that KTV from last time!"
"Oh man, that place was just average last time, why do you like going there so much?"
"That's right. I think we should find a place to play some cards. It's been a while since we played together, hasn't it?"
"Did you bring enough cash? You're the one bringing up cards, be careful not to lose your pants!"
"..."
The content of their discussion was basically just mindless drivel.
As long as one used their brain even a little, they could easily pick apart the holes in their words.
What kind of gangsters went out drinking and singing in broad daylight?
Real gangsters would just be waking up at this hour!
The people Lei Siren hired were really unprofessional.
They completely couldn't withstand close scrutiny.
But it didn't matter. Lin Yu had great patience, and even when facing such amateurs, he could still maintain his composure.
Generally speaking.
If a passerby bumped into a drunkard and a conflict was meant to happen.
They at least needed to find a decent-sounding point of contention.
Who would have thought...
"Hey! Brothers, there's a little beauty over here!"
"Hey, come take a look, this chick is really pretty!"
"Where? Where?"
"..."
With one person instigating and taking the lead, the rest of them all crowded over.
They pointed their fingers incessantly in the direction Xia Yiwei was walking from.
Lin Yu: "..."
Couldn't they say something of substance?
Wasn't this excuse a bit too cliché?
Was Lei Siren's older cousin really cut from the same cloth as him?
His underlings were completely brainless!
The provocative words they spoke were way too forced, weren't they?
What was worse...
These words directly made Xia Yiwei happy.
She tapped Lin Yu's arm and whispered:
"Hahaha, little master, the little beauty they're talking about couldn't be me, right?"
"How embarrassing! Hahaha..."
For other girls, these might be insulting words and a signal of danger.
But to Xia Yiwei.
Wasn't this pure praise?
It practically praised her right to the bottom of her heart!
Even without looking at her face, Lin Yu could imagine her smug expression.
"Hey, Weiwei, it's better if you restrain yourself a little."
"Whatever you do, don't let them see through our act!"
"Otherwise, wouldn't all the buildup from earlier be a total waste?"
Lin Yu hurriedly reminded Xia Yiwei, telling her to wipe her drool.
The other party wasn't sincerely praising her; they were just looking for an excuse to start a fight.
Hearing Lin Yu's words.
Xia Yiwei regained her senses and immediately put on a frightened look.
She hid behind Lin Yu, pretending she was too scared to look at the men.
When the leader, Buzzcut Fatty with tattoos, saw Xia Yiwei act like this, his interest was instantly piqued even more.
He had probably done similar things plenty of times in other places.
Buzzcut Fatty pinched his chin and said with a lecherous smile:
"Oh, getting shy now?"
"Hahaha, no need to be shy in front of your big bro!"
"Shoo, shoo, kid, get out of the way. Let me see if the little beauty is shedding tears."
Buzzcut Fatty shot a look to the few guys beside him.
Signaling them to match his pace.
Just in case Lin Yu suddenly attacked, at least everyone could strike back at the same time.
Before coming here, Buzzcut Fatty had looked into Lin Yu's background in advance.
A boxer!
That title didn't mean much in Lei Siren's eyes, because the beatings wouldn't land on him, so naturally he didn't need to care.
But whoever took the beating would know the pain!
Buzzcut Fatty and his brothers maintained a certain level of vigilance against Lin Yu.
Furthermore.
Hearing someone hit on his girlfriend like this, how could a boxer possibly hold back?
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.
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...

The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules.
