It had only been two days since his rebirth.
Lin Yu was already feeling the exhaustion of an ancient emperor.
Damn, reviewing these "memorials" one by one is seriously time-consuming!
After dealing with He Jing,
The red notification dots on WeChat still numbered several.
The person who took the longest to reply to wasn't He Jing, but Aunt Qimeng!
「Aunt Qimeng: Little Yu, I’m really grateful for you today. When you stood up like that, you truly seemed like an adult. I remember you...」
「Aunt Qimeng: Little Yu, I’m so happy you managed to earn so much money on your own. In society...」
「Aunt Qimeng: Little Yu, it feels like it’s been ages since we’ve talked this much. I hope that even with your newfound wealth, you won’t refuse the care I should give you...」
Though Aunt Qimeng’s chat window only showed "3" messages,
Those three messages could easily pass for a thousand-word essay.
Lin Yu read them carefully, savoring every word.
The core themes of the three messages boiled down to:
First, reflecting on the past;
Second, focusing on the present;
Third, looking toward the future.
After deciphering the underlying meaning, Lin Yu responded with lightning-fast typing, composing a mini-essay of his own.
The gist:
In the past, I was immature. Now, I appreciate your kindness. In the future, I’ll be the one taking care of you.
The tone and tense he used were eerily similar to someone trying to win back an ex-girlfriend they had amazing chemistry with.
Not long after...
[Ding!]
[Masterful move! Your warm words acted like a miraculous remedy, filling the acting sect leader’s heart with longing!]
[Reward: 20 Spirit Stones.]
The remaining messages were much easier to handle.
Ying’er sent the location and private room number of the restaurant the cat had chosen.
The reservation was for 6 PM.
Ying’er thoughtfully mentioned she had booked the adjacent private room to ensure they could communicate remotely in real time.
Lin Yu replied briefly, mapping out tomorrow’s schedule.
Dinner at 6 PM.
Then, a trip to Ghost Market Street around 9:30 PM.
Without alcohol, three and a half hours would be more than enough.
Next were the messages from the fishnet-clad nurse, Xia Yiwei.
「Xia Yiwei: Little Master, really no time at all?」
「Xia Yiwei: Not even for a quick meal?」
「Xia Yiwei: You kiss and run, huh?」
Lin Yu decided to leave the nurse’s messages on read for now.
He’d been so irritated with her in the morning that he’d retaliated with that long, drawn-out kiss.
If he replied now, she’d probably never let it go.
Lin Yu had no interest in getting dragged into a fight with her older sister.
Why would a decent guy like him want to make enemies with some tough older sister?
...
Every day was just so packed.
Busy, but happy.
This vibrant, colorful life had Lin Yu eagerly looking forward to tomorrow.
Of course, the day wasn’t over yet.
Back in his apartment, another important person was waiting for him—his online girlfriend!
「Lin Yu: (Photo of a bag of medicine)」
「Lin Yu: Just thinking about having to take all these meds makes me miserable (crying face) (crying face) (crying face)」
Almost instantly, his little girlfriend replied.
「Chen Meng Tingyu: Hubby (hug)」
「Chen Meng Tingyu: You went out to buy medicine this late?」
Lin Yu: "..."
Who do you think got these meds for me?
This was Chi Qingshui, playing God and deliberately setting him up!
If Lin Yu said he bought them himself, wouldn’t that be a lie?
If he said his roommate got them for him, would she start a cold war over it?
If he dodged the question, wouldn’t that make him seem even more suspicious?
When a question has three or more possible answers, and each comes with consequences...
The best solution is to return to the foundation of any relationship: honesty!
「Lin Yu: A female friend happened to be at the pharmacy and picked them up for me.」
「Lin Yu: I already sent her a thank-you red packet.」
「Lin Yu: (Cute sticker)」
「Lin Yu: Just so you know, I’m in high demand. Better step up your game.」
[Ding!]
[Masterful move! Sincere words resonate deepest, a rare and precious quality between cultivation partners!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones.]
Hearing the system’s notification,
He had to admit—
It gave him a tiny sense of accomplishment!
「Chen Meng Tingyu: (Hmph) (Hmph)」
「Chen Meng Tingyu: There’s a narcissist in my phone!」
「Chen Meng Tingyu: Take your meds and get better, and also...」
「Chen Meng Tingyu: Don’t even think about cheating (knife) (knife) (knife)」
「Lin Yu: Yes, ma’am.」
「Lin Yu: Here’s a lullaby for you tonight~」
「Lin Yu: QQ Music—"If Love is Forgotten"—Qi Wei (play button)」
「Chen Meng Tingyu: Thanks, hubby. Let’s fall asleep listening together (hug)」
「Lin Yu: Let’s sleep together (hug) (hug) (hug)」
...
In the twins’ bedroom.
A bunk bed.
Chi Qingshui, wearing light blue pajamas, sat on the top bunk, leaning against the wall, obediently putting on her earphones.
"Some words were never said in time~"
"There’s always that one person, a scar on the heart~"
"..."
Chi Qingshui switched WeChat accounts.
Staring at the red packet Lin Yu had sent, she agonized over whether to accept it.
If she didn’t, wouldn’t Lin Yu misunderstand?
If she did, would he think she was petty?
Misunderstanding or dislike...
Torn, she didn’t know what to choose.
Juggling two identities was so hard!
Lin Yu’s so-called lullaby—
Why did it make her feel worse the more she listened? Why did her heart grow more tangled?
"If love is forgotten, tears refuse to fall~"
"Let those happy moments reach her in my stead~"
"If love is understood, the price of promises~"
"What you couldn’t give me, give to her instead~"
"..."
As the song played, Chi Qingshui instinctively hugged her knees, burying her face in them.
Her heart was a whirlwind of emotions.
Just as she was lost in melancholy,
A small head slowly peeked up from the lower bunk, lips pouting sadly:
"Big sis..."
Chi Qingshui lifted her head:
"Qingchi, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you asleep?"
Chi Qingchi murmured gloomily:
"I don’t know why, but suddenly I feel so sad inside."
Chi Qingshui: "..."
Twin telepathy?
The sisters did occasionally share these strange, inexplicable sensations.
Chi Qingchi continued weakly:
"Big sis..."
"Can I come up and sleep with you tonight?"
Chi Qingshui looked at her sister’s pleading eyes and tugged her pillow to the side:
"Fine, come up. Sleep on the inside."
"I don’t want to fish you off the floor in the middle of the night."
Chi Qingchi’s head immediately ducked back down to grab her pillow,
Cheerfully chanting:
"Big sis is the best!"
...
A quiet summer night.
In the apartment,
Some had returned, while others were still out.
Some slept soundly, while others dreamed.
That night,
The little artist Ye Mengfu had a strange dream...
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.
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. 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!
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.
