The scene in the dream was still Ye Mengfu's bedroom.
Strangely enough,
the bedroom door had transformed into a massive mechanical wheel, slowly rotating.
Ye Mengfu recognized it.
It was the Wheel of Fortune she had drawn herself.
The Wheel of Fortune, which should have been on a card, had somehow escaped.
It left her utterly flustered, unsure of what to do.
The scene before her
felt like something out of a fairy-tale castle, brimming with a dreamlike aura.
The next moment,
a blinding white light flashed, forcing Ye Mengfu to instinctively shield her eyes, unable to look directly at it.
After the sudden burst of light,
it gathered and condensed into a single point.
Sensing the light fade, Ye Mengfu lowered her hands from her eyes and looked ahead…
Just one glance
made her heart race and her cheeks flush crimson.
The runaway Wheel of Fortune had been "sealed" back into the card.
And the boy walking toward her, holding the card… was none other than Lin Yu!
"I-I'm sorry…"
Ye Mengfu had no idea why she was apologizing.
For some reason, she felt responsible—as if Lin Yu’s card escaping and causing mischief was her fault.
Lin Yu, now standing before her, didn’t scold her.
Instead, he patted her head, raised the card, and said,
"Helped you catch it. This time, keep it safe so it doesn’t run away again."
Ye Mengfu nodded obediently, like a little chick pecking at rice.
She let Lin Yu tuck the card back into her kangaroo pocket.
But this time,
after placing the card inside, Lin Yu’s hand lingered, gently wrapping around her waist.
Ye Mengfu tensed up, her breath hitching, her body frozen.
Especially when she saw Lin Yu’s face gradually leaning closer.
Helpless, she could only squeeze her eyes shut and surrender to fate.
……
"Hah…"
"Hah…"
The dream vanished.
Ye Mengfu abruptly sat up in bed,
gasping for air.
In the dream, she had been holding her breath for what felt like at least two minutes.
If not for her brain’s self-preservation kicking in, she might have stayed in that suffocating state.
Realizing it had all been a dream,
Ye Mengfu covered her face in embarrassment and flopped back down.
Why had she dreamed something like that?
She had never had such a dream before!
Could it be…?
Ye Mengfu rolled over and pulled out the Wheel of Fortune card from under her pillow.
Do tarot cards really have special powers?
Just keeping it under her pillow had made her dream about it.
And not just any dream—
that kind of dream.
Ye Mengfu quickly sat up again, intending to move the card somewhere else.
But after sluggishly making it to the edge of the bed, she froze, unable to take the next step.
Gently tracing the card’s intricate patterns, she recalled the words Lin Yu had said to her earlier that day.
After hesitating for a long while,
she crawled back under the covers and tucked the card right back under her pillow.
……
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host! Your intimate relationship with the Joyous Sect’s Talisman Master has deepened, advancing to the fourth realm—"Silken Threads of Fate"!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones.]
The system’s notification blared in his mind,
"Thoughtfully" forcing Lin Yu’s brain to boot up.
He grabbed his phone and checked the time… 5:35 AM!
Did that little artist have some weird nightmare or something?
Pleasant dreams usually lasted until sunrise, waking you up naturally.
How could she only make it to 5:30?
Oh, really?
Daring to force him awake like this?
Fine.
He’d haunt her dreams for a whole week.
She’d learn what it meant when—
He entered the dream, and the entire sect would tremble!
Lin Yu flopped back down and dozed off again.
Just as he had predicted the day before,
at exactly 7:00 AM,
the system’s wake-up call arrived on schedule…
[Ding!]
[Today is another day full of hope!]
[Continue exploring the Path of Joy, Host~ Strive to become the pillar of the sect!]
Lin Yu groggily opened his eyes.
Once again, he recalled the classic lyrics from an underground rap legend:
"But~ it just won’t switch to vibrate~ it just won’t switch to vibrate!"
He reopened the system interface.
After just one day, his status in the sect had changed again.

Chief Disciple of the Joyous Sect!
All that hard work for a day hadn’t been in vain!
From a small-time errand boy to a big-time errand boy!
The newly added daily missions made that abundantly clear.
Aside from the updated [Daily Missions],
two new [Urgent Missions] had also appeared!
Sister Ruirui must have lost a pet—probably frantically searching everywhere right now.
Her pet shop wasn’t just for selling animals.
Many were boarded there for care.
Losing her own pet would be heartbreaking enough.
But losing someone else’s? That would be a disaster.
As for the other urgent mission, the description was straightforward.
His little girlfriend, Chi Qingshui…
Was having her monthly visitor!
If a girl told a guy:
"It’s that time, and my stomach hurts,"
the typical responses were:
"Drink more water."
"Drink warm water."
"Drink brown sugar water."
"Maybe take some painkillers?"
Lin Yu couldn’t just say the same, even if he thought it.
But!
As the Chief Disciple of the Joyous Sect, how could he be stumped by something as trivial as a menstrual cycle?
