Xiang Tiange glared at Lin Yu, puffing up her cheeks.
Of course she could tell he was deliberately teasing her.
“Hmph!”
“Lin Yu, you’re so childish!”
“I thought you’d be more mature.”
“We’re both adults. You can’t get to me with something like that.”
Tiange thought she had found a rather comfortable position to take.
If she kept talking like this, she wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.
But unexpectedly—
Lin Yu reacted far faster than she did.
He nodded and said,
“I think you’re right. That makes sense.”
“We’re adults, so why bother with so much buildup?”
“Why not get straight to the point?”
As he spoke,
Lin Yu strode toward Tiange.
At the same time,
he put a hand on his waistband, as though he were about to pull his pants down in one swift motion.
Tiange sharply sucked in a breath and waved both hands frantically.
“Don’t, don’t, don’t! I was wrong! Okay, I was wrong…”
“I give up, all right? I’m scared of you.”
She truly had no way of dealing with this man.
When it came to shameless antics and playing dirty, he seemed even more skilled than she was!
“Want to have something to eat together?”
“I’ve got lots of snacks too. What do you want? Something to drink?”
Tiange took the initiative to move closer to Lin Yu.
She didn’t avoid the subtle physical contact between them.
Even though no one was around to watch them now, and she didn’t have to worry about her friends seeing—
being alone with Lin Yu like this before anything substantial had happened between them…
For someone as outgoing as Tiange, it was quite rare.
“This is your home. I’ll go along with whatever you say—including me.”
Lin Yu looked into Tiange’s eyes as he spoke in earnest.
Tiange blinked, smiling.
“You sure know how to talk.”
“You’ve earned yourself a…”
As she spoke,
she rose onto her tiptoes and gave Lin Yu a quick peck on the cheek.
Lin Yu touched his cheek, then placed his hand over his heart.
That small gesture made Tiange burst into laughter again.
…
More than ten minutes later.
In front of the computer in Tiange’s bedroom,
Lin Yu held up a spoonful of ice jelly, using it to shield his eyes.
Why did they have to watch this to get in the mood?
Of all things, she had chosen to watch the video of him singing at the cosplay convention.
Watching it openly right in front of him felt like an invisible form of torture.
And he couldn’t even run away.
If this wouldn’t do, couldn’t they at least watch an adult movie?
Wouldn’t that be more effective at setting the mood?
“Tiange, can’t we switch to another video?”
“It’s already been three times. I’m going to have a traumatic reaction!”
“Please, I’m begging you.”
“You know what I’m like—I never beg anyone!”
Lin Yu pleaded.
But now that Tiange had caught her chance, how could she possibly let him off so easily?
Tiange sat down on Lin Yu’s lap and said,
“Only three times? How could that possibly be enough?”
“Didn’t you just say that everything today would be arranged by me?”
“It’s only been a few minutes, and you already want to go back on your word?”
Lin Yu: “…”
Fine, fine, fine.
So that was what she’d been waiting for?
Seeing Lin Yu put on a pained expression, Tiange offered him a little consolation along with the teasing.
“For the past two nights, I’ve been watching it over and over all by myself.”
“Now that you’re finally here, of course I’m going to make you watch it with me.”
“Look at how many views it has. At least a few hundred of them came from me.”
Lin Yu shifted his leg, making Tiange sit properly.
Then—
He tilted his head and looked into her eyes.
“Is that really true?”
Xiang Tiange answered without the slightest hesitation:
“Of course it is! Whoever lies is a puppy!”
As for what she had just said—
she wasn’t worried about being asked anything.
Because ever since the comic convention had ended, she really had been watching clips of Lin Yu’s performance over and over again.
And not just one video.
She had watched plenty of them from every angle and every camera position.
She had opened practically every video about Lin Yu on Bilibili.
Lin Yu continued pressing her:
“Oh…”
“Then tell me—when you stayed up late watching my videos…”
“What exactly were you thinking about?”

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.

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.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
