Watching Lin Yu pull the blanket over her, Xiang Tiange slowly sat up and hugged it to her chest.
Lin Yu’s warmth seemed to linger in the covers, vivid and unmistakable.
“Such an idiot… Why did I pretend to be asleep...?”
Xiang Tiange thumped herself on the head, muttering in frustration.
After giving in to a moment of impulsiveness—
and then taking a cold shower—
she had calmed down considerably as she sat on the bed.
So much so that she had no idea how to face Lin Yu when he came out.
He was Little Chi’s classmate and close friend.
And he even lived under the same roof as Little Chi.
Yet she had gone behind Little Chi’s back and secretly... with Lin Yu...
“Phew...”
Xiang Tiange let out a long breath, trying to soothe her uneasy nerves.
She still had no idea how she was supposed to get along with Little Chi and Lin Yu from now on.
Everything felt like a dream.
So unreal.
After spacing out for quite a while, Xiang Tiange suddenly remembered that Lin Yu had sent her several messages before leaving.
She immediately grabbed the phone from her bedside table and checked them.
“Lin Yu: I cleaned up the room. This was the most unforgettable night of my life.”
“Lin Yu: Sweet dreams. Hopefully, I’ll be in them.”
“Lin Yu: Next time, will you invite me over to your place? Or should I invite you out?”
“Lin Yu: You’re not going to wake up and deliberately start avoiding me, are you?”
“Lin Yu: Good night, good night~”
As she read Lin Yu’s messages, Xiang Tiange’s eyes reddened.
Lin Yu had not said anything particularly moving, yet she found herself deeply touched.
“Where is he now...?”
Xiang Tiange murmured to herself.
Ignoring the soreness in her body, she sprang out of bed and hurried to the window without even putting on her shoes. Pulling back the curtains, she looked down into the residential complex.
The small road by the entrance was the only way out of the complex.
Even if she could only catch one distant glimpse of him, Xiang Tiange would have been happy.
“Huh?”
She stared toward the pool of light beneath the streetlamp for quite a while, but Lin Yu was nowhere to be seen.
Strange.
Given Lin Yu’s walking pace, he should have reached that winding stretch of road by now, shouldn’t he?
Had he walked too quickly? Had she missed him?
That shouldn’t be possible.
After watching for another minute or two, Xiang Tiange was nearly ready to give up.
She picked up her phone, wondering whether she should reply to Lin Yu’s messages.
Then, in the next moment—
Lin Yu suddenly stepped into the light.
He jokingly waved up at her.
Xiang Tiange instinctively ducked her head, trying to avoid his gaze.
But then she thought—
Wait, that wasn’t right!
The lights in her living room were off. There was no way Lin Yu could see her.
Hmph!
Was he putting on an act again?
What Xiang Tiange did not know was that Lin Yu’s eyes were as sharp as a cat’s in the dark.
Let alone a figure hiding in the shadows—he could see clearly exactly what Xiang Tiange was wearing.
Just as he had expected, the girl had come to the window to secretly watch him.
Lin Yu did not linger for long.
He made his way slowly along the road, turning back from time to time to wave toward the window.
Making sure Xiang Tiange could see him.
Afterward, a girl’s emotions could be especially volatile.
She needed a man’s reassurance even more.
Lin Yu was not the kind of guy to just walk away after getting what he wanted.
He knew that well.
...
On the way back, Lin Yu did not call a cab. Instead, he strolled toward Pingchuan University’s athletic field.
By the time I reached the area near the sports field, it was fully daylight.
Sigh.
Going home to sleep at this hour might end up waking the people in the apartment.
Better to power through the night and enjoy twice the happiness.
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.”
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
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.
