I had just finished listening to Tang Yimian's apology.
Now it was Aunt Qimeng's turn to apologize.
"Little Yu, I'm sorry. Were you on a call earlier? Did Little Mian call you?"
"I told her I'd talk to you myself and ask about your schedule, but she didn’t want to trouble me and insisted on contacting you directly."
"The pipes in her room are broken, and I’m too far away to go back and fix them for her."
"You know how flustered she gets, so I gave her your number."
"I should’ve asked you first—I wasn’t sure if you were busy. I…"
Before Chen Qimeng could finish, Lin Yu cut in:
"Aunt Qimeng, that’s my home too."
"Teacher Tang is a tenant. If there’s a problem, it’s my responsibility to fix it, right?"
"Why would you need to apologize for something like this?"
[Ding!]
[Masterful move! Your declaration of treating the sect as home warms the acting sect leader’s heart!]
[Reward: 20 spirit stones.]
At a bustling bus stop,
Chen Qimeng held her phone in one hand while carefully gripping a woven bag containing a boxed vase.
Dangling from the same hand was a shopping bag from a sportswear brand—new shoes she had just bought for Little Yu.
Hearing his words,
Chen Qimeng felt surprise, but even more so, joy.
Ever since Lin Yu had joined the household,
Chen Qimeng had taken care of everything, never letting him lift a finger for any dirty or tiring work.
In her mind, even the smallest chore would feel like failing him.
But these past few days,
Chen Qimeng had noticed Little Yu "maturing" a lot.
This sudden growth left her a little unsettled.
Maybe she really should stop holding him back from contributing to the family?
"Y-yes, you’re right. Then… I’ll leave it to you, Little Yu."
"I was just worried you might be busy with your novel and didn’t want to disturb you."
"There are spare parts in the storage room. If you can’t find them, don’t worry—"
"I can help Little Mian replace them when I get back…"
Again, before she could finish,
Lin Yu’s teasing voice came through:
"Busy? I’m bringing you food right now, you overworked shop manager!"
"Changing a pipe? That’s nothing for me."
"Don’t forget to eat when you get back!"
Chen Qimeng nodded repeatedly:
"Okay, got it. Thank you, Little Yu."
After hanging up,
Chen Qimeng stared at her phone screen and exhaled deeply, her tension easing slightly.
Lately, for some reason,
every conversation with Little Yu left her inexplicably nervous.
Muttering to herself, she wondered:
"Is this a delayed rebellious phase?"
"He sounds a bit gruff these days… but in a reassuring way."
"Oh no!"
"I forgot to ask if he’s eaten!"
Realizing this,
she awkwardly brought both hands—still clutching the bags—to her stomach and struggled to type a message.
……
Fortunately, the shop wasn’t far from home.
A taxi got Lin Yu back quickly.
This only strengthened his resolve to buy a car—not for show, but for convenience.
Rushing into the first-floor lobby,
he spotted Chi Qingchi at the staircase, barefoot and holding her wet slippers, as if waiting for him.
Seeing Lin Yu approach,
Chi Qingchi dramatically announced:
"Little Lin, let me tell you, our apartment might be a celestial abode."
"Guess what? I just discovered a ‘Water Curtain Cave’ on the second floor!"
Lin Yu: "……"
He had been in a hurry,
but the sight of Chi Qingchi holding up her dripping slippers to avoid wetting the stairs was so absurd it made him laugh.
Reaching out, he ruffled her hair:
"If you can’t do accents, stick to standard Mandarin!"
"What’s with the old Beiping wasp impression?"
"‘How sting? How sting?’"
"Let me unblock your meridians!"
Before Chi Qingchi could react,
Lin Yu had already dashed up to the second floor.
From below, her voice echoed:
"Little Lin! Just wait till my sister gets better—I’ll have her teach you a lesson! Two solid kicks!"
……
Arriving at Tang Yimian’s room on the second floor,
the door was wide open, the sound of dripping water still audible.
Lin Yu peeked inside.
The floor was wet but not flooded.
Water still trickled down the glass above the bathroom door—proof that before the main valve was shut, it must’ve been a true "Water Curtain Cave."
By the bed,
a dazed girl sat motionless.
Her long hair, still damp, was loosely tied back.
She wore hastily thrown-on casual clothes—
a puff-sleeved, light green crop top half-tucked into blue jeans, the other half hanging loose.
Clearly,
she’d dressed in a hurry,
probably thinking it improper to greet a male visitor in sleepwear.
"Senior, I’m back. Which pipe in the bath—"
Lin Yu stepped inside as he spoke,
but stopped mid-sentence.
Normally,
she’d respond right away, wouldn’t she?
Why was there no reaction?
Tilting his head, Lin Yu moved closer, puzzled.
Tang Yimian was only two years older—practically his peer.
A Pingchuan University graduate and his senior,
they hadn’t interacted much in his past life.
Otherwise, why wouldn’t he have her number saved?
Tang Yimian’s beauty was the elegant, delicate kind.
Sharp contours, pronounced collarbones,
and long lashes that were especially visible with her eyes closed.
Paired with steady, rhythmic breathing…
She’d fallen asleep sitting up!
Lin Yu: "……"
Just how exhausted was Teacher Tang?
Was traveling that draining?
Sleeping upright?
Leaning in, he raised his voice:
"The principal’s here~"
Sometimes,
you really shouldn’t crack jokes you think are funny…
The moment the words left his mouth,
Tang Yimian jerked upright—
her head smacking straight into Lin Yu’s chin.
Thud!
The sheer force of her reflexive movement sent Lin Yu stumbling back, clutching his mouth.
"Hiss…"
"Hiss…"
Two sharp intakes of breath echoed in the room.
Lin Yu: "!!!"
This defied all logic!
His enhanced physique could fend off grown men barehanded.
Sure, they were close,
but how was her reflex that fast?
Was a principal’s classroom inspection that terrifying?
Elementary teachers these days must be under insane pressure!
"Elegant and delicate," his ass.
That skull was solid as a rock!
His tongue tingled, the metallic taste of fresh blood filling his mouth…
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
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.
