“Still awake? Come in.”
In truth, Little Yu didn’t feel like it had been long at all—if anything, it felt too soon. Right now, she was even considering backing out.
Earlier, caught in a rush of impulsiveness, Little Yu had put on the intimate attire recommended by the shopkeeper.
Now, just standing outside Su Luo’s door, her heart was already racing, her thoughts dwindling to almost nothing.
Hearing Su Luo’s voice, Little Yu entered his room in a daze, her movements stiff and mechanical.
Su Luo noticed her unusual behavior. “What’s wrong?”
“N-Nothing.”
“You can’t fool me. Your face is practically burning up.”
“It’s not that bad.”
Seeing Su Luo, Little Yu’s mind snapped back—only to veer into the opposite extreme, flooded with chaotic thoughts that left her even more speechless.
Finally, mustering her courage, she asked, “Um, Su Luo… do you think I’m pretty?”
“Of course you are. You should have more confidence in that, Little Yu.”
Encouraged, Little Yu gripped the edges of her collar, hesitating to reveal what lay beneath.
Su Luo, baffled by her actions, poured her a cup of tea. “Whatever it is, you can tell me. Relax—it’s not like I’d do anything to you.”
He even joked to ease her tension.
“Sorry…”
Despite his words, Little Yu couldn’t overcome her nerves. Overwhelmed by shyness, she buried herself under the blankets on Su Luo’s bed, hiding from his sight.
I need to cool down… I can’t face him like this.
This is too embarrassing. I shouldn’t have worn this outfit so soon.
But as she lay there, something felt… off.
She lifted the blanket.
And found Jiang Ningshu and Yun beneath it.
Neither of them had expected things to unfold this way.
At first, Little Yu was confused—Why are they here? But then, realizing what she was wearing underneath, she panicked.
If they see it… I’ll die of shame!
Without a second thought, she bolted from the room, determined to change before anyone noticed.
Her speed left Su Luo stunned. He had been ready to explain, but now…
Meanwhile, the exposed Jiang Ningshu and Yun sat up, equally perplexed. Shouldn’t we be the ones running away?
“So… what’s going on?” Su Luo rubbed his temples, unable to process why Little Yu had fled.
“It’s fine. We’ll explain things to her,” Yun said.
“The real question is, why did you two make this so complicated?”
Su Luo shot them a glance. What was the point of hiding in the first place?
“Hahaha…” Yun laughed awkwardly.
Jiang Ningshu, however, remained unbothered. She suspected Little Yu’s departure had nothing to do with them. And judging by Little Yu’s earlier behavior… something else was clearly going on.
Also…
What was she even doing in Su Luo’s room so late? Jiang Ningshu couldn’t help but wonder.
“Alright, I noticed Little Yu was acting strange earlier. Let’s all rest for now and figure this out tomorrow.”
Su Luo felt Little Yu genuinely needed time to calm down. While she was usually shy, tonight had been excessive.
The thought saddened him. After all this time, why does she still get so flustered around me?
Shouldn’t closeness bring ease, not hesitation? She should be able to tell me anything.
After sending Jiang Ningshu and Yun away, Su Luo considered checking on Little Yu.
I said we’d wait till morning… but maybe just a quick peek? She really didn’t seem okay earlier.
Just as he was about to leave, Little Yu returned.
Now in different clothes, she looked noticeably more at ease.
But she was puzzled. “Where are Yun and the others?”
“Oh, I told them to go back.”
“What were they doing earlier?”
Su Luo winced. How am I supposed to explain this convincingly?
They should’ve been the ones to clarify.
“Well…”
After a lengthy, unfiltered retelling of events, he finished lamely, “Do you… believe me?”
He wasn’t even sure he believed it.
But Little Yu answered without hesitation. “Of course. Why wouldn’t I? Have you ever lied to me before?”
“Don’t assume that. There might be times I’ve twisted the truth for my own benefit—omitting key details is still a form of deception.”
Su Luo couldn’t guarantee he’d never misled her, and he wanted her to understand that.
“If it’s for your sake, then it’s okay if you lie to me.” Little Yu mimicked Su Luo’s usual head pats, gently smoothing his hair. “To me, your well-being is mine.”
Su Luo was speechless. He tapped her head lightly. “Sometimes, you say things that hit hard.”
If anyone else had said it, he wouldn’t have trusted their words.
But this was Little Yu.
And that was why it moved him.
“What do you mean, ‘hit hard’?”
“Words that pierce straight through my heart.”
“Su Luo, you’re exaggerating.” Little Yu beamed.
Then Su Luo remembered something. “By the way… what was up with you earlier?”
“N-Nothing…”
“Now you’re the one lying.”
“I’m not! It’s just… just…” She fumbled, unable to articulate it.
Su Luo wouldn’t push her. “Alright, alright. Just teasing. You don’t have to say.”
“It’s not that! I just… can’t say it yet.”
“I know. You’ll tell me when the time’s right.”
“Mm. I promise I will.”
---
The next day, Yun tried to explain things to Little Yu.
“No need. Su Luo already told me everything.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah. I understand now.”
Good. Yun was relieved Little Yu hadn’t overthought it.
“Speaking of which… why did you run off yesterday?”
“Ah… it’s nothing, really.” Little Yu dodged the question.
This only fueled Yun’s curiosity. She pressed further, but no matter how she probed, Little Yu refused to answer.
Eventually, Yun gave up. She couldn’t force it out of her.
The four of them continued their journey home.
Along the way, they encountered plenty of bizarre incidents—but overcame them all smoothly.
Though Yun and Jiang Ningshu didn’t get along, they maintained civility, avoiding outright clashes.
Of the group, Little Yu was the happiest.
Experiencing all these adventures with Su Luo was pure joy.
Finally, after much travel and trials…
They arrived at the Heavenly Demon Sect.
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.
