"Phew..."
Rosa Linda let out a breath.
She skillfully tied up her long hair into a ponytail, then casually grabbed a towel to wipe away the sweat.
Glancing at the mirror, her face was still very red.
After washing her face with a basin of cold water for a while, she finally faded some of the color.
Passing by the room, she deliberately peeked inside to see Lin Feng hadn't fallen asleep yet. She whispered, "I'm going downstairs now. I've prepared the hot water for you, it'll get cold soon so don't forget to wash up."
"Okay." Lin Feng nodded. Her nagging didn't annoy him one bit. "Let me hold you for a bit."
Rosa Linda stood on her tiptoes and peered downstairs. Then with a look of disgust, she said to Lin Feng, "We just hugged a moment ago, and you want to again..."
Although she said that, she still obediently went into Lin Feng's embrace.
"Remember to pass on what I told you earlier to those two." Lin Feng raised his brows at her.
"Talking about serious stuff when we were having an intimate moment, I really don't understand you anymore."
After whispering sweet nothings for a good while, Rosa Linda finally went downstairs.
She tiptoed into the backyard and peeked through the door gap.
Seeing that the two beastkin girls were minding their own business, she instantly felt much more at ease.
If only she had known, she would've played a little longer.
These days, whenever Emily had time she would practice her spells in the backyard...
Yuna would usually accompany her, saying that proper meditation could make her senses more acute.
Although this was a good thing, Rosa Linda still felt a little apprehensive,
afraid that her secret would be discovered.
"How's the practice going?" She squatted next to Emily and asked softly.
"I can do it very smoothly now. Even without holding my bow I can..."
Emily's forehead was flicked. Rosa Linda gestured for her to lower her voice.
"Even without my bow, I can use it now." She opened her palm, whispered a few words, and green mana particles gathered in her hand, forming the shape of an arrow.
With a flick of her wrist, the arrow disappeared without a trace.
She had indeed become much more proficient.
Ever since returning from the labyrinth last time, she was like a chicken blood, practicing whenever she had time.
"Not bad at all."
"And I discovered a little trick!"
"What trick?" Rosa Linda looked at her curiously.
Emily gathered another arrow and nocked it on her crystal bow. The surrounding airflow started swirling.
As the arrow was released, the beginner wind shot spell erupted with a tremendous force that could crush and tear anything apart.
The wooden target was blasted into smithereens.
"How did you do that?"
"I tried continuously compressing my mana until I lost control, then fired it. This is the result." Emily asked Rosa Linda in return, "Didn't you try it before, Mom?"
Upon hearing this, Rosa Linda's eyebrows furrowed slightly. "Recklessly compressing mana is very dangerous. A tiny mistake could lead to great calamity."
Although she said that, she still borrowed Emily's longbow to try it out.
With a loud boom, the backyard fence was blown up from its roots.
The power she unleashed was much greater than Emily's.
"You're way stronger than me." Emily sighed lightly.
"You're still a beginner. Being able to grasp it to this level is already very impressive." Rosa Linda patted Emily's forehead. "You can go get a reward from your man now."
"Really?" Emily stood up excitedly, looking as if she was about to run upstairs.
She couldn't wait to get Lin Feng's praise.
"Don't go up first. Stay and chat with me here."
"Huh?" Emily was very confused.
"He... he's still resting. Wait a little longer. It won't be too late to talk to him at night."
"Oh I see! You're right. Catching him while he's sleeping is perfect. I can get an even better reward." Emily smiled smugly, thinking she had come up with a brilliant plan.
Just when Rosa Linda thought she had fooled her, Emily suddenly said, "Speaking of which, what have you two been doing together since this morning?"
What have we been doing?
What else could we be doing?
Rosa Linda's head was burning.
She thought her act was flawless, but she still got caught.
"My back has been aching recently, so I asked him to massage my shoulders for me." Rosa Linda looked at Emily with a straight face, sweating nervously on her forehead. "I'm old too. I didn't take care of my health when I was young, and now I'm left with all kinds of problems."
"So that explains the weird sounds..."
!!
Rosa Linda's hair was standing on ends.
How frightening.
She even eavesdropped.
Usually if someone was outside the door, she would definitely notice.
She must have not noticed in the morning because she was too absorbed.
"That's right, him massaging my shoulders really worked wonders." Rosa Linda nodded.
"Let me do it for you next time. I know a little too. Didn't I always massage you in the past?" Emily glanced at Yuna meditating nearby.
A fly was buzzing around her head.
Emily quickly went up and shooed the fly away.
With their gazes not meeting now, Rosa Linda unexpectedly felt a bit more relaxed. She continued, "You're still a girl after all. Boys have stronger grips."
"Nonsense. Despite his muscular body, he's actually a weakling. His strength probably isn't greater than mine."
The corners of Rosa Linda's mouth twitched a couple times. She was visibly flustered.
Why didn't she realize this girl was so hard to deal with back then?
"Then I'll continue to trouble you to pound my legs and back." She was about to bite through her molars.
Seeing the pesky fly kept pestering Yuna, Emily became annoyed. Her hands aggressively slapped, directly smashing the fly into pulp.
Although it was loud, Yuna was not affected at all by the noise.
"Oh right, we'll be going back into the labyrinth tomorrow." Rosa Linda hurriedly changed the topic. "He just told me when we were chatting."
Emily nodded, showing she had no objections.
"Being cooped up these days, I'm about to grow mold. It's time we move around." Emily stretched lazily. "It just so happens I can practice more in live combat."
"This labyrinth will be a bit difficult. Lin Feng won't be helping us. He wants us to enrich our live combat experience, and hone our teamwork."
"Most importantly..."
Rosa Linda poked Emily's waist twice, and whispered mysteriously in her ear, "We need to earn money!"
"Earn money?" Upon hearing these two words, Yuna instantly stopped meditating.
She didn't like owing others, but she couldn't deny that she currently owed Lin Feng a lot of money.
Although she could just freeload off a rich man, Yuna still chose to support herself.
"That's right. Eating his food and using his stuff every day, taking all the benefits without doing anything, it feels a bit shameless."
Emily thought.
She's just a vase day after day... Not even earning a single cent herself.
Yuna is way stronger than her.
...
At night, Emily curled up in Lin Feng's embrace.
In her sleep, she suddenly started sobbing...

uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
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.
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
