Chapter 597
"Brother, you're really lucky. I won't disturb your rendezvous with the beauty any longer."
"Okay, see you later."
After watching Svarog leave again, Lin Yu immediately looked at a woman who was running towards him in the distance.
What was bound to happen has finally happened...
What should I do?
PS: 4K.
I wrote 2K words last night and fell asleep, but I can finish it quickly after I get up.
However, a small accident occurred.
I fell asleep on the keyboard, and then my mom woke me up.
My mom said I was in a really bad state lately, so she unplugged my computer and told me to take a day off.
I typed this chapter on my phone without her knowing.
Motherly love is great, but it is also very heavy. I guess my beloved mother will have to take me to the hospital for a check-up, and I might even have to be hospitalized for treatment.
I hope to finish writing the Penacony storyline and successfully complete the Trailblaze Chapter before I'm hospitalized.
Trailblaze Chapter 48. Sleeping Together in a Big Bed!
From the moment Lin Yu rescued Tingyun and sent her to Yukong after the battle, he knew this was a possibility.
The hero saves the damsel in distress trope may be cliché, but the reason clichés are cliché is precisely because people love to watch them, which is why they are becoming more and more common.
Women like Tingyun, who thought they might die, woke up to find themselves perfectly fine.
Then Yukong told her some things, and combined with the memories that remained in her mind, Lin Yu was not surprised at all that Tingyun would do such a thing.
As for the 'three great illusions of life'...
[Three major illusions in life? Having thought of this saying, a hint of disdain might arise in your mind.]
Only the weak are prone to delusion; the strong, once they have such a premonition, have the ability to turn that premonition into reality!
Ah, at times like these, you really are never absent.
[Nonsense, this system only has so much fun left. If you want to take away even the last bit of joy from this system, then this system—]
What do you want?
[I'll just call you a cookie, what else can you do?]
Haha... Sometimes I think you have such a good temper.
[It depends on the person. After all, you are a relatively normal person, so this system will naturally treat you with a relatively normal attitude.]
[If I encounter a bastard host, this system really can't be bothered to waste words with them; they don't deserve to listen.]
[Rather than all that—what do you plan to do now?]
What should I do...?
Seeing Tingyun jog up to him, Lin Yu finally understood what it meant to have seductive eyes.
He had many wives, but most of them were young women, and it was really difficult to expect them to know what 'charm' meant.
Of course, my slightly older wife doesn't know much about this either.
Expecting Su Shang and Hua to understand what seductive glances mean... that's asking too much of them.
Compared to the other wives, Tingyun has a natural advantage in this regard due to her race, and her personal temperament certainly adds to her appeal. It has to be said...
Looking at the woman before you, you couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Your daughter went to play in other parts of Luofu Xianzhou after the war; she didn't appear before you, completely dispelling the last trace of worry in your heart.
Hello!
What's wrong? Did this system make a mistake?
... You bastard.
[Furthermore, regardless of your actual thoughts, this system believes you should have realized by now—your daughter supports your continued womanizing.]
[With such a sensible daughter helping you pull away all the other people in your way—if you don't step in, are you even a qualified father?!]
Xiao Yi...
Thinking back to his eldest daughter, Lin Yu felt a very complicated feeling in his heart.
Even someone as powerful Phantylia didn't give Lin Yu much of a headache.
But now, reminded by the system, Lin Yu, forced to face the truth, discovers that he feels that one of them, along with his eldest daughter, is absolutely twisted inside.
Come on, isn't it true that you get the kind of daughter you have?
You believe your Cocoon of Finality is out of consideration for others, but in their eyes, your selfless act is actually a sign of disregard for their feelings.
Unfortunately, ten years ago, your daughter etched that day into her soul. Even if she herself didn't realize it, her subsequent behavior clearly showed traces of imitating your actions on September 23rd.
She thought helping her dad pick up girls was out of consideration for his feelings, but actually, what your daughter is doing is so unusual that it makes you feel uneasy—don't think your daughter is strange, look at how her father taught her through his actions.
So, it's all my fault?
[Nonsense.]
Now you understand how much emotional trauma your actions caused her ten years ago, right?
Ah, the conversation started off about picking up girls, why did it suddenly become so heavy?
[See, you don't like this system talking about vulgar topics, so this system will have to accommodate you and talk about deeper issues with you.]
Now that your wish has been granted, you're complaining that this system talks too much. Ha, men these days.
Faced with the system's teasing words, Lin Yu really felt...
Well, although he had never underestimated this seemingly comical but actually terrifyingly powerful "Bad Friend System" in the past, he only truly realized today that this guy actually knew more than he had imagined.
It makes sense. A prize vault contains all sorts of powerful items, including some with single-universe-level power. Moreover, it has observed the lives of many hosts and is full of powerful individuals with long lifespans. It should have a broader perspective than him.
[I already told you this system was forged in the name of divine favor, now you believe it completely.]
Instead of worrying about these things, you should think about what you should actually do now.
Looking at Lin Yu, who hadn't spoken yet, Tingyun took a deep breath and then spoke to him.
"Thank Benefactor. I have no way to repay you for this."
"There's no need for that."
Seeing that Tingyun was clearly about to say something, Lin Yu responded.
"It's just a small favor, nothing serious."
"Yes, it was indeed a small favor for our Benefactor, but..."
Just as Tingyun was about to utter the most important words in her heart, Lin Yu interrupted her.
"Miss Tingyun."
"Um?"
"Some things are better thought out before you speak up."
"... It seems that my Benefactor already knows my feelings."
Having his thoughts exposed, Tingyun was honestly not surprised at all by this.
Lin Yu is a ruthless person who can even scheme against Phantylia, and Phantylia, the Destruction Lord, is more inclined to be a behind-the-scenes mastermind than other Destruction Lord who take direct action.
It's perfectly normal for such a strong person to see through her little schemes.
However, even so, Tingyun never once considered backing down.
For her, a good man is right in front of her, and even if he doesn't show much enthusiasm, she will still try her best to hold on to him.
In Tingyun's eyes, marriage is like a business opportunity; encountering it is already a rare thing. If, after encountering it, one realizes that the opportunity has arrived but fails to seize it, one may very well regret it for the rest of one's life.
"Yes, I could tell at a glance."
Despite Tingyun's intense gaze, Lin Yu maintained a calm demeanor as he stared back at Tingyun.
Having used the "Cold-Faced Hunk" trait so much, he can now maintain a calm state of mind and facial expression most of the time, even without using the Cold-Faced Hunk + Mirror Mind.
"I have indeed saved quite a few people in the past, and some of them, because of the Bridge Effect, have developed similar feelings towards me as you have."
Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Tingyun's expression changed slightly, and a feeling of joy welled up inside her.
But...
"However, your situation is different from theirs, Miss Tingyun."
In the next instant, Lin Yu calmly poured cold water on Tingyun.
"We all live on the same planet, fighting and living together."
"In this situation, we have enough time to nurture the relationship and allow the feelings generated by the Bridge Effect to transform into genuine love."
"However, Miss Tingyun, you are different. You have your own relatives and friends on the Luofu Xianzhou, while I am just an unknown guest now."
"If Miss Tingyun makes a certain decision, even with today's advanced transportation technology, it will still take a lot of effort for you to travel back and forth..."
"Is there a problem?"
Having already made his decision, Tingyun took a step forward and approached Lin Yu's body.
"My Benefactor, you have underestimated my determination."
"I am aware of what Benefactor have said, but... I am prepared."
Even if it means parting with family and friends?
Seeing Tingyun's determined gaze, Lin Yu shook his head with a wry smile.
Am I really that charming?
"Of course."
"You already know I have a daughter, but what if I said I have a bunch of wives—"
"—Wouldn't that be better?"
Hearing Lin Yu reveal his family situation, Tingyun's fox ears twitched slightly, revealing a look of delight.
The fact that Lin Yu has a daughter has always been a worry that Tingyun.
After all, having a daughter means having a family, and pursuing a married man is essentially the same as becoming a mistress.
Although she had made up her mind, Tingyun knew very well that in most families, children would not have any goodwill towards those who destroyed their family.
But now, the problem is solved.
For Tingyun, the biggest problem has been completely solved.
Lin Yu has a bunch of wives, which means Lin Yi has been forced to accept the fact that her father will have more wives.
So, there are already so many people—what problem would it be if there were one more Tingyun?
As for getting jealous before even joining the game, Tingyun would definitely not do that.
Compared to the worst-case scenario she had anticipated—that Lin Yi would hinder her and that Lin Yu only had one wife and had no intention of getting involved with other women—the situation was now significantly better.
Lin Yu is not the kind of stubborn person who is fixated on one person in matters of the heart.
This may be a bad thing, but it is also a good thing.
Moreover, Tingyun realized that Lin Yu's words from the beginning to the present were not a rejection of Tingyun, but rather a suggestion that Tingyun think clearly about whether she was truly prepared before making a decision.
Although the fact that Lin Yu was building a harem slightly lowered his score in Tingyun's eyes, Tingyun still had no intention of stopping.
After all, his scores in other areas are too high. Even if he has an extra weakness, an elite businessman like Tingyun would definitely be more inclined to turn this weakness into a breakthrough point than to wallow in self-pity.
Seeing that Tingyun was visibly happier, Lin Yu felt that the girls around him were acting a little strange in this respect.
He had read online novels before.
The women in the story constantly compete and are jealous of the male protagonist—which is actually quite normal.
