I Told You, I'm a Genius!

This woman had a fiery figure and strikingly gorgeous features.

Her big wavy perm made her look mature, with a few traces of lazy wildness. She truly was a rare beauty.

Unfortunately, Lin Yuan had no interest in women right now.

Women would only slow down his pursuit of lying flat.

"Cheers and adoration?" Lin Yuan curled his lip, looking utterly uninterested. "Can that stuff be eaten? Can it let me sleep ten more minutes? If not, don't bother me."

Gu Ningxue was amused by his answer. She stepped two paces closer, and a fragrant breeze washed over him.

"You really don't have an ounce of romance in you."

Her beautiful eyes shifted as she looked Lin Yuan up and down with great interest. "But I have to admit, today... you were really handsome."

"Oh."

Lin Yuan's reaction was as flat as if he were listening to the Weather Forecast.

Handsome?

He had always been handsome. Did he need someone else to remind him?

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'm leaving. I'm going home to catch up on sleep." Lin Yuan waved a hand and turned to leave without the slightest reluctance.

Watching his carefree departing back, the smile on Gu Ningxue's face grew deeper.

"What an interesting man..."

Lin Family Manor.

The moment Lin Yuan entered, he sensed that something was off.

In the living room.

His Iron Lady sister, Lin Mengyao, and his genius Formation Master sister, Lin Ke'er, were seated on opposite sides of the sofa, their two pairs of beautiful eyes fixed squarely on him.

"Oh, you're both here?"

Lin Yuan yawned and prepared to head straight upstairs.

"Stop right there!"

Lin Mengyao's cool and aloof voice rang out.

She wore a crisp white suit today.

Her long hair was pinned up, exposing her fair, slender neck. From head to toe, she radiated the Aura of an "Overbearing CEO."

"Brother! Brother!"

Lin Ke'er, meanwhile, was like a Little Rabbit.

She hopped down from the sofa too, ran up to Lin Yuan, and tilted up her exquisite and cute little face, her eyes brimming with anticipation. "How did the competition go? Did you beat that awful Ye Xuan until he was bitten to the ground?"

Lin Mengyao also cast him a scrutinizing look.

She lightly tapped the table, a teasing smile at the corner of her lips. "Let me guess. Did our Young Master get tired after one match and run off somewhere to slack off and sleep?"

In their eyes, although Lin Yuan was not weak, with his lazy nature, there was no way he could have lasted until the end.

Looking at their expressions that plainly said, "We know all about you," Lin Yuan lazily dropped onto the sofa and found the most comfortable position.

"Oh, the competition?"

"Finished it."

"Got first place."

He spoke the most astonishing words in the calmest tone.

The air instantly froze.

Lin Ke'er blinked her watery Big Eyes, her little mind struggling to process it.

Lin Mengyao froze for a full three seconds. Then her delicate brows shot up, and she said irritably, "Lin Yuan! Did you sleep yourself stupid? Are you telling me fairy tales? You? First place? I might believe you if you said you got last place!"

"Exactly! You must be bragging!"

Lin Ke'er chimed in as well, though her Big Eyes could not hide the faint hope within them.

"Believe it or not."

Lin Yuan closed his eyes, looking too lazy to explain any further.

"Why don't you check the school's official website yourselves? What's the big deal?"

Seeing how confident he was, the doubt in Lin Mengyao's heart wavered.

This brat...

Could he be telling the truth?

Half believing and half doubting, she took out her communicator.

Her jade fingers tapped lightly as she quickly connected to the official website of the Dragon Summer Country Capital Martial Arts Academy.

The website's front-page headline was written in enormous Bold and Red letters, bearing a title enough to make the hearts of any Lin Family member stop--

[Unprecedented! Astonished Everyone! Lin Family Qilin Son Lin Yuan claims the championship of this All-School Competition through Absolute Domination!!!]

Below it was a high-definition photograph.

In the photo, Lin Yuan stood in the center of the arena with an indifferent expression.

Beneath his feet was the Child of Destiny, suppressed by A Thought, kneeling on the ground, vomiting blood, and looking utterly miserable--

Ye Xuan!

"Holy... shit..."

Lin Mengyao, who had always cared about her bearing and could be called the model Iron Lady of high society, parted her red lips slightly. The instant she saw the photo and headline, a national curse slipped out.

Her peerlessly beautiful face was full of shock, horror, and utter disbelief!

It was real!

It was actually real!

Her brother, lazy to the bone, had really taken first place?!

And in such a...

Unfathomably crushing manner?!

"Sister, sister! How did it go?"

Lin Ke'er was so anxious she kept jumping in place.

Lin Mengyao mechanically turned her head and rotated the communicator screen toward her.

When Lin Ke'er saw that photo, her little mouth instantly formed an "O," followed by an earth-shattering cheer!

"Waaah! Brother! Brother, you're so handsome! You're amazing! I knew my brother was Number One Under Heaven!"

The little girl's face was flushed red with excitement. She transformed straight into a koala and pounced on Lin Yuan, bouncing and jumping all over him.

Lin Mengyao finally came back to her senses from the immense shock.

She looked at her brother on the sofa, tangled up by his sister and wearing an expression that said Life is Meaningless. Her gaze became incredibly complicated.

There was pride, there was relief...

But even more than that, there was the absurd feeling that her family's pig had learned to root up cabbages.

"You little brat!"

She walked over and fiercely poked Lin Yuan's forehead with a finger, but her tone was filled with joy she could not conceal.

"Not bad! So you were hiding something like this! You really hid your light under a bushel! Tell me, did you secretly go somewhere behind our backs and take a master as your teacher?"

"I told you I'm a genius, but you wouldn't believe me." Lin Yuan looked as though it were only natural. "It's just first place in a school. Isn't that easy as long as you have hands? What's there to make such a fuss about?"

"Oh, give it a rest!"

"Give you a little sunlight and you bloom like a flower! Still... you did pretty well today. You deserve a reward! Come on, your sister will cook personally and make you a Grand Feast to celebrate!"

Lin Mengyao was angered into laughter by his smug appearance.

"Wow! Sister is cooking herself!"

Lin Ke'er cheered joyfully.

Under the warm lights, the family headed toward the dining room in harmony, their laughter and chatter unending.

Meanwhile.

Northern Border, Demon Burial Abyss.

The wind and snow still raged, while malevolence soared to the heavens.

The old butler, Uncle Zhong, appeared respectfully on the communicator's screen through Encrypted Communication.

He reported Lin Yuan's championship, as well as the sisters' shocked and ecstatic reactions after he returned home, to Lin Zhan in full detail, adding plenty of embellishment along the way.

After hearing the report.

A rare smile slowly, slowly bloomed across Lin Zhan's resolute face, as unyielding as a Ten Thousand Year Ice Mountain.

Though it vanished in an instant, it seemed to melt some of the Extreme Cold around him.

"Hahaha... good! Excellent!"

He could not help laughing loudly, his bold laughter shaking the entire Ice Mountain until it hummed.

"That brat finally did his old man proud for once!"

"I used to think he was useless trash who only knew how to chase after little girls. Looks like I misjudged him!"

"My, Lin Zhan's, Grandson—even lying down, he still has to be Number One Under Heaven!"
