Chapter 23: 23:00

“I submit.”

“I totally submit.”

Lin Yi intoned expressionlessly.

“Good, that’s what a good, obedient pet does.”

Li Huayu released Lin Yi’s face, half-knelt and stood up, put on her shoes, and with her back to Lin Yi, seemed to be patting the wrinkles out of her school uniform.

The next second, Lin Yi’s eyes sharpened.

“I don’t submit!”

Dragon Impact!

“Ow!”

Li Huayu stumbled, falling flat on her face onto the coffee table with a thud.

Clang!

The perfectly intact coffee table shattered cleanly.

The top layer of glass completely turned into shards, scattering broken glass all over the floor.

“I don’t submit!”

Lin Yi followed up with a slap, his waist driving his arm, which drove his forearm, and finally his palm swung out, using all his strength, not treating Li Huayu as a delicate high school student at all.

What seventeen-year-old high school girl is two point one meters tall, can climb from the first floor to the thirteenth floor, enter your home at night, and then tie you up from your bedroom?!

Smack!!

An extremely heavy sound, as if a cannonball had struck flesh.

If you’re someone who frequently watches firearm and ammunition firing tests, you’d be quite familiar with ballistic gel. A bullet with just the right power hitting ballistic gel will make the gel churn.

Just like Li Huayu now.

This unreserved slap, carrying nearly twice the strength of an adult man in this world, carrying Lin Yi’s suppressed anger from the past few days, carrying the gnashing dissatisfaction, carrying the discomfort of being treated like a dog and then bitten by a dog—it all vented out.

“I told you, if you dare to come close, I dare to ram you. Don’t underestimate me too much.”

Lin Yi shook his hand.

Force works both ways; intense pain also shot from his palm, but he still stubbornly held his ground.

As for Li Huayu, struck by the blow, ripples spread across her body. Her hands propped on the coffee table, she turned her head, her waterfall-like smooth hair falling over her face, not a single strand moving or even shifting, revealing only a pair of cold, gleaming eyes.

She seemed like a chaste female ghost with a particular fetish, radiating a chilling aura.

“Lin Yi, you’ve got guts.”

She propped herself up, looking down at Lin Yi from above.

Under the ambient light, Li Huayu’s fair skin turned exceptionally pale. Her hair was disheveled, covering her face, making her expression unreadable and enhancing the chilling sense of threat.

Especially her school uniform, which was completely out of place with the surrounding scene.

In the dark and dim environment, cold winds rose everywhere.

A school uniform-clad female ghost, over two meters tall with disheveled hair, appears. Who knows how long she’s been dead, or how unjustly she died. She just stares at you, lying on your bed, with chilling eyes.

“So?”

Lin Yi raised his head, stood up on the sofa, and met Li Huayu’s gaze without showing any weakness.

Li Huayu squinted at the closed bedroom door, seemingly worried that Zhuang Yayun might wake up, and said coldly, “Heh heh, I’ll let you off for now. Next time…”

She turned to leave.

“You let me off, but I can let you off? There’s no such cheap thing. If you don’t compensate me, I won’t just let you off.”

Lin Yi fiercely grabbed Li Huayu’s wrist. How could he just let this big girl go?

Since things had come this far, there was no way he would abandon the quest.

This big girl being able to climb from the first floor to the thirteenth floor once again changed his mind.

To survive well in this absurd world, he absolutely could not give up on these system rewards and quests.

This girl, I’m hitting her where it counts!

“Then what do you want?”

Li Huayu stiffened, not turning around, her voice even becoming a little softer.

[Quest: Little Foal Rams Big Chariot completed]

[Quest Reward: Perfect Platinum Star (Can stop time for ten seconds; during this period, you can move freely)]

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, then continued to glare at Li Huayu with ill intent.

“It’s simple. Bark like a dog. I want to record it.”

“…Okay.”

Li Huayu actually agreed to Lin Yi’s request, and without waiting for Lin Yi’s reaction, she took out a video recorder from her pocket, grabbed Lin Yi’s wrist with her backhand, and pulled him into her embrace.

Lin Yi once again sank into the soft slime.

Li Huayu held the video recorder facing herself and Lin Yi, her tender lips slightly parted.

“Woof woof woof woof~~”

A clear “woof woof” sound, different from the more realistic dog barks from before, sounded somewhat sweet, just like a girlfriend obediently barking like a dog under her boyfriend’s coercion.

“Here.”

Li Huayu released Lin Yi, shoved the video recorder into his hand, and without looking back, quickly prepared to leave the room.

Lin Yi looked at her retreating figure, his eyes flashing.

[Perfect Platinum Star, Activate!]

Instantly, it was as if a black and white world flashed before his eyes.

Lin Yi clearly perceived that everything around him had quieted down, even the sound of his own heartbeat.

Lin Yi pressed his hand to his heart; he truly felt no heartbeat, and his breathing had also paused, yet his body could still move freely.

He quickly moved behind Li Huayu. Although he was annoyed with this tall girl, that recent slap made him clearly understand that even his full strength wouldn’t cause her any significant harm.

She hadn’t even breathed heavily; she simply took that slap.

Lin Yi raised his head, looking at her incredibly full and alluring physique.

Normally, with a figure like hers, there would be some extra flesh on the tummy.

But on Li Huayu, it was completely absent; her stomach was even flat without a trace of flab, which was truly unscientific.

She was truly an eight-foot chariot.

This couldn’t be described merely as a “gun mount.”

She was the gun itself.

The ten seconds ended.

Li Huayu didn’t notice anything, nor did she sense Lin Yi suddenly appearing behind her. She opened the room door, walked straight out, went to her own apartment door, opened it with her fingerprint, and slipped inside.

Lin Yi closed the door, letting out a heavy breath.

Under the ambient light, he clearly saw that his palm was already crimson, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably.

‘Absurd.’

‘Just how high must this big chariot’s attribute points be?’

‘That last hit didn’t even break her defense?’

‘Incomprehensible.’

Fortunately, Li Huayu chose to leave, otherwise, he wouldn’t have known how to deal with her.

Lin Yi quickly returned to the living room, tidied up the mess, and then quietly went back to the bedroom.

He found Zhuang Yayun still peacefully asleep on the bed, her posture exactly the same as when he had left.

‘She’s sleeping so soundly.’

‘Your husband was almost taken from the bed by another woman.’

‘She was nearly going to give you a live demonstration of “wife-present-rape” right on the bed.’

Lin Yi lay back down.

The Platinum Star skill rewarded by the quest was tied to his stamina; each use consumed a quarter of his stamina.

He could use it a maximum of three times a day.

Half a minute of paused time, that was quite good.

Inside Li Huayu’s home.

The beautiful girl was trembling, leaning against the door, her hands constantly rubbing against the door panel, her teeth tightly biting her lip.

“Something strange has been opened…”

“It hurts so much…”

“But, it feels so powerful.”

And below Li Huayu’s bedroom window.

A rope, inexplicably, had appeared, hooked onto her balcony.

A silver-haired girl in yoga clothes was swinging back and forth, holding onto the rope.

“Damn it!”

“Which woman is this again??”

“I was asleep and she woke me up just to listen to a live broadcast; she’s absolutely shameless!!”

“I must see your true face!”

Luo Tianyou gritted her teeth, her strong grip on the rope almost deforming the sturdy nylon rope.

Although she had never attempted such a climb, she found it surprisingly easy.

She just needed another minute to get used to it, and she could climb onto that balcony.

However, amidst the biting cold wind, Luo Tianyou clearly saw the rope hooked to the balcony gradually loosening…

‘Not good!!’
