Lin Yu slapped himself, afraid that he might lose control and pounce on the dazed little girl, knocking her to the ground and rubbing his face against her cheek.

To ensure he wouldn't lose points in the impression, Lin Yu was putting in all his effort to win over this incredibly cute little girl as soon as possible, so he could enjoy heavenly treatment at will!

"Hey little sister, what's your name? Why are you all dirty?"

Lin Yu let the little girl sit on a bench by the river, then bent down and asked her with concern, adopting the demeanor of a kind and approachable older brother.

"My name is Tina, Tina Sprant. Where's your big brother?"

The little girl's face was slightly flushed, whether it was because Lin Yu had been rubbing her for too long or for some other reason, her already incredibly cute face became even more alluring. Her pajamas were still slipping down, and with one of her shoulders exposed, Lin Yu almost couldn't resist howling and pounced on her. When he was watching the anime, Lin Yu was completely charmed by this girl, let alone seeing her in person now!

"Tina? What a lovely name. Tina, just call me Onii-chan. Names don't really matter anyway."

Lin Yu, looking completely absorbed, reached out and ruffled Tina's hair again. It wasn't that Lin Yu lacked willpower; it was just that the enemy's power was too strong, capable of charming a lolicon to death in a matter of minutes.

"Onii-chan?"

Tina seemed to repeat it subconsciously, and Lin Yu quickly covered his nose. He decided that he must cook a pot of mung bean soup tonight to cool down, otherwise he would bleed to death sooner or later.

"Ahem, Tina, where did you come from?"

Lin Yu had lost count of how many times he had swallowed hard. He felt extremely agitated and thought it best to go back as soon as possible; he didn't want to ruin his image as a gentleman.

"I remember waking up in my apartment today, then brushing my teeth, taking a shower, changing my clothes, and going out feeling refreshed."

Tina placed her index finger against her cheek, looking thoughtful. Her words were exactly the same as in the original story, but when she acted cute in person, her charm was on a completely different level. If Lin Yu hadn't built up his immunity in those few minutes, he probably would have pounced on her by now.

"Lying is not good, Tina. You must have just woken up, otherwise why would you be wearing pajamas and slippers?"

Lin Yu was determined to uphold his image as the big brother, but he probably didn't realize that if it were a little girl, she would have already sounded the alarm. Only Tina, this little scatterbrain, was so oblivious. (Japanese children usually carry alarms and will sound them when they sense danger, well, usually to deter perverts.)

However, despite her current confused appearance, it seems that there are very few people in the entire Tokyo area who could subdue her.

"Oh~ Unnie knows me better than I know myself!"

During the day, Tina always speaks softly, giving people the impression that she is easy to bully. In just a few minutes, she managed to exhaust Lin Yu's strength.

"Never mind, I'll take you home, you little scatterbrain."

Okay, Lin Yu no longer intends to call her by the name Tina; "Little Confused" is more appropriate.

"No need~ I can go back by myself."

Tina rejected Lin Yu's suggestion in a soft voice, but because her voice was so soft, it was impossible to tell that she was rejecting him.

Is it really possible?

If it were a strange little girl like Tina, Lin Yu would definitely send her home to feel at ease. However, knowing Tina's mission, he knew very well that she would not let him send her home. Besides, Tina's skills were more than enough to protect herself.

"Hmm~ No problem."

Tina nodded in agreement, while Lin Yu pretended to think for a moment before taking out a small piece of paper with a phone number on it and handing it to Tina.

"This is Onii-chan's phone number. Call me if anything comes up."

Speaking of Lin Yu, he bought a phone specifically for Tina, and even prepared notes. It can be said that he went to great lengths to win over this little girl!

Tina took out her phone from her pocket and immediately called Lin Yu.

"I didn't expect you to be so clever in these areas. Don't worry, the number I gave you is real!"

Lin Yu answered the phone. The two of them were less than a meter apart, yet they were talking on their cell phones. It was quite a luxury, really.

"What a wonderful day! I hope we can meet again."

Tina looked at Lin Yu with expectant eyes, which made him sigh inwardly. In a peaceful, ordinary world, how could a lovely girl like Tina show such expectant eyes just because of someone's insignificant kindness?

"Don't worry, Tina can call her brother anytime she wants to see him, and he'll be there whenever she calls!"

He bent down once more and gently rubbed Tina's head. This girl's true nature was just as gentle and soft as she was now, but she was forced by circumstances to complete the murder mission hidden in the night.

"Don't be so absent-minded when you go out in the future. At least dress properly, okay? Be careful, or some weirdo might grab you and make you do all sorts of things."

Lin Yu straightened Tina's slipped nightgown, and when his fingers touched her snow-white shoulders, he had to resist the immense temptation to finally complete this arduous task.

"Hmm~! Goodbye, Onii-chan."

Tina called out "Onii-chan" again in her soft voice, and Lin Yu felt his bones almost melt. Having traveled through so many worlds, this was truly the first time he had encountered such a soft and cute loli as Tina. Although Shana was also cute, it was absolutely impossible for her to call him "Onii-chan".

After waving goodbye to Little Confused, Lin Yu smacked his lips, feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

I deleted the chapter I wrote last night because I wasn't satisfied with it. I finished this chapter after I got off work today.

153. Provocation, mutual dislike

"Uncle, I'm sorry to trouble you today."

Inside the elevator, before Lin Yu stood the Holy Emperor, as always, dressed in a white off-the-shoulder gown, revealing her fair shoulders. If she had worn such an outfit ten years ago, Lin Yu probably wouldn't have been able to resist. While the Holy Emperor was stunningly beautiful now, she lacked one crucial element for Lin Yu—

"Tsk tsk, it's a pity that the loli's shelf life has passed."

Lin Yu sighed inwardly, unsure whether he was feeling regret or something else.

"Uncle, what did you say?"

The Holy Emperor looked at her 'uncle,' who looked to be about the same age as her, with some confusion. She had called him that ten years ago, and she still did so ten years later. In short, she had no intention of changing how she addressed him.

"I'm asking you, Saint-chan, are you ready to deal with that guy?"

Lin Yu gave the Holy Emperor a gentle smile. Although the cute little girl had grown into a young woman, she was still his niece. He would not let anyone who dared to bully his niece get away with it.

"President Qi Wu? Uncle, what's your opinion of him?"

It's unclear what burdens the Holy Emperor has carried over these past ten years, but her temperament has become even more aloof than it was ten years ago. At least ten years ago, you could occasionally see a cute smile on her face, but now she always maintains a blank expression, which looks rather heartbreaking.

"view?"

Lin Yu was slightly taken aback. In the original work, the Holy Emperor also asked Satomi Rentaro the same question, but he was different from Satomi Rentaro. He immediately waved his hand.

"What can I possibly think of him? He's just a somewhat ambitious tyrant."

That's right, this is Lin Yu's truest thought. A person's wildness must be supported by sufficient strength, otherwise he is just a clown. Although Qi Wu Xuanzong has considerable power in this world, does it pose any threat to Lin Yu?

Don't be ridiculous. Lin Yu is no longer a weakling who can be threatened by sheer numbers. Only those of his own caliber can attract his attention. A mere ordinary person with power is not something that can make him nervous.

The Holy Emperor was also surprised by Lin Yu's words. He was slightly taken aback but then understood. After all, with Lin Yu's strength, he could completely ignore the armed forces of an entire region. Would someone who could kill even Zodiac Gastrea be afraid of a human army? His Ice Tsunami attack alone was enough to annihilate any region, not to mention that there was also Shana, whose strength was comparable to his or even possibly stronger!

"Don't worry, hopefully that bearded guy will learn his lesson, otherwise Uncle will teach him a lesson for you!"

Lin Yu waved his clenched fist in front of the Holy Emperor, as if showing off his power.

"A big beard? Pfft!"

The Holy Emperor, who had maintained a blank expression, was stunned for a long time before he reacted and burst out laughing. "A beauty that could topple kingdoms and cities!"

"so beautiful."

The undisguised praise made the Holy Emperor's heart skip a beat. She hadn't expected to receive such direct praise from Lin Yu simply for smiling.

"Saint-chan, it's such a shame you don't smile more often. You were such a cute little girl when you were little, how did you grow up to be expressionless? Come on, give Uncle a smile."

Lin Yu grinned mischievously and reached out to grab the Holy Emperor's fair cheeks, pulling them apart into a comical expression. The two men in black suits standing behind them looked incredibly conflicted, wondering whether they should stop him or pretend they didn't see anything.

After a fierce internal struggle, the two men in black suits exchanged a glance and reached a consensus, staring straight at each other. If this scene were captured on camera, it would probably send chills down one's spine: two grown men gazing deeply into each other's eyes—what else could this be but gay?!

"Huh? Uncle, Uncle!"

Somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, she slapped away Lin Yu's hand and glared at him. Her coquettish appearance made Lin Yu seem to see the little girl from ten years ago, who was no different from an ordinary person, glaring at him. The ethereal feeling that the Holy Emperor originally had was gone forever.

"Isn't this pretty? Saint-chan doesn't need to wear this mask anymore. Let Uncle... oops, let my brother take care of everything for you!"

In a moment of overconfidence, Lin Yu blurted out a form of address that he had tried everything to correct but failed, making the Holy Emperor laugh even more.

"You little brat, how dare you laugh at your own brother like that! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

Lin Yu was about to pounce on the Holy Emperor with his arms outstretched, but at that moment the elevator stopped with a beep. The moment the door opened, the two of them simultaneously returned to their serious expressions.

Two men in black suits fled the elevator first, leaving Saint Emperor and Lin Yu to walk out with a serious expression. However, their slightly shrugged shoulders betrayed their true feelings. Saint Emperor's initial nervousness vanished instantly.

As soon as they exited the elevator, a burly middle-aged man with a thick beard was sitting on a luxurious sofa, waiting for them. This was none other than Qi Wu Xuanzong, whom Lin Yu had called "old man"!

Well, although this top leader of the Osaka region looks very imposing, to Lin Yu he is just a passerby and one of the obstacles to the implementation of the plan. Calling him Big Beard is not wrong at all.

"Nice to meet you, Your Majesty the Holy Emperor."

In terms of etiquette, Emperor Qi Wu Xuanzong did quite well. Upon seeing the Holy Emperor arrive, he immediately stood up as a sign of respect. If it were someone who didn't know better, they might find it hard to believe that this guy had already secretly arranged for someone to kill the Holy Emperor.

"This must be Lin Yu, who killed Taurus ten years ago? I didn't expect that he really is exactly the same as the rumors said, unchanged from ten years ago!"

Qi Wu Xuanzong's words sounded like mere sighs, but there was an underlying sense of unease. Clearly, he still harbored doubts about whether Lin Yu was the hero who had slain Taurus ten years ago.

"Whether I've changed or not has nothing to do with you, you big bearded man. We don't know each other well, so don't talk to me."

Lin Yu rolled his eyes dismissively, showing that he didn't take Qi Wu Xuanzong seriously. He had no reason to give this bearded man a friendly look. Even if it was for his own plans, he would have to fight him sooner or later. In addition, Lin Yu had absolute martial prowess, so he didn't even need to put on any pretense.

"Watch your words. Putting aside whether you were a hero ten years ago, you're just a lowly police officer!"

Qi Wu Xuanzong frowned slightly, but he wouldn't get angry at this level of provocation. However, Lin Yu's fearless attitude really made him feel uncomfortable.

but!

Does his dissatisfaction have anything to do with Lin Yu?

154. The Shy Holy Emperor

"I am indeed just a lowly police officer."

Faced with Qi Wu Xuanzong's provocation, Lin Yu revealed a bright smile.

"But I possess the power to destroy Stage V. Do you have that power?"

If we were to pinpoint Lin Yu's greatest trump card at this stage, it would undoubtedly be his almost unbeatable strength. No matter how much power Qi Wu Xuanzong wields, he must consider the potential consequences of opposing Lin Yu. Putting everything else aside, if Lin Yu were truly determined to kill him at all costs, Qi Wu Xuanzong would have no other recourse but to stay far away.

The power that Lin Yu and Shana possess far exceeds this world's understanding of power. They don't even know if Lin Yu can be killed, or what methods are available to kill him. These are all unknowns, so no one dares to act rashly before they figure these things out.

"Hahaha, of course I don't have that kind of strength, but Lin Yu, there are many things in this world that cannot be done with strength alone. I hope you won't be blinded by power."

Qi Wu Xuanzong was, after all, a powerful figure who had stabilized a regional regime in just a few years. Even though he was at a significant disadvantage in terms of strength, he possessed power and could accomplish many things that Lin Yu could never do. Moreover, Lin Yu had other uses for keeping him around, so he was too lazy to continue pushing him.

"Well, you don't need to worry about my affairs, you big bearded man. You should mind your own business."

After Lin Yu finished speaking, he stood behind the Holy Emperor, acting as if she were the leader. The Holy Emperor, who was originally uneasy, felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders with Lin Yu's support.

With Lin Yu, a humanoid Stage V, present, the domineering Qi Wu Xuanzong from the original work became much more restrained, at least he did not question the responsibility for the destruction of the 'Heavenly Ladder'.

No way, even if he were stupid, he wouldn't mention a single word about it. Although Lin Yu's identity was questionable to him, Shana had indeed crushed a Stage V monster in a live satellite broadcast. He had every reason to believe that if Shana's final blow had been aimed at any human region instead of Scorpio, it could have easily destroyed most of the city. Qi Wu Xuanzong would be crazy to drag in Shana, whose stance was unclear.
