I've already told you, I'm a genius!

This woman had a hot figure and a bright, beautiful face.

Her long, wavy hair made her look mature yet carried a hint of lazy wildness; she was truly top-tier.

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

Women would only slow down his pace of lying flat.

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

Gu Ningxue was amused by his answer. She took two steps forward, and a pleasant fragrance wafted toward him.

"You really have no sense of romance at all."

Her beautiful eyes flickered as she sized Lin Yuan up with interest. "However, I have to admit, today... you were really handsome."

"Oh."

Lin Yuan's reaction was as flat as if he were listening to a 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 to go home and catch up on some sleep." Lin Yuan waved his hand and turned to leave without the slightest hesitation.

Watching his carefree back as he left, the smile on Gu Ningxue's face grew even wider.

"What an interesting man..."

...Lin Family Manor.

As soon as Lin Yuan entered, he felt that the atmosphere was off.

In the living room.

His elder sister, the business powerhouse Lin Mengyao, and his younger sister, the Genius Formation Master Lin Ke'er, were sitting on the left and right sides of the sofa, their two pairs of beautiful eyes staring straight at him.

"Yo, you're both here?"

Lin Yuan let out a yawn and prepared to head straight upstairs.

"Stop right there!"

Lin Mengyao's cold voice rang out.

Today, she was wearing a sharp white suit.

Her long hair was tied up, revealing her snowy-white, slender neck. Her entire being radiated the aura of a "domineering CEO."

"Big Brother! Big Brother!"

Lin Ke'er, on the other hand, was like a little rabbit.

She hopped down from the sofa and ran to Lin Yuan, looking up with her exquisite and cute little face, her eyes full of anticipation. "How was the competition? Did you beat that annoying Ye Xuan to a pulp?"

Lin Mengyao also cast a scrutinizing gaze over.

She lightly tapped the tabletop, a teasing smile playing at the corners of her mouth. "Let me guess, did our young master here find it too tiring after just one match and run off somewhere to slack off and sleep?"

In their impression, although Lin Yuan wasn't weak, his lazy nature made it impossible for him to stick it out until the end.

Seeing their "we know everything" expressions, Lin Yuan lazily flopped onto the sofa, finding the most comfortable position.

"Oh, the competition."

"It's over."

"I took first place."

In the flatest tone possible, he spoke the most shocking words.

The air instantly froze.

Lin Ke'er blinked her large, watery eyes, her little brain unable to process it.

Lin Mengyao was stunned for a full three seconds before her willow-like brows shot up. She said crossly, "Lin Yuan! Are you sleep-deprived? Are you talking in your sleep? You? Taking first place? I'd sooner believe you took dead last!"

"Exactly! You're definitely bragging!"

Lin Ke'er echoed her sister, but her large eyes still couldn't hide a flicker of hope.

"Believe it or not."

Lin Yuan closed his eyes, looking like he couldn't be bothered to explain further.

"Just check the school's official website yourselves. It's no big deal."

Seeing his confident and unperturbed manner, the doubt in Lin Mengyao's heart wavered.

This kid... could it be true?

Half-doubting, she took out her Communicator.

With a light tap of her slender finger, she quickly connected to the official website of the Dragon Summer Country Capital Martial Arts Academy.

The headline on the front page, written in a massive, bold red font, was a title enough to make any member of the Lin family's heart stop—

[Unprecedented! A Performance That Stunned Everyone! The Lin Family's Qilin Son, Lin Yuan, Claims the Championship of This Year's School-Wide Competition with Absolute Dominance!!!]

Below it was a high-definition photo.

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

And at his feet, suppressed by a single thought, kneeling on the ground, spitting blood, and in a wretched state, was the son of destiny—

Ye Xuan!

"Holy... crap..."

Lin Mengyao, who always paid attention to her poise and was a model of a high-society business powerhouse, saw the photo and the headline. Her red lips parted slightly, and a curse word slipped out.

Her stunningly beautiful face was filled with shock, horror, and a deep sense of disbelief!

It was real!

It was actually true!

Her brother, who was lazy to the bone, actually took first place?!

And in such an... inconceivable, crushing manner?!

"Sister, Sister! How is it?"

Lin Ke'er was hopping with impatience.

Lin Mengyao turned her head mechanically and turned the Communicator's screen toward her.

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

"Waaaaah! Big Brother! Big Brother, you're so handsome! You're so amazing! I knew my brother was number one in the world!"

The little girl was so excited her face turned red. She turned into a koala, pouncing onto Lin Yuan and jumping up and down.

Lin Mengyao finally snapped out of her immense shock.

She looked at her brother on the sofa, who was being pestered by their sister and looked like he had lost all will to live. Her gaze became incredibly complex.

There was pride and relief... but more so, a sense of absurdity, like "the family pig has finally learned how to dig up cabbages."

"You brat!"

She stepped forward and poked Lin Yuan's forehead hard with her finger, but her tone was filled with unmistakable joy.

"Not bad! You were actually hiding such a trick! A real hidden talent! Tell me, did you sneak off somewhere behind our backs to find a master and learn some skills?"

"I told you I'm a Genius, but you didn't believe me." Lin Yuan spoke as if it were only natural. "A mere school championship—isn't that as easy as breathing? What's there to be so surprised about?"

"Give me a break!"

"Give you an inch and you take a mile! But... you did well today, you deserve a reward! Come on, I'll cook personally and make you a big feast to celebrate!"

Lin Mengyao was amused to the point of laughter by his cocky attitude.

"Wow! Sister is going to cook personally!"

Lin Ke'er cheered and skipped with joy.

Under the warm lights, the family walked toward the dining room in harmony, filled with laughter... Meanwhile.

Northern Frontier, Demon Burial Abyss.

The wind and snow continued, and the Evil Qi surged to the heavens.

The figure of the old butler, Uncle Zhong, appeared respectfully on the Communicator screen via an encrypted channel.

He reported Lin Yuan's victory and the shocked yet ecstatic reactions of the two sisters after he returned home to Lin Zhan, recounting everything in detail with a bit of embellishment.

After hearing the report.

On Lin Zhan's face, which was as resolute as a ten-thousand-year-old iceberg, a rare smile slowly, very slowly, bloomed.

Although it was fleeting, it seemed to melt the surrounding bitter cold.

"Hahaha... Good! Excellent!"

He couldn't help but laugh out loud, his laughter bold and heroic, making the entire iceberg vibrate.

"This brat finally brought some honor to my name!"

"I used to think he was just a trash who only knew how to chase after girls. Now it seems I misjudged him!"

"The grandson of me, Lin Zhan, even if he's just lying down, he must be number one in the world!"
