After the Villain in Me Gave Up, the Female Leads All Panicked! - Chapter 5:

Chapter 5: The Simp Awakened? No, He Evolved Into a T-Rex!

Lin Yuan actually told Li Xuan’er… to get lost???

The voice wasn’t loud, but in the quiet training room, it rang crystal clear in everyone’s ears.

The room fell instantly silent.

Every student widened their eyes, doubting what they had just heard.

The sweet smile on Li Xuan’er’s face froze in an instant. She stared at Lin Yuan in disbelief.

That word again!

He had actually told her to get lost—right in front of the whole class?

“Lin Yuan! You—”

Her cheeks flushed bright red, a mix of shame and rage.

Only then did Lin Yuan lazily sit upright.

His gaze swept across the room of gossiping classmates and finally landed back on Li Xuan’er. His voice rose a few notches.

“Everyone, let me tell you a joke.”

“Yesterday, this so-called campus belle Li came to my house out of nowhere and asked for three top-grade Yellow-tier Qi Gathering Pills.”

“And now, after I told her off yesterday, she still has the face to show up at school and ask for an Ice Soul Orchid?”

“Li Xuan’er, is your face made of brick walls? Or do you think I, Lin Yuan, am some kind of idiot you can summon at will?”

“You treat me like your personal ATM, using my resources to support your little boy toy Ye Xuan. You really think I don’t know?”

Boom!

Lin Yuan’s words exploded through the classroom like thunder.

Everyone was stunned by the revelation!

That happened yesterday?

And Lin Yuan actually… knew everything?!

Li Xuan’er was struck like lightning. Her face turned deathly pale.

She hadn’t expected Lin Yuan to expose everything in public, and so bluntly, without any regard for her pride.

“I… I didn’t!” she blurted instinctively, trying to defend herself.

“Shut up!”

Lin Yuan yelled coldly, and in the next second, a terrifying pressure burst from within him!

The aura of peak 9th stage Bone Refining Realm.

Mixed with the thunderous will of the Nine Heavens Thunder Emperor Scripture, it transformed into a tangible force that slammed toward Li Xuan’er!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

It felt like an invisible mountain had crashed into her chest.

Her blood surged, and she was shaken back seven or eight steps before falling hard to the ground with a thud.

She stared at Lin Yuan in horror, filled with disbelief and fear.

Such… terrifying pressure!

It was ten times stronger than what she felt at the villa yesterday!

The entire class was speechless, eyes wide with shock.

“My god… that aura… what is Lin Yuan trying to do?”

“He actually dared to yell at Li Xuan’er?”

“The simp… awakened? No, he’s evolved into a T-Rex!”

The room burst into whispered chatter again.

But this time, no one dared to laugh at Lin Yuan anymore. Their gazes were filled with awe and fear.

Under countless stunned stares, Li Xuan’er felt utterly humiliated.

She scrambled to her feet, shot Lin Yuan a venomous glare, then ran out of the training room in tears.

Lin Yuan, as if nothing had happened, leaned back against the wall, yawned, and closed his eyes.

Back to sleep.

…

The incident of Lin Yuan publicly humiliating Li Xuan’er and revealing his terrifying power at peak 9th stage Bone Refining Realm spread like wildfire through the entire Capital Martial Arts Academy within half a day.

The once submissive “Number One Simp” had transformed overnight into a cold-faced god of wrath. The drastic contrast became a hot topic of conversation.

On forums, private groups, and chat threads, the discussion blew up.

“Breaking news! Young Master Lin has awakened! The green tea campus belle was socially annihilated on the spot!”

“I was there! That aura was insane! Li Xuan’er got blasted to the floor and ran off crying!”

“So Lin Yuan wasn’t weak before—he just focused on the wrong things!”

“Even a pig could rise with the Lin Family’s resources!”

“Exactly. He simped for years and gained nothing. Now he finally woke up. Instead of giving Li Xuan’er those pills, he used them on himself—of course he powered up! I think he just awakened from being a simp. It’s nothing special.”

This sentiment quickly became mainstream.

After all, could a man’s nature really change so easily?

To most, Lin Yuan was still that spoiled rich kid who had nothing besides his background.

Lin Yuan couldn’t care less about the gossip.

His former lackeys soon noticed a terrifying shift in the Young Master’s routine.

He either slept in class, sunbathed on the garden lawn, or laid around dazed on a library sofa.

In short, one word—lie.

And yet, that faint but powerful aura around him grew stronger with each passing day—terrifyingly so.

…

During break time, beneath a century-old tree in the academy’s rear garden.

Lin Yuan lay on the soft grass with his arms behind his head, chewing on a blade of grass, eyes closed, enjoying the system’s auto-cultivation.

Just as he was drifting into sleep, a clear and teasing female voice sounded overhead.

“Yo, isn’t this our academy’s most talked-about Young Master Lin? Your life sure is refined these days!”

Lin Yuan lazily opened one eye and looked up.

What entered his view was a pair of long, straight legs wrapped in tight denim, outlining a striking figure.

Looking upward, he saw a tall, curvaceous beauty.

She had wavy chestnut hair, bright features, and an aura of confidence and sharpness.

Completely different from Li Xuan’er’s pure white lotus look—this was a bold, aggressive beauty.

Gu Ningxue.

The name surfaced in Lin Yuan’s mind.

The eldest daughter of the Gu family. While not as powerful as the Lin family, the Gus were still a top-tier clan in the Celestial Dragon Nation.

In the original novel, she was also one of the female leads.

Currently at 6th stage Bone Refining Realm.

A true prodigy.

Due to their family backgrounds, she had crossed paths with the original Lin Yuan early on.

But as the original grew more like a villain and simp, they drifted apart.

Later, after Ye Xuan rose to prominence and helped the Gu family in several adventures, Gu Ningxue naturally joined his harem.

But for now, none of that had happened yet.

“Of course,” Lin Yuan replied lazily with his eyes closed. “With weather this nice, how could I not take a nap?”

Gu Ningxue sat down beside him with interest, her perfume wafting subtly in the air.

Resting her chin on her hand, her eyes glinted mischievously. “What’s this? You’re not chasing after your precious Xuan’er goddess today? I heard you almost made her cry.”

Lin Yuan didn’t even twitch an eyelid. He just switched the blade of grass in his mouth.

“Goddess? Please. She’s not worthy of that title. More like goddess syndrome.”

His tone was calm, as if commenting on something completely unrelated to him.

“Oh? Not worthy?” Gu Ningxue’s beautiful eyes widened slightly in surprise.

Hearing those words from Lin Yuan—the same guy who once worshipped Li Xuan’er—was shocking.

“You didn’t used to talk like that,” she said, testing him. “Back then, if anyone said a bad word about Li Xuan’er, you’d fight them.”

“People change,” Lin Yuan replied flatly. “You act like a simp long enough, and eventually you get tired. Especially when you’re chasing after a block of ice that your warmth will never melt. Keep going, and it’s not loyalty—it’s stupidity.”

With that, he said nothing more, as if he’d fallen asleep again.

Gu Ningxue stared at him, stunned.

She gazed at his profile in silence.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows across his face.

He was clearly talking about something sad, yet his tone was calm—eerily calm—like he was telling someone else’s story.

This kind of detached rationality and quiet indifference was a complete reversal of the impulsive, obsessive simp she once knew.

She fell into deep thought.

For some reason, this version of Lin Yuan—lying carelessly on the grass—seemed far more interesting than the one who used to chase people around like a dog.
