Warm water sprayed continuously from the showerhead.
In the steam-filled bathroom, a graceful figure washed herself with a foamy bath sponge.
After a quick rinse.
She slipped under the covers. Once she’d calmed down, she was just about to fall asleep.
Then she heard the system notification.
“Ding-dong. Main quest: Add Chu Feng on WeChat, then ask him how he’s doing. After the bonus, you’ll receive 10,000 humiliation points.
“You have three hours to complete this quest. The host has only two hours remaining. If you fail, the main quest will be interrupted, and the rewards for all subsequent quests will be reduced to 10%.”
…
Su Yun rolled over on the bed, lying on her stomach with her chest pressed against the mattress, her two soft, pale legs swaying back and forth.
She held her phone in both hands, thinking about what she should message him…
What should she say?
She tapped Chu Feng’s WeChat profile and drafted a few messages. Several times, she almost sent one, but deleted it at the last moment.
Whatever. I’ll send this one.
【Su Xiaoyun'er】: It’s Su Yun, the girl you walked home earlier. Did you get home safely?
After Su Yun hit send, she let out a deep breath.
Finally, it’s sent. That should count as completing the quest.
…
Jinghong Villas, Jiangcheng.
Chu Feng had just finished showering and was looking over the information his assistant had sent him.
As he went through it, he kept glancing at his phone.
He was waiting for a message from a stunningly beautiful girl.
“That doesn’t make sense.”
“She added me on WeChat. Shouldn’t she be the one to start chatting with me…?”
Just as Chu Feng was about to make the first move, his phone chimed with a new message.
“Beep—”
“There it is. I knew she was into me.”
【Su Xiaoyun'er】: It’s Su Yun, the girl you walked home earlier. Did you get home safely?
…
【Chu Han Feng Liu】: I’m home. So your name is Su Yun. That’s a lovely name.
Su Yun thought, Hmph. In my last life, you made fun of my name plenty of times.
【Chu Han Feng Liu】: How about this, Xiao Yun'er? Let me take you out to dinner tomorrow. Things were a little rushed today, so I didn’t get the chance to properly get to know you.
Chu Feng’s thinking was simple: since she’d taken the initiative to add him on WeChat and chat, he had to take things a step further too. He couldn’t leave it all to the girl.
【Su Xiaoyun'er】: Maybe we shouldn’t.
Su Yun instinctively turned down the invitation and sent the message. She didn’t want anything more to do with Chu Feng.
“Ding-dong. The host has triggered a follow-up main quest. Quest: Take the initiative and invite Chu Feng to dinner, thanking him for kindly helping you, and then go on the date.”
“Complete it to receive 50,000 humiliation points. If you fail, the main quest will be interrupted…”
Su Yun, whose legs had been swinging on the bed, stopped them instantly.
Invite him herself!
That was way too embarrassing.
Even though she felt horribly embarrassed, her body was more honest than her words. She started typing a message.
【Su Xiaoyun'er】: You helped me, so how could I let you pay for dinner? I should be the one treating you.
…
Those two messages sent Chu Feng’s mood soaring from rock bottom to cloud nine!
That first message—“Maybe we shouldn’t”—had nearly broken his heart.
The thought that such a perfect girl had turned down his invitation, and that he might never see her again, left him utterly miserable.
But the next message—“You helped me, so how could I let you pay for dinner? I should be the one treating you”—made Chu Feng jump to his feet.
“Amazing!”
【Chu Han Feng Liu】: Dinner with a beautiful girl? I’d be delighted. When works for you?
Chu Feng hurriedly sent a message. He had to lock down the time right away. A promise was no good if it was all talk.
【Su Xiaoyun'er】: You can pick the time and place. I’m fine with anything.
【Chu Han Feng Liu】: Then how about seven tomorrow evening at Chuyun Restaurant on West Street in Jiangcheng?
【Su Xiaoyun'er】: Sounds good.
【Chu Han Feng Liu】: Great. Tomorrow at seven, then. I’ll be waiting for you.
【Chu Han Feng Liu】: Good night, Xiao Yun'er. I’ve still got work to do, so I won’t keep you.
…
【Su Xiaoyun'er】: Good night.
Out of politeness, Su Yun sent back a good-night message too.
After sending it, Su Yun covered her face and rolled around on the bed.
Inviting that jerk Chu Feng out was so embarrassing…
And she’d been the one to ask him.
…
Meanwhile.
Chu Feng made a phone call.
“Hello, is this the manager of Chuyun Restaurant on West Street? This is Chu Feng.”
“Mr. Chu! What can I do for you?” the manager replied.
“Tomorrow, close the restaurant to the public, but make sure your staff are there. I’ll be coming in person to inspect the dishes, so I want you to prepare well,” Chu Feng said.
“Oh, and remember to get some flowers and decorate the place. I’ll be bringing a date. You understand what I mean?”
“I understand, Mr. Chu.”
…
After a brief struggle, Su Yun finally fell into a deep sleep.
That night, she had a dream.
Su Yun dreamed she was in the Salvation Space, with tens of thousands of people bowing to her and addressing her as the Divine Maiden.
She stood tall and proud, regal and elegant, like a celestial maiden descended from the heavens.
A dream like that should’ve been wonderful.
But what happened next left her speechless with embarrassment.
After several of the tens of thousands of people had finished reporting the day’s news one by one, they all left through the Space Gate.
After that…
A man suddenly appeared behind the throne in the divine palace.
He walked straight up to her, caressed her body from behind, and even kissed her cheek…
What shocked Su Yun even more was that her dream-self didn’t resist.
She even responded!
The version of herself who’d looked like an ethereal immortal now seemed like a woman longing for affection, with a hint of desire in her eyes.
When the man’s wandering hand reached her chest, a tingling sensation swept over her like a wave.
Only then did Su Yun turn around and see the man’s face.
Who else could it be but Chu Feng?
“Ah—!”
Su Yun jolted awake.
It was already light outside.
“Thank goodness it was only a dream…”
“That was so embarrassing. How could I dream about something like that?”
Su Yun savored the feeling from her dream…
Actually, it hadn’t felt bad.
The only thing she couldn’t stand was that the guy had been Chu Feng!
It made her so mad.
“Ding-dong. Please accept today’s quest.”
…
“It has been detected that today’s quest aligns closely with the main quest to invite Chu Feng out.”
“Therefore, today’s quest will be combined with the main quest.”
“Tonight at seven, wear a short skirt and black stockings, showing off your absolute territory, and have dinner with Chu Feng.”
