After reading the mission briefing.
Su Yun was having second thoughts again.
Black thigh-highs! A short skirt! And that precious strip of exposed thigh, too—she was actually supposed to wear all that to meet Chu Feng.
She pounded her pillow. This time, no matter what, she wouldn’t give in.
This is so embarrassing…
“Ding! Upon completing this combined mission, you’ll receive 100,000 Humiliation Points and the item [Goddess’s High Heels].”
…
Su Yun quietly opened the shop and started trying on outfits for her date at seven tonight.
9 a.m.
The scheduled Salvation Society meeting was about to begin.
As soon as Su Yun entered the Salvation Space, her outfit changed into the Divine Maiden’s set, making her look sacred and noble.
At the same time, her Charm stat rose to 120. After all, she was the real Divine Maiden.
Soon, three glowing spheres appeared.
They were the three people summoned last night: Xu Zhengchu, Xing Yihao, and Chen Shasha.
This time, with the others’ help, she wouldn’t have to do all the talking herself.
Chen Shasha would welcome them and explain that the Cavern Civilization was about to launch an attack, then introduce Su Yun as the Divine Maiden.
Su Yun herself only had to make an appearance at the end.
After all, as the Divine Maiden, she needed to maintain a little distance and mystery.
“Speak your wish,” Su Yun said.
“I want power.”
“I want to live longer.”
“I want money.”
…
The wishes they made were nothing out of the ordinary.
Power and longevity were easy enough to grant. The moment she gave them what they wanted, they became her followers.
As for the one who wanted money, Xu Zhengchu paid him.
While she was at it, Su Yun asked Xu Zhengchu for some money in the name of the Salvation Society’s operating expenses.
After all, she’d said she would treat Chu Feng to dinner that night. It’d be awkward if she couldn’t pay the bill.
Xu Zhengchu was only too happy to oblige.
Seriously, how much would a single Longevity Pill that added thirty years to your life fetch in the real world?
The rich might well throw down ten billion—or even a hundred billion.
With a paltry fortune of only a few hundred million, he’d never have been able to get his hands on a treasure like that.
Now that he’d become one of the Divine Maiden’s followers, he’d received one with ease. What was a little money in return?
Besides, the Divine Maiden didn’t have many followers yet. This was his chance to prove himself and earn some credit.
Beep—
“One hundred million yuan has been deposited into your account, card number XXX.” (This is a fictional world and has no connection to reality.)
After Xu Zhengchu left, a notification soon appeared on Su Yun’s phone.
“Xu Zhengchu sure knows how to get things done.”
Xu Zhengchu’s total assets amounted to just over seven hundred million, but most of that was his company’s market value and the properties under his name.
Even Xu Zhengchu would probably have to sell off some fixed assets to scrape together a hundred million in cash.
…
After sending her three new followers home, Su Yun started thinking about tonight’s mission.
Black thigh-highs… A short skirt…
“Wait!”
An idea struck Su Yun. She seemed to have found a loophole in the mission.
“At seven tonight, the host must wear a short skirt and black thigh-highs, showing off her zettai ryouiki, and have dinner with Chu Feng.”
She read the mission over several times and confirmed that it really would work.
Su Yun reached through the Space Gate and summoned Chen Shasha, who’d already left, back into the Salvation Space.
“Divine Maiden, is something wrong?” Chen Shasha asked.
…
“You’re coming with me tonight!”
Su Yun’s reasoning was simple.
The mission said she had to wear black thigh-highs and a short skirt, show off her zettai ryouiki, and have dinner with Chu Feng.
But it didn’t say how many people had to be there!
If it was just her and Chu Feng, things would be unbearably awkward and embarrassing. But with Chen Shasha there, it’d be different.
With three people, Chu Feng wouldn’t be able to pull anything.
And if anything happened, that silly girl Chen Shasha could shield her.
“Damn, I’m a genius,” Su Yun said gleefully.
Chen Shasha had more or less figured out who Su Yun was in real life anyway, so there was no need to keep pretending. She just had to make sure Chen Shasha kept it a secret.
They added each other on WeChat, and Su Yun told her to come over at six that evening.
After that, Su Yun and Chen Shasha each left the Salvation Space.
…
Xiubei Residential Community.
Chen Shasha sat on the sofa at home, looking utterly confused.
Why had the Divine Maiden asked her to come along tonight?
She hadn’t even said what they were going to…
Wait!
“I’m such an idiot! It must be a date between the Divine Maiden and the CEO!”
“The Divine Maiden is so far above everyone else, but she’s not good with words. She must need me, the expert love-life wingwoman, to help her out. That’s why she asked me to come along.”
“Who knew the Divine Maiden, aloof as she is, would be so savvy? She knows that when you can’t manage on your own, you should bring in a teammate to help.”
When the time came, she’d help the Divine Maiden win over the CEO! That would repay the Divine Maiden for the beauty pill.
…
6 p.m.
Su Yun was playing a game when she heard the doorbell ring.
It was probably Chen Shasha.
Su Yun went to answer the door.
“Wahaha! I finally get to see the Divine Maiden in this form!” Chen Shasha exclaimed.
To Chen Shasha, the Divine Maiden in the Salvation Space had been noble and beautiful—more beautiful, even, than Su Yun in the real world.
But the Divine Maiden in the Salvation Space had seemed too far above her. Her powerful aura made Chen Shasha afraid to harbor even the slightest improper thought about her.
By contrast, the beautiful girl standing in the doorway was much more approachable.
With her perfect figure and stunning features, she was enough to make even another woman’s heart flutter.
“Do you know why I asked you to come over today?” Su Yun asked.
“I know, I know. I get it.” Chen Shasha gave her a thumbs-up.
“I’ll carry out the mission perfectly!”
Su Yun was a little puzzled. She hadn’t even told Chen Shasha what she wanted her to do, and she already knew?
What Su Yun wanted was for Chen Shasha to come along and ease the awkwardness.
And, when it mattered, to block Chu Feng.
As long as she didn’t spend too much time around Chu Feng, there’d be no follow-up missions after this one.
Better yet, she’d say as little as possible and let Chen Shasha do the talking. That would lower the chances of triggering another mission.
Still, just to be safe, Su Yun explained what she wanted Chen Shasha to do.
“When Chu Feng says something, try to answer him yourself. Only let me answer if you really can’t. Got it?” Su Yun said.
“I get it. This kind of mission is right up my alley. I’ll do it perfectly,” Chen Shasha said confidently.
Just as she’d guessed!
The Divine Maiden’s date was with Chu Feng after all.
As the Divine Maiden, she was sure to be reserved and unwilling to make the first move.
If the Divine Maiden couldn’t make the first move, then Chen Shasha would do it for her.
She’d drop plenty of hints to her CEO, Chu Feng, and get him to make a move and sweep the Divine Maiden off her feet.
Wouldn’t that make her the matchmaker who brought the Divine Maiden and CEO Chu together?
If she helped the Divine Maiden and CEO Chu pull off such a difficult mission…
Then whether it was the Divine Maiden granting her mysterious powers or CEO Chu offering her a job and a salary, the rewards would come pouring in!
Best of all, she could think of a way to speed things up between the two of them during dinner…
Got it!
