No response.
"Where did this old scammer go to mooch food now?" Lin Che muttered and went downstairs to find the innkeeper.
"Honored guest looking for that old Daoist?" The innkeeper smiled apologetically, "He checked out three days ago, said he was going to 'wander the four seas'."
[System: Detecting host got stood up. Intelligence -10, anger +100.]
"Wander the four seas?" Lin Che was stunned for a moment, then realized, "No wonder it's been quiet these past few days. So the old thing already ran away!"
He cursed and returned to his room, took out the communication jade token, and sent a message to Luo Jiayin: "Jiayin, help me with something."
The jade token was silent for three seconds before Luo Jiayin's gnashing-teeth voice came through: "You lecher, what do you want now?"
"Get me a teleportation coordinate to Tianmen Fort, urgent."
"Tianmen Fort? What's that place?"
"My old base, over in Central Continent." Lin Che explained, "I need to bring my old brothers over."
"Central Continent…" Luo Jiayin gasped, "That's billions of miles away. A teleportation coordinate that far requires at least a Void Refinement cultivator to construct…"
"You are the Deputy Pavilion Master, can't even handle this small matter?" Lin Che provoked.
"Who says I can't! Wait for me!" Luo Jiayin angrily cut off the communication.
[System: Host successfully PUA'd the Holy Maiden. Efficiency +50, shamelessness +100. Friendly reminder: Your behavior is very similar to an evil capitalist.]
Less than an hour later, Luo Jiayin arrived at the inn in a whirlwind.
"Here!" She threw a jade slip to Lin Che, "Cross-realm teleportation coordinate personally constructed by a Void Refinement elder, single use only, expires after use!"
Lin Che caught the jade slip and was about to thank her when he suddenly noticed Lin Ying hadn't returned yet.
[System: Detecting little sister absent, host can start misbehaving now.]
The corner of his mouth curved up as he pulled Luo Jiayin into his arms, making her sit on his lap.
"Ahh—!" Luo Jiayin shrieked, "You… what are you doing! Ying'er is still here!"
"She went to play." Lin Che grinned wickedly as his large hand already rested on her slender waist, "Now, it's just the two of us."
As he spoke, his other hand was already misbehaving, climbing to her chest and gently kneading through the thin fabric.
"Mm… stop… you lecher…" Luo Jiayin's entire body went weak. She wanted to struggle but was held completely in his embrace.
[System: Warning! Detecting host's behavior escalating. Suggest stopping immediately, or you may trigger the "Hatchet Ending"!]
"Shut up!" Lin Che cursed in his mind, "I know what I'm doing!"
His hand moved downward, sliding past her flat abdomen to land on her perky butt cheek, giving it a squeeze.
"Ah…" Luo Jiayin trembled all over and completely collapsed in his arms, lacking the strength to even resist.
[System: Warning! Target's gasping index has reached critical point! If you don't stop, it will trigger the "Reverse Seduction Plot"!]
Lin Che finally withdrew his hand reluctantly and blew a breath in her ear: "Alright, enough playing. Thanks for the teleportation coordinate, Deputy Pavilion Master."
Luo Jiayin was both ashamed and angry, but lacked the strength to curse him. She could only lean weakly against his chest, gasping for breath.
"You… you scoundrel…" Her voice was choked with sobs.
"How am I a scoundrel?" Lin Che looked innocent, "I was touching my own Deputy Pavilion Master, perfectly justified."
[System: Host's face thickness has broken through the heavens. Suggest applying for a Guinness World Record.]
After a long while, Luo Jiayin finally recovered, broke free from his embrace, straightened her messy clothes, and glared at him fiercely: "If you dare do this again, I'll… I'll…"
"What?" Lin Che raised an eyebrow, "Bite me?"
"I… I'll bite you to death!" Luo Jiayin stomped her foot in anger and turned to run.
When she reached the door, she stopped again, turned back, and said fiercely: "Tomorrow at Chen hour, I'll come to take you to the former Sky Profound Sect site! Don't be late!"
With that, her figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.
[System: Congratulations to host for successfully teasing the Holy Maiden. Obtained teleportation coordinate ×1, Deputy Pavilion Master's favorability +50 (now at 80), Integrity -999.]
"What's integrity? Can you eat it?" Lin Che shrugged, stored away the jade slip, "Ying'er! Come back and pack your bags, brother's taking you to fetch some people!"
