Deep in the night, at the third quarter of the hour of Zi.
Lin Che tossed and turned in bed like a fish in a frying pan. It wasn't because he was returning to Tianmen Fort tomorrow, but because the feel of Luo Jiayin's body when he touched her during the day… well, it was quite addictive.
[System: Detected host's hormone secretion exceeding safe levels. Immediate release is recommended, otherwise sleep quality will be affected. Friendly reminder: The Five Maidens technique is available, would you like this system to provide instructional videos?]
"Scram!" Lin Che jumped out of bed. "I want a real person, not the Five Maidens!"
He took out his communication jade token. After hesitating for three seconds, he sent a message to Luo Jiayin: "Are you asleep?"
The token replied instantly: "No!"

Lin Che put on his outer robe and silently slipped out of the inn, stealthily making his way to the Emei Palace gates.
He found a hidden dog hole on the right side of the palace gate—Luo Jiayin had "inadvertently" told him about it during the day. The entrance was covered by bushes, surrounded by ancient trees that blocked out even the moonlight. It was the perfect spot for a secret rendezvous… no, a private meeting.
Lin Che struck a pose he thought was dashing: back to the dog hole, one hand on his hip, the other leaning against a tree trunk, head tilted at a 45-degree angle to gaze at the starry sky.
Hearing light footsteps behind him, he deliberately lowered his voice and spoke in a magnetic tone:
"The long night is endless, no desire for sleep. I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep, but it seems Miss Jingjing… ah no, Saintess Jiayin also can't sleep. Since you're here, let me show you some goldfish."
[System: Detected host quoting "A Chinese Odyssey" lines. Coolness index +50. Shame level +999. Warning: Target may not understand the reference.]
Luo Jiayin burst out laughing, peeking out from behind a tree: "Who's this Miss Jingjing? You have other lovers?"
Lin Che turned and grabbed her hand, his expression serious: "You're a hallucination. There's no Miss Jingjing."
"Huh?" Luo Jiayin was dumbfounded.
"Don't speak." Lin Che led her deeper into the woods. "Follow me. I'll show you the goldfish."
Moonlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows. The forest was so quiet that only their heartbeats could be heard.
Luo Jiayin let herself be pulled along, following him in a daze, and asked innocently: "Where are the goldfish?"
Lin Che suddenly turned, pressing her against a large tree, grinning wickedly: "Aren't I the goldfish?"
Without another word, he hugged her tightly. One large hand accurately grasped her ample breast, while the other nimbly slipped under her clothes.
"Mm! You… you're doing it again!" Luo Jiayin's body trembled. She wanted to struggle, but he had her completely encircled in his arms.
[System: Warning! Detected host is recklessly pushing criminal boundaries! Immediate stop is recommended, or it will trigger the "Outdoor Battle Scene"!]
"Mind your own business!" Lin Che cursed inwardly. "I'm going to devour her tonight!"
His palm kneaded skillfully, fingertips gently teasing the peak. The other hand roamed over her smooth, silk-like skin, traveling from her flat abdomen downward to forbidden territory.
"Ah… stop… you lecher…" Luo Jiayin's voice held a sobbing tone, but her body was soft as noodles, completely unable to muster any strength.
Under the moonlight, the forest echoed with the sound of fabric tearing, along with a woman's suppressed gasps and a man's low breathing.
[System: Detected host is implementing the "On-the-Spot Execution" plan! Emergency alarm! Alarm! This system has not installed the 18+ patch. The scene is about to be censored! Beep—Beep—Beep—]
"Scram!" Lin Che cursed while in action. "Keep beeping and I'll take care of you too!"
[System: …Host, you're awesome. This system admits defeat.]
[Scene censored… System entering sleep mode…]
The moonlight was like water, tree shadows swayed gracefully.
When everything returned to peace, Luo Jiayin lay limp in Lin Che's arms, tears still at the corners of her eyes, her voice hoarse: "You scoundrel… my… my innocence…"
"Don't worry, I'll take responsibility." Lin Che kissed her forehead, hugging her contentedly. "From today on, you're mine. The Deputy Pavilion Mistress of Blood God Pavilion will be my wi… hmm?"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Che suddenly felt a vast surge of spiritual power in his dantian!
