The confession, which wasn't really a confession, ended in failure.
After Chu Xinxin finished speaking about being "kept," Xiao Linyi's favorability rating dropped from 2000 to 748.
The system was sluggish, and no matter how much Chu Xinxin tried to comfort it, it didn't work.
"How about we go on another blind date? Or a different one? We don't want Xiao Linyi anymore," Chu Xinxin suggested.
The system remained silent.
Chu Xinxin: "Then tell me what you want."
System: [Move into Zichen Palace immediately to boost Xiao Linyi's favorability!]
Chu Xinxin: "I can't do it."
system:......
The host lacks ambition, the target of his pursuit is elusive, and the skills the system learned from Tianji are completely useless.
This can't go on forever.
System: [Sister, let me tell you the truth. Only people on the verge of death are bound to a system. In other words, in the main world, you're a vegetable lying in a hospital, ready to die at any moment. Your prolonged sleep deprivation, coupled with that hangover that day, caused brain death, which is why you're bound to me. The longer you do missions, the worse your physical condition in the main world will become. If you exceed the time we can buy for you, you will truly die.]
Chu Xinxin's heart clenched: "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
[Our rules forbid us from saying this. If I tell you, the consequence is that I'll be locked up by the supervisory department, and many functions will be unusable when I return.]
Is it serious? Does it have a significant impact on you?
System: [There will definitely be punishment, but don't worry, sister, I can handle it. The confinement might be ten days or longer. Sister, while I'm gone, you must remember to do the tasks, and...]
Before the system could finish speaking, it was taken to solitary confinement, and no matter how Chu Xinxin called out to it, it didn't respond.
Chu Xinxin is now worried about herself, worried about the system, and also feels a little guilty.
She was indeed not very interested in the mission. In the main world, although her parents had long since divorced and remarried, they treated her very well. Chu Xinxin was always free to do whatever she wanted, and no one forced her to do what she didn't want to. So when she was bound to the system and urged to do the mission, she was a bit lazy, only moving when pushed and only regressing when not pushed.
Moreover, in this small world, she had food, drink, fun, and a system from the main world to accompany her, so she felt quite happy.
Now that the system can disappear without a trace and she doesn't know when it will return, Chu Xinxin felt a sense of panic.
It was as if she was the only person left in the vast world.
what to do?
Chu Xinxin calmed down and realized that if she wanted to leave this place quickly, she needed to complete the mission, which required maximizing Xiao Linyi's favorability.
That's it!
Chu Xinxin immediately went to the main hall to find Xiao Linyi, but Xiao Linyi was not there.
She then asked the second steward for Xiao Linyi's voice transmission password, and sent several voice transmission talismans, but received no reply.
Chu Xinxin guarded the Weixin Palace for three days, but she didn't see a trace of Xiao Linyi.
Xiao Linyi did not take back the token that granted him unrestricted access to the Zichen Palace.
Does that mean... she can still come to your door anytime?
Chu Xinxin, having gone this far, went home after work that day, threw all her belongings into her storage ring, canceled her rental agreement, and summoned her fire phoenix to fly towards the Zichen Palace.
Zichen Palace is located in the north of Shengjing, right at the seventh inch of Shengjing's dragon vein, where spiritual energy is abundant. Logically, there should be many houses around it, but in reality, within a radius of ten miles, apart from flowers, trees and groves, there are very few even spiritual beasts.
Xiao Linyi's karma is too terrible; no one wants to test the law with their own body.
Chu Xinxin knocked on the door politely, but after waiting for a while and no one came to open it, she had no choice but to take out her token and open the door herself.
As a result, she searched the entire Zichen Palace but couldn't find a single person.
The entire Zichen Palace was empty.
"Strange, does Xiao Linyi have another residence?" Chu Xinxin sat by the pond watching the koi, and casually sent a message to Ya Wen.
Yawen replied quickly.
"He has no other residence. According to reliable sources, he has been staying in Zichen Palace ever since you drove him away yesterday."
Chu Xinxin put away the communication talisman: "He hasn't gone out, and I can't find him no matter how hard I look, so he's hiding from me?"
That's interesting.
Chu Xinxin's eyes darted around, then she looked down at her skirt and came up with a plan.
......
While in his secluded chamber, Xiao Linyi sensed that Chu Xinxin had left Zichen Palace. He breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a slight sense of loss.
But when he thought about how Chu Xinxin misinterpreted his feelings in front of so many people that day, Xiao Linyi just couldn't swallow his anger.
Chu Xinxin would have to visit her at least three times before she could forgive him.
Sending a message talisman counts as "one visit," and coming to Zichen Palace today counts as "one visit." If she gives him another "one visit," he will reluctantly go out to see her.
Xiao Lin had high hopes, but reality is always cruel.
He had only circulated his spiritual energy for one full cycle when Tianji's transmission talisman arrived.
"Old Xiao, did you and your wife have a fight? Good heavens, she actually went to a brothel!"
Take the middle character of Qingxianglou and add the character "男" (male) in front of it.
The Di Yao Continent is known for its open-mindedness, but the path to immortality is long and arduous. Not everyone can find a Daoist partner, and even those who do can spend their lives together. As a result, restaurants like Qingxianglou have emerged, specifically designed for female cultivators who are unhappy with their lives and feel lost.
Where did Chu Xinxin go?!
Xiao Linyi clenched his fist and then released it, thinking, "What does this have to do with me?" Then he burned the communication talisman, closed his eyes, and entered meditation again.
But there was always an unnamed anger in my heart, and my spiritual energy could not circulate smoothly even in a small cycle.
Qingxianglou, restaurant, wine, Chu Xinxin, drunk, after drinking...
Xiao Linyi could no longer sit still.
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a person completely hidden in a black cloak appeared outside the Qingxiang Tower. The madam at the door glanced at him subtly and, judging from his figure, it was a man.
The man stood at the door, hesitant, wanting to go in but too embarrassed to do so.
The madam smiled knowingly and went to greet him: "My esteemed guest, don't be shy. My Qingxiang Pavilion has everything you could want, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
The man lowered his voice: "I'm not... I'm here to find someone."
"I understand, I understand. Everyone who comes here is looking for someone." The madam smiled and touched the man's cloak. Oh, the priceless ice silk. It seems that no matter what, she will have to keep him at the Green Pavilion for the night.
The madam kept talking, and the man tried several times to interrupt but couldn't get a word in edgewise.
"Go, bring over all four of the top brands."
The madam grabbed a manager and gave him instructions.
Manager: "But they all have guests over there."
"Don't worry about it. I'll apologize to them later. You call for help first."
The manager accepted the order and left. The madam had just had the man sit down in the private room when a furious roar came from the next room: "You just snatch the person I ordered? I want to see who's so domineering!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain of the private room was lifted, and Tianji's familiar face appeared. His eyes lit up: "Hey, Lao Xiao, you're here so quickly?"
There is only one person whom Master Tianji calls Old Xiao—that one from Zichen Palace!
The madam looked as if she had stumbled upon some earth-shattering secret, her eyes widening as she covered her mouth in disbelief: "Mmm...mmm!"
The gist of it is: "Don't worry, Master Zichen, I won't tell anyone."
Then he slipped away and ran, leaving Xiao Linyi unable to explain himself.
