"Lin Chuan-kun~"
Struggling to get up from the toilet, Murasaki Natsume staggered toward the door.
As she moved, the invisibility cloak slowly fell to the ground.
As evening approached, the streets were filled with travelers heading home.
Upon seeing the pale-faced and stunningly beautiful Natsume Murasaki, everyone couldn't help but take a second look.
Not far away, two thugs with dragon and phoenix tattoos on their arms and earrings on their ears saw this and their eyes immediately lit up with a glint of shrewdness.
After exchanging a glance, they slowly followed...
They arrived at a relatively quiet spot and were about to take action when they suddenly felt a light tap on their shoulder.
Already feeling guilty, this almost scared the two of them out of their wits.
He abruptly turned his head, looked at the unbelievably handsome young man in front of him, and shouted angrily, "You son of a bitch..."
But before they could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a piercing pain coming from below.
Although they are not women and have never experienced the pain of childbirth, they probably think that the pain is nothing more than this!
The next moment, unable to hold on any longer, the two fell heavily to the ground, clutching their genitals with both hands, their bodies bent like shrimp.
Hearing a muffled thud behind her, Natsume Murasaki, her eyes vacant, instinctively turned around.
When she saw that familiar figure and that familiar smile, her previously empty eyes immediately lit up with a few glints of light.
Then, with a mixture of anticipation and fear, she asked, "Is it you?"
She was so scared! So scared that this was just a hallucination caused by her longing for Lin Chuan.
She originally thought that her relationship with the other party was just a promise, and that the person she truly loved was Yamano Yuta.
But when the other party is resolute and disregards their own safety to leave the hope of survival to themselves.
She then realized that she had fallen deeply in love with him through the little things and the days they spent together over the past two years.
I didn't dare admit it before, it was just because I was scared!
It was rare to see the usually decisive and efficient Natsumi Murasaki show such a vulnerable side in front of him.
Lin Chuan smiled and opened his arms wide: "Xia Ye-chan, it's only been a short while, and you don't recognize me anymore~"
Hearing those familiar words and meeting that gentle gaze, Murasaki no Natsume could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down her face like broken pearls.
Then, she hurriedly moved her perfectly proportioned, slender legs—perfectly rounded and beautiful—and pounced on him like a swallow returning to its nest.
Feeling that warm embrace again, the girl clenched her fists and pounded heavily on the other person's firm chest: "You bastard, who told you to leave me behind and run away..."
Lin Chuan, of course, could not remain indifferent to this.
He immediately reached out his hands, gently cupped the other person's tear-streaked face, and slowly leaned down to kiss those soft, cloud-like lips.
When attacked, Natsume Murasaki initially fought back.
But gradually, the resistance grew weaker and weaker...
Soon, a wisp of pale white fluorescence slowly flew out from above its head.
The moment it appeared, it seemed to be drawn by something irresistible, and suddenly shot into Lin Chuan's body.
The next moment, the small golden icon shaped like a book in the lower right corner of the system panel suddenly shone brightly.
Wearing a gray T-shirt on top and brown sweatpants on the bottom, the figure of Akane Nanao, who had an outrageous figure, flipped over.
Wearing a light purple dress, with eyebrows like distant mountains and eyes like autumn waters, the trembling woman, Natsume Murasaki, slowly appeared.
The girl was born with bright, expressive eyes, her brows revealing a blend of youthful innocence and alluring charm.
One glance is enough to leave an unforgettable impression.
As the final stroke was completed, a pleasant system notification suddenly sounded:
[Congratulations, host, on successfully acquiring your second goddess—Natsumi Murasaki. Rewards from *The Record of Beauties*: 30000 Story Points, Rare Item: Horse Talisman (Epic), Skill: Soaring Dragon Sword Technique (Excellent), Appearance +1, Space Marker.]
Chapter Twenty-Five: The Demonic Monk Black Lotus
Just when Lin Chuan thought it was over, another system notification quietly sounded:
[The system has detected that the host has successfully won over two goddesses. To provide them with a suitable living environment, the system has opened the Homestead function. The host can view the specific functions on the system interface.]
"Homestead function?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan curiously opened the system interface.
Sure enough, a small house-shaped icon appeared in the bottom right corner.
Just as he was about to investigate, a sinister, piercing voice, like fingernails scratching a blackboard, suddenly rang out from not far away: "So it was you who ruined this monk's great medicine?!"
Even though it was the height of summer, Lin Chuan felt a chill run down his spine the moment those words were spoken.
He suddenly turned his head and saw an old monk a few meters away, dressed in a black robe, thin as a bamboo pole, with a skull necklace around his neck. His eyes were as still as a stagnant pool, staring at him.
Even though the other party didn't make any move, Lin Chuan's body couldn't stop wanting to escape.
This is an instinct deeply ingrained in the bones of humankind's ancestors as they struggled to survive for millions of years.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing his pounding heart, Lin Chuan fired a True Sight Eye:
Name: Black Lotus
Age: 158
Personality: Lustful, cold-hearted, and ruthless
Skills: Life Drain Technique, Salvation Scripture, Golden Bell Shield
Items: Flesh Lotus, Human Head Prayer Beads, Vajra Pestle
Favorability: -100
Overall strength: Earth Rank Perfection
My recent thoughts: "This kid is only a mere Yellow Rank, how could he possibly kill Buck Gangzang..."
Upon seeing his strength at the peak of the Earth Rank, Lin Chuan's pupils suddenly contracted.
This was the most troublesome existence he had encountered since he transmigrated.
Although a combat puppet can briefly engage in combat with its opponent, it will certainly not be a match for them.
At the same time, sensing Lin Chuan's tense muscles, Shinomiya Natsume asked softly, "Lin Chuan-kun, what's wrong?"
Before he could speak, the demonic monk Hei Lian, upon seeing the stunningly beautiful face of Zi Zhi Gong Xia Ye, had a glint in his eyes.
Then, a compassionate expression appeared on his aged face: "Female benefactor, you have an affinity with Buddhism. Why not join my Buddhist sect and become a Bodhisattva, so that you can share the Western Paradise with this humble monk?"
As they spoke, the Ferryman Sutra was activated, and a strange sound wave spread toward Natsume Murasaki.
However, when they reached within five meters of him, they seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier and could not get any closer.
Seeing this old bastard actually trying to convert his woman right in front of him, Lin Chuan felt a surge of anger rising in his eyes.
"You old bastard, you're asking for it!"
With a roar, Lin Chuan immediately threw out a talisman paper that was entirely blue and crackling with electric arcs.
Black Lotus didn't care about this at first.
After all, even if a mere Yellow-rank ant killed Xiong Lu Gangzang, a late-stage Profound-rank cultivator, through some clever trick, how could he possibly be a match for someone at the peak of Earth-rank?
You must know, he was just one step away from opening the bridge between heaven and earth and becoming a Buddha!
However, upon sensing the immense and ferocious energy hidden within the talisman, the expression on Black Lotus's face changed drastically, and he was no longer as calm as before.
The next moment, he hurriedly threw out something and put his hands together to activate the Golden Bell Shield.
The Golden Bell Shield cast by Buddhist monks should be majestic and righteous, capable of repelling all evil.
However, the Black Lotus's Golden Bell Shield was entirely black, with hideous and painful faces on it.
However, compared to the thing he had just thrown out, these were all minor insignificance.
Looking at the "lotus" slowly blooming above his head, Lin Chuan felt a chill run down his spine.
He recognized this thing; in fact, he liked it very much.
But he couldn't like this grotesque appearance at all.
At this moment, when Murasaki Natsume, who was in his arms, saw this scene, her originally rosy cheeks turned as pale as paper, and she felt a churning in her stomach.
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she ran to the side and vomited violently.
At the same time, the talismans that Lin Chuan had thrown out earlier began to display their power.
A white lightning serpent, about the thickness of a water bucket, shot out from within and crashed heavily down towards the black lotus.
However, before it could strike its opponent, it was blocked by the "lotus flower".
In an instant, countless shrill screams came from within, disturbing everyone's peace of mind.
Seeing this, Hei Lian's face once again showed a compassionate expression: "Benefactor, in this flesh lotus of mine, there temporarily reside the souls of 49 female bodhisattvas who were devoted to Buddhism."
"Aren't you afraid of going to hell for doing this?!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan almost laughed in anger: "What a treacherous old dog who turns black into white and confuses right and wrong!"
"If I don't send you to hell today, I'll write my name Lin Chuan backwards!"
After saying that, he threw out several more of the same talismans as before.
The legendary Five Thunder Talisman can unleash power equivalent to a casual strike from a Heavenly Rank expert. It is priced at 10000 Story Points per talisman.
To get rid of this old bastard, Lin Chuan went all out, leaving only a little over 5000 for emergencies and throwing the rest into the scheme.
On the other side, when he saw Lin Chuan throw out so many Five Thunder Talismans at once, the old man with the dark face instantly turned green.
