After winning over Mitsuko Iwasaki, Lin Chuan's savings finally broke through to six figures.
The legendary quality affinity talent doubles its effect, directly increasing the affinity of any creature by 40 points.
After settling everything down, Lin Chuan teleported towards the location of the Slit-Mouthed Woman, following the instructions on the system map.
In a secluded alley, the Slit-Mouthed Woman was doing her old job.
She stopped a young man and asked him if he was beautiful.
The young man, terrified out of his wits, dared not answer.
Then, he was gone!
Savoring that delicious despair, a hint of enjoyment appeared on the slit-mouthed woman's charming face.
Suddenly, she felt a dull pain in her chest, and her expression instantly darkened: "Damn it, don't let me run into you, or else..."
It turns out that sometimes you really shouldn't talk about people behind their backs, or you might easily attract their attention.
Before the Slit-Mouthed Woman could finish speaking, a mocking voice rang in her ear: "Or what?"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, without the slightest hesitation, the Slit-Mouthed Woman pulled a pair of scissors gleaming with a chilling light from her pocket and viciously attacked from behind.
Lin Chuan sensed a deep sense of despair and malice from the scissors, and could faintly hear wails in his ears.
Clearly, this is a murder weapon steeped in the blood of countless ordinary people...
However, the scissors were now badly damaged and almost broken.
And this, naturally, is Lin Chuan's masterpiece.
After a moment, seeing that her attack had failed, the Slit-Mouthed Woman did not linger in the fight and immediately tried to escape.
But Lin Chuan wasn't about to let his prey escape: "Trying to run? Not so easy."
"Hmph! I admit I'm no match for you, but if I want to leave, you can't stop me!"
"is it?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan's lips curled into a playful smile, and he gently took out a talisman with his right hand and tossed it out.
The next moment, the Slit-Mouthed Woman's body, which had already become mostly ethereal, suddenly solidified.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Chuan's playful voice rang out again: "I let you escape with this trick once before. If you escape again this time, how am I supposed to live in the future?"
Realizing that her most prized skill had failed, the smug expression on the Slit-Mouthed Woman's face was instantly replaced by terror: "What happened? Why can't I teleport anymore? What did you do, you bastard?"
"What an impolite female ghost! Looks like I'll have to teach you a lesson in manners!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chuan's figure suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of him.
His right hand gripped her snow-white neck like an iron clamp, and then...
After a long while, the Slit-Mouthed Woman, suppressing her pain, angrily said, "It's no use. I am a monster formed from human fear. As long as humans still fear me, I cannot be destroyed."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan scoffed dismissively, "Is that so? I don't believe it. Purification power 3.7!"
After a long while, seeing that the power of purification had little effect on him and feeling his disdainful gaze, Lin Chuan instantly became angry.
He then spent 5000 story points in the system shop to purchase a 100x talent enhancement card.
Its only effect is to increase the talent strength by a hundredfold for the next hour.
With the purifying power amplified a hundredfold, the slit-mouthed woman's previous arrogance vanished: "What? How could you... no!"
As a ray of dawn pierced through the endless darkness, Lin Chuan finally succeeded in purifying the wicked Slit-Mouthed Woman.
Looking at the female ghost, who resembled a beautiful jade sculpture under the golden sunlight, Lin Chuan nodded in satisfaction and then put her into the Demon Spirit System.
The next moment, a pleasant system notification quietly sounded in my ear:
[Congratulations, host, on successfully subduing the urban legend—the Slit-Mouthed Woman.]
Chapter 87 Yangli's Invitation
Inside the manor, in the living room, Lin Chuan, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, saw that Kamiki Otoha had changed into a tight-fitting purple-black yoga outfit, and his eyes gleamed.
He then slowly got up and came to her side, gently wrapping his arm around her plump waist: "Yoto, why did you suddenly decide to practice yoga?"
"I've noticed that my figure seems to have gone out of shape lately, and I want to reshape my body."
"Who says that? Isn't this perfect?"
As he spoke, Lin Chuan's gaze lingered on the woman's exquisitely beautiful body, taking her in and out.
"Of course you wouldn't notice, you little rascal..."
The more she spoke, the softer Kamiki Otoyo's voice became, until finally it was barely a whisper.
Looking at the mature and charming woman, who resembled a fresh and juicy peach, and seeing her shy demeanor before him, Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly, a mischievous smile appearing on his face: "Oh~, what do you think of me?"
Upon hearing this, Kamiki Otoyo, feeling deeply embarrassed, immediately started shooing her away: "Go away, go find Sumie and the others, don't bother me, I need to practice yoga!"
However, it was clear that Lin Chuan would not be so easily dismissed.
He proceeded with the task with practiced ease, his mischievous grin widening: "Yotoko, I also know some yoga, I can help you~"
Faced with this self-recommendation, Kamiki Otoyo refused without hesitation: "I... I don't need your help."
Unfortunately, this tough stance did not last long and crumbled under Lin Chuan's silver tongue and a series of subtle maneuvers.
Soon after, just as the two were practicing yoga, a melodious cell phone ringtone suddenly sounded.
Lin Chuan glanced at the caller ID, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, before picking up his phone and pressing the answer button.
"Yangli, is there something you need?"
"Lin, Lin Chuan-jun, you saved me yesterday. I'd like to invite you to dinner. Do you have time tonight?"
"Since it was Yangli who invited me, I naturally have the time..."
A moment later, just as Lin Chuan hung up the phone, he was met with a charming eye roll.
He reached out and smoothed the strands of hair that were stuck to Otoyo's forehead, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Otoyo, we're about to move on to the next move~"
It was late afternoon, near the Suzuki family home.
At this moment, Suzuki Hari had changed into a beige dress, and from a distance, she looked like a sunflower full of sunshine and hope.
After the car stopped, the girl opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.
Just as she fastened her seatbelt, Suzuki Yori noticed Lin Chuan's gaze and blushed, lowering her head slightly.
Why is Lin Chuan looking at me like that? Also, is it just my imagination, but Lin Chuan seems even more handsome than yesterday...?
After a while, seeing that Lin Chuan still showed no sign of withdrawing his gaze, Suzuki Yori, unable to hide her embarrassment, whispered softly, "Lin...Lin Chuan-kun, can we go now?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan immediately looked as if he had just come to his senses.
Then, full of apologies, she said, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't realize Yangli looked so beautiful in this outfit."
As Mitsuko's best friend, Suzuki Yori should have been angry that her boyfriend made such frivolous remarks.
But at this moment, she felt no anger, only a faint joy.
With her head buried deep in her chest, the girl murmured in a voice barely above a whisper, "Lin...Lin Chuan-kun, let's go!"
"Okay! Okay! Let's go! We're leaving now!"
After saying that, Lin Chuan stepped on the gas and drove the Panamera away into the distance.
Soon, outside an exquisitely decorated and packed Western restaurant, Lin Chuan slowly stopped his car and looked at Suzuki Yori with a faint smile: "Yori-kun, how about we eat here?"
Looking at the obviously expensive restaurant, Yori Suzuki couldn't help but worry about her wallet.
I brought enough money with me, right?
But since it was my suggestion to treat them to dinner, I have to grit my teeth and bear it.
Then, she gently nodded her little head: "Okay, okay!"
A moment later, the heavy glass door was pushed open, and a melodious violin tune reached their ears.
Lin Chuan found a seat near the window, took the menu from the waiter, and looked at Suzuki Yori across from him with a faint smile: "Yori, this time I won't hold back!"
Looking at the dizzying array of prices on the menu, the girl forced a smile and said, "Lin Chuan-kun, just order whatever you like!"
Wellington steak, borscht, escargot...
As Lin Chuan made the point, Suzuki Yori was rapidly calculating in her mind.
She breathed a long sigh of relief when the last dish was served.
fine! fine!
Although it's a bit pricey, she can still afford it.
But to everyone's surprise, at that very moment the waiter started promoting their store's newly acquired batch of top-quality dry red wine.
Of course, the messenger didn't sell to just anyone.
Lin Chuan and his wife are a handsome couple, and the man's clothes are all very expensive.
If I can sell just one bottle, I'll have my rent covered for this month.
Then, under the expectant gaze of the envoy and the nervous gaze of Suzuki Yori, Lin Chuan smiled faintly and shook his head: "No need! I drove here today, so I can't drink."
Upon hearing this, Suzuki Yori breathed a long sigh of relief.
After all, that top-grade dry red wine sounds incredibly expensive, and her savings probably wouldn't even be enough to buy a single glass.
On the other side, the messenger's eyes flashed with disappointment as he failed to sell the drinks, but he still maintained a polite smile on his face.
Twenty minutes later, once all the dishes were served, the two began to enjoy their meal.
I must say, although it's a bit pricey, the taste is actually pretty good.
Halfway through the meal, Lin Chuan suddenly did something a bit out of line.
He then pulled out a napkin and used it to wipe the grease from the corner of Suzuki Yori's mouth.
Faced with this clearly outrageous act, the girl was stunned for a moment.
Lin Chuan only came to his senses after he withdrew his hand.
