After that, it climbed very slowly by 1 point and then stopped moving.
Clearly, she still had some reservations.
She was worried that Lin Chuan might be acting, or that he might be deceiving himself.
Although she knew in her heart that it was basically impossible, she still couldn't help but feel this kind of worry because she had experienced betrayal before.
And that's something Lin Chuan will need to work hard for!
After soaking for a while longer, Lin Chuan, feeling a bit hungry, looked down at Tuofu Chengjiang, who was nestled in his arms like a lazy kitten: "Chengjiang, are you hungry?"
"Is Master hungry? Chengjiang will go cook right away!"
Having said that, she stood up from Lin Chuan's embrace.
"Wow~"
With a splashing sound, a stunning Western-style sculpture emerged into the world.
The bright moonlight shone on it, as if draping it in a silvery-white veil.
After quickly tidying up, Tuofu Chengjiang strode towards the villa with his long, shapely, and flawless legs.
After the beauty left, Lin Chuan, feeling rather bored, grabbed a white bath towel, wiped himself a few times, and was about to leave.
Just then, a clear and melodious voice, like that of a lark, suddenly rang out: "You stinky onii-chan~, you're here to soak in the hot spring too!"
In this manor, besides that little devil Shenmu Fengsha, who else would dare to call themselves that?
Looking at the pretty girl in front of him, wearing a blue sailor uniform on top and a black school uniform on the bottom, Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly: "Yes! Hot springs are rich in various minerals, and soaking in them is very good for your health."
"Right! I think so too, you stinky onii-chan, are you done soaking? If you are..."
Before she could finish speaking, Kaori Kamiki felt herself step into a broad embrace.
Along with that embrace came Lin Chuan's deep, magnetic voice: "I was done soaking, but now I think I can soak a little longer~"
.....six..
Chapter 73 Successfully Included Tuofu Chengjiang
Over the next two days, Lin Chuan would either host a few parties at the manor, take Iwasaki Mitsuko on dates, or visit his little slave at Shiratsuyu Private Middle School.
It's worth mentioning that Mitsuko Iwasaki and Fuuka Kamiki attended the same school.
Therefore, when he went to pick up the other party, he was successfully spotted by them.
Although he didn't say anything at the time, it took him a lot of effort to calm her down when he came back in the evening.
That evening, after finishing the oyako-don (chicken and egg rice bowl) made by Kamiki Otoyo, Lin Chuan leaned back on the sofa with a satisfied smile on his lips.
Sure enough, what the other party did was more in line with my wishes.
Just then, Kamiki Fuuka, her belly slightly bulging, came to Lin Chuan's side and pulled his arm: "Onii-chan, it's not good to sit still right after eating, let's go swimming!"
Lin Chuan originally didn't want to go, but he couldn't resist the other party's persistent pleading, so he had no choice but to accompany them to the pool.
After swimming a couple of laps with great enjoyment, just as he was about to teach the girl some swimming techniques, Shenmu Fengsha's gentle voice came from the living room: "Lin Chuan-kun, you're on the phone~"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan had no choice but to temporarily release the beautiful woman in his arms, lower his head and gently peck at her jelly-like, plump cherry lips before getting up from the pool.
Upon entering the living room, Shenmu Fengsha handed over his phone, his tone tinged with a hint of resentment: "Here, your girlfriend is calling."
Seeing this, Lin Chuan gently stretched out his arm and embraced the girl's slender yet voluptuous waist, whispering in her ear, "Feng Sha Jiang, tonight..."
Upon hearing the so-called "compensation," Shenmu Fengsha blushed deeply, threw her phone into his arms, and said softly and coquettishly, "Fengxiang was right, you're such a bad guy, I'm ignoring you~"
Having said that, he took small, quick steps and hurried away.
Looking at his back, it seems like he is running away in a panic.
A slow smile crept onto Lin Chuan's lips as he picked up his phone and pressed the answer button: "My dear Mitsuko, is something wrong that you're calling so late?"
"Can't I call Lin Chuan-jun if there's nothing wrong?"
"sure..."
After a long, intimate phone conversation, Mitsuko revealed the purpose of her call—she wanted to invite Lin Chuan to go boating on the lake together the next day.
Lin Chuan naturally couldn't refuse this invitation.
After all, the other party's favorability rating has now reached 95. With a little more effort, another goddess can be added to the "Collection of Beauties".
After a brief, sweet farewell, Lin Chuan suddenly noticed a somewhat envious gaze from not far away.
Following the direction of the gaze, what came into view was Takumi Chengjiang, dressed in a black and white maid outfit, gentle and charming.
Realizing she had been caught peeping, the little maid instinctively buried her head in the sand like an ostrich.
Upon seeing this, Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly and appeared in front of him in a flash.
Extending her right index finger, she gently lifted that delicate chin: "Chengjiang, how about we go on a date the day after tomorrow?"
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of light appeared in Tuofu Chengjiang's clear, bright eyes, revealing a stirring within them.
But in the end, she gently shook her head: "No need, I'm just a maid, how could I..."
Before he could finish speaking, a tingling sensation came from behind him.
With her pearly white teeth gently biting her thin lips, the little maid's eyes revealed a hint of grievance.
But Lin Chuan felt no remorse for it.
Instead, his face was now grim: "Do you know you were wrong?"
This was the first time Tuofu Chengjiang had seen Lin Chuan like this, and he murmured in a voice barely above a whisper, "I...I understand."
"You know? Hmph, if you really knew, you wouldn't have said those things before."
"I've said it more than once, you, like Yi Ye and Feng Sha, are all my women..."
Sensing that Lin Chuan was truly angry this time, Takumi Chengjiang felt both touched and deeply alarmed.
Lin Chuan is terrified that he will hate himself in the future, Lin Chuan is terrified...
The thought of being loathed by him in the future made Takumi Sumie feel her heart clench.
At this moment, the tragic memories of being homeless after his parents' death in his childhood, and the shadow of being traded as commodities by Chairman Tuofu, all erupted at once.
Crystalline tears streamed down her face like a burst dam: "Master, I'm sorry! Chengjiang truly knows she was wrong. Please, please don't hate Chengjiang, please don't kick Chengjiang out..."
"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan was taken aback.
Then, he reached out and placed his hand on the top of the head, gently stroking it a few times: "Silly girl, how could I possibly send you away over such a small thing?"
Feeling the intense heat emanating from the large hand, Tuofu Chengjiang's delicate body trembled slightly, and she gently raised her head.
Upon seeing Lin Chuan's gaze, warm as the winter sun, her nose suddenly stung with tears: "Master..."
His movements became even gentler, and Lin Chuan abruptly changed the subject: "However, it's truly heartbreaking that Chengjiang distrusts his master so much. Therefore, I must punish you. Do you have any objections?"
He sniffed hard, then quickly shook his head vigorously: "No, no!"
"Very well, then I'll punish you..."
After Lin Chuan finished explaining his "punishment," the little maid's originally translucent earlobes turned bright red, but she still nodded her head gently in agreement.
As the moon rose above the willow branches, nestled in Lin Chuan's arms, Tuofu Chengjiang smiled happily.
This time, she felt like she had truly found her home.
Upon realizing this, a wisp of pale white fluorescence slowly flew out from above his head.
The moment it appeared, it transformed into a stream of light and shot into Lin Chuan's body.
Familiar formula, familiar taste.
2.7 Wearing a light blue sailor uniform on top and a black JK uniform on the bottom, with a mischievous look between her brows and exuding a strong youthful vibe, Kaori Shinki turned over.
On the blank page, Tuofu Chengjiang, dressed in a black and white maid outfit, with bright eyes and a beautiful appearance, slowly appears.
The beautiful woman possessed a blend of youthful innocence and alluring charm, exuding a delicate and fragile aura that made one want to embrace her and comfort her tenderly at first sight.
A moment later, as the last stroke was completed, a pleasant system notification suddenly rang out:
[Congratulations, host, on successfully recruiting your seventh goddess—Tuofu Chengjiang. Rewards from *The Record of Beauties*: 30000 Story Points, Rare Item: Eye of Aurora (Legendary), Rare Item: Serpent Talisman (Epic), Appearance +1, Space Marker.]
Chapter Seventy-Four: Whispers from the Boat
A gentle breeze rustled the dappled leaves outside the window.
Nestled in that embrace that gave him endless security, and smelling the faint scent of lavender, Tuofu Chengjiang felt a strong sense of weariness rising up, and his upper and lower eyelids kept fighting each other.
Gradually, unable to resist any longer, the beauty slowly drifted off to sleep.
Looking at the little maid sleeping peacefully like a baby, and listening to her rhythmic breathing, Lin Chuan's lips curled into a slight smile.
After reaching out and pinching the other person's smooth, bouncy cheek, he checked the rewards he had previously received.
