Soul Cultivation Mission: The Ghost Hand Talisman Arrives

[Ding!]

[Outstanding move! Your perfectly sculpted physique makes your dao companion's heart flutter at first glance!]

[Reward: 50 spirit stones]

[Ding!]

[Outstanding move! Your godlike proportions, worthy of classical paintings, earn deep admiration from Joyous Sect's Talisman Mistress!]

[Reward: 20 spirit stones]

The accidental exposure seemed to have positive effects after all.

Truth be told,

Just like men, most women prioritize physical attractiveness over inner beauty.

Admiring pretty faces and toned bodies remains the universal preference.

Inside the bedroom,

After changing into pajamas,

Lin Yu held a "pajama conference" with two similarly dressed young women.

Over ten minutes, he meticulously recounted the incident at the community hospital,

Deliberately framing himself as the noble hero "forced to intervene."

During dinner with the trio earlier,

Lin Yu had already prepared his narrative.

Attempting to brush things off without explanation would never work—

Given his rebellious disciple's razor-sharp perception and cunning nature,

She'd never let him get away with it.

Superhuman combat skills capable of taking on multiple opponents?

Hardly unbelievable.

At most, it just added another layer of mystique to Lin Yu's persona.

For the young women in this apartment,

He didn't mind them discovering more of his... assets.

"Yesss!"

"That makes me the senior disciple then!"

"Shifu, who knew you trained back in your hometown?"

"Seeing your physique just now—you look like a star athlete!"

Mo Shangying showed little skepticism.

Instead, she felt grateful that Sister Weiwei appeared so fortuitously,

Turning a crisis into fresh opportunities.

If Shifu could successfully challenge that dojo next,

That annoying cat would have to live under her watchful eyes.

Strangely, Mo Shangying felt a thrill of anticipation.

Lin Yu: "..."

His rebellious disciple really chose her words carefully.

"Just saw" his physique?

In her room, she'd seen it multiple times already!

Her acting was almost convincing.

As for Ye Mengfu,

She only absorbed about seventy percent of Lin Yu's story.

After glimpsing his physique earlier,

Last night's dream sequences began replaying like film clips in her mind—

Now with the male lead's proportions rendered in hyper-realistic detail.

Ye Mengfu chanted internally:

Don't think about it... don't think...

Mustn't dwell... mustn't...

Yet the harder she resisted, the sharper the mental images became.

Noticing Ye Mengfu's flushed, distracted expression, Mo Shangying teased:

"Little Fufu, did Shifu's story scare you?"

"Why so quiet?"

"Or... hehe... are you stunned by Shifu's physique?"

"Not some scrawny twig—must feel rock-hard, right?"

"Don't be shy, come test it out..."

Ye Mengfu: "Huh???"

Lin Yu: "Wha???"

Still lost in her fantasy, Ye Mengfu couldn't react fast enough

As Shangying grabbed her wrist and shoved it under Lin Yu's pajama top.

Lin Yu certainly could've dodged...

But why bother?

An icy touch slithered across his abdomen.

Lin Yu distinctly felt Ye Mengfu's palm flatten for one trembling second

Before curling into a tight, quivering fist that desperately retreated.

Meanwhile,

Her eyes shot daggers at the prankster: "!!!"

Mo Shangying blinked innocently, raising both hands:

"My hands are clean now!"

Truthfully, she'd only guided Ye Mengfu's initial contact.

Afterward,

It was all Ye Mengfu panicking inside Lin Yu's loose pajamas,

Bumping around like a first-timer

Fumbling for an exit.

[Ding!]

[Outstanding move! Skin contact with Joyous Sect's Talisman Mistress sends her heart racing!]

[Reward: 20 spirit stones]

[Ding!]

[Congratulations! Relationship with Talisman Mistress advances to fifth tier "Intimate Bonds"!]

[Reward: 50 spirit stones]

Hearing the system notifications,

Lin Yu marveled inwardly:

Taking Shangying as a disciple was the ultimate jackpot!

Not only did she offer herself willingly,

But also served up her "rival" and "best friend" on a silver platter.

A single move yielding multiple gains.

Before he could finish gloating, another chime sounded—

[Ding]

[Talisman Mistress possesses unique constitution!]

[Current intimacy level approaches "Soul Bonding" threshold!]

[Upon reaching sixth tier "Crimson Phoenix Awakening," may become soul-bound dao companions!]

[Issuing trial quest...]

[Talisman Artistry (Trial Quest): Seize a private moment to showcase divine brushwork, conquering the Talisman Mistress's heart completely!]

Lin Yu: "!!!"

An unexpected windfall!

Her defenseless constitution truly delivered—

Only sixth-tier requirements for soul bonding?

This revelation also clarified:

Dao companion bonding requires trial quests.

Glancing at his rebellious disciple...

Perhaps she's an exception—

A rule-breaking maverick!

The "brushwork" in the quest surely meant painting.

Lin Yu's artistic skills?

Stick-figure doodles at best.

Challenging a sect elder with toddler-level artistry?

Sheer folly.

Normally impossible...

But Lin Yu possessed a wildcard—[Ghost Hand Talisman]!

[Ghostly fingers steal heaven's secrets, replicating mastery to claim supremacy.]

With this,

He might pull off a "Murong Fu"—using her own arts against her!

"Shangying, stop teasing poor Fufu."

"Not everyone shares your... straightforward appreciation."

"She's a proper young lady—don't corrupt her!"

Lin Yu delivered the reprimand sternly,

While adding a mental footnote:

If anyone corrupts her, it'll be me.

While lecturing, he pulled up Ye Mengfu's status panel:

[Ye Mengfu]

[Age: 22]

[Sect Status: Joyous Sect Talisman Mistress]

[Host Intimacy: 55% (Tier 5 - Intimate Bonds)]

[Dao Companions (Soul/Physical): 0/0 (Unique: No Defenses)]

[Skills: Divine Brushwork, Delicate Constitution (Other data locked)]

[Current Quests:]

[Talisman Artistry (Trial): Seize private moment...]

[Purchase Spirit Powder (Daily): Sect supplies depleted. Urgently need art supplies (Buy watercolors).]

Bingo!

Divine Brushwork—that's the key!

Two Ghost Hand Talismans should suffice...
