Lin Feng sprawled onto his bed in the classic "wood" pose, basking in the glow of the day's skyrocketing points. He was just about to drift into blissful fantasies of opening the System Mall when—
[Small-fry host, are you done celebrating?]
The system's voice slammed into his mind like a bucket of cold water.
[If you're done celebrating, it's time to recruit an Employee.]
Lin Feng's smile froze.
This damned dog system… every word it said was technically "for his own good," yet somehow everything sounded infuriating when coming from its mouth.
But since this was about recruiting cheap labor—
cough, no—an "excellent Employee," he let the tone slide.
"Do it! Immediately! Right now! Recruit someone!"
His voice was practically trembling with the hunger of a capitalist who smelled free labor.
[Understood.]
For once, the system's cold mechanical tone carried a hint of… amusement?
[Based on the host's taste and the Pavilion's atmosphere, this system has selected an extremely suitable 'waitress' candidate.]
"Oh? Who?"
Lin Feng sat up, curiosity ignited.
A light screen unfolded before him.
The image on it—
Hu.
Li.
NA.
The Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall.
But that wasn't what made Lin Feng's eyes nearly pop out.
It was… what she was wearing.
Hu Liena was in her room, clearly preparing to sleep.
A pink silk nightgown clung to her curves, thin as a cicada's wing.
Her orange-red hair was still damp from a bath, falling loosely against her fair neck.
Her silhouette beneath the silk was fatal.
Lin Feng stared.
Then stared more.
Then stared even more, with the rigorous scrutiny of a top-tier academic researcher.
Hmm.
The places that should be large were indeed very large.
The places that should be curvy—cough—excellent.
After completing his "professional evaluation," he asked seriously:
"You're telling me the candidate you picked is… Hu Liena? The same Hu Liena who just had dinner at my shop?!"
Wouldn't he be poaching Bibi Dong's Holy Maiden?
The thought made his breath catch.
[Correct.]
The system's tone carried faint demonic amusement.
[This leek seed has extremely high initial admiration and loyalty toward the Host. Her temperament, talent, figure, appearance, and aura are all top-tier.]
Lin Feng subconsciously looked at the screen again.
Those curves.
That skin.
That faintly visible scenery…
A top-tier choice indeed.
"The most crucial point…"
The system's voice dropped to a deliciously evil whisper.
[She is very cheap.]
BOOM!!!
Two words.
A god-level temptation.
Lin Feng's eyes turned blood-red with capitalist fervor.
Poaching?
No—nonsense!
He wasn't poaching!
He was offering a lost lamb the supreme opportunity to follow a divine senior and realize her life's worth!
What Holy Maiden?
What Saintess?
Illusions!
Serving dishes in his Feng Ran Pavilion—
now THAT was true glory!
His lips curved into the smile of a devil who found the ultimate bargain.
"Host, confirm recruitment? The invitation will be delivered as a 'Divine Revelation.' The target has the right to refuse."
Lin Feng looked at the numbers again.
Monthly salary: 2,000 points.
Two.
Thousand.
For a future Holy Maiden, whose talent, beauty, charm, and loyalty were all maxed?
The cost-effectiveness was simply criminal.
He slapped the bed.
"Do it! She's the one!"
[Recruitment invitation—sent.]
**At the Same Time
Spirit Hall — Hu Liena's Chambers**
Moonlight spilled across the room.
Hu Liena sat cross-legged on her soft bed, trying to meditate and consolidate the benefits gained from the senior today.
But no matter how she focused, her mind was filled with images of dishes. Aromas she had tasted only once yet felt carved into her soul.
"…Sigh."
Giving up, she flopped onto the bed like a lazy cat, arms and legs spread loosely.
Her silk nightgown traced her enchanting curves.
Her long, snow-white legs overlapped casually, a fatal sight even to herself.
"Ever since I tasted the senior's cooking… everything else tastes bland…"
Her voice was soft, filled with yearning she didn't even realize she had.
"If only I could stay by his side every day… even just to breathe the air in that place…"
Even…
Even if she couldn't draw a prize, that was fine too…
Just as the thought formed—
A voice descended directly into her soul.
Majestic.
Ethereal.
Neither male nor female.
Ancient, yet impossibly close.
"Young maiden~ do you wish to follow in the footsteps of a god?"
BOOM!!!
Hu Liena shot up as if struck by lightning.
Her vigilance exploded.
Spirit power surged.
"Who?!"
This was the heart of Spirit City—
the safest place on the continent!
How could someone invade her soul undetected?!
Just as she prepared to alert the entire Spirit Hall—
The voice came again.
Still distant.
Still divine.
Still crushing.
"Do not panic."
"I am the will of Feng Ran Pavilion."
BOOM!
The moment those three words echoed, all of Hu Liena's panic shattered like brittle glass.
Her eyes widened.
Her breathing trembled.
Senior.
It was—
the senior's oracle.
"S-Senior!"
Hu Liena dropped to the floor instantly, prostrating with the devotion of a believer facing a god.
Her thin nightgown didn't even register in her mind.
"I—Junior—what command does the Senior have for me?!"
The divine voice resounded through her soul.
"The opportunity has come."
"Hu Liena."
"Are you willing to cast aside worldly glory, become an apostle of God, serve within Feng Ran Pavilion, and forever bask in divine grace?"
Her heart stopped.
Her soul shook.
Her entire being ignited in holy fire.
The senior…
wanted her…
to serve beside him every day?
This was no recruitment.
This was salvation.
