After sending off the final lingering customer—Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong—and then driving away Qian Daoliu, who insisted on standing at the door like an overqualified door god, Feng Ran Pavilion finally closed for the night.
Lin Feng stretched lazily, yawned like a salted fish, then darted up the stairs with the vigor of a man rushing home on payday.
He leaped onto the enormous soft bed on the second floor and sank into the blankets like a corpse entering nirvana.
"System—accounting."
Ding! Today's total turnover: 575,000 gold coins.
Converted at a 10:1 ratio: Host has obtained 57,500 gourmet points.
Fifty-seven thousand five hundred.
Holy.
Lin Feng felt his entire soul sigh in satisfaction.
Sure enough—Titled Douluo really were the premium, high-yield leeks.
But once the joy passed…
A hollow emptiness washed over him.
Counting money was nice.
But after counting money…
Life was boring.
So Lin Feng lay there, legs crossed, pondering what to do with his evening.
Should he…
Conduct some employee welfare dream inspections?
Yes.
As a responsible and humane employer, he must care about his subordinates' mental health and sleep quality.
Entirely moral. Entirely justified.
Totally not voyeuristic.
Not at all.
He reached into the system space and pulled out a shimmering, rainbow-colored crystal.
Dream Dominator — Pro Max Plus Version.
Unlocked advanced functions.
Usage method: just call a name.
(An employee-care artifact.)
"Yes, yes… purely for team building. Ahem."
He cleared his throat solemnly, as if about to recite a company oath.
Now the question was—
Whose dream should he inspect tonight?
Hu Liena?
Too devoted—she'd probably be chanting "Senior is almighty" in her sleep.
Zhu Zhuqing?
Too disciplined—she'd probably be cultivating even in her dreams.
"Then… Zhuyun."
Hehehe.
This one had fireworks.
He clasped the crystal, put on a (pretend) gentlemanly expression, and whispered in his heart:
"I swear, I have no other intentions. Amen."
"Zhu Zhuyun."
One second.
Five seconds.
Ten seconds.
Nothing.
The room remained dead silent.
The mischievous grin on Lin Feng's face slowly stiffened.
…Huh?
Lag?
Server maintenance?
Did the Dream Dominator crash?
He shook the crystal violently like a cheap knockoff remote control.
Again!
Still nothing.
Lin Feng's face darkened.
"System, get over here!"
"Did you buy this thing on Pinduoduo for 9.9 with free shipping?! Why isn't it working?! I'm leaving a bad review!"
The system's robotic voice sounded—infuriatingly calm.
"Small fry host, please be aware: the target must be asleep for dream-entry to function."
"Your target is not only awake…"
"She is even struggling over which seductive nightgown to wear for her night raid on you."
Lin Feng: ???
Night…
Raid…?
Before he could process it, a translucent projection screen materialized in front of him—HD, night vision, seamless auto-focus.
The scene inside Zhu Zhuyun's room was displayed as if he were standing right there.
Lin Feng nearly choked on air.
Zhu Zhuyun's Room — A Crime Scene
The room was dark except for pale moonlight spilling through carved windows, outlining an elegant, intoxicating silhouette.
Zhu Zhuyun had just finished bathing.
Her body was loosely wrapped in a thin bath towel barely clinging to the essentials.
Wet black hair cascaded down her back, droplets sliding down her snow-white neck, vanishing into curves that defied heaven's laws.
Barefoot, she stood on the cold wooden floor—yet the fire burning in her heart made her feel no chill.
This was her chance.
Her once-in-a-lifetime shot.
Meeting Lin Feng was the greatest fortune she'd ever encountered.
The ladder to heaven stood right in front of her.
But it was surrounded by wolves.
Hu Liena—absolute loyal dog, all obedience and devotion.
Bibi Dong—a supreme big spender, pure money-power build.
One competed with loyalty.
One competed with riches.
What did she, Zhu Zhuyun, have?
She lowered her gaze toward her own… advantages.
Heh.
Right.
She could only compete with—
Service.
Outpacing them by sheer initiative!
She reached into her spirit tool and carefully pulled out a silk pouch.
Lin Feng's eyes widened.
Holy mother of—
Inside—
laid out neatly—
Her pre-prepared "decisive battle outfits."
A black lace set, thin as a cicada's wings, held together by mere strings.
A pure white set—innocent at first glance, but scandalously hollowed in key areas.
A tight, deep purple set—bold, mature, lethal.
Every piece could topple kingdoms.
Every piece could destroy empires.
Zhu Zhuyun's cheeks were flushed rose-red in the moonlight, her breath growing quicker and shallower.
Her fingertips trembled above the three outfits.
Finally—
She chose the purple one.
The most seductive, most confident, most her.
After changing, she stood before the mirror.
The woman reflected there—
Stunning curves
Mature charm
Eyes burning with ambition and desperate resolve—
Was ready to gamble everything.
She inhaled deeply.
Then, barefoot, she slipped silently into the corridor.
Toward Lin Feng's room.
Toward her future.
Each step made her heart pound harder.
She reached his door.
Her fingers touched the door panels—cold, smooth.
Just a gentle push…
and Senior would certainly notice.
But—
Her hand froze.
What if Senior thinks I'm shameless?
What if he's disgusted?
What if I overstep and get kicked out of Feng Ran Pavilion?
Her confidence wavered.
Beads of cold sweat gathered on her temple.
Hu Liena had loyalty.
Her little sister had purity.
Maybe those were what Senior liked.
Would she ruin everything by being too forward?
Her courage deflated.
Just an inch away from victory…
she withdrew her hand—
and fled back to her room like a cat caught stealing fish.
She pressed her back to her door, panting, gently comforting herself.
"No… the risk is too huge…"
"I need to raise Senior's favorability more…"
"Yes… no hurry… no need to rush…"
Back in Lin Feng's Room
Lin Feng stared at the vanished projection screen.
Expression blank.
Silence.
Then he clicked his tongue.
"Tsk."
"All show, no daring. What a pity."
