"Mr. Chen, about yesterday, I have yet to thank you... Thank you for saving my life."
Although she felt extremely embarrassed, if it weren’t for Chen Mo, she probably would have been frozen to death by the Chill Toxin.
"It’s alright."
Chen Mo took out five Fire Talismans from his bosom and handed them to her, saying, "I only have these many on hand. When we return to Tiandu City, I’ll ask the Demon Suppression Department to draw some more, just to be prepared."
Lin Jingzhu took them and couldn’t help but remember last night.
Though these talismans were useful, each could only last two hours, far less comforting and warm compared to Mr. Chen’s embrace, where the warmth was endless...
Chen Mo looked at the steam rising from her head and puzzledly said, "Lin Catcher, you are smoking..."
?!
Lin Jingzhu snapped back to reality and hastily turned to run away, with the smoke trailing behind her in a long line.
"Thank, thank you for the Hand Warmer, Sir!"
"..."
Chen Mo shook his head.
What a human smoke bomb...
Suddenly, the text flashed before his eyes:
["Lin Jingzhu" Favorability Rating increased.]
[Current progress: 30/100 (Regretting Meeting Late).]
[Favorability Rating has reached the threshold, first-stage reward unlocked.]
[Received special item: Dao Essence Crystal.]
?
Chen Mo couldn’t help but fall into thought.
Could it be that I really am a genius at strategizing?
These main characters, why are they all high offense but low defense...
But if the Busty Empress found out that he and Lin Jingzhu slept together, and that he caught Little Grapefruit, she’d probably chop off his little head...
"Pinching butts, not my intention, catching the Grapefruit, also not my intention!"
...
a.m., the sun was shining brightly.
Chen Mo walked downstairs to the front hall.
The members from the Demon Suppression Department were already waiting there and stood up to salute him upon his arrival.
"Mr. Chen."
"Greetings Mr. Chen."
Although they had been waiting for a long time, no one showed the slightest impatience, their eyes filled with awe and admiration.
"We thank Mr. Chen for saving our lives!"
The four members deeply bowed to Chen Mo.
They had already heard of everything that happened from others.
If it weren’t for Chen Mo risking his life to save them, they would have already become nutrients for the Demon Tree, and their gratitude was beyond words.
Chen Mo shook his head, saying, "It was just a little effort, no need to dwell on it."
After all, the biggest beneficiary of this mission was himself...
The members from the Demon Suppression Department were anxious to return to the Capital City to report, so after greeting Chen Mo, they took the injured and left first.
Chen Mo and Lin Jingzhu leisurely had their breakfast.
This time Lin Jingzhu didn’t drink any alcohol, but her cheeks remained rosy, and she kept her gaze afloat, not daring to look at him.
After they had their fill, the two walked out of the inn and bumped right into a Daoist Nun.
