Su Yan stood outside the Sect’s female hot springs, staring at the mist-covered entrance like it was the gateway to hell.
"I can’t believe this," he muttered.
"I can," the system chirped. "And I’m loving it!"
[Mission: A Man Must Have Priorities!]
Objective: Help clean the Sect’s female hot springs. (While they’re still in use.)
Reward: ¥50,000 + ‘A Very Interesting Experience’
Penalty for Failure: Public Shaming + Indefinite Celibacy
Su Yan groaned. "This is a trap. There’s no way I’m getting out of this alive."
"Nah, you got this! Just think of it as stealth training!"
"Stealth training?! If I get caught, I’m dead!"
"Correction: If you get caught, you’re dead and broke."
Su Yan clenched his fists. Fifty thousand yuan… That’s a lot of money.
Before he could talk himself out of it, he activated Shadow Step and slipped inside.
Inside the Hot Springs
Warm steam curled through the air, carrying the scent of fresh herbs. The sound of gentle splashing and soft voices echoed through the mist.
Su Yan swallowed hard. Focus! You’re here to clean, not to die! He crouched low and moved along the edge of the rocks, reaching for the bucket and brush stashed by the entrance.
Just as he grabbed them, a voice cut through the steam.
"Huh? Is someone there?"
Su Yan froze.
A silhouette approached through the mist. His heart pounded as he recognized the shape—
It was Zhen.
Su Yan barely bit back a scream. WHY IS SHE HERE?!
"I thought I heard something," Zhen murmured, stepping into the water. Droplets ran down her toned shoulders as she sank into the steaming pool, sighing in relaxation.
"Phew, false alarm."
Su Yan pressed himself against the rock, barely daring to breathe.
The system whispered in his mind. "This is a horrible idea."
"THEN WHY DID YOU MAKE ME DO THIS?!"
"I thought it’d be funny! And guess what? It is!"
Su Yan cursed everything. He needed to get out—now.
But before he could move, a sudden wave of splashing echoed through the mist. More voices joined in.
More women were entering the springs.
Su Yan broke into a cold sweat. I am so screwed.
Escaping Certain Death
He had two options:
Wait it out and pray nobody noticed him.
Try to sneak out and risk exposing himself.
Neither was ideal.
"Alright, listen," the system whispered. "You just need to move really carefully. Use Shadow Step in short bursts and—"
Before it could finish, something warm and soft pressed against his shoulder.
Su Yan flinched.
"Huh? What’s this?" A curious hand reached toward him.
OH SH—
In a blind panic, he activated Shadow Phantom.
His afterimage shot out from the mist.
"AHH! THERE’S A MAN IN HERE!"
Screams erupted. Water splashed. Su Yan ran for his life.
"GET HIM!"
"PERVERT!"
"I CAN EXPLAIN—NO I CAN’T—AAAHHHH!"
He barely made it out in time, heart pounding as the sounds of furious sect sisters faded behind him.
The mission screen popped up.
[Mission Complete!]
Reward: ¥50,000 + ‘A Very Interesting Experience’
"That was NOT interesting! That was traumatizing!" Su Yan hissed.
"I dunno, I had a great time," the system chuckled.
Su Yan groaned. He was never listening to the system again.
…Probably.
