Tearing Off the Mask of the Master, Lin Feng's Awakening!
For a moment, Lin Feng felt as if he had been sealed away.
On the left, Bibi Dong's mature and gentle breath was like that of an orchid or a musk deer.
To his right, Hu Liena's alluring sweet scent, mingled with the warmth of a young girl, clung tightly to his arm.
In his arms, he felt Zhu Zhuyun's breathtaking softness, carrying a wild yet gentle feline scent, holding him tightly.
Behind her, a stubborn force came from the hem of her clothes. Although Zhu Zhuqing was silent, her undeniable presence was more resolute than any words.
Four distinct and exquisite fragrances form an inescapable olfactory prison.
Lin Feng's brain, for the first time ever, went into a state of malfunction.
He could clearly feel the invisible electric light colliding violently in the surrounding air.
Four pairs of gazes, some alluring, some majestic, some gentle, and some aloof, were all focused on him at this moment, like four invisible swords, ready to utterly sever him.
What the Asura is this?!
Just as Lin Feng's CPU was about to burn out, a familiar mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
[Ding! The system has detected that the host is in a "sweet dilemma" state. The system has activated the "Harem Choice" assistance mode.]
Lin Feng's eyelids twitched.
When did your Dog System start having this kind of mode?!
[Option A: Choose Pope Bibi Dong. Mature and dignified, with unparalleled power, you can experience the ultimate thrill of conquest.]
[Option B: Choose Holy Maiden Hu Liena. Alluring and captivating, she unlocks various... cough, various interactive modes.]
[Option C: Choose Zhu Zhuyun. A voluptuous woman with an untamed spirit, a loyal maid who will fulfill all your fantasies.]
[Option D: Choose Zhu Zhuqing. She is aloof yet passionate, cold on the outside but warm on the inside; every close encounter will melt her iceberg, bringing an overwhelming sense of accomplishment.]
[Option E: Only children make choices; adults want it all! Tonight, Maple Dye Pavilion will stage an unprecedented silver...]
"Shut up!"
Lin Feng let out a helpless roar in his heart.
"Damn it! What kind of crappy system is this?! Let me tell you, I, Lin Feng, make a living with my skills and acting!"
Lin Feng angrily denounced in his mind with righteous indignation.
"If I really did get together with them... what would happen to the image of a detached, indifferent, and powerful person I've cultivated for so long? Would I even care about maintaining my public persona?!"
[Laugh.]
The system emitted an electronic voice filled with disdain and contempt.
[Character design?]
[Host, please allow this system to kindly remind you that your acting is so clumsy it's practically disastrous; it wouldn't even fool a three-year-old.]
[If it weren't for you bunch of 'leeks' blinded by food, who desperately tried to smooth things over and cover for you when you were furious, cursing, and slapping the Beast God Di Tian like a grandson...]
[In their eyes right now, you're just a powerful but short-tempered, foul-mouthed village brute.]
[Where do you get the nerve to mention the word 'persona' to this system?]
"..."
Lin Feng choked.
Every word struck his fragile pride with deadly precision.
He opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.
Because... what this Dog System said was absolutely true!
I did break down at that moment, and it was Qian Daoliu and the others who managed to twist my loss of composure into an expression of "unfathomable divine majesty."
Thinking about this, Lin Feng felt his face burning even hotter than when he was surrounded by four women.
It's over.
The persona never seemed to hold up from the start.
Seeing Lin Feng fall completely silent, the system seemed to think that the damage wasn't enough, and slowly added another blow.
[Besides, what's wrong with having a few women around me?]
[Host, do you seem to have some misunderstanding about the concept of "God"?]
[Gods are nothing more than beings with greater power.]
Even gods have emotions and desires.
[It could even be said that desire is the root cause driving all living beings to continuously grow stronger.]
[Like you, host, you clearly want it to the point of despair, but on the surface you insist on putting on a perfectly virtuous facade...]
This system has only been observed in one species.
[Peacock.]
[And it's a male peacock that's eager to display its plumage but afraid of having its rear end seen.]
"Holy crap!"
Lin Feng was completely broken down.
I've never suffered such injustice in my life!
He felt as if his personality had been pinned to the ground by this sarcastic system, and rubbed back and forth a hundred times with the sole of a shoe!
However.
Criticism is one thing.
The system's statement, "Even gods have emotions and desires," took root in his heart like a seed.
Yes...
I think I really don't need to set such rigid rules and regulations.
You're already in the Douluo Continent, so why not enjoy yourself? What's wrong with that?
He was enlightened; his mind was suddenly clear.
The system is right to criticize!
In his past life, he worked himself to the bone as a chef. In this life, he finally got a system, a cheat code, and became invincible.
As a result, they are still obsessed with the image of a wise person and the demeanor of a strong person.
Who are they putting on this for?
A persona? Can a persona put food on the table?
Can I exchange it for Gourmet Points?
Cannot!
Having figured this out, Lin Feng felt his mind clear and refreshed, as if he had broken free from some invisible shackles.
He has always confined himself to the framework of being a "superior person".
Be languid, be mysterious, be nonchalant.
They were afraid that a single wrong word or a wrong expression would ruin the image they had painstakingly cultivated.
But he only realized what was happening after being scolded by the system.
What a load of rubbish!
He is now the master of the Maple Dye Pavilion, a god whose words become law within this absolute domain!
Laugh when you want to laugh, curse when you want to curse, enjoy yourself when you want to enjoy yourself!
This is the life a god should live!
This is the life he was meant to have after transmigrating!
His gaze changed as he looked at the four women clinging to him.
That's no longer about dealing with four annoying troublemakers.
It's no longer about watching four walking, potentially explosive devices.
That look in his eyes was like that of an old farmer who had worked hard all his life and finally figured it out, deciding to stop guarding his small plot of land and instead go explore his vast and fertile pasture.
The cattle and sheep on the pasture may each have their own temperament, but ultimately... they are all family property.
Thoughts are clear and open.
Lin Feng let out a long sigh of relief.
This tone wasn't one of frustration or helplessness.
It was an unprecedented level of relaxation.
The four women clinging to him sensed this change almost simultaneously.
His aura seemed unchanged, yet something about him felt completely different.
"Oh?"
Lin Feng smiled.
This smile was completely different from her previous languid and indifferent demeanor.
His deep eyes were no longer calm and still.
Instead, it carried a hint of obvious mockery, a sense of complete control, and... a touch of undisguised aggression.
At that moment, his gaze was like a pool of spring water tossed with a pebble, rippling outwards and making the hearts of all four women skip a beat.
Want some grilled skewers?
Lin Feng's voice remained languid, but the ending note rose slightly, carrying a hook.
He raised his hand and pinched Zhu Zhuyun's chin, his fingertips gently caressing her smooth skin, causing her to shudder.
Then, he withdrew his hand and put his arm around Bibi Dong and Hu Liena's waist.
The slight tightening force caused both women to tremble slightly.
Lin Feng's gaze slowly swept over the pretty little face.
Then he asked the question that made the air thick with tension.
"Then... what will you offer in exchange?"
