After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

As a Beastmen, Lulu's fuzzy ears stood erect like those of a fox, occasionally listening to the sounds around her, tilting at various angles, which looked quite amusing.

Lin Da couldn't resist it and touched Lulu's ears with his hand.

"Eek!"

Caught off guard, the vulnerable spot attacked, Lulu couldn't help but let out a cat-like adorable noise.

Lulu looked up, embarrassed, and indeed saw Lin Da's surprised expression, which made her even more embarrassed. She huffed and said,

"Who told you to touch my ears, Eye of True Knowledge... haha, more like Ultimate Pervert!"

No... maybe Lulu was also feeling shy? Lin Da thought, realizing that even though the healing had ended, she was still willing to continue the 'treatment'.

Linda wisely didn't point it out. Instead, he smiled lightly and reached out to grab Lulu's ears again.

The naughty Beastmen needed to continue the treatment!

Lulu was completely flustered, as the fuzzy ears and tail were a Werewolf's no-go zone.

In her vague memory, her parents had never touched them, but Lin Da had grabbed them mercilessly and even moved closer... to administer treatment!

At this point, Lulu's brain seemed to malfunction, her eyes glazed over, letting Lin Da take control.

"Wuu... let... let go..."

Despite Lulu's 'full-force' resistance, even thumping Lin Da's shoulders with her little fists, strangely enough, the system sent several notifications:

[Trust Level +1]

[Trust Level +1]

[Trust Level +1]

[Current Trust Level: 80 points, Bosom friends]

[Reward Obtained: Magical Jelly Set!]

[Name: Magical Jelly Set]

[Type: Item (can be used 9999999 times)]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Description: Thin as air, seemingly nonexistent yet still functions like a normal gel sleeve, an essential item for top adventurers!]

Lin Da got excited and accidentally materialized the Magical Jelly Set in his palm from his inventory. To Lulu, it looked like he was pulling something out of his Space Ring.

"What...?" Lulu, barely able to breathe, pushed Lin Da away, bewildered as she looked at the item in his hand.

Lin Da was also puzzled. A trust level of 80 had rewarded him with a gel sleeve, was the system implying something?

The quality of the gel sleeve was extraordinarily legendary.

Mysteriously, it consisted only of a white elastic band, with no corresponding 'bag', and was utterly intangible on touch.

But according to the item description, as long as you wear this band, there's no need to worry about conceiving offspring.

Lulu clearly did not understand the purpose of this item, she took it from Lin Da's palm like a curious baby and fiddled with it on her finger.

That made Lin Da quite awkward.

Should he tell Lulu the truth?

Wait, that's wrong. Maybe Lulu actually understood, was this some kind of hint?

With this thought, Lin Da perked up.

The girl's fair skin emitted a faintly alluring glow under the moonlight.

Her pink lips were so tempting that just for a moment, Lin Da couldn't remember the taste from before.

He earnestly looked into Lulu's eyes and asked, "Is it okay?"

"?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lulu was stunned for a while, staring blankly at the item in her hand and then at Lin Da's fervent gaze, before she finally realized!

She thought it was a magic item, but the reality was that it was specifically designed as a 'weapon' to target girls!?

"Of course not!"

Lulu's face turned red instantly, her tail almost bristled, and she threw it forcefully back at Lin Da: "We're just teammates, you know!"

"Really, it's not okay?" Lin Da asked.

"Anyway... today is not possible," Lulu hesitated for a moment, mumbling.

"What about tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow is also not possible! We are teammates, after all!"

"If it were Tasya, she probably would agree," Lin Da remarked with a sigh and then received a system notification of Trust Points -1.

"Hmph, then you go find her," Lulu coldly retorted, her arms crossed as she sat to the far right, seemingly upset.

"Uh, sorry."

Lin Da realized that some jokes should not be made.

Although a witch's trust level is not the same as fondness, it is conceivable that a high trust necessarily corresponds to high fondness for those trusted.

"Are you planning to invite Tasya to join the Phoenix Tail Flower Team?" With Lin Da's apology, Lulu's expression relaxed, and she gently asked.

The matter was serious, and Lin Da nodded earnestly in agreement.

He and Lulu had made a pact.

To find those missing teammates and once again climb to the top of the World Tree together.

"Silly captain," Lulu pursed her lips, fully aware that Lin Da would always act this way, yet she couldn't help but want to stay in the Phoenix Tail Flower Team.

If Lin Da truly gave up on all other teammates, that version of Lin Da wouldn't be the one she respected.

"There are many teammates, stronger than us," Lulu looked at the sleeping Monica and whispered, "Will you forget about us?" Discover hidden tales at empire

Just like the last time.

Lin Da knew what Lulu was referring to. The version of himself who had drawn a five-star card and unhesitatingly discarded the four-star cards.

"This time, absolutely not."

Lin Da said with determination.

"Hmph, I hope so."

For the first time, Lulu bit her lip, and extended her pale arm to embrace Lin Da's head.

[Trust Points +1+1+1+1...]

[Current Trust Points: 83]

...

Returning to the villa, Lin Da and Lulu took the other two, who were asleep, back to their rooms.

Then, the two of them started inventorying the gains from the Monster Tide in the third-floor hall.

Lulu watched Lin Da with a tender expression as he removed various materials from the space ring, feeling a deep sense of trust.

Each of these materials was very valuable, forming the foundation of the Phoenix Tail Flower Team.

For Lin Da to ask her to help count them, if not trust, then what?

Compared to Monica and Kafni, she was undoubtedly a step ahead.

The materials were piled up throughout the room.

The three most conspicuous items were:

Four pairs of claws from the Black Shell Crab General, which could be crafted into two orange weapons.

The carcass of the Red Armored Crab King, valued around 600,000 gold.

The claws of the Red Armored Crab King, which could be crafted into two exceptional orange jewelry pieces with set attributes.

"Sorry," Lulu suddenly gripped her fists in self-reproach, saying, "I couldn't be of help to the team during the Monster Tide."

Considering the numerous valuable materials, it was clear the Phoenix Tail Flower had encountered a fierce battle.

But she, due to carrying a certain mission and the fear of exposing her identity as a witch, had not been able to join the Phoenix Tail Flower in battle.

"Stopping Tasya? You did well with that." Lin Da ruffled Lulu's hair gently. "Don't worry about the exposure of your identity; with another week of treatment, unless encountered by very high-level adventurers, no one will be able to detect your witch identity."

Lin Da said earnestly, "If you are feeling guilty for not contributing to the team, you needn't. On the fifth layer of the Great Mystery Continent, there is a nest of an epic level demon creature; your help as a Frost Wolf Warrior will be crucial then."
