After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Since Dawen had already spoken, Lina could only reluctantly whimper and obediently lower her head.

The members on either side raised no further objections.

"By the way, where is Lin Da?"

Gale suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Lin Da since the beginning.

Everyone looked around and then noticed that where Lin Da had been standing, there was a trail of departing footprints.

After killing the Thousand-Change Demon, Lin Da had not coveted the spoils of war but had silently left, concealing his achievements and fame.

Even Lina, who had disagreed with giving the Demon Core to Lin Da, felt a bit guilty now.

It was like jokingly saying someone had no father, only to realize that person indeed didn't have one, making her feel guilty even in the middle of the night. Lina thought it over carefully. An adventurer under level 20 had taken great risks just to warn them, hadn't asked for any spoils, and had quietly left, yet she had felt Lin Da didn't deserve the Demon Core...

Lina felt that she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

After thinking for a moment, Dawen said, "I'll deliver it to him, and I have some things to tell Lin Da."

Abner nodded, "The White Dove Adventure Group still needs to investigate the depths of the Qingfeng River."

They needed to figure out where the Monster Tide was coming from.

...

...

About 5000 meters away from the Breeze River Beach, on a small hill.

"Let go of me, my body belongs to my master; how can you, this dirty bug, touch me!"

Tasya gasped, her eyes filled with unbearable pain.

In the fight with Lulu, her Battle Qi had been depleted too much, leading to pollution backlash, almost robbing her of all combat ability.

The result was that Lulu had thoroughly tied her up and brought her before Lin Da.

Lulu's tying method was meticulous, binding Tasya's hands behind her back, spreading her calves so she couldn't exert force, and considering Tasya's incomplete figure, avoided tying the front of the chest, tightly binding her arms instead.

This resulted in a prominent protrusion, as if intentionally made so.

Lin Da and the others watched Tasya with strange expressions, feeling somewhat awkward, not knowing where to look.

"To save or not to save, you choose."

Lulu said coldly.

In the 'bragging battle', she was slightly inferior, as Tasya knew too much.

But as Tasya's pollution acted up midway, it was like a skilled female adventurer discussing passionately at an emergency meeting and suddenly needed to urinate, barely able to stand, trembling with humiliation, with no place around to relieve herself...

With pollution, one could only endure as it wasn't something she could simply expel, like urine.

In contrast, Lulu had her internal pollution controlled by Lin Da; even if it accumulated, Lin Da could help her expel it.

It was like a robust, young witch fighting an aged one.

Lulu leveraged her physical advantage to win!

But this Werewolf Clan girl was ultimately tender-hearted, unable to bear finishing Tasya off. With the level of pollution inside Tasya, in at most one year, she would degenerate into a Catastrophe Beast that only knew slaughter.

Being of the same witch origin, Lulu could understand the pain Tasya was experiencing.

She tied Tasya up and brought her to Lin Da.

Her heart was in turmoil; she hoped Lin Da would save Tasya, who was also a witch, yet she did not want them to have close contact.

Afflicted with indecision, Lulu left the decision to Lin Da.

...

"This is a big trouble now," Lin Da said.

As he looked down at Tasya, who was tightly bound on the ground, the rope tightly constricting the soft flesh of her thighs,

he had an illusion as if this were the setting of an unhealthy filming site.

Tasya's expression was no different from a knight captured by the 'Goblin Squad' of Phoenix Tail Flower, her face bearing the torment of disgrace.

He was either to kill the female knight or be killed by her, finding himself in such an awkward situation.

Once the rope was released, Tasya would probably fight Phoenix Tail Flower to the death.

"Gulp!"

Tasya was kicked in the stomach by Lulu, her face turning pale, her red lips parted, expelling a bit of acidic water.

"As the maid of a master, to be insulted by you bugs... I, Tasya, do not deserve to live!"

Having said that, she even attempted to bite her own tongue to commit suicide.

Tasya's loyalty made everyone look sideways, and Lin Da grew even more troubled about how to tell her the truth.

Lulu was quick, striking Tasya on the neck with her palm, knocking out the hard-headed woman.

"What should we do?" asked Lulu.

Facing this unconscious, unresisting silver-haired maid, Lin Da fell into contemplation.

The pattern on her thigh-high stockings was also identical to the one in the game.

The transition from game to reality was too realistic.

Lin Da thought.

No, now was not the time to consider patterns.

Ultimately, the reason for this situation was unclear; who exactly was the 'master' Tasya was loyal to? The game character 'Dark Shadow', or the player controlling 'Dark Shadow'?

In a Galgame Lin Da had played, there was a similar plot: the main character with pink hair liked the game character, but the main character with long black hair liked the player controlling the game character.

Combining Tasya's personal storyline in the game, Lin Da speculated that Tasya was loyal to the one who could defeat her 99 times, probably the Primal Team Leader.

The Dark Shadow in Tasya's heart was overly idealized, rather than a person, it was more like the faith she followed.

Perhaps one day, when Lin Da could defeat Tasya like the Dark Shadow did, this maid might believe that he truly was the master she was looking for.

But without sufficient strength before, even if he presented evidence that he was the Dark Shadow, Tasya would have doubted him.

Of course, there was another possibility: Tasya was so deeply ingrained in her mind that even if Dark Shadow weakened, knowing Lin Da's true identity, she would still remain loyal and continue to serve.

However, Lin Da hoped to attract team members to join by using his true identity, strength, and personal charisma, rather than using the old team leader's alias, Dark Shadow, to bind members to him.

Just like when Lulu joined the team, Lulu acknowledged him as the Phoenix Tail Flower Team leader before joining.

Lin Da also hoped that including Tasya, all other Four-Star Character members joined because they loved him, Lin Da, and the Phoenix Tail Flower Team, not because of Dark Shadow.

Not because of Dark Shadow.

Today, as an adventurer who had reformed and loved life, he would use his own hands to help Tasya and other Four-Star Characters onto the right path.

This was Lin Da's redemption.

All Four-Star Character members could go to his villa and live there for free.

"Lulu."

"Monica."

"Kafni."

"Could you form a 'human tent' to block the view for me? There's no time to lose, I need to heal Tasya."

Lin Da's expression turned solemn as he reached out and touched Tasya's forehead, finding it hotter than boiling water.

After falling into a coma, Tasya's resistance further weakened, breathing heavily like a broken bellows, her chest spasming from time to time.

This sight was frightening as if Tasya would collapse at any moment!

"Wait, what's a human tent?" Kafni asked, perplexed.

"It's just you all standing back-to-back, holding hands, so even if someone comes by, they won't notice what I'm doing," Lin Da explained earnestly.

Kafni gave an okay, thinking the method was passable.

But Lulu and Monica weren't willing!

The captain was conducting a dicey treatment, and they had to help block people... How was that different from being cheated?

Lulu occasionally read some adult comic books about Minotaurs, but that didn't mean she liked being cheated! Especially by such a formidable enemy as Tasya!

"Hurry up, Tasya's condition is getting worse," Lin Da said, his mind on Tasya, not noticing the unusual behavior of his teammates.

The system popped a notification:

[Recognizing Witch Tasya's presence, would you like to bind?]

[Witch Lulu trust level -1, current trust level 74]

A question mark appeared in Lin Da's mind.

What had he done that caused Lulu to lower her favorability?

Perhaps it was killing too many Murderous Crabs, becoming stinkingly stinky...

He could not focus on these trivial details now, Lin Da silently commanded: "Bind!"

[Witch Tasya, bound successfully!]

[Current trust level: 99 (Sealed)]

[Note: When Tasya acknowledges you as 'master,' 99 points of trust level will unlock, along with the rewards from 0-99 trust level]

"Tss."

Lin Da inhaled sharply.

Kicking Tasya out of the team and disappearing for three years, and yet the trust level hadn't dropped at all.

What a terrifyingly persistent woman!

Lin Da sighed with mixed emotions. He supported Tasya's back with his left hand and cushioned her head with his right, slowly leaning closer.

The pleasant scent of jasmine wafted from her body.

Lin Da's heart rate inevitably quickened somewhat.

Tasya's skin was translucent and smooth, a healthy wheat-brown color. With silver hair, closed eyes, and silenced words, she looked as beautiful as a game CG.

Her thin lips were moist and glossy, as if touched by some lipstick, tempting one to taste them.

"Lord captain, nooo," Monica clutched at his shirt from behind.

Enjoy new tales from empire

Lulu also looked at him with a hesitating, conflicted expression.

"What are you guys doing?" Lin Da laughed and cried, only Kafni had become the human tent, helping to block the view.

But this comment caught Lulu off guard.

Lulu, a young girl with her hands in her pockets, deliberately acted nonchalant, but her fingers, hidden in her pockets, involuntarily clenched tightly.

They were just teammates.

As a team member, what reason did she have to stop Lin Da from performing the dicey treatment?

If Lin Da kissed Tasya, it seemingly had nothing to do with her, Lulu!

It was like when a Beastman paid to play with an Elf Miss, and a team member suddenly jumped out saying, "You can't do this with her!"

Not doing it with her, then shall he do it with you?

Wouldn't that imply that she was actually longing for Lin Da's treatment, like a little roasted chicken craving attention?Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Lulu's face flushed red immediately.

For all practical purposes, stopping Lin Da's dicey treatment equaled admitting she was a little roasted chicken!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Suddenly, Tasya, who was unconscious, coughed violently, and dark blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, landing on the ground.

The nearby soil and pebbles hissed, corroding into debris!

Tasya's contamination was exceptionally dark.

The corrosive power was also strong.
