After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Chapter 574: 427, ‘Watch closely, Lia,…. this is how it’s done
 

The battle of the Forest Dragon in the Great Mystery Continent yielded nothing for the Holy Rock Adventure Team, and Rocher even sustained injuries to his magic circuit.

Facing a body that deteriorated more with each passing day, Rocher might make an irrational decision.

Lin Da discerned the implied meaning in Bervis’s words.

Lin Da said solemnly, “Understood, only the strength held in one’s hands is real.”

In every inch of the Mystic Realm, countless lost souls lingered, and even outstanding figures could fall.

Only when the Phoenix Tail Flower reached the Sunrise Level would it be treated equally by the major adventure teams.

“One month is enough. By then, I will visit personally and make your guild leader agree to forge an Oath with Aiko,” said Lin Da.

Bervis’s eyes gleamed, “With your words, I am relieved.”

Meanwhile, Aiko saw Lin Da and Bervis getting along well and laughing together, a slight dimple appearing on her face.

But thinking of her hot-tempered father, Aiko’s expression soured considerably. If possible, she wanted to wait until Rocher was too old to walk before taking Lin Da back to “acknowledge her family.”

At that moment, someone poked her shoulder.

Turning her head, she saw the anxious-faced Lia.

Lia asked, “You’re not planning to leave Snow Goose, are you?”

Aiko sighed and replied, “Although I’d like to do that, I cannot let go of you all. Who made you need me so much, alas~ I am really at a loss with you all.”

After boasting a bit, Aiko laughed and said, “Wait until Snow Goose becomes a top adventure team, then I’ll head to the Phoenix Tail Flower. Lia, you better thank me properly.”

“Hmmph, I feel quite annoyed!”

“Don’t be annoyed just yet,” Aiko raised the corners of her mouth. “The more irritating part hasn’t started.”

The scene at the Swan Amusement Park was always etched in Aiko’s mind.

Lia had publicly rushed towards Lin Da and bitten his lip.

Falling behind Lia was the greatest shame of Aiko’s life!

“You, turn around,” Aiko commanded Bervis with a stern face.

Bervis asked, “Wha…”

“No more questions, hurry up!”

If her childhood brother saw, Aiko felt it would be quite embarrassing.

Bervis rolled his eyes and faced the wall of the carriage.

“What are you planning to do?” Lia’s heart tightened, a bad premonition forming.

Aiko, with her hands behind her back, bounced up to Lin Da.

A pleasant fragrance wafted over.

Lin Da looked down at Aiko’s fair cheeks and rosy lips, his throat dry, unconsciously swallowing.

Aiko used to like wearing scant sleepwear to tease him.

With a hint of shyness in her eyes, Aiko tiptoed, her tender hands wrapping around his neck.

Her hands were smooth and soft, akin to the afternoon sun caressing the face. Lin Da’s tired body gradually relaxed under the touch of these small hands, a wave of drowsiness enveloping his brain.

He nostalgically recalled an afternoon a year ago, on a park bench, where he had dozed off comfortably resting against Aiko’s nylon-clad shapely legs.

From now on, this beautiful blonde girl would also be his Oath-bound, and he could enjoy her lap pillow anytime he wished.

A deep sense of pride rose in Lin Da’s heart.

Even if only for them, he had to draw the hero’s sword and defeat the Demon King.

“Lia, watch carefully,”

With her lips curled, Aiko spoke to the stunned redhead girl behind her, “Taking an O is done like this.”

Just as Lin Da’s spirits surged, imagining a happy life with everyone.

The “happiness” before him came all too abruptly.

…

As if all the honey on the continent converged, melting in Lin Da’s mouth.

A traveler in the desert, thirsty for days, would feel just the same upon finding a celestial drink.

The bee named “Lin Da” stayed there, diligently collecting honey.

The two of them were so lost in each other that the surroundings fell completely silent.

With a fierce grip, Klyne grabbed Oru’s ear, “What are you looking at!”

Oru retorted, “I wasn’t looking…”

Klrona excitedly pointed at Aiko and Lin Da, “This is like the last scene from ‘Brave Fight Against the Dragon,’ where the princess is rescued, Lia, look quick!”

“So annoying!” Lia kicked a small stone on the ground away in frustration and embarrassment.

Staring at the two huddled together, Lia’s chest heaved wildly, almost as if she wanted to grind her teeth to dust.

“I shouldn’t have called Aiko back; you should just go back to South Rock City.”

Lia turned and walked toward White Dove City, each of her steps forceful, her short boots imprinting deep marks on the ground.

Watch carefully, this is how to do it…

Aiko’s infuriating voice continued to linger in her ears.

Out of respect for the captain’s authority, she couldn’t get back at Aiko.

Originally she had driven away Lin Da, but now Lin Da was stronger than her, and it was quite embarrassing.

If she were to admit she had secret feelings for Lin Da, she might as well let herself be smothered to death by a slime over her head.

On one hand, Lia felt stifled; on the other, she cared greatly about her image.

This made her furious beyond measure, yet unable to lash out at Aiko.

If she attacked Aiko, it would confirm a certain matter.

“Waaaaah!” Lia kicked away a couple of dung beetles in her path, screaming internally, No, that’s totally wrong. It should be Lin Da who craves someone beautiful and sweet-voiced like her. She has absolutely no interest in Lin Da!

Damn it, Aiko’s smell is probably both salty and stinky, not even half as good as her strawberry cake!

Lia figured, she needed to find a priest skilled in healing eyes for Lin Da, how could he fall for a woman with just fat on her chest like Aiko.

“Captain, you’re walking too fast!”

Oru, Klyne, and Phyllis hurried after her.

Klrona, on the other hand, pulled out some potato chips and stayed where she was, watching with relish.

Because she was a child, Tasya bestowed Klorona with no competitive edge and allowed her to stay behind.

“Master, I’ve never had this much time alone with him…” Tasya watched Aiko enviously.

Two minutes passed, and they were still at it.

Lin Da was completely oblivious, immersed in bliss, unable to extricate himself.

He wanted to taste more of Aiko’s flavor and also to punish this cunning blonde girl.

During the Snow Goose Era, he had accidentally seen those compromising scenes; Aiko had purposely let him see them, and even wrote a 300-word commentary on his awkward expression in her diary.

Back then, Lin Da, young and vigorous, struggled to resist Aiko’s teasing. But now, as Provisional Swearers, he wouldn’t be as polite as before.

His hands, without any hesitation, wrapped around Aiko’s waist like a bear manhandling its prey,

“Wait…”

Aiko gasped in surprise, her eyes opening wide.

Before she could resist, Lin Da silenced her once more.

“Wow, that’s thrilling.”

Klrona sped up her chip-eating, her eyes unblinkingly fixed on the two.

This was a side of Aiko she had never seen before.

Soft, as if boneless, and irresistibly charming.

“It’s like Monica said, being with Lin Da… feels so comfortable.”

Klrona licked the chip crumbs off her fingers, full of curiosity.

Yet, as she was still underage, Monica said she would tell her the details when she came of age.
