After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Lin Da shook his head, "The one I'm wearing now is pretty good."

Lulu's face turned red immediately, "Then... unless you give me yours too."

Keep in mind, werewolves have the most sensitive noses and their favorite thing is scent.

Lulu hoped to fall asleep every night with the scent of Lin Da beside her, and it certainly wasn't because she had any improper intentions!

Lin Da said, "I'll give it to you after I've washed it..."

"Then the scent will be gone."

Lulu, without thinking, let her mouth slip.

She awkwardly tucked her big tail into her crotch.

The elder brother doesn't laugh at the younger.

Lin Da and Lulu exchanged their underwear.

After Lin Da left,

Lulu held the black boxers in her hands, her deep blue eyes turning into dazed circles.

Such a strong scent of Lin Da.

Just holding them, she felt as if Lin Da were whispering beside her.

It was more than Lulu could stand!

'It's not that I'm perverted, it's just that my head is itchy,' she thought to herself.

Lulu faced the mirror, put Lin Da's boxers on her head like a nightcap.

Her fluffy ears poked through the two leg openings.

It really looked like a hat.

Alone in her room, Lulu began to giggle foolishly.

She snuggled into her blankets, 'nightcap' on her head, clutching the werewolf doll that Monica had given her, and drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

That night, Lulu had a worry-free, high-quality, deep sleep like a baby.

...

The next morning came.

The morning light pierced through the white curtains and fell on Lin Da's face.

It was only 7 a.m.; it wouldn't hurt to sleep a little longer.

He thought so, but a certain maid didn't seem to plan on letting his lazy self off the hook.

"Master, it's time for breakfast, and the team members are waiting downstairs," Tasya's respectful voice came through.

Lin Da sighed lightly, got dressed, and freshened up.

Tasya took the opportunity to enter the room and tidy up. Seeing the bedsheets that Lin Da had changed, she paused for a moment, a playful smile forming at the corner of her mouth.

Indeed, even the mighty Lin Da was still a man.

In the living room on the first floor, everyone was seated in their usual spots.

The breakfast consisted of milk mushroom soup with small bread pieces and a fruit salad.

The nutritional balance was excellent, worthy of a professional maid.

Lin Da nodded inwardly.

Kafni also appeared at the breakfast table, yawning lethargically and rubbing her eyes, "Using that move really exhausted me, feels more tiring than doing push-ups ten times in a day."

Her outrageous words stunned everyone.

Lin Da sipped his mushroom soup and almost spat it out.

"What are you looking at? Everyone gets rewarded, right?" Kafni huffed with some self-satisfaction, "To maintain a healthy physical state, rewards are normal behavior."

No—aren't you just unable to control your right hand? Lin Da weirdly thought to himself; Kafni is enjoying being a girl too much.

Everyone mumbled, not daring to meet Kafni's challenging gaze, and just kept their heads down to eat.

After breakfast, Lin Da announced the day's agenda for the Phoenix Tail Flower Team.

To clear the ninth level and become a Rock Level adventure team!

A moment later, they arrived at the Secret Realm Square.

The square was bustling with activity in the morning.

There were vendors selling breakfast, stalls with magical equipment, all kinds of materials for sale, and merchants setting up booths to shout about their 30% off sales through magic conches.

It was livelier than a food market.

As the celebrated names of White Dove City, the Phoenix Tail Flower Team drew a lot of attention.

"Wow, it's the Eye of True Knowledge, Lin Da. So handsome."

"Lulu and Kafni don't seem to be here. Are they going to challenge the Mystic Realm with just the two of them?"

"As expected of the Phoenix Tail Flower Team, we feel like we're lacking even with eight people on our side."

Today, Lin Da only had Monica as a teammate beside him.

He held Monica's trembling hand and strode through the crowd.

Wherever they passed, adventurers consciously made way, watching them with reverent gazes.

This is a privilege only top adventurers can enjoy.

In Mystic Continent, strength is revered above all else, no amount of Gold Coins or good looks can substitute for actual power.

By coincidence, Lin Da had all three.

This time, on the ninth floor of the Mystic Realm, Kafni was injured, and Lulu would only be able to officially join the minor secret realm conquest after the fifteenth floor.

After Lulu changed her class to Witch, she reached the fifteenth floor with Cold Moon Clan's adventure team; Tasya also made it to the same level on her individual conquest.

In other words, not until Phoenix Tail Flower Team pushed through to the fifteenth floor and achieved Iron Level status would these two Star Rankers officially join the team. Until then, the minor secret realm strategy still depended on Lin Da's trio.

"Lord Captain, can the two of us manage?" Monica asked timidly, her head bowed.

"Monica will definitely be fine," Lin Da said, patting Big Lolita's head with a smile. "The magical creatures' attack strength is quite weak this time, so just stay under the captain's shield and let loose with your attacks."

He envisioned information about the ninth floor in his mind.

To perfectly clear the level, there were two hard conditions: one was that the group's Dark Series output had to be over 50%, and the other was defeating the hidden boss within ten seconds.

The former was beyond Lin Da's reach, as he had no Dark Series members in his team.

He could only settle for the next best thing, defeating the hidden boss within ten seconds to achieve an ultimate clear.

'With the Sword of Royalty and a maxed-out Venom Magic Sphere, plus Monica's Earth Bombardment, success is nearly guaranteed.'

Lin Da looked up at the lush World Tree, a colossal column reaching to the heavens, with dense branches piercing through the clouds, covering the sky and land.

In the summertime, Secret Realm Square was particularly crowded, as the World Tree provided much-needed shade to the poor adventurers.

Back then, Snow Goose used to hang out here in the shade... Lin Da glanced at a bench, one he used to sit on often, absorbed in a compendium of Magical Creatures all day long.

"Lord Captain?" Monica saw Lin Da lost in thought and tugged at his hand.

Without realizing it, they had arrived at the entrance of the World Tree.

Lin Da snapped back to attention and smiled, "Let's go."

He took out the Teleportation Stone from his Space Ring, held Monica's soft little hand, and silently thought: Teleport.

A flash of blue light later, they appeared on the ninth floor of the World Tree: the Muddy Wetlands.

...

The sky was covered with dark clouds, seemingly on the verge of pouring rain at any moment.

The air was humid, making one feel sticky all over, wishing for a dry towel to wipe down with.

This uncomfortable environment was also a test for adventurers.

Beneath Lin Da and his team's feet was squishy mud that made squelching noises when stepped on, sucking in their heels.

Moving through the mud, one's agility was surely reduced by at least thirty percent.

The muddy ground was littered with unidentifiable animal skeletons and large patches of green carnivorous moss.

The mosses, seeming almost alive, wrapped the bones, slowly decomposing them and turning them into nutrients for the earth.

Adventurers making any slip were doomed to become part of those white bones.

"Stay close to me, don't wander too far away," Lin Da seriously instructed Monica as he released a sensor ladybug from its cage to connect with the magical screen outside.

Suggestions started coming in heavily soon after.

Lin Da made a polite greeting, then turned his attention to the Mystic Realm Strategy.

He walked cautiously, holding Monica's hand.

Suddenly, a dark shadow lunged out from beneath the mud!

Lin Da was prepared, his hand glowed, and the Sword of Royalty was summoned from his Space Ring.

The sword was as beautiful as moonlight, and the ruby in its hilt emitted a thick fiery light, dispelling the damp and cold around them.

The attacker from beneath the earth was a black flesh worm akin to an earthworm.

It was as thick as an adult man's thigh, a meter long, with a spiraling mouth full of tiny teeth.

A flash in Lin Da's eyes, and he held the Sword of Royalty in position against the direction of the oncoming flesh worm.

There was a hiss as though fabric were being torn, and the magical creature collided with the Sword of Royalty, getting split into two halves right away!

Green stinking blood splashed onto Lin Da's boots, copious guts flowing out from the flesh worm's carcass, spreading a nasty odor.

Lin Da frowned slightly, then looked to the sensor ladybug.

After contemplating for a moment, he spoke to outsiders: "Based on the vibrations on the ground, you can tell where the Wetland Worms are. Later, I will make a dedicated tutorial. If you come today, I plan to quickly pass through the ninth floor, so I will not go into detail here."

Lin Da's casual killing of the magical creature seemed effortless.

But the chat exploded with activity, with scholars among the adventurers typing rapidly:

["I'm a fan of Luanwei flower. Newcomers might not know, but Captain Lin Da's swordplay is absolutely incredible, let me tell you about it."]

["The creature just killed was a Wetland Worm, level 20, a rare magical beast, and every team entering the ninth floor would dread this thing! Wetland Worms don't have high attack strength, but they are poisonous, have thick Life Barriers, and adventurers often exhaust themselves against them even before reaching the Secret Realm Guardian."]

["I'm an adventurer passing through South Rock City. I think this Lin Da is really something, taking out a Wetland Worm with a regular attack. Is he an impressive swordsman?"]

["No, Captain Lin Da is a support."]

["???"]

["Mind-blown!"]
