Therefore, Linda needs an "ice-breaking operation" to break down the barriers between the two.

Sharing a bed, skin to skin, hand in hand, falling asleep together...

But both of them were extremely resistant to this idea.

Do you understand the seriousness of the situation?

Linda put down her chopsticks and looked at Lia and Tasia with a serious expression.

Lia said, "I really can't do that, but I will train hard and try to merge my fighting spirit with Tasia as soon as possible."

“Me too,” Tasia nodded.

"Sigh, let's eat first—"

Just as Lin Da finished speaking, a soft, androgynous laugh was heard.

"Hehehe, so this is where you are. I've been looking for you for ages."

The camouflage curtain made of vines was lifted.

A large orange fox, carrying a bamboo basket full of fruit on its arm, dressed in loose, casual adventurer attire, walked into the cave with a smile, like a neighbor dropping by.

The chat stopped abruptly.

Tasia stood up.

Lia took the Firebird Feather Sword from the ring.

The leisurely mealtime was instantly shattered.

The air seemed to have become heavy.

At this moment, Linda stopped the two of them and said calmly, "If I had known Mr. Fox was coming, I would have prepared an extra set of bowls and chopsticks."

Fox squinted and looked around, noticing the other two sets of tableware containing the wild vegetable soup, and his heart skipped a beat.

Was Linda not just bluffing that day, or did she really have help coming her way?

"Captain Linda guessed that we would have guests today? Her reputation as the 'Eye of Truth' is well-deserved."

"I'm not that amazing, it's all just rumors."

Linda shook her head. "Lulu and Monica went to pick fruit and haven't come back yet."

"What good luck! We actually managed to find all the lost team members in this secluded secret realm." Fox put down the fruit basket and said with a half-smile, "Captain Linda, won't you invite me to sit down?"

"Who are you? Don't push your luck! Get out of here!" Leah glared at her angrily. "You stole over a hundred of our tree fruits, and all you return are these ordinary fruits? Take your fruit basket and get out of here!"

"But I did put in the work too," Fox said, looking aggrieved.

Tasia remained expressionless, pulled out a stone chair, served Fox a bowl of wild vegetable soup, and said in a flat tone, "Please sit down."

"Thanks!" Fox sat down on the stone bench with a carefree attitude, rubbing his belly and exclaiming, "It's been so long since I've had any warm food. Did Captain Linda make all of this? If I were a girl, I would definitely fall in love with you."

Linda seemed to have forgotten her hatred for Hu'er and said with a faint smile, "The native wild vegetables produced in the closed secret realm are worth dozens of gold coins outside. Come on, have a taste."

"Then I shall respectfully comply."

Fox secretly kept a watchful eye on Tasia and Lia on his left and right sides, pretending to be relaxed. He took a big sip of the wild vegetable soup, took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and praised, "Good cooking. I like Captain Linda even more now."

"You're a liar."

Leah crossed her arms and sneered, "You said you liked me the most when we met last time, and now it's Linda?"

"Excuse my bluntness," Fox smiled, "Miss Lia's charm is indeed not as great as Linda's."

"you...!"

Lia immediately turned red-hot and raised her greatsword to strike Fox.

“Wait a minute, Mr. Fox is a guest,” Linda said. “We may have had some grudges before, but in the closed Grand Mythic Realm, we should fight side by side and overcome difficulties together.”

"Hehe, yes, Captain Linda and I get along really well."

Fox said it lightly, but a bead of cold sweat seeped out of his forehead as he couldn't help but notice the two empty sets of cutlery on the table.

If it were only Linda and the other two, even if he was injured by the witch Baimian, he was still confident that he could gain the upper hand, and if all else failed, he could use his battle aura wings to leave.

But with two more Star-Rank members joining Linda's side, Fox felt a lot of pressure.

Ordinary star-rank adventurers are fine, but as far as he knows, whether it's Linda, Tasia, or Lia, they are all outstanding adventurers among their peers.

Fox drank a few mouthfuls of wild vegetable soup, but his mind became increasingly uneasy.

"I still need to collect water, so I won't bother you any longer, Linda. Let's contact each other another day."

Hu'er stood up.

"What could be more important than this meal? Fox, are you trying to embarrass me?"

Linda's face darkened, and she slammed her chopsticks on the table.

Fox was stunned for a moment, his fake smile crumbled, and he stared at Linda with a cold look in his eyes.

This startled Leah.

Linda was quite polite and afraid of Huer just now, how come she turned on him in the blink of an eye?

If they really fight with Hu'er, they'll be the ones who suffer.

Not long ago, Lia had planned to use her greatsword to cut down Fox, but after calming down, she thought of this.

She secretly activated her skill to gather energy, preparing for an instant battle.

But what happened next made Leah even more dizzy.

After a brief standoff, a smile returned to the fox's face.

Fox rubbed his hands together, his expression somewhat obsequious.

"Captain Linda, it's not that I'm being disrespectful, but when I visit you another day, I'll definitely punish myself with a barrel of ale! Today, I have an injured adventurer at home who needs to wait for me to get back and treat him."

Fox said sincerely, "Today I'll leave five dark-colored tree fruits as an apology."

"My reputation is only worth five tree fruits?"

Linda said in a deep voice.

He pressed Hu'er relentlessly, as if a superior were punishing a subordinate who had made a mistake.

'Why has Linda become so arrogant?'

Leah was completely bewildered, scratching her head until it ached, but she still couldn't figure out what was going on.

Why is the Moon-Ranked Fox afraid of Linda?

Linda didn't even bring the Azure Shield properly. What if Fox uses his ultimate move at close range? Wouldn't that be terrible?

Tasia, however, became even more arrogant, subtly blocking the cave exit as if preparing to forcibly detain Fox.

So, what exactly is going on between you two?

Do you possess some kind of deadly weapon that I am unaware of?

Leah thought to herself...

The more she thought about it, the more it made sense, and her eyes lit up.

I see!

"Hahaha! Fox, today is your death day! Now kneel down and apologize to me!"
