As an orc, Lulu's furry ears stand up like a fox's, and she occasionally listens to the sounds around her, tilting them at various angles, which is quite amusing to watch.
Linda couldn't resist touching Lulu's ear.
"Eek!"
Lulu, caught completely off guard by the attack on her vulnerable spot, couldn't help but let out an adorable meow like a cat.
Lulu looked up in embarrassment and, sure enough, saw Linda's surprised expression. This made her even more awkward. She snorted and said:
"Who told you to touch my ear, Eye of Truth... Heh, you're clearly the ultimate pervert!"
No... Lulu is actually quite horny, isn't she? Linda thought to herself, even though the treatment is over, she's still willing to continue receiving 'treatment'.
Linda wisely refrained from pointing it out. His response to Lulu was a faint smile, followed by him reaching out and grabbing Lulu's ears.
The disobedient orc needs further treatment!
Lulu was completely bewildered; furry ears and a tail were off-limits to werewolves.
In her hazy memory, neither her parents had ever touched it, but Linda grabbed it without hesitation and even leaned in to... perform treatment!
In this episode, Lulu's brain completely broke down, her eyes became blurry circles, and she was completely at Linda's mercy.
"Waaah... let... let go..."
Despite Lulu's 'all-out' refusal, even pounding Linda's shoulder with her little fists, the system miraculously received several notifications:
Trust level +1
Trust level +1
Trust level +1
[Current Trust Level: 80 points, Close Friend/Friendship with Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya]
[Reward: Amazing Gel Sleeve!]
【Name: Magic Gel Sheet】
Type: Item (can be used once)
[Quality: Legendary]
[Description: Thin as air, seemingly nonexistent, yet still functioning as a normal gel sheath; an essential for top adventurers!]
In his excitement, Linda accidentally materialized the magical gel sheath from the warehouse into his palm. Of course, to Lulu, it looked just like he was taking something out of his spatial ring.
"What...?" Lulu could hardly breathe. She pushed Linda away and looked at the object in his hand with a puzzled expression.
Linda was also quite puzzled. With 80% favorability, she received a gel sleeve. Was the system hinting at something to her?
The quality of the gel sleeve is exceptional, reaching legendary levels.
The most peculiar thing is that it only has a white elastic ring, without any corresponding 'pocket', and you can't touch it at all.
However, according to the prop's instructions, as long as you wear this ring, you don't need to worry about conceiving a baby.
Lulu clearly didn't understand what the prop was for. She took it from Linda's hand and, like a curious child, put it on her finger and fiddled with it.
Linda was quite embarrassed.
Should we tell Lulu the truth?
Wait, something's not right. Could it be that Lulu actually understands, and this is some kind of hint?
Thinking of this, Linda perked up.
The girl's fair skin, bathed in moonlight, exuded a hazy, alluring charm.
The pink lips were incredibly tempting, but just a moment later, Linda couldn't recall the taste anymore.
He looked sincerely into Lulu's eyes and said, "Is it okay?"
"?"
Lulu was stunned for a while, staring blankly at the prop in her hand, then at Linda's burning gaze, before she suddenly realized!
What she thought was a magical artifact was actually a 'weapon' specifically designed to attack girls!?
"Of course not!"
Lulu's face flushed red, her tail bristled, and she threw it forcefully to Linda, saying, "We're just teammates!"
"Is it really not going to work?" Linda asked.
"Anyway... not today." Lulu hesitated for a moment, then mumbled.
What about tomorrow?
"Tomorrow... is not an option either! We're teammates!"
"If it were Tasia, she would probably agree."
After Linda finished speaking with emotion, she received a system notification that her trust level had decreased by 1.
"Hmph, then go find her."
Lulu sat on the far right with her arms crossed, looking rather angry.
"Uh, sorry."
Linda realized that some jokes shouldn't be made.
While a witch's level of trust is not the same as her level of affection, it's easy to imagine that she would have a high level of affection for someone she trusts deeply.
"Are you planning to let Tasia join the Phoenix Flower?" Lulu's expression softened after receiving Linda's apology, and she asked softly.
This is a serious matter. Linda nodded seriously and nodded in agreement.
He and Lulu had made a promise.
Find the lost team members, and together we'll climb to the top of the World Tree.
"Stupid captain." Lulu pursed her lips, knowing full well that Linda would do this, but she still couldn't help wanting to stay in the Phoenix Flower Garden.
If Linda really abandons all the other team members, then that Linda is not the Linda she respects.
“There are many teammates who are stronger than us, right?” Lulu looked at the sleeping Monica and whispered, “Will you forget about us?”
Just like last time.
Linda knew what Lulu meant. Having drawn a five-star card, she didn't hesitate to throw away her four-star card.
"This time, absolutely not."
Linda's expression was resolute.
"Hmph, I hope so."
For the first time, Lulu gritted her teeth and took the initiative to reach out her fair arms to embrace Linda's head.
Trust level +1 +1 +1 +1...
Current trust level: 83 points
...
Back at the villa, Linda and Lulu escorted the other two, who were asleep, back to their rooms.
Meanwhile, the two of them were in the lobby on the third floor, taking stock of their spoils from the monster tide.
Lulu watched Linda take out various materials from her spatial ring with tenderness, feeling a sense of being deeply trusted.
Each of those materials was extremely precious; they were the lifeblood of the Phoenix Tail Flower Squad.
Linda called her over to help with the inventory; what else could this be but trust?
Compared to Monica and Kaphni, she is undoubtedly a step ahead.
The room was filled with materials.
The three most eye-catching items are:
The Black-Armored Crab General's four pairs of pincers can be used to craft two orange-tier weapons.
The remains of the Red-Armored Crab King are worth approximately 600,000 gold.
The Red-Armored Crab King's claws can be used to craft two top-tier orange jewelry pieces with set bonuses.
"I'm sorry." Lulu suddenly clenched her little fist in self-reproach and said, "I couldn't help the team during the monster tide."
With so many precious materials, one can imagine that the Phalaenopsis rose went through a fierce battle.
However, due to a certain mission she was carrying out and her fear of exposing her identity as a witch, she was unable to accompany Luna Flower into battle.
“You’ve done a great job stopping Tasia.” Linda rubbed Lulu’s head. “Don’t worry about your identity being exposed. Continue treatment for another week, and unless it’s a high-level adventurer, no one will be able to discover your identity as a witch.”
Linda said with bright eyes, "If you feel guilty for not contributing to the team, there's no need to. There's an epic monster's lair in the fifth level of the Mythic+ dungeon, and we'll need your help as a Frostwolf Warrior then."
