"Huh, you knew that?"
"Yes, the news has even reached our Nanyan City."
Upon hearing this, the local adventurer's face lit up with pride: "We adventurers from White Dove City are just that awesome."
"Heh, let's talk about it after you guys produce a Rising Sun-level adventure team first."
"What, you want to fight?"
...
The small brawl in the distance did not attract Linda's attention.
He was a little frustrated today.
The party plan was a complete disaster!
Linda thought her villa was big enough, and that setting up twenty tables on the first and third floors to accommodate one or two hundred people would not be a problem.
Keep in mind that there are only about fifty Rock-level adventure teams in White Dove City. Excluding the Ghost Adventurer Group which wasn't invited, each of the others averages two or three people...
Rationally speaking, some adventure teams are quite busy, so they just come to make a brief appearance, drop off their gifts, and leave. Linda felt that the third floor was unnecessary, and the first floor alone was enough to entertain guests.
But what is the reality?
A rough estimate suggests that more than 300 people will come today!
Linda was completely overwhelmed and urgently hired a group of temporary waiters.
Meanwhile, Lulu and I ran up and down, arranging seats for the guests, working up a sweat.
Monica was shy, so they let her stay in the room to play. But that wretched Kaphni, seeing there was too much work to do, simply hid away, disappearing to who knows where.
All the work fell to Linda and Lulu.
"Mr. Robert, welcome."
Good morning, Mr. Piqué.
"Hello, Linda."
"Good morning!"
They exchanged pleasantries with smiles on both sides.
Robert and Pike, each leading eight team members, delivered the gift boxes to Linda.
Linda didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the gift, as is the custom of adventurers.
Hosting a promotion party should earn you at least tens of thousands of gold coins, right?
It's definitely worth it; no wonder everyone's doing it.
"Please come in, everyone."
Linda arranged the guests to their respective seats in an orderly manner.
He was fine fighting monsters, but after running around all morning, his back ached and his face was covered in sweat.
"If you're tired, take a break. I'll take care of them."
A clear, cold voice, tinged with a hint of heartache, rang out beside Linda.
He caught a faint fragrance, as if bathed in a spring breeze.
Turning his head, he saw a beastman girl in a blue off-shoulder dress standing in front of him.
Lulu's body was no longer bound by bandages, and it stood tall and erect. Her small face was lightly made up, and her lips were pink and tender, like cherries moistened with water in the morning.
A large, fluffy tail drooped wearily from the opening of her dress.
At that moment, Lulu stood on tiptoe, took out a white handkerchief, and wiped Linda's sweat-covered cheeks.
With her light blue short hair, fair shoulders, and a wonderful blend of perfume and natural body scent, Linda stared blankly at Lulu, finding it hard to reconcile the Lulu she had first met with the one who was wary like a wolf and would even bite.
The surrounding guests, seeing this, began to cheer and jeer.
Some teased Linda for cheating on her teammates, while others, being single, were green with envy and drank heavily, already drunk before the party even officially started.
Linda ignored the noise, his eyes fixed on the beautiful short-haired girl in front of him. A strong impulse drove him to reach out and grab Lulu's right hand.
This gesture in public undoubtedly carried a deeper meaning in the eyes of the guests!
Lulu isn't stupid; she knows perfectly well what kind of impression Linda's actions will give others.
When the guests arrived and saw Linda holding a girl's hand to greet them, they would surely think: This girl has a very close relationship with Linda.
This kind of treatment...
Only Tina and her strongest teammates have ever enjoyed this.
Lulu recalled the original adventure team when they held their advancement party.
The place was packed with guests.
The girls accompanying 'Shadow of Darkness' include Tina, Wolf, and others... seven or eight beautiful girls with unique appearances.
Lulu, on the other hand, could only serve as a maid, pouring tea and water, watching their backs with mixed feelings in the crowd.
Even in her dreams, Lulu never imagined that the person standing next to Linda today would be her.
Moreover, she was the only one who was being led by the hand by Linda, like the mistress of a mansion, as they came to the yard to greet the guest.
Lulu's brain was buzzing, all her usual wit and quick thinking were thrown into the trash, and she was led forward by Linda's hand in a daze.
Her eyes reflected Linda's tall and imposing figure as they entered the courtyard. The rising sun cast a ray of light upon Linda.
In Lulu's eyes, this was like a 'shadow of light' draped in the morning glow.
Overwhelmed by the bitterness of the past few years, a tiny, glistening tear welled up in Lulu's eye and slowly slid down her cheek.
When Linda led Lulu out, the guests who had been exchanging pleasantries in the courtyard all fell silent.
They had initially shown respect to the captain of the Phoenix Flower Group, keeping their voices down. However, seeing the man and woman walking out of the villa hand in hand, the guests' eyes lit up with surprise and gossip.
According to the rumors circulating outside, Linda has had far too many ambiguous relationships.
The most popular choice is Eiko from the Snow Goose Adventure Team.
Then there's Kafni, and some say that Leah's side might make a comeback.
And the Eye of Truth is a philanderer who has already taken Monica and Chrona by his side.
Therefore, when Linda brought Lulu into the public eye, this action was like a sharp sword, cutting through the false lies.
