In the courtyard, Linda was in charge of greeting the guests, while Lulu accepted the gifts they offered.
Although it was their first time working together, they had a great rapport.
Lulu was stunningly beautiful; her blue gown was like a layer of icy armor, beautiful yet possessing a sharp edge that dared not be looked at directly. Only when she looked at Linda beside her did Lulu's gaze soften, melting into a pool of spring water...
Glug glug!
A sour, swallowing sound echoed in the throat of the lone adventurer.
This scene was naturally witnessed by the members of the Snow Goose Adventure Team on the carriage.
Eko and Lia turned pale instantly.
'Oh no! Has Linda already been completely taken advantage of?!'
Ai Ke bit her lip in frustration, her face trembling slightly. She hated herself for being so stubborn for the past three years, not taking the plunge and trying to entice Linda.
If Linda had been pushed down earlier, Lulu wouldn't have had anything to do with it.
She is the owner of this luxurious villa in the Canary Community!
Compared to Eko's regret, Lia's feelings were much more complicated.
It was so complicated that even Leah herself didn't know why she felt so tight in her chest.
Seeing the person who was once the best to her now standing next to another girl... made Leah's hands tremble slightly, and a mix of strange feelings welled up inside her. If she were in the bathroom, she might have vomited.
Lia stared blankly at Linda, who was smiling brightly in the yard. Linda's hand naturally took Lulu's hand.
The intimate atmosphere subtly transcended the relationship between teammates.
Leah had never thought about this before.
He only considered Linda as a teammate and didn't think that Linda having a girlfriend would affect her. Or rather, Lia hadn't even considered the possibility of Linda having a girlfriend.
As if adventure were the only eternal theme, Xueyan ran headlong until she reached the top floor before considering anything else.
Even though Linda was no longer a part of her life, and it wouldn't matter to her if she had a hundred girlfriends, at this moment, as Leah watched Linda and Lulu holding hands, it felt as if a dull little saw was slowly cutting into her heart.
The slight pain spread throughout Leah's body with each breath. Gradually, she felt a chill creeping up her body and clutched the delicate little gift box tightly in her hand.
It has dents, fingerprints, and has become wrinkled.
Oru said in surprise, "Is that Linda's girlfriend? I've been telling him to find one for a long time. It's so nice to have someone to accompany you on your adventure, hahaha."
These words were an additional blow to Eko and Lia. Their delicate bodies trembled, and they looked disheveled, like two defeated dogs with drooping ears.
Kaine pinched Oru's thigh, gave him a look, and shook her head repeatedly.
Orlu: ?
He was just stating the facts.
Chrona, also kept in the dark, dressed in a pretty brown dress and carrying a rabbit-head handbag, was the first to jump off the carriage:
"Everyone, move! Why aren't you moving?"
Aiko chuckled dryly, glancing at her spatial ring, silently comforting herself. There's still hope; the one who stays until the end is the winner. Lulu is only a small step ahead.
As for Leah, she lowered her head and said softly, "You guys go ahead, my stomach hurts, I don't want to go."
Stage fright?
Aiko pouted: "You're not scared, are you?"
"How could I possibly be afraid!"
Leah raised her eyebrows, gritted her teeth, and got off the carriage. "Cricket Linda, what's there to be afraid of? At most, it'll just be a fight."
No... they would never fight you in a situation like this, right?
Ai Ke was both amused and exasperated. If a fight broke out, it would be like wrecking someone's place.
Xueyan and her group walked over.
"welcome."
Linda had noticed the carriage parked outside the courtyard long ago.
The flag of the Snow Goose Adventure Team fluttered in the breeze.
A white wild goose spreads its wings and soars into the sky.
It implies that one is not afraid of difficulties and dangers, and will eventually achieve the goal.
The team flag was decided by Linda, her sister Linxi, and Liya together.
Leah strode over, her fiery red dress and hair making her look like a vibrant rose.
Are they more like swordsmen going to battle than attending a party?
The surrounding guests consciously lowered their voices and peeked over.
Holding sunflower seeds and drinks, I was ready to watch the show.
As Xueyan and her group approached, it seemed to trigger Lulu's werewolf bloodline's instinct to protect her territory.
Lulu stepped forward with a frosty expression, looked coldly at Leah, and said in a tone devoid of any warmth, "Welcome."
Leah stopped in front of them without responding.
This is unlike Leah's usual style.
The feeling of irritability in her heart intensified several times over.
Looking up at Linda, she didn't see the sharp and sarcastic tone she had imagined; instead, she simply looked at her with a peaceful gaze.
They treated the same way they treated the other guests.
Leah pursed her lips.
Perhaps she just thinks too highly of herself.
Linda has a new villa, new teammates, and is even on good terms with the White Dove Adventurers. She has long forgotten about Xueyan.
Only she remained stuck in those three years, unwilling to step out.
"Congratulations on breaking through the level 20 threshold."
Leah took out a crumpled, long gift box with the logo of the brand "Ocean and Sky" on it. The simple gilded pattern depicted the ocean and sky.
It is a well-known brand with a chain spanning the empire.
“Here’s a gift,” Lia said.
Seeing Linda's surprised expression, Leah hesitated for a moment and said, "When the adventure team was first formed, I remember you stared at the shop window for a long time."
