Lia and the others hadn't had lunch yet, so Linda, who hadn't cooked in a long time, prepared a table full of dishes.
The aroma of food wafted from the table.
During the meal, a third group of guests arrived.
Isa, the captain of the Ice Flower Adventure Team, and Fanis, the commander.
"Hello, we've come to see you." Fanice pushed up her black round-framed glasses and greeted us with a smile.
Isa breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Linda was safe and sound.
"That's great, it's so good to be back..." Isa forced a smile and sat down on the sofa.
"Have you run into some trouble?" Linda asked worriedly.
Since Ice Flower broke through to the 14th level and advanced to the Steel level, the two sides haven't seen each other much.
"I'm fine, it's all in the past." Isha changed the subject and looked at Linda expectantly: "The new announcement is out. In twenty days, the 15th level of the Great Mystic Realm will open. Are you planning to come?"
“Twenty days is a bit tight. We’ll see how it goes.” Linda thought for a moment and said, “If possible, I’ll find Monica first and take her with me to conquer floors 11 to 14. That way, everyone can receive the Goddess’s blessing.”
Everyone was talking.
Ding-a-ling~
"Hello, this is [Hummingbird Run], there is a letter for you."
Outside the door, an adventurer dressed in yellow and riding a horse handed over the letter.
After reading the letter, Linda tensed up.
— [Junior, come to the Woodpecker Inn to see the Dean.]
"Woodpecker Inn...is that Bai Luo's?"
Linda's eyes flickered.
Has my identity been exposed?
He didn't want to be humiliated on the big bed by a catgirl who was less than 1.4 meters tall.
"Everyone, I'm so sorry, I have to take my leave."
Not daring to neglect this "little black-robed man" of the Light Rank, Linda took a carriage to the agreed location.
...
The Woodpecker Hotel is on the third floor. The room name is "Forest and Woodpecker".
Linda pushed open the door and felt as if she had entered a fairy tale world.
Lush green trees and a clear, gently flowing stream.
The sun was shining brightly overhead, and a gentle breeze was blowing on my face.
Linda was amazed as she visited the top-tier inn that featured the illusion array for the first time.
As he passed by the river, he could feel the air becoming more humid. In the river, which was so clear that he could see the bottom, small red fish darted around happily, and the riverbank was lined with smooth pebbles.
Linda squatted down and curiously scooped up a handful of river water. Although it felt cold to the touch, once she left the river, the water turned into pale blue magical particles within seconds and slowly dissipated.
"Junior, is this your first time entering an illusion array? Although it looks very realistic, it's all an illusion."
Between two large trees, there is a small bed woven from vines, where a petite silver-haired girl sits, with a round, tree stump-shaped "desk" in front of her.
The girl, wearing red-rimmed glasses, held a pen with an air of importance, approving documents.
Linda was slightly lost in thought.
The difference between her and Bai Luo, the "White Cat Swordsman" with twin ponytails and an indifferent expression in the game, is just too great.
In short, she is a problem girl with a cold personality, whom Linda calls "Little Dark Shadow".
Aside from his height and chest area remaining unchanged, the changes in other aspects were so drastic that Linda could hardly recognize him.
It seems that Bai Luo suffered a lot during those three years.
Without the protection of the Dark Shadow, he might be bullied by the other team members.
Like the five-star werewolf Wolf, the dual-elemental light and dark Tina, and that little princess of the dragon element...
That's all in hindsight.
What Linda needs to do now is to hide her identity and avoid being captured by the 1.4-meter-tall catgirl and forced into marriage in Cangqing City.
"May I ask what you need me for, Dean?"
Suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, Linda bowed to her "student" and used respectful language.
"You know who I am?"
Bai Luo smiled faintly, put down the quill pen in her hand, and took off the red-rimmed glasses that had no prescription and were worn only to make herself look more like an adult.
The girl looked calmly at Linda with her large, purplish-red eyes.
The aura of the light lingered around Linda, making him feel as if he were being stared at by a tiger, and a bead of sweat rolled down his forehead.
“I want to apologize to the Dean,” Linda said.
"Huh? Apologize? Why should I apologize? You have no reason to apologize."
Bai Luo narrowed his eyes. Behind the log stump, the girl's slender legs, clad in snow-white stockings, were crossed, and a smile appeared on her lips as she looked at Lin Da with a playful expression.
The pressure around them seemed to increase, and a few more beads of sweat rolled down Linda's forehead.
When Lin Da learned that Bai Luo's other identity was the dean of Qingkong University, he understood where he had offended him.
More than a month has passed, but I didn't expect Bai Luo to still remember it.
What a narrow-minded cat-eared loli!
Given Linda's current strength, she could only complain in her heart.
He looked respectfully at the little kitten girl sitting on the vine-covered bed, as if swinging on a swing, and bowed, saying:
"How dare I ignore the Dean's invitation! It was extremely arrogant of me... I thought that someone as important as you wouldn't care about my reply at all, but now I realize that it was my disrespect towards the Dean."
Seeing Linda bowing at a ninety-degree angle with such sincerity, Bai Luo's face showed satisfaction.
"It's good that you admit your mistake. I forgive you."
Bai Luo walked over to Lin Da and, standing on tiptoe, patted Lin Da's head.
This made Linda's sense of unease even stronger.
I was actually comforted by a "child".
But it feels very comfortable?
She even wanted to lie on Bai Luo's lap, which was clad in snow-white socks, and take a nap.
