"Couples use affectionate nicknames for each other. Kaine calls Oru 'Ao' in private."
Leah blinked her big eyes at Linda: "My mother calls me Lily, only my mother calls me that!"
Hiss.
A chill ran down Linda's spine.
That's so awkward!
If anyone else heard this, I'd be dead on the spot!
"Why don't you call out?" Leah narrowed her eyes, a murderous aura swirling within them.
Linda said awkwardly, "Lily, Lily."
"oh"
The blush on the girl's face spread to her earlobes, and her neck turned red.
This was the first time since Leah's birth that anyone other than her mother, Belinne, had called her by her childhood nickname.
"hey-hey."
Lia smiled at Linda, her eyes crinkling at the corners.
Linda dressed and fled Xueyan Villa in a daze.
He and Anna flew through the air, using the clouds to conceal their presence.
I'm still a little dazed.
From last night until now, it feels like a dream.
What Linda found most unsettling was that there were several moments when he thought the idiot was adorable!
"well!"
Linda rubbed her temples and let out a long sigh.
Things have come to this.
Let's go home and have dinner first.
At most, when building the manor in the future, we'll prepare one more room.
With Linda's wealth, she could build not just one room, but a hundred.
Back at the Phoenix Flower Villa, Linda entered the bathroom under the strange looks from Lulu and the others.
When I came out, the air in the living room felt particularly oppressive.
Linda's throat was dry. She said, "Um, Leah."
"We already knew."
Lulu, wearing an apron and busy in the kitchen, said casually, "You had a premonition when you went upstairs with Lia last night."
Tasia said expressionlessly, "Although I dislike that red-haired dwarf, I unconditionally support the captain's choice."
Monica: "Me too."
Anna was the happiest: "Hehe, I leveled up last night, now I'm level 44!"
"Huh? Why aren't you praising me?" Anna tilted her head and said mischievously.
Kaphni sat on the sofa, picking at her toes and reading a comic book. With a forced smile, she said, "Heh, never mind him. I've known for a long time that he's a pervert. He even had designs on me a while ago."
Monica asked curiously, "So, Sister Kaphni and Captain aren't in that kind of relationship?"
The others were also taken aback.
You must be the most senior member of the Phoenix Flower family, right?
It wasn't Linda's Oathbrook?
Kaphni said in a panic, "Don't get me wrong, I was tricked by Linda into joining the Phoenix Flower. Otherwise, who would want to be an adventurer? It's more tiring than being a cow or a horse."
The team members looked at Linda in surprise, not knowing that he had this side to him.
Linda was also quite helpless. At the time, she mainly felt that Kaphni's attitude was too disgusting, and secondly, having a deity by her side was definitely better than asking for anything else. If she got the person, then everything else would definitely be his.
Just as I was thinking about how to explain it to my teammates, suddenly, the doorbell rang.
"I'll go open the door."
Linda held Tasia's hand and said with a smile, "Do more things these next few days to ease the team members' resentment."
Leah's personality is so unlikable that no one likes her except Anna.
Linda decided to work hard on "purification" in the next few days to make the team members feel happy and relaxed.
Standing outside the Phoenix Flower Villa were two girls, one in red and one in black, both looking nervous.
The one in red is an orc, with short hair and round tiger ears that lie flat on its head.
She wore a white strapless top and denim shorts.
The girl's light brown skin glowed like chocolate, and her six-pack abs attracted the attention of passersby.
The girl in black was wearing a very thick dress on a hot day. The hem of the dress reached all the way to her heels, just a millimeter away from dragging on the ground.
The skirt was wrinkled and covered in dried mud, indicating it hadn't been washed for many days.
Her long, black hair, like seaweed, covered her entire face, leaving only her nose and below. She had a gloomy demeanor and exuded a suffocatingly low-pressure atmosphere.
Residents of the Canary Quarter whispered among themselves as they passed by:
"I really envy Captain Linda, she gets to play with new pretty girls again."
"The curtains are always drawn so tightly, and there's even a soundproofing array. I really don't know what's going on inside the villa."
“I suspect that even the great nobles are not as happy as Linda.”
"Sigh, everyone calls him the ultimate pervert, yet everyone envies him!"
The whispers of passersby reached the ears of the two girls.
They were all at the Moon Rank, and their hearing was far beyond that of ordinary people.
"Our boss seems to be a pervert? We need to be careful," Tiger said in surprise.
"A faithless, unfaithful man! No, he is unforgivable!"
He gritted his teeth in despair.
“Then it’s settled. When we see the boss, I’ll smash his head in, and you attack his groin.” Taigo patted his chest, encouraging himself. “Don’t be afraid, the boss is definitely out of power. If he were really that strong, he would have taken us out that night.”
Taigo wasn't actually that stupid. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that if Linda had the strength of the Light Rank, how could she be so gentle to them?
In the past, Linda was a ruthless devil who would lock team members in a dark room or kick them out of the team if they were not satisfied with her.
That devil actually patted her head and praised her for making the right choice.
Something just doesn't feel right!
After ringing the doorbell, Tego's ears perked up as he heard footsteps approaching.
A pair of tiger eyes stared intently at the door, the lock inside turning, and the crack in the door gradually widening.
