After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Long eyelashes swayed with the girl's breathing, her light blue short hair spread on the ground like tender petals of a blossom.

Her white forehead, cheeks, and neck were all covered in sweat.

Intermingled with her body scent, it intertwined with Lin Da's breath.

Creating a strangely stimulating, addictive scent.

Lin Da examined the girl with her eyes closed and couldn't help but silently exclaim, "She is much prettier in person than in the game's 3D models! The charm and cuteness of the werewolf race are subtly blended together!"

But he knew, now was not the time to daydream.

If Lulu noticed anything unusual about him, his hand in the wolf's mouth might not be safe.

During the purification process, Lin Da's system messages flooded his screen.

[Witch Lulu's Trust +10, Current Trust 0, Stranger]

[Trust +10]

[Trust +6]

[Trust +15]

[Current Trust, 31, Courtesy Greeting!]

As trust increased, so did the strength of the purification, forming a positive cycle.

Not only that, but with three major increases in trust, Lin Da received system rewards.

[System Alert: Trust increased to 0 Stranger, reward 100 Mystical Points!]

[System Alert: Trust increased to 10 Acquaintance, reward Purple Rare equipment 'Walnut Wood Magic Sword'!]

[System Alert: Trust increased to 20 Nod of Acquaintance, reward Purple Rare item 'Large Explosion Stone'!]

[System Alert: Trust increased to 30 Courtesy Greeting, reward 1000 Experience Points!]

The 1000 Experience Points felt like an enlightening infusion, entering Lin Da's body as a ray of golden light struck his head.

Thus, Lin Da who was on Lulu's body leveled up under her stupefied gaze.

The werewolf girl, probably having never seen nor heard of an adventurer leveling up on someone's belly, stared at Lin Da with a bewildered look.

Meanwhile, Lin Da checked the system rewards.

1000 Experience Points allowed him to level up from 7 to 8, and he was left with 300 Experience Points.

[System Alert: Strength +13, Magic Power +13, Defense +2, Magic Defense +3, Agility +2, Hit Points +200]

[Skill Points +1]

[Next Level Experience: 300/1500]

Farming a witch was even faster than grinding monsters.

Lin Da thought to himself.

Half a minute later, his Magic Power was nearly spent, and he stopped the purification.

The green hue of his arm also returned to normal.

Lulu lay calmly on the ground.

Her wolf tail, like a sweeping broom, moved swiftly side to side, scraping a curved pit on the ground.

Lin Da's heart rate increased as he carefully withdrew his fingers.

They brought with them strands of glittering liquid.

Just at the moment they passed over Lulu's chest, they broke.

They fell with a plop… in between.

Lin Da was drenched in sweat!

But surprisingly, Lulu was not annoyed and looked at him calmly,

"I am grateful for your help, and also, can you move off quickly?"

As Lin Da heard the sound of a wolf's tail sweeping in the cave, growing louder and stirring up dust, he knew Lulu was not as calm as she appeared. If he didn't get up soon, there might indeed be a risk.

Leaving the warm body behind, Lin Da felt an inexplicable reluctance. Although Lulu seemed cold, her body was actually very soft and petite, just the right size for him to hold.

The feel of the beastman's fuzzy tail must also be great.

Yet this pleasant thought made Lin Da sigh, knowing that once Lulu reached White Dove City, it wouldn't take long for her to find out he was "Lin Da."

By then, friendly hugs would be the least of his worries, fearing that those beastly claws might mercilessly attack his throat.

The current trust level is 30 points, courtesy greeting.

Hopefully, these 30 points of trust would make Lulu give up on attacking.

While thinking this, Lin Da crawled out of the cave.

After a while, Lulu tidied up her disheveled clothes and followed suit.

Kafni sat on a small hill, curiously propping her chin with her hands as she looked toward them.

The atmosphere had changed.

Even if Lin Da told her about the sounds from the small hill, that he was fighting the witch, she would believe him.

This hero seemed to be quite capable!

"I think we need to find a place to talk," Lulu said, hands in her pockets, chewing on a piece of gum, and glancing at Lin Da with an uneasy expression. "Why do you have that kind of power, and... what is your purpose in helping me?"

Those were indeed not topics suitable for discussion outdoors, as it would be bad if someone overheard.

Lin Da vaguely responded, "You must have caught on to my vulnerability, right?"

Lulu was startled.

After a moment of thought, she understood what the 'vulnerability' referred to.

The miraculous power to purify witches was indeed a powerful vulnerability. Once the news got out, Lin Da would face an unprecedented brutal manhunt from the Demon Realm. How could the Demon Realm allow their human bombs to be purified one by one?

Taking the Demon King's power without doing the right thing is like freeloading!

Lin Da was like a large eraser, able to wipe out the contract bindings inside the witches.

The consequences of the exposure would put Lin Da in danger.

But Lulu still couldn't grasp the reason for his actions.

What was he plotting?

The three of them, each preoccupied with their thoughts, hurried back to White Dove City.

...

Sparrow District, a certain hotel.

This was probably the most upscale hotel in Sparrow District: the living room was spacious and brightly lit by magic lamps.

Lin Da and Kafni checked whether there were any recording stones or anything of the sort.

Certain despicable adventurers, to eavesdrop on others, would set up recording stones in hidden places in small hotels.

They truly deserved death and should be thrown into the Goblin Cave for severe punishment!

As Lin Da and his companion checked, the sound of splashing water came from the adjacent bathroom.

Lulu, who had been pinned to the ground in the cave for quite a while, and whose body bore contaminated black blood and dirt, consequently went to bathe—the first thing she did upon renting the hotel room.

A cold voice came from the bathroom: "If you dare to peep, I won't let you off."

"I'm not interested in flat surfaces," Lin Da said helplessly as he sat on the sofa to rest after finishing the inspection.

In the bathroom.

A bundle of chest-binding bandages lay discarded in a wooden basket full of clothes.

A short-haired girl with a furry tail propped her right hand against the wall, covering her freed ample chest, and pursed her lips as she stared at her reflection in the life-sized mirror.

Her wheat-colored skin was healthy and vibrant, her waist full of explosive power, devoid of any excess fat.

Lulu weighed her front and her expression darkened.

Flat...? She wished it were so; too large was actually a hindrance in battle!

But she didn't rebut, nor did she understand Lin Da's disdain for flat surfaces.

At that moment, the warm water of the shower wet Lulu's hair, which clung damply to her cheeks.

She absentmindedly cleaned the stains on her skin while lightly touching her lips with her other hand.

They seemed to still retain the salty taste of Lin Da's sweat, along with a strong sensation of the unusual.

The bad act he committed was actually just to save her.

The ability to purify pollution inside a witch was called something Lin Da alone knew, and why he possessed it, Lulu was completely unaware.

And why he exposed this ability to save her, was also a mystery.
