Her black hair was straight and smooth, like satin, and she was currently holding a steaming cup of red tea in both hands.
Her tender, moist lips lightly sipped, and as she drank a little red tea, she left a blurred lipstick mark.
This young lady naturally possessed the dignified and noble air of a young lady.
If Milis, who once mocked Lin Da in the trading company, saw this girl, she would absolutely feel humiliated, so ashamed she might want to bury her head in her lap.
Such aristocratic air could not be brought by dress or adornment alone.
The girlâs every move carried the elegance of a high-class figure, her grip on the tea cup handle was impeccable, each finger positioned just right, so much so that even a royal etiquette tutor would sigh in admiration, feeling unworthy.
She looked down with interest. Through the one-way crystal floor-to-ceiling window, she spotted a small girl in a white dress with cat ears?
Bailuo noticed her gaze, furrowed his brow, and turned his head to look over.
But the young lady was not flustered and calmly met Bailuoâs gaze.
Of course, the window was designed to be one-way so theoretically, it shouldnât have been possible to see her from the outside.
But Bailuo was a Light Rank.
His piercing gaze penetrated the barrier, sensing the presence of the girl in the black dress.
After a momentary standoff.
It seemed that Bailuo had not noticed anything unusual.
She spread her Light Wings and flew in the direction of Cyan City.
âThree years have passed, and Bailuo has grown into a reliable big shotâ¦â
The young lady put down her red tea, sighing softly.
âMiss Anna, the White Dove Weekly has been bought, shall I read it to you now?â
The door to the room opened.
A bull-headed man in a suit, with a towering stature, walked in reverently, bowing his head and speaking.
The Minotaur was named Ferdy, a Moon rank adventurer.@@novelbin@@
With his status, he wouldnât need to bow even to a Viscount, let alone a frail young lady with no training ability, who couldnât even defeat a Slime.
But considering her identity from the Royal Capital, Ferdy swallowed his saliva, his tense heart not daring to relax for a moment.
Such a big shot herself had no strength, but at her command, she could muster the service of several Senior Moon Order adventurers.
Ferdy, however was just an ordinary Moon rank.
âEven in private, I prefer not to hear you call me by my name.â
Annaâs face still wore the same gentle smile, friendly and approachable. Only her eyes were icy cold, as if she were speaking not to a Moon rank adventurer, but to a lowly, disposable ant.
Anna even had a strong urge to drive the point of her high heel into the eyeball of Ferdy, that fool, and listen to the screams of pain and pleas for mercy.
But even a problem girl like Bailuo had matured into an adult, and after three years, she needed to change as well.
Amidst Ferdyâs anxious apologies, Anna suppressed her destructive urges.
âWhatâs the news this week? Read it.â
She took out a red blanket from her Space Ring and, with an intoxicated look, placed it near her nose.
The scent contained a part belonging to the Forest Dragon, and another part, to adventurers.
That thick, robust masculine smell belonged to the captain of the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team, Lin Da.
The other two feminine scents⦠must be Tasya and Lia.
Anna, imagining whatever scene, blushed even more, and let out a low âheheheâ laugh, feeling simultaneously angry and happy, both furious and excited.
As an honest Minotaur, Ferdy could not fathom the young ladyâs thoughts at all.
Having established the Phoenix Tail Flower Fan Club, she obviously liked that âEye of True Knowledgeâ, yet bizarrely never met with him, instead focusing on collecting his personal belongingsâ¦
The blanket was recently acquired by Anna, who spent a fortune on it from the Imperial Credit Bank.
A material worth only around 6 million Gold Coins, Anna used her Savings Card and spent 10 million without even blinking an eye.
Ferdy, from a poor family background, was so shocked he couldnât sleep for several nights.
âRoyal Capitalâs People are really rich. Iâve heard that the nobles there have wealth that could buy up several branches of the World Treeâ¦â
While sighing, Ferdy took out the freshly bought newspaper from his chest, its magic ink still warm.
He read:
âThe first piece of news is about the Snow Goose Adventure Team. Under the leadership of Lia, Snow Goose conquered the 14th floor of the World Tree, officially advancing to the Iron Level adventure team.â
Annaâs face was expressionless, probably because she wasnât interested in the news.
Ferdy continued reading, âIce Flower broke through the 16th level, bursting out with Epic Level jewelry, which has sparked hot debate among adventurers. Under the Divine Gift of the World Tree Goddess, the number of Star Rank members in the Ice Flower Adventure Team has increased to seven, with the team leader Isa advancing to level 33.â
âThen the next itemâ¦â
âThe leader of Valiant, Robert, expressed his gratitude for Lin Daâs strategy guide.â
The Valiant Adventure Team copied homework all the way and conquered the 13th level.
With just a little more effort, breaking through the 14th level and its Mystic Realm storyline, they too will become Iron Level.â
Robert publicly expressed his admiration and gratitude for Lin Da.â
Annaâs expression changed, âSo that meansâ¦?â
âYes, the next piece of news is related to Phoenix Tail FlowerâLin Da led Phoenix Tail Flower to break through three levels in three days!â
The strategy guide of Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team is extremely detailed. Compared with famous adventure teams, it is highly sought after by many adventurers.â
Lin Da himself has advanced from level 33 to level 35.
He has become the fastest advancing adventurer in the history of White Dove City.
According to a public opinion poll by White Dove Press, the most popular adventurer currently is Abner with 73,000 votes.
Lin Da closely follows with 71,000 votes.
There is a mere difference of 2,000 votes!â
Ferdy said quickly.
âBuy me 10,000 votes. In the next most popular adventurer contest, I want to see Lin Daâs name,â Anna said, annoyed, and with a slap, she put her teacup down on the table.
The jarring sound made Ferdy shudder and he bowed his head, saying, âI will take care of it right away.â
After Ferdy left the room, Anna glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw a red luxury carriage driving past the hotel building below.
The carriage was drawn by black-blooded horses, known for their high endurance and quick speed, with a single one valued at a thousand Gold Coins. Of course, these details werenât important; what Anna lacked least was Gold Coinsâwhat she cared about was the flag on the carriage.
The pale blue of the Phoenix Tail Flower.
Wasnât that Lin Daâs teamâs exclusive carriage?
Anna hurriedly maneuvered her Magic Wheelchair, pressing her cheek against the crystal window.
With her regular human eyesight, she could only vaguely see a bunch of girls inside the carriage.
Redhead, blondes x2, pink hair, blue hair, brown hair.
It was already dusk outside, night was falling, almost time for bed.
The direction the carriage headed was toward the Goldfinch Districtâ¦
Lin Da was surely taking them to host that kind of vulgar party, right?
The thought made Annaâs face flush even redder, her body heating up as if she had just sprinted a hundred meters.
She took out a cotton green cap from her ring to put on her head, then took out tissue paper and a strange pink round stone one by one, and locked the door.
All the spellcasting materials were ready; Anna closed her eyes, imagining the scene of Lin Da being surrounded by numerous beautiful girls.
A sense of powerlessness wandered through Annaâs body; despite immense anger, her heart felt as though it was being playfully flicked by an impudent finger over and over, too enticing to resist.
âHehe⦠heheheheâ
Strange sounds started to echo in the room.
â¦
Lin Daâs eyelids twitched for no apparent reason.
He was unaware that he was being watched and used as âspellcasting materials.â
He was riding in a carriage driven by a temporarily hired coachman.
Inside the carriage were girls of every variety, from blonde mature big sisters to flat-chested lolitas.
Lin Da, rubbing his aching back, looked at the peaceful scene before him with satisfaction.
Monica and Chloe sat together, each engrossed in a fierce battle on their Magic Conductor Handheld Consoles.
Aiko was earnestly asking Tasya for cooking advice. Lulu, with her arms crossed, leaned against the carriage and rested.
Kafni was sound asleep, and despite the constant noise in the carriage, she was undisturbed in her slumber.
If he and Lulu were only experiencing sore backs, Kafni appeared to be more drained than they wereâ¦
Probably because of overexertion in her training, he guessed.
