After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Lulu and the others looked at Lin Da with strange eyes. On this continent, no one would be excited about being called a small fry, right?

No way, right?

In fact, Lin Da just wanted to teach Tasya a lesson with his big stick.

However, considering the huge difference in strength between them, he dismissed the idea.

"You misunderstood me," Lin Da mused. "I think you just need to keep your cool demeanor, no need to call me a small fry."

"I see, please forgive my rudeness," Tasya bowed slightly.

"Alright, let's go inside, I'll show you around the villa."

Lin Da opened the door, and everyone entered in single file.

They hadn't had lunch since coming out of the World Tree.

Four girls went to the kitchen to prepare food, while Lin Da took Tasya on a tour around the villa.

"This is the trophy room, where items acquired during adventures by the Phoenix Tail Flower are displayed. Remember to dust regularly, and don't let them get covered in dust."

"This is the bathroom."

"This is my private study. Knock before you enter."

"The second floor has bedrooms. There are many empty rooms, choose one as you see fit."

Lin Da introduced Tasya to each room one by one.

The quiet hallway echoed with their footsteps.

Tasya silently followed behind Lin Da, her green eyes shimmering with a serene and peaceful light. Though it was her first time in this villa, Tasya felt a sense of coming home.

In the past, even though she stayed with the Scarlet Adventure Group and was a member there, she always felt like a rootless duckweed.

Until she came to this villa.

Tasya's spirit as a professional maid burned fiercely; as soon as Lin Da's introduction was over, she quickly headed to the washroom with a bucket and mop to start cleaning the hallway.

Since Lin Da hadn't hired any servants, the cleanliness inside the villa was just passable, with the hallway being a trouble area riddled with footprints.

Each footprint felt like a stomp on Tasya's face.

As a professional maid, these footprints were as provocative to her as the challenges from magical creatures.

Tasya rolled up her sleeves and began a thorough cleaning in the hallway.

Lin Da felt that she was quite enthusiastic about cleaning, so he didn't stop her.

'It seems like every member of the team in the game is a bit unusual.'

Lin Da chuckled and shook his head, then went to the kitchen to help the teammates prepare the food.

Before they knew it, it was afternoon.

The orange rays of the setting sun bathed the earth.

On a long table in the living room, an array of delicious dishes was displayed, and their fragrance wafted out the windows, making a bunch of bachelors below howl with desire.

Everyone in Goldfinch District knew that Lin Da and a group of beautiful girls lived in this large villa.

They couldn't even begin to imagine what was happening inside.

Otherwise, they'd be so jealous they wouldn't eat for three days.

"Mission accomplished."

Lin Da sat on a round stool at the head of the table, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the feast:

Rack of lamb from the 5th level, bear paw soup from the 10th level, fish-flavored shredded pork, braised pork, kung pao chicken, spicy diced chicken, lamb and radish dumplings... all made with ingredients rich in magic power and were delicacies from Lin Da's hometown.

Compared to this world's mushroom soup and pizza, the girls preferred Chinese cuisine.

A whole table of dishes was not solely prepared by Lin Da; some were made under his guidance by chef Monica and Lulu.

Speaking of which, Lin Da looked at the other two with a somewhat helpless expression.

Lia was a disaster in the kitchen, only capable of producing burnt dark cuisine, a fact that Lin Da had accepted; he never expected Lia to cook.

But Isa's cooking was just as disastrous as Lia's; both were equally competent in their inability to cook— the kind that would get kicked out of a restaurant after just one day of work!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"My energy is all spent on practice," Lia declared emphatically, grabbing a knife and fork ready to dig in.

Isa was somewhat embarrassed: "Me too..."

She had wanted to show off her cooking skills in front of Lin Da.

It was a total mess.

"Master, please allow me to handle such matters," Tasya stood behind Lin Da, proudly puffing out her chest, "Culinary skills are a fundamental part of a maid's training."

Lin Da nodded, "I'll leave the meals to you."

"Thank you for your trust, Master," said Tasya, standing even straighter, her gaze sweeping contemptuously over Isa and Lia, the 'cooking scraps,' with a provocative smile playing at the corner of her mouth.

"This chick really gets on my nerves," Lia said irritably.

Isa comforted herself inside, "It's fine this way; after all, I have no interest in Lin Da, so it's none of my business what these people fight over."

Lin Da raised his glass.

"To celebrate the successful extermination of the Epic Monster."

"Cheers!"

"CheersX4!"

The crisp clinking of glasses and the aroma of the wheat beer caused a certain Scrap God, lying unconscious on the second floor, to twitch his nose and dribble a viscous drool from the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, hey hey, wheat beer, tasty, hehehe..."

The celebration started off harmoniously.

Everyone was talking, laughing, passing dishes, raising glasses, chatting.

Until Isa, cheeks flushed and slightly drunk, accidentally said, "Although Lia is quite dense, I think she's a nice person."

Essentially, she was praising Lia.

On hearing this, Lia thought, Oh, you think I'm dense?

Using her Fire Fighting Qi, which kept her from getting too drunk, Lia quickly knocked Isa out in just a few moments.

Lulu joined the fray too.

Tasya shook her head inwardly at their lack of manners.

"Master, may I go clean your room? I really can't stand the smell of alcohol here."

Tasya wanted to seize this opportunity to show off.

While Lulu and Lia were childishly bickering over drinks, she was diligently cleaning Lin Da's room.

Her competence was immediately apparent.

Tasya also harbored a secret desire: to monopolize Lin Da's big bed!

The thought of it being where Lin Da rested each night excited her, and her body grew warm.

"My room is... a bit messy. I've been too focused on devising strategies for fighting the Goblin Prince and haven't tidied up," Lin Da said.

Lin Da nodded, "Go ahead, my sheets are a bit dirty too, change them for new ones."

"Yes."

Tasya bowed gracefully and proceeded toward the upstairs staircase.

When she was out of sight of everyone, Tasya's speed increased instantly, appearing like the wind outside Lin Da's room.

"This is the master's room"

Tasya's heart raced, feeling the thrill of a thief on their first heist, afraid of getting caught.

With trembling hands, she pushed open the door.

The interior was decorated in a very simple style.

A white, large bed, a desk, shelves filled with various books, a wardrobe, with hardly any decorations.

Tasya carefully examined each piece of furniture.

Her gaze settled on the white, large bed.

This was where Lin Da had slept.

Lin Da changed clothes, cultivated, and crafted strategies on this bed...

Tasya's heartbeat suddenly tripled in speed!
