After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Chapter 193 168. Tasya Witch's Corruption flares up, Lin Da steps in

Lulu's eyelid twitched, Tasya's contamination was more severe than before she had met Lin Da.

Heaven knows how Tasya managed to endure the nights when the pollution flared up...

'It's okay, saving people is what matters, Lin Da and I are just teammates, I shouldn't care about such things.'

Lulu tried hard to convince herself, holding hands with Monica, shielding Lin Da from the view of others in the wilderness.

In fact, there was no one else in this area; their actions were just a precaution.

If someone saw Lin Da tending to an unconscious member of the Scarlet Adventure Group, his hard-won freedom from the title of the Ultimate Pervert would probably be reclaimed.

In short, with the help of his teammates, Lin Da began his wholehearted and tender treatment inside the tent the three beautiful girls had set up.

The strange rustling noise made Lulu grow even more impatient on the inside.

She bit her lip, her face filled with the anger of someone itching to beat up Magical Creatures.

Why couldn't it be quieter!

With her back turned to them, Lulu couldn't see with her eyes, and her mind wandered wildly.

Fortunately, there were no 'bang bang' sounds, otherwise Lulu would have definitely stopped Lin Da.

The first of the original team members to return was her, the first Witch Lin Da treated was also her.

Even her first kiss... was taken by Lin Da while she was half-conscious and half-awake.

But why was she now watching over Lin Da as he performed the delicate treatment on Tasya, and even helping Lin Da remain undiscovered?

This was not right!

Lulu felt her brain was about to break.

It was like a beautiful wolf helping the team leader, the lustful wolf, push from behind to attack the warm wolf.

Such a storyline only appeared in the most wicked comic books!

...

Five minutes later.

Lin Da breathed deeply, filling his oxygen-starved lungs with fresh air.

Even though he didn't want to, his taste buds sent a message to his brain:

Completely different from Lulu, Tasya's flavor was intense and full-bodied, like a strong spirit on ice, burning like magma when swallowed but incredibly comfortable.

Each had their advantages, and neither was superior.

"The fever has stopped,"

Lin Da sighed with relief.

He touched Tasya's forehead again; it was still about 38 degrees Celsius.

Still high, but much lighter than before.

Tasya's face gradually regained some color, and her breathing became steady.

"Everyone, turn around, I'm done here,"

Lin Da said.

"Eh, the looks in your eyes are very strange?"

"Lord Captain... your pants," Monica said, covering her face with her small hands in embarrassment.

Lulu's eyelids jumped wildly, feeling that losing to Tasya in the 'bragging battle' was not unjust.

Turns out, as a healthy adult male, Lin Da, in the process of the close-contact treatment of Tasya,

experienced what those in the know would understand.

Bound up like a brown-skinned maid in Dragon Skin and unable to resist, even Lin Da's strong will faltered.

Luckily, Tasya was still unconscious; otherwise, seeing Lin Da's condition, it would definitely have been impossible for him to go home today.

Under the embarrassed gazes of his team members, Lin Da calmly adjusted his pants, and everything was back to normal.

"Eh, isn't that shadow in the distance Dawen?"

Kafni, with her keen senses, spotted a small black dot far away.

"We need to untie Tasya quickly," Lin Da thought with a sense of urgency.

If Dawen, the vice-captain, saw him with his teammate all tied up and his mouth still wet, he'd naturally get the wrong idea.

The Azure Sword waved with a click-click sound.

The hemp ropes were all severed.

Lin Da cradled Tasya in his arms and walked toward Dawen.

As they approached each other.

"Tasya!?"

Dawen's usually calm expression changed completely, as no one had ever seen the proud Swordsman look so anxious.

It gave off the strange contrast of a rich young master seemingly becoming a lickspittle...

Dawen took Tasya from Lin Da's hands, furrowed his brow as he reached out with his spiritual power to sense her condition, and found that her breathing was normal before wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Lin Da, thank you for rescuing my teammate. Otherwise, Tasya falling into a coma and being targeted by the Murderous Crab would have been dangerous," Dawen sincerely bowed deeply.

Lin Da felt undeserving.

In some ways, Tasya had been knocked unconscious by Lulu.

"It was no effort at all, no effort at all, heh heh heh," Lin Da laughed awkwardly.

"However, how did you find Tasya?"

At that question, Dawen squinted his eyes, scrutinizing the members of the Phoenix Tail Flower Team.

Lin Da's heart tightened as he sensed a faint trace of killing intent from Dawen.

His mind raced with thoughts.

Then it dawned on him.

Could it be that Dawen knew Tasya was a Witch?

Worried that the Phoenix Tail Flower Team had stumbled upon Tasya's secret, was he planning to attack them?

This was truly... devotion that touched the heavens and moved the earth.

Tasya adored her master, a fact Dawen was surely aware of. Even so, he did not hesitate to conceal the secret of the Witch, taking on the risk of punishment from the Holy Light Church...

Even while Tasya was in a coma, Dawen carried her with gentlemanly care, supporting her legs and head without taking any undue advantage.

If Tasya were not his own longtime teammate, that would be one thing, but Lin Da would not give up on this struggle; he was determined to lure Tasya away from the Scarlet Adventure Group.

As for Dawen, Lin Da could only offer his apologies inwardly.

Lin Da replied, "We found her on a nearby hillside. What happened to her? It looks like there's an issue with her magic circuit?"

"Hmm... indeed, you're right," Dawen covertly watched Lin Da's expression, found nothing amiss, and went along with Lin Da's assumption, 'taking the opportunity to dismount from the donkey'.

"I thought I had repaid the favor I owed you, but it seems I'm in your debt once again," Dawen said after some thought.

"This time, let's consider it a 'huge' favor," said Dawen.

Upon hearing this, Kafni and the other teammates simultaneously thought: What ingratiating behavior!

Back in Red Heart City, Lin Da helped Lia for three years, and Dawen owed him a medium favor.

Just by picking up an unconscious Tasya, he now owed a huge favor.

Who would have thought that the second son of The Mandalas was such an ardent pleaser?

Lin Da chuckled and accepted the favor.

He looked at the unconscious Tasya.

Once she woke up and found her contamination reduced, she should realize that his side meant no harm.

Saying more would be less effective than taking action; establishing a friendly basis first would make it easier for Lin Da to persuade Tasya to join the team.

This Witch Purification was to be considered a gift.

Even if Tasya was reluctant, she would have to seek him out for further Purification.

Lin Da's methods weren't entirely honorable, but they were effective.

"By the way, Dawen, what did you mean when you said that medium favor you owed me had been repaid?" Lin Da brought his attention back to the present, speaking with confusion.

"I came to deliver this to you," said Dawen.

With a flicker of light from his Space Ring, Dawen took out a dark, spiky sphere that was a Demon Core.

It was the size of an orange, filled with sinister and malicious magic power, almost like he had pulled out a baked durian.

The color drained from the faces of Lin Da and his companions.

Lulu, who had seen much and knew much, exclaimed in surprise, "An Epic Level Demon Core?"

"What, Epic Level?" Upon hearing this, Kafni leaped up in joy.

Before Lin Da could speak, Kafni snatched the Demon Core from Dawen's hand, holding it close like a precious treasure.

"I must look ridiculous," Lin Da felt a sense of embarrassment; Kafni was too obsessed with wealth.

Even so, receiving this Epic Level Demon Core was truly exhilarating.

Lin Da had suspected that he might receive something in return like a piece of the Thousand-Change Demon's claws or skin from Dawen and his group.

But he hadn't anticipated their magnanimity in handing over the most precious Demon Core.

The Demon Core was the only material from the Thousand-Change Demon that reached Epic Level.

Combining the Demon Core with Dragon Skin, along with 10 ordinary Level 20 Demon Cores, it was possible to craft the Epic Equipment 'Magic Dragon Soft Armor'!

The Magic Dragon Soft Armor granted a significant health points increase.

Lin Da, with his unique class where more blood meant a thicker shield, was very compatible with the Magic Dragon Soft Armor.

Obtaining the Thousand-Change Demon's Demon Core, Lin Da was beyond delighted.
