After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Warm, smooth.

And elastic.

Lin Da was shocked to see...

...his five fingers enveloping it.

Such warmth and loveliness, spreading from his fingertips, wrists, and arms, all the way to the core of his heart.

A kind of joy that made one's heart leap, longing to dance with joy.

It felt so good!

Little did he know,

Tasya's face had long turned so red it was almost unrecognizable.

It was only because she buried her head in the pillow, much like an ostrich.

Otherwise, the image of a professional maid would have certainly collapsed.

No wonder he is a master who has 'endured countless battles.'

Tasya thought to herself that even upon seeing her like this, Lin Da remained calm, coolly searching for the weakest spot in her Life Barrier with his large hand.

She didn't know if she could satisfy Lin Da when fantasy turned into reality.

This was a psychological battle between a small fry maid and a small fry master.

Both thought highly of the other's technique, considering each other skilled.

"Right here," Lin Da said excitedly, staring...

"Your servant is ready," Tasya said, clutching the pillow tightly.

Crack!

The black leather whip came down.

The Whip of Pain, an epic weapon.

With an attack power of 1, its effect was to deal True Damage and double the pain!

Even Tasya, who hailed from an assassin organization and had a resilient nature, couldn't help but whimper.

Where Lin Da struck, a clear red mark appeared.

It looked as if it had been scratched by a cat.

He really didn't want to continue such harsh punishment.

Lin Da thought this, yet his hand couldn't stop.

Punishing a disobedient maid, the duty of the captain is unquestionable!

"The first whip is for your grave dereliction of duty as a maid in your master's room!"

"The second whip is for eradicating your bad habits!"

"The third whip is for your reckless boldness!"

Crack crack!

Crack crack crack!

After more than a dozen lashes, Tasya's eyes brimmed with tears like tiny pearls, she twisted and turned, each time trying to dodge Lin Da's whipping. But Tasya knew that avoidance would only intensify the punishment, so she clenched her teeth and endured.

With each strike, Tasya shook violently!

But the good thing about the Whip of Pain was that with an attack of 1, it didn't cause too much damage.

Lin Da's large hand soothed over the affected area, activating the Healing Art, and in one go, he restored 2000 health to Tasya.

Tasya even had to thank him.

"Thank you for the punishment, master. Your servant will definitely improve in the future," she said.

Tasya turned around, regaining her aloof poker face.

Staggering, she pulled down the bedsheet, planning to wash it.

"Wait," Lin Da said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, looking at his maid, "After doing such a thing, you want to run away from your master?"

Tasya paused, her cheeks once again blushing a fiery red: "Do you mean..."

"Show me," Lin Da said.

"Let's see the cleaning skills of a professional maid."

Tasya never imagined that one of her dreams could be realized so quickly.

She always believed that compared to her other teammates, she had no attractiveness whatsoever.

This time, Lin Da's words brought tears of gratitude to Tasya's eyes.

The tall, bronze-skinned maid revealed a sweet smile that took one's breath away; she brushed her silver hair behind her ears and placed her hands gracefully in front of her maid's skirt, bowing elegantly: "Master, my apologies."

...

...

The events that transpired afterwards were indescribable for Lin Da.

Last time he visited the Chilang Commerce to sell equipment, it was the bonus service from the elf Queci.

But to be fair, Queci's attractiveness wasn't even one-tenth that of Tasya's.

Moreover, Tasya is a powerful 34-level Star-ranked adventurer!

To have a Star-ranked adventurer serve you, even a hundred thousand Gold Coins wouldn't be enough!

Coming and going, it was as if Lin Da had earned a hundred thousand.

He felt as though he was riding a griffin, with the gentle wind brushing against his cheeks, soaring through the clouds, dancing in the sunlight, and becoming friends with the Light Spirits.

Three minutes passed.

Lin Da had a benevolent smile on his face.

Holy Light enveloped him.

Who am I?

Where am I?

Why am I doing this? What's the point? What have I gained?

"Master, the cleaning is complete. What would you like to do next?"

Tasya knelt on the red mat, wiped her mouth, and a trace of a smug smile flickered in her eyes. With slightly upturned corners of her mouth, it was as if she were taunting Lin Da:

'Small Fry Master, only lasted three minutes? How amusing.'

Lin Da had his own difficulties to express about this.

He looked down at Tasya before him, his heart still unsettled. What masterful skill... no, grandmaster level!

Compared to the elf manager Queci, the skill was the difference between 70 and 700 points.

Lin Da had no power to resist.

He was easily toyed with by Tasya.

"Where did you learn this?"

Lin Da touched his nose, masking his awkwardness.

"Self-taught."

Tasya proudly puffed up her chest, speaking in a standard Imperial Language that was in no way inferior to Bervis's, displaying the elegance and composure of a Professional Maid. Compared to the 'old rustic speech' of Lin Da and others, it was like the difference between a city dweller and a country bumpkin.

Tasya said, "In the book 'How to Become a Master's Excellent Maid' by the Goddess of Maids, Omel, there are teachings on how to clean a master's body. Omel can carve a lifelike magical dragon Titian on a banana with the tip of her tongue. I am ashamed to say, I can only carve an ugly Earth-Traversing Dragon, and I can't even recreate their scales."

Lin Da: ...

No no no, being able to carve out an Earth-Traversing Dragon is amazing, isn't it?

No wonder he was so quickly defeated by Tasya, it turns out she's a master, so there's no shame in losing.

"Very well, I'll allow you to occasionally help clean."

"I am greatly honored to clean for the master," she said.

"By the way, did you have some 'magical' feelings?

Lin Da asked with a smile.

He had sneakily used Witch Purification while Tasya was helping him clean. Explore stories on empire

Even though Tasya's trust bar wasn't visible yet and he couldn't muster strong Purification, it didn't mean he couldn't purify at all.

Trust level means the depth of the Purification, and Tasya was heavily plagued by the Witch's Corruption. Just the surface alone was a lot, like falling into a cesspool, where cleaning just the outside would use up quite a bit of water.

Lin Da's Witch Purification was like a bathroom showerhead, giving Tasya a rinse.

Tasya, who had long been troubled by the corruption of the Magical Creatures, would certainly feel more at ease.

"A magical feeling?"

Tasya frowned, tilted her head adorably, and looked at Lin Da with a dumbfounded expression: "Master... very big?"

Lin Da's face turned red.

"Not that."

"Then, it's... very fast."

Lin Da's blush disappeared, and his face turned as black as charcoal.

"You want to be kicked out of the team, is that it!" he said emphatically.

"That's not what I meant..."

Tasya bowed her head in a wronged manner.

"No other feelings at all?"

"Let me think..." she said.

About half a minute passed.

Tasya's eyes lit up and she said, "For a moment, you were green."

Lin Da was of the yellow-skinned race.

Yet for a moment, he turned green.

At that moment, Tasya was devoted to serving Lin Da wholeheartedly and overlooked this 'minor' abnormality.

"Sigh, I'll just spell it out."

Lin Da was amused. Should he say that Tasya was too serious or too plain, to get so immersed and overlook the pain brought by the Witch's Corruption?

He sighed in resignation and said, "Check the Witch's Corruption inside you. You're a Witch, right?"
