After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Bailuo grasped the hem of the black robe with both hands and slightly lifted it, immediately revealing the small calves clad in black high heels with ribbon straps.

The straps were tied into bows, and the thigh-high stockings were snow white, spotless.

The light of the dim red sunset fell on them, faintly revealing a hint of flesh tone.

They were the kind that's very thin yet could provide warmth, made from the twentieth layer material "Velvet Feather Silk," a pair of which would cost 500 Gold Coins.

'The Light Rank really is extravagant.'

Lin Da silently lamented, squatting on the ground, extending his large hands, and grasping the little black-robed person's ankles, one in each hand.

True to the "Velvet Feather Silk" socks, they were smooth and warm to the touch, like holding warm jade.

The soft touch of the skin beneath the socks brought a sense of satisfaction.

To prevent himself from falling from a high altitude, Lin Da held tightly onto the little black-robed person's legs, pressing his cheeks firmly against them.

Just as the sun was setting, a cold wave was coming, and the temperature dropped.

It was like having two small hot water bottles on his face.

The feeling was nice.

"Senior, I'm ready, please take off."

Lin Da said respectfully.

Meanwhile, Bailuo had no issue with Lin Da holding onto her feet. In this world, feet are generally considered dirty and unclean.

A Star Rank like Lin Da holding onto her feet could be seen as a sign of repentance.

He was willing to forgo his pride to express his guilt over the "Xiaolongbao" incident.

Bailuo thought: This seems to be a decent fellow.

"Hold tight, the dean is going to take off,"

she reminded Lin Da below.

With Lia and Tasya in her left and right arms, Bailuo's light golden wings flapped powerfully.

In an instant, they shot into the sky.

Lin Da let out a shout of "Woo-hoo" in his heart.

It was his first time taking flight in the Another World, despite having been there for three years.

The brisk airflow smacked against his face, and his eyelids were almost too heavy to keep open.

Wind rushed into his nose and mouth, causing a faint sensation of suffocation.

"Awooooahhhhh—"

Lia flapped her small hands like a bird, making a strange loud cry from her mouth.

Tasya, on the other hand, clutched at her maid skirt to avoid exposing herself.

It took a good ten seconds before the breathless feeling eased.

The wind suddenly stopped.

Lin Da opened his eyes, and through a pair of delicate calves wrapped in white socks, he saw the gigantic sunset level with him.

The sun was a fiery red, filling his entire field of view.

The sea of clouds lay below his feet, and the surrounding expanse was wide and empty, silent except for the sound of the flowing wind, as if the whole world belonged to him.

Lin Da took a deep breath, feeling a hot emotion stirring in his chest.

Arriving in the sky, free from the constraints of gravity, it was as though he was omnipotent, able to reach any corner of this vast continent!

The mere thought of someday being as powerful as the little black-robed person made Lin Da uncontrollably excited, wishing he could take out the Sword of Royalty and swing it around in a frenzy.

"So beautiful," Lia said dumbly. The setting sun shone on her face, making her large eyes glitter like fiery red jewels.

Lin Da lifted his head to look at Lia, feeling a slight stir in his heart.

Oh no, the little black-robed person has to be an old-fashioned bear as well...

The scene he glimpsed unintentionally made his heart race, and he quickly averted his gaze.

Thankfully, Bailuo hadn't noticed, and she spoke in a calm voice, "The gap to the Mystic Realm is near the outskirts of the Dragon Forest. With my speed, we can get there in ten minutes."

"Ten minutes? That's amazing! It took Lin Da and me three to four hours to travel this distance!" Lia exclaimed in awe.

Her expression of admiration was very pleasing to Bailuo, softening her tone:

"I'll gradually increase the speed of flight so that a certain someone among you doesn't lose grip and fall off."

"Senior, please spare me," Lin Da said with a resigned smile in response to the subtle rebuke from the little black-robed person, tightening his grip on her white silk-clad small feet even more.

It's worth mentioning that in front of the heavy reality of the "Light Rank," Lin Da's mind was free of any distractions.

He even wondered to himself if the little black-robed person might be under eighteen years old. Any untoward thoughts of his could risk being thrown into the dungeon.

So he firmly focused on his head, only thinking about what to do after getting out.

He needed to find Monica, sell off the spoils of war, plan how to spend the 2.6 million Diamonds... Just thinking about it made Lin Da's head spin.

"As long as I can find Monica, everything else will be easy to handle," he thought.

In Lin Da's heart, his teammates always came first. He wouldn't hesitate to give up all the spoils and Diamonds if it meant getting Monica back by his side.

With his detailed knowledge of the World Tree, resources could be obtained sooner or later, but a lost teammate could never return.

"Woo-hoo!"

When Bailuo started accelerating, Lia couldn't help but yell in exhilaration, stretching out her arms, imitating the gliding of a swallow, and she even invited Tasya to join her.

During the days they practiced their Fusion Finishing Skills, Lia had gradually gotten to know the usually reticent Tasya and realized that she wasn't a bad person.

She was a maid who was dutiful and loyal to her master.

Lia considered herself, at least tentatively, a friend of Tasya's.

"I'd rather not..." Faced with Lia's invitation, Tasya declined with a polite smile.

Such a childish act that could cause blushing was not something she could bring herself to do.

"How about you?"

Lia nudged Lin Da's head below her with her foot.

Lin Da: ?

If he remembered correctly, there was poop on Lia's boots.

While searching for tunnels by digging, Lia stood aside, unwilling to work, and he ended up shoveling magical creature dung onto her boots.

Now, the boomerang had mercilessly come back to hit him.

"If you don't get your foot off me right now, I'm going to give you a thorough look," Lin Da threatened.

Lia's face changed.

"Fine, I see that you and that fox are both lusting after Miss myself!"

The brown boot that was stepping on Lin Da's face became even more aggressive.

Like playing whack-a-mole, Lia angrily stepped around, and Lin Da dodged by shaking his head.

"Alright, you just wait!"

Lin Da was furious.

Now at level 33, his health points were incredibly high.

If it came to a one-on-one fight, Lia might not necessarily win against him.

Tired of being perpetually ridden roughshod over by Lia, Lin Da had long wished to turn the tables and bind her with the Dark Whip and beat her up.

"Who's afraid!" Lia snorted, clearly unfazed by his threat.

"Enough,"

Bailuo said coldly, "If you keep quarreling, I'll throw you both off. You're interfering with my flying."

"Oh..." Lia responded weakly, abruptly staying put.

Lin Da was also happy to quiet down.

The air went from lively to silent in an instant.

It was somewhat awkward.

It made them want to find some topic of conversation.

Conveniently, Lin Da was curious about something.

"Senior, I really want to know, who is this 'Teacher' you speak of?"

Why did he have to apologize to that Teacher after groping the Little Black-Robed Person..., and get their forgiveness?

Shouldn't it be enough for that person to forgive him?

It sounded almost as if her body belonged to that mysterious "Teacher."

Lin Da couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

Could it be a case of a teacher-student relationship?

Had the Little Black-Robed Person reached adulthood?

Both hands and feet were small (ps: she was an adult).

All he could say was that this world's Light Rank players really knew how to live it up.

Lin Da sighed to himself.
