After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply Chapter 257 226, the fourth Four-Star Character: [Black Scis

"Don't worry, it's a common ice and fire fusion," Lin Da said with a mysterious smile. "If she doesn't learn it in three days, I'll 'return' your team leader and pay you three hundred thousand Gold Coins as compensation."

Fannis was stunned for a mont. "You're not just finding a roundabout way to give Ice Flower money, are you?"

"I'm not that generous," Lin Da said calmly, sipping his red tea.

Seeing his confidence, Fannis agreed as well.

"Leave the resource gathering in the fifth layer of the Great Mystery Continent to and the other mbers, you just follow Lin Da and go hunt Epic Demon Creatures!"

Fannis, looking every bit the big boss, slapped Isa on the back with a face full of generosity and said to Lin Da, "You'd better take good care of our Ice Flower's treasure. The way you take her must be the way you bring her back. Don't let her lose her virtue."

Isa's face turned red in an instant: "Fannis, are you asking for a beating?"

Lin Da was speechless: "Who would dare to do such a thing to a level 28 Frost Swordsman?"

In a cheerful atmosphere, Lin Da settled things with Ice Flower.

He got on a carriage and headed to another villa.

To hire the other person for Isa's 'ice and fire fusion.'

The reason Lin Da was sure he could teach Isa Fusion Finishing Skills in three days was due to a ga plot.

In the 1.1 version map of White Dove City, there was a side quest called [Ice and Fire Combined].

The players, Isa, and another Fire Series adventure team leader, by coincidence, joined forces to hunt a formidable Magical Creature.

At the critical mont, Isa and the other used their Ultimate Skills at the sa ti, triggering a fusion that dealt a key blow with overwhelming power.

White Dove City was in version 1.1 at the ti, and Lin Da had just completed this side quest.

...

...

Thousands of miles north of White Dove City lies a place nad Black Mamba City.

The World Tree there twisted like the coils of a black mamba snake, and the city drew its na from this.

On a riverside in the wilderness, a girl with dark green curly hair wearing a black dress was hunting the Red Armored Crab King.

The girl wielded a weapon peculiarly large, almost like oversized scissors.

"Cut off, cut off..."

The girl's face was gloomy, and she muttered incomprehensible phrases repetitively.

Her teeth were jagged like a shark's, dripping with thick saliva, and her erald eyes bounced around in their sockets like rubber balls.

She would sotis talk to herself, sotis let out inexplicable laughter; she seed ntally unstable.

The Red Armored Crab King in front of her, even larger than the one Luanwei hunted, was also at an astonishing level 30.

However, in the hands of the girl with dark green curly hair, the Red Armored Crab King was as weak as an ant.

Black wings of Magic Power sprouted from the girl's back, and with a whoosh, she soared into the sky, diving back and forth. Amidst the flashing cold light, the Red Armored Crab King let out pained cries as its huge body fell apart like collapsing building blocks, its legs all severed.

Just a few seconds passed, and it turned into an extra-large plate of seafood sashimi!

"Heh, hehe...cut off, it's cut off." The girl danced with joy and stamred, "Under, underestimate , all get, get cut off..."

Despite her words, not a single adventurer in Black Mamba City dared to underestimate the girl, for on her chest hung a badge with a black sun.

The badge was made of gold, signifying that the girl was part of a Sun Adventure Group.

"Mingli, so you were here. Look what I've found for you?"

A carriage approached from a distance, its lively voice carried over.

A brown-haired girl hopped off the carriage and handed over a newspaper.

It was the Adventurer's Weekly from Cangqing Province, listing cities with active, promising adventurers.

An obscure little city, White Dove City, appeared in a corner of the newspaper.

Although just a corner—White Dove City hadn't made it onto the paper in years.

The last ti was when [Mind's Eye] Abner hunted an Earth Dragon.

Abner was rated by the Adventurer's Weekly as one of the most outstanding adventurers of White Dove City, with the potential to be stationed in the provincial capital and beco one of the few adventure teams that stands out from a small place.

Compared to White Dove City, which would only make it to the paper every few years, Black Mamba City appeared every year.

The brown-haired girl, nad Liqi, excitedly patted the newspaper in her hand, "Mingli, look, another one nad Lin Da, Lin Da, the Eye of True Knowledge from White Dove City! I wonder if it's the person you're looking for."

"Lin, Lin Lin Lin Da?"

The girl known as Mingli, upon hearing the na, had an imdiate change in her expression.

The ecstatic expression on Mingli's face after successfully hunting the Red Armored Crab King disappeared without a trace.

Her long dark green hair coiled like snakes, making a 'sasa' sound, swinging in the wind, resembling venomous snakes flicking their tongues, ready to pounce on their prey at any mont.

"I hate, hate hate hate hate, those who look down on, on , call useless, kick out, Lin Da...cannot, cannot, cannot forgive!"

Mingli's face twisted as she stuck out her long tongue, swishing the gigantic scissors in her hand, thinking to herself: That Lin Da, not only did he kick her out of the team with a foot, he also betrayed his promise to her.

"That, the scum, the scumbag that promised to take care of , I will, surely, surely cut off his magic sword!"

"Ha, hahahaha! Hee hee hee hee hee!"

Mingli waved the giant scissors in the sky, her throat emitting a sharp and eerie laugh that sent shivers down anyone's spine just by hearing it.

Seeing this, Liqi sighed.

She hoped that this ti Mingli would find the real Lin Da.

The previous impostors had all been cut down by Mingli with those scissors, losing their ability to have children.

Liqi didn't know exactly what had happened between Mingli and that 'Lin Da', only vaguely guessing that Mingli seed to have been betrayed and had turned from a gentle and shy beauty into soone completely unhinged.

'What exactly did that Lin Da do to Mingli? He didn't push her down, did he?'

The flas of gossip in Liqi's heart blazed fiercely.

Just the thought of the dark and twisted Mingli having once been shy in soone's arms made Liqi's heart race with excitent.

In Black Mamba City, Mingli was like a huge, unstable magic guided bomb, soone whose re presence on the streets frightened everyone. Girls might be spared sowhat, but n had it rough, often getting beaten up by Mingli for no reason at all.

All of this was related to that 'Lin Da'.

Suddenly, magic wings sprouted from Mingli's back and she took to the air: "Liqi, you, you, you, tell the team leader that I, I will be away for a few days!"

"White Dove City is quite far. Don't rush and use up all your magic power, okay?"

Liqi cautioned.

Mingli didn't reply, her black magic wings flapping as she flew toward White Dove City.

At this speed, she would likely arrive in about three days.

...

The next morning.

A luxurious hotel in White Dove City.

"General, stop being petulant, you haven't lost yet. It's just that those three got there before you," Lady Bai Mian said with a headache, looking towards the pink-haired girl rolling on the large bed. Ever since she returned from the Phoenix Tail Flower villa, General Xilin had been in a petulant mood, shouting things like 'I've been cuckolded, my head is so heavy, I might as well have three World Trees growing out of it' and such.

"I can accept one person, but they were throwing a silver party! You know what a silver party is, right!" Xilin pouted pitifully, "He also said he wouldn't forget about , but right after saying that, he went downstairs to join the silver party! Won't you be angry?!"

"General, don't forget that you are one of the Twelve Belongings, capable of eternal life. In a hundred or two hundred years, when they are all dead of old age, you will still be forever young," Lady Bai Mian said respectfully.

"Is that so?" Xilin perked up imdiately, the tantrum from before seeming utterly feigned. Her moods swung quickly from bad to good.

"General, should we leave White Dove City now?" Upon seeing Xilin's recovery, Lady Bai Mian breathed a sigh of relief and quickly suggested they leave.

They had exposed their identities, and if Lin Da reported this matter and they were confronted by a powerful adventurer, things could get ssy.

"I know what you're afraid of, but don't worry," Xilin said with a smile. "Even if Lin Da wanted to defeat , he would definitely co in person."

"As a general, I have reasons I must remain in White Dove City."

Xilin's eyes glittered, "The world of adventurers is very dirty. Now that Lin Da has appeared in Adventurer's Weekly, I wonder if the two 'good brothers' from Red Heart City and South Rock City will feel upset and want to get rid of the rising star of White Dove City?"

"Although adventurers are more united than ever under the shadow of His Majesty the Demon King's imminent resurgence, people are filthy at heart. What if a high-rank adventurer turns against Lin Da?"

Xilin didn't believe in the good side of adventurers.

She appeared to be laughing and optimistic, but that was only because she had prepared for the worst.

"So, General, what you an is..."

Lady Bai Mian was a bit confused.

It almost felt like one of His Majesty the Demon King's Twelve Belongings was becoming a bodyguard for the adventurer Lin Da.

In Lady Bai Mian's eyes, the reason for Xilin's reluctance to leave was purely to protect Lin Da in secret.

To look for those who would dare to make a move against Lin Da.

As one of the Twelve Belongings, Xilin was no low ranking figure, reaching the Moon Rank.

In the area surrounding White Dove City, the highest-ranking adventurers were only at Moon Rank.

Moreover, they were all from Red Heart City and South Rock City; White Dove City itself had no Moon rank adventurers.

Frankly, Lady Bai Mian didn't think that the adventurers would be foolish enough to engage in internal conflicts at such a critical ti. Read latest chapters at empire

But Xilin stubbornly refused to believe it and insisted on staying in White Dove City to see if anyone dared to provoke her brother.

Lady Bai Mian inwardly complained: This was no ordinary protective sibling; this was extre sibling obsession!

You weren't even invited to Lin Da's silver party, yet you still think about secretly protecting him – no wonder you deserve green hair growing on your head!

But of course, Lady Bai Mian couldn't say such things out loud.

She laughed dryly, "As expected of the General, such thorough consideration. I am in awe."

"Of course," Xilin said proudly, her lips curling up, "Whoever dares to touch my brother, I will kill!"

Lady Bai Mian shuddered.

It was a good thing she had slipped away before the Monster Tide.

Otherwise, had she seen Lin Da's outstanding performance, who knows, she might have made a move against him!

The consequences of that, unthinkable.
