Adventurer, did you revive today by watching the ads too?

Tia and Huazhen bent down almost simultaneously and lifted the mother and daughter up.

"Sorry, sorry... Please excuse the poor little one, she has some bad habits." Hua Zhen laughed it off as she cleared away Karula's plates.

Shiva is alright.

It was originally a female hyena, so expecting it to have any manners or eating habits was unrealistic.

But Carla... well, she's still a mature woman, no matter what.

Hua Zhen had thought before, when she was in the capsule hotel, that a mature woman should still eat in a proper manner.

However, neither he nor Tia had the mood or energy to teach her at the time.

Once the curse is resolved, the education of the mature woman cannot be neglected.

To put it bluntly, you have to raise Carula to be the kind of gentle, sweet, and mature woman who will pat your thigh softly and say, "Come to Mommy, my sweet baby," and be a good mother who will use her mature body to soothe your fatigue and exhaustion after a long day, and be close to Miss Anna.

The project will be tentatively named "Kalura's Household Affairs".

Oh, that's so true!

"The little girl is quite cute," the bearded man said, a strange light gleaming in his eyes. "You're adventurers too, aren't you? Why did you bring a child here to eat? Is she your child, Yaoyao?"

"Well……"

Hua Zhen and Tia Ge exchanged a childlike glance and finally nodded.

Yes, we have a child.

Tia felt somewhat helpless.

To be honest, she and Hua Zhen didn't want strangers to know that they were suffering from the cruel torment of the curse.

It's important to know that the adventurer community is a mixed bag.

There are kind-hearted and helpful people who will lend a helping hand to other adventurers in distress when they encounter them outside, and will also donate to the monastery's orphanage free of charge.

Of course, there are also those utterly wicked individuals who not only cheat and swindle, but also lure female adventurers to the dens of tentacle monsters, then sell the eggs they lay on the black market for money.

If anyone finds out you have a curse, they will immediately transform into a vulture circling in the sky, watching you constantly, ready to devour your value in life and your wealth after death.

Even if you're not dead yet, they might still find a way to kill you.

Just as Hua Zhen blamed everything that happened in the cemetery on the monster skeletons, those bad guys will also blame everything on the curse.

"So...she really is your child?"

The man seemed to have caught something red-handed, and his eyes immediately revealed a hostile expression.

"What, what are you doing...?"

Tia was somewhat surprised.

Because she could clearly sense that the bearded man's unfriendly gaze was directed at her.

Dude, what did I do to you?

Not only that, but even the adventurers at the table with the bearded man were looking at Tia with a strange expression.

"Young man," the bearded man turned his gaze to Hua Zhen, "although the truth is heartbreaking, I have to tell you something sad."

Hua Zhen also sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

How did things turn out like this after just a couple of sentences?

"W-What's wrong?"

The bearded man's expression was solemn, as if he were about to pronounce a death sentence: "Actually... this beautiful silver-haired little girl is not your child."

Why didn't you say so sooner!

Damn, is that all? Anyone with eyes can see that, even if they're not blind.

How could Karula be my child?

She's clearly my future mom!

"There's no way you two could have a child with silver hair." The bearded man shook his head. "Let me be blunt, your wife is definitely having an affair. She's been cheated on by Wu Tao. You're raising someone else's child."

Hua Zhen nodded.

It really is.

I don't even know who Karula's biological parents are.

Although Shiva used to raise them, I will be raising them now and from now on.

It's about that Wu Tao guy you mentioned later... what, I'm not really sure...

All I know is that Liu Tao launched a fierce attack.

That being said.

But Hua Zhen was still a little curious about Tia Ge's romantic history.

It's impossible not to be interested. You'd be more or less concerned about a beautiful young woman living in the same room as you.

"Aren't you angry?" The bearded man held his wine glass, his expression serious. "If needed, we can tie up this promiscuous woman for you, interrogate her about her lover's whereabouts, and then hand him over to you to deal with as you see fit."

The adventurers at his table nodded, their auras suggesting they were about to unleash a raging holy fire, just waiting for Hua Zhen's command so they could burn Tia Ge, that unfaithful woman, to death.

Hua Zhen was shocked.

Kidnapping someone in public?

Holy crap... are you guys really that righteous?

Although she was shocked, Hua Zhen quickly composed herself.

"Thank you very much, but it's not necessary," Hua Zhen said, placing her hand affectionately on Tia Ge's shoulder. "Our relationship is actually quite good, but we don't have any biological children because I... uh, actually Tia Ge... never mind, it's because we're both infertile. This little guy was adopted from an orphanage and he's a bit slow."

Actually, Hua was really going to sing Tia's song.

But after thinking about it, I realized it wasn't a good idea. Saying it was my own words made me feel a little embarrassed for some reason.

So let's just have the two of them go together.

Hua Zhen wore a gentle yet polite smile.

The adventurers at the next table were filled with awe.

Only Tia was so angry that her lips twitched, feeling like she was being falsely accused but powerless to refute it.

Who...who is infertile?!

Who has been with Wu Tao?!

I'm such a grass-fed log!

"Oh, I see. I'm so sorry," the bearded man said somewhat awkwardly. "It's my fault. As an apology, I'll treat you to this meal."

Tia originally wanted to challenge the other side.

But the other party's attitude of admitting their mistake was so good that she felt a little embarrassed.

"That's more like it," Tia muttered. "Aren't you guys being a bit too nosy? You're not professional adulteress catching people cheating... Or do you make extra money this way?"

"Hey, that's not quite right." The bearded man and his companion laughed. "Although this is our first meeting, if you've read the Adventurer's Daily, you should know our names."

Hua Zhen and Tia Ge were taken aback.

Immediately, the bearded man introduced himself in a hearty manner.

"We belong to the 'Bull Hunter' chapter, and protecting pure love is our chapter's belief. Therefore... even if it's not a commissioned mission, as long as infidelity comes into our sight, we will take action."

"Wow, it's actually... a gold-level adventurer team, the Bull Hunters?!" Tia was taken aback.

"That's right, my usual restaurant is closed today. I just finished my quest and wanted to grab a bite at the guild. I'm so sorry if I offended you. My name is Niu Si, and I'm the captain of the first squad."

No wonder……

Hua Zhen glanced at the adventurers at the next table. Their equipment was all quite excellent. Although he didn't know the specific types, it was clear that they were items he couldn't afford.

Karula ignored them; she and Shiva were still enthusiastically showing off their barbecue set meal.

In just a short while, the plate was empty.

"Your child doesn't seem to be full yet, let's order her some more food!" Niu Si snapped his fingers and called over a waiter. "Bring five more individual deluxe versions of Gu Gu Roasted Meat, marinated lobster, a deluxe fruit and vegetable platter, and some noodles for the next table. Put the bill on my tab."

"Okay, meow~" The catgirl waitress smiled and took notes.

"So much!" Tia licked her lips. "Hehehe, Huazhen, do you think we can finish it all?"

"If you can't finish it, just pack it up and take it home. There's no packaging fee here," Niu Si said generously. "Looks like you two are newbies who haven't been in this business for long, right? Being adventurers as a couple is a bit of a miscalculation, but it's not bad either. At least you don't have to worry about someone stealing your partner."

"Stealing someone's man?" Tia asked.

“Yes,” Niu Si said, “similar things happen all the time. I saw this kind of thing when I was a newbie. A teammate was working hard to earn money by taking on commissions so that his girlfriend could have a better life. But one day he lost a few fingers while working on a commission. He barely escaped with his life, but when he got home, he found another strange man lying in his girlfriend’s bed. The positions that his girlfriend used to refuse to do were now being done by this other man without any restraint.”

"Wow..." Tia blinked, turned to Hua Zhen and said, "This woman's level of depravity is just as bad as my mother's."

"And then what happened?"

Hua Zhen didn't care about Tia Go's mother, Lonos; he only cared about whether blood would flow like a river next.

"My teammate got angry. Before I could react, he rushed up and killed them both, feeding their bodies to wild dogs," Niu Si said. "He told me he had killed people and couldn't stay there any longer. He said he would leave and gave me all his money to hurry up so I wouldn't be mistaken for an accomplice. I only realized something was wrong when I was halfway there. If he was leaving, how could he leave without money? So I turned back and found that my teammate had committed suicide... He was my best friend since childhood."

Niu Si smiled: "You might think I'm being a bit long-winded, but what I'm trying to say is that I've seen many similar cases. In today's world, it's not easy for either men or women to maintain a sincere love. People nowadays take relationships too lightly, and they can even tarnish a genuine emotion without hesitation... Children, remember, pure love is the right kind. True love is the kind that can still shine like a jewel even after being tested and tormented!"

"So, this is for you," Niu Si said, taking out a miniature, pure white goddess sculpture. He said with a sigh, "So, come and worship the goddess of pure love, Alice, and may your relationship grow stronger and stronger."

Although the story is very good.

But for some reason, Hua Zhen always felt that the other party was somewhat like a missionary.

"But... I don't really like religion or anything like that," Hua Zhen said.

"Me too," Tia agreed.

"It's nothing. Everyone's beliefs shouldn't be forced," Nius said, but he didn't put the goddess statue away. "Sigh, my best friend doesn't believe in Alice either. Although it's his personal freedom, if he had believed in Alice, perhaps he wouldn't have ended up like that."

They really are missionaries...

You're a damn friend!

"Do you, the Bull Hunters, all worship the Goddess of Pure Love?" Tia asked.

"Of course!" Nius said. "The only requirement to join the Minotaur band is to worship the goddess of pure love, Alice, and to hunt down all Minotaur-like creatures... in other words, to be a minotaur. In short, wherever there are bulls, there is our Minotaur band!"

"So... what do you think of the Minotaur Chapter?" Hua Zhen asked curiously. "I heard that this chapter has the opposite ideology to yours, and they've recently been promoted to a Gold Adventurer Chapter."

"Pah! Those shameless bastards, one day they'll tear their loincloths to shreds!"

Nius and his companions immediately showed expressions of disgust.

"Remember this, kid. They will be utterly humiliated and crushed under our feet. Our warband is preparing for a new great expedition to secure their lives!"

The Great Expedition?

Hua Zhen and Tia Ge exchanged a glance.

They had heard of the word.

The so-called "Great Expedition" refers to the strategy for conquering the underground labyrinth.

Farlans has existed for over a hundred years, but no one has yet been able to conquer the deepest part of the underground labyrinth. The current record is 41 floors, held by the "Shining Wings" team, a record that remains unbroken.

The underground labyrinth is not a single underground palace landscape.

Due to the influence of unknown magical factors inside, the scenery becomes more and more unique the deeper you go. You can even see the sea, sky and grassland that you could only see on the ground. These beautiful landscapes also breed countless dangers.

Therefore, some people have said that the underground labyrinth is like a woman with a strong sense of contrast.

On the surface, she appears pure and innocent, a harmless and obedient girl.

In reality, he was a dissolute spendthrift who privately smoked, gambled, drank, and was lazy and unsociable.

Therefore, conquering this shopping spree has become an essential task for every adventurer.

Adventurers who want to enter the dungeon must climb down one floor at a time on their own two legs, and naturally they must climb back up one floor at a time. Although the Adventurers' Guild has prepared a set of underground tracks, it has only reached the twentieth floor so far.

This round trip takes quite a while.

If you want to reach the 40th floor, even with a main route map, it will take at least a month. Along the way, there will be countless dangerous monsters that adventurers will encounter to hone their skills and earn extra materials.

Therefore, the act of thoroughly exploring dungeons is called "the Great Expedition" by adventurers.

"Speaking of which, many adventurer groups will be joining this great expedition," Nius said. "It's a massive undertaking, with at least ten Gold-level groups and two Platinum-level groups participating. Those damned minotaurs just returned to rest and recuperate; they won't be going down anytime soon. When we minotaur hunters return, we must issue them a challenge!"

After finishing his beer, Niu Si said, "You guys can go down and take a look if you have the chance. Maybe you can make a small fortune by going up to the twentieth floor in one go... at least you can make sure the kids eat well."
