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

Jin Jin fell silent.

She began to suspect that there might be something wrong with the feng shui of her home.

Where did my cute little sister, who used to stick to me and follow me around all day, go?

We've only been apart for a short time.

Why did it turn out this way?

You can't just go abroad to study and pick up a bunch of bad habits, can you?

I've heard that female international students haven't had a very good reputation in recent years...

"Sigh, this isn't right of you. Where did you pick up this bad habit?" Jin Jin shook her head. "You know our Edward family is very traditional. We forbid any relationship other than a normal one... including neodymium."

"Are you stupid, sis? Who the hell cares about that these days? You think all those streetwalkers on Round Corner Street are frequented by men?" Mango said dismissively. "To put it bluntly, relationships aren't important. I'm not interested in that kind of stuff. What I want is the taboo of betrayal, and the unbearable pain of watching your beloved be taken away... That's the essence of the Minotaur Cult... Besides, I need you to do something more than that."

"I?"

"Hmm," Mango said, sitting on the altar with her legs crossed, "a few adventurers broke into my house just now, and I need your help to deal with them."

Why don't you go yourself?

"I already told you I still have to deal with the cost of borrowing Lord Azeroth's power. Besides, those poor bastards obviously don't offer any profit. But you're different," Mango said, rubbing the soles of her feet. "Aren't you going to restore Dad and the others' senses? Ghost Grass is a must, right?"

"That's true... but isn't that stuff no longer available for sale?" Jin Jin said. "I've searched all over Farlans, and it seems that Ghost Grass is almost on par with illegal powders now. Adventurers don't deal with this stuff anymore."

"There are always exceptions. Those adventurers will likely go to the underground labyrinth. They need your help, and they also need Ghost Grass. You can take this opportunity to make some demands of them."

"I'm not going." Jin Jin pondered. "I have a bad feeling about this. You're not planning to sell me to some unscrupulous adventurers to be captured and taken to their tentacle lair to lay eggs and sell for money, are you?"

"Don't worry, if you develop feelings for the tentacle monster over time, I'll probably just take you away from it," Mango said casually. "You probably know the other adventurers."

"what?"

"A man, a woman, a child, and a hyena—they were the ones who brought your body back and dumped it at my doorstep the night before last."

"Great!" Jin Jin slapped her thigh. "Now we have no choice but to go and cause them trouble."

"You were really killed by them?"

"No, my death has little to do with them," Jin Jin said smugly, shaking her head. "But I have to get my revenge, hehehe... Don't worry, I've already figured out how to deal with them."

……

……

Capsule hotels.

The warm midday sun shone through the small, round window facing north, casting golden rays onto the floor.

The narrow single bed was crammed full.

Hua Zhen slept on the side against the wall, with Tia Ge lying on her side beside him, her entire thigh resting on Hua Zhen's stomach. Karula and Shiva snuggled together at the foot of the bed, with Karula lying in Shiva's arms like a little female dog, smacking her lips from time to time, drooling all over Shiva.

The little guy must have been dreaming about eating Da Rou energy bars.

It was already morning when they returned to the capsule hotel.

The breakfast shops were all open, the residents had all gone to work, and the adventurers who lived here had all gone out to earn money. These guys were only just coming back to sleep... Tia even took Karula to take a bath before going to bed.

Tia is quite clean; no wonder she didn't smell bad when she slept in the stables before.

Hua Zhen felt a little embarrassed to just wash her face, rinse her mouth, and go to sleep like that.

So I took a shower before going to sleep.

Three people plus a dog slept in a single bed, but it looked strangely harmonious.

Although, in principle, Shiva shouldn't be in bed.

But she is Karula's mother.

When she sleeps on the floor, Karula follows her to sleep, so the spot at the foot of the bed is reserved for it. Tia Go even went to great lengths to brush it in the bathroom last night.

Tia was very tolerant of this matter.

"It's just a hyena. I've heard that rich girls often sleep with their pets at night!"

Hua Zhen's attitude towards Shiva was one of respect.

After all, if you convert her to Karula's mother, she's probably the same as her mother-in-law.

Making one's mother-in-law sleep on the floor is truly indecent.

I don't know how much time passed.

The sunlight cast slightly skewed shadows on the room floor, and Hua Zhen groggily opened her eyes.

Then, I smelled a pleasant lavender scent.

Looking around, I saw it was Tia Ge.

The warm sun illuminated half of her face, making her fair complexion appear as white as snow. Her long eyelashes were clearly visible, and her soft, cherry-blossom-colored lips seemed to have the texture of jelly.

I moved my feet and felt a furry texture on the soles of my feet.

Looking down, I saw it was Shiva.

The hyena's fur was soft after being washed, and it didn't shed much.

The pleasant touch made Hua Zhen stretch her legs.

I accidentally touched Carla's face...

"Wow...why does this little guy drool so much?"

Hua Zhen adjusted the angle and put her feet into Xiwa's arms.

"Ah...it's so warm."

Hua Zhen's face showed a comfortable expression.

He remembered his old Hakimi dog.

It's an orange cat, and when it gets angry, its head turns round, giving it a regal appearance.

Back then, he lived in a rented room and would sit in front of the computer playing Crossfire and Genshin Impact. The orange cat would lie at his feet, and in winter he could stretch his feet into the orange cat's lap to keep warm.

Hua Zhen couldn't help but feel a little emotional, realizing that she could find this feeling even in another world.

Although the orange cat has turned into a hyena, the texture doesn't seem to have changed much.

No, that's not right.

Hua Zhen felt her toes touch something foreign.

His expression changed, and he swiftly withdrew his foot.

That was close.

Holy crap, I almost got coached by Shiva.

How could I waste my first time in a place like this?

Speaking of which... if only there were some special alchemical potion that could turn Shiva into a hyena girl.

But after Shiva becomes a hyena girl, will there still be chicken rolls?

Wouldn't that make Shiva her?

But isn't this mother-daughter duo really amazing?

The cramped capsule room was filled with sunlight, and the aroma of food wafted from the street outside.

Hua Zhen's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts, but her heart was calm, a calmness she had never felt before.

It feels like you're stuck at the CEO's door with only a Bison gun, while outside you're surrounded by Liu Tao's fully equipped red-armored team, but your nine-slot insurance policy contains a tear, a heart, and seven red cards.

Challengers... you are the ones who should be challengers!

Watch me, the Bison, jump and pull you six sets and that's it!

They possess the ability to watch GG resurrect and can also enhance their own strength through GG.

With Miss Mango's help now, all that's left is to find the "Ghost Grass," and the curse will be lifted. This will allow me to take on more commissions, and with a little attention, I can rise from a novice adventurer to a Gold-level adventurer in no time.

"What will become of my adventurer career...?" Hua Zhen muttered to himself, "Haven't you heard that if Heaven had not given birth to Master Hua, the world would have been plunged into eternal darkness?"

Can the plan to find energy amethyst and become a mine owner really be realized?

Yes, we will win!

I want to make tons of money and live a perfect, happy life!

"Hey!" Hua Zhen suddenly exclaimed.

Looking down, he saw that his foot, which was stretched out in Shiva's arms, had been bitten by Karula.

The little guy seemed to still be dreaming of eating delicious food, clinging to Huazhen's leg and nibbling away, refusing to fall off even when thrown.

"No way! No way! No way!!" Hua Zhen kicked her legs in pain. "We've switched roles!"

"Wh...what the hell is that noise...who's pressing on my hair..." Tia had just opened her eyes groggily when she saw Karula, who was still asleep, hugging Huazhen's leg and biting it frantically.

Hua Zhen struggled desperately, and Shiva was just woken up by the noise when Hua Zhen kicked him unconscious.

"Hua Zhen, you son of a bitch, playing such a perverted game!" Tia woke up with a start, all sleepiness gone. "Eating her feet is one thing, but making Karula eat yours? What does that even mean?!"

"No...no...I, I just wanted to keep warm..." Hua Zhen was shocked.

"You think you're so great? Is someone's mouth your heater?"

"Stop talking nonsense and use your invincible time-stopping ability to help me!"

Although, in Tia Go's opinion, Hua really had only himself to blame.

But this can't go on.

A pure young girl's lips are not meant for such things.

Left with no other option, Tia used her time-stop ability to help Hua Zhen remove her foot.

"I didn't expect... the older sister's bite force to be so strong. As expected of a soldier trained by Shiva, 666 is a dog-type older sister."

Hua Zhen muttered to herself as she applied medicine to her foot, the ring of teeth marks on it bleeding.

"Tsk tsk tsk," Tia said gloatingly from the side, "Serves you right. Who told you to play like that? Karula doesn't know anything, so sometimes she might do something you wouldn't expect."

"Didn't I already tell you it wasn't me who shoved my foot into her mouth, Neil Dorron?!"

"Just fool your buddies, don't fool yourself too."

As she spoke, Tia started putting on her socks.

Hua Zhen steals a glance.

Her feet are beautiful.

It's probably because of poor physical fitness that I don't get enough exercise.

There were no calluses on the soles of her feet, only fair skin with a light pink hue from the blood flowing underneath. Her toes were rather cute, with her toenails a cherry blossom color, a pinkish-white.

Further up are Tia's calves, with slender and beautiful lines, neither too thick nor too thin, just the right amount, while her thighs have a slight fleshy feel.

Hua Zhen watched with a blank expression.

Is it too astringent?

No, it's just that the flowers are in full bloom, and it would seem like I'm not appreciating them.

Suddenly... a strong gust of wind swept in.

Tia Ge shoved her foot into Hua Zhen's mouth with lightning speed.

"?! Waaah!?"

"Hmph," Tia smiled smugly, "You were sneaking around looking at me, hoping I'd end up eating your feet like Karura, weren't you? Watch me strike first!"

Oh my god, that's so right, Tia!

That’s right.

You're right no matter what you say.

But Tia quickly broke down.

The sensation on her feet was so strange that she withdrew from the area.

"Ugh... so much saliva, it's disgusting," Tia frowned. "Something's not right. This whole thing feels like I'm losing out no matter what!"

"Not bad... Wait, what time is it?!"

Hua Zhen noticed something was wrong and looked up at the clock on the wall.

Tia seemed to realize something as well, and looked in the direction Hua Zhen was looking.

The clock on the wall showed that there were still twenty minutes left before it would point to noon.

"Buhou!" Tia exclaimed in shock, "We had an appointment to meet with the people Miss Mango sent!"

The two of them didn't dare to delay and immediately started packing.

Since Karula couldn't be woken up by shaking, I simply carried her on my back.

In less than two minutes, the three of them appeared at the hotel entrance.

set off!

Adventurers' Guild!

……

……

"Ah, that feels so good!"

Inside the tavern behind the Adventurers' Guild.

The place is quite lively and bustling during mealtimes.

The air was filled with the sweet aroma of fine wine and food.

Tia slammed the beer mug filled with pineapple beer onto the table with a loud "ku".

"I feel alive again!"

"Quick, quick, is that necromancer really that powerful?"

"Tch, it's nothing special," Tia said smugly, arms crossed. "I just pressed her head down, and she didn't dare move!"

"Wow, that's amazing!" The eyes of the new adventurers opposite them lit up.

Tia Go was boasting about her "achievements," presumably because she was more impressive at dealing with necromancers than in the goblin cave. So she embellished her story about the graveyard, only changing the location.

Hua Zhen silently sipped her fruit beer, wanting to tell them that the blonde woman sitting in front of them was actually a newcomer.

But seeing how excited Tia was, he didn't have the heart to disturb her.

Tia might be a little vain.

Girls her age are all normal...

As for Karula and Shiva, they still transformed into Ryoko Kuku and cooked.

Hua Zhen was very worried about whether she could support the mother and daughter if things continued like this.

It's very hot today. The sun is bright red, like a tomato.

Even taking the tram and walking the shortest route would take at least twenty minutes.

We can only say that we barely caught up.

However, after searching around the guild several times, they still couldn't find the person Miss Mango mentioned.

Let's just assume that something came up on the way and prevented them from arriving on time.

So Hua Zhen and Tia Ge greeted Miss Anna and explained their situation.

"Really? All we need to do now is find the Ghost Grass?"

"Yes, yes, oh well... I can finally get rid of this annoying curse." Tia pointed helplessly to the ropes binding her.

Now the three of them can only get as far apart as possible, and they have to use ropes to limit the area to prevent Karula from suddenly running out of range... for example, if she sees a bird in a tree, or sees the buttocks of a beautiful woman on the street...

"Ghost Grass... that's a plant that only grows after the twentieth floor of the underground labyrinth." Miss Anna seemed a little troubled.

But soon, as if afraid of discouraging Hua Zhen and the others, she forced a smile again.

"No, but don't worry too much. I heard that many adventurer groups will be on a great expedition this time. They might go down to around the 30th floor. Although they might not pass through the side path where the Ghost Grass grows, you can ask them for directions to the Ghost Grass."

Miss Anna has made herself very clear.

This time, we must cling tightly to the coattails of those adventurer groups.

She also wanted to introduce a few battle groups to her side to help out and do some work.

That would be safer.

However, expecting them to specifically help Hua Zhen find Ghost Grass is almost impossible.

After that, naturally comes the enjoyable rice-eating session.

The guild's occasional special offers are a reward for adventurers who work hard. The food is decent, and at least the ingredients are genuine; they don't use cheap monster meat to fool people.

Tia was still bragging to a few newcomers.

Karula and Shiva are still eating dry rice.

Hua Zhen was deep in thought.

Since we have to enter the underground labyrinth no matter what,

Should we consider taking on a few commissions?

Just as he was pondering this, the surrounding air suddenly became quiet.

"Hmm?" Hua Zhen sensed that something was wrong.

Turning her head, she saw a slender hand placed on Tia's head.

The owner of that hand gently shook Tia's head with a forced smile.

"I heard you've been telling everyone I'm dead? You're pretty cool, huh?"

It's... Miss Jin Jin, the necromancer!
