It roared and swung its giant axe, creating wind pressure that could blow away ordinary adventurers.
Ying Ping didn't even draw his sword.
He leaped up lightly, his right fist glowing with a dark red light.
"Destruction and Annihilation Style".
The moment the fist collided with the axe blade, a terrifying shockwave swept through the entire cave.
"ah!"
Lefia had to cling to the rock face to avoid being blown away.
When she opened her eyes again, Goliath's giant axe had shattered into countless pieces, and Ying Ping was standing on the monster's head.
"ended."
With a light step, the floor owner's head exploded like a watermelon.
Its massive body crashed to the ground, turning into black smoke and dissipating.
Lefia stood frozen in place, her lips trembling slightly.
That scene was too shocking—
As expected of the strongest adventurer in the city at level 40, he could take down this floor owner with a single move using only his bare hands.
"Are you okay?"
Yingping had returned to her side without her noticing, and there wasn't a speck of dust on him.
Lefia suddenly threw herself into his arms, hugging his waist tightly and exclaiming, "I'm alright, but it was so dangerous just now! You actually ran over there all by yourself!"
"What if you get injured!"
Fia regretted saying such a foolish thing as soon as it left her mouth—
No wonder people call me a stupid elf. Why did I say such brainless things to the strongest Shadow King in the city?
But Yingping only paused for a moment, then gently patted her back.
"Thank you for your concern, Lefia. An enemy of this caliber cannot harm me."
Lefia looked up and met his captivating crimson eyes.
Yingping's eyes only turn red when he enters battle mode or uses magic to activate Eagle Eye.
At this moment, Ying Ping was looking at her with a smile.
"Lord Yingping..."
Lefia looked up at Ying Ping's scarlet eyes, which seemed particularly captivating in the dim underground city.
Her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to leap out of her chest, and an unprecedented surge of emotion welled up inside her.
Lefia gently tiptoed and, to Ying Ping's surprise, lightly pressed her cherry lips to his.
The kiss was as brief as a dragonfly skimming the water, yet it instantly turned Rafia's face as red as a ripe apple.
She quickly stepped back, head down, twisting her fingers, and whispered, "This...this was my first kiss..."
"Thank you for the date today, I just wanted to express my gratitude..."
Upon hearing this, Ying Ping paused for a moment, then revealed a gentle smile.
He reached out and gently stroked Rafia's hair, whispering, "Yes, I'm honored to have received Rafia's first kiss. It tasted so sweet."
"Woo..."
Lefia was so shy she was practically steaming, but inside she was overflowing with an indescribable sweetness.
"Let's go, let's go check out the 18th floor."
Yingping naturally took her hand. "The scenery there is beautiful, perfect for a walk and practicing magic."
Lefia nodded obediently, her fingers secretly intertwining with Yingping's.
At that moment, she felt that the invisible barrier between them had finally disappeared.
The two passed through the passage on the 17th floor and arrived at the 18th floor of the underground city, which was known as the safe floor.
"Can you show me your magic?"
Yingping suggested, "If we practice here, we don't have to worry about being disturbed by people or monsters."
"Okay, okay!"
Lefia nodded excitedly, took out her staff, and began to chant.
Under Yingping's guidance, she tried combining several spells to create new magical effects.
"Great, it worked!"
When she saw that she had successfully released the fusion magic, Lefia jumped up excitedly.
She threw herself into Ying Ping's arms, crying, "I did it! Lord Ying Ping, I did it!"
Ying Ping caught her steadily, smiled and nodded: "Yes, very well done. As expected of the Thousand Spirits, Lefia is very talented."
The two spent a pleasant time on the 18th floor, and did not leave the dungeon until it was getting late.
On the way back to Orario, Lefia held Yingping's hand tightly the whole time, her face beaming with a happy smile.
She would steal glances at Yingping's profile from time to time, her heart filled with anticipation for the future.
Now, Lefia has a new goal—
That is to become a magic swordsman.
"I'm really happy today..."
Lefia blushed and whispered, "Thank you, Lord Yingping, you're so kind to me..."
Yingping squeezed her hand: "I'm very happy today too. It was a very pleasant time with Lefia."
As they approached the entrance to the Hearth Hall, Lefia was about to say something when a cold voice suddenly came from ahead:
"It seems your date was quite successful."
Riveria stood at the entrance of the mansion, her emerald eyes gleaming with a complex light.
She crossed her arms and her gaze lingered for a moment on their clasped hands.
"Lady Riveria!"
Lefia blushed, released Yingping's hand as if electrocuted, and stammered, "We just... that..."
Yingping remained calm and even deliberately took Lefia's hand again: "As you can see, Lefia and I had a wonderful date. Tomorrow it will be your turn, Miss Riveria."
Riveria's brow twitched.
She took a deep breath, seemingly suppressing some emotion: "Lefia, you go back and rest first. I have something to say to Yingping alone."
"Yes, it is!"
Lefia hurriedly replied, and before leaving, she didn't forget to give Yingping a worried look.
Yingping smiled slightly at her, indicating that she didn't need to worry.
Once Lefia's figure disappeared behind the door, he turned to Riveria: "So, what do you want to talk about?"
Riveria's expression was unusually serious: "What exactly did you do to Lefia? That child seems... completely infatuated with you."
"I didn't do anything. I just gave her a nice date."
Yingping shrugged: "You'll experience the same treatment tomorrow."
"you-"
Riveria bit her lip, a hint of panic flashing across her face, before finally saying coldly, "Hmph, whatever you want, but I'm not so easily swayed by a man."
"is it?"
Yingping took a step forward, shortening the distance between the two.
Riveria unconsciously backed away until her back was against the goalpost before she asked nervously, "W-what do you want to do?"
Yingping leaned forward slightly, bracing one hand on the doorpost, trapping Riveria between himself and the wall.
"Nothing, Riveria, are you nervous?"
He asked in a low, magnetic voice, his expression carrying a hint of amusement.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Riveria tried to remain calm, but the tips of her ears turned red uncontrollably. "I'm just... not used to people being so close!"
Ying Ping chuckled softly, not only not backing down, but moving even closer, whispering almost in her ear: "Then you'd better get used to tomorrow's date."
"Well……"
Riveria's breathing faltered slightly, and her heart began to pound.
She had lived for nearly a hundred years and had never been so close to a man, let alone been so openly flirted with.
She instinctively turned her head away, trying to hide her panic, but her slightly trembling eyelashes and flushed cheeks completely betrayed her.
"My goodness, Lady Riveria, she..."
Lefia, hiding in the corner of the corridor, stared wide-eyed, covering her mouth with her small hands, afraid that she would cry out in surprise.
She had never seen Lady Riveria with such an expression before—
That proud, calm, and highly respected royal elder was now as flustered as a shy young girl!
"As expected of Lord Yingping... So amazing..."
Lefia muttered to herself, a wicked thought suddenly popping into her mind, anticipating the scene where Riveria would also be dragged into this mess.
……
The dining room of the Hestia family was brightly lit, and the long table was laden with a sumptuous dinner.
Yingping sat in the main seat, with the chattering Leifia beside him.
"So Lord Yingping really didn't use any weapons and defeated Goliath with just one punch?"
Qian Shu asked, his eyes shining.
"Ok!"
Lefia nodded vigorously, gesturing excitedly, "Lord Yingping jumped up, then stomped on it with his foot, and with a bang, Goliath's head—"
"Lefia."
Ais whispered a reminder, "Don't talk about this while eating."
"Ah, I'm sorry!"
Lefia stuck out her tongue, but couldn't hide the admiration in her eyes for Ying Ping.
As Ying Ping sliced the steak on his plate, his gaze inadvertently swept across the other end of the table—
Riveria was eating quietly, her long, emerald-green hair falling down to obscure her expression, but her tense shoulders betrayed her unease.
"Speaking of which..."
Yingping suddenly spoke up, "After dinner, I'd like to have Lefia try the Holy Oath again."
Everyone was taken aback, and the sound of forks clattering against the porcelain plates stopped.
Riveria also looked up, a complex emotion flashing in her emerald eyes.
"After my date with Rafia today, my chances of success should be much higher. Rafia, are you confident you can succeed now?"
Ying Ping looked directly at Riveria and spoke, his words carrying a hidden meaning.
Lefia's face immediately turned as red as the red wine on the table: "I... I will try my best!"
Hestia lightly slammed her fist on the table and said angrily, "Hmph, if it weren't for wanting Lefia-chan to improve her strength, I would never have agreed to let Yingping-kun go on a date with other girls!"
Artemis gently patted Hestia's head and comforted her, "Alright, alright, don't forget, you're Orion's number one!"
Dinner ended in a slightly eerie atmosphere.
Everyone moved to the living room, where Yingping took out the golden crystal again.
