"You too can try to let go of the heavy mission, the justice on your shoulders, and when you can relax, enjoy it to the fullest, and appreciate the beauty of life. Until this moment ends, it’s time to embark on the journey again, wearing your armor and facing the world’s heaviness head-on."
"Otherwise, the heavy world will overwhelm you and you’ll lose your inner self."
Violet appeared confused and said, "That sounds quite ideal."
Lin Rui laughed heartily and said, "Actually, it’s very simple, it’s just about relaxing your mind at this moment! Go ahead, think of nothing, and dance with Audrey. Then, when the dance ends, put on your armor and face the terrifying impact with Audrey! I also kept your sword for you."
With that, Lin Rui smilingly took her golden two-handed sword from beside Violet’s knee and gestured with an inviting hand.
Violet was still hesitating when Audrey had already danced over, extending her hands to pull Violet up, laughing as she said, "Don’t listen to the Lord’s grandiose and fake reasoning, he just wants to watch your beautiful body dance. I can see through his subtle intentions at a glance."
Beautiful body? Subtle?
Violet appeared perplexed, could she own these?
It seemed like in some distant past, the people looked at her as if they were watching a ruthless killing machine, never had anyone had these thoughts about her.
At this moment, Violet felt a bit strange inside, as if here in this territory, others didn’t see her as an emotionless barrier in front of them, but truly regarded her as a seventeen-year-old girl, blossoming in youth.
After all, in everyone’s hearts, the strongest in the territory has always been their heroic Lord. As long as they follow under his banner, everyone can afford to relax.
"Boss, you’re really enjoying yourself. Another devastating beauty is dancing for you. Looking at this cute blonde beauty, I feel like my pure straight girl self is going to be bent." Lin Rui had just watched the dance for a moment before a slightly alluring voice sounded next to him.
Lin Rui turned his head, looked at the visitor, and said with a smile, "Aren’t you supposed to be the woman who becomes the queen? Countless males in the territory are waiting for your favor, are you willing to give up the entire forest for this little sapling?"
The visitor was that goblin-leading mature woman, Dongg Qingxue.
Lin Rui glanced at her, his brow slightly furrowed, and said, "Your breath is chaotic, face flushed, did you just have an argument?"
Dongg Qingxue dramatically covered her mouth and asked, "Boss, are we still the same species? You can tell just from this?"
"..." Lin Rui was really unwilling to engage in such nonsense.
Dongg Qingxue sighed and said, "Yes, I just had a little dispute with other Explorers."
"It’s all because of you. You helped us promote soldiers to Tier Two, and the quality advantage of human troops greatly offset the quantity advantage of the goblins in my territory. So regarding the development direction, we had a bit of a dispute."
Lin Rui turned his head to look at the dance by the bonfire and said calmly, "Not surprising. If you’ve ever organized a gathering, health checkup, or team building for more than ten people, you should know that unexpected events will definitely occur. No matter how many warnings you give, someone will inevitably either remember the wrong time, go to the wrong place, or forget to bring their ID."
"These little things are full of twists and turns, let alone matters concerning the life and future of ten people."
Dongg Qingxue sighed and said, "Boss, you’re right. I’ll take my leave first, and I’ll rely on you to take care of tonight’s terrifying impact."
