Conquer the other worlds with abandon, they've fallen in love with me!

Adventurers' Guild -

When Lin Yu pushed open the door, the lobby on the first floor was more lively than usual.

Several adventurers were gathered around the bulletin board, discussing something. When they saw Lin Yu enter, one of them nodded to him.

He went upstairs to the second floor and knocked on Vera's office door.

"Please come in."

Pushing open the door, I saw Vera sitting behind her desk, writing something with a quill pen in her hand.

She wore a dark purple cheongsam today, with a pearl brooch at the neckline, and her hair was styled in an updo secured with a jade hairpin.

She wore black stockings, the surface of which was smooth and shimmered with a delicate sheen in the morning light.

Upon seeing Lin Yu, she put down her pen, leaned back in her chair, and smiled.

"Mr. Lin Yu, I heard you took on a mission?" Her voice was soft, with a hint of languor.

"Hmm." Lin Yu sat down opposite him. "Lanchi Village, plague."

Vera tapped her fingers twice on the table, and the smile on her face faded slightly.

"I've looked at that mission; it's not simple. The plague in Lanchi Village isn't an ordinary disease; it's very dangerous."

She paused, leaned forward, and placed her hands, clasped together, on the table: "Are you sure you want to go?"

"Sure."

Vera stared at him for a few seconds, the laziness in her eyes fading slightly, replaced by a more serious look.

"Why? Those kinds of missions don't pay well, but they're very risky. With your current qualifications, you could definitely choose a safer mission."

Lin Yu leaned back in his chair and looked at her: "I'm a potion master, this is what I should do."

Vera's fingers stopped.

She looked at Lin Yu, her dark eyes calm, without any passionate pronouncements or feigned profundity, simply stating a fact.

Her eyelashes trembled, she lowered her eyes, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip.

"You..." She put down her teacup, her voice a little softer than before.

"Sometimes it's really incomprehensible."

"What do you not understand?"

Vera didn't answer, leaning back in her chair and turning her head to look out the window.

Morning light streamed in through the window, falling on her profile, her eyelashes casting a small fan-shaped shadow beneath her eyes.

Several seconds passed before she turned back, her face once again bearing that usual lazy smile.

"Alright, since you've made up your mind, I won't stop you."

She took a piece of parchment from the drawer and pushed it towards me: "This is the mission confirmation form. Sign it."

Lin Yu picked up the pen and signed his name.

"And this too." Vera took another leather bag from the drawer and placed it on the table.

"What?"

"There's a very valuable teleportation scroll inside. You can use it if you encounter any danger. The location is my office."

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and put the leather bag into his storage magic bag.

"grateful.

"Perfect timing! I also brewed 1200 bottles of healing potions this time. I'll give you 600 bottles first, since the bags can't hold that many."

As he spoke, Lin Yu took out the potions and placed them one by one on the table.

Vera's eyes lit up as she looked at the potions laid out on the table.

"So many?"

"After I go to Lanchi Village, I might not be able to supply goods for a while, so I've prepared in advance." Lin Yu stacked the 600 bottles, paused, and then said:

"I'll give you another 600 bottles later."

Vera looked at the neatly arranged potion bottles on the table, then at Lin Yu, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she only said:

"it is good."

Lin Yu stood up: "Then I'll go first, I have something to do."

"Wait," Vera called out to him.

Lin Yu turned around.

Vera sat in the chair, her hands resting on the table, her fingers tapping unconsciously.

Her face was a little red, and the fair skin below her neckline also had a pinkish tinge.

"You..." She paused, as if organizing her thoughts:

"Be careful on the road. If you encounter danger, don't be reckless. If you need to run, run."

Lin Yu's lips curled slightly: "Understood."

He pushed open the door and went out.

The door closed.

Vera sat motionless in the chair, staring at the closed door for several seconds before slowly leaning back in her chair.

She raised her hand, palm against her forehead.

My hands are very hot, and my forehead is also very hot.

When Lin Yu said, "I am a potion master, this is what I should do," her heart skipped a beat.

It wasn't because the words themselves were particularly beautiful, but rather the way he said them.

Calm, resolute, neither humble nor arrogant.

It seems he never needs to prove anything to anyone; he just does what he thinks is right.

She had never seen another man like this in all the years she had lived in Wind Chime Town.

Vera took her hand off her forehead and looked down at the black stockings on her legs.

The stockings were smooth, with the cuffs digging into the mid-thigh, leaving a faint mark on the skin.

She touched the edge of the sock with her fingers, her fingertips rubbing the marks left by the tightness.

Then it slid down from the top of the sock, down the thigh, to the knee, to the calf, and finally stopped at the ankle.

Her legs were rounded, her ankles slender, and you could feel the outline of her joints through her stockings.

"When... will you stay for me too?" she murmured.

The sound was very soft, spreading throughout the empty office.

She closed her eyes, and Lin Yu's face swirled in her mind.

His eyes, his voice, the warmth of his palm as he touched her forehead.

……

……

Vera took a deep breath and straightened her skirt.

I picked up the teacup on the table and took a big gulp. The tea was already cold and had a slightly bitter taste.

She leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and waited for her heartbeat to gradually calm down.
