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

...

...

...

Bell sat on his horse, watching Lin Yu walk back and forth among the ten people, flipping over one and moving on to the next.

His movements were so practiced that it didn't seem like he was doing this for the first time.

Bell opened his mouth, as if to say something, but then swallowed it back.

As she watched Lin Yu's retreating figure, a feeling she couldn't quite describe welled up inside her.

Just a few days ago, this man asked her to protect him.

In the underground city of Dawn Forest, he had to slash several times to kill even a cave beetle.

What now?

Ten people, three bottles of medicine, and they were all knocked out.

After Lin Yu finished checking the last person, he stood up and dusted off his hands.

Several more money pouches appeared in the storage magic bag, totaling about fifty gold coins.

He took out the bottles of dissolving potions from his magic bag, unscrewed the caps, and dripped two drops onto each thief.

The green liquid made a sizzling sound the moment it came into contact with the skin.

Skin, muscles, and bones, like paper burned by fire, curled, contracted, and disappeared from the edges.

In less than a minute, the ten people were reduced to a dark puddle of water that had seeped into the soil.

They didn't even leave behind their clothes and weapons.

Bell looked at the ground and swallowed hard. "That's amazing!"

Lin Yu put the dissolving potion back into his magic bag, mounted his horse, and wrapped his arms around Bell's waist from behind:

"Let's go, it was just a little incident."

Bell spurred the horse's belly, and the horse continued to walk forward.

She remained silent for a while before finally saying, "Thanks."

"What are you thanking me for?"

"Those thieves... If it weren't for you, I could have fought them alone... but I would have inevitably gotten hurt."

"You're welcome," Lin Yu said. "If you get injured, who will scrub my back?"

Bell paused for a moment, then asked, "Scrub my back for what?"

"Doesn't El Village have hot springs?"

Bell raised an eyebrow: "How did you know?"

"Arya said it," Lin Yu said, making up a story without batting an eye.

Bell paused for a few seconds, then asked, "What else do you know?"

"The hot springs in El Village are divided into men's and women's areas. There is a pool in the women's area with a view of the mountains."

After soaking, you can hire a masseuse to scrub your back. The best masseuse is named Martha, a woman in her thirties.

Lin Yu recalled the details of the game.

"Oh..." Bel paused, "So?"

"So, if you want to thank me, treat me to a hot spring after you finish delivering the goods, and also order two masseuses to give me a back rub."

Bell's lips twitched: "You want to order a technician?"

"It's just a back rub, it doesn't matter who rubs it."

Bell gritted his teeth: "Fine, I'll treat you to a hot spring."

Lin Yu's lips curled up.

"But," Bell emphasized, "you can't order a technician."

"Then who will rub it for me?"

Bell fell silent.

Lin Yu said calmly, "You, when faced with a difficult question, you just shut up."

"..." Bell's ears turned red again: "I...I'll rub it for you, okay? I'll rub your back."

After saying that, she turned her face away, leaving Lin Yu with only a bright red ear tip.

Lin Yu smiled but didn't say anything.

After the horse had gone a while, Bell spoke again: "Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've been to a hot spring."

"Um."

"The last time I soaked in a hot spring was when I was an adventurer."

"Oh?"

"Soaking in hot springs is really relaxing, especially with friends."

"So, you want to soak with me?" Lin Yu said casually.

As if he had finally received the answer he wanted, Bell's voice rose:

"Who wants to soak with you! I meant I'd soak by myself."

"Didn't you say you'd scrub my back?"

"Scrubbing your back...scrubbing your back is a different matter."

Lin Yu didn't respond, but tightened his grip on her waist a little.

Bell stopped talking, but her body was even softer than before, almost completely leaning against him.

After walking for a while, Bell's voice drifted over:

"Um... if you really want to soak together... I don't have anything else to do anyway... and... I'm going to get a back scrub anyway..."

Her voice trailed off as she spoke, and Lin Yu could only guess at the last few words.

"Okay," Lin Yu said.

Belle didn't say anything more, but her tail peeked out from the opening of her skirt and gently rubbed against Lin Yu's leg.
