"Thank... thank you!" A soft voice came from behind, and Bexia turned around to see a small figure in a black robe. She reached out and took off her cloak.
"Wow!" Lulu Meng, still half asleep, reacted slowly, but she was just too adorable.
Still with that eye-catching silver ponytail hairstyle, her youthful face unchanged from when they first met. After her cloak was lifted, she immediately squatted down, as if afraid of being hit. Bexia couldn't resist the urge to pick up this little lolita and give her a kiss.
Ever since spending time with Sakuya, Bexia seemed to awaken some incredible attribute. Whenever she saw something cute, she couldn't help herself!
"Lulu Meng, don't you recognize me?" Bexia reached out and touched her trembling head, feeling wonderful.
"Huh?" Lulu Meng cautiously looked up at Bexia, her eyes dazed for a moment before she recognized him. She happily jumped into Bexia's arms, her expression anxious as she said, "So it's Brother Bexia, I thought you were a bad person!"
"Are you alright? What was that person just now all about?" Bexia couldn't forget the expression of that adventurer before they left. That person was definitely going to cause trouble, and it wasn't just going to be a simple trouble for Bexia, Lulu Meng was definitely involved too.
"I wanted to go find Mr. Krom's wife, but it's difficult for me to go to that place alone. So I decided to join an adventurer's team..."
"So you joined that person's team?"
"Yes!" Lulu Meng nodded.
"What happened afterwards?"
"Lulu Meng realized that the bad person was always peeping at me, so I wanted to leave. But he wouldn't let me go, and said if I left, he would tell others where Mr. Krom's wife's grave is..." Lulu Meng looked almost as if she was about to cry. It was hard to imagine how she would handle that kind of person with her weak personality.
"He didn't do anything to you, right?" Bexia immediately asked.
"Lulu Meng was very careful, and I had a protective charm given by my teacher, so that bad person couldn't touch me."
"That's good, but you have to be careful. Don't easily trust others in the future!"
"Yes! Lulu Meng will remember."
"But Mr. Krom really wants to be buried with his wife. They're so pitiful. Can you help me, Brother Bexia..." Lulu Meng asked softly.
"If you don't mind me potentially being a bad person too, then let me help you!"
"Brother Bexia is not a bad person!" Lulu Meng said earnestly.
"Such trust in me makes me want to sell you."
"Lulu Meng is priceless!"
"Haha!" Bexia was amused by Lulu Meng's serious expression and laughed as she patted her head. This pure innocence was really likable.
"But it feels like Bexia alone is not enough. There are many monsters in that place, and they are very terrifying!" To portray the situation, Lulu Meng made a fierce expression, not knowing that her adorable appearance was undermining the effect she wanted to achieve.
"I understand, then let's find others to join us."
"Lulu Meng just posted a mission, we just need to put it up." Lulu Meng handed a rolled-up paper to Bexia. When she opened it, it turned out to be a gold-level mission. The mission was to take Lulu Meng to a place called "Shadow Graveyard!" and the reward was ten thousand gold coins plus fifty thousand adventure points.
"Then let's start by posting the task first."
"Okay! Let's listen to Brother Bexia and post the task first!"
With Lulu Meng, the little loli, they posted the task on the task board and then sat aside waiting. However, this little girl seemed a bit uneasy, or rather anxious. She kept looking towards where she posted the task. Seeing this, Bexia chuckled and reached out to embrace the little one through Lulu Meng's armpit, placing her on his lap.
"Mew~!" Lulu Meng made a cat-like sound, blushing as she blinked her big eyes at Bexia, not knowing what he was doing.
"Lulu Meng is too cute, so I couldn't help but want to hug her!" Bexia patted her head, using his signature move. Lulu Meng seemed particularly susceptible to this move.
"Don't worry, someone will come to accept the task soon. Just be patient!"
"Oh!"
"This is a drink I made. Do you want to try it?" Bexia took out a bottle of pale golden drink, which he had previously made out of boredom using Dragon Power Stoste and magic potions.
"Thank you, Brother Bexia!"
"Enjoy!" After taking a sip, Lulu Meng looked at Bexia with starry eyes full of admiration. It couldn't be bad, right? Bexia had sacrificed a lot of magic potions to create this extravagant thing. If it didn't taste good, then it wouldn't have any value.
"By the way, why are you always wearing a black cloak?"
"It's what my teacher wears."
Undead King Fred? But this seems a bit far-fetched! It's not like you can't stand the light, right? Either wearing a black cloak is a personal preference or there's something wrong with your body. It's not good for such a cute little loli to be overshadowed. Wearing a gloomy black cloak all the time really cheapens it.
"But why do you dress like your teacher? It doesn't look good."
"Oh~... It seems like that... Ahwoo!"
"How about this?!"
"I bit my tongue!" Looking at Lulu Meng sticking out her little tongue, Bexia used healing magic to heal the bleeding wound.
"It doesn't hurt anymore! Thank you, Brother Bexia."
"You're really clumsy!" Bexia couldn't help but tease her without holding back.
"Lulu Meng is not a dummy! Biting her tongue was just an accident... Ahwoo!" As she spoke, Lulu Meng suddenly fell silent, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, clearly biting her tongue again, and this time it seemed more serious.
"Hahaha! You still say you're not a dummy with that look?" Bexia threw another healing light.
"Um~!"
"I'm not talking to Brother Bexia anymore!" Lulu Meng jumped off Bexia's body, but as soon as she landed, she stepped on her own black cloak and stumbled into the edge of the table.
"Bang!""
"Wahhh!" Crying in pain, Lulu Meng's tears welled up. If she wasn't comforted soon, she would really cry. Bexia couldn't understand why Undead King Fred would let such a disciple out. She was just... too cute, making people can't help but want to bully her.
"Little dummy, don't cry. Let me rub it for you!" Bexia picked up Lulu Meng again and used healing light once more.
"Lulu Dream is not a fool, okay?" It already hurt from the collision, and now Bexia called her a fool, causing Lulu Dream to whimper in grievance.
"Alright! Lulu Dream is not a fool, don't cry. Crying will make you less pretty!" It's really a sin to make a little girl cry, so Bexia immediately comforted her.
