The members of the Star Moon Adventure Team walked ahead, deliberately keeping their distance from Bexia at the back. Especially the four girls, their eyes looked at him as if they were looking at something dirty, with a disgusted expression on their faces, silently calling him a pervert.

Even the three male companions looked at him strangely! It's normal for men to be lustful, right? Aren't the three of them joining the Star Moon Adventure Team just to flirt with girls? Haven't they seen all the other beautiful girls? Even if they are flat-chested, at least they are seventeen. At least they haven't reached the point of preying on an eleven or twelve-year-old little loli.

This behavior is simply perverted!

The incident in the morning was a big blow to him. Although he tried to explain as much as he could, it was useless. After Lulu's anger subsided, she never spoke again. The black robe acted like an ostrich, pretending that nothing had happened. Bexia's explanations were simply one-sided words. It even increased the level of perversion in the hearts of the Star Moon Adventure Team members.

There was nothing to say along the way. No matter how much he said, it was all nonsense. His reputation as a "pervert" had spread. It was probably hopeless to try to retrieve it. It would be better to remain silent and pretend it never happened. Maybe after some time, they would forget about it. Besides, he didn't have any relationship with the Star Moon Adventure Team. After this mission, they would go their separate ways. In such a vast world, who would still recognize each other? So Bexia didn't really mind.

"...Brother Bexia."

Suddenly, Lulu Dream grabbed his hand, her voice weak.

"Yes? What's wrong, Lulu Dream?" Bexia didn't suffer any loss from the incident in the morning. The one who must have been affected was Lulu Dream, even though she was a little loli. Such things probably weren't appropriate for any age, unless it was for a baby.

"The...incident this morning..."

Lulu Dream nervously touched her blushing face.

"It's my fault..."

"No, Lulu Dream, you always wake up in a daze. This thing definitely isn't Brother Bexia's fault, it's me... I'm sorry!" Lulu Dream interrupted Bexia and lowered her head with a small voice, as soft as a mosquito.

"That...that...I will take responsibility for Brother Bexia!" Lulu Dream seemed to gather all her courage to say this, but Bexia's reaction was a black line.

Huh! You'll take responsibility for me?! What the hell is going on? Why does it feel like the script got mixed up?

Bexia was completely confused. According to reason, it should be him saying that, but it sounded like the worldview was collapsing when it came out of the mouth of an eleven or twelve-year-old loli. And what the hell is with that serious expression on your face? You really want to take responsibility for me!

In order to correct Lulu Dream's outlook, Bexia could only try to reason with her, but what drove Bexia crazy was that Lulu Dream's simple-minded brain couldn't understand. She unabashedly said that she would marry Bexia in the future.

Mind you, marry him! What the hell is this? How did the Undead King Fred teach his disciples?

This is indeed a thought-provoking question.

In the evening, due to unexpectedly smooth progress along the way, they arrived at the Shadow Tomb earlier than expected. Speaking of the Shadow Tomb, it was actually an elven burial ground that had been stationed here during the elven era, specifically used to bury the bodies of the elven race.

The Shadow Tomb, also known as the Shadow Maze City, had a complex internal space. It was an underground burial area built using underground caves. Inside were the tombs of elves who had died in the Dark Border.

Over time, the elven race gradually declined and was also affected by the corruption of Dark Border, turning the Shadow Graveyard into a nest for monsters that thrive in dark and damp environments.

Of course, the name "Elven Graveyard" still has its allure, but there's nothing left for Bexia and the others. The Shadow Graveyard was opened hundreds of years ago, and overnight it was plundered by countless adventurers. All that remained were empty coffins and dilapidated tombstones.

Of course, you might still come across some broken bones inside, but it's hard to tell if they belong to elves or humans.

"Alright, we have arrived at our destination. Our mission is officially complete!" Star, accompanied by Lulumeng and Bexia, arrived at one of the entrances to the Shadow Graveyard, a massive cave. Looking down into the dark space, they couldn't see the bottom, and even when they dropped a stone, there was no sound.

"Just how deep is this?!" Bexia exclaimed.

"Not very deep, just moist soil beneath!" Moon threw a weak holy light bomb down, and the instant it exploded, it illuminated the space below. It was indeed not as unfathomable as imagined, but it was still a depth of about seven to eight meters.

"Lulumeng, leave a mark here. This signifies the completion of our mission!" Star handed the mission scroll to Lulumeng.

"Alright!"

"Hey, is the mission really over just like that? What do we do after we go back?" Bexia asked curiously.

"The mission only consists of this part. Do you think such a meager reward is all there is to it?" Star replied, questioning Bexia. Honestly, ten thousand gold was quite a lot on the mainland, but in a place like Dark Border, it wasn't much at all. Even if it was a gold-level mission, it would be the lowest tier of gold.

"I don't have enough money to issue a mission..." Lulumeng whispered.

"Is your teacher short of money?" How could a little girl like her not have money to spend from Undead King Fled?

"Um...well...I gave the gold card to someone!" Lulumeng explained. "What?!" Bexia was astonished. Could she have been fooled?

"I wasn't fooled! I just felt sorry for those people, so I gave them the gold card." Lulumeng explained further, revealing that when she passed through a disaster-stricken area in the Lopez Empire, she donated the gold card to the local church. The ten thousand gold coins she had now came from her own adventures.

What could Bexia say to blame her for that? She could only sigh and pat the little girl's head, expressing her helplessness.

"I've marked it. Sister Star, here's the scroll back to you!" Lulumeng returned the mission scroll to Star.

"I've suddenly changed my mind. Let me discuss it with my teammates. If they agree to stay, then we'll wait for you to leave together." Star said after taking the scroll. Although she pitied Lulumeng, she didn't impulsively offer her help. With a rational mind, she made the most reasonable decision.

But Star had this idea, and her teammates didn't share the same sentiment. Bexia noticed from a distance that they seemed to have different opinions. In the end, Star apologized to Lulumeng, saying there was nothing she could do to help her.

However, the members of the Star and Moon Adventure Team couldn't possibly leave tonight. After all, night had already fallen, and encountering monsters while traveling at this time would not be a good idea. Besides, resting for the night would allow them to replenish their energy.
