One night had passed since Ling Xuan returned.
"Ling Xuan, you'll sleep on the bed later, got it?"
Hearing Hestia's words, Ling Xuan couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
Before he could react further, Hestia's voice continued to echo.
"Of course, I'll also sleep in the same bed. This is compensation... I'm exhausted from running around looking for you, you wouldn't be heartless enough to refuse me, right?"
As she spoke, a mischievous smile appeared on Hestia's face.
Seeing this scene, Ling Xuan slightly narrowed his eyes.
"Well then, let's go to sleep together quickly."
Wh- What!?
Hearing those words, Hestia instantly became extremely flustered.
Seeing this scene, Ling Xuan also shrugged!
Looking at his nonchalant appearance, Hestia immediately became a little unhappy.
She had expected to see some cute reaction from Ling Xuan when she said those words.
But now it seemed she was the one who was flustered...
Just a mere Ling Xuan, how dare he be so arrogant!
At this moment, Hestia thought, gritting her teeth.
And Ling Xuan watched with interest as Hestia's face turned red.
After this, there was naturally nothing to say about the night.
Although the two of them did indeed sleep in the same bed tonight.
But nothing happened...
If anything did happen, it was that Hestia held Ling Xuan tightly all night, which made Ling Xuan feel a little uncomfortable.
After all, Ling Xuan, who had just returned from the Dungeon, naturally didn't have the energy to think about other things.
And Hestia was also very tired from searching for Ling Xuan.
Extreme fatigue made the two of them have no desire to do anything else.
After a night passed, the two of them updated their abilities as usual.
Hestia sat on Ling Xuan's back as usual.
Looking at the ability values displayed on Ling Xuan's back.
—Too fast.
A hint of worry also appeared in Hestia's eyes.
Regarding the way the Blessing progressed, she only had knowledge she had heard, and didn't know any details.
After all, before Ling Xuan, she didn't have any Familia; he was the first person she bestowed a god's Blessing upon.
Although she truly didn't know, the knowledge of adventurers...
But in her memory, no one could be like Ling Xuan.
Too fast. The growth rate of proficiency was simply abnormal.
This was no longer the scale of growth, but a leap!
No adventurer's growth rate could compare with Ling Xuan's!
This abnormality made Hestia both happy and a little worried!
It seems I should really consider asking others!
As Hestia thought, she quickly found what she wanted from the drawer.
This was an invitation to a certain gathering, with "Ganesha Hosts the Feast of the Gods" written on it.
At such a feast of the gods, perhaps she could obtain some information from other gods.
.....
Meanwhile, Ling Xuan also began heading to the Dungeon to level up!
But before that, he hadn't forgotten about Ryu, who had just joined his team yesterday!
Upon first seeing Ling Xuan, Xier's face immediately broke into a smile.
"Good morning, Ling Xuan!"
Ling Xuan nodded.
"You're going to the Dungeon, right? Ryu is ready."
As soon as those words fell, light footsteps came from the side, followed by a slender figure wearing a green hooded cloak.
The hooded cloak reached down to her waist, but it wasn't long enough to cover her entire body.
One could vaguely see that she was wearing shorts and long boots that covered half of her thighs, outlining the slender and fragile lines of her beautiful legs.
At the hem of the cloak, one could vaguely see the long wooden sword at her waist, as well as two small tachi.
Wearing adventurer's battle clothes, she lowered her gaze and came to Ling Xuan's side, the eyes revealed beneath the hood were a clear sky blue.
Only then did Ling Xuan see her appearance under the hood.
Seeing this scene, Ling Xuan couldn't help but exclaim.
"You've completely transformed, Miss Ryu, you've got the style of those thieves in adventure stories~"
Hearing this, Ryu's face also showed a serious expression.
"Even if it's Ling Xuan, if you compare elves to unscrupulous thieves, even I will get angry, you know?"
"My apologies, my apologies, but you really do have the feel of an elven ranger."
Looking at Ryu, who was already in disguise, Ling Xuan wasn't surprised at all!
After all, Ryu was on the Guild's list of dangerous individuals, and if she showed her true face, it would be easy for her to be recognized.
After a brief discussion, Xier seemed to remember something.
Her hands clapped together with a 'pa' sound.
"Oh right, wait here for a moment."
As soon as those words fell.
Xier immediately ran to the kitchen.
In a moment, Xier returned to Ling Xuan with a large basket.
"This is the food our chef made today, I guarantee it tastes good. But, well, I've already eaten a little of some of it..."
Ling Xuan, who already knew Xier's personality, didn't stand on ceremony.
"...I'm sorry. Then, I'll take it."
Xier saw this scene, and a steady smile appeared on her face.
"Well then, Ryu, I'll leave Ling Xuan to you."
"Don't worry, with me here, I absolutely won't let Ling Xuan be in any danger!"
As those words fell.
Ling Xuan and Ryu immediately headed to the Dungeon!
Soon, the two of them arrived at Babel Tower.
Walking down the spiral staircase that connected to the vast cavern of the Dungeon, it was packed with countless adventurers.
Ryu looked at Ling Xuan, who was walking casually ahead, and couldn't help but ask softly.
"Speaking of which, Ling Xuan, are you really entering the Dungeon without wearing any armor?"
Hearing this, Ling Xuan turned his head.
He said nonchalantly.
"After all, I just became an adventurer not long ago, and I haven't prepared any armor yet? Besides, I believe with Ryu here, surely nothing will happen to me, right?"
Hearing this, Ryu nodded, understanding why Ling Xuan hadn't prepared any armor.
"Yes, I will protect Ling Xuan!"
