"That's a shame. I'll wait until I'm fully acclimated to the level increase before I defeat Goliath again."

Bai Ye walked among them and chuckled, his tone filled with regret and emotion.

If Goliath existed here, Bai Ye really wanted to give it a try. After all, this was different from the last time. This time, he had Alicia and Liu to escort him, so he didn't have to worry about failure.

Moreover, Liu is very powerful. According to her description, if there are enough magic potions and someone is holding Goliath back head-on, she can even kill Goliath with two people.

To be able to reach this level at Lv4 was enough to show just how strong Liu was. Although he had never seen Liu show her true strength, judging by her various deeds, she would have no problem soloing Goliath with her current strength.

"The next area we are going to reach is the 18th floor. Let's keep going."

When Alicia's voice was heard, everyone couldn't help but quicken their pace. Lefiya and Bai Ye were particularly looking forward to it, after all, they had never reached the 18th floor.

Immediately after the group of four passed through the narrow passage connecting the 17th and 18th floors, a luster came into view, and the appearance of the 18th floor filled Lefiya's eyes.

Safe floor 18th floor.

An underground world filled with crystals and nature, also known as the "Maze Palace Paradise" Under Resort

The 18th floor is one of the few safe floors in the dungeon where monsters won't spawn. Adventurers aiming to reach the "lower floors" will definitely use it as a base, so as long as they can reach it, they can be sure of safety.

The safe floor is a safe area in the dungeon where monsters are rampant. It is trusted by adventurers and is often used as a rest area. Starting from the first floor, the 1st floor, the 18th floor is the first safe floor.

It was a scene of nature, and the first thing that caught my eye was the vast, majestic grassland. A vast expanse of green, barely visible even from the ground, filled most of my view.

Small shadows moving around seemed to be monsters, and there were many crystals scattered throughout the scenery.

To the left was a swamp, large enough to be called a lake, a vast pool of water, the surface a vivid deep blue, with a large rock floating in the center—no, an island.

To the right is an endless group of trees, and it can be seen that this is also a vast forest.

In the distance, a huge tree stands tall near the center of the prairie, and even the hollow in the tree can be seen clearly.

The sight is also guided by this huge tree that reaches the sky, and it looks up at the very high ceiling.

The ceiling of the 18th floor was filled with brilliant crystals, like a blooming chrysanthemum, with countless crystals growing in every corner. The colors were divided into two: the center was white like the sun, and the surrounding area was blue, reminiscent of the sky.

It's not that there is a blue sky in the dungeon, but that the blue sky is formed by the glow of countless crystals. The amount of light from the crystals seems to change with time. Now it is daytime, as if the dungeon imitates the preparations on the ground.

Bai Ye also spread out his wave perception and used his mind's eye as his [horizon] to observe the 18th floor area. It was indeed spectacular, but he was not able to see "colors" and enjoy the visual impact like Lefiya.

"It's so beautiful... I never thought there would be such a view in the underground city."

Lefiya exclaimed in amazement. She always felt the same way no matter how many times she came to such a beautiful place.

"By the way, there's a river on the 18th floor. The water there is very cool and refreshing, and it's very comfortable to wash in. Lefiya, do you want to try it? You're covered in sweat and need to wash off."

Alicia stretched tiredly and looked towards a certain direction deep in the forest and asked everyone.

The journey to the 18th floor left me sweaty and covered in dust. It wouldn't matter if I couldn't wash my clothes, but it would be best if I could clean my sticky body.

At this moment, Lefiya, who heard these words, also looked at Bai Ye with a hint of pink luster like peach blossoms.

Taking a shower....My body is dirty, Bai Ye's body is covered with the blood of monsters, so...Puff puff puff...

At this moment, Lefiya's cheeks were as red as a steam engine, and it was obvious that she was already full of fantasies in her mind.

She wiped Bai Ye's body...hehehe...it seemed like she was thinking of something beautiful, and a nympho-like smile appeared on Lefiya's face.

Liu was slightly startled after hearing what Alicia said, but when he thought about what he was going to do next, he nodded in agreement.

Bai Ye nodded slightly after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he said softly, "Then I'll leave it to you to guard against anyone approaching."

"Hey hey hey? Bai Ye...do you want to..." Lefiya came back to her senses instantly after hearing Bai Ye's words, but before she could finish her words, Alicia rolled her eyes and gently knocked her head.

"What? Do you still want to take a shower with Bai Ye? Behave yourself." Alicia looked at her junior unhappily, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and her eyes fell on Bai Ye vaguely.

Actually... it's not impossible. After all, Bai Ye can't see, and he can still interact with the child. This reminds Alicia of the "storybook plot" discussed with Tiona, which includes a [Hot Spring Secret].

But after all, she is an elf girl of 17 years and 98 months. Alicia never shows her emotions on her face and hides them well. She doesn't show them as foolishly as Lefiya.

Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, but she felt some "regret" in her heart. If possible, she also wanted to help Bai Ye take a bath, but with so many people around... it was too embarrassing.

Soon, the group, led by Alicia, arrived at the place where they could take a cold shower. What caught their eyes was a huge waterfall with water pouring down from a height of about ten meters.

Thousand. Find 9б○壹②⑥②⑦ Mountain Order

The tiny water droplets dance like mist, bringing cool moisture. The touch of the water droplets gently wetting the skin makes people feel a little itchy.

Alicia brought Ryu and Lefiya to a large spring under a waterfall. Surrounded by trees and crystals, their heads were completely obscured by the branches of the huge trees. Coupled with the surrounding landscape dyed blue, it even reminded people of the adjective "forest sanctuary."

Bai Ye originally wanted to be farther away, but at Lefiya's strong request, he only stayed about ten meters away from the river, not too far.

Although he could not see with his eyes, Bai Ye still chose to turn his back and spread out his wave perception in all directions to cover everything.

Lefiya looked at the pale and thin figure in front of her with a flushed face and ears, and took a deep breath to adjust her inner emotions.

Immediately, three beautiful female elves took off their clothes and placed them on the shore, exposing their fair and slender bodies to the air.

Beautiful, wet long hair, jade-like skin, and a drop of water flowing down the slender neck all the way to the thin waist.

Liu didn't have much emotion about this, but started to talk quietly with Alicia and then washed his body.

After all, she was going to give flowers to her deceased companions, and as an elf, Liu naturally had to go there clean. Alicia obviously knew this, so she suggested taking a cold shower.

Naked, with skin as white as snow exposed, she bathes in the spring water. She scoops up the spring water with both hands, careful not to let it overflow, and gently strokes and rubs her hair with the water. The elf emerges from the bath, and she encounters the beautiful fairy of the lake by chance while wandering in the forest.

The way the elves cleanse their bodies is so elegant, which is enough to show how much they value the [ritual]. Alicia is also teaching Lefiya at the same time.

"Wow...Bai Ye, I really want to take a bath with Bai Ye." The Yamabuki-seed elf, whose mind was full of garbage at the moment, stared at the pale hair fluttering in the wind, and had such a fantasy in his heart.

Soon the three elf girls simply washed their bodies, and the sound of them putting on clothes could also be heard.

The elves were all watching Bai Ye's reaction, but they found that Bai Ye didn't care about what they were doing at all. With the power of fluctuations lingering around him, he entered a state of cultivation.

This made people speechless, but it also made people like Bai Ye even more, for being able to remain so calm in such a situation.

Alicia softly called out to Bai Ye, who was in a meditative state: "Bai Ye, do you want to wash your body?"

After all, Bai Ye's body was covered in sweat and blood, and he would still feel a little uncomfortable even if he tried to adapt.

Bai Ye also exited the wave cultivation state after hearing this. After coming back to his senses, he thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "Well, it is indeed a bit uncomfortable to have the monster's blood coagulated on my body."

Bai Ye immediately walked to the edge of the spring and handed Guan Ze Masamune to Liu. He took off his upper body clothes and only left his lower body. His healthy and youthful skin glowed with warmth under the luster.

Although he looks thin on the surface, his body gives people a feeling of being strong. His fair body looks particularly clean and has no other scars.

The originally cursed left hand now looked no different from that of an ordinary person, just a little paler, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Bai Ye bent down, scooped up a handful of spring water with both hands, and gently patted it on his face. The cool water droplets slid down his cheeks, and then he walked into the spring water. The blood in his body dissolved in the water and flowed downstream.

"Um...Bai...Bai Ye, do you want me to help wipe your back?" Lefiya looked at the scene in front of her with a blushing face, and the luster in her eyes almost looked like she wanted to "eat" Bai Ye.

Even his steps couldn't help but move forward, but he was eventually held back by Alicia and Liu. Fate's throat was no longer able to utter any words.

Liu's eyes almost said, "What a joke, I haven't even touched Bai Ye's back, and you, a shy elf, are going to touch it! ?"

Alicia reached out and knocked on Lefiya's head, her tone particularly unkind: "Behave yourself! Where is the dignity of the elves? We are noble elves. What's the difference between you and depravity?"

Facing Alicia's scolding, Lefiya just covered her head in grievance: "But...but Bai Ye is different."

Alicia looked at Lefiya with a hopeless look. She knew that it was impossible to ask this junior to stop worrying about Bai Ye.

Moreover, how did Lefiya become such a nympho? I must teach her a lesson after returning to the clan. Where did she read so many novels and how could she have such filthy thoughts!

"No need, I'll be done soon." Bai Ye responded with a helpless laugh to Lefiya's question. He really didn't expect that Lefiya would have such thoughts.

But fortunately, Alicia was there. If it weren't for her, Bai Ye would have found it difficult to refuse Lefiya. He was indeed not good at dealing with girls.

Bai Ye washed his body very quickly. Compared to the elf girl's half-hour bathing time, Bai Ye rinsed his body clean in two minutes.

After getting ashore, the wave force dissipated from the body, and the wave force of the "explosive flame" dried the pants, and it looked no different from before.

Lefiya could only watch in disappointment. After Bai Ye finished putting on his clothes, Liu and Alicia let her go, then quickly walked to Bai Ye's side and took a deep breath.

What a pleasant and refreshing fragrance, as expected...the fragrant white night is so good. However, under the watchful eyes of the two elf elders, Lefiya did not dare to do anything beyond the limit.

After Bai Ye finished washing himself, Alicia nodded to Liu and then said to Lefiya, "Lefiya, come with me to Rivera Town. I can show you around the 18th floor."

"Eh? Senior Alicia...Seniors Bai Ye and Liu aren't going?" Lefiya understood the meaning of Alicia's words, and looked surprised, a little at a loss as to what to do.

"Don't ask so many questions, idiot." Alicia tapped Lefiya's head lightly in response, then dragged her away.

Lefiya looked at Bai Ye helplessly, her eyes full of pleading and reluctance, but she did not dare to resist Alicia and could only be taken away.

Bai Ye was also startled by this, and then he realized that Liu seemed to want to go somewhere with him: "Miss Liu, are you going somewhere?"

Bai Ye also asked directly. After all, it was not difficult to see his thoughts. Liu nodded slightly when he heard this, and looked at Bai Ye with complicated eyes: "Yes, I want to go with you."

In the past, she always traveled alone, but this time it was different, she wanted to take Bai Ye with her.

Because Bai Ye reminded her of her former justice. Her justice had not been tarnished, and she had never abandoned this justice.

Therefore, Liu wanted his companions to "meet" this child who recognized justice.

Bai Ye nodded slightly upon hearing this and did not refuse. Instead, he followed Liu, and the two walked along the way in silence.

White naturally grown flowers appeared on the road, and Liu bent down skillfully to pick them. This kind of white flowers are similar to white lilies.

It was at this moment that Bai Ye seemed to understand something. Without saying much, he silently picked white flowers on the roadside with Liu.

After washing the body, Bai Hua and the other two headed off... Bai Ye knew some of Liu's past, so at this moment he naturally understood what it meant.

Passing through a narrow tunnel formed by trees, we came to a cemetery with a small clearing surrounded by slender bushes and crystals.

White crystal light shone down from above, and several cross-shaped tombstones made of wood tied with ropes were arranged here.

Even though Bai Ye couldn't see anything, he could still sense the surge of emotions in Liu's heart and the tombstones arranged here.

These are the tombstones of Astraea's family members, and also Liu's former companions. They... rest here forever.

"In order to present flowers to them, I sometimes ask Mia's mother for leave."

Liu placed the white flowers in her hand one by one in front of more than ten graves, and Bai Ye followed her to express his thoughts for the deceased.

Then Liu reached into his bag, took out bottles of wine, and sprinkled them on several specific graves in order.

"The faction I once belonged to was called the [Asteria Familia]... Serving under the goddess of justice and order, Astralia, I was quite famous back then."

"Our [Family] not only explores the labyrinth, but also takes responsibility for eliminating those who disrupt the peace of the city. Therefore, many people are against us."

Back then, she swore an oath with the emblem engraved with the sword and wings of justice and the name of the main god (Asteria), and together with her companions, she would do her best to maintain the peace of Orario.

Liu softly recounted her past experiences. Bai Ye did not say anything, but listened quietly to her.

"One day, our hostile Families set a trap in the dungeon, killing all of us except myself... I couldn't even retrieve their bodies. All I could do was bury my companions' belongings on this 18th floor."

"Yes. They used to love this floor. My friends always joked that if we died, they would bury us here."

Perhaps recalling what happened at that time, Liu's mouth corners turned down and his eyes were dark and melancholy.

Bai Ye was filled with emotion at this moment. No one had ever thought that all this would come true.

Novel Group ⑨0㈨○⑨

"I survived and told Goddess Astraea everything, then bowed my head and begged her to leave the city alone. Seeing my repeated pleas, the lady accepted."

"I just don't want that gentleman to see me being controlled by resentment and passion."

"I, harboring a personal grudge for the loss of my companions, am alone in my quest for revenge against the enemy Families."

"Sneak attacks, surprise attacks, traps, attacks of all means—the enemy [Family] was destroyed."

With the help of just one elf, the hostile faction that was once a huge organization was wiped out.

This is why her name was on the guild's dangerous list.

His excessive act of revenge incurred the resentment of adventurers, organizations, merchants, and other parties, and they even offered a reward for his capture.

The price of such reckless, blatant actions... Even considering past achievements, the guild had no choice but to punish Ryu. Furthermore, the fact that some staff members suspected of colluding with the "Family" were also harmed made it impossible for them to ignore it.

As Astraea, who had fled outside the city, was still alive and her favor remained, a strong wind blew through every corner of the city, causing unrest driven by anger.

This was the first time that Liu took the initiative to mention the past to Bai Ye. Those bits and pieces of the "dark years" echoed in Liu's memory, and now he finally said it out loud.

From Bai Ye's perspective, what Liu did was indeed right.

He is not a saint. He mainly likes to take revenge. If you stab me, I will fight you back.

"Until finally... I met you, Bai Ye."

"You, Ahmid, and Lord Dean Kate, you all used your own methods to help me out of this predicament. I'm truly... grateful to you, but I have no way to repay you."

Liu looked at Bai Ye in front of him, the lines of his lips softened slightly, and he looked at the boy's profile quietly, as if it was the most precious thing in the world.
