"Hahahahaha!"
Accompanied by the System prompt in his ear, the girl once again laughed so hard she rocked back and forth, her chest trembling.
But to Zuo Zuo and Little Treasure, Lynn's words felt like courting death in the most extreme way. If what he said earlier was a nasty joke with a hint of narcissism,
then this current line—
this was outright provocative teasing directed at a Root-level menace right in front of them!
It was basically saying she was bored with living so long!
You do you.
But don't expect people not to test you!
This was just asking for trouble!
Zuo Zuo and Little Treasure were about to split from shock.
The girl slowly reined in the smile on her face, but the amusement in her eyes remained unchanged. She hovered around Lynn and said softly:
"As expected, you do have a good mouth. But you're actually the first man who's dared to say something like this to me in person. Don't worry, as long as you cooperate and help me find the Colossus's Brain, I can definitely guarantee your safety."
"After all, as you said yourself, I have no reason to risk offending the Root forces behind you to take your life, right?"
After saying this,
she drifted slightly forward, suspended in the air, her chin gently brushing Lynn's cheek as she whispered next to his ear:
"Of course, if you cooperate well."
"Actually, I wouldn't mind letting you taste what the Desire Goddess feels like afterward. How does that sound?"
She pulled away, leaving Lynn with a clearly teasing, sensuous smile.
Zuo Zuo and Little Treasure were stunned, staring at the playful, mischievous girl like shocked statues, then turned to look at Lynn, who seemed to be seriously considering the matter.
Clearly,
they never expected the Root Mother Tree to proactively make such an obviously suggestive offer!
What does "taste the Desire Goddess" even mean!
Brain!
I know you just say these things with your mouth, you surely wouldn't actually agree to cooperate with that evil Root over such an outrageous condition!
You still have principles and a bottom line!
o(≧口≦)o
Zuo Zuo widened her eyes and asked in a very shaky, weak voice.
Because she knew the nature of their big-brained conscience very well—especially when faced with sexual temptation—his willpower would absolutely plummet like crazy!
"Of course!"
Lynn turned without hesitation, adjusted his Monocle, and looked at the smiling girl across from him with a serious, impassive expression.
"Zuo Zuo, what do you take me for? If I can solve something with my own hands, why go through the trouble? Zuo Zuo, you really underestimate your Master's stance and determination on crucial matters, don't you?"
He sneered and adjusted his Monocle.
"Mm mm mm!"
Zuo Zuo immediately glared, then nodded vigorously, her eyes becoming wide and shining.
Good job!
Sure enough, although Stupid Brain sometimes lacked moral boundaries, as he said, when it came to critical issues, even Stupid Brain could reasonably hold onto his principles and decency.
He wasn't truly a hopeless pervert—he still had a shred of conscience and morality! —though not much.
I'll be watching you!
Brain!
At worst, we fight her to the death; even if we die, we mustn't abandon our decency!

[ Ding! Zuo Zuo's Affinity toward you +6 ]
At this moment, Zuo Zuo also knew that as the airhead's capable hand, she had to step up!
She stood forward, pointed at the Desire Mother Tree across from them, put her hands on her hips, and shouted angrily:
"Did you hear that? 'Taste the Desire Goddess'? Do you think our big Brain is eager for that? Ha! You seriously underestimate the Night Doctors' ethics!"
Lynn pinched his Monocle and looked at the girl across from him with a calm, serious tone:
"Exactly! You really underestimate the Night Doctors. One time is hardly enough!"
Zuo Zuo, clenching her little fists with an emoticon-like expression, said, "Exactly, one time isn't—"
"......"
A brief, ghostly silence.
Zuo Zuo froze on the spot in a daze.
Lynn stared with his Dead-Fish Eyes and walked forward slowly, saying in a flat tone:
"No sincerity at all. Do you think I'm the kind of person who'd sell out my principles for 'just one taste'? Ha, you underestimate me. Let me be clear: no deal unless it's at least twice!"
The willow-like girl tilted her head and tapped her chin: "Three times?"
"Deal!"
Lynn decisively stuck out his hand and shook hers, nodding in agreement to cooperate happily.
As for decency, sell it if you must—it's not worth much anyway.
"......"
Another ghostly silence.
"Wa ya ya ya!! Stupid Brain!!!"
Zuo Zuo finally snapped and screamed as if losing her mind. If Little Treasure hadn't been holding her back, she'd have already rushed over to deliver a full set of joint punches.
He broke it! He broke it!
That shameless Stupid Brain really couldn't resist temptation—he agreed so quickly!
I knew it!
I still overestimated him! He has no bottom line! No morals at all!
Loli rage activated!
Little Treasure strained to drag the berserk Zuo Zuo away, cheeks scrunched, while on the other side, Lynn was already discussing the details of cooperation with the willow-like girl: how to coordinate, how to fulfill promises afterward, and all sorts of bizarre questions about whether to "do it with the tree" or "do it with a person."
The girl floated like mist, her inscrutable smile sizing Lynn up playfully, and said:
"So, you agreed so quickly?"
Lynn adjusted his Monocle, shrugged, spread his hands, and smiled: "What else? Do what's appropriate for the situation. Besides, I had no choice, right? A wise man adapts to circumstances. If I refused and you messed with my consciousness here, even if I didn't die, I might not be able to leave this Mental Space. Rather than that..."
"Why wouldn't I cooperate? And who knows, if you please me, maybe you'll even get a little reward—"
The willow-like girl was teased into laughter, circling Lynn light as air, her interest growing even stronger.
"Oh? I wouldn't trust that completely. From the fact you infiltrated Leviathan's Plague Doctors without a scratch, it's clear you're sneakier than ordinary people, so I'll tell you in advance: if you don't try to be clever, we can be fine. But if—"
Lynn waved his hand to cut her off, smiling slyly:
"Got it! Don't worry about that. You are a Root, after all, so be confident—how much trouble could a mere human like me stir up? Hmm?"
The Desire Mother Tree's smile didn't change, but her green eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
"No, you're not an ordinary human."
