Chapter 327 283. Fireworks Festival and Isa
The turtle shell under the veil of night emitted a glowing green light, making everyone's face around it appear greenish. Enjoy more content from empire
Isa couldn't figure out whether a high or low Heartbeat Index was better.
She thought, it at least shouldn't be below 70.
Despite being flat-chested and having a rigid personality which wasn't much liked by others, she had once been heralded by the White Dove Morning News as one of the rare beauties in the city.
Getting Lin Da's heart to flutter a little should be possible, right?
Isa clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open.
"Ah?!"
When she entered, an incredibly coincidental thing happened.
There was a mop in the room, whose handle hooked onto the sash of Isa's bathrobe.
The loose bathrobe was secured only by a single sash.
Isa felt an icy chill at the bottom of her heart, as if plunging into an abyss, with a whooshing cold wind continuously blowing at her back.
This wasn't just figurative; it was a literal coolness.
The bathrobe slid from Isa's body, and the winter wind, icy and biting, struck her back.
Isa's brain crashed, standing in the wind, disheveled.
And so, Lin Da saw it.
He involuntarily held his breath.
His heart felt like an aging adventurer whose butt was burned by fire, leaping three meters high.
That was...
Whiter than a sheep,
More tender than a peach,
A very healthy Swordsman's body.
The heart-shaped formation at her feet flickered frantically.
100, 150...
In a blink, it surpassed the 200 mark.
Drip, drip, drip!
An alarming alert sound blared, the room's suggestive pink lights switched to a startling red.
"What's happening?"
Outside, Lulu and others were dumbfounded.
The number on the magic display screen broke 250.
What on earth happened inside the room?
What had Isa done to make Lin Da's Heartbeat Index go off the charts?
Monica's face turned pale: "Could it be, did it go in...?"
This directly scared Lulu and Lia speechless!
No, that couldn't be possible.
That was Isa, the leader of the Ice Flower team.
Shameless as she might be, she couldn't possibly do that.
"I need to check it out." Lulu strode to the door, her right hand glowing with Battle Qi, covered in fluff over her delicate palm.
Lulu raised her right paw and struck the tightly shut wooden door.
Bang!
Just then, the door opened.
Isa walked out with a face flushed with embarrassment.
Behind her, stood Lin Da, who had just escaped from a torturous chair.
Lin Da's expression was awkward.
Neither of them spoke.
This atmosphere...
Lulu's head spun.
They did it, didn't they.
Within just that short minute, the two did something extremely unfortunate inside the cabin!
"Lust Demon Team Leader, I really misjudged you."
Lulu scoffed coldly and started to walk away.
"Listen to my explanation."
Lin Da immediately snapped to his senses and grabbed Lulu's wrist.
"You don't need to explain anymore. If it wasn't that... why would the Heartbeat Index be so high?" Lulu pushed Lin Da's hand away, her little face bearing a trace of grievance, "I only scored 170, so why does Isa score 270!"
Faced with the undeniable facts before him, Lin Da was left with no defense.
"But, it's not what you think, we really didn't do it."
"It was all an accident!"
"You agree, right, Isa?"
Lin Da gave her a pleading look.
Why not help with the explanation?
Isa, known in White Dove City for her excellent reputation and propriety as an adventure team leader, surely wouldn't want to be misunderstood, right?
If Isa were linked to him, it would absolutely break the hearts of Ice Flower's fans, thinking Isa had also joined his 'silver party'."
Yet Isa's face turned red, and she couldn't lift her head to face Lulu, saying, "Mm, mm, we really didn't do it."
This appearance stupefied Lin Da right there and then.
Anyone would think Isa was lying, right?
"You two are ganging up to deceive me?" Lulu's chest heaved up and down.
Monica and Lia also looked at Lin Da with suspicion.
"Really, we didn't."
Lin Da explained the incident from beginning to end.
"What? Isa got tripped by a mop, her yukata accidentally fell off, you helped her open the stool with a key, and then you helped her wear her complicated yukata afterward?"
Lulu laughed in anger, "Do you think anyone would believe that?"
"Lulu, you know, I wouldn't lie to you."
Lin Da decided to use his last resort.
"Hmph."
Lulu swatted Lin Da's hand aside, disrupting him from casting his spell.
Awkward.
Lin Da had no choice but to seek help from Monica and Lia.
Monica is really kind-hearted after all.
"Monica thinks, Sister Isa isn't that kind of a vulgar person."
Lia nodded too, "I know Isa better; her father would break her legs if she did something like that. Moreover, Isa doesn't like Lin Da, why would she do such a thing? It doesn't make sense, right Isa?"
"Uh... yes, exactly!" Isa said in panic, "I really have no feelings for Lin Da at all."
Lin Da breathed a sigh of relief, "Lulu, see, everyone is saying this, you should trust me now."
"Really didn't do it?"
"Of course, it was all an accident."
Lin Da patted Lulu's little head, "Team Leader here loves his team members the most."
Everyone finally believed Lin Da's explanation.
After all, the design of this Heartbeat Cottage's magic array is quite unreasonable; the Heartbeat Index is related to the heartbeat rate, imagine if someone held a knife to Lin Da's neck, the 'Heartbeat Index' would probably skyrocket.
This way, both Lulu and Lia felt relieved.
The scores obtained are at best taken as a reference, not to be completely believed as true.
"The fireworks festival is about to start, let's go and secure a good spot."
Just as Lin Da and the others were about to step away, they felt the ground rumbling and saw a crowd sprinting towards them.
Their expressions were fanatical, their eyes glinting; mostly males, with 'Aimmi Fan Support Group' bands tied around their heads, wearing jackets featuring the elf Aimmi's graphics, carrying backpacks with Aimmi's scroll paintings, figurines, photo books, and other related items.
