After pouncing and hugging Li Ang, the beast-eared maiden didn't let go for a while.
Zoe frowned and watched for a long time, Dorothy's iridescent eyes stared expressionlessly, while ALulu seemed lost in thought.
The White Wolf just needed to bury her head in his chest, but Li Ang was left to endure the piercing gazes from all directions.
It wasn't just the Star Flower Travel Corps, but also those who witnessed the Platinum King's full display of power.
Now that the Platinum King is dead, and his plan to sacrifice most of the island's population has been foiled, the audience is elated.
Many people have started to take action, clamoring to storm the Platinum Hall and loot it to offset their losses.
Some people couldn't care less about that, they just want to leave the island quickly and forget this nightmare as a bad dream.
On the stands, the crowd surged, and naturally, countless people passed by where Li Ang and the others were standing.
Apart from Farina's battlefield with the Demon Dragon, the stands where he and the young ladies stood were the battle's epicenter, and everyone who passed by had their eyes on this area.
Some even ran over specifically to express their gratitude.
This made them even more of a focal point, with some people even cheering and whistling.
"Mmm mmm mmm."
Zoe gritted her teeth and moved closer to Andasu, glaring fiercely at her.
The White Wolf's ears twitched; she sensed the young girl's approach but seemed to think she could hug Li Ang a little longer.
"You've been hugging long enough." The chestnut-haired girl suppressed her voice, speaking irritably.
Andasu remained unmoved.
Zoe said, "We just helped you, you know."
"Helping her has nothing to do with her hugging the captain." Dorothy whispered.
The little cat glared at the Half Elf, implying how could you side with her.
"I'm just pointing out there's no logic between the two unless you add that she's stealing your man on the spot." The Half Elf chuckled mischievously, stirring the pot.
"M-my man? N-no, that is to say, I'm not saying he's not mine, but..." Zoe's face turned red, stammering.
She turned her head and grabbed Andasu's arm: "Anyway, let go now."
Not knowing where else to put her other hand, she looked at Andasu's white bangs, conflicted about whether to tug at her hair.
If pushed to the brink, the little cat would really show her claws, but Andasu kept it that length for her male disguise, making it hard to grasp.
Li Ang had a bit of a headache. Although the White Wolf and Zoe had different personalities, with one being introverted and the other extroverted, they both didn't care about the opinions of others.
While the major trouble on this island was resolved, leaving only the aftermath, there might be strange troubles for future team actions.
Using force didn't work, and if more force was applied it would lead to violence, so Zoe, feeling wronged, grabbed Li Ang's arm.
"Don't let her do this."
"I've already tried."
Li Ang smiled wryly. He had stepped back more times than he could count since earlier.
"Um, this is indeed not ideal."
ALulu, in a childlike voice, said to the White Wolf: "Even if you don't abide by the Goddess's disciples' commandments, you should follow the logic. One should not indulge in desires and should behave appropriately in public."
"Are you saying they can be affectionate in private?" Dorothy asked.
"No, what I mean is, if brother Li Ang is unwilling, I will protect him."
ALulu furrowed her brows, seeming ready to step in and protect him from the White Wolf at Li Ang's command.
"If our captain doesn't want to be hugged, as the Great Witch he has a thousand ways to push her away." Dorothy said cynically.
Li Ang glanced over, and the Half Elf raised her chin, looking defiant, as if saying, "Come hit me."
"Ahem ahem."
Even the Sandstorm Lioness, Penny, walked over and signaled Andasu to take a look around.
Andasu lifted her head slightly, then went back to snuggling.
"Is An really this kind of person?" The lioness's sister, the tigress Bonnie, scratched her head and said.
Her rugged face was completely filled with surprise.
Penny sighed softly: "Fine, that An who's been enduring alone, having someone to entrust her feelings to isn't bad."
After being knocked down by the Dragon-transformed Platinum King, it took them a while to stand. By the time Li Ang arrived, they hadn't yet reached the stands, and the crisis was already resolved.
Hearing her partner's words, Andasu finally let go.
She gazed up at Li Ang, her golden eyes shimmering with watery light reflecting his face.
"Due to debt, the Yunxiang Race and I are nominally free but are actually slaves of the Platinum King, his property.
"You've defeated him, so from now on, I am your property, your slave. From now on, I am at your mercy."
Zoe jumped up, shouting, "Hey! That's not right!"
"People should be free, owning themselves." ALulu said.
"Think before you speak, okay?" Dorothy frowned, forcing a smile: "His only slave can be me."
Li Ang glared at the Half Elf: What nonsense are you saying amidst the chaos?
He looked down at the beast-eared maiden and said:
"With the debtor gone, such contracts without proper legal protection shouldn't exist. They should be nullified."
"I haven't been to school, I don't understand these things," Andasu said.
This person, is she being stubborn or feigning ignorance?
Li Ang couldn't quite tell.
A gust of hot air blew in as Farina approached, riding the Blazing Winged Dragon.
The radiant witch glanced at Li Ang and the maiden before him, playfully saying, "How come you have another female team member?"
"Isn't expanding the team about adding people?" Li Ang asked, looking puzzled.
"You're back to being so thick-skinned again; sister doesn't like it."
