At this moment, Lu Ming stood outside the door. He couldn't calm down for a long time. The scene he accidentally saw kept replaying in his mind. The surprise and embarrassment intertwined into complex emotions.

When he heard Selina calling him in after she changed her clothes, Lu Ming took a deep breath, tried to sort out his confused thoughts, took the food, and stepped back into the room.

At this moment, although both of them tried to act as if nothing had happened, there was a subtle and awkward atmosphere in the air.

Although Selina was already dressed, Lu Ming's gaze still lingered on her involuntarily, and the heat in his eyes made his heart beat faster.

"Well...the food is still hot, let's eat something first." Selina broke the silence first, her voice was a little nervous, but with a hint of tenderness.

Lu Ming coughed lightly, managed to calm down, and quickly looked away.

In order to break the awkwardness, he put the food on the table and suggested: "Well, you eat first, I'll go take a shower."

Then he turned and walked to the bathroom to take a shower.

However, as soon as he entered the bathroom, his eyes were attracted by several pieces of underwear left on the shelf.

These clothes were obviously Selina's.

Apparently, in her rush just now, she forgot to pack it up.

This scene almost suffocated Lu Ming. He felt a surge of hot blood rushing to his head, almost gushing out.

At the same time, Selina outside seemed to realize this negligence, her little face turned red and she was ashamed.

She mustered up her courage and walked to the bathroom door, her voice as soft as a mosquito, "Lu Ming, I...I left something in there, can you help me get it?"

Lu Ming's hands were shaking as he carefully picked up Selina's underwear, feeling mixed emotions.

He resisted the urge and didn't let his emotions go beyond the line. Instead, he gently opened the bathroom door and handed the clothes to Selina.

She took the clothes and quickly hid them behind her. She sat on a stool in the room and fell into deep thought. She felt she had never been so embarrassed.

Lu Ming closed the door, feeling hot all over and struggling internally. He washed himself vigorously, trying to use the cold water to dispel the heat in his heart.

After a long time, he finally calmed down and walked out of the bathroom, only to be greeted by Selina's barely pretended calm invitation to have dinner together.

At the dining table, Lu Ming and Selina lowered their heads and tasted the food in silence.

In the silence, the two had subtle expressions, and they seemed to be trying their best to avoid direct eye contact, but they couldn't help but secretly glance at each other.

The table was filled with sumptuous dishes with attractive colors and fragrant aromas, but their minds were obviously not entirely on the food.

There was an awkward and subtle atmosphere in the air.

After dinner, night fell and a subtle silence filled the room.

Lu Ming's eyes lingered on the narrow single bed. He said without hesitation, "Teacher, I will sleep on the floor tonight. You can sleep on the bed."

Selina's eyes were complicated, showing gratitude and other indescribable emotions, but she just nodded slightly without saying a word.

After turning off the lights, the moonlight was like water, pouring through the window onto the floor, adding a touch of softness to the quiet night.

However, being alone in the same room with a single man and a single woman, especially after experiencing the blushing and heart-pounding moment not long ago, it was difficult for both of them to truly sleep.

In bed, their heartbeats were like drumbeats, echoing in the quiet night. Their thoughts were surging, and their feelings for each other were slowly fermenting in silence.

It was not until the east turned white and the first ray of dawn quietly crept into the room that they woke up from their thoughts, their eyes hiding the fatigue of a sleepless night.

"Good... good morning." Lu Ming's voice was a little hoarse and with a hint of embarrassment, he broke the silence first.

Selina also looked a little embarrassed, but she still smiled back: "Good morning, I hope you didn't get too cold last night."

They quickly tidied themselves up and tried their best to hide their fatigue from a sleepless night.

Walking out of the inn and into the square of Shadow City, the morning air was a little cool, but the noise of the crowd soon surrounded them. The purpose of their trip was clear, which was to collect the latest intelligence about the goblin siege and find possible clues of action.

"I heard that the goblins launched another attack last night, but were successfully repelled by the city defense forces." said an old soldier who was recruiting team members. His voice was full of fighting blood and desire for victory.

"We need more warriors like you to join us in resisting the goblin invasion." The old soldier's eyes fell on Lu Ming and Selina, his tone sincere.

Lu Ming and Selina exchanged glances and reached a consensus without words. They knew that the road ahead might be full of unknowns and dangers, but they were ready. In order to protect this land and to fight against the impending crisis, they were willing to fight side by side.

"We are willing to join." Lu Ming answered firmly, and Selina nodded in agreement. Their voices echoed in the square in the early morning, announcing a new beginning.

Hearing Lu Ming and Selina's response, the veteran smiled with satisfaction and said, "Very good, young people. Courage and determination are the key to overcoming everything. With your help, we will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties."

Hearing the veteran's praise, Lu Ming and Selina smiled at each other. They knew that this was not the time to be humble, but the time to show their strength.

Selina straightened her back and introduced herself proudly: "I am a teacher of the Undead Department at Hols School of Magic, and this is my student, Lu Ming."

Lu Ming also nodded, his eyes firm, revealing extraordinary confidence.

"Undead?" The old soldier was surprised at first, then nodded in relief. "Although the Undead is considered the weakest among magicians, I know that the real power lies not in the profession itself, but in the person who uses it. Since you are a high-level magician, I believe in your strength."

So the veteran personally led them to the city wall, where many adventurers had gathered, ready to fight.

On top of the city walls, magicians are on standby, launching deadly magic attacks from high above, while knights are stationed at key positions, ready to respond to possible breakthroughs at any time.

The arrival of Lu Ming and Selina undoubtedly added new vitality to this force.

Soon, a deafening roar was heard in the distance, and the goblin army poured out from the depths of the forest like a tide, the number of which was staggering.

They have various shapes, there are warriors holding crude weapons, there are also mages wielding staffs, ready to go, the whole legion exudes a thrilling aura.

"Prepare for battle!" The commander on the city wall gave an order, and all the magicians began to concentrate and prepare to release their magic.

Lu Ming and Selina also quickly adjusted their status.

Selina closed her eyes and began to chant a spell. The space around her seemed to become cold because of her magic.

Lu Ming held the staff tightly in his hand, his eyes sharp as he waited for the best time to cast the spell.

As the goblin army got closer, the atmosphere on the city wall became more tense.

When the goblins entered the attack range, the magicians' magic poured down like a rainstorm, fireballs, ice cones, lightning chains...

Various kinds of magic interweave into a spectacular picture on the battlefield.

In the crowd, Lu Ming and Selina were not willing to be outdone.

As a high-level necromancer, Selina showed her true strength in front of Lu Ming for the first time.

She silently chanted spells and cast a series of advanced undead magic to summon ghost soldiers.

These ghost soldiers are very powerful, equivalent to the level of high-level magicians, and they charge towards the goblin army.

In addition, Selina also cast other advanced undead magics, which were more like upgraded versions of the Death Blade and were extremely powerful.

In addition, Selina is very accurate with magic, and every spell she casts can trigger a chain reaction among the enemy group, greatly weakening the goblins' combat effectiveness.

Although Lu Ming's strength was not weak, there were magicians and powerful knights everywhere at the moment. He did not dare to use magic, so he could only pick up the magic wand and cast the Death Blade and Death Binding.

Since there are many magicians on the city wall, there are many junior and intermediate magicians, and even some advanced magicians.

Among these people, Lu Ming, a fourth-level apprentice magician, was not very noticeable.

The magic attacks he released had very limited effect on the goblin army.

So no one paid attention to him.

However, Lu Ming didn't care about these. He stood beside Selina and helped to the best of his ability.

As for the Demon Emperor-level skeleton, Lu Ming had already sent it back to the other dimension.

As his trump card, Lu Ming did not intend to summon it for use unless in an emergency.

Just like that, Lu Ming mingled in the crowd and watched how the situation developed.
