"Other than touching your ears, he hasn't done anything else?" Emily gripped her hunting bow tightly, sticking to Yuna's side like a piece of chewing gum, occasionally glancing back at Lin Feng.
Yuna was extremely exasperated. She had already explained many times: "The master is very gentlemanly. He has never done anything weird to me, he just occasionally steals glances to feast his eyes."
"If he dares to feast his eyes today, tomorrow he'll dare to feast his hands. The day after tomorrow he'll probably..."
Emily covered her ample bosom tightly, an expression of grave concern on her face.
"I believe the master would not do that." Yuna shook her ears, answering seriously.
Lin Feng followed behind the two, secretly eavesdropping on their conversation.
Just a few sentences made him greatly shocked.
Ambushing the beast-eared maid? Smelling her clothes?
Although he was indeed very interested in Emily, he clearly hadn't become perverted to that extent.
Oh well, at least he could still get his hands on the little one right?
"Little sister Yu Li come let big brother hug you!"
Yu Li was holding a little red flower. She glanced back at Lin Feng then ran over and dove into his arms, proceeding to act coquettishly.
This child was also quite pitiful. There was nowhere fun to play at home. When she was bored she would look for someone to mess around with.
At home, Emily took care of all the housework and was solely responsible for cooking. Yuna was like a block of wood when it came to childcare, always letting her play by herself at home.
Children love to play, but both older sisters don't play with her, so she can only cling to Lin Feng.
The two had only been together for half a day, yet were already on great terms.
Yu Li now liked to be Lin Feng's little stalker.
"Big brother, I'm sleepy. Can you piggyback me?" Yu Li jumped up and stuck the little red flower in Lin Feng's hair, then sleepily yawned.
"We'll be there soon. Tonight we'll find a safe place to rest."
"I don't wanna!" Yu Li hugged Lin Feng's leg to stop him from leaving.
When a little silver-haired beast-eared loli acts coquettishly with you, how could anyone endure?
Lin Feng directly squatted down and piggybacked her up.
Perhaps Yu Li really was sleepy. Lying on Lin Feng's back, she fell asleep after not long.
Yuna glanced at the two and said with arms akimbo, "You'll spoil her like this."
"She's just a child who wanted to sleep, it's not that serious."
"At her age, I could continuously run dozens of kilometers to hunt deer, then carry back a deer heavier than a person in one breath running back to the tribe." Yuna sighed, then continued saying, "Yet now she's still like a child, spending all day long just playing."
Lin Feng pondered for a bit.
Yu Li was only eight years old. Of course that's how children are.
Although one can't compare humans and beastmen, Lin Feng still felt having a little loli carry back something weighing over 100 jin running dozens of kilometers was a bit perverted.
"She's a child. As long as she's happy then all is well. If she likes playing then let her play. What's the point of being so harsh?"
Yuna's face was severe. "That won't do. Later I'll have her go kill some monsters and temper herself."
Lin Feng swallowed his saliva.
He had seen Yu Li's innate talent attributes. This child definitely would not succeed as a warrior.
Because her strength, defense, agility, and endurance talents were all below B-rank.
Her only A-rank talent was spirit.
In other words, Yu Li had a lot of mana, high magic defense, and high magic damage buff.
In the future she would probably do better as a mage.
"She's different from you. You have to teach students in accordance of their aptitude. Your methods won't work on her." Lin Feng mysteriously smiled.
Yuna was dumbfounded. She stopped in her tracks and stared at Lin Feng's eyes in confusion. "I don't understand what master means..."
"Your tribe should have shamans right? Yu Li should walk a similar path as them."
"Yu Li can communicate with spirits and predict the future?!" Yuna's eyes widened. She looked at Yu Li in disbelief, "That can't be right? I've never heard her mention anything about that since she was little."
"Similar. I said similar, not the same as real shamans." Lin Feng raised his voice a bit. The sleeping Yu Li immediately let out noises of discomfort. "In the future Yu Li could become a mage, but..."
Yuna had been listening intently. Hearing these two words she became unhappy. "But what? Stopping mid sentence, leaving me dying of curiosity!"
Mages in this world were generally extraordinarily powerful, flawless in every aspect.
Destructive attack spells to annihilate everything, defensive spells to comprehensively protect themselves, healing spells to treat allies' injuries and buff allies...
All kinds of overpowered abilities made mages an oppressive existence within teams.
But the time and money spent to nurture an outstanding mage was hard for ordinary people to imagine.
Yet Yuna didn't have a penny to her name, and still owed Lin Feng over 20 years of contracted servitude. Where would she find money to nurture Yu Li?
"It takes a lot of money. The magical books and equipment mages need are especially expensive."
Yuna deflated at once.
"She has great innate talent, but nurturing her takes a lot of money." Lin Feng pondered for a bit then continued saying, "But with her talents, spending a little less money should still allow her to learn some magic, which is enough."
"I want her to become a top mage." Yuna stopped and stood in place watching Lin Feng approach her.
"You can want. Just keep wanting."
Yuna shook her head. She suddenly moved closer to Lin Feng and scratched her cheek awkwardly.
"What's up?"
"Master, can you lend me some money?"
"Wow, you're really taking liberties! You still owe me 20 years of labor." Lin Feng really wanted to pinch her cheek, but his hands were occupied at the moment.
Yuna's ears drooped at once. She put her palms together awkwardly. "Sorry! I won't mention it again!"
She was thin-skinned.
Lin Feng had already helped her so much. If she didn't earnestly hope Yu Li could have a good future, she would not have brought this up again.
"So how much do you want to borrow?"
"Huh?" Yuna was prepared to give up, but Lin Feng's reply instantly rekindled her hopes.
"Five... No, ten gold coins!"
"It takes more than that little money to nurture an outstanding mage."
"Then how much is needed?"
"Don't know, but definitely over fifty gold coins at least."
Yuna immediately started fretting in her heart.
She had only borrowed seven or eight gold coins from Lin Feng last time to redeem enslaved tribesmen.
"Fine. Lend me the money first, master. But keep accounts for every coin. I will definitely work to pay you back."
"Have you thought it through? Once I lend out this money, you'll belong to me for life. I can make you do whatever I want."
Yuna hesitated for a few seconds. She nodded with difficulty.
Anyway, no matter how she lived she had to live. Working for a lifetime is working for a lifetime.
"You have to bear children for me."
"What!" Yuna's eyes widened. She stared at Lin Feng incredulously. "I... I meant proper work to earn money for you!"
As expected of a lovely beast-eared maid.
Lin Feng was liking this girl more and more.
"You'd rather stay single your whole life than compromise with me a little?"
Yuna rejected without even thinking. "Master, you're a good person. But intercourse between beastmen and humans would be a little weird right? So no."
Lin Feng looked at Yuna with no seriousness and said obscenely, "Love can transcend age, gender, race..."
Yuna lowered her head. There was a kind of inexplicable restlessness in her heart. "Alright I get it. Master, please don't say any more."
She turned around to leave, but Lin Feng's words kept echoing in her mind.
After a while, her face turned red.

uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
