The Adorable Beast is pua

Lin Feng was eager to take action, but the guy in front of him was blocking him too securely.

She was wrapped in a bath towel the whole time, carefully wiping her body with a towel.

Towards the end, she finally called Lin Feng, who was sitting beside her, for help.

The horrifying knife wound pierced through her abdomen. Although it had scabbed over under the effect of medicine, it still couldn't tolerate any carelessness.

"Thank you..." Yuna whispered softly as Lin Feng carefully wiped around the wound.

"You're welcome."

Being able to help a beautiful beast-eared girl bathe was truly a delightful thing.

The only regret was not gaining any advantage.

But a gradual approach to winning her over was also not bad.

Just as Lin Feng was lost in thought, Yuna suddenly spoke, "I will definitely repay your kindness."

Kindness?

Was she referring to buying her and treating her injuries?

In an instant, the phrase "offering oneself in gratitude" appeared in Lin Feng's mind.

Heh heh, if it had to be that way, it wouldn't be impossible.

"How should I address you? Master?" Yuna turned her head and looked at Lin Feng, intentionally prolonging the tone when saying the word "master."

It made Lin Feng feel uncomfortable, as if ants were crawling on his body.

"Master?" Yuna called again.

But being called "master" by a cute beast-eared girl felt quite nice.

"You can just call me Lin Feng, or boss is also fine. If you think 'master' sounds smoother, you can call me that too." Lin Feng blinked sincerely.

Yuna snorted, "Then I'll call you master. You seem to really like that title."

When she asked Lin Feng, she deliberately observed his facial expressions.

"Well... it's a bit like that."

Although it was indeed the case, it was still embarrassing to be exposed on the spot.

In the following days, Lin Feng didn't go anywhere. He stayed at home and observed Yuna.

This fellow was very obedient, as if she had no intention of escaping, except that she occasionally gazed out of the window.

She would answer questions and all her behavior seemed reasonable.

It was said that orcs had stubborn temperaments, but it seemed like he had acquired an exceptional temperament. It appeared that she was adapting to the new environment.

"You don't need to monitor me like this, Master. I won't run away," Yuna pointed out Lin Feng's intentions bluntly.

"Oh?"

Yuna used her finger to tap the wolf tooth-shaped mark on her arm and said expressionlessly, "This is the Slavery Mark. With this, even if I run to the ends of the earth, as long as you give the command, I have to obediently come back."

The Slavery Mark was an auxiliary spell commonly used on slaves and captives.

The caster could manipulate the body of the recipient with the Slavery Mark. If the caster died, the recipient would suffer a backlash from the mark, thereby exerting a certain degree of intimidation.

Lin Feng nodded, raising his eyebrows as he asked, "Did you hear that from slave traders?"

To prevent them from rebelling, slave traders usually repeated the function of the Slavery Mark to them.

"Yes," Yuna nodded, and her beast ears on her head twitched along.

"When I was little, the old man in the tribe also said that the Slavery Mark was a very terrifying thing. Once this mark is applied, one's fate is controlled by others from then on."

Yuna's face was clouded with gloom, and her sapphire eyes dimmed considerably.

It was evident that she was feeling down.

Presumably, being enslaved had completely extinguished any hope she had for the future.

Well, let's start by painting a grand picture to satisfy her hunger!

"But that's not necessarily the case."

"Hmm?" Yuna slowly raised her head to look at Lin Feng. Although she didn't ask directly, her face was filled with a look of confusion.

He took the bait, just as expected.

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow at her and said, "As long as you behave well, I'll release you once I've earned enough money."

"And how long will it take to earn enough... let me think, probably five or six years."

Five or six years, considering the current rate of earning money, he could probably buy several more slaves.

By then, earning money would surely be much easier.

Even if he spent his days lying at home without challenging high-level mazes, and only relied on beast-eared girls to earn money in low-level mazes, he would receive a considerable income every month.

"After five or six years, will you let me go?" Yuna suddenly stood up, looking at Lin Feng with half belief and half doubt.

After spending a few days together, it was the first time Lin Feng had seen such a range of expressions on her face.

He had initially thought she would always wear a cold expression, looking out the window without any emotion...

"Yes, as long as I have enough money."

"And how much do you need? I'll work hard!" Yuna asked eagerly.

Lin Feng calculated for a moment.

He spent twenty-five silver coins to buy Yuna and even fed her a fifty-silver-coin emergency medicine.

He wasn't a greedy person, so making ten times the original amount would be enough.

Seven hundred and fifty silver coins, rounding it up to eight hundred coins, which would be equivalent to eight gold coins.

As the saying goes, kindness should be repaid with gratitude.

He had bought her from the cruel slave traders and even saved her life.

It was only reasonable to receive some compensation.

"Eight gold coins." Lin Feng raised eight fingers and continued, "Once you've stayed for five years and earned eight gold coins for me, I'll set you free."

Yuna was stunned for a moment, then she lowered her head and began to calculate.

Immediately after, she nervously smiled.

She never dreamt that in this lifetime, she would have a day of obtaining freedom.

To be honest, when the slavery mark was engraved on her, she had already resigned herself to a lifetime of servitude.

How lucky she was to be purchased by a kind-hearted person.

She had heard the elderly in the tribe mention before.

If caught by slave traders, it was best to end one's life as soon as possible; otherwise, one would live a life of misery.

Working as a laborer for a lifetime was considered a relatively good way to die.

The fear was encountering humans worse than beasts, with some peculiar fascination for orcs...

That would be worse than death.

Based on her observations over the past few days, Lin Feng not only didn't force her to do dirty and exhausting work, he also didn't mistreat her. Furthermore, he never took advantage of her when she was bathing or sleeping, doing anything that was worse than a beast.

On the contrary, this person was different from any human she had seen or heard of before.

Even in his treatment of orcs, he was extremely polite, a well-mannered gentleman!

"Thank you!" Yuna sincerely expressed her gratitude.

Lin Feng felt a bit guilty and nodded.

Was he the one who got sold and was now counting the money for someone else?

He decided to change the topic, "Yuna, how is your injury recovering?"

Yuna slowly lifted the clothing covering her belly, and the scab over her wound had already fallen off. Apart from the slightly different color, everything else had mostly returned to normal.

"I have fully recovered, Master. Please take me to make some money!"

Lin Feng nodded.

Her level was sufficient, and she had quite impressive talents.

To be honest, Lin Feng was looking forward to seeing her performance.

[Quest Update: Take Yuna to explore the labyrinth.]

"Then tomorrow, I'll take you to the labyrinth to familiarize yourself," Lin Feng said.

"The labyrinth?" Yuna asked.

"Yes, we will hunt monsters and collect crystal cores inside the labyrinth, and then exchange them for money at the Adventurer Guild," Lin Feng said with a greedy smile, rubbing his chin. "If we can find labyrinth cores, we can make a big fortune."

Yuna looked puzzled, trying to digest what Lin Feng had just said. After a while, she slowly spoke, "Grandfather in the tribe once said that it's a very dangerous place."

That's not wrong. Every year, hundreds or even thousands of adventurers go missing in the labyrinth. Most of them don't even leave behind their bones; they become nourishment for the labyrinth.

But even so, countless adventurers continue to enter the labyrinth one after another, fantasizing about finding its treasures and getting rich overnight...

"The quickest way to make money always comes with risks. As long as we don't do anything reckless, we'll be fine," Lin Feng replied.

Yuna nodded, fully agreeing with Lin Feng's words.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

"Do you have any preferred weapons? Or any equipment you need?" Lin Feng leaned on the table, looking at Yuna's trembling beast ears, and continued, "Since there are risks in going to the labyrinth, it's better to bring good equipment."

"I can use knives and swords," Yuna's eyes gleamed. "But will Master buy them for me to use?!"

"To kill monsters more efficiently and protect yourself better, of course I will buy them. I can't let you go there empty-handed," Lin Feng said.

Lin Feng changed into a different set of clothes, preparing to take Yuna out and buy some weapons from the nearest weapon shop.
