The Little Girl with Silver-Haired Beast Ears

Impressive.

This beast-eared girl was impressive!

In just three short hours, she had turned the maze upside down.

From the single slimes at the very beginning, to the giant slimes at the top level, Yuna handled them all with ease, completely annihilating them.

Lin Feng could declare that Yuna had completely cleared the treehouse maze instance.

"Truly impressive, easily clearing the maze like that." Lin Feng put on a look of surprise as he praised.

The first step to winning someone's heart is to not be stingy with your praises.

Even blind praises will do.

Yuna was a little embarrassed as she looked at Lin Feng, feeling great on the inside but still putting on a humble appearance: "It's nothing much, if it was master you could definitely do the same."

"But using such a good weapon just to kill this kind of trash, it feels a bit wasteful." Yuna used a rough towel to wipe the slime mucus off the sword blade.

Her hand suddenly stopped as she looked at Lin Feng, who was bending over to pick up slime cores, with some confusion.

It seemed like from the beginning until now, she hadn't seen him attack the slimes himself.

He also didn't have any weapons on him, just wearing some simple beast skin armor.

"Master, you're an adventurer right?"

Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to glance at Yuna sitting on a rock, and continued picking up the cores.

"Yes."

"Then what is your weapon?" Yuna blinked, thought for a bit and then continued saying, "I've never seen you attack magical beasts before, so I'm very curious."

Lin Feng chuckled softly, slowly walking over to Yuna and mysteriously whispering in her ear, "That's a secret."

"Oh that tickles!" Yuna scratched at the fur in her ears, then shook hard, "Since it's a secret then I won't ask anymore."

"Mm, good girl," Lin Feng crooked a finger at Yuna, "Hand out."

Yuna thought Lin Feng wanted to hold her hand again, so she obediently stuck out her hand.

But instead, Lin Feng placed the collected cores onto her palm, "You can go exchange these at the Adventurer's Guild for money. Ten slime cores can be exchanged for one copper coin, there's probably around sixty cores here."

"Don't think it's too little no matter what, killing slimes can earn quite a bit too."

Yuna's eyes lit up as she accepted them without any complaint.

Being able to redeem herself was just around the corner.

Lin Feng used Appraisal on her again.

He discovered that her experience bar had barely moved at all.

As expected, she was already quite high-leveled, killing slimes barely gave her any experience now.

But since they had come all the way here already, he definitely couldn't leave empty-handed.

Lin Feng had Yuna kill slimes here for a whole day, only letting her go back when she was completely exhausted.

He had to say, beastmen really did have good stamina. That heavy greatsword still being swingable after an entire day.

Just bending over to pick up those cores made his back ache to death.

"Mas...master, how much money did I earn?" Yuna was sprawled over the table, exhaustion written all over her face.

"Around two hundred cores, converted to copper coins that's about twenty," Lin Feng placed the dishes on the table, "You must be hungry, let's eat together."

Yuna looked at the table full of food, then back up at Lin Feng.

"What are you looking at me for? Eat."

"Can I eat at the table?"

"Where else are you gonna eat? Don't tell me you wanna squat in the corner holding onto your food bowl?" Lin Feng passed a fork to Yuna since she couldn't use chopsticks.

He could probably guess what she was thinking.

In this world, humans treated beastmen quite cruelly. Wanting to eat at the same table? Dream on.

Yuna was probably getting her perception of humans refreshed after seeing Lin Feng's actions.

"Don't overthink it, I'm different from other people. I like eating with my good friends at the same table."

Yuna tilted her head in thought for a bit before finally moving her fork. Although it was visible she felt a bit restrained.

Also, while eating this meal, Yuna kept sneaking looks at his expression, scared of accidentally angering him.

"Master," Yuna suddenly called out to Lin Feng. Her gaze was furtive, her body fidgeting around.

"If you've got something to say then just say it directly, no need to beat around the bush so much."

"Actually, I'd like to ask you for some help," Yuna got up and went to kneel by Lin Feng's side, speaking in a humble tone, "I still have a younger sister."

Younger sister?

Lin Feng imagined a mini version of Yuna in his mind.

A little silver-haired beast girl with animal ears!

Adorable, must protecc...cough cough!

But speaking of which, when he had bought Yuna previously, he didn't see any other silver wolf beastmen slaves.

"She was caught too?" Lin Feng tried his best to look serious.

"No, I got caught because I was out hunting. My sister should still be at home," Yuna shook her ears vigorously as she bowed her head towards Lin Feng, "Master, could you please come with me to the forest to bring my sister back..."

【Quest Update: Find Yuna's younger sister.

Quest Reward: Greatly increase Yuna's favorability.】

Lin Feng fell into deep thought as he looked at the quest window that had suddenly popped up.

It was probably like some games, where reaching certain favorability levels would unlock some intimate interactions.

Things like headpats, ear rubs, tail...coughs!

【That's right host, reaching certain favorability levels can unlock some strange things!】

Strange things?

Lin Feng was instantly interested.

"What about your parents?"

Yuna went silent. She didn't seem to want to continue talking about those two.

Lin Feng sighed inwardly, parents really were high-risk occupations.

"How old is your sister now?"

"Eight."

"Did she have anyone in the tribe to look after her after your parents passed away?"

Yuna didn't answer immediately. She was silent for a while before opening her mouth, "After father and mother died, we got exiled."

Lin Feng also understood a bit about beastmen tribes.

They didn't have anything like respecting elders or loving the young. As long as you had no use to the tribe, you would quickly get driven away to fend for yourself.

How despicable. Such cute little beast girls, saying they'll exile them just like that.

But this was good, no need to go to the beastmen settlement, one less trouble to deal with.

"How long has it been since you got captured?"

"Including today, it's been exactly one week."

Lin felt his heart skip a beat. Letting a seven to eight year old child live alone in the forest for an entire week.

"There's still preserved food in the place I live at. It should be enough to last around ten days. If she listened to me and didn't wander around, it should still be pretty safe," although Yuna said this, she still couldn't help worrying.

"You should have told me sooner. Leaving a child alone in the forest for so long, this is on you," Lin Feng knocked Yuna's head.

Yuna raised her head to look at him, speaking a little shamefully, "I wanted to say it the whole time! But I was scared Master might be a wolf in sheep's clothing..."

Wolf in sheep's clothing?

At most Lin Feng was just a capitalist, completely unrelated to wolves in sheep's clothing!

How infuriating, a gentleman you still suspect!

But since Yuna was willing to tell him, it meant she probably passed the test right?

"It's a bit late now. We'll head out together tomorrow morning."

The corners of Yuna's lips curved up a little. She gave her solemn thanks...
