“Whose dog is this? You should have it on a leash!”
“Why does that lady have a tail growing from her butt?”
“Beastmen are not allowed to wander the streets! Oh, it's a slave... that's fine then.”
Passersby, mischievous bear cubs playing around, and soldiers patrolling around the city...
The house Lin Feng bought was in the suburbs, so there were hardly any people on the road.
But even so, Yuna drew a lot of pointed fingers and whispers on the way.
This was owing to her overly eye-catching looks.
Silver white hair, blue pupils, two particularly sharp fangs, and a white tail trailing from her butt.
But in Lin Feng's eyes, she was just an adorable beast-eared girl.
Others saw her as a wild beast...
In this world, the status of beastmen was extremely low. A thousand years ago they were exiled by humans to the Great Forest. The confrontation between humans and beastmen began then.
The war lasted a thousand years without conclusion. And in recent times, due to disputes over forest resources, tensions were rising...
Therefore, whenever someone approached, Yuna would instinctively let out a growl.
Yuna, who was walking in front earlier, gradually hid behind Lin Feng.
As she followed behind Lin Feng, Yuna softly muttered: “There are so many people...”
“Ignore them. Just hold on to my clothes. They won't do anything,” Lin Feng looked back and said, trying to put her at ease.
In her eyes, a beastman running into a human city was probably like a sheep entering a tiger's den.
Yuna nodded and gripped tightly onto the corner of Lin Feng's clothes.
To facilitate moving around the city, Lin Feng specially hired a carriage.
When boarding, the coachman looked at Yuna with disgust.
He wanted to chase the two of them off at first, but Lin Feng paid him generously, so he reluctantly brought them to their destination.
It was the same when they arrived at the weapon shop.
Seeing a familiar customer, the owner smiled and welcomed them.
But spotting the beastman behind Lin Feng, he was so frightened that he retreated several steps, and threw her a very disgusted look.
"This shop refuses service to beastmen. Slaves should wait outside."
Lin Feng looked at Yuna sympathetically.
Were the people in this world blind? She's so cute and did nothing wrong, yet had to suffer unreasonable scolding.
Poor girl.
He would have to protect more beast-eared girls in future...
Yuna also felt the malicious intent, but to avoid causing Lin Feng trouble, she obediently turned to exit.
But before she took half a step out, Lin Feng grabbed her hand.
"I'm here to buy equipment for my slave, yet the slave herself cannot enter. What kind of logic is this?" Lin Feng raised a brow and asked.
He was a regular customer of this shop, his entire body armor purchased here, contributing considerably to the shop's sales.
Seeing Lin Feng's displeasure, the owner awkwardly gestured and obsequiously said, "Please pardon my rudeness, respected customer. But beastmen carry plagues on their bodies, and are dirty and smelly. I'm considering the other customers too."
"Bullshit!"
How could he utter such words right in front of the beast-eared girl? That was too impolite.
Did he not witness with his own eyes that Yuna had no issues whatsoever?
The status bar would directly display any problems.
She's completely clean and healthy! Ready to eat just by flipping her skirt up!
Seeing Lin Feng's insistence, the owner stopped arguing, though he still occasionally threw contemptuous looks at Yuna.
"Master... did I cause trouble for you?" Yuna asked very softly.
"No problem. Take your time choosing. I'll pay when you're done," Lin Feng gently urged her to start selecting suitable equipment.
He observed as Yuna seriously scrutinized the equipment.
She took a long time staring to differentiate two entirely identical pieces.
She would also tap them to listen to the sounds produced.
She looked very professional, but after a long while, only picked an iron breastplate.
"Master, I want this." Holding up the breastplate, Yuna said earnestly.
Unable to discern equipment quality, Lin Feng directly appraised it.
[Exquisitely Crafted Steel Breastplate
Wear Requirements: Level ≥2
Strength Talent ≥E
Effect: Slightly Reduces Chest Damage
Slightly Reduces Wearer’s Agility]
Impressive. This beast-eared girl had good taste.
Weapon qualities were graded into five tiers: Crude, Standard, Fine, Epic, Legendary.
Most breastplates on the shelves were standard-grade.
The one Yuna picked had superior defense and weaker drawbacks.
Though she took a long time, her pick was remarkable.
"Not bad. You have good taste," Lin Feng praised her.
Yuna was a little embarrassed from the compliment and scratched her ear, mumbling softly: "No...I just randomly picked it."
"It's made from soft steel, quite heavy but with good toughness and plasticity. The defense is reliable and easy to repair."
"Go pick a suitable weapon too." Lin Feng gently urged.
"Won't this cost a lot of money?" Hugging the breastplate, Yuna's ears twitched slightly.
"We're not short on money, pick whatever you like," Lin Feng extravagantly spread his hands.
Extremely delighted, Yuna beamed and immediately squatted by the greatsword racks, carefully assessing their qualities.
Lin Feng noticed she headed straight there without glancing at the knives, spears and clubs.
So she already had her eye on these weapons.
"You can handle these? Lift them okay?"
Yuna nodded and effortlessly drew a greatsword from the rack, nimbly swinging it around.
The immense sword qi left Lin Feng's face stinging.
"It feels really good to use this," she said.
No surprise there.
Beastmen had muscular builds and greater strength.
Despite her petite size, Yuna's strength was shockingly formidable.
"Done with selection?"
"Um... I haven't started yet, Master. Please wait a while more," Yuna quietly squatted and carefully distinguished the greatswords.
Such a diligent beast-eared girl. Makes me want to pat her.
After some time, Yuna ran over hugging a greatsword.
"Done now?"
She nodded.
Lin Feng appraised it at once.
[Exquisitely Crafted Steel Greatsword
Wear Requirements: Level ≥ 6
Strength Talent ≥ C
Effect: Greatly Increases Physical Damage
Slightly Reduces Wielder’s Attack Speed
Attacks Cause Armor Penetration Effect]
The sword was made of hard steel, lacking resilience but its hardness could still easily cleave through most magical creature hides. However, it couldn't escape being heavy.
But Yuna is a beastman of prodigious strength, so weight was not a factor.
Appraising the other greatswords―they were all standard quality, while hers was fine grade.
If picking the finest swords was just coincidence earlier, it probably wouldn’t have happened again.
This beast-eared girl had spectacular vision.
"Yuna, you really know how to pick gear. Amazing!" Lin Feng dearly wanted to pat her cat ears, but settled for patting her shoulder as it seemed inappropriate.
Being praised thus, Yuna grew even more embarrassed.
"Please don't keep praising me like that, Master. It's too fake!" She complained verbally but her tail gently swayed left and right.
Due to racial traits, some beastmen's emotions could be easily observed.
Take Yuna - she was of the Silver Wolf Tribe.
It’s well known that wolves' tails usually hung limply with minimal movement. But when delighted, they would still gently wag...
"Master?" Yuna softly called out. She felt rather uncomfortable being stared at.
Moreover, she wondered if it was her imagination― Lin Feng's gaze seemed fixed on her butt.
She shifted left, but his eyes simply followed.
“Master!” Yuna was getting anxious.
