Lin Feng woke up to find two slimes attacking his cheeks.
They had jumped out directly from his clothes.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Feng felt something was not right with the smell, and looked up to find he had sucked the wrong slime.
"Ro...Rosalind? How can it be you?"
He had thought it was Emily, but it turned out to be her instead.
If he remembered correctly, she should have been sitting next to him before he fell asleep. But when he woke up, she had inexplicably climbed on top of him.
Meanwhile, Yuna and Emily were inexplicably hugging each other for warmth.
Everyone was sleeping very soundly.
Rosalind was even occasionally talking in her sleep.
"We absolutely cannot... I hate humans..."
???
With one guess Lin Feng knew who the 'human' she was referring to was.
But that was unimportant.
The most important thing now was that she was lying on top of Lin Feng with her clothes all messed up, and the beautiful scenery had all been seen.
To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, he decided to carefully help Rosalind tidy up her clothes.
The instant he touched her, Rosalind opened her eyes and met Lin Feng's gaze.
She did not react at first, and just rubbed her sleepy eyes.
But the chilly feeling still made her lower her head.
She stared at Lin Feng's hand, not saying anything.
"If I tell you this is all a coincidence, would you believe me?"
Rosalind silently tidied up her clothes, then said, "After all, at your age, it's normal to be interested in the opposite sex, I can understand you."
"......"
"I forgot that I happen to have some looks, and I haven't kept my distance from you. So I'm also partially responsible."
"???"
Lin Feng knew that there was no clearing his name after this slip up.
She had already decided in her heart that Lin Feng was a big pervert who would assault old aunties.
"What do you take me for?" Rosalind seemed a little angry, her brows furrowed, "Do I sleepwalk or something?"
"I don't know if you sleepwalk, but I do know you talk in your sleep."
As soon as he said this, Rosalind instantly deflated, her arrogant aura vanishing in an instant.
But after a few seconds, she cocked her hips arrogantly again: "Hmph, so what? You promised not to tell anyone."
Lin Feng chuckled lightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
He was an honest and trustworthy man.
But this girl was quite cocky, he would definitely find a chance to teach her a lesson in the future.
...
After traveling through the canyon for several days, they finally saw the scattered brown wooden houses at the bottom of the canyon.
"The dwarf settlement is just ahead. Later you guys..."
Before Lin Feng could finish speaking, dozens of dwarf militiamen wielding iron hammers charged out from all around, surrounding Lin Feng and the others amidst deafening roars.
The three beastkin girls raised their respective weapons, pointing them at the dwarves.
"Don't panic, put your weapons down."
The beastkin girls glanced at each other, with Yuna putting away her sword first. Rosalind and Emily looked at each other and also put away their bows.
Lin Feng walked a step forward, pointing at his own face towards the dwarves: "Have you forgotten me?"
The leading captain scrutinized Lin Feng closely, rubbing his red beard with his rough big hands.
After a few seconds, he said in slight frustration, "Rare to see a human get in here, but turns out it's you! What a buzzkill!"
Seeing this, the other militiamen also shook their heads before dispersing in unison, returning to their respective posts.
Seeing this scene, Rosalind looked at Lin Feng again: "They know you?"
In her impression, the relationship between dwarves and humans didn't seem that good. But Lin Feng seemed to be quite influential in the dwarves' territory.
This was a little unusual.
"I was here for a while before, helped them with some small favors."
"Bragging, you must have done the complete opposite, taking advantage of them as always." Emily looked askance at Lin Feng, then lightly punched him twice, "I'm right, aren't I?"
Lin Feng neither admitted nor denied it. He only felt that Emily was understanding him more and more.
"Alright, stop guessing. Follow me."
Along the way, they encountered many dwarves.
Seeing a human passing by, most of them would murmur something.
"How did the human get in?"
"Use his skull as a bowl!"
"It's him, watch your mouth."
"Isn't this the guy Ruby's daughter likes?"
All the way, Rosalind's ears pricked up, eavesdropping unabashedly on the dwarves' conversations.
This made her even more certain that Lin Feng was definitely not an ordinary person.
He at least had quite a reputation among the dwarves.
Could he be a hidden big shot? Wow...
Lin Feng smelled the scent of wine.
He looked towards the tavern by the roadside.
Several burly dwarf men were sprawled haphazardly on the ground, looking extremely indecent.
These guys really were addicted to drinking.
Thinking of wine, a wicked idea popped into Lin Feng's mind.
"Can you guys drink alcohol?" He looked back at the beastkin girls. He suddenly had some strange thoughts.
Emily scratched her furry rabbit ears, speaking somewhat puzzledly, "Shouldn't only men drink that stuff?"
"I heard humans have a habit of drinking, while we only drink a little wine during rituals." Yuna blinked and also spoke.
That was interesting.
When the time came, get them drunk senseless, and then... cough cough! See what they look like when drunk.
"The dwarves are highly skilled at brewing. You have to try some later, or this trip would be wasted." Lin Feng looked deliberately at Emily and Yuna, "After getting the gear, I'll bring you to drink your fill."
I must see what drunk beastkin girls taste like!
"Since Master says so, I'll take a sip later."
"Females can drink too? Doesn't seem appropriate. But since it's your request, I'll drink some this time."
Seeing the beastkin girls fall into his trap, he sinisterly smiled.
After walking past the tavern some distance, Lin Feng stopped in front of a wooden house.
The clanging of iron could be heard from within, and white smoke billowed from the chimney.
He took a deep breath and glanced around.
Still the same as he remembered.
Lin Feng knocked on the wooden door, and an irritable voice instantly came from inside the house.
"Don't you know the rules? No one can disturb my forging! Masha! Bring me my axe, I'm going to teach this bastard a lesson!"
Lin Feng helplessly sighed, then said to the puzzled beastkin girls behind him, "This uncle has always had this temper, don't worry."
Then he cleared his throat and shouted loudly, "Uncle Ruby, it's me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, light footsteps sounded inside the house.
The wooden door opened to reveal a red-haired dwarf girl. She had a smile on her face.
She was shorter than Lin Feng by a head, but her figure was not as stout and bulky as other dwarves. Instead she was quite slender and graceful, though a little lacking in the chest area.
"Masha? It's been two years, you've become even prettier."
"Ah... you came to see me!" Masha hopped happily twice, but seeing the beastkin girls behind, her joy instantly vanished by more than half.
