But this scene was far more terrifying to Ferut.
A man grabbed the beautiful girl's chin, smiled with satisfaction, and even offered a few words of praise. Then, he pulled out an unidentified object and slowly brought it closer...
That's highly suspicious! If the judge had seen it, he could have handed down a verdict on the spot!
Although I really wanted to shout, we were already close to the edge of the slums. Even if I shouted, I didn't know whether people would help me or want to join me.
Ferut's heart was in her throat; her heart was pounding, and her fear was slowly growing.
Am I really going to be destroyed here? No, no, I still have to…
"Why that expression?" Lin Yan looked at Felt's clothes losing their shine and her being completely at his mercy. Did he really look like a lecher?
His face is undeniably handsome and dashing; he doesn't look like a villain at all. Even if he were a villain, he'd be the kind of wicked and arrogant type, not some low-class lecher like He Lao Si!
Lin Yan channeled his spiritual energy into Felt's wounds, and in just a few breaths, Felt felt her injuries improve... no, not improve, but completely disappear!
Freed from the constraints of physical pain, she rolled off the ground and got up, feeling that the entire process was not only unhindered but even subtly smoother...
"who are you?"
At this point, it was clear that they couldn't catch up with the silver-haired half-elf who was the target of their mission. Besides, the guy in front of them was no pushover either. He had just been hit on the butt by a pebble, and the thought of that excruciating pain still sent chills down his spine.
"I'm someone you can't afford to mess with."
Lin Yan's words were concise and to the point:
"Besides, if you chase after them now, you might die."
"will die?"
Ferut scoffed dismissively, treating Lin Yan's words as nothing.
"Of course." Lin Yan nodded.
"The cat flying beside Emilia is a great elf. If she's serious, she could raze the entire slum of Baoheng to the ground in one move."
If anyone else had said that, Felt would never have believed it, but Lin Yan... is a master!
He has no reason to lie to himself.
"Hmph, don't think I'll be grateful just because of this." Ferut snorted again and turned to leave.
"and many more."
Before even getting down to business, Lin Yan wasn't about to let go of an opportunity to gain the Phoenix's blessing.
"There's something I want to discuss with you, and of course, you have no choice but to agree."
Lin Yan patted off imaginary dust from his body to emphasize his superior status.
"That's not necessarily the case."
Ferut took a few steps back, ready to flee at any moment.
"Do you want to be second only to the emperor? To live a life of luxury, with endless gold coins to spend? And even your friends and companions could rise to power?"
The first step is to lure them with benefits.
"Nonsense! If given a choice, who wouldn't want that!"
Ferut remained vigilant.
"That's right. Actually, your identity is quite extraordinary. If you're willing to come with me, I'll take you to find someone who can immediately give you this kind of life."
“But I refuse!” Ferut’s expression seemed to carry a strange light, as if she were refusing to accept bribes from an honest official, displaying an unyielding pride that would not bow down for a pittance.
"Even if I want this kind of life, I should get it through my own efforts and struggles, not by begging from others."
"Even if the process is difficult, even if kneeling down is easy, I will absolutely not choose it!"
She clenched her fists, her expression almost pious, making it impossible to refuse or argue. Lin Yan looked at Ferut, who had such ambition at such a young age, and couldn't help but feel great admiration.
Imagine someone who has struggled in poverty since childhood, and suddenly someone tells you that you are actually the real heiress, the real young master, who went missing many years ago, and that the master and mistress have spent countless amounts of money and spent their days in tears searching for you... Ninety-nine percent of people wouldn't refuse the wealth, power, and status that are offered to them!
"You have to agree even if you don't agree."
I wiped away my tears of emotion, but things still had to go on as usual.
My phoenix blessing can't be ruined by this little incident. The idea of making a better life with my own hands is just pretentious nonsense from decent people.
Why strive when you can gain something for nothing?
Do you even know how hard it is for us freeloaders to work every day without lifting a finger? Why do you have to use such sunny Qixi Festival words to scorch us?! Unacceptable!
If it weren't absolutely necessary, Lin Yan really wouldn't bother with Felt, this little bean sprout who hasn't even grown up yet. But right now, this is the only way he can do Reinhardt a favor! If he misses this opportunity, getting another favor from him will be no less difficult than sending a college student who has completed four years of college entrance exams back to take the exams again and then expecting them to get into Tsinghua or Peking University.
"Hey, let me go! Don't think I'll give in so easily!"
As Lin Yan grabbed Ferut's arm, Ferut began to shout loudly.
"I'm going back to find Lord Rom, you bastard, don't think I'll give in so easily!"
Mr. Rom...
This keyword seemed to remind Lin Yan of something. Then, he released his hand, and Ferut's figure quickly disappeared from the spot.
"Ah, what a pity." Lin Yan deliberately let Felt go before letting out a slow sigh.
"But everything is up to me. I remember that the one who made a deal with Felt was Elsa the Bowel Hunter."
Lin Yan swears to the heavens... well, to the lamplight, that he absolutely did not lust after Elsa's body or anything like that. He released Felt to lead the way to Rom's trading location in order to find an opportunity to get close to Elsa.
After all, it's incredibly troublesome to find something when you're in an unfamiliar place, and asking for directions is also a hassle.
Of course, as mentioned before, Lin Yan is definitely not that kind of person. Even if he received the Phoenix's blessing a little later, it shouldn't matter. It was purely a slip of the hand; he accidentally let Felt go.
Thinking this, he lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his figure seemed to transform into a gentle breeze.
Magic - Cognitive Impairment.
After blurring his body into a faint shadow, Lin Yan followed Ferut at a leisurely pace.
After three turns and crossing a small river, we finally arrived at a place that looked very familiar.
Under Lin Yan's watchful gaze, Felt gasped for breath, looked around, and finally slowly knocked on the door. After exchanging the password, she entered Lord Rom's tavern.
"You're sweating a lot," Grandpa Rom said in a muffled voice, looking at Felt's drenched appearance.
"It's nothing." Felt shook her head, picked up the water on the table and drank it all in one gulp before sitting down to catch her breath.
Has that person arrived?
Ferut bit her lip: "I'm not taking on badge-stealing jobs anymore."
"Oh? Are you being watched? Or is that person really that powerful?"
Grandpa Rom felt something was strange.
There's nothing here that Ferut can't steal.
“Yes, I have them all.” Felt trusted Lord Rom completely, and she said, slumped on the table in frustration:
"I met a very strange person today, and I almost got kidnapped. Mr. Rom, do you think I might be a long-lost child from some family?"
"Hahahahahaha..."
Firut's words made Rom burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at... I am, I am serious."
Felt slammed his fist on the table in annoyance, which stopped Rom's deep, muffled but clearly cheerful laughter. He then said:
"You're just a child I picked up. If you really are the daughter of some noble person, don't forget the kindness of Grandpa Rom when you go to enjoy your life."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ferut rolled her eyes.
"I'm not leaving here. That strange man... but I've already escaped. He's obviously from out of town and doesn't know the rules here. He thinks he can catch me again? Hmph, dream on." (End of Chapter)
Chapter 318 Elsa the Bowel Hunter
After being subjected to a cognitive ambiguity treatment, Lin Yan sat to the side, unable to resist the urge to applaud.
They're so confident, actually thinking of escaping right under my nose.
Just as Felt entered the room, Lin Yan also went in, but neither Rom nor Felt noticed.
This shows that the ceiling of this world isn't actually that high.
The rest of their casual conversation reached Lin Yan's ears without missing a word. Listening to these mundane details of daily life, he actually felt a unique sense of warmth.
Even though it may seem like living in a slum, as long as you have hope in your heart, anywhere can be a source of inspiration.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk"
A slow, deliberate knock echoed in the dimly lit tavern. Rom and Felt exchanged a glance.
"Maybe he's my guest. I'll go check." Ferut glanced at the faint slanting sunlight filtering through the window, pursed her delicate lips, but still jumped off the stool and walked towards the door.
At the same time, the strong, mountain-like Rom picked up a huge, baseball bat-like weapon from the shelf next to him.
The giants' strength is their innate advantage, and it's unlikely that any other race could wield such a robust weapon.
"This is the first time I've failed a mission... It's really frustrating."
Ferut opened the door while muttering to herself.
