"Tch, what a joke, turns out he's just a rich kid who relies on his father and has no real ability of his own."

Ishida smirked and said sarcastically.

"I'm very capable too, okay!"

Robin roared, his narrowed eyes widening to 5 millimeters in anger.

"Oh? So you have a lot of treasures? We won't let you suffer a loss. You bring out your treasures, and we'll buy them with our money. It's a fair trade."

Ishida rubbed his hands together excitedly. If he had a sharp kitchen knife, he could cook the monster meat much better.

"Well... even if I had them, I wouldn't carry them around. It would be such a huge loss if they got lost. I've kept them in a safe place."

Robin hung the backpack around his neck, making sure it was in his sight. "If I find anything suitable for you, I'll definitely sell it to you."

"Besides, didn't you see my backpack before? It just contained some ordinary goods, nothing valuable."

Upon hearing Robin's words, Zhang Xiaoyuan stroked her chin, recalling that she had emptied Robin's backpack earlier and found that there was indeed nothing of value inside.

That being the case...

"Let's go, let's get into the city as soon as possible to exchange the cloves for silver coins and buy resurrection potions."

As she spoke, Zhang Xiaoyuan's gaze swept over Hou Mu and Robin.

The group continued on their way.

As they got closer to the city of Kro, the number of magical beasts they encountered along the way decreased.

At the same time, I also saw all sorts of races.

Several indigenous people from the "Show Dogs" tribe, dressed in ripped jeans and holding guitars, performed a traditional folk dance while playing drums.

"Woof! Woof woof——"

There's not even a need for lights, because the dog-loving group itself emits light.

"Hmph, a bunch of radical bastards, instead of doing business properly, they're showing off here, directly lowering the status of the Show Dog Clan by a whole level!"

Robin felt a surge of anger when he saw this group of people flaunting their dogs and asking for tips by the roadside.

"What does the dog-flaunting tribe have to do with you?" Ishida swayed his body to the rhythm of the dog-flaunting tribe.

Even though you can't understand what the other person is saying, it's easy to get excited and stir up other people's emotions.

"Have you ever heard of 'fox friends'? My ancestors were once good friends with the dog clan. The dog clan is so shameless, aren't they throwing my fox clan's face to the ground too?!"

Robin, his face dark, quickened his pace and hurried past the area.

A teahouse stands at the city gate.

The teahouse was simply decorated, occupied a large area, and was built entirely of ordinary bamboo, but it was always packed with customers.

The teahouse's waitresses are all female animals with animal ears—cat ears, dog ears, elephant ears, tiger ears… they come from all sorts of races.

"Oh my, this tea looks so fragrant, I want to drink some too."

Ishida's eyes lit up, and saliva involuntarily dripped from the corner of his mouth. He seemed rooted to the spot, unable to move his feet at all.

"Ha, look at your pathetic appearance."

Robin glanced at Ishida with disdain, thinking he was naive and unsophisticated.

Robin strolled forward slowly, and before he could say anything, gasps of surprise rang out from the teahouse.

"Oh, isn't this Brother Luo? What brings you to our humble place today? Come in to a private room."

"Sisters, Brother Luo is here! Come quick!"

"..."

For a time, the shy voices of beast-eared girls from various races could be heard continuously.

"Damn! This fox is so clever!"

Ishida was envious and wished he could replace Robin.

Suddenly, a girl with pig ears and animal ears walked towards Zhang Xiaoyuan and her companions, and said softly:

"Brother Luo said that you are his friends, and since you are human and it's your first time here, you can experience the Supreme Set Meal for free."

"The Supreme Set Meal?"

Ci Nianyun frowned. What was this? It didn't sound like a "good word".

"Oh dear, there's another girl here. It's a pity we're in a remote little town and don't offer the 'strong animal-eared boy' service, otherwise you would definitely be satisfied."

The pig-eared, beast-eared girl placed her hand on Ci Nianyun's shoulder and gently blew on Ci Nianyun's ear.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Ci Nianyun trembled and hurriedly pushed the beast-eared girl aside. Her fair cheeks instantly turned crimson, and her heart pounded violently, making it difficult for her to calm down.

"Hehe, thank you so much for the hospitality."

Ishida thanked her and followed the pig-eared, beast-eared girl into the teahouse.

Even though there's a beautiful captain by my side, what's the point of just looking at her if you can't actually eat her?!

"Heh~ I never thought I, Old Stone, would have such a good time. It seems I should be kinder to Robin in the future."

Zhang Xiaoyuan stood there silently for a moment, then finally followed them into the teahouse.

"With so many people inside, we might overhear some useful information and secrets, and find out the whereabouts of some treasures."

"Yes, I came in to gather intelligence, not to enjoy myself."

Hou Mu followed silently, his heart filled with excitement. He never expected to be able to enjoy himself like this before leaving this world. It was worth dying for!

Seeing that her teammates had all entered the teahouse, Ci Nianyun felt it wouldn't be good for her to stand outside alone, since they were a team.

"Hmph, I'm going in to keep an eye on you. I can't let you get carried away with pleasure and forget about our business!"

Ci Nianyun's expression turned serious as she strode into the teahouse.

Upon entering the teahouse, Zhang Xiaoyuan felt a sense of relief.

The bamboo and wood walls inside are painted in various colors and have a faint floral fragrance.

The interior is decorated with sparkling gemstones and seashells, making it appear bright rather than dark.

This contrasts sharply with the simple bamboo houses outside, creating a strong sense of contrast.

The pig-eared, animal-eared girl kept moving forward, and Zhang Xiaoyuan felt that she had turned about ten corners before stopping.

"Everyone, we've arrived."

Zhang Xiaoyuan and the other three felt a flash before their eyes, and the blinding light made it take them two and a half minutes to open their eyes.

"Are there any dog-flaunting groups performing here?" Ishida rubbed his dry eyes.

"So many gems!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was extremely surprised.

Although these gems can only temporarily increase a few points of ability, they are of high aesthetic value and very expensive; one wall was even covered with them.

Isn't this a remote little town? The decorations are so luxurious; it seems the Kemonomimi Tea House is quite well-funded.

"It would be great if we could just seize it and take it with us."

"Please come in."

After the pig-eared and beast-eared girl finished speaking, the magnificent bamboo door, studded with jewels, suddenly opened, and Zhang Xiaoyuan and the others were greeted by nine hot-bodied and scantily clad beast-eared girls.

"Is this the 'Supreme Set Meal'? I like it, but where's the '5'?"

Ishida wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and asked excitedly.

"Mind your image, and don't forget our goal."

Ci Nianyun frowned and slapped Ishida's shoulder hard.

"Ouch, Captain, why did you hit me? Look at Yuan-ge, his eyes are shining!" Ishida cried out in pain.

"Ok?"

Ci Nianyun stepped forward and looked at Zhang Xiaoyuan, only to find that Zhang Xiaoyuan's eyes were wide open in an "O" shape and even emitted a faint green light.
