Chapter 265 Urban Area
After the hovercar landed, Jiang Mian stepped out and saw the city, his expression momentarily dazed.

It was a strange feeling. She thought she would live here for decades in the future, and now she had arrived in this city, this city that belonged to Lin Yu, at an unexpected time.

This city is clearly not as magnificent and grand as it is a hundred years later; it looks rather old, probably because it hasn't fully developed yet.

After all, the orcs have only just risen to power, and the whole world is in chaos.

"What's wrong?" Rong Fei, who was standing next to her, noticed her gaze, gently took her hand, and asked her softly.

Jiang Mian seemed to snap out of her daze and shook her head: "It's nothing."

The other beastmen glanced at her silently, saying nothing, probably trying to figure out what she was thinking.

Or do you want to know what's different about this city?
"Let's go inside." Lin Yu walked over, took Jiang Mian's hand, and led her inside. "Let's go to my villa."

Jiang Mian followed Lin Yu, and the other beastmen naturally followed behind.

She walked through the city, which felt both familiar and unfamiliar, feeling quite curious.

However, this novelty wore off quickly.

Chi Lin swaggered over, grabbed the white fox ears on her head with one hand, and laughed: "Sister, are you wearing fake fox ears...?"

Before he could finish the last word, his expression faltered, and his fingers unconsciously grabbed her fox ears and ruffled them again. "Really, really?"

Before Chi Lin could react, Jiang Mian slapped his hand away and gave a forced smile: "If it's not real, then is it fake?"

During those days flying on the starship with Rin Yu, her fluffy ears gradually grew out; they were the ears of a white fox.

The fox's ears grew extremely fast and were fully grown in no time.

Although Jiang Mian felt a little awkward about turning from a human into a beastman, she quickly accepted it after a few days.

Fortunately, it didn't turn into some cold-blooded animal, but into a white fox.

However, even if she transforms into a white fox, she cannot become a complete fox.

In other words, she is a half-beast.

It only has ears and a tail; it can't transform into a beast at all.

And sometimes, her ears and tail would inexplicably retract and disappear, and she would suddenly turn into a human again.

This medicine is indeed full of side effects.

Fortunately, these side effects are still within a tolerable range.

Chi Lin's fingers went numb, and he stared blankly at her. He then moved closer to Jiang Mian and walked forward with her, his voice light and seductive: "Sister, you look so beautiful. Can I touch your ears later?"

Jiang Mian reached out and pushed his head away: "Sorry, it's not your turn to serve me in bed today."

Before Chi Lin could react, a figure walked over and pushed him aside, smiling gently: "Yes, it's my turn to serve you in bed today."

Jiang Mian paused for a moment. Today really was Rong Fei. However, seeing the slightly dark gaze that fell on her ear, she felt a little uneasy, afraid that she would be played with badly.

Moreover, it seemed that when they heard that the fox ears were real and not fake, the other beastmen looked at her differently.

They had initially thought she was wearing fake mechanical ears or a fake mechanical tail as a disguise. At that time, they had only glanced at it casually and thought it looked really good and suited her perfectly, but they felt it was a pity since it wasn't real. But now that they said it was real, that was a different story.

If that were true, things would be very different. Despite being pushed aside, Chi Lin persisted, pressing closer: "Sister, I won't serve you in bed, but I do want to touch you, okay?"

"I'm worried you won't be able to control yourself, so let's just forget it," Jiang Mian said with a light cough.

Chi Lin swallowed hard and said softly, "I will control myself."

"I'm really sorry, you'll just have to wait until tomorrow to hold on." Beneath Rong Fei's calm smile lay a deep distance.

Chi Lin's lips twitched slightly. Tomorrow was his turn to serve the emperor. How could he possibly maintain any composure? He definitely wouldn't be able to control himself at all.

"Oh well, then." Chi Lin felt a pang of regret; the sensation from just now seemed to linger in his palm, making his heart itch.

Many orcs on the road saw Lin Yu and called him "Lord of the City".

Lin Yu simply nodded.

The orcs' curious gazes fell on Jiang Mian, thinking that this orc was really handsome and must be their city lord's partner.

Since they've never seen the city lord with any girl by his side, this girl must be his partner.

Jiang Mian also felt the intense gazes of those orcs, but they were all kind and did not make her feel uncomfortable.

"Lord, is this your partner?" An old orc carrying a vegetable basket walked up to Lin Yu and asked.

Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, she is my partner, her name is Jiang Mian."

"Greetings, Madam. Although our city lord has a somewhat aloof personality, he is extremely capable. You will surely enjoy a life of luxury following him in the future." The old orc smiled and looked at Jiang Mian.

"Okay, okay." Jiang Mian smiled a little shyly.

"Are these all your friends? They're all incredibly handsome." The old orc chuckled, looking at Jiang Mian.

So this question was clearly directed at Jiang Mian. It's likely that the questioner knew Lin Yu didn't have many friends, so they assumed it was Jiang Mian's friend.

“These are my companions too,” Jiang Mian said with a shy smile.

The old orc was very surprised, and then looked at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu was silent for a moment, then nodded almost imperceptibly: "That's how it is."

The old orc was surprised again, then looked at Jiang Mian and said, "Little girl, none of those are as handsome as our city lord. You must take good care of our city lord in the future. He has had a hard time getting to where he is today."

Jiang Mian paused for a moment and then nodded: "That's natural."

She never saw this old orc in the future, does that mean he was already dead when she was born?
Jiang Mian seemed to have heard Lin Yu mention that he had met an old orc who scavenged for garbage in the past. The orc took pity on him and gave him a steamed bun to eat. At that time, he was someone else's beast slave and was arbitrarily beaten, scolded, and sold.

That was probably the only glimmer of kindness he ever showed.

That's why he saved her in that alley, as if he saw his past self in her.

The old orc said nothing more and left.

After Lin Yu led them to the villa, he naturally only arranged accommodation for Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian discovered that this was actually the room she had lived in before, and right next to it was Lin Yu's room. The fact that Lin Yu had been able to live in the same room for a hundred years was truly remarkable.
