Chapter: Chapter 361
Yes, after eliminating all impossibilities, the remaining is the truth. It is highly likely that a god is hidden behind this kitten girl. Although I don’t know why that god would hide this kitten girl’s special traits and watch her being sold as a slave.
However, such a god does exist.
The god of the beastmen? Leticia doesn’t know much about this race. Her impressions mostly come from what others have said. Most of them are brainless berserkers, beasts that howl when they go to war, and so on, full of prejudice and discrimination.
Although the beastmen are listed among the four major races, they are almost unanimously despised by the other three races. The reason is simple: they are not good-looking.
It goes without saying that elves have very high average颜值. Even the demon race, with its many oddities, can surpass the beastmen in颜值, which is quite laughable.
The gap becomes even more apparent when the leaders of the four races stand together. The human side likely consists of some energetic old people. Although not necessarily good-looking, their temperament is well-controlled.
The elf side is undoubtedly Evangeline. This half-elf girl has inherited the consistent high颜值 of the elven royal family.
Leticia, of course, needs no further introduction. She is one of the few girls who can rival Bai Ling in beauty.
Now, let’s turn our attention back to the beastmen. Who is their leader? It’s a two-meter-tall, huge, strong man with a lion’s head!
He also has several scars on his face!
If you say he’s ugly, he’s not really. He’s even a bit handsome, but he’s really not in line with大众’s aesthetic. Those who like this type are ultimately a minority.
Kitten girls like this fair-skinned, beautiful cat-eared girl are extremely rare beastmen mutated species, not even one in tens of millions of beastmen.
“Do you know the god behind her?” Leticia asked.
Yin shook her head decisively. She had not left the human world since she woke up. How could she know the gods of the beastmen? As for whether she had seen them a long time ago, she couldn’t remember clearly.
In the divine era, everyone’s territory was so vast. They were constantly fighting, so they didn’t have the energy to get to know strange gods millions of miles away.
“Perhaps I know, but after such a long time, it’s hard for me to remember clearly,” Yin said helplessly to Leticia. “But we should be able to ask this little girl?”
It would be wonderful if this kitten girl had any impression of that god.
“That makes sense.”
So the two gods crowded around the kitten girl, with kind smiles on their faces, and began to ask her about her specific situation one after another.
The kitten girl was very cooperative, perhaps because her long-term suffering had smoothed out all her rough edges. She was now like a helpless little kitten, answering Leticia and Yin’s questions in great detail.
The orange kitten curled up with her knees hugged, telling her story intermittently.
The matter was very simple. The kitten girl was born in a medium-sized tribe of the beastmen. Her father was the tribal chief, and her mother was an inconspicuous one among her father’s many wives.
The kitten girl’s name was Victoria Orange Ear, a very un-beastly name. It was said that her father randomly picked it from a dictionary.
Perhaps because the little Victoria didn’t look like a beastman at all when she was born, if it weren’t for the cat ears on her head and the cat tail on her back, her father might have suspected that a vast grassland was growing on top of his head.
The Orange Ear family was very prosperous, but Victoria was obviously the most conspicuous one, as she was the only one with a physique closer to humans. Her body was weak, and besides her excellent recovery ability, she seemed to have no other beastman characteristics.
While her brothers and sisters were already taking up arms and fighting against hostile tribes on the great plains, she could only cower in her small room, listening to others’ sarcastic remarks. She had no talent, neither in combat nor in daily life.
Well, she had a great talent as a provider of alchemy materials, Leticia added in her heart.
However, she didn’t say it out loud. After all, it was still the kitten girl’s turn to narrate. Whatever she had to say, she would wait until the girl finished her story.
Leticia already knew the subsequent development of the story. The Orange Ear tribe was targeted by several tribes in a conflict. The chief and a large number of warriors were ambushed and killed, and the remaining tribal members were captured by those tribes and became slaves.
As the chief’s daughter, Victoria was considered a rather precious war prize. The beastmen who looted the Orange Ear tribe originally intended to hand Victoria over to their tribal chief. After all, beastmen didn’t dislike fair and tender kitten girls; some beastmen were quite into it.
But at that moment, a human merchant appeared. No one knew why the merchant appeared in the Orange Ear tribe. Perhaps he smelled business opportunities, or perhaps he was just passing by. Anyway, he happened to see several fierce-looking pig-headed men pulling the kitten girl’s hair and about to throw her into a prison cart.
The moment the merchant saw the kitten girl, he made up his mind to snatch her from the beastmen. Such a beautiful cat-eared girl could be sold for a good price in the central city.
This was almost a risk-free, highly profitable business. As a merchant, how could he give it up?
So he stepped forward and started talking to those pig-headed men. Finally, with his eloquent persuasion, he exchanged the kitten girl for meat equivalent to three times her weight.
After succeeding, fearing that the slow-witted pig-headed men might go back on their word, he rushed back to the human world day and night, and finally resold the kitten girl to the auction house organizers, making a large sum of money.
How did the kitten girl know this? Because the merchant did not avoid the kitten girl at all when he traded with others. She clearly remembered the price at which she was traded.
“This is all I know…” The kitten girl named Victoria wiped away her tears and ended her narration in a soft voice. It was evident that her experiences in recent days had left her with severe psychological trauma.
Leticia and Yin exchanged glances, seeing the same disappointed emotion in each other’s eyes. What they wanted to know was not this kitten’s life experience at all.
Neither Leticia nor Yin was very interested in the life experiences of this kitten. They did not have the leisure to care about the fate of a fallen beastman tribe.
“Did any mysterious and suspicious people appear and say strange things to you, or grope your head?” Leticia asked, still unwilling to give up. Gods who wanted to cause trouble usually appeared in this way, right?
The kitten girl showed a thoughtful expression, and after a moment, she shook her head. “I always lived in my father’s camp and had almost no chance to go out. Besides my mother and siblings, I haven’t seen anyone else.”
She was not like those siblings who could run around the entire tribe. Having no strength since the day she was born, she had basically never gone out.
Mysterious and suspicious people, she had no possibility of meeting them.
“This kitten isn’t lying, what do you think?” Yin hid in the corner again. Leticia glanced at the kitten girl who was looking this way and quietly asked for the goddess’s opinion.
“I can’t figure anything out just by looking, but the seal on her is indeed the work of a fellow race member,” Yin replied softly. She could be 100% sure that the kitten girl Victoria had a restriction placed on her by another god. “Perhaps it was placed without the little girl’s knowledge, or when she was very young…”
There were many possibilities, but thinking about them now was of no use. They were not going to the beastmen world immediately, and being able to buy this kitten girl was already a stroke of luck.
“Can you break the restriction on her?”
“Sure, if you give me some time, but there’s no need.” Yin shrugged. “With this restriction, this kitten looks like an ordinary beastman from the outside. If it’s removed, she’ll immediately become a hot commodity, and most people will be tempted by such a defenseless little creature, won’t they?”
And Yin didn’t have enough strength to protect such a treasure.
Her personal strength was very strong, but her subordinates were not. If her enemies attacked her subordinates, it would be enough to make Yin extremely frustrated. It was better not to remove the seal on Victoria and let her continue to maintain her current state.
This is called biding one’s time. It’s not good to like to show off.
“Since you’ve made your decision, I won’t say anything more… Oh, I’ll take this blood. I’ll take it.” Leticia shook the crystal tube in her hand. “This blood can be used to make several tubes of advanced healing potions.”
“Oh, can you demonstrate it on the spot?” A flicker of interest flashed in Yin’s eyes. “Let me see your true skills.”
“Hey, such simple potions can’t show my true skills, sister.” Leticia laughed heartily, not showing any signs of guilt. “But before that, I have to get someone to send me some raw materials.”
After having her maid send over some raw materials for healing potions, Leticia beckoned Yin and Victoria closer. She was about to begin her alchemy performance.
“Ordinary alchemists handle materials with their hands, but these rules don’t apply to me, so my work efficiency surpasses almost all alchemists,” Leticia said as she magically processed various floating raw materials.
Then, with a wave of her hand, several beautiful crystal utensils were created, and the freshly processed raw materials fell into the crystal utensils for further processing.
As for Leticia herself, she even had the leisure to chat with Yin.
This move truly astonished Yin. The alchemists she had seen before were afraid of being disturbed when they were working. They often locked themselves in their rooms and didn’t let anyone in, for fear that some ignorant guy would interfere with the extremely precise alchemy process.
But Leticia completely subverted Yin’s impression. The way she chatted and laughed made people can’t help but think that this was the true demeanor of a master.
Even the kitten girl, who didn’t have much experience, showed an expression of admiration. She couldn’t understand it, but the objects moving in the air were enough to tell her that this was not something ordinary people could do.
Through multi-threaded processing, the raw materials had been processed into medicinal liquids of various colors and with exotic fragrances. Leticia snapped her fingers, summoning a small magic array spewing green flames, and placed it beneath an empty crystal cup.
Then, she poured the medicinal liquids in order and stirred them constantly. During this process, Leticia also put away her previous laziness and carefully controlled the speed of pouring the medicinal liquids and the rate of stirring with a serious expression.
As the medicinal liquids were poured in one by one, a pleasant fragrance drifted from the crystal cup, making the kitten girl beside her show an expression of enjoyment. Even the semi-finished product had such an effect, and the finished product’s effect would probably be quite terrifying.
Thinking so, Yin slowed her breathing as much as possible, afraid that her breath would disturb Leticia’s alchemy process.
Finally, all the medicinal liquids were poured into the cup, and the next most important step was to put Victoria’s blood into the cup.
“The moment to witness the miracle has arrived, sister.” Leticia, holding the blood she had taken from the kitten girl earlier, walked to the boiling medicinal liquid and poured the blood from the tube into the cup without hesitation.
During its fall, the blood was quickly and finely processed by magic, removing impurities and leaving only extremely pure life energy.
With a “hiss,” a large amount of white mist gushed out of the cup. Yin’s heart tightened, and she thought that Leticia’s alchemy had failed again. However, an aroma filled with rich vitality followed, and her expression relaxed.
Undoubtedly, Leticia had succeeded.
When the white mist dispersed, Leticia had already poured the finished potion into four small tubes. The potion was a beautiful pale yellow, with specks of red light floating in it.
“Truly astonishing skill. I acknowledge your strength, good sister.” Yin also used the address Leticia used for her. Leticia’s display of skill truly made her feel that she hadn’t found the wrong person.
“I am very strong, humph humph.” Leticia proudly handed a tube to Yin. “This potion is a sample. As long as there’s a breath left, pouring this potion in will save you. Of course, for people like us, the effect will be weakened.”
