Chapter 25
Ch.25 Absolutely Will Not Encounter
“Let’s wander around first.”
When Luo Nan entered this free market built on the edge of the old underground city ruins, he felt rather excited.
Nothing else—it was simply that this place had witnessed the growth of several female protagonists. Even though, at this current timeline, many plots hailed as ‘classics’ in his past hadn’t yet occurred, Luo Nan still wanted to visit those locations in advance.
‘I’m just going to take a look at the plot points—surely that won’t cause any worldline changes, right?’
Thinking this, Luo Nan temporarily changed direction and headed toward those scenic spots from his memories.
“This is the place—the debut location of another female protagonist, ‘Silver Moon’s Sky Wolf.’”
Luo Nan stopped, his gaze fixed on the shop ahead, decorated in an elegant style, with two scantily clad wolf-eared maids standing outside.
“Snow Wolf Lily’s Cottage.”
Needless to say, this was precisely the place to sign ‘long-term labor contracts’ with ‘Snow Wolf Maids’.
Although called ‘long-term labor contracts’, this was merely a superficial term, a workaround to circumvent the《Imperial Constitution》.
In essence, long-term labor contracts were slave contracts.
Therefore, don’t be fooled by the fresh, elegant decor of ‘Snow Wolf Lily’s Cottage’, making it seem like some cozy healing retreat—it was, in fact, a slave trading house.
And one specializing in Snow Wolf beastkin from the northern Rosian Empire!
Those Snow Wolf tribes originally living on the snowy plains, after being raided and suppressed by the Rosian Empire’s army, all became slaves.
Most were thrown into mines by the Rosians; a small number of female Snow Wolf beastkin with beautiful faces and fine appearances were selected and exported to southern countries to generate foreign currency for the Rosian Empire.
‘I wonder where that ‘Silver Moon Sky Wolf’ is right now—has she been captured by the Rosians yet?’
In the original plot, the ‘Silver Moon Sky Wolf’ made her debut after the start of the Radiant University term, rescued by ‘Chosen Hero’ Anya Sivans from ‘Snow Wolf Lily’s Cottage’ in the Whisper Market, subsequently becoming a member of Anya’s protagonist team.
‘The timelines don’t match up—I absolutely cannot encounter her.’
After confirming this trip carried no risk, Luo Nan smoothed his luxurious black cloak and stepped toward Snow Wolf Lily’s Cottage.
“Welcome~”
“Esteemed guest, please come inside~”
It must be said, although this was an evil slave trading house, their service attitude was indeed attentive.
The moment Luo Nan showed intent to enter, the two Snow Wolf maids standing before him surrounded him.
Their low-cut maid uniforms exposed large expanses of plump, snowy white flesh; their fair skin mixed with specially blended perfume surged into Luo Nan’s mind, causing his blood to flow slightly faster.
The two Snow Wolf maids embraced Luo Nan’s arms, one on each side, their full chests pressed tightly against his arms. Their ultra-short maid skirts, barely reaching the knees, paired with low-denier sheer black stockings, displayed the word ‘temptation’ to the fullest.
They smiled like flowers, their two wolf tails extending from waist-level slits now held high aloft, like dogs begging for food.
Luo Nan looked at the slave collars around the necks of these two Snow Wolf girls and sighed imperceptibly.
‘Indeed, they’re ‘domesticated dogs’—long ago stripped of the wolf’s pride and wildness.’
Most of these defeated Snow Wolf beastkin tribe members met tragic fates; those standing before Luo Nan, serving as the slave trader’s facade, were already extremely fortunate.
Their other tribespeople either died in some mine shaft or… died in some perverted rich man’s basement.
As someone possessing past memories, Luo Nan strongly opposed this evil trade, but he also knew it was an inevitable product of the era.
He currently had neither the heart nor the power to change it, even though his name bore ‘Medillion’.
“Never mind—I can barely protect myself; how could I possibly consider rescuing others?”
“Might as well properly enjoy the privileges befitting the feudal noble class.”
“Enjoying the moment is not without merit.”
Saying this, Luo Nan, surrounded by the two charming Snow Wolf maids, walked into the interior of the trading house.
The interior decoration style matched the exterior—gentle, warm-toned lighting poured down, and soothing, slow-paced light music flowed like a clear spring, unconsciously relaxing the mind and body.
As a slave trading house selling ‘Snow Wolf Maids’, naturally, it had to be responsible for customer experience—thus, all kinds of ‘service rooms’ were abundantly available.
Luo Nan could even faintly hear soft, lingering moans drifting up from underground.
Probably some customer was experiencing the ‘maid service package’.
“Oh my, esteemed guest, welcome to Snow Wolf Lily’s Cottage. This is your first time here, right? Fis, Lir, you two go downstairs first—this esteemed guest will be guided by me~”
An even more seductive voice came from inside the trading house. Luo Nan turned toward the sound and saw a mature, gorgeous Snow Wolf head maid gracefully approaching.
“Yes, Sister.”
“Yes, Sister.”
The two Snow Wolf maids who had been clinging to Luo Nan’s arms reluctantly left his side, bowed slightly to the gorgeous Snow Wolf head maid, and returned to the shop entrance.
“My name is Shion. I’m the manager of Snow Wolf Lily’s Cottage. Is this gentleman here to experience our maid services?”
Having served as manager for many years, Shion naturally possessed the keen eye to instantly discern a guest’s status.
Although customers in the Whisper Market all concealed their identities, Shion could gauge a target customer’s wealth level merely from the tools they used to conceal their identities.
Like this ‘Golden Crow-Beak Mask’ gentleman—if Shion wasn’t mistaken, that mask was a magic tool blended with partial precious metals and magic-conducting metals. Combined with the cloak he wore, woven from supernatural threads, this entire outfit couldn’t have cost less than 200 gold Faras!
Keep in mind, the most expensive Snow Wolf maid contract in the shop was only 60 gold Faras!
“I’ve encountered a big client!” This was Shion’s motive for personally intercepting Luo Nan.
“I’m just looking around.” Luo Nan responded somewhat absentmindedly.
“Oh, how careless of me—I haven’t even asked, how should I address this gentleman?”
“Crow.”
Luo Nan randomly thought of a codename while subtly avoiding Shion, who was trying to press close.
He had no interest in this kind of ‘battle-hardened’ older woman.
Moreover, as a Snow Wolf beastkin herself, she was actually serving humans as a lackey, engaging in the business of selling her own kin.
As a human, Luo Nan couldn’t say he hated her actions, but personally, he truly disliked this kind of person.
Seeing Luo Nan avoid her intimate gesture, Shion wasn’t embarrassed—instantly, she displayed strong situational adaptability and smiled:
“Mr. Crow, the maids up front are all of inferior skill. Let me lead you to the back for a visit—there are our shop’s highest-quality maids!”
“Mm, let’s go.”
Withdrawing his gaze, Luo Nan followed Shion through the cozy front area and headed underground.
