Chapter 1164: Section 716: Factory (1)

After Malin loosened his internal strength, what was very strange to him was that apart from the big fellow finally being able to sense Malin’s strength, a few bunny and sheep beastman Immortal Masters no longer fainted upon seeing Malin or jumped out of the window directly.

This made Bei Luo very curious, so he specifically asked a bunny gentleman who came later to look at Malin in his reserved state and came to a conclusion—there was absolutely no problem.

This gentleman said that when Malin was completely restrained, his instincts did not send any alarms.

This could not explain why the previous two were so impulsive—it was simply the reaction of weaker beastmen when encountering a natural enemy. According to Bei Luo, the sheep girl must have estimated the strength comparison between her and Malin. Just with a slight possibility, this ram-type beastman would probably rush over and knock Malin’s lungs out.

Powerless, Malin could only wait until the interview was over, and after deciding on the candidates with Bei Luo, head to the medical area in the back to check on the bunny—according to the soldiers outside who witnessed the sheep girl jump out of the window, when she jumped out, she immediately activated a teleportation channel to escape, and now, who knows where she might be hiding.

Since the interview had concluded, Malin no longer restrained his strength. When opening the door, he happened to see Miss Ling Zuo Zuo chatting with Qu Yi.

"Ah, you two know each other." Malin scratched his head, feeling that the world was too small.

"Yes, Zuo Zuo is a very outstanding Immortal Master, much more powerful than a half-baked War Witch like me. But what did you do to scare Zuo Zuo like that? I heard Sister Cui Yan Hai even jumped out of a window?"

"How would I know? I was just helping Bei Luo with an interview, and he told me to restrain myself. I have no idea why they got so scared upon seeing me."

"Because Mr. Malin... is just like a predator." This was how Ling Zuo Zuo put it.

Malin paused, then restrained his aura: "What about now?"

"Knowing Mr. Malin isn’t a monster, there are no such excessive reactions anymore." Ling Zuo Zuo explained.

This made Malin slap his forehead—it made sense; indeed, as Ling Zuo Zuo said, they, as herbivorous beastmen, are naturally sensitive to danger. Upon achieving Legendary Immortal Master status, their instincts would become highly attuned. So when a child with a completely restrained aura appears before them, they would scrutinize the child, and in an instant, their sensitive survival instincts would magnify the danger hundreds of times. Ling Zuo Zuo, being a weaker beastman, passed out on the spot when escape by pulling the door was in vain.

As for Cui Yan Hai... this sheep girl, whose curled horns were seventy percent as good-looking as Lillim’s, obviously launched a battle howl at first. However, due to the overwhelming danger and terror, her battle howl went off-key, and then, upon confirming the disparity between her and the enemy, she charged towards the window. At that moment, her survival instincts took over her thoughts and actions.

"Seriously, Malin, think about your strength." Qu Yi complained about Malin’s restrained behavior: "What if someone with a weak heart gets scared to death?"

"Who knew I would appear so terrifying in their eyes." Malin said as he used Spiritual Energy to slice two apples, giving one to each of them as a token of goodwill.

"Mr. Malin is truly very powerful. With you joining this mission, we will definitely succeed. I, I also want to join."

"Of course, there’s no problem, Zuo Zuo, you are a very powerful Immortal Master." Qu Yi comforted her.

After all, Immortal Masters are of the mage lineage. Even if they can’t follow Malin and the others into the factory for a clear-out, assisting the soldiers of the Pioneer Corps in cleaning up the periphery is a very good choice. Malin was just about to agree when he heard the door open.

A young male bunny pushed the door open: "Sister!"

Following him came two elder long-eared parents.

They first greeted their daughter, then Meng Qu Yi, whom they seemed to know as well.

Then they noticed Malin in the corner.

The male bunny let out a sharp scream, clutched his chest, and fell to the ground.

The mother of the family stretched out her hand to drag her son out of the room, shouting for the shopkeeper to leave quickly. The shopkeeper she was referring to finally trembled and grabbed a folding chair by the wall, rushing over to fight Malin with all his might. Subsequently, he got hung upside down from the ceiling by the protective World Tree Sapling.

Qu Yi remained silent for a while, looking at Malin who was covering his face: "Did you not cancel your restraint?"

Malin nodded: "Yeah."

Today was indeed too embarrassing.

......

After finally bringing that little bunny back from the brink of death, Malin sat innocently in front of the family of four. Knowing Malin’s true identity made the family both awkward and amused, but out of respect for the Legendary figure, they struggled to hold their laughter.

Malin specifically took out a six-pack of potions as a token of apology. Ling Zuo Zuo’s family might not know the value of such things, but she did, and the bunny girl refused to accept them even at the risk of her life, which made Malin very curious.

Soon before he left, he asked Meng Qu Yi to inquire why the girl refused them.

Then Malin left the hospital room, heading towards the main door, while Bei Luo was just about to get into the car at the time. He waved at Malin.

Malin walked over and leaned against the vehicle’s outer shell, but with the scorching sun, even with Malin’s physique, he wouldn’t want to lean against a piece of metal heated by the hot waves.
