At the hotel.

  Ye Lan slowly opened her drowsy eyes and stretched her arms.

  "Ah, that nap was incredibly refreshing. No doubt, this is what a true luxury suite feels like. By the way, it’s been days since I st took a proper bath, this is the perfect time for a shower" she murmured, rubbing her eyes as she made her way toward the bathroom.

  While any high-grade equipment, especially the [Phantom Star] Set, of purple grade, could maintain perfect cleanliness during use. Ye Lan, who had once been a man, with a (not so) slight obsession with cleanliness, was adamant about bathing daily, regardless of the season.

  As for clothing, this was a presidential suite. The wardrobe had to be stocked with ready-to-wear options for both men and women. After all, what kind of room charged 100,000 a day without such amenities?

  Approaching the wardrobe, Ye Lan opened it with a calm demeanor, though inwardly prepared. Yet she still couldn’t help but be surprised by the abundance of garments inside.

  The men’s clothing seemed ordinary enough, but the women’s outfits were... too beautiful!

  Almost involuntarily, her hand reached out for one of the dresses. The moment her fingers brushed the fabric, her body shivered, and she quickly retracted her hand.

  "No way! I’m a man! Wearing something like this as part of equipment is one thing, but there’s no way I can wear women’s clothes in my everyday life!" she muttered, shaking her head firmly. Suppressing her curiosity, she grabbed the nearest set of men’s clothing instead.

  The moment she touched the dress, a sudden force erupted, repelling Ye Lan's hand.

  "What the hell!?" she excimed, staring first at her hand and then back at the clothing in confusion. A system panel promptly appeared in front of her.

  [Note: The character’s gender is female. Only female clothing can be equipped; clothing of another gender cannot be equipped.]

  "..........." She was stunned into silence. Taking a couple of steps back, she clenched her fists in frustration. Ruthless! Absolutely ruthless!

  With no other option, she reluctantly reached for an outfit resembling a JK-style uniform. There was no other choice, the rest of the clothing didn’t match her sense of aesthetics, especially considering she was in U.S. territory.

  Holding the chosen outfit, Ye Lan turned and entered the bathroom. She pced the clothes on a nearby rack, turned on the faucet, and just as she was about to open the system menu to unequip [Phantom Star], a sudden chill ran down her spine.

  [Sixth Sense - Activated]

  "Something’s off. There’s something wrong with this bathroom" she muttered, narrowing her eyes. Using the beastkin race’s innate perception, she carefully scanned the bathroom walls.

  Sure enough, in a concealed corner, she spotted a micro-camera skillfully hidden within the decor.

  "Seriously? This? There’s no way a presidential suite would have something like this. Looks like those U.S. guys are taking precautions with me"

  She plucked the camera from its hiding spot, examined it briefly, and then, with a slight squeeze, crushed it into fine powder.

  She didn’t rush to resume her bath. Instead, she stepped out of the bathroom and meticulously searched the rest of the suite. As expected, she uncovered two additional micro-cameras and, more importantly, identified the real culprit.

  The artificial intelligence system, weakly hovering in one corner, was the source of her surveilnce woes. Ye Lan’s lips curled into a wry smile as she approached it. Lifting her foot, she brought it down decisively. With a loud crunch, the AI device was reduced to a pile of shattered mechanical parts.

  "Finally, I can bathe in peace"

  Stretching her arms above her head, she returned to the bathroom, indulging in a long, soothing shower. Emerging refreshed and invigorated, she dried off and slipped into the outfit she had chosen earlier. Feeling utterly rexed, she allowed herself to colpse onto the plush bed.

  Having unequipped [Phantom Star] and stored it in the system’s inventory, her attributes had dropped significantly without the equipment’s enhancements.

  With a swipe of her fingers through the air, she summoned her attribute panel.

  Name: Ye LanGender: FemaleRace: Beastkin; Feline SubgroupCss: PriestessLevel: 10Attack: 900Defense: 800Agility: 750Magic: 10

  Skills:

  Active: Blood Armor, CharmPassive: Beastkins Never Be Sves, Jiep Zheng (Water Cannon), Morning Grumpiness, Sixth Sense, Bloodthirst, Loli SanhaoEquipment: Phantom Star (Purple Rank, ability: Teleportation)

  As expected, after unequipping [Phantom Star], her attributes, which previously exceeded 1000 points, had dropped. However, it wasn’t too bad. At level 10, her base stats were still impressive, with her attack nearing four digits.

  She y on the bed, staring bnkly at the ceiling, blinking in boredom. I definitely can’t stay cooped up here. I’ll go for a walk

  Resolving to leave, Ye Lan reached for a light blue hat from the wardrobe and pced it on her head. She walked to the door and grasped the handle.

  [Sixth Sense - Activated]

  A sudden sharp jolt stopped her in her tracks. That ability was undeniably helpful, but the way it strained her senses was annoying.

  She pressed her ear against the door, listening carefully. Outside, she detected at least three men stationed nearby, undoubtedly tasked with monitoring her movements.

  Hmph. Just three guys? How insulting!

  Ye Lan let out a disdainful snort. From her past battles, she had already gauged her strength. Even without equipment, as a Beastkin and at level 10, no human below level 50 would stand a chance against her, much less stop her.

  "Still, I don’t want to cause a commotion just yet. I’ll let them off the hook for now. But if I decide to leave, there’s no way they’ll stop me~" she murmured with a smirk, striding toward the window.

  She slid the gss pane open, letting a soft breeze drift into the room. At 20 stories up, nearly 100 meters above the ground, the height posed no real danger to her. At most, she might lose a little HP, not exactly life-threatening. If anything, it seemed a bit dull.

  "Goodbye~" she chirped, adjusting her hat with one hand before leaping into the air.

  The rush of wind accompanied her descent as her body plummeted gracefully from the 20th floor. Halfway down, she realized she’d forgotten to put on shoes.

  "Eh, whatever"

  With a mid-air twist, she nded effortlessly, feline-like, with barely a whisper of sound as her feet touched the ground. Smiling, she began walking down the street, her movements casual and carefree.

  As Ye Lan strolled along the avenue, she couldn’t help but attract attention. Even with her animal traits hidden, her striking beauty turned heads. Everyone who passed her stopped to stare, leaving her with an impressive 100% attention rate.

  "What are you looking at?! Have you fallen for that girl or something?!" "Are you joking, honey?! That girl looks barely ten years old. That?s illegal!"1This paragraph originally talked about pedophilia, but I removed it... "Hmph! You know it’s illegal, yet you’re still staring at her?" "Eh… Even if it’s illegal, lolis do have their charm~" "Do you want me to beat you up?" "Ah! Honey, I was wrong! I really was wrong!"

  "……" Simir conversations echoed around her as Ye Lan walked along the street. Hearing them, she couldn’t suppress a soft chuckle.If just a single trait of an 'adorable child' does this to them, what would happen if I showed my animal ears? Wouldn’t they faint from a nosebleed?

  Continuing her stroll with a calm demeanor, Ye Lan suddenly stumbled upon a scene that could only happen in American territory.

  This scene had three protagonists: a white man, a bck man, and an Asian man...
