What kind of weird feeling is this?
Irene has lived for so long but has never experienced this feeling before.
When the man rubbed her tail with his gloves, she subconsciously started to purr.
By the time she realized that this was not supposed to be normal, Lin Ye had already let go of her tail and stepped aside. He scratched his head in awkwardness.
When Irene noticed that he stopped, she felt a little disappointed. But Lin Ye on the other hand was very surprised at the outcome.
He had no idea that the gloves would be this effective against her.
He had just grabbed Irene's tail and felt her body stiffen up. Her face then became flustered which made him feel like he was a hooligan molesting a woman. So, he stayed his hand and stepped back, then immediately removed the glove. He looked around twice with a guilty conscience and found that no one had seen him doing that, which was a relief.
Irene began to calm down. In fact, she didn't understand what happened either. It was clear to her that her tail was not her sensitive part. Why did she have this reaction when he touched her? Could it be the gloves? Well, that was the only possibility. What does this man in front of her do exactly, and how does he possess such a thing?
Lin Ye looked at Irene, and Irene was also looking at him, the two of them had their own thoughts.
Amongst them, Lin Ye is thinking about how to get this Feline girl to buy all of his pet supplies.
"Ahem, this glove is used like that." In the end, Lin Ye broke the deadlock and spoke, "Would you like to buy a pair? You can get some hair conditioner too as an added bonus."
"Hair conditioner. What is that?" Lin Ye takes out the conditioner from his backpack again and explains its effects to Irene.
Irene goes silent, but in her mind, she is going crazy. Why does he have this kind of thing?! Is it possible that he really is a souvenir merchant?! Does Master Galvin really want to abandon me?! He even sent me to deal with a souvenir merchant!
This made Irene feel grief, but apart from the grief, she felt that the massage gloves are still very useful, and the conditioner sounded good too. She happened to be shedding for 3 months already and didn't know what to do.
Huh? Did I really think about buying things from him?! No, no, I definitely don't want to buy them. As long as I buy his goods, I would be able to get close to him. After I get close to him, I can acquire the information I need, right?
Irene, following that train of thought, asks him,
"How much does it cost?"
Lin Ye's eyes instantly brightened. He doubled the price.
He originally thought that Irene would bargain with him a bit, but he didn't expect Irene to go all in without question.
As expected, those of the Feline race are all rich cats...
Irene paid the money then took the gloves and hair conditioner from Lin Ye
I can finally get to the point, right?She rationalized her thoughts and was about to speak, but Lin Ye interrupted her.
"Oh! Before that." Lin Ye unwraps his scarf and wraps it tightly around her neck.
"Wha-"
"Here, it must be cold for you with how little you're wearing. A girl shouldn't force herself to look pretty. You are beautiful just by being you. Don't worry about the scarf. It doesn't even cost that much." he smiles gently at her.
He feels like it was the least he can do for her for buying his products. And his mother in his past life had already drilled into his head countless times on how one should always act like a gentleman.
Irene is stunned and didn't know how to process what had just happened to her. His scent was all over the scarf and it already made her feel dizzy by just taking a whiff of it. She subconsciously buried her face into it, a feeling of warmth gradually spread across her face.
So warm...
Her trance is quickly broken when Lin Ye snapped her back to reality.
"And because I'm feeling generous today, I will introduce you to one more item." Lin Ye revealed a mysterious expression, like a black market dealer trying to strike a sale with a client.
Irene looks at him
Does he still want to sell something else?! Is this a mistake? I came to get information, not to buy your things, can you be a little cooperative with me? No! Even if you sell flowers! Even if you touch my tail! E-Even if you are being dangerously c-charming! I will never buy your things again!Irene thought angrily.
Then she sees Lin Ye take out a small bottle. It was filled with withered grass.
"This is called catnip." Lin Ye says with a smile.

Five minutes later, Pramanix and Cliffheart found Lin Ye and Sussurro exiting out of the shop with a few souvenirs in hand.
The two Silverash sisters saw Lin Ye waving goodbye to a woman with a black scarf wrapped around her neck.
"Miss, if you find them good to use, please provide me with feedback! And please promote my business if you can! I'm staying here for a few days, so you can talk to me anytime"
The woman waves back in response, but she looks very tired.
"Got a new friend already?" Cliffheart asked Lin Ye curiously.
"No, that's my customer." Lin Ye is in a good mood.
"Customer?" Pramanix looks at him strangely, "Aren't you a doctor? When did you start a part-time job as a businessman?"
"Oh, it's just a hobby." Lin Ye started to count the money he got.
"Have you finished shopping? If you are then let's head back so we can have dinner."
Sussurro looks up at Lin Ye. She wanted to say something to him, but she didn't know how to put it into words.
She happened to come across Lin Ye's demonstration of the gloves to Irene. But, from her angle and height, she could not see Lin Ye scratching Irene's tail, she could only see Lin Ye standing behind Irene, bending over while Irene showed an extremely... unique expression.
Dr. Lin. Such a dangerous person, I must warn Miss Liz to stay away from him when we get back.Sussurro thought in her heart.
Then she remembered how Lin Ye gave his scarf to Irene.
He's dangerous in more ways than one.

"What? You said that those who came back with the Saintess...were souvenir merchants?" Galvin glares at Irene, "Are you lying to me?"
"I dare not lie." Irene lowered her head.
In front of Galvin, she didn't dare to show the products. They are the kind that can be seen everywhere in the outside world. Most of them have labels and prices.
Galvin finds it hard to believe "It doesn't make sense. I heard that Rhodes Island is a pharmaceutical company. How can they sell such a thing? Did you fail me again?"
"No! No! " Irene shakes her head again and again, "The man is obviously real. When he touched it felt real. He touched-"
Irene originally wanted to talk about how Lin Ye touched her tail, but she felt that her tail was not good enough proof for it.
"Is that so?" Galvin didn't feel that Irene was lying to him.
He thought for a while and came to the conclusion that the doctors there still needed to sell those things to make ends meet.
In that case, there is nothing to be afraid of, he just needs to do his best in dealing with Enciodas.
He laughed then stood up and stretched out his arms as if he wanted to embrace the world.
"Enciodas are you going to do? Kjerag is mine and your Karlan trade will soon be mine too." He murmured excitedly.
