Beastman's Proof

Why does it feel like it had no effect at all?

She wondered, while the two beastmen exchanged a silent glance.

It wasn't that humans had never visited their town before, but this one...

This one was far too unique.

Logically speaking, it should have been fine once the documentation was checked.

But just a moment ago, neither he nor Xiong Gu had the courage to take the ID to examine it.

The wolf-headed beastman thought to himself silently. Xiong Gu was truly too reckless to have reached out and blocked her like that. He had been terrified that this human would suddenly lash out and harm them.

The silent Xiong Gu was also reflecting on his actions.

He felt his hand was still trembling. Those movements just now were purely muscle memory; his brain hadn't even reacted before his hand had already shot out.

Pulling it back now would have been both deliberate and awkward.

Xiong Gu had frozen up completely at that moment, having no idea what he should do.

Fortunately, this human didn't seem to have a strong desire to kill and was willing to follow the rules.

Xiong Gu had heard some ancient rumors about humans.

It was said that every human child could bite a beastman's head off. This was what his mother had told him personally when he was a child, crying and fussing to go out and play.

Xiong Gu couldn't help but shiver again. He really had been too rash; luckily, Lang An had used his silver tongue to stabilize the human.

But... issuing a certificate?

Wouldn't that require the chief to step in? Would the chief really be willing to issue a certificate for this human? If the chief wasn't willing...

Xiong Gu pushed open the glass door of the police station with trepidation, signaling for Lang An to accompany the human inside first.

Lang An glanced at his partner. How could he not know that Xiong Gu was trying to dump this massive trouble on him alone!

Instead of following closely behind Cheng Shuili, Lang An gripped Xiong Gu's hand tightly.

Cheng Shuili looked back and saw this harmonious scene of brotherly affection. So this was how beastmen got along?

But at this moment, she didn't have the leisure to watch the two of them 'bonding'.

"Um... where do I go to get the documentation?"

Cheng Shuili asked just to make conversation; she wasn't in any rush, but under the influence of 【Majesty】, this sentence successfully startled the two beastmen.

Lang An yielded to his instincts, showing sufficient respect. "Please wait a moment. Xiong Gu and I will call the chief immediately."

He glanced at Xiong Gu with a nervous expression, and Xiong Gu, who had been dark-faced, suddenly became nervous as well.

The two beastmen looked at each other again and, shockingly, left Cheng Shuili standing there while they nervously went into the office together to find the chief.

Cheng Shuili: "???"

Did such a trivial matter as issuing a certificate really require the chief of a police station to come out in person?

The efficiency of this police station must be quite slow.

Cheng Shuili prepared herself for a long wait. Unexpectedly, the chief arrived very quickly. She was a sheep-headed beastman, clearly a girl, with a small pink flower pinned to her uniform.

She looked quite cute.

She seemed to have scolded both Lang An and Xiong Gu, as both beastmen were standing honestly behind her with their heads bowed, not daring to look at Cheng Shuili.

The chief squinted as she sized Cheng Shuili up. Once she confirmed that this was truly a human, she intended to call for her ID as a matter of routine; if everything was in order, she could just send her on her way.

Cheng Shuili wore a smile on her face. Even though she was prepared, she was getting a bit impatient.

It was like someone who had been walking in the desert for a long time, finally returning to the human world, and just as they were about to have a refreshing drink of mineral water—that feeling of comfort already beginning to echo in their mind—they were told that a missing person had to file a report first.

That was exactly how Cheng Shuili felt right now, and it was hard for her not to urge them.

"Can the certificate be issued now?"

This sentence gave the chief such a start that her body instantly stiffened, and she subconsciously clenched her buttocks. She didn't even know where the words she had prepared had gone, so she nodded stiffly. "Yes, yes, we can issue it for you."

Lang An and Xiong Gu exchanged a look. Humans... terrifying humans...

A single sentence had been enough to make their boss surrender.

The wolf and the bear wanted to slip away, but a single look from the chief pinned them in place. "Lang An, Xiong Gu, why aren't you going to get the unused materials and the seal yet?"

Xiong Gu stood there blankly, his mind a complete void.

It was Lang An who nodded frantically, moving quickly to retrieve the blank paper and the seal.

The chief respectfully invited Cheng Shuili to sit down, her tone a bit uneasy as she asked, "Would one be enough for you? It's a temporary identity certificate. This material will allow you to enter and exit any beastman town."

"Huh?" Cheng Shuili spoke subconsciously.

She was truly baffled. Wasn't this beast the chief? Why was she asking her about the issue of the certificate?

Cheng Shuili swore she was just confused and had absolutely no intention of being dissatisfied, but that sound fell on the ears of the three beastmen like a thunderbolt.

Just who had provoked this ancestor?

The chief cursed Lang An and Xiong Gu over and over in her heart, but when she met Cheng Shuili's eyes—which were devoid of anger but incredibly intimidating—she immediately said, "We can issue up to three for you!"

Cheng Shuili nodded calmly. If she couldn't guess the reason for such a strange reaction, she would be a bit of a fool.

However... the system didn't mention that 【Majesty】 could scare them to this extent, did it?

Cheng Shuili didn't know that the humans they had seen before were all ordinary people without any aura.

Even with an unknown species, they had some inner confidence.

But meeting her today was like encountering a completely unknown creature. The more they imagined, the more they feared.

They had fallen directly into a vicious cycle.

Their psychological defenses were easily shattered.

Not to mention their already dwindling confidence.

The chief hurriedly signed her name on the stamped certificate.

Cheng Shuili took it to look. The chief's name was Yang Jiao, which was quite cute.

The system followed up with a prompt.

【Obtained Beastman's Proof x3】

【Description: A powerful beastman believes you are qualified to be their friend, and therefore welcomes you to visit the beastman town! This is the voucher for entering and exiting the beastman town, consuming one sheet each time you enter!】

Cheng Shuili didn't plan to leave just like that. Instead, she carefully tucked the three certificates away, took out her own store employee ID, and asked Yang Jiao: "I have this ID. Can I enter and exit the town as I please?"

Yang Jiao took the employee ID, examined it carefully, and then nodded. "Of course you can! Respected guest, although I do not know where you obtained this job, it is absolutely a symbol of your status!"

Cheng Shuili nodded, glanced at Lang An and Xiong Gu who remained with their heads bowed and didn't utter a word, and felt relieved after sensing Yang Jiao's hostility toward the two beastmen.

It could be considered a good thing, too.

She could sell those three certificates for a high price.

Since that was the case, she wouldn't haggle with these two beastmen over the wasted time. In any case, this chief definitely wouldn't let them off easily.
