Chapter 258: A Name of Iron
What Song Tiantian didn’t expect was that the fierce beasts were indeed attracted, but their strength was very ordinary.
The System also tried its best to summon several nine-star fierce beasts, but the nine-star fierce beasts that reigned supreme on Blue Star were like small fry here.
A few guards would be enough to deal with them easily.
Song Tiantian didn’t even see the flying bird pet beasts make a move.
They simply drew their swords, and with a flash of light, they easily dealt with these fierce beasts.
They even carefully collected the fierce beast corpses.
They didn’t carelessly leave them on the ground.
Song Tiantian sighed silently in her heart, her first attempt had failed.
She definitely couldn’t be so indecisive next time.
She had to be decisive next time; if she had been more decisive, she would have left long ago and wouldn’t have to endure this hardship here.
【What a fragrant smell, this smell seems to be right among us.】
Song Tiantian heard the voices of the guard pet beasts and quickly told the System to conceal their aura. If the attack failed, they could only lie low.
The leading guard cast a very intimidating glance in their direction. Song Tiantian, imitating the appearance of the two young girls beside her, looked back with an innocent expression.
He rode his horse around the horse carriage, but found nothing.
At this moment, Song Tiantian understood the gap in combat power between them and herself.
She didn’t dare to make another move.
That strike just now seemed to possess legendary sword energy, a single strike imbued with a mental attack. Dr. Bai’s sword given to Song Tiantian was precisely like this.
Only power containing a soul attack could kill a nine-star fierce beast in one blow; otherwise, it would be impossible to deal with them.
Song Tiantian also had her own plan; she subtly smeared a foul-smelling odor on herself.
After all, the young girls here rarely bathed, and most of them had lice. Moreover, without bathing daily, how could they possibly smell like orchids?
Regarding her appearance, Song Tiantian had no intention of tampering with it.
A smell that is too obvious is also not good, so she could only resort to this method.
This was also a form of self-protection.
Song Tiantian felt that if she were assigned to do manual labor or serve as a guard, she could actually accept it.
As a concubine, she feared she would have a physiological aversion.
However, here, beautiful women should not be a scarce resource for the upper class. A woman with flaws, especially with this foul smell and an ordinary appearance, Song Tiantian didn’t believe anyone could tolerate it.
Song Tiantian’s skin had now become tanned, and there were also many spots on her face.
When everyone else had fair skin and had washed their faces, she would be able to create a difference.
She still had a few months of safety to get through, and then she would think of a way.
Besides, she had a cheat.
She could also hear the inner voices of the fierce beasts here; humans lie, but animals don’t.
Previously, in Yanlong Village, those people didn’t have pet beasts, so Song Tiantian’s abilities hadn’t been put to use.
The Li Family was not far from Yanlong Village.
The place where the Li Family resided was called White Jade City. Song Tiantian couldn’t understand the three characters on the city gate at all.
The reason she knew it was White Jade City was because the pet beasts said they had finally returned to White Jade City.
Song Tiantian could only ask the System to scan and record these three characters.
No matter where you are, being illiterate is not a good thing.
It would be fine to learn three characters first.
Upon arriving at the Li Family, Song Tiantian thought she would learn two more characters, as the plaque above should be Li Mansion.
However, Song Tiantian took a look, and there were three characters on it.
This didn’t make sense.
Relying on the pet beasts, they only knew White Jade City, and they didn’t seem to recognize many characters.
This was truly a rip-off!
The System, a native pet beast from a local Temple, was also illiterate and couldn’t understand the local language either.
Song Tiantian had previously thought that perhaps the System had some local genes. During the half-month the System spent in Yanlong Village, although it hadn’t learned to speak the local language, it could understand what people were saying.
Then, after diligent study, or perhaps by awakening memories of the Beast Realm, the System learned it.
However, Song Tiantian later learned that the System learned it by devouring the soul of a dying villager.
The System originally didn’t intend to tell Song Tiantian because Song Tiantian had forbidden it from harming the people of Yanlong Village. Now that the people of Yanlong Village had sold Song Tiantian out, it was naturally difficult to keep this a secret any longer.
The System needed to devour another person’s soul before it could impart the ability to communicate in the local language to Song Tiantian.
Moreover, the System couldn’t speak it itself.
The System wasn’t as intelligent as imagined.
It relied on cheats too.
Song Tiantian also found it strange; how could one learn without a teacher?
If she had known that the people of Yanlong Village were going to sell her out, she would have had the System devour another person.
Song Tiantian’s consciousness sank into the Pet Beast Space.
Big White was still healing its injuries.
It didn’t even have the energy to eat bamboo; the System had drained too much Spiritual Power from Big White’s body.
Big White was willing; if it weren’t willing, the System wouldn’t have been able to extract the Spiritual Power from its body.
Although Big White’s Talent wasn’t as good as the Hell Ghost Vine, and its abilities might not be as practical as the System’s,
among these three pet beasts, Big White was the most loyal to Song Tiantian.
Big White was willing to die to protect Song Tiantian.
Fortunately, Big White didn’t die, otherwise, Song Tiantian would have felt very guilty.
Actually, the System had no appearance among these three pet beasts, but the System wanted to become a cat.
The Hell Ghost Vine was a vine; the most beautiful here was Big White, Big White had the best appearance.
It possessed black and white colors.
It was truly beautiful.
Every time Song Tiantian saw Big White, she would think of the national treasure panda from the depths of her heart; it really looked like one.
The Hell Ghost Vine had now grown a new tender green vine.
The price for this was that half of the fertilizer Song Tiantian had stored in her space was gone.
Because there was a lot of fertilizer before, Song Tiantian had given some to Mother Song and left some in Qingshan City.
Song Tiantian felt that the Beast Realm lacked many things, but it definitely wouldn’t lack fierce beasts, so she could make new fertilizer for the Hell Ghost Vine later.
After all, Beast Food and fertilizer would expire if kept for too long.
However, the bamboo in the Pet Beast Space now provided very little improvement for Big White; Big White had to spend a lot of time eating bamboo every day.
In the Beast Realm, if higher-level bamboo could be found, it would be of great benefit to Big White.
Unfortunately, this place was desolate.
Let alone finding ingredients that could help Big White advance, they couldn’t even find ingredients for the Hell Ghost Vine to advance.
After Song Tiantian and her group entered the Li Mansion, they were bestowed new names.
This was because her previous names, such as “mute girl” and Da Ya and Er Ya from Yanlong Village, were not very pleasant.
Song Tiantian was bestowed the name Zhe Yue, while Da Ya and Er Ya were renamed Ji Yue and Chun Yue.
In any case, all the names contained “Yue.”
【These three names are finally being used again; it’s like flowing water for maids, but ironclad names.】
