Chapter 280: West Mountain Divine Hall Mark
However, one isn’t limited to contracting just one Pet Beast; contracting an additional one for cover is also normal. Most people contract two, but they only focus on nurturing one, as a person’s energy is limited.
Liu Mu felt that Song Tiantian definitely had another main combat Pet Beast.
He enjoyed tormenting these Otherworlders; he had grown tired of the local bumpkins.
Beast Tamers who could come here were undoubtedly exceptional individuals, the cream of the crop. It would be more interesting to have such a person serve him as a dog.
“Fine, my beloved slave is missing. If you see him, and have any news, I will let you go. If you know nothing, then you will be sent for Alchemy. A piece of trash like you is not worthy of being my slave.”
Liu Mu didn’t worry at all about Song Tiantian resisting. Even if Song Tiantian resisted, with Song Tiantian’s Strength, it would only serve to amuse him.
Song Tiantian wasn’t deliberately making herself look ugly at this moment; she simply wasn’t dressed up beautifully.
In her entire life, this was the first time someone had called her ugly.
However, Song Tiantian’s inner self was very resilient and could withstand blows.
Song Tiantian revealed the Mark left by the System and said to Liu Mu, “I am from the Divine Hall. No matter how noble Young Master’s Identity is, you cannot casually send me for Alchemy. I came out this time to collect Medicine for the adults of the Divine Hall. I have not seen any suspicious individuals along the way.”
Song Tiantian revealed the Mark of the West Mountain Divine Hall before daring to say she hadn’t seen anyone. Otherwise, Song Tiantian feared the other party would have killed her immediately.
Nobles here do not commit a crime by killing.
Especially when killing Otherworlders, it’s basically permissible to kill them wantonly.
After speaking, Song Tiantian, still uneasy, also showed her Commoner’s ID. The first thing she did upon arriving here was to get an ID; without one, she felt insecure.
“Heh heh! You are indeed an Otherworlder. Don’t you know that with the Divine Hall’s Mark, you can obtain a Noble’s Mark? If you hadn’t shown your household registration, I would have thought I was mistaken.”
“Young Master, what are you saying? This humble one doesn’t understand. This humble one was originally from Yanlong Village, and later received guidance from the Divine Hall. I traveled far and wide, crossing mountains and rivers, to finally settle in West Mountain City.”
Song Tiantian’s heart panicked, but she still answered calmly and composedly.
There are some matters where the other party knows you are lying, and you know you are lying, but this matter absolutely cannot be exposed.
The reason this person hadn’t killed her was undoubtedly because he hadn’t confirmed her Identity yet.
The West Mountain Divine Hall was the most esteemed existence in West Mountain.
Even Nobles had to consider it carefully. This Mark was both a restriction and a protection.
However, the person before her clearly didn’t know that the Mark on Song Tiantian’s palm was just for show; it couldn’t restrict Song Tiantian, and naturally, it couldn’t protect her either.
If Song Tiantian were killed, the West Mountain Divine Hall would not record the killer’s image, nor would they avenge Song Tiantian.
This was the first time Song Tiantian had faced a life-threatening situation, where one wrong move could mean her end.
Song Tiantian recalled the appearance of the old Village chief of Yanlong Village and put on a submissive demeanor.
A powerful aura pressed down on Song Tiantian like a great mountain, instantly forcing her to her knees on the Ground.
“Woman, do you think I’m easy to deceive?”
“Lord, this humble one has never seen anyone as distinguished as you, Lord, in Yanlong Village or West Mountain City. I was momentarily overcome with emotion and lost my composure, forgetting the rules!”
Song Tiantian no longer dared to look at that person again. She had also forgotten the rules here.
However, her current Identity was not a Lowly Person, but a Commoner. Looking at a Noble was not a crime. If she were a Lowly Person, it would be a grave offense, and she would deserve to be beaten to death.
Her mindset hadn’t shifted yet.
If only she hadn’t looked at him that one extra time.
Otherwise, none of this would have happened.
Liu Mu withdrew his aura. He could tell that Song Tiantian had a regional accent. He also knew of Yanlong Village; it was Li Family territory.
Song Tiantian knowing this place name might not be a lie.
After all, the passages for Otherworlders were guarded by specialized personnel, so they wouldn’t have had the chance to sneak through. Moreover, even if they learned the language, they wouldn’t have a rural accent.
A girl from the countryside, illiterate and uneducated, would be fortunate to learn to speak.
So it was normal for her to not understand the rules.
Everyone appreciates beauty. How could such a country bumpkin have ever seen his celestial beauty? Even many Noble men and women were infatuated with him, so it was normal for the country bumpkin to lose her composure.
The Divine Hall would recruit some exceptionally talented Attendants. He truly couldn’t see any outstanding qualities in this country bumpkin.
Her demeanor also didn’t resemble an Otherworlder.
Compared to her, his slave Bai Wumeng had an extraordinary aura, like bamboo forests after rain, and those indifferent eyes were truly captivating. He hadn’t expected such a cold and aloof person to be so ruthless and to have so quickly devised a method to block tracking Marks.
Being both Intelligent and good-looking, he preferred people like that.
Since she was from the Divine Hall, he would give the Divine Hall some face.
As for recruiting her, the Divine Hall recruited many Attendants every year and granted many Noble identities, but whether these people could survive was uncertain.
At least he felt that the country bumpkin before him looked dull and had a poor demeanor, not at all like someone with celestial beauty.
After thinking about it, he decided not to waste any more time.
Song Tiantian also hadn’t expected that the Mark of the West Mountain Divine Hall would actually save her life.
But could one truly apply for Noble status with this Mark?
It wouldn’t be some kind of Deceive, would it!
Nobles possessed too many privileges. In Song Tiantian’s view, only Nobles in West Mountain City truly had human rights.
Song Tiantian originally wanted to return to the city immediately, but her hands were empty, and she hadn’t collected any Medicine.
There were indeed many Supplies in her Space, but high-level Supplies were scarce.
The Things in her Space now could be considered some Rags.
There were hardly any Nine-star Spiritual Plants, and no Nine-star Fierce Beast Meat either.
The previous Fierce Beast Meat was Seven-star and Eight-star. The Energy contained within it didn’t help Song Tiantian much; it was barely enough to fill her stomach.
Therefore, Song Tiantian took out all those Meat Cans of Fierce Beast Meat to clear inventory and exchanged them for a considerable amount of money.
What’s expensive here is Tea Leaves.
Unfortunately, Song Tiantian hadn’t found any valuable tea trees.
Even ordinary tea trees were scarce.
However, at the Li Mansion, she had enough to eat and drink for a lifetime.
Song Tiantian could sense that the Li Mansion’s Resources were abundant.
But outside the city, besides Fierce Beasts, there wasn’t much else.
Song Tiantian sometimes wondered where the Nobles’ Resources came from.
This was not something Song Tiantian could figure out. For now, Song Tiantian would first take Big White to hunt Feral beasts.
In the Beast Realm, they liked to call Fierce Beasts Feral beasts.
