Ferocious beasts are invading, I can hear the voices of all the beasts!

Chapter 257 Sold

"My lord, I have prepared this year's tax tribute."

The village chief spoke to the group with a fawning expression, his gaze lingering on Song Tiantian's face.

Song Tiantian knew that this tax must refer to her.

This despicable village chief is going to sell her.

"My lord, this girl is still a pure yin body and has never been violated. She is the most suitable to serve the women in your household."

The village chief highly recommended Song Tiantian.

“Master, as I said before, these people have ill intentions. They suspected you were some kind of noble lady and inquired in the market to see if any noble mute girls had gone missing.”

The system said to Song Tiantian, somewhat angrily.

The system remembered the location of the market, but it was useless. She was a stranger, and besides, her current state was out of place. She would be recognized at the market.

The currency used here is a type of coin.

It contains a strange power that, while similar to spiritual power, is not spiritual power.

Song Tiantian had never touched it because she didn't have any money. It was the system that saw it and secretly drew it for her.

To be honest, Song Tiantian had originally planned to sneak away, as her injuries had almost healed.

The system can sense the direction of the West Mountain Temple, and then the system can help her steal the cultivation technique.

Although the people here had saved her life, Song Tiantian planned to leave them dozens of bags of rice when she left, so that she could repay them.

But Song Tiantian didn't expect that she would be sold so soon.

Moreover, she had that expert keep an eye on her, so Song Tiantian had no way to escape.

The leader rode on a four-legged beast that resembled a horse but wasn't. He used a whip to pull Song Tiantian in front of him in an instant, before Song Tiantian could even react.

If the other party wanted to kill Song Tiantian, she would already be dead by now.

Song Tiantian stayed in the village for half a month without taking a bath or washing her face, and without applying a face mask. Under the scorching sun, Song Tiantian's fair skin became a little darker.

At least it looks much more down-to-earth.

Song Tiantian wanted to blend into the local customs and culture, at least to avoid looking too different from the locals.

Clearly, this is effective.

This adult didn't realize that Song Tiantian wasn't from this village.

“It is indeed rare to find a woman of such beauty in your area. Alright, this woman is worth a strongman, but we still need two girls.”

"Thank you, sir."

The village chief said with deep gratitude.

It's not easy for a village to produce a strong person. Every time the Li family comes to bring people, the men they choose are the strongest in the village.

But with the strong chosen gone, the village would have little chance of resisting the wild beasts.

The Li family didn't care about their lives at all; they only cared about collecting taxes, since all the land here belonged to the Li family.

Moreover, if the men in the village are not strong enough, the Li family will take more people with them when they come to bring them.

The moment he saw Song Tiantian, he noticed she was still alive and full of energy. He knew then that the Li family must have taken a liking to her.

Song Tiantian is definitely on par with a strong person.

As for those thin girls, as long as they are young and haven't been defiled, that's fine.

For ordinary women, the requirements of the Li family were not that high.

Using Song Tiantian to replace a spot as the strongest warrior is definitely the most cost-effective option.

With a strong person present, the village can obtain more food and cultivate more powerful warriors, and the village will get better and better.

As for what will become of those who go to the Li family mansion, that's not something the village chief can concern himself with. Once they're there, they become servants of the Li family, their lives and deaths entirely in the hands of their masters.

Song Tiantian wasn't unwilling to resist, but her strength was simply insufficient.

The two girls who lived in the same courtyard as Song Tiantian were both going to be sent to the Li family mansion.

They helped Song Tiantian up and dragged her onto the carriage.

There were also quite a few girls on the carriage.

The girl didn't care whether Song Tiantian understood or not, and just kept saying to Song Tiantian, "Dumb girl, I know you can't get used to the insect meat in our Yanlong Village. If we go to the Li Mansion, we can eat good food for at least three months."

I heard them say that once we arrived at the Li residence, they would take care of us for three months. Only when we were well-groomed and clean would they present us to their masters.

"You're so beautiful, you'll definitely be chosen by your master. Once you become a concubine, you'll be practically a mistress."

Both girls looked on with anticipation for the future.

However, Song Tiantian felt that the Li family was probably not so kind.

My master doesn't have that many.

This tax is collected every year, and there are so many villages around here.

How could capitalists possibly be willing to support so many idle people?

There were about ten girls crammed into the carriage.

There are dozens of horse-drawn carriages here.

And aren't there suitable people in the city where the Li family lives?

There's no need to come to their village to look for people. Even if they're good-looking, if they're starved like this, they won't look good anymore.

Moreover, Song Tiantian felt that becoming a concubine might not be a good outcome, as none of these girls were well-fed and they were all malnourished.

Unlike the men, some of them were eating well and it was obvious they weren't hungry.

If becoming a concubine has a good outcome, the villagers will definitely take special care of raising these girls, providing them with good food and drink, and these girls will become much prettier.

It will also look much better.

Song Tiantian is considered a beauty here because compared to a group of skinny little girls, she is quite good-looking.

Song Tiantian secretly lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the guards outside.

Even the weakest of these people has the strength of a nine-star beast tamer.

Moreover, they each had a flying pet perched on their shoulder, clearly indicating that these were professionally trained.

The uniform horse-like beasts and the uniform flying pets create a magnificent and imposing sight.

It's not that there aren't beast tamers here, it's just that the beast tamers aren't in the village.

That makes sense. The villagers themselves are starving, so they wouldn't be able to feed their pets if they were to contract them.

Clearly, the towns and countryside here are two completely different worlds.

Song Tiantian felt that the Li residence was not a good place.

She wanted to find a chance to escape, but she couldn't find one.

There were too many guards accompanying them.

Song Tiantian felt somewhat uneasy.

She decided to create her own opportunity to escape, even if it meant never going into the city again.

If we really went to the Li residence, we'd be like meat on a chopping board, with no way to escape.

Song Tiantian leaned against the carriage, pretending to be resting.

In reality, she had the system simulate a large number of people, intending to have the ferocious beasts in the mountains attack the team.
