358: Chapter 34 Physiological Liking: Is It the Scent of Hormones?
The two voices sounded at the same time.
The little system's silence meant that something was fishy.
Yun Tiankai hurriedly typed over a dozen keywords into the search bar above, such as: block thoughts, block system, system, hide thoughts, and so on.
Before long, she found the "Thought Blocking Card." And it only cost 180,000 points!
You must know, Yun Tiankai was now a big spender with five million points.
When the little system saw that she had actually found it, it immediately panicked. "It's useless even if you buy it! It will only last for a month; you'll just be wasting points!"
Accessing a host's thoughts was not a permission that the system always enabled. Under normal circumstances, this system permission was only unlocked when the host was near death and could no longer communicate through language within the system.
The little system's permission had been unlocked when the previous host was on the verge of death. But Yun Tiankai had come back to life. It then used this permission to monitor all of Yun Tiankai's thought processes in order to better grasp her motives.
Yun Tiankai clicked to purchase the "Thought Blocking Card." After buying it, she discovered that it was actually just an instruction manual. It taught her how to manually turn off the little system's "Mind Reading" function.
In other words, turning off the "Mind Reading" function was an ability Yun Tiankai already possessed. There was no need to spend money to buy it, and there was certainly no time limit!
That trashy little system actually tried to scam her!
Yun Tiankai followed the manual to find the location and, with a few clicks, successfully operated it.
little system: ...
Yun Tiankai: ...
Yun Tiankai: It felt like spending a lot of money on an online shopping site to buy a learning video, only for the other party to send a single line of big text — "You can watch it for free at such-and-such place." And this "such-and-such place" was something you could find just by searching on a search engine.
Forget it. Although the money was spent in vain, the problem was solved.
Yun Tiankai thought happily: little system eats farts, little system is a big idiot, little system is three hundred pounds fat, little system can't get a promotion for the next hundred years!
little system: "Are you thinking bad things about me?"
Yun Tiankai: "You heard that?"
She was just about to read the manual again when she heard the little system say: "Hmph! I guessed it."
Yun Tiankai used more points to exchange for some fruits, vegetables, and meat, as well as some nice bowls and plates. She planned to have a candlelight dinner with Tang Longyan tomorrow.
She didn't dare to buy vegetables and fruits that were too rare, fearing that Tang Longyan would suspect her identity. She felt it was more appropriate to wait until they had officially formed a union before slowly telling him about her identity.
After all, this was a world that believed in gods. If she told him about the modern world directly, he might be afraid or not believe her.
The little system watched as Yun Tiankai filled all ten of her storage slots. It snorted coldly and said, "Are you really planning to choose the 'Son of the Devil' as your Beast Husband?"
Yun Tiankai: "Do you have an opinion?"
The little system was just about to say that it certainly had an opinion! Following such a dangerous person made it too easy for her to die!
Furthermore, according to the rules of this world, Beastmen with vastly different Energy levels could not produce Cubs. For the Male Beastmen of the Beast World, reproducing and having Cubs was the meaning of their lives.
If the "Son of the Devil" couldn't produce Cubs with Yun Tiankai, even if Yun Tiankai didn't die from childbirth, he might still get rid of her and find another Mistress to bear his Cubs. His status was special, and he wasn't afraid of the Beast God's punishment at all.
However, just as the little system had organized its words, it heard Yun Tiankai say: "If you have an opinion, keep it to yourself!"
little system: ... "You really don't know what's good for you!"
Because she had spent too much time in the system, Yun Tiankai woke up late the next day. Everyone had already started working on their respective tasks. The wall needed to continue being built, and the stone kitchen was only half-finished.
She also wanted to go check out the plot of land behind the Tribe and plant the fruits and vegetables she had exchanged for yesterday. If she directly exchanged points for food, and did it too much, the Beastmen might suspect her identity.
But growing them herself was different. Once grown, they would be inexhaustible and endless.
Yun Tiankai scratched her messy hair and rubbed the sleep from her eyes as she walked out of the cave.
She almost bumped right into someone. She looked up and saw Tang Longyan looking down at her, staring with some surprise.
Yun Tiankai: ...
Yun Tiankai took a big step back abruptly: He, he, he, he—why was he here? Didn't he usually keep his distance from the Female Beastmen?
Tang Longyan stared at a stray hair on top of her head and couldn't help but laugh.
Tang Longyan: The way Nickname looks right after waking up is so cute!
Yun Tiankai: The second day after confirming their romantic relationship, he had already seen her slovenly side! What should she do?
"Do... do you need me for something?" Yun Tiankai asked.
Tang Longyan nodded slightly.
She immediately said, "Wait for me here." Then, she instantly transformed into her Beast Form. A nimble white fox vanished in front of Tang Longyan in a flash.
Tang Longyan: ...
Yun Tiankai used all her might to run to the place where the Female Beastmen washed up. When she returned, she had transformed back into a beautiful Female Beastman with smooth hair and a clean, fair face.
Due to her profession, Yun Tiankai cared a lot about her appearance. Even in the Beast World, a place that wasn't very particular, the first thing she did after getting points was to exchange for a full set of toiletries.
Therefore, among all the Female Beastmen, Yun Tiankai was always the fairest and most fragrant.
Seeing Yun Tiankai reappear in front of him, Tang Longyan couldn't help but take a deep breath.
His Nickname—oh! No! His good friend Nickname smelled so good!
Yun Tiankai also took a deep breath. The other Male Beastmen were all smelly, but Tang Longyan had a very high-class scent on him.
Could this be the legendary physiological attraction, the scent of hormones?
"What do you need me for?" Yun Tiankai asked, casually brushing a lock of long hair behind her ear. She found an angle she considered the most flattering and faced Tang Longyan.
Little did she know, he could actually only see the top of her head.
"Many Male Beastmen have come, all wanting to come to the Tribe to help. I suspect they saw me give crystals to She Lin and Bao Hen and came for the crystals, not because they truly want to help the Female Beastmen. I want to hear your opinion."
Yun Tiankai's eyes lit up; so that was it. This was exactly one part of her plan. After Yun Tiankai discussed a few things with Tang Longyan, she went to the outside of the Tribe where the Male Beastmen were gathered.
"Nickname, quickly ask Lord Longyan to drive these Male Beastmen away! We don't need their help!" Bao Yang held a stick and stood at the very front. Besides She Lin and Bao Hen by her side, more than a dozen other Female Beastmen holding weapons followed behind Bao Yang.
Ya Jianjian even transformed directly into her Beast Form—a giant gray-brown wolf, baring her teeth and letting out a low growl at the Male Beastmen.
"We came for the crystals, not for you. You little Female Beastman, aren't you being a bit too nervous?"
Yun Tiankai scanned the Beastman who had spoken. Bao Yang lifted her stick and was about to charge forward. Yun Tiankai reached out and held her back.
"Nickname, you don't know, he was one of the Male Beastmen who bullied me back then," Bao Yang said in a low voice.
Bao Hen heard it with his sharp ears. A gust of wind suddenly rose, instantly sweeping the Beastman up and throwing him away.
Yun Tiankai: ...
Bao Yang turned back, saw Bao Hen's tense forehead, and couldn't help but feel a warm current flow through her heart.
Seeing that Bao Hen had actually taken action, the Male Beastmen became anxious.
"Then why are they allowed to help? Why do they get to take all the crystals?" As they said this, they were about to rush over and drag She Lin and Bao Hen out.
Yun Tiankai: She had to intimidate these Beastmen first. Thinking this, she glanced at Tang Longyan.
A dozen seconds later.
"Because the Female Beastmen agreed to it!" A loud voice, seemingly coming from the heavens. Everyone looked toward the sound. They saw Yun Tiankai standing on the two-meter-high stone wall, holding a bucket-like object in her hand.
