I was a stepmother in ancient times, and I led my whole family to wealth.

Chapter 239 Can Speak Beast Language!

Ruyi closed her eyes and searched in the space. After a while, she withdrew her divine sense. [It doesn't seem right. Their lair is not here. It seems that they came here to look for something.]

But after searching for a long time, I found nothing but a few medicinal herbs.

Dongfang Jin asked with some doubt, "Are you sure your divine sense can handle this?"

These two fought here for a long time, but there was no roar of a tiger or howl of a black bear. All that could be heard were the sounds of their hand-to-hand combat, which was rather strange.

Ruyi was somewhat dissatisfied. "I can see much more clearly now than before. I can even see the colors of everything outside, unlike before when I could only see black, white, gold, and purplish-red."

Hearing this, Dongfang Jin became even more curious. "So, the covenant we made with the Emperor didn't make you grow taller; instead, it upgraded your divine consciousness?"

Yeah, so I'm not sad anymore!

"When will I be able to have such supernatural powers?" Dongfang Jin stood on the tree branch, her face full of envy and longing.

You'll get it once you've mastered the Thousand Hands Everlasting Spring Technique to the ninth level.

Dongfang Jin scoffed after hearing this, "Tch, you're just pointing me to the ends of the earth now. Reaching the ninth level? Forget it."

Since she started practicing the "Thousand Hands Everlasting Spring Technique," she has only reached the third level of the first stage today.

The first half of this book, "The Thousand Hands Everlasting Spring Manual," has nine levels, and each level also has nine sub-levels.

Each level is extremely difficult to advance; there are 81 levels in total, and she's only level 3. That's too far ahead, so she shouldn't even think about it.

She's in this area, just wandering around, it's fine.

As one wishes……

This wretched master is truly content.

What a blunder...

So far, it hasn't been able to entice her to cultivate with anything, which is disheartening.

The day before yesterday, Gu Jingye was kidnapped. She had just said she would cultivate diligently, and she acted as if it were the real thing. She was so happy, but after going to the palace and coming back, she was devastated.

She said it's good that it's been upgraded; she has enough for her.

You say it just wants to grow taller, why is it so difficult?

If these two continue fighting, they will likely both suffer heavy losses.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jin asked, "You sent me here to pick up bargains, didn't you? But now you're saying this, it seems like there's something else going on."

"I'm only keeping them because they seem to have some intelligence. Why don't you take them in?"

Dongfang Jin watched the two still fighting below. She had to admit, the fighting was rather human-like. [Why did I bring them in? To guard my yard? Give me a break! These are man-eating creatures; don't let them kill anyone.]

As soon as Dongfang Jin and Ruyi finished their telepathic exchange, the tiger and the bear collapsed to the ground.

The black bear's massive body is covered with thick, smooth black fur, each strand seemingly telling a secret from the depths of the forest.

Its round and broad foot, like a huge fleshy pad, is now limp and hanging down, looking like it's broken.

With a large head and a slightly raised forehead, it lay on the ground, its eyes meeting those of Dongfang Jin. Its deep black eyes gleamed with wisdom and curiosity in the sunlight.

The tip of his nose was moist, twitching occasionally, as if trying to catch every subtle breath in the air.

Sharp and powerful fangs were visible on both sides of his mouth, and even lying silently on the ground, he exuded a sense of power that could not be underestimated.

Looking at that white tiger, it resembled a tyrant strolling atop a snow-capped mountain, its massive body standing out starkly against the lush forest.

Its silvery-white fur shimmered in the sunlight. Although it now had several wounds, the blood droplets slid down the wounds and never lingered on its fur, nor did the injuries diminish its luster.

In this situation, his eyes shone with an undeniable kingly light, exuding an overwhelming aura that seemed to terrify all things.

As expected of the King of the Forest, so majestic!

It also saw Dongfang Jin in the tree, but its eyes held no curiosity, only supplication.

pray?

Is this asking her to save it?

[Are the Ruyi (my scepters) calling for my help?]

"Yes, they seem to be coming for you," Ruyi said with certainty.

Dongfang Jin was confused. Was this targeting her? She asked疑惑地, "Why...why are you looking for me?"

Why don't you go down and ask?

Dongfang Jin exploded, "What the hell? Little Ruyi, I don't understand animal language, what do I know?"

You forgot I've leveled up.

[What does your upgrade have to do with me? With their massive size, even if they're weak now, I wouldn't be enough to fill their teeth.]

Ruyi observed everything outside from within the spatial dimension, a cunning glint in her brown eyes. She said meaningfully, "We have a soul contract, and we've just formed one with the emperor who rules this continent and possesses great fortune. Whatever abilities I have now, you can have too, if I so choose."

"You can speak animal language?" Dongfang Jin asked in surprise.

[Jin-jie, my true form is that of a Chaos Beast. In my prime, I could speak the languages ​​of all living beings on Earth.]

Hey!

Chaos Beast?

It's quite fantastical.

So you don't even know your own gender?

Ruyi was unhappy. This was a fatal flaw; what could it do? [Master! Was it something I could choose? I am a woman now! A woman! Just like you!]

So, if you break your contract with me and then contract with another man, you'll become a man?

As one wishes……

This is... still mentioning it, damn it.

It says we can't expose too much; this damn constraint, when will it end?

Seeing that Ruyi remained silent, Dongfang Jin hesitated whether to go downstairs when she felt a chill between her brows.

A few breaths later, she heard a rough male voice enter her ears: "Old Bai, is this the human that old bald monk was talking about?"

"I don't know. Didn't you come here because you smelled a spiritual aura, just like me?" The voice was somewhat weak, but gentle, like that of a refined young gentleman.

The gruff voice said again, "If not, then our agreement to guard the century-old medicinal garden has been for nothing, since we can't even eat it, humph!"

"Sigh, who's to blame? We were too young back then, greedy, and fooled by those humans. Otherwise, we wouldn't be stuck there, having lost our freedom."

……

Listening to the two talking back and forth, Dongfang Jin realized who was on whom.

The black bear looked in her direction and shouted, "Hey little girl in the tree, get down here! Do you have any of that magical water that bald monk was talking about?"

Dongfang Jin: "..." What's going on?

A little girl in the tree?

Call her?

Baihu said with some disdain, "Idiot, she won't understand you calling her that. Do you think she's some old monk?"

Dongfang Jin...

Old monk?

Who?

[Ruyi, does it mean the old monk understands animal language?]

I don't know, but the world is a vast and wondrous place; it's not unusual for someone to speak animal language.

The black bear complained, "What are we going to do? Are we just going to lie here like this? What if she comes down and stabs us both?"

White Tiger: "Shut up, you idiot. She doesn't have any murderous aura or malevolent energy. She won't kill us."

"Be quiet for a while, get some rest, and see what she wants to do."

Dongfang Jin listened to their highly intelligent speech. She could actually understand animal language! It was amazing!

As one wishes……

Of course! Even a little bit of air leaking through my fingers will benefit you for a lifetime.

However, we can't overlook this one. This contracted client is not easy to deal with. She has no ambition. While others become more determined after setbacks, she is different. Everything is useless to her, and she is also very easily satisfied.

Besides her sole aim of leading her family to wealth, which she had intended for just her own family, the number of family members kept growing.

【Ruyi, since you can speak animal language, why don't you communicate with them?】

Well, what I feared most came to pass; it had barely finished complaining when trouble struck.
