System: "Yes. Are you sure you want to exchange for it?"
Bai Su nodded. "Exchange for one. It’s not for me, though. It’s for Lu Tingyan."
She wasn’t the one commanding battles on the front lines, nor was she the one drilling and training soldiers every day.
If they wanted to recruit the beasts, giving the Skill to Lu Tingyan was the most logical choice.
System: "Understood. But how will you explain this to him?"
"You can’t reveal the system’s existence. Any mention of the system will be censored if spoken aloud."
Bai Su: "Don’t worry."
She came up with a simple excuse, saying it was a gift from the Beast God—an ability to understand the language of beasts.
She gave this ability to Lu Tingyan.
Lu Tingyan accepted it readily, looking at Bai Su with deep emotion. "Susu, why didn’t you keep this Skill for yourself? It could help you communicate with beasts and protect yourself in a critical moment."
Bai Su smiled. "It’s fine. I have you all to protect me. You need this Beast Language Skill more than I do."
She had plenty of life-saving items from the system.
While they couldn’t guarantee she’d never get hurt, they did guarantee she would always survive.
After the meeting, the group split up and began the work of rebuilding the Imperial City.
After receiving the Beast Language Skill, Lu Tingyan quickly began communicating with the other beasts, inviting all the wild animals to join their army.
If every soldier could be paired with a giant eagle, their aerial combat capabilities would be massively enhanced.
Even in ground combat, it would vastly improve their fighting strength.
「Qin City.」
The soldiers’ training had grown considerably lax, even lethargic.
When Lu Jian Country arrived at the training grounds, he saw listless soldiers; several at the firing range couldn’t even hit the seventh or eighth ring of the target.
’How are they supposed to fight on a battlefield like this?’
His face dark, he stood on the platform, took a deep breath, and bellowed, "What do you think you’re doing? Didn’t you eat this morning?"
Startled, the soldiers immediately snapped to attention.
Lu Jian Country’s sharp gaze swept over them all with authority. "Don’t you think for a second that just because you survived one beast tide, you can let your guard down!"
"What about the second wave? And the third?"
"Good evening, Miss Qin!"
"Have you eaten, Miss Qin?"
Standing nearby, the expression on Lu Jian Country’s face grew even uglier.
But Qin Nuo couldn’t keep the smile off her face.
This was the first time she’d had so many males defer to her without using her superpower, and it was, without a doubt, a novel experience.
Even after the soldiers had all dispersed, the dark look on Lu Jian Country’s face hadn’t faded.
Qin Nuo, in high spirits, patted him on the shoulder with a wide grin. "These young soldiers are just hot-blooded. They respect strength above all else."
"You don’t have to be so hard on them."
Lu Jian Country felt a deep-seated discomfort. Though he had sought refuge in Qin City, it didn’t mean he could accept a female ordering him around.
’These females... they have little combat prowess, have been pampered and spoiled since birth, and know nothing about the real world.’
’Especially this one. She wins a single battle and immediately gets smug and complacent.’
’Whatever favorable impression he’d had of her vanished completely within these few short minutes.’
