Chapter 114 - Do You Want a Job? I
“Wait!”
Feng Ruqing raised her hand to stop the leopard’s movement when it entered Feng Ruqing’s sight.
All spirit beasts had gained their wisdom when they became spirit beasts. So, the leopard was stunned and stopped moving subconsciously when it saw Feng Ruqing’s action. It looked at Feng Ruqing suspiciously.
‘What is this human trying to say before her death?’
“Little leopard,” Feng Ruqing smiled and said in a slow and seductive voice, “do you want a job?”
‘Job? What is that?’
The leopard was stunned for a while. It roared and raised its paw at Feng Ruqing.
A roar was heard.
The snow wolf, which was hiding beside Feng Ruqing, came to stand in front of her quickly just before the paw of the leopard could hit her. The snow wolf roared and pounced onto the leopard.
Initially, Feng Ruqing was scared that the force of a Tier-3 snow wolf would scare the spirit beasts away. So, Feng Ruqing asked the snow wolf to hide its force and presence. Now that the leopard saw a Tier-3 spirit beast who was standing beside the human, it was frightened, and shook in fear.
Boom!
The leopard fell down because it could not endure the snow wolf’s weight. The leopard shook its dizzy head and looked up with vacant eyes.
A smiling face entered the leopard’s line of sight. Feng Ruqing used a sweet voice to persuade the leopard. “Do you want a job?”
This time, the leopard did not act on its impulse anymore. It sat down on the floor without moving. It peered at the snow wolf in fear from time to time.
“You don’t have to look at the snow wolf. Just look at me.” Feng Ruqing raised her hand and opened the roll of paper in front of the leopard. “Do you understand?”
The leopard still wore a blank face. ‘What is that?’ The leopard did not understand.
Feng Ruqing turned and looked at the snow wolf when she found that the leopard was in confusion. “Are spirit beasts illiterate?”
The snow wolf nodded its head sincerely.
Feng Ruqing’s face darkened. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? You’re wasting my time.”
“…”
The snow wolf seemed innocent.
‘But, you did not ask me. How am I supposed to know what you wrote just now?’
Feng Ruqing was not bothered by the snow wolf. She turned and looked at the leopard. “Then, I’ll just make it short. I want you to work for me. I’ll order somebody to tell you what you need to do. As a reward, I’ll feed you a piece of Divine-Spirit Fruit every day.”
Feng Ruqing held out her hand, and there was a piece of Divine-Spirit Fruit in her hand.
The leopard looked at the Divine-Spirit Fruit in Feng Ruqing’s hand eagerly. Its saliva was threatening to fall down. It quickly used its paw to rub at its mouth. It did not accept the fruit immediately, but it fell into deep thought.
“Do you still need time to consider? Why do you need to consider it given that this is such a good thing? The Divine-Spirit Fruit is only just a part of it. I’ll feed you more spirit herbs in the future. If I’m in a good mood, I’ll even feed you spirit herbs dishes.”
The fragrance of the Divine-Spirit Fruit was just too good to be resisted even for a leopard. The leopard could not resist it, and lastly, it accepted it with difficulty.
“You’re so good.” Feng Ruqing patted the leopard’s head. “Little leopard, you’re one of us from now on. Work for me, diligently, and I won’t mistreat you.”
These innocent spirit beasts were just too easy to be fooled. On the other hand, Feng Ruqing had used quite some time when she wanted to fool the snow wolf before this.
It would be more difficult if she wanted to fool the state preceptor’s snake.
“Two of you go and stand at the side. Remember to hide your force and presence. Don’t scare away other spirit beasts. Little Wolfie, go and teach the leopard how to do it.”
