There was no benefit in offending this petty man.
Xiao Qing slithered out of Nan Xianâs sleeve and shook his groggy head, looking dazed. âWhere are we now? Are we still in the spirit beast mountain?â
At Xiao Qingâs appearance, the leopard became even more enraged.
âAs expected, none of you are any decent! Bewitching spirit beasts to sell their souls to you, youâre just the same as everyone else!â
Xiao Qing got angry. âWhat do you mean by selling souls? I, Master Xiao Qing, cherish my life. Who can make me sell my soul?â
Feng Lianqing was speechless. So this snake, too, can speak.
âHmph!â The leopard snorted. âSince all of you want to save him so badly, Iâll eat this fatty now and return his bones to you.â
The little fatty panicked, and his pee trailed down along his pants. His body was still in the leopardâs mouth, so he dared not struggle, fearing that he might be cut open by the leopardâs sharp teeth.
âMaster Leopard, please calm down. Donât eat me. I havenât bathed in a few days, so Iâm dirty and smelly. You have to stay calm and donât panic. At least wait until after Iâve bathed before you eat me...â
The leopard was speechless. He wanted to swallow this annoying fatty now.
The little fatty was crying with snot all over his face. âBeautiful Goddess Sister, help me quickly! I donât want to die yet. If you save me, Iâll become your servant and slave.â
Feng Ruqing glanced at the little fatty in disdain. She let go of Nan Xianâs hand and moved slowly over to the leopard.
The leopard narrowed its eyes. âIf you take one more step, Iâll eat this fatty.â
âSure.â Feng Ruqing smiled brightly. âAfter all, this fatty has offended me before. If you want to eat him, go ahead. Do you want me to give you some spices? Heâll taste better roasted.â
The little fattyâs face was covered with tears. âHavenât I only just mistook you as a servant from General Manor? Do you have to scare me like this?â
Suspicion flashed in the leopardâs eyes. As he watched Feng Ruqing come closer, a deadly glint sparked in his eyes. âWhat are you doing now?â
Feng Ruqing was smiling. âI lack a spirit beast. I think youâll be suitable.â
The leopard was speechless. This woman was so straightforward with her words. Was she afraid that he would not understand her?
âI will never yield to humans!â
âReally?â There were smiles in Feng Ruqingâs eyes. âYouâve only dared to take the little fatty away and run without stopping because youâre badly hurt. Youâre afraid of being found out and canât fight back, am I right?â
The leopardâs huge body shuddered slightly before regaining his composure.
âWhat of it? With the little fatty in my grasp, you lot wouldnât dare to move rashly.â
âYeah. Whether the little fatty lives or not, it has nothing to do with me. I just think you look decent. Youâre fierce and strong. Youâll be a great help. Look at how youâre just scraping by in this spirit beast forest. You even have to eat things raw now. You probably canât even find any spirit herbs to cultivate yourself...â
The leopard was stunned. For some reason, after hearing Feng Ruqingâs words, he felt like crying.
He wanted to eat roast meat! He wanted to eat spirit herbs! He also wanted to be loved by humans.
Previously, humans and spirit beasts had had a great relationship.
However, ever since that group of humans appeared, he had been living his life escaping. His tribe was mostly gone, with only a few of them left. He would not even dare appear when he saw humans, and would only dare to bully little trash like this fatty.
