2562: Get to work

Get to work

The old man standing by the sea was stunned for a moment and looked intently when the thunderous sound of water came with a strange roar, but a large object had been thrown over before he could see it clearly.2

"What exactly is it?" He instinctively took a few steps back to avoid it, only to discover that the object had continued to move after being thrown to the ground.

"Hiss! You actually caught a sea monster?" The old man stared strangely at Feng Jiu, who was removing water stains with her spirit energy breath.

The spirit energy breath swept along her body and her previously soaked clothes dried in an instant. Even the water in her hair had drained away, leaving her beautiful, silky hair hung loosely across her back.

Feng Jiu cast a glance at the old man. She was putting on her coat while tying her hair with a ribbon. She didn't wear her boots, preferring to leave them on the ground and walk on the fine sand with her white jade-like feet.

"Would you like some seafood, Uncle?" She smiled and appeared to be a young lady from an aristocratic family. However, when he gazed at her, the old man's eyelids twitched.

A proper young lady from a noble family would not go soaking wet in order to capture sea monsters. Not to mention proper young ladies, even after all these years, he had never seen anyone go into the sea to capture the sea monster.

"This sea monster is not edible. What are you catching it for?" The old man remarked, touching the silver-like net at the same time and was taken aback. "This is a treasure." 

"Mm. This is a magic artifact." Feng Jiu replied, staring at the octopus monster scurrying around inside the silver net on the sand. "This thing is delicious and can only be found near the sea. At other places, even if I want to eat it, I won't be able to find it."

She looked around. When she saw the old man, she had an idea and asked with a smile, "Uncle, do you want to eat seafood? I make delicious food."

With a scowl on his face, the old man asked. "Tell me plainly. I'm a straightforward person who despises hemming and hawing the most." Despite the fact that this girl was not at all coy.

Then she smiled and told him directly. "Get some twigs, Uncle. I'll prepare a good meal." 

The old man choked. "Did you just ask me to collect twigs?"

"Uncle, didn't you say I should be forthright? I've said everything. Do you refuse to lend a hand?" She cast a glance at him and inquired, "Do you prefer to deal with the octopus monster as well as some fish, shrimp, and crabs? Let me clarify something first. Eating my food without contributing? This isn't going to work."

"Your food isn't tasty; I don't want to eat it." The old man stated before returning to sit on the sand.

"Alright, then! I'll have to do it myself now that Uncle has said so." She shrugged her shoulders and appeared unconcerned.

"Come out, Cloud Devouring Beast, Little White." She called out. Two rays of light flashed out of the space. In front of her, the Cloud Devouring Beast and the Little White Tiger appeared.

"Master." The two beasts called out. Little White was more affectionate and approached Feng Jiu for a rub.

When he saw that she still had two contract beasts, the old man couldn't stop staring at her.

"Go. You two go to the woods to collect some twigs. Later, I'll prepare some delicious food for you." Feng Jiu stroked Little White Tiger's head and gave orders to both of them.
