Chapter 31

"One more lap, one more lap!" Ji Mingqing swayed back and forth in the car excitedly. This was already his fourth lap. Xu Yihe had already gotten out of the car after he finished the first lap. Now only Ji Mingqing and Xiaowan were in the car.

Driving the train once consumes a quarter of the spiritual energy in the formation. After Ji Mingqing completed four circles, he had to stop.

The spiritual energy of the formation has not been completed yet.

Ji Mingqing made a rough estimate and found that it would take about half an hour, or two-quarters of an hour, for the train to make a circle, while if the formation was to be completed in advance, it would take two hours, or about four hours.

This speed is really a bit slow, but if one wants to make a superimposed formation, it is not impossible. However, with his current level of knowledge, he cannot do it, so he can only write it down in a small notebook for the time being.

After returning, Ji Mingqing saw Zhao Yu who was waiting for him. Only then did he remember that today was not the day for the normal transaction of Yang Shen Grass.

Except for the first month, the growth period of the Yangshen Grass was shortened to half a month. Ji Mingqing had picked the flowers of the Yangshen Grass long ago. At that time, he also contacted Zhao Yu, but Zhao Yu never replied.

"I'm sorry, Boss Ji, there have been some unexpected situations in the past two days." Before Ji Mingqing could ask, Zhao Yu apologized first.

He had been on the front line with the Lord these days. As soon as he had some time today, he came to find Ji Mingqing immediately. Unexpectedly, the Lord arrived earlier than him.

"It's okay, it's just an emergency." Ji Mingqing waved his hand indifferently, and then gave the flowers of the Yangshen Grass that he had prepared long ago to Zhao Yu. After the two completed the transaction, Ji Mingqing brought Xiaowan back to the yard.

As soon as he entered the room, Ji Mingqing sat down at the stone table, solemnly took out a piece of paper and tore it into two pieces. One piece had "Ten Spirit Pearls" written on it, and the other piece had "Twenty Spirit Pearls" written on it. Then he pushed it in front of Xiaowan seriously.

"Xiaowan, you just took the train. Do you think it's better to set the price at ten spirit beads or twenty spirit beads?"

Bai Cangze looked at Ji Mingqing in confusion. What was he trying to do? How could anyone put the decision-making power in the hands of a little kitten?

"Please help me choose. If it costs ten spirit beads, the price will be low and the customer flow should be larger. If it costs twenty spirit beads, the price will be high. Sometimes if there are many people in a family, the parents may hesitate. What do you think?" Ji Mingqing seemed to be really asking Xiaowan, his eyes full of expectation.

Bai Cangze had no idea what Ji Mingqing was thinking at the moment. He didn't know that Ji Mingqing was a little panicked by Xiaowan's "running away from home" this time, so he tried his best to make Xiaowan feel a sense of belonging here.

How can we make Xiaowan feel a sense of belonging? Of course, we should let him participate!

"Xiaowan, I've been wavering between these two prices, so I decided to listen to you."

When Bai Cangze heard this, he thought for a moment. Twenty spirit beads are not a lot. These immortals have lived in the fairy world for at least a thousand and eight hundred years. How could they not even afford twenty spirit beads?

So he decisively pressed his claws on the piece of paper with the number twenty spirit beads written on it, gently pushed it back, and then stretched out his claws and tapped it.

"You want me to set the price at twenty?" Ji Mingqing was delighted from the inside out. Great, great, it was a good start.

"Okay, let's make it this way from now on." Ji Mingqing collected the note that Xiaowan had pressed down, then secretly glanced at Xiaowan. Seeing that Xiaowan was staring at him straight, Ji Mingqing immediately retracted his gaze and said nonchalantly, "Do you have a fairy ring? Let's exchange contact information."

I used to treat Xiaowan as an ordinary kitten, but I forgot that Xiaowan can't speak. In fact, she is much stronger than them. Didn't you see that she can restore the wall destroyed by Cui Ding to its original state?

Bai Cangze frowned, and Ji Mingqing immediately added, "It's not for any other reason. It's just that if I'm sick and don't come one day, I can tell you in advance."

Bai Cangze curled his lips in disdain, but still took out his fairy ring and exchanged marks with Ji Mingqing.

Ji Mingqing looked at the Xiaowan symbol on the fairy ring and asked in surprise, "Why isn't your symbol a cat head?"

Not only is it not a cat head, Ji Mingqing looked at the ancient seal in front of him. He didn't even recognize the words on it, but for this mark, Ji Mingqing could feel the majesty and deterrence in it.

After hearing Ji Mingqing's words, Bai Cangze immediately wanted to erase the mark on Ji Mingqing's fairy ring, but Ji Mingqing got there first and put the fairy ring into his storage bag. "Hey, you can't remove it after exchanging with me."

After saying this, Ji Mingqing touched his chest thankfully. Fortunately, he was quick to act, otherwise Xiaowan would have been angry again.

After a two-hour delay, Ji Mingqing brought Xiaowan to the restaurant. "Wait for me outside. I'll be out in a moment."

Xiaowan was waiting outside. Cui Ding and Xu Yihe looked at their master who was standing at the counter and staring at them, and they quickened their pace in taking orders from the customers.

So much pressure!

Only Lu Jiyao, who had just arrived here, did not feel the restraint of Xu Yihe and Cui Ding at all. He raised his hand without any expression and pointed in the direction of Bai Cangze.

"Hey, the little white cat is back?"

Cui Ding, who was standing behind Lu Jiyao and facing Bai Cangze, became stiff. "Little white cat? Are you crazy?"

Neither Xu Yihe nor Cui Ding dared to speak. Instead, the young man sitting opposite him covered his mouth and chuckled, "Brother Lu, don't point at me and call me by my name. The kitten might not like it."

Xu Yihe took a deep breath, especially when he saw Bai Cangze hunched over and was about to attack them when Ji Mingqing came out of the kitchen.

"Xiaowan, why are you hunching over? Eat something delicious first." Ji Mingqing put the food for Xiaowan on the table, and then saw Lu Jiyao.

"Lu Jiyao, are you new here? I didn't see you just now."

"I just got here and wanted to introduce myself to you. This is my old friend from the same hometown. We are from the same little world."

"What a coincidence?" Ji Mingqing had never thought that there was such a way of socializing with fellow countrymen in the immortal world. "Why haven't I heard you mention this before?"

"He just came back from the small world. We happened to chat and found out that we were from the same small world." After Lu Jiyao finished speaking, he pulled the chair next to him and motioned Ji Mingqing to sit down.

"Boss Ji, I want to ask you for a favor." Just as Lu Jiyao was about to speak, he was interrupted by the person opposite him: "Brother Lu, I should have spoken up for this myself."

After he finished speaking, the man turned slightly and faced Ji Mingqing. He pursed his lips and revealed a shy smile: "Boss Ji, I heard from Brother Lu that you might have a vacant job, so I begged him to bring me here."

"My name is Wu Qi Gu, I'm a rabbit man, I just came back from the small world and I'm having some problems. I wonder if Boss Ji is willing to take me in."

"No, no, no." Ji Ming was momentarily flustered after hearing such a serious "job request".

However, since this person has Lu Jiyao's guarantee, he seems to be quite honest. Moreover, if he didn't really have any difficulties, he probably wouldn't ask Lu Jiyao for help.

"It's just that we don't need one here...eh?" Ji Mingqing suddenly had an idea. "You know what? I actually have a job that's suitable for you."

Ji Mingqing had just returned from the train and was looking for someone to open a toll booth next to the train. The restaurant business was good, Cui Ding and Xu Yihe were both busy and couldn't leave, and he also had things to do, so someone came to his door.

It's like giving me a pillow whenever I feel sleepy.

"It's like this. I do need someone here, and I'll charge a fee specifically..." Ji Mingqing explained in detail the work that Wu Qiguru would have to do after he arrived.

Wu Qigu listened carefully and even made a few small suggestions to fill in Ji Mingqing's preliminary plan which had some loopholes.

Ji Mingqing showed admiration. He patted Wu Qigu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Then come over if you have time in the next two days. As for the monthly salary, is Ten Immortal Pearls okay for you?"

"Of course. Thank you, Boss Ji." Wu Qigu stood up and wanted to salute Ji Mingqing, but Ji Mingxin quickly helped him up.

I don’t know what kind of difficulties Wu Qigu encountered. A job like this can make him so excited. The small world looks quite dangerous. Why are everyone so anxious to find a job after returning from the small world?

And all of this was seen by Bai Cangze behind him.

While Ji Mingqing was seeing someone off, Bai Cangze called Xu Yihe out. The two of them came to a corner outside the restaurant. Bai Cangze stood upright on the ground, with his head raised and a stern look on his face.

Xu Yihe, who was standing in front of him, put his hands in front of him, bent slightly, and lowered his head to look at the kitten in front of him. The scene was very strange.

"Go check out Wu Qigu's background. I always feel like there's something wrong with him."

"Yes, my lord." Xu Yihe accepted the task, and then Bai Cangze continued to give instructions.

"In a few days, when his little train officially starts running, get a few more people over." Besides naive children, no one would want to ride something so boring. Helping him out would save me from having to listen to his sighs every day.

However, the war ended recently and his men had nothing to do, so it would be nice to come here and let them relax.

Just as the two were discussing, they didn't realize that Ji Mingqing had already walked to the corner. If he took another step forward, he would find that something was wrong with these two people.

Bai Cangze, who had always been alert, finally regained his vigilance at this moment. His ears twitched slightly twice, and then he quickly jumped onto the wall next to him in a split second.

Before Xu Yihe could react, he came face to face with Ji Mingqing in a daze.

"What are you doing here?" Ji Mingqing was curious. There was only a broken wall here, with weeds everywhere and nothing much to see.

"Ah... I am..." Xu Yihe stammered. Seeing that he was so shy to speak and looked embarrassed as if he wanted to cover up something, Ji Mingqing seemed to have thought of something.

"Well... sometimes, it's better not to be afraid of seeing a doctor."

After Ji Mingqing finished speaking, he looked at Xu Yihe with pity, then shook his head and turned away.

Xu Yihe was stunned for a long while before he finally reacted.

"……I don't!"
