Chapter 10
"Excuse me, how did you know that I wanted to hire someone?" Ji Mingqing asked cautiously. What if the gods could really hear his prayers? Wouldn't that be too bad!
Cui Ding had already thought of an excuse. "I just returned from the Three Thousand Small Worlds and encountered some accidents. So I needed immortal stones, so I tried everywhere. There is no shortage of people in other places, so I came here to ask."
So that's how it is. Ji Mingqing breathed a sigh of relief. If it was really that effective, he would be really embarrassed.
"I've been thinking about hiring an immortal lately. You've come just in time, but the immortal stones I'll pay you each month won't be that much." Ji Mingqing paused, and seeing Cui Ding didn't react, he felt relieved and continued, "Just help me with some chores every day and buy some goods every few days. If you can finish it in the morning, you can leave in the afternoon."
After hearing this, Cui Ding quickly stated, "I can help out this afternoon, but to be honest, I can't find anything else to do right now."
The Lord didn't give me any missions from other factions.
"Is that so..." Ji Mingqing hesitated for a long time. This person was essentially a full-time employee. If he gave too little, it would be bad, but if he gave too much, he wouldn't have anything either. Finally, after a struggle between his conscience and his desires, he tentatively said, "One immortal bead per month. What do you think?"
"Okay, okay!" Cui Ding agreed without hesitation. It would be easy if he could stay. This mission was half completed. When the time comes to go back...
At this time, Cui Ding saw the cat lying on the recliner behind Ji Ming.
This breath, this form, this look...
This is the Lord!
Cui Ding took a step back in shock. He would never admit his mistake. He had fought on the battlefield with the Lord many times. The Lord's brave and domineering figure always stood in front of them to clear the way for them and led them straight into the enemy camp. Even though the Lord's original form had become smaller, it was still majestic.
Oh my God, why is the Lord here!
Cui Ding didn't dare to look at Bai Cangze. Bai Cangze sneered in his heart. Very good, he had another reason to punish Cui Ding.
Cui Ding felt that the immortal energy around him had solidified. He stood in the middle of the yard, his whole body stiff and not daring to breathe. Fortunately, Ji Mingqing spoke up and broke the deadlock.
"I modified the contract I signed before. Now it's like this. See if there is anything that needs to be changed." Ji Mingqing just took out the contract he had signed with Lu Jiyao before, made some slight changes, and handed it to Cui Ding.
Cui Ding took a casual look, then looked at the vulnerable formation above. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief and was about to sign it casually, he felt a gust of wind blowing by his ears, which made Ji Mingqing close his eyes involuntarily.
Ji Mingqing didn't see it, but Cui Dingke did. The Lord strengthened the contract formation with just two moves, immediately breaking his plan to break the contract at will.
He subconsciously turned around and looked at Bai Cangze with a bitter face, but he actually saw a look of anticipation on the kitten's furry face.
Cui Ding turned around and could only sign a contract with Ji Mingqing with great difficulty, officially becoming Ji Mingqing's first helper.
"Why was the wind so strong just now that it blew my eyes closed." Ji Mingqing rubbed his eyes, "Have you signed everything?" Seeing Cui Ding so impatient, Ji Mingqing quickly signed his name on the contract.
It seems that Cui Ding has really encountered difficulties.
Ji Mingqing looked at Cui Ding, thought for a while, and took out ten fairy beads from his storage bag and handed them to him. "It's not a lot, but you can use them first. If our business is good in the future, I will increase your monthly salary."
Cui Ding looked at the ten immortal beads in his hand, his heart tangled. He took a deep breath, then raised his head, forced a smile and said to Ji Mingqing, "Thank you very much."
Ji Mingqing patted Cui Ding's shoulder comfortingly, "It's okay. No matter what the obstacle is, it will be overcome sooner or later."
Cui Ding turned his head slightly and found that his "Kan" was looking at him expressionlessly. He felt like crying but had no tears.
"Then I'll get started now." Cui Ding said, "Master Ji, is there anything I can do for you?"
Ji Mingqing looked around, scratched his head, pointed to a few fish in a basket in the corner and said, "Why don't you help me deal with the fish?"
He wasn't really ready to hire anyone yet.
"Sure." This job was simple. When they went out to fight, they often hunted in the wild. Fish was also something they ate frequently, so he was an experienced hand at it.
After arranging the tasks, Ji Mingqing turned back to the kitchen and started preparing today's meal.
Lu Jiyao had just contacted him and informed him that twelve people wanted to make reservations today. Before that, he had to prepare meals for himself, Xiaowan, and of course, the new employee.
After a while, Ji Mingqing heard Cui Ding's voice calling out, "Master Ji, I've taken care of all the fish. Is there anything else?"
"Really? So fast!" He had just cut two radishes, and the two baskets of fish over there had already been processed. Could this be the difference in cultivation?
Ji Mingqing put down the kitchen knife and walked out of the kitchen. As soon as he left the house, he was so frightened that his blood boiled.
"What have you done?" Ji Mingqing exclaimed. The ground was covered in blood, and in the middle of it lay two basins of fish "remains." The fish, regardless of size, had been neatly chopped into three pieces, with no scales scraped off or internal organs removed.
Ji Mingqing looked at the white eyes of the fish and felt a sense of desolation that they were unwilling to close their eyes in death.
"Didn't you ask me to prepare the fish?" Cui Ding saw that Ji Mingqing's expression was not right, and his voice became increasingly quiet due to his guilty conscience. "I used to prepare it this way. When we went to the battlefield, we didn't cut it into three parts. We just grilled it and ate it directly."
As Cui Ding spoke, his head lowered lower and lower.
Just now when he was chopping fish, the Lord just stood opposite him and looked at him without saying a word. Even when he tried to whisper to the Lord, the Lord pretended not to hear.
What on earth did he do wrong?
When Ji Ming heard the word "battlefield", his anger instantly subsided. He hadn't expected Cui Ding to be a retired soldier. The complaint that Ji Mingqing had almost blurted out just now instantly turned into "It's okay, it's my fault that I didn't teach you."
But the person in front of him was standing upright. The pool of blood made him feel troubled. There was no well in the house, so he had to go to the river outside to fetch water. Such a big pool would definitely require a lot of water to clean up.
"Let's ignore the fish for now. Let's go outside to get some water and clean the floor." Ji Mingqing turned around to take out the bucket stored in the kitchen, but was stopped by Cui Ding.
"No, I'm good at cleaning this."
After hearing Cui Ding's words, Ji Mingqing was somewhat skeptical. The scene before him really cast too much shadow on him, but he didn't want to discourage Cui Ding's enthusiasm.
"Okay, then I'll leave this to you." Ji Mingqing couldn't imagine how far the car would go after clearing the ground.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Cui Ding cast the spell, a huge stream of water rushed straight towards Ji Mingqing. Ji Mingqing had no time to react at all and was knocked to the ground by the huge stream of water, his whole body soaked.
It would have been fine if only Ji Mingqing was soaked, but the water flowed into the kitchen and directly flooded most of the kitchen.
Now the ground was cleaned up, but more problems arose.
Bai Cangze didn't even react to Cui Ding's move, but he was better than Ji Mingqing. He dried himself the moment he was soaked by water.
Cui Ding didn't expect that after controlling himself again and again, it would still turn out like this. In the past, his moves were all big and wide, and he never needed such a fine flow of water. He quickly stopped, but found that Ji Mingqing had fallen to the ground unconscious. A small part of the kitchen had collapsed, and a lot of things inside were damaged.
Cui Ding knew that he was in trouble, so he ran to Ji Mingqing and wanted to cast a spell to save him, but he found that Ji Mingqing was not fainted at all. He was just lying on the ground, staring blankly at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ji Mingqing regretted it at this moment. He really regretted it. He shouldn't have been soft-hearted and let the person stay, nor should he have signed the contract without a trial, and he shouldn't have let Cui Ding try.
He was wrong, completely wrong.
"What happened to you? Are you okay? Immortal Ji, Immortal Ji!" Cui Ding shook Ji Mingqing. Ji Mingqing lay on the ground, slowly tilting his head to look at Cui Ding, and said with a bit of despair: "It's okay, I'm still alive."
As long as he was still alive, Cui Ding felt relieved. "I just used too much strength. Let me help you dry the kitchen! My fire skills are no worse than my water skills."
"No!" Ji Mingqing sat up in shock, "No need! I can do it!"
Cui Ding was just trying to continue trying to make amends when he felt someone slap him hard on the back, and he almost flew out the door.
"Xiao Wan, are you okay?" Ji Mingqing was relieved to see that the kitten, hiding behind Cui Ding, hadn't gotten any water on it. He wanted to reach out and touch Xiao Wan, but then he remembered that his hands were all wet. So he quickly wiped them on his clothes, but because his clothes were also soaked, it didn't help.
As Ji Mingqing was wiping, a huge feeling of grievance surged in his heart. He suddenly felt extremely powerless, and simply collapsed, looking at the palm of his hand numbly.
Bai Cangze looked at Ji Mingqing, who was a little anxious and distraught, and unconsciously stretched out his front paw and placed it in Ji Mingqing's palm.
Ji Mingqing's eyes suddenly lit up when he felt the furry touch on his palm, "Xiao Wan!" This was the first time Xiao Wan touched him, and it was also the first time the two of them had physical contact. All the negative emotions that had been lingering in Ji Mingqing's heart disappeared at this moment.
However, the contact between the two lasted only a brief moment. After Bai Cangze retracted his front paws, Ji Mingqing felt his body dry. He quickly lowered his head to look at his clothes and found that his feeling was not wrong. He was actually "dried with one click" by Xiaowan!
"Xiaowan! You are so awesome!" Ji Mingqing wanted to give Xiaowan a hug immediately, but before Ji Mingqing could do anything, Xiaowan had already left the kitchen leisurely, and the kitchen gradually returned to its original state as Xiaowan left.
Ji Mingqing was shocked! Xiaowan was so powerful!
This was the first time he personally felt the exquisiteness of the immortal technique.
Bai Cangze walked out of the kitchen without even looking at Cui Ding. He only said the first words of the day to him when he passed by him.
"Go back and train triple."
The author has something to say:
The training that was originally written was doubled.
But after watching it, I feel that Cui Ding is really hateful.
Tripled in anger!
