Chapter 118 World Four [4]
After successfully closing the door, Wen Ruyue temporarily placed the kitten in her arms on the sofa.
"I'm going to make lunch, you can just walk around the house." Wen Ruyue said.
Jing Ke swung his tail and quickly turned back into the appearance of a little white tiger. After running around on the sofa cushions, he stepped directly on the slightly cold tiles and looked up at the layout of the room.
Wen Ruyue purchased this house in full with the subsidies from various tasks. After deducting the shared expenses, the total area is 96 square meters, which is enough for her to live in alone.
The layout of the house is also very simple, with one bedroom, one living room, one bathroom and one kitchen.
The bedroom is relatively large, and the original study is also incorporated into it. A 100*200cm table is placed in the corner. In addition to electronic products such as computers, there are many other miscellaneous things placed on it.
Jing Ke jumped onto the table with ease, and what caught her eye was a neat row of cat ornaments. After pressing them with her paw, Jing Ke found that they were all soft and furry.
After jumping onto the bed, Jing Ke rolled several times on the quilt, then jumped onto the pillow, rubbed it with his head, and then leaped onto the carpet with light steps, wagging his tail and walking slowly to other places.
After Jing Ke finished scent-marking the territory, Wen Ruyue also successfully prepared lunch for herself, a plain bowl of fried egg and vegetable noodles.
After seeing Wen Ruyue preparing to eat at the dining table, Jing Ke jumped directly onto her legs, stepped on Wen Ruyue's thighs with his hind legs, put his front two paws on the table, and looked at the food in front of him.
As Jing Ke's furry head moved left and right, Wen Ruyue felt an itch on her neck, making her clench her chopsticks tightly.
"Xiaobai, are you hungry?" Wen Ruyue said, "I'll go get you some spirit stones."
Jing Ke swung his tail slightly in dissatisfaction, then jumped off Wen Ruyue's legs and landed lightly on the dining table.
Before Wen Ruyue could react, Jing Ke lowered his head and bit the fried egg on top, then looked at Wen Ruyue with wide eyes.
"Do you want to eat this bowl of noodles?" Wen Ruyue asked with a hint of uncertainty.
According to the Beast Taming Sect's "Guide to Raising Divine Beasts," Divine Beasts tend to prefer items imbued with spiritual energy. The noodles I just made were made with ingredients purchased from the supermarket, so they probably don't contain spiritual energy, right?
Jing Ke didn't say anything, but just showed Wen Ruyue how to finish a fried egg in five seconds.
"Ouch~" Jing Ke cried out, first touching the still hot bowl of noodles with his paw, then stepping on Wen Ruyue's hand holding the chopsticks with his paw pad, trying to make her understand what he meant.
"Do you want me to feed you noodles?" Wen Ruyue asked word by word. After seeing the little white tiger nod up and down, she slowly picked up the noodles with chopsticks and put them in front of the little white tiger's mouth with a frown.
Jing Ke didn't bite the noodles directly, but raised his paw and shook it, then looked at Wen Ruyue again.
This time, Wen Ruyue didn't ask any questions. She blew on the steaming noodles and handed them back to the little white tiger's mouth.
After seeing the little white tiger eating noodles with gusto, the surprise in Wen Ruyue's eyes gradually disappeared, and she just silently acted as a feeder. After the little white tiger stretched out on the table with satisfaction, she slowly returned to the kitchen with the empty bowl.
Wen Ruyue didn't bother to cook another bowl of noodles for herself. Instead, she took out her cell phone and found the senior sister of the Beastmaster Sect whom she had added.
Wen Ruyue: Excuse me, can divine beasts eat ordinary people’s food?
The eldest sister of the Beast Taming Sect often surfs the Internet and replied to the message in less than two minutes.
Furry and Spectacular: Theoretically, divine beasts can eat any food, but ordinary people's food doesn't contain spiritual energy and instead contains many impurities. If a divine beast eats too much, it may need to expend additional spiritual energy to expel the impurities.
Furry Race: Is the little white tiger interested in human food? What does it eat?
Wen Ruyue: A bowl of noodles with fried egg and vegetables, and I drank half of the soup.
Maorongrongsaigao: In that case, it may be that the little divine beast has not had much contact with the outside world, so it is curious about everything.
Maorongrong Saigao: It’s not a big problem. It’s just a bowl of noodles. It won’t have any effect on the mythical beast.
Wen Ruyue: Okay, thank you.
Maorongrong Saigao: You’re welcome. If you have the chance, remember to bring your little divine beast to visit our sect. Food and accommodation are provided, and we can also provide the little divine beast with extremely professional food!
After seeing the message from the Beast Taming Sect's senior sister, Wen Ruyue had an idea and quickly replied.
Wen Ruyue: Can I order some ingredients containing spiritual energy from you?
Maorongrong Saigao: In principle, our Beast Taming Sect will not provide it to outsiders, but if it is to feed the divine beast, I can apply to the Sect Master.
Maorongrong Saigao: But I have to make one thing clear in advance, the cost-effectiveness of food containing spiritual energy is not very high. The food you buy with one hundred ordinary spirit stones may only contain the spiritual power of fifty spirit stones.
Wen Ruyue: I understand. If possible, I would like to order food worth twenty ordinary spirit stones every month, and try to use a vegetarian combination.
Maorongrong Saigao: Okay, this quantity is not difficult to obtain. Just leave your address and I will tell the master. If it’s fast, I will send it to you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Then we can pay and receive the goods.
After completing the transaction with the Beast Taming Sect's senior sister, Wen Ruyue finally had time to fry eggs for herself again, making a bowl of fried egg and vegetable noodles that was no different from the previous one.
After serving the food this time, Jing Ke did not continue to express that he wanted to eat too. After walking around the dining table twice, he lay down on Wen Ruyue's legs again and began to feel sleepy.
There was no way. Jing Ke could only be considered a divine beast cub now. After coming out of the sealing formation, she had just reached the growth stage. When her body had not yet adapted to the low concentration of spiritual energy, she spent more than half of the day sleeping.
Wen Ruyue had long been accustomed to the little white tiger sleeping next to her. After calmly finishing her meal, she first put the little white tiger on the sofa, and then went to the kitchen to wash and deal with the leftover food.
Thinking that the neighbors already knew that she had a "kitten" at home, Wen Ruyue skillfully opened the food delivery app and ordered a bunch of things that the kitten would need from a pet supply store.
It doesn’t matter whether the little white tiger is used or not, but in order to avoid revealing flaws in front of ordinary people, necessary concealment is still very necessary.
The little white tiger is also a cat, so when Jing Ke saw Wen Ruyue put cat climbing frames and scratching boards in the living room and bedroom, she couldn't help but go over and try them out. Not only did she jump around on the cat climbing frame, she also showed off her sharp claws and started sharpening them.
An ordinary cat scratching board could not withstand Jing Ke's scratching. She just scratched it twice without controlling her strength, and successfully broke the cat scratching board made of hemp rope.
"Ouch~" After meeting Wen Ruyue's slightly helpless eyes, Jing Ke opened his eyes wide, tilted his head skillfully and revealed an innocent expression.
I'm just a little tiger who knows nothing. You shouldn't blame me.
"I was inconsiderate. I'll prepare a better quality one for you later." Wen Ruyue said, sighing in her heart.
What did the little white tiger do wrong? It was a divine beast. It just broke a cat scratching post.
After thinking about this, Wen Ruyue bent down and picked up the little white tiger standing on the cat climbing frame, and touched one of its ears with her fingertips with great restraint.
"The beds and sofas here are not as sturdy as those in the base. If you still want to sleep with me, you must not scratch the quilt or sheets." Wen Ruyue said.
"Woo~" Jing Ke called out softly, raised his head and licked Wen Ruyue's neck as a response to her.
"Do you want to eat the meal I cook tonight? If so, I can make two servings." Wen Ruyue asked.
Jing Ke recalled the noodles he had tasted at noon, then nodded, and then took out a spirit stone from his own space and placed it on Wen Ruyue's chest.
"Huh? Is this a spirit stone?" Wen Ruyue's attention was immediately drawn to the extremely high-quality spirit stone.
After freeing her hands to carefully examine it, Wen Ruyue's expression changed slightly. Frowning, she asked, "Xiaobai, where did you get this spirit stone? The quality is even better than top-grade spirit stones. It can almost be called top-grade."
Jing Ke started to act stupid, and after a howl, he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Where else could she get it from? Of course it was a gift from her physical mother.
All the treasures and spirit stones in the secret realm were used to extend the life of the little white tiger. The sealed little white tiger could not use so many resources, so they were all stored in its own storage space.
If his true self had not merged with the little white tiger, the little white tiger might have died long ago in the Dharma Ending Age. Since he had become the little white tiger, the things he saved were naturally his.
Seeing the little white tiger in her arms purring softly, Wen Ruyue could only sigh inwardly. She chose to put away this extremely rare top-grade spirit stone, which was intended to be used as food allowance for the little white tiger in the future.
Perhaps it was because Wen Ruyue's embrace was too comfortable, and after lying there for a while, Jing Ke stopped pretending to be asleep and actually fell asleep.
After realizing that he was placed on the bed, he simply rolled around, occupying half of the pillow very naturally.
Wen Ruyue has never been very angry with furry things. Before turning off the lights, she very restrainedly touched the markings on the little white tiger's forehead with her fingertips, then turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Wen Ruyue used her strong self-control to hold back and didn't hold the little white tiger like a doll or pillow while sleeping.
After hearing the extremely regular breathing of the little white tiger beside her ear, Wen Ruyue fell into sleep at an extremely fast speed.
It wasn't until the next morning, when the alarm clock she had set in advance started vibrating, that she reluctantly opened her eyes.
Huh—huh—
My chest feels stuffy and I can’t breathe.
Wen Ruyue turned her head to look at the other half of the pillow, and when she found that the little white tiger that was originally sleeping next to the pillow was gone, she guessed the reason.
Wen Ruyue stretched her hand out from under the quilt and groped her chest with half-closed eyes.
Not surprisingly, Wen Ruyue immediately touched the little white tiger sleeping on her chest. Before her reason completely returned to her brain, Wen Ruyue followed her inner desire and touched the little white tiger's back all the way to its tail, experiencing the wonderful feeling of rubbing a tiger.
Such a large-scale caress made Jing Ke's eyes open a little. After taking a quick look at Wen Ruyue with his amber eyes, Jing Ke just used his tail to slap the other's back of the hand twice as a punishment, and then closed his eyes again.
Wen Ruyue couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. She restrainedly touched the warm fur on the side of the little white tiger, then held the little white tiger in her arms and sat up.
After washing up, Wen Ruyue made breakfast for two people and prepared a fried egg, a meat bun and a glass of milk for the little white tiger.
While eating breakfast, Wen Ruyue opened the internal app to check the latest news.
It is autumn now, and many monsters plan to do something big and then recuperate in the winter, so compared to summer, the Special Management Bureau has many more tasks than usual.
After sending a few voice messages to remotely guide the Special Management Bureau members who asked her questions, Wen Ruyue chose a B-level task based on the principle of proximity.
Someone witnessed a three-meter-long black bear at a resort in the northern suburbs. After three days of joint search by the local police and forestry bureau, nothing was found.
After inspection by the Special Management Bureau, it was found that there were residual spiritual power fluctuations in the area where the black bear appeared, and the intensity was about that of the great perfection of the Qi Refining Stage.
The resort has been temporarily closed for renovations and is in urgent need of capable members of the Special Management Bureau to find the black bear and take it in.
Wen Ruyue took a look at the time limit and reward below. If the task was completed within three days, she would get 500 points and a cash reward of 50,000 yuan.
The points of the Special Management Bureau can be exchanged for spirit stones and magic weapons. Five hundred points are equivalent to about ten ordinary spirit stones.
If calculated based on the consumption of feeding the little white tiger one ordinary spirit stone every day, Wen Ruyue needs to take on at least three B-level tasks every month.
After Jing Ke finished his breakfast in no time, he walked to Wen Ruyu's side and took a look at the contents of his mobile phone.
After realizing that Wen Ruyue was still a hard-working worker, Jing Ke kindly took out another high-quality spirit stone from his own space.
clatter--
Jing Ke threw the top-grade spirit stone on the dining table, then she put her claws on the spirit stone and pushed it towards Wen Ruyue.
"Are you going to give me the spirit stone?" Wen Ruyue looked at the spirit stone held by the little white tiger, and felt like she was being supported by the little white tiger in return.
Jing Ke nodded, then snatched the phone from Wen Ruyue's hand with one claw.
Her meaning was very clear, that is, don't worry about whether there is a mission or not, the most important thing is to take good care of yourself.
Wen Ruyue actually understood Jing Ke's meaning this time, but she picked up her phone with a hint of helplessness and patiently explained, "I'm not that short of spirit stones. Assisting the Special Management Bureau in completing their mission is my job."
"Also, allowing a Black Bear Demon who has reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining to wreak havoc in the resort is a very dangerous matter. If we don't deal with it immediately, the Black Bear Demon might leave the resort and go somewhere else, and then many innocent people will die."
Wen Ruyue knew that the little white tiger could understand, so she explained the pros and cons of it very seriously.
Jing Ke increased the frequency of wagging her tail. Her body's instinct made her want to keep Wen Ruyue by her side so that she only needed to focus on taking care of herself.
However, Jing Ke is not an ordinary divine beast cub after all. Instinct can only have some impact on her thinking, but cannot interfere with her final decision.
So after listening to Wen Ruyue's explanation, Jing Ke pressed his front paws on Wen Ruyue's hand and whimpered softly at her.
To outsiders, Jing Ke just let out a soft howl as usual, but when the same sound reached Wen Ruyue's ears, it was automatically translated into a sentence.
"If you want to go, take me with you." A girl's voice with a hint of childishness came into Wen Ruyue's ears.
After hearing the unfamiliar voice, Wen Ruyue couldn't help but show a bit of surprise. She lowered her eyes to look at the little paw pressing on the back of her hand, "Xiaobai, were you the one speaking just now?"
Wen Ruyue was very sure that she had not taught the little white tiger any other spells in the past few days. In that case, could the little white tiger have conveyed its feelings to her from the very beginning?
"Of course it's me. I signed a contract with you. If you get hurt, it will cause trouble for me." Jing Ke continued, "So no matter where you go, you must take me with you. This is my order to the contractor."
Jing Ke shook his ears as he spoke, and tried to raise his neck, wanting to show the demeanor of a divine beast.
