Chapter 258 263, I don’t want to be a mount, but he really is…
At noon, Xiaoqing opened the door by herself and returned to the houseboat to prepare for lunch. Since they had agreed to provide a free lunch during work, Xiaoqing had to eat this meal even if she was not hungry.
I don't know if it was because the weather was cold and the snake was lazy and lacking energy, or if it was because it had become familiar with Ouyang Feng and was gradually revealing its true nature. In any case, Xiaoqing's sitting posture was quite sloppy, with the whole person slumped in the chair, and it looked like it was just about to coil up its body.
Looking at Xiaoqing's lazy look, Ouyang Feng said with a smile:
"You don't want to hibernate, do you?"
"It's not like they hibernate, they're not ordinary snakes, but it's true that they lose energy in the winter."
Xiao Qing propped her chin up with one hand and stared at Ouyang Feng intently:
"The weather at your dojo is pretty good. But after staying in your dojo for a long time, I suddenly came back here and was struck by the cold air. I feel even more listless... By the way, why is the weather at your dojo still like early summer?"
Ouyang Feng casually explained:
"Because the further south you go, the warmer the climate is. If you've been to Qiongzhou, you'll know that when it's winter in Lin'an, it's still as warm as spring in Qiongzhou."
Xiaoqing was thoughtful:
"So, your dojo is actually in the South China Sea?"
"Further south than the South China Sea."
"I see. So when is dinner?"
"soon."
"But I don't smell any food... Don't you have a fire on your boat?"
"I haven't hired a cook yet, so how can I start the fire? Do I have to cook by myself?"
"So it's the restaurant that delivers the food?"
"Ah."
Xiaoqing's eyes lit up and she straightened her back:
"The best meal at Fenglelou?"
"What are you thinking about?" Ouyang Feng smiled and said, "You have to put yourself in the right place, Xiaoqing. You are my hired worker, not my little mistress. Why are you waiting for a feast in Fengle Tower..."
I can also be a housewife!
I definitely have a talent for spending money like water!
Xiaoqing muttered to herself, holding her chin with one hand, her eyes were charming and seductive:
"You are so rich, have you ever thought about... finding a good person to help you squander it?"
Then she thought, am I being too proactive? Will he look down on me?
So she quickly put away her coquettish look, acted serious, and said:
"Don't think too much. I don't mean anything else. I just think, aren't you rich enough to rival a country? If you don't spend it quickly, it will be a pity that you will be gone in the future but the money is still there."
Ouyang Feng had no expression on his face:
"Are you... cursing me?"
"No, no, I'm just stating a possibility. You're my boss, how could I possibly curse you? I can't wait to wish you a long life..."
"If you don't have a hundred thousand years of life, what is the point of being a human being in this world?"
"Uh, sorry, I'm a wild monster who grew up in the mountains. I haven't been in the human world for long, so I don't know much about human etiquette. Please don't mind if I say something wrong. Anyway, I definitely hope you live a long life. You understand, I hope you understand."
"I am immortal. No matter what, the possibility you are talking about will not exist." Ouyang Feng said lightly, and then changed the subject: "But if you want to earn more, I have a good job that suits you."
"What kind of work?"
A little housewife?
Although I, Xiaoqing, can neither play any musical instrument nor sing, nor do I know how to weave or embroider, and am not even good at cooking, but I can eat, drink and spend money, so there is absolutely no problem for me to be a housewife!
Just as I was looking forward to it, I heard Ouyang Feng say leisurely:
"I'm still missing a mount..."
"what?"
Xiao Qing's eyes widened, and she slammed the table. "I am a great demon with hundreds of years of cultivation, and you actually want me to be your mount? You took me..."
"Fifty strings of cash." Ouyang Feng said calmly, "Fifty strings of cash per month."
Xiaoqing glared:
"This is not about money. This is about my dignity as a demon. Dignity is priceless, you know?"
We can discuss the little girl at home, but mounts are definitely not an option!
"One hundred strings of cash." Ouyang Feng made another offer.
"Ha, are you listening to me? The dignity of a great demon cannot be trampled by money!"
"One price, two hundred strings of cash. If you don't agree, forget it. I'll find another mount."
Xiao Qing said seriously: "If you want to fight, you have to pay extra."
"no problem."
“When will I start work?”
"at any time."
"Then let's start from today." Xiao Qing held out her hands to him: "I'll advance you half a month's salary first."
Ouyang Feng took out three small gold ingots and placed them in her palm:
"Each coin weighs one ounce, which is worth one hundred and five strings of cash at the current gold price in Lin'an Prefecture. The extra five strings of cash is considered a reward."
Xiao Qing smiled happily: "Thank you for the reward, sir."
While thanking the reward, she was still comforting herself:
This is not called selling out your dignity, this is called making rational use of your own advantages to make a fortune.
Alas, who told my sister and brother-in-law that they don't know how to make money? The clinic is like a charity...
So, I am also doing this for the good of my family.
Having said that, the monthly allowance for a mount is 200 strings of cash. So how much would the monthly allowance for a little girl at home be?
At least five hundred... no, one thousand kan, right?
It's a pity that this guy is a little unromantic.
However... the mount is closer to the master than a farmhand, so there is a chance that it will be upgraded to a house-raised concubine.
This is a roundabout way for me, and it hasn't delayed my earning money.
I am so clever!
After the employment agreement was negotiated, which satisfied both parties, the restaurant's food delivery service arrived.
Although the meal they ordered was not from Fenglelou, the best restaurant in Lin'an, it was from Xiyuanlou, a relatively famous restaurant near West Lake. Xiaoqing was quite satisfied with the meal.
After having a good meal and a good drink, she was just about to open the door and go back to work at Ouyang Feng's "Overseas Fairy Mountain Dojo" located "further south of the South China Sea" when Ouyang Feng stood up and said:
"Let's go together. I've already paid for the mount in advance, so I have to try riding it anyway."
Xiaoqing said solemnly:
"Don't blame me for not warning you. I'm very ferocious in my true form. Don't blame me if you get scared."
Ouyang Feng said with a smile:
"Don't worry, I'm very brave."
The two of them returned to the paradise together. Xiaoqing looked at Ouyang Feng with a smile, and her body suddenly expanded and changed. In the blink of an eye, she turned into a giant green-scaled snake that was more than ten feet long.
The giant snake has two wing-like green membranes from its cheeks to its neck. When it breathes, the membranes open and become covered with spines. There is also a row of sail-shaped spines on its back that are as sharp as blades. It does look quite ferocious.
However, the beautiful emerald green, slender and flowing mane on the neck diluted some of the fierce temperament and gave people a sense of elegance and nobility.
Ouyang Feng looked at the giant green-scaled snake that was coiled in front of him like a small mountain, with its long neck raised and hissing, and sighed:
"Xiaoqing, your true appearance already looks a bit like a dragon."
A clear female voice uttered from the giant snake's mouth: "This is not the appearance of a dragon. My sister and I were born as different species of spirit snakes. We were born like this. If we can achieve enlightenment in the future, we don't need to transform into dragons, we can also become immortals."
"A natural snake of a different species? You can become an immortal without turning into a dragon?" Ouyang Feng's mind moved, "Are you and your sister descendants of the Teng Snake?"
Legend has it that Teng Snake has a very close relationship with Nuwa. Nuwa "rides the Thunder Chariot, drives Yinglong, rides on Qingqiu, supports Juerui, sits on Luotu, is covered with yellow clouds, has a white dragon in front, and a running snake behind." The "running snake" is Teng Snake, which means that Teng Snake is at least a mythical beast on par with Yinglong.
Xiaoqing and Bai Niangzi certainly cannot be the ancient Teng Snake, but they are very likely descendants of Teng Snake and have Teng Snake blood in their bodies, so even if they cannot transform into dragons, they are born with some dragon appearance.
"Teng Snake? I don't know! Anyway, I was born like this. Of course, I wasn't this big before, I was just a small snake..."
Xiaoqing slowly lowered the huge snake head, "Don't you want to ride? Come on up!"
Ouyang Feng leaped up and landed on the back of Xiaoqing's neck. He grabbed the two long and flowing emerald-colored neck hairs like reins and shook them gently: "Go!"
"What are you driving? I'm not a horse!"
Xiao Qing muttered unhappily, twisted her body, and suddenly rushed out, faster than the wind, yet very steadily. Ouyang Feng hardly felt any vibration.
“Yes, the riding experience is very comfortable.”
Ouyang Feng said with satisfaction:
"Can you still fly now?"
"Of course!"
Xiaoqing slapped the ground with its tail, and its huge body, more than ten feet long, soared into the air, riding the wind straight into the sky.
"The flying speed is a little slower, only slightly faster than my flying dragon."
"Don't be picky. It's good enough for a creature this big to be able to fly!"
"That's right. But you are still a little inexperienced and have not yet fully explored the potential of the Teng Snake bloodline."
"Then you should teach me how to develop the potential of my bloodline!"
"You and your sister usually practice by absorbing and exhaling the essence of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, and cultivating your true essence and magic power, right?"
"Is there a problem? Isn't this how both monsters and human monks practice?"
"Of course there is no problem with practicing like this. However, if you focus on cultivating your true essence and magic power, it is inevitable that you will be less able to explore the potential of your physical body. Your true form looks huge and ferocious, but it is only supported by your magic power, not by developing the potential of your physical body. Therefore, you have to temper your physical body and explore the potential of your bloodline."
"So, how do we temper our bodies?"
"Are you afraid of thunder and lightning?"
"You ask this question, are there any monsters that are not afraid of thunder?"
"But you are not an ordinary monster, you may be a descendant of the Teng Snake. Anyway, I have a lightning body technique here, you can try to practice it."
The Tiger Demon Bone Refining and Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound were learned from the tiger demon, and changed to suit the human body, but may not be suitable for the snake demon.
The "Lightning Body Technique" that uses thunder and lightning to temper the body is extremely universal and can be practiced by any living being.
Even monsters who are naturally afraid of thunder can try to practice it.
Anyway, it is the thunder that one controls. As long as one can overcome his innate fear, he can use it to refine his body.
"You are so kind to teach me the skills?" Xiao Qing asked crisply, "What are the conditions? Please make it clear in advance that you cannot deduct my wages!"
"You are my hired mount now. It concerns my dignity. You may even have to fight for me in the future. Of course, the stronger the better. Don't worry, I won't deduct your wages, and there are no other conditions."
This guy is such a blockhead!
I said that I couldn't deduct your wages, so I could eliminate the easiest option for you to propose other conditions, but you actually...
Xiaoqing was a little annoyed, but she couldn't say it directly, otherwise wouldn't it make her seem too frivolous?
I can only say weakly:
"You're a very nice person..."
Ouyang Feng said leisurely:
"After spending more time with me, you will understand that there is no better boss in the world than me."
But I'm not really complimenting you.
While Xiaoqing was muttering to herself, Ouyang Feng had already started talking about the method of the Lightning Body Technique.
In Xiaoqing's mind, Ouyang Feng is not an ordinary cultivator - he can occupy such a large territory overseas, and it is such a fairyland full of spiritual vitality. He also possesses a magic weapon that can "deepen into the abyss and shrink the earth". His cultivation is unfathomable.
The skills taught by this kind of monk with great supernatural powers are naturally not ordinary ones. You must listen carefully and study them carefully.
She stopped talking at that moment and listened carefully to and memorized the method taught by Ouyang Feng.
While listening to him teaching his skills, she flew him around the sky, adjusting the speed and direction according to the strength and angle of the pull on his neck mane. Soon they flew over a snowy mountain and saw a dense mulberry forest on the mountainside. Several girls seemed to be picking mulberry leaves in the forest.
The girls also saw the green snake flying in the sky and looked up at it curiously. There was no fear or panic on their faces, only deep curiosity.
"Are these Ouyang Feng's disciples? Why are they all girls?"
Xiaoqing did not go down to take a closer look, but went straight past the snow peak. Soon she saw another mountain top. A huge gray-white wolf with a head as big as a water tank was squatting on the mountain top and howling at the sky. When it saw Xiaoqing in the sky from afar, the wolf's eyes fixed and he put on a majestic look, but when he saw Ouyang Feng standing on the snake's neck, he immediately shrank his neck, lay on the ground, and acted submissively.
"This wolf is Ling Xuzi, the guardian spirit beast of the mountain! Tsk, it's just a wolf demon, but it's so unfair to give it such a fancy Taoist name!"
Passing by Lingxuzi's cave, they continued to patrol in the sky. By the time Ouyang Feng finished teaching them the skills, they had already patrolled most of Fangzhang Island.
"Is there anything you don't understand?"
"There are still a few things I don't understand."
Xiaoqing did not pretend to understand, and told Ouyang Feng some points that she did not understand. Ouyang Feng patiently answered them one by one.
In this way, Xiaoqing carried Ouyang Feng and cruised over Fangzhang Island. She roughly identified the terrain of the entire Fangzhang Island and thoroughly understood the "Lightning Light Body Art".
"Let's go back to Snake Valley and do some work."
Ouyang Feng gently pulled Xiaoqing's two neck manes and let her fly towards the Snake Valley.
"Just tell me, don't keep pulling my mane."
Xiaoqing complained, turned around and flew to Snake Valley, asking:
"Aren't there two more islands? I'll be carrying you anyway, so you don't have to work hard. Why don't you go take a look?"
"I'm done with my fun today."
Ouyang Feng patted Xiaoqing's smooth and warm green scales and said with a smile:
"The riding experience is great. You are now a qualified mount."
Even though it was a compliment...it didn't make the snake very happy!
Xiaoqing thought helplessly.
Flying all the way back to Snake Valley, Xiaoqing changed back into human form, sat on a rock, and said:
"I'm going to try the Lightning Body Technique, and you help me protect the law..."
"Wait a minute..."
As soon as Ouyang Feng opened his mouth, Xiaoqing activated her martial arts - as a monster, of course she was afraid of thunder, but since it was a physical training method she practiced and could control thunder by herself, with her temperament and courage, she could overcome the psychological barriers and even felt eager to try.
A monster that controls thunder is no ordinary monster!
Before Ouyang Feng finished speaking, a flash of lightning appeared on Xiaoqing's body, followed by a "swish" sound, and the green silk shirt disappeared into ashes, revealing her crystal white, flawless body with perfect curves.
