“Yeah, it’s still possible to transform.” Mingze nodded, then turned to Taotie, “Why don’t you talk?”
Eh? Now he can speak? Ji Jing looked at Taotie curiously.
“I don’t want to say it!” Mingze looked at Taotie, and reluctantly transformed into form.
Fu Xian’s vision blurred, and he saw that the original giant beast disappeared in an instant, and only a little boy in overalls and shorts was left pointing at Ming Ze and complaining: “You force the underage demons to work! I don’t want to talk to you!”
Even though the prototype is so fierce, Tao Tie’s voice is that of a young boy with a milky voice, which is really not threatening.
After Taotie transformed into form, Fu Xian immediately relaxed. It turned out that he was still a child! It’s a pity that Mingze quickly shattered his fantasy.
“Underage? You’re already seventy years old.” Mingze coldly exposed Taotie’s miserable behavior.
Seventy? ! Ji Jing raised her eyebrows, and Fu Xian’s eyes widened.
“So what! I am underage according to the monster’s chronology, even if I am 800 years old today, I am still underage!” Taotie protested with teeth and claws.
The maturity of monsters is not based on time, but on the state of growth. Therefore, monsters with good conditions and high talents may be dozens of years old, or even reach adulthood in their teens like humans, but some monsters will be much slower.
“Cough!” Ji Jing almost laughed out loud, trying to hold back, “But you ate other people’s food first, so you can’t afford compensation, so you can only work part-time.”
Of course the Taoist Association did not compensate Taotie for free.
“Hmph! I was injured, I was so hungry!” Taotie pouted, feeling aggrieved, “And how could Taotie have money? I used it to buy something to eat!”
Fu Xian couldn’t help laughing and said, “So that’s the case? I thought that the mythical beast in legends, Pixiu, was the poorest because it could only enter and exit. I didn’t expect Taotie to be like this.”
Ji Jing smiled: “I didn’t expect that either.” She spent all her money on food. It’s no wonder that she was so hungry that day and hid in other people’s homes to eat “waste products”.
“Pixiu is not poor, he just saved several gold and silver mountains and refused to use them.” Mingze smiled slightly, “Glutton… I used to think that its father had some money.”
After all, they are all big monsters who have lived for so long, so they must have some family background.
Mingze thought so at first. But I didn’t expect that when I asked about the compensation, the Taotie family was already so poor.
“Okay, this is the end of the matter, let’s get acquainted formally,” Ji Jing waved her hand, and let the little Taotie come forward, “This is your new employer, Fu Xian. He is a human being who can see ghosts. I bought a pagoda tree, and the pagoda tree has recently become a demon, so it can just be your company. Your duty is to take care of Fu Xian’s house and protect him. The Taoist
Association stipulates that the working period for this time is ten years.”
“Ten years? Ten! Years!” Taotie broke down and shouted, “What’s the difference between this and going to jail!”
“Who told you to mess up the adopter’s house before? The debt piles up, and no one can save you.” Ji Jing calmly exposed Taotie’s bad deeds, and the association recorded some of them.
She threatened faintly: “So, you should work hard to pay off your debts, so that you can be freed as soon as possible. If you screw up again for the third time, and you don’t even need cash…the debts will be doubled!”
Is it so miserable? Fu Xian still didn’t know the tragic experience of the first two adopters, but he just looked at the little boy who was no higher than his waist, and felt a little pity in his heart.
The monster’s debt is really hard to repay!
“Pa-ta!” Threatened by Ji Jing’s words, Taotie rushed over and hugged Fu Xian’s thigh.
He raised his head and blinked his big eyes, “Hello, Fu Xian, my dear employer!
Starting today, the gluttonous bodyguards will serve you wholeheartedly.” This guy’s awakening came really fast.
Well, if you pretend for a long time, maybe it will come true. Ji Jing silently hoped that Fu Xian would find out the truth later.
Taotie pretended to be a little boy and went home after paying the cash. Ji Jing also completed the commission, and the new salary was credited into the account smoothly.
I was also very lucky to meet Mingze, and I was able to go back on the way of the demon again!
It’s just that Ji’s house seems to be very lively tonight. Just as Ji Jing approached the gate, she heard their arguing.
“No, she can’t go to the same high school as Yaoyao!” said a familiar and annoying voice..
