Awoo!
The snow wolf howled once as if indicating to Feng Ruqing that it knew what to do.
“Shut up!” Feng Ruqing scanned the place. “I’ll definitely stop feeding you the Divine-Spirit Fruit for three days if your roar scares away the other spirit beasts.”
The snow wolf quickly kept its mouth shut. ‘There’s nothing more important than the Divine-Spirit Fruit.’
In fact, a spirit beast came down from the sky just as the two spirit beasts hid their presence.
This time around, it was an eagle. It was a Tier-2 spirit beast like the leopard. Its sharp claws were like long swords, and they came at Feng Ruqing swiftly.
The snow wolf and the leopard jumped out when the eagle was near Feng Ruqing. They jumped forward and bit the eagle’s claws.
‘It hurts! It hurts!’
The eagle almost burst into tears. It swung its claws vigorously to escape from the leopard and the snow wolf but in vain. It then circled around in the sky anxiously.
‘Who can explain to it why there were a leopard and a snow wolf when it just wanted a human as a snack?’
Feng Ruqing held out her hand to signal to the snow wolf and the leopard. The two spirit beasts understood and held on tightly to the eagle. The eagle was held still.
The eagle cried at last. It looked at the young girl who was walking toward it.
The smile on the girl’s face made the eagle shook with fear.
However, the girl stopped in front of the eagle, smiled and asked, “Do you want a job?”

The sunset came, and the afterglow of the sunlight gave a soft glow to the sky.
A young girl was sitting outside the Forest of Spirit Beasts. There were a lot of spirit beasts standing behind her.
The snow wolf, a leopard, an eagle, a red fox, a griffin, and a purple sable.
At that very moment, the ground shook vigorously. The young girl raised her eyes and saw an incoming bear. The bear was gigantic and was running toward the girl. The bear’s legs shook heavily—it might be because of its power and strength.
“A Tier-3 Earth Bear?”
Feng Ruqing’s eyes narrowed. ‘There’s even a Tier-3 spirit beast here? It’s really so easy to gain what I want.’
‘This Tier-3 earth bear must be the king of the spirit beasts in the outer region of the Forest of Spirit Beasts.’
‘Indeed, this is only the outer area. If we go into the middle area of the forest, this Earth Bear is not as worthy as it is here.’
The snow wolf and the leopard quickly rushed forward without waiting for Feng Ruqing’s order.
Feng Ruqing did not know what they told the Earth Bear because she did not know their language. But, she could guess its content easily.
‘Do you... want a job?’
After a short while, the strong and powerful earth bear restrained itself. It followed the snow wolf and came toward Feng Ruqing obediently.
“Sure enough, I just need to come to the Forest of Spirit Beasts on my own if I want the spirit beasts to work for me. That way, I can save a lot of money.”
Feng Ruqing was ecstatic. A Tier-3 spirit beast was so valuable that it could even act as an exceptional and precious treasure in the spirit beast court.
The snow wolf nudged Feng Ruqing’s leg with its head as if telling her not to forget about its value.
“Little Wolfie, I’ll not punish you anymore given that you’ve contributed a lot today.” Feng Ruqing smiled and patted the snow wolf on its head.
The snow wolf was stunned. What about its reward?
“But, if you sign a contract with me...” Feng Ruqing’s eyes narrowed. “I’ll feed you more Divine-Spirit Fruits every day.”
The snow wolf was so excited that it roared loudly.
‘Contract? Let’s sign the contract now! Quickly!’
Feng Ruqing’s smile deepened when she saw how happy the snow wolf was. “Let’s go now. I’ll give you some tasks to do after we go back.”
