Chapter 38
The wind god Falcon reached out its claws and pulled at the unconscious Liang Shixian.
“When is this guy going to wake up?”
“This… It’ll probably take some time.”
Ji Ruo was not sure.
The wind god Falcon raised its right wing and stroked its handsome head as it cried out in a crisp voice, “I saw it before. This guy only fainted after he noticed me… Human, do you think I’m ugly?”
“No, no! Auntie, how can you be ugly?” Ji Ruo shook his head and gave her a thumbs up. “My companion fainted because your appearance was too perfect. He felt ashamed of his own inferiority and could not bear the pressure in his heart. He fainted because he was ashamed, and not from fear.”
[Diplomatic Spokesperson] in effect. A 20% increase in speech appeal.
The wind god Falcon was stunned for a moment. “Is that so? Then, why didn’t you faint?”
“Ah, this…”
Ji Ruo realized that he had dug a hole for himself, but he reacted quickly and answered, “Auntie, I’m different from him. When I see beautiful things, I can’t help but take a few more glances. At that time, I was so ashamed that I wanted to faint, but when I thought of how I might not be able to see your perfect face again after fainting, I couldn’t bear to faint…”
[Diplomatic Spokesperson] in effect.
[Immersion] is in effect.
“Hehe. You really know how to talk.”
Apparently, the wind god Falcon was very satisfied with Ji Ruo’s words. It flapped its wings and said, “Then, our deal is sealed. Don’t worry. I won’t be as stingy as those guys on the top of the mountain. You can eat whatever you want in my nest as long as you can make delicious food for us after my child is born.”
“Wow! Food and accommodation are included,” he mused.
Ji Ruo glanced at the mountain of high-level demonic beasts and spirit herbs that he did not know the name of. He was so excited that he almost jumped.
“I’m rich!” he exclaimed inwardly.
However, what confused Ji Ruo was that this was the third time the wind god Falcon had mentioned the word ‘deal.’
“Also, the mountain peak… Was there a human working with the demon on the mountain? There shouldn’t, should it?” he thought.
Although Ji Ruo had just arrived in this world less than three months ago, he knew that the humans in this world had a strong sense of collective honor.
They should not be able to do things such as cooperate with demons and devils.
Moreover, Ji Ruo vaguely remembered that the wind god Falcon had mentioned something like ‘humans provide food, and they allow humans to live in their nest’ for the content of the cooperation.
“What’s the meaning of this?” he wondered
Ji Ruo was confused and wanted to ask.
All of a sudden, Luo Qian’s small head poked out from Ji Ruo’s dirty school uniform and said with tears in her eyes, “Master, are we going to die? When am I dying? I’m so scared…”
This little guy was terrified of the demonic aura of the wind god Falcon, so it activated its innate ability and used an illusion to hide in Ji Ruo’s arms. It had been trembling until now.
From the looks of it, it seemed like he could not bear the fear and came out to ask about her ‘date of death.’
Ji Ruo patted little Luo Qian’s head and comforted her, “Don’t worry, we don’t have to die this time. Aunty wind god Falcon is a very good demon. ”
“Wind god Falcon?” Auntie wind god Falcon raised an eyebrow. “That’s the name of our species. All wind god Falcons are called wind god Falcons. There’s nothing special about them. I don’t like that name. You’re not allowed to call me that in the future!”
“… All right then. Then, what should I call you in the future?” Ji Ruo inquired.
“I haven’t thought about it yet. I’ll tell you when I think about it. I want to give myself a nice name.”
“Okay.” Ji Ruo smacked his lips.
[Immersion] was a continuous status skill. At this stage, it could give Ji Ruo a 50% identity bonus.
The wind god Falcon would not kill him for the time being. It did not have any killing intent, and because of what had happened earlier, it had developed a good impression of him. (a non-romantic type of impression) Therefore, the [immersion] continued to take effect, and under the premise that his identity was ‘reasonable’, the wind god Falcon started to accept Ji Ruo.
The wind god Falcon suddenly moved closer and stared at little Luo Qian in Ji Ruo’s arms with its sharp eyes.
“You still have a cat.”
Perhaps Luo Qian was too weak, the wind god Falcon didn’t pay much attention to her, plus the effect of Ji Ruo’s [immersion], and Luo Qian’s own talent in illusion. The wind god Falcon had not even noticed this little fellow before.
A-aunty, this is my pet. It’s not a bad cat…” Ji Ruo murmured.
“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to her. She’s skinny and dark. I can tell she doesn’t taste good.” As the wind god Falcon spoke, it was slightly surprised.
“What kind of cat was this pitifully weak little fellow? It could actually avoid her perception?” she wondered.
The wind god Falcon almost suspected that this cat was the one that the guys at the top of the mountain were looking for.
However, this cat was obviously much weaker. There was a sheer difference in comparison to the powerful cat demon that was at the top of the mountain.
Furthermore, this was a black cat.
The wind god Falcon wanted to say something, but she decided against it after some thought.
“It’s the group of people at the top of the mountain who had a grudge against the cat. What did it have to do with me? My baby is about to be born,” she thought.
Ji Ruo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. He was worried that wind god Falcon might use Luo Qian as a sacrifice.
After all, it was his pet. “How can it be eaten by other demons after I have adopted it for less than a day? Won’t I be a bad pet owner then?” he mused inwardly.
However, while Ji Ruo thought this way, Luo Qian was a little unhappy hearing that comment.
It was unknown if she had borrowed the courage from Sister Liang, but she actually waved her short cat claws at the wind god Falcon and said, “Who are you looking down on? You’re not delicious! I’m really delicious!”
Ji Ruo was shocked and quickly pressed the cat’s head into his arms. He laughed. “Auntie… children’s words carry no harm…”
The wind god Falcon was stunned for a moment, then she suddenly chuckled. “You’re an interesting human. You can actually communicate with two different creatures at the same time.”
In the conversation just now, Ji Ruo spoke in human language, the wind god Falcon was an eagle cry, and Luo Qian was a cat cry.
However, Ji Ruo could understand and communicate with them without any difficulty. It was so strange.
“Hehe.”
Ji Ruo chuckled and changed the topic, “By the way, Auntie, when will your child be born? So, I can prepare food in advance.”
Hearing this, the wind god Falcon flapped its wings and two small green tornadoes visible to the naked eye were sent out.
Then, the green tornadoes shrunk and solidified, turning into two watermelon-sized eggs with green air flowing on the surface of their bodies.
The wind god Falcon looked at its two children with a gentle gaze and said softly, “There are still five…”
Ji Ruo let out a sigh of relief.
Five days later, he would return to Bactria. In these five days, the wind god Falcon would need Ji Ruo and Liang Shixian’s help to make delicious food, so he would be safe before he returned.
“… Four, three, two, one. ”
Crack!
The two giant eggs gave out a clear cracking sound at the same time, and the tender cry of an eagle suddenly sounded.
Ji Ruo was confused.
“The time they took to break out of the shell was accurate to the second?” he mused.
