However, tiny trash like this was scarce around here. How many of the people who come to the spirit beast mountain would be this weak?
He could only live his days in hiding, fearing that one day he would be caught by humans to become roast leopard meat.
“It’s okay.” Feng Ruqing had a smile on her face as she continued to get closer to the leopard. “You’ve found me.”
The leopard was stunned. When he lifted his head, he noticed that Feng Ruqing had gotten close to him. With caution in his eyes, he said fiercely, “Don’t come closer! If you do, I’ll swallow him.”
This time, Feng Ruqing stopped. She looked at the leopard and said, “If you wanted to eat him, you would have done so already. The way I see it, you must have a few of your kind left who are also starving, that’s why you didn’t eat him on the spot. You want to share him with your kind.”
The little fatty’s tears and snot covered his entire face. ‘I beg you, stop saying something so scary.’
Being swallowed alive by a leopard was already scary enough, but she said the leopard wanted to share him… Would he even make it out alive?
Feng Ruqing ignored the little fatty’s expression and continued, “But if you come with me, you won’t have to eat raw food or starve anymore. You guys will only have to take care of my garden.”
The leopard snorted. “No human is decent. I won’t believe you!”
“Oh.” Feng Ruqing pouted.
The spirit beast had a low IQ, so he was fixed on his thoughts. Saying any more to him was useless.
“Forget it then. I had wanted to heal your wounds, but since you’re unwilling, let’s go, Nan Xian. Forget him.”
Feng Ruqing never spared the leopard another glance as she turned to leave.
“Wait!” The leopard called out with his eyes shut tight.
Feng Ruqing paused. “Is there something else? I don’t like raw meat. You don’t have to share that fatty in your mouth with me.”
The leopard was speechless. ‘Who said I wanted to share the fatty with you?’
“You… Can you really heal my wounds?” The leopard paused before asking.
“Yeah. Recovery of strength will depend on yourself, but I can heal your wounds. At least it wouldn’t hurt anymore, but you don’t seem like you need it. Nan Xian, let’s go. He doesn’t need me.”
“Don’t…” The leopard became anxious. “If you can really heal my wounds, I can let this fatty go.”
Feng Ruqing raised an eyebrow and turned to look at the leopard. “This little fatty has nothing to do with me. I want to help you because I have a leopard at home too, no, I have a lot of leopards, and each of them is very helpful, so…”
“I’m helpful. I’m very helpful. I have a few other tribesmen too, and they’re all very helpful. But can you really heal my wounds?” The leopard still sounded suspicious.
He did not want to let go of his only chance, but he did not trust humans. He was afraid that this human would push him over the edge.
Feng Ruqing did not answer the leopard. Before everyone’s eyes, she took out some pots and pans. Under everyone’s scrutiny, she took out a stick to start a fire…
Feng Lianqing stared at Feng Ruqing with his mouth gaping, unable to understand what she was doing.
Time trickled away, and the sun set below the mountains. The sunset glow covered the skies as night began within the spirit beast mountain.
Soon, a strong fragrance wafted from the pot, making the leopard spit out the boy in his mouth to swallow his saliva. He stared fixedly at the pot in front of Feng Ruqing.
