Chapitre 12: Useless skills

Little Jiao knew that there was no way she would be able to get away from Mo Qiang this time, she sighed and turned to look at Mo Qiang before saying, " You are here because need to finish your punishment, what kind of person demands something in exchange when they are serving a sentence —— eek."

The little squirrel let out a screech when it was squeezed by Mo Qiang who was holding it a bit too tightly, almost squeezing the life out of her poor body. Mo Qiang brought little Jiao at eye level with her and then said in a cold voice, " Even prisoners are paid when they do something extra inside a prison except serving their sentence, I am here because I am serving my sentence but if you want me to work then you will have to pay me. Or we are going to have problems."

" Like what?" Little Jiao narrowed her eyes at Mo Qiang who sweetly smiled and said, "Like watching your sweet servants go on a strike and worrying about who are you going to choose next. You chose me because I was your best choice wasn't I?"

At her words, Little Jiao stubbornly looked at her and then stated with a firm voice, " You can always be exchanged human, do not think that you are irreplaceable."

" By whom?" Mo Qiang continued to smile as she patted the little thing in her hands. " Do you really think there is any good woman out there who will be as smart as me yet take orders from a small little squirrel? I bet you picked me up because you saw that I was the only one who was the most flexible one which is why we are here, right?"

" I will send you to swamp!"

" I bet twenty dollars that you won't !" Seriously speaking Mo Qiang was betting here, she was testing little Jiao ever since she woke up in this world because she wanted to see whether or not this little fairy will send her to hell with her boss which was the last thing she wanted but the thing has been nothing but haughty with her.

She would retaliate sometimes but other than that, this little fairy never once tried to exterminate her by blasting her soul into smithereens.

Which was why she was trying to make a small bet and in case she fails then she had no shame whatsoever anyway —— she had once grovelled in front of her boss, and she will do the same if the little fairy was to get angry at her.

Mo Qiang waited and waited, there came a time when the little fairy turned almost turned red with anger which she was trying to suppress with everything that she had and Mo Qiang almost got on her knees to beg in front of her but then ——

" Fine, what do you want?" She heard the little fairy say as she looked at her with those adorable black grape-like eyes that were blinking at her with a shine that almost made Mo Qiang squeal.

But she suppressed herself knowing that she should not push her luck too much which was why she cleared her throat and then turned to look at Little Jiao before she raised her fingers and said, " I want half share in everything that I do, like if I raise fifty trees then I want twenty-five of them to be used for my own use."

" I knew it," Little Jiao flew up in rage as she stretched out her furry paw and poked Mo Qiang on the cheek as she snapped at the latter, " I knew that you were trying to take advantage of me…how dare you, you measly human——"

" Look I get it that you are angry but did you not say that you wanted to create a world where humans will start relying on nature again and you will get more believers who will try to revive nature? Let's say if I simply grow things just for the heck of it and not use it then do you think, that people will start relying on nature?" Mo Qiang patiently put forward her case as she looked at the small yet angry squirrel.

" For that to happen, you will have to give some sort of bait to them —— like giving some extremely good discounts to lure in more and more customers?"

Her words caused Little Jiao to purse her lips as she started to think carefully but then she nodded and said, " All right but only fifty per cent and you will have to create a huge shrine for the goddess of nature … as you get bigger make sure to build a temple as well."

" Of course, I will even build a castle for her if that is what you want, my dear gulli- I mean fairy," said Mo Qiang as she inwardly fist pumped while Little Jiao who was tricked into handing fifty per cent of everything was feeling rather confused thinking that she was cheated.

But then she shook her head and thought, ' There is no way a human who only lived for thirty or so years can cheat me.'

What little Jiao forgot was that she was the one who said that she was only bringing Mo Qiang back to life to revive nature without giving anything in return. But now she was offering Mo Qiang half of everything that will be grown by the two of them.

" Anyway," Little Jiao stopped using her head too much and raised her head to look at Mo Qiang before she asked in an inquisitive voice, " What are you going to do about the seeds? Like you said that there are no seeds here."

" So you do know that it is more or less of an impossible task?" Mo Qiang sneered before she placed her fingers on her chin and sighed while looking at the rusty room where she was living and said, " But for the sake of a comfortable living place, I will have to try my best."
