Bab 11: Useless skills

Mo Qiang was really disappointed on the other hand, Little Jiao had her fingers in her ears with her eyes closed as she ignored the cries of the woman who was blaming her.

" This was the only body available at that moment, there was nothing I could do," Little Jiao who was sitting on top of the cabinet turned and looked at Mo Qiang with a sullen look on her face as she narrowed her eyes and said, " And why are you crying so much? This body type is rather famous among the women of your world right?"

" But…But I am more into shy and innocent type," Mo Qiang complained as she looked down at her rather voluptuous figure. " You have no idea but it's really hard for women like me, do you even know how heavy these are on our waists? I wanted to be a slim one in my next time life."

To think she will have to withstand the same pain ricocheting in her lower body all over again. Mo Qiang was not looking forward to that at all.

" Wouldn't it be easier for you to reel in mer with this body?"Little Jiao questioned and that only made Mo Qiang narrow her eyes and glare at the annoying little thing. " Are you being serious? Do you not see what kind of this woman was? It will be a surprise if I can even seduce an idiot with this woman's personality!" Her exclamation made Little Jiao nod her furry head as her head as she said,

" You are right about that, you are so unwanted that even if you take your clothes off no one would want you."

"Let's make sure that we don't have to fall to that point," muttered Mo Qiang as she pushed herself off the floor on which she was sitting down and then started to take the obnoxious portraits of the young mer with whom this woman was once obsessed with since she was not here to think about romance, she might as well take these things down.

" Oh, are you taking them down?" Little Jiao spread her wings and then flew down the cabinet as she sat down on Mo Qiang's head and then said, " Do you really have to? He looks rather fine."

" I will start having nightmares if I continue looking at his face day and night," Mo Qiang remarked as she tore another portrait down and then threw it in the trash can. Since this body was hers now, then she was going to live this life according to her wishes.

It took a long time to take down the portraits before Mo Qiang could sit down and talk properly with Little Jiao, with her legs crossed Mo Qiang looked at the floating blue screen that only she could see and then stared at the number of skills that she had at the moment.

[ Green fingers—— can grow any crop.

Current level 1, fulfil the first mission for advancing to the next level.]

[ Summoning spirits—— raise the favourability of Mo Xifeng by eight points.

Required fp for summoning = 10

Current fp= 2 .]

[ Poetry formations.]

[ Love ballad singing ]

Mo Qiang's brows twitched as she looked at the last two skills and then turned to look at Little Jiao and asked, " What is this?"

" We fairies of nature like to hear songs and poems," replied the little squirrel as she sat in Mo Qiang's lap. " This will help you in the progression of your mission. You might not believe it but there was once a princess who had an entire forest on the tips of her fingers just because she could sing in a beautiful voice."

Mo Qiang had no interest in singing love ballads for animals and crops like some princess which was why she skipped reading the entire thing and then dropped her gaze to the mission that was in front of her.

[ Mission first plant at least fifty maple trees and oak trees—— raise the level of oxygen.]

"Are you kidding me? You want me to plant fifty maple trees and oak trees, that's like hundred trees! How long do you think it's going to take and that too without any fertile soil or tools?" Mo Qiang looked at the tiny spirit that was sitting on her lap, this thing was seriously dreaming if she thought that she could fulfil this mission.

Her feet will be dangling in the grave by the time she will be done with this mission!

" You will be fine, there is no time limit you can take your precious time and did you forget? You have your green fingers with you, as long as you irrigate a land with your hands and sow the seeds after washing it with water that is touched by your fingers, you will be fine. The only downside is that you will have to advance to the next level and raise your current level of the green fingers to plant more complicated trees."

" And where do you think I will find the seeds of these trees? Maybe you missed the memo my dear fairy, this place is completely infertile and there is no sunlight, I bet there is not even clean water." Mo Qiang spat through gritted teeth.

" You do not need to worry about that with my powers there is no need for sunlight… and you can purify a limited amount of water as well… as for the seeds … I am sure you will think of something." Little Jiao tried to scramble off Mo Qiang's lap after speaking but the latter was quicker than she was, Mo Qiang stretched her hand and then clenched her fingers around the small squirrel before grinding out,

" Listen here you little sh*t," she sneered down at the small squirrel. " If you think I am going to work like your slave then you are very wrong, I want something in return as well. You cannot just dump a task of making an omelette on my head without a chicken in sight and then scamper away."

Bab 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."
