"These bags of dried fish do look good, but they are not as good as you said, fellow Taoist." After hearing this, the red-crowned crane said.
As a red-crowned crane, he didn't know how many fish he had eaten. He admitted that these fish might have been good fish when they were alive, but they had become dried fish and he couldn't tell how good they were.
"That's because you don't know how to taste dried fish, but I am very good at tasting dried fish." Hearing this, Ling Chong shook his big head and said, "Each dried fish has different degrees of softness and hardness, which will affect the final result of the dried fish. of the finished product.”
"Delicious dried fish should be very crispy when you take the first bite, then it is qualified dried fish."
"When your tongue licks the dried fish, the unique fragrance and wonderful taste of the dried fish will definitely come to you immediately."
"In addition, the time for drying and shipping good dried fish should not be too long. Otherwise, if the dried fish is stored in a dark and humid warehouse, the delicious taste will be lost, and only a smell of mold will be left. Tasty."
"Well, fellow Taoist, your research on dried small fish is really deep." The red-crowned crane couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing this.
It was unimaginable that the big snow leopard in front of him could not only know how to eat but also know how to eat. He had underestimated him.
"Of course, I am a smart snow leopard. Sometimes I also study how to dry small fish, but because I am too busy at work, I don't even have time to catch fish." Ling Chong said, with a full face. It's a pity look.
Rather than eating dried fish, he wanted to make dried fish himself. The dried fish produced in this way not only had the best taste, but was also very delicious.
"I wonder what you are usually busy with at work?" Hearing this, the red-crowned crane asked curiously.
I keep hearing that the other person is working, but I don’t know what the other person does every day?
Obviously the other party has such a powerful sister, so she is not the one who needs to do things.
"I am mainly responsible for leading the team members to deal with ghosts. When I have nothing to do, I usually stay in the department and wait until something happens before I go out."
"Besides, there are very few holidays in normal times, and my minister is unwilling to give me a holiday. If the young lady hadn't asked me to come over this time, I would still be working in the department." Ling Chong said with a frown.
"That is indeed very hard work. Isn't it something you haven't thought about doing, fellow Taoist?" the red-crowned crane asked after hearing this.
It turns out that the other party is working under human hands, which is indeed very tiring, but since the other party has such a powerful sister, it should be easy for him to do other work.
"No, I'm still young and don't want to run around. And the department pays very well."
"I have to work to support myself and subsidize the Lingchuan Snow Leopard Rescue, Breeding and Conservation Center." Ling Chong shook his big head after hearing this.
If he stops working, he will really have to rely on his little sister to support him.
Although this is still the case now, at least he can have lunch in the department.
"Excuse me, where is the Lingchuan Snow Leopard Rescue, Breeding and Conservation Center?"
The red-crowned crane asked with some confusion. He had just been listening to the other party saying that he originally thought that this place belonged to the other party's family, but now it seems that it is not the case.
After all, what money does a snow leopard need to live on the snowy mountains?
"That's a good place built by humans for us snow leopards. We are protected by humans there. There are many breeders there, and the ladies will take care of us and give us meat to eat." Lingchuan Snow Leopard Rescue came to mind. Life at the Breeding and Conservation Center, he said happily.
"Does that mean that you, fellow Taoist, were born under the protection of humans?" The red-crowned crane said in disbelief when he heard this. It is unimaginable that humans can actually cultivate such powerful monsters.
Could it be that the current strength of human beings has reached such a terrifying level?
"Yes." Ling Chong nodded his big head and said, "Red-crowned Crane, you should also visit human cities when you have time. They are very gentle and kind."
"They won't hurt us, and they will give us dried fish to eat."
"Let's talk about this later, fellow Taoist." Hearing this, the red-crowned crane said awkwardly.
Decades ago, he was almost captured and eaten by humans. Now that he has finally gained a level of cultivation, how could he dare to step out into dangerous places again?
"Okay, if you have figured it out? Remember to tell me." Ling Chong said.
He is still looking forward to recruiting the red-crowned crane into the department. What if the red-crowned crane can help him?
Then he will definitely be able to fish in the department again.
"Okay, okay." The red-crowned crane nodded his head and said perfunctorily, then he found that the carriage suddenly stopped and the curtain of the carriage was opened.
"Your Highness, we have arrived at the Imperial Palace."
The driver said respectfully.
"Really? Then I'll get off now." Ling Chong said happily after hearing this, and got off the carriage with dried fish and dried chicken by his tail.
"Fellow Taoist, please wait for me..." Lin He saw him and quickly followed him. If he didn't follow him, he would be unable to move anywhere.
"Your Highness, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
"Your Highness, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
Zero rushed out of the carriage, and the soldiers in bronze armor immediately took one knee and shouted in unison.
"Stop shouting, stop shouting."
"Everyone, get up. How many times have I told you not to shout."
When Ling Chong, who was carrying the gift, heard this, he was frightened and took off on the spot.
"Thank you, Your Highness." After hearing this, the soldiers stood up immediately.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been waiting in the palace for a long time."
"Your Highness, please come in quickly." The general in stone armor with a corpse sword at his waist said.
"Okay, okay, I understand."
After hearing this, Ling Chong nodded his head, leaned close to the other party and whispered: "Can we discuss something? Can you control your men and ask them not to shout? I am scared by them every time. A big jump.”
"This star really wants to retire"
"I can't do this. I'm just following His Majesty's orders." General Shijia said helplessly after hearing this.
"Then can you ask them to keep their voices down?" Ling Chong said the next best thing after hearing this.
"Of course there is no problem, this can still be done." General Shijia nodded after hearing this.
"That's good, that's good." Ling Chong said with a smile, sliding a piece of dried chicken on a rope from his tail and giving it to General Shi Jia: "This is a thank you gift for your help. Please ask them to keep their voices down next time. ."
"Okay, okay, thank you for the dried meat, Your Highness." General Shi Jia took the chicken jerky and was stunned for a few seconds before replying.
This was the first time in his life that he received such a gift of thanks, but he felt relieved when he thought about the identity of His Highness in front of him.
What goodies can you expect from a snow leopard? These dried fish and meat are the most important things for snow leopards.
The fact that he was able to produce these two things proved that he really came with his heart in mind.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Ling Chong waved his paw and said to the red-crowned crane: "Red-crowned crane, let's go in quickly, my little sister is inside."
"I...I can't walk."
The red-crowned crane, who was stared at by the bronze soldiers, said with a wry smile. His legs were now weak and his whole body was shaking. I can't walk on the road at all.
"No, I just saw that you were very energetic, weren't you? Why can't you walk again? It's true." After hearing this, Ling Chong said helplessly, grabbed the red-crowned crane's neck with his tail and walked up the steps.
"General, don't you need to stop that crane demon?" The soldier on the side saw it and asked in a low voice.
How dare such a little demon be led by His Highness himself? Moreover, he also entered the imperial palace like this.
"No, His Majesty has said that anyone or anything brought by His Highness will be allowed, no matter what they are." General Shi Jia said, looking at Ling Chong who was climbing up the steps, he couldn't help but smile.
"Sister, are you here? I brought gifts to see you. There are delicious dried fish and fragrant chicken jerky." He jumped up and climbed up to Lingchong, which he had been to countless times in his dream, and pulled it before he entered the door. The voice shouted.
"Kitten, did you miss something? You obviously brought a fat bird to your sister, but you forgot to report it." The voice of the deceased lady came from the door of the hall.
"The red-crowned crane is my friend, not a gift for you, little sister. Little sister, please don't hurt him." Upon hearing this, Ling Chong quickly explained.
Red-crowned cranes are not for food, ladies, don’t get me wrong.
"Really? My sister thought that the little stupid cat was smart. She knew that she wanted to eat roasted birds recently. It turns out she didn't know." The voice of the deceased lady sighing came from behind the hall.
"It's okay, little sister, I brought delicious chicken jerky to see your little sister. It's the same thing if you grill her with chicken jerky. The chicken jerky I brought is much more delicious than the roasted bird." Ling Chong pawed his hand. He opened the door and said.
"Really? Then sister is going to have a good taste." The deceased lady said with a smile, grabbing Zero's big round head that rushed in.
"Little sister, why are you arresting me when you have nothing to do?" Ling Chong, who was caught, said, "I still want to come in."
"Of course I know you are coming in, but I can't wait to touch the little stupid cat." The deceased lady smiled, and Ling Chong found that his body was floating uncontrollably.
"Miss, can we discuss something?" Ling Chong, who was floating in the air, asked.
"Of course there is no problem. You are the little stupid cat that my sister loves the most. Tell me what you want to discuss with your sister?" the deceased lady asked with a smile, pulling Ling Chong towards the seat.
"I don't like the title Your Highness, and I don't want anyone to kneel down to me. Sister, can you ask them to change the title. Is it okay if they don't kneel down when they see me?"
Ling Chong said, his whole body had already fallen to the ground.
"Snapped"
At the same time, there was a red-crowned crane that fell to the ground like a dead bird. At this time, he felt a lot of pain in his heart, but he couldn't express it.
As soon as he went up the stairs, his whole body went numb, his five senses were blocked, and he felt as if he was carrying a huge mountain on his back.
But this is not what scares him the most. What scares him most is that his soul is now muddy, as if it may disperse at any time.
He really wanted the big snow leopard carrying him to put him down and stay away from this place.
But now he can't even move his feathers.
"Don't you like this title? It really gives me a headache, so what kind of title do you like? Can you tell me about it?" After hearing this, the deceased lady pinched Ling Chong's little ear and asked, as if It's like rubbing some rare treasure.
"I hope they call me the Leopard King." After hearing this, Ling Chong replied without thinking: "Just call me twice more every time you see me. There is no need to kneel down."
"Leopard King?" The deceased lady pinched Ling Chong's little ears and said, "How about calling me Leopard King? Leopard King doesn't sound very nice."
"But I just like people to call me king." Ling Chong raised his head and said.
How can Leopard King be as good as Leopard King? This is the wrong thing to say, young lady.
"Okay, okay, you can become the Leopard King first. When you grow up, you can become the Leopard Emperor of the Nine Netherworld Mansion." The deceased lady said dotingly.
"What is that?" Ling Chong was stunned when he heard this.
"That's a good position. Now that ghosts are causing chaos in the world, it's all because there's a lack of a great emperor in charge of reincarnation and keeping ghosts in check."
"When our little stupid cat grows up, we will become the Emperor of Hades. There won't be so many things in the world."
The deceased lady smiled and said, "Our little stupid cat doesn't want to be the emperor?"
"No, I want to be the Leopard King." Ling Chong said, shaking his big head.
What Leopard Emperor? It sounded like a very troublesome position. He was just a little snow leopard who always wanted to eat, drink, sit and wait to die, so he didn't want to do that kind of troublesome thing.
"Okay, you can be the leopard king first." Miss Sister of the Dead covered her mouth and chuckled, pointed at the red-crowned crane that Ling Chong was holding by the tail and said: "If you don't let go of this little guy, sister will do it later. It’s really time to roast the bird in the pot.”
"Ah? Red-crowned crane, are you okay? Wake up quickly, you are worth 40 packs of small fish." Hearing this, he turned his head and saw the red-crowned crane with foam at his mouth. He shook his head quickly and said.
His 40 packs of small fish are dry, don't let them disappear like this.
"Little stupid cat, if you keep shaking it like this, he might really be dead. Let me have someone take him down and have a good rest. He should be fine. What do you think?" Ms. Dead? He asked while holding his chin.
"That's troublesome, young lady. You must keep him alive. He's worth 40 packs of small fish." After hearing this, Ling Chong immediately nodded his big head and said.
"Okay, okay." The deceased lady said with a smile, and then a palace maid wearing a red palace dress with two red blushes on her face came in and carried the red-crowned crane away on a wooden board.
After Ling Chong saw it, he breathed a sigh of relief and put the dried fish and chicken on the table nearby: "Miss, this is the best dried fish I carefully selected for you, and this one is Chicken jerky made by the breeder lady herself.”
"These are very delicious foods. Miss, you must try them."
As he spoke, Ling Chong's tears of dissatisfaction flowed from the corners of his mouth.
"Sister, I can tell it's delicious." The deceased lady said with a smile when she saw it, and touched Ling Chong's big head: "Sister's little stupid cat seems to be really thoughtful this time, come and lie down on my sister's legs Come up here, sister, help you comb your hair."
"Look at your little stupid cat, how dirty and messy its hair is?"
"Oh, little sister, remember to help me tidy up a little more beautifully." After hearing this, Ling Chong said with saliva from the corner of his mouth.
"Don't worry, sister will help you comb it properly." The deceased lady smiled and rubbed Ling Chong's big belly with her slender jade fingers.
