âLittle Second, where did you go? You actually went for so long!â Feng Lingâer questioned with great dissatisfaction.
âI went to get water!â The Second Elder wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He was already very fast! This bird was actually still not satisfied! Boohooâ¦
âIt takes so long to get water. Did you go to the well?â Feng Lingâer said mockingly.
âNo, no. Itâs 15th Elderâs water that was boiling too slowly. He couldnât light the fire in the kitchen for a long time!â The Second Elder explained as he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. The people in the kitchen waiting to draw water were almost lining up outside the inn.
âUh! Why is that old man so useless! Doesnât he know how to use fire-attribute mystic energy?â Feng Lingâer seriously doubted the intelligence of these Lan family elders.
âNone of us elders are of the fire attribute. Moreover, the shopkeeper doesnât allow us to use mystic power!â Second Elder explained sadly. Boohoo⦠How did these usually high and mighty elders end up like this today! He couldnât understand even if he racked his brains!
âOh! Seems like you really need to train properly. You donât have any common sense at all. How useless!â Feng Lingâer said with contempt!
âHaha, little Second, quickly help your master wash her claws! Iâll go to the kitchen to watch the commotion!â Old Man Zao ordered before pulling Lin Liang along to watch the commotion!
âMiss Feng, please extend your claws!â The Second Elder came to Feng Lingâer with the basin in his hand sadly.
âWash properly and cleanly!â Feng Lingâer sat down on the table and stretched out her two little claws in front of the Second Elder as she ordered.
âUh, okay.â The Second Elder carefully held Feng Lingâerâs claws, which were thinner than his fingers, and carefully washed them. Boohoo⦠In fact, he was very afraid of this violent bird, so he was especially careful when he washed it because he was afraid that Feng Lingâer would set him on fire again if she was displeasedâ¦
âWash here, and here⦠hereâ¦â Feng Lingâer kept instructing the Second Elder, as if she was dissatisfied with his service!
âMiss Feng, is this alright?â The Second Elder was so tired that he was about to collapse. He had never known that serving a little bird and washing its claws was so tiring. Boohoo⦠He had to help massage its feet later! At the thought of this, he even wanted to bang his head against the wallâ¦
âJust barely!â Feng Lingâer said with dissatisfaction.
âUh! What should we do next?â The Second Elder asked helplessly.
âA foot massage! Donât tell me you forgot it so quickly! What a lousy memory!â Feng Lingâer mocked with dissatisfaction.
âBut⦠I donât know how!â The Second Elder deliberately acted as if he was in a difficult situation, hoping to escape this calamity.
âYou donât know how? Then Iâll teach youâ¦â Feng Lingâer smiled evilly and spat out a ball of flame. She threw it up and down with a small wing as if it was her toy. She did not throw this ball of flame at the Second Elder but it created a huge burden and fear in his heart.
âErmâ¦â The Second Elder stammered, scared speechless. Boohoo⦠This violent bird was really too evil. It knew that he was afraid of fire, but it still scared him like thisâ¦
âHow is it? Little Second, do you know how to do it now?â Feng Lingâer said with a spurious smile. The expression on her face seemed to be saying, âDo you still need me to teach you?â
âYes, yes!â The Second Elder said fearfully. Boohoo⦠This bird was obviously not as strong as him, but why was he so afraid of it? He really couldnât understand no matter how hard he thought!
âThen letâs begin!â Feng Lingâer said indifferently as she played with the small flame.
âAlright!â The Second Elder suppressed his fear and held Feng Lingâerâs little claws in his trembling hand. He massaged it while staring at the ball of flames, afraid that the ball of fire would run to him if Feng Lingâer missed!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âLittle Second, youâre not concentrating!â Feng Lingâer narrowed her eyes with some dissatisfaction.
âUh! Concentrating. Iâm very focused!â The Second Elder hurriedly said. Boohoo⦠How could he be blamed! Who could be so focused if they were threatened like this!
âLittle Second, Iâll say it one last time. If you continue to be so absent-minded, Iâll turn you into a grilled pig!â Feng Lingâer threatened bluntly.
âIâm very focused.â The Second Elder was so scared that cold sweat was flowing down his face, and he hurriedly promised. Moreover, he didnât even dare to raise his head after being threatened by Feng Lingâer. Now, his eyes were now solely on that pair of extremely small claws!
âOh, gently. Do you want to break my claws?â Feng Lingâer frowned with some displeasure.
âAh! Iâm sorry. I didnât do it on purpose,â Second Elder said aggrievedly. He didnât use much strength at all! Boohooâ¦
The Second Elder was massaging the soles of a little bird very sadly. The others were not doing much better either. They were also tormented badly!
In the kitchen.
Old Man Zao gloated as he looked at the disheveled 15th Elder and laughed happily, agitating him non-stop. âFifteen! Why are you so useless! You can even burn down half the kitchen by starting a fire. Alas! You have to pay a lot of money now, right?â
âAhem ahem!â The Fifteenth Elder was already choked by the smoke and couldnât speak. He could only cough to express his dissatisfaction!
âFifteen, you have to move faster. There are so many people outside waiting to use water! Moreover, itâs going to be lunch later. You canât move at this speed!â Old Man Zao said worriedly. There were more than a dozen stoves in the kitchen of the inn, but only two of them really lit the fire. Half of the remaining dozen were burned by the Fifteenth Elder. As for the other half! They were also wet when they put out the fire just now, so they probably couldnât light the fire anymoreâ¦
âAhem!â The 15th Elder kept coughing, anxious and angry, but he couldnât say anything!
âLittle Hong! Why donât you call another elder over! Fifteenth canât handle it!â Old Man Zao turned to the Third Elder beside him.
âIâll try!â The Third Elder frowned and said with some difficulty. All the waiters in the inn were on leave today, and these elders were too slow, so work was impossible to handle. Alas! He really didnât expect the elders of the Lan family to be so useless. It seemed like there was no need to count on the innâs business for the next few days!
