Jellyfish
Chapter 7
Hua Ji felt depressed after being labeled as a good person by a chicken.
He silently ate the black pepper beef willow rice, and his mood was depressed to the extreme. The little rooster next to him didn't pay attention to Hua Ji's mood, and was still blabbering about the Divine Bodyguard Club's exam.
Yes, Little Rooster Ji Hong was also going to B City to take the Shenbo Club's exam. He wanted to pass the exam in one go and get his ID card, educational background, and other social connections.
Hua Ji said casually, "You don't have an ID card now?
How did you buy a train ticket? "
"A friend who came down the mountain two years before me."
Ji Hong said casually, "He heard that I was going down the mountain to take the exam, so he helped me get an ID card so that I could take the bus to B City."
He said happily, "Fortunately, he helped me. Otherwise, I would have to fly all the way there."
Hua Ji almost spat out his rice. Who said that roosters couldn't fly?
A rooster spirit could!
Little Rooster was still chatting with him about the exam.
"I don't know if the Shenbo Club's exam this year is difficult. I heard that it was especially difficult last year. They even added basic oral English. I don't plan to go abroad, so why would I take the English exam?"
Hua Ji knew a little about this.
It was popular to open up to the outside world these days. Not only did China have to open up, but the ghosts and gods of China also had to keep up with the times and integrate with the foreign forces. Other countries had priests, Jehovah, and vampires. Even if China's government wanted to ignore the spirits, they had to rely on the spirits' abilities in the face of foreign non-scientific creatures and abilities.
Taoism?
Oh, the disciples of Taoism were indeed good, but they had principles. Monks didn't kill. If they encountered some gray problems, the government had to find the spirits to help.
Therefore, a serious problem was born. The spirits didn't understand bird language, so how could they integrate with the international community?
Didn't understand?
Then they wouldn't give out ID cards!
They had to take the exam!
After listening to Hua Ji's explanation, Little Rooster sighed. "It's hard to be a human these days, but it's even harder to be a spirit!"
Hua Ji's heart was filled with sorrow.
Little Rooster looked at Hua Ji. "Are you taking the exam too?"
Hua Ji shook his head. "I'm not going. A senior is going."
He pointed at his head, and the Jellyfish slowly extended a tentacle. The long and curly tentacle turned from transparent to milky white.
He waved his tentacles at the rooster in greeting.
"Hello, I'm Shui Mu."
Hua Ji added, "Jellyfish in the sea."
"Jellyfish?" The little rooster was surprised, "What is that?"
Forgive the cute little rooster for his ignorance. As a chicken that lived in the mountains, he had never seen a mystical creature like the Jellyfish.
Hua Ji said in surprise, "Don't you know about Jellyfish?
This is common sense!! "
Little Rooster was scared to death. "Are you serious?
I've never seen him before!
What if this was tested during the exam?
I've memorized the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but there's no Jellyfish in it!! "
Hua Ji was speechless. "Compared to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, you might as well watch the BBC. You can practice your English listening."
Little Rooster asked, "What's the BBC?"
"It's a documentary about the world." Hua Ji recommended. "The content is good, and the English is very standard. You can watch it online."
Little Rooster wanted to cry. "But there's no internet in the mountains."
Hua Ji said tactfully, "Maybe you should go down the mountain and live there for two years. Don't you have a friend?
Oh, the one you mentioned just now? "
Ji Hong was depressed. "He's a duck spirit. We eat the same food. It's good enough that he doesn't chase me away."
Hua Ji was speechless.
"Also, it's very dangerous down the mountain."
Little Rooster counted with his fingers. "After I went down the mountain, I met all kinds of big monsters. They all have chicken on their menu. I can only take a detour and try to stay in places with more people. Tang Duck is the only monster that doesn't eat me …"
As long as he passed the Shenbo Club's exam, Ji Hong would be able to obtain a nameplate from the Shenbo Club. All the monsters in China couldn't attack registered monsters for no reason. It was even more so for Taoist disciples. Therefore, Little Rooster rushed to take the exam as soon as he went down the mountain. He had to pass the exam and obtain a nameplate.
Hua Ji shrugged. He couldn't do anything about it.
Little Rooster quickly took out the English book in his backpack and started reading.
Hua Ji closed his eyes to rest. Suddenly, he heard the voice of the Jellyfish in his mind.
"Is the Shenbo Club's exam very difficult?"
Hua Ji said in his mind, "I didn't pass it."
Yes, as a big fox that roamed the mainland before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Hua Ji's identity card was issued by the People's Republic of China. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, many identities were secretly created.
He explained briefly to the Jellyfish. The Jellyfish was shocked.
"If that's the case, why can't you see Little Rooster beside you?"
Yes, the Jellyfish realized that Hua Ji, this red fox, was very slow at times. He didn't look like a big fox that had roamed the world for two hundred years.
Hua Ji was silent for a long time. He raised his hand and touched his eyes. His expression was slightly twisted and ferocious.
He said, "It's because my eyes are blind."
When Hua Ji first gained sentience, it was the end of the Qing Dynasty. He was really naive at that time. He thought that there was delicious food at the foot of the mountain. In the end, he was beaten up by a little Taoist and his eyes were blinded by a peach wood sword.
He tried his best to escape. The hatred in his heart was higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea.
If he followed the normal routine, Hua Ji would have become a demon fox that hated the heartless killing of humans.
However, God cherished life. When Hua Ji was about to die, he was saved by a lady from an official's family. The lady brought Hua Ji home and took good care of Little Fox. Until the lady got married, the Little Fox was released into the forest by the lady's father because he was blind.
Foxes were originally extremely intelligent creatures. He had learned a lot of human rules in the official's house and had completely bid farewell to his naivety. Later on, he had cultivated in seclusion for a few years and cultivated a Daemon Core. His Daemon Power had been cleansed and his eyes had returned to the light.
"Even if I can see things, I still lost some basic abilities that belong to every demon race, such as the ability to see through other demons."
Hua Ji smiled softly. "Fortunately, I'm very smart, isn't it?
Those who deliberately get close to me need my help. Those who are weaker than me won't act rashly. Slowly, I feel that it's good that I can't see through them. "
Jellyfish stretched out his tentacles and gently brushed Hua Ji's eyes. After a while, he said, "It's okay to be blind, as long as your heart is clear."
After a pause, he said, "And before I eat the little bat, I'll keep an eye on it for you."
Hua Ji's heart warmed. He had to admit that although Jellyfish's strength was unfathomable, his temper was really great!
He smiled and said, "Now that you mention it, I don't want that damn bat demon to come to me."
Jellyfish said calmly, "That's okay. If you can provide something more delicious …"
Hua Ji was startled, he suddenly thought of something.
"Something more delicious?
Jellyfish, what do you eat? "
"Theoretically, I eat seawater, but it's not nutritious."
Jellyfish's tentacles subconsciously curled up and wriggled a few times, as if he was smacking his lips. "So I eat all liquids with power, understand?"
"I see. So you want to eat that vampire?
Because there's power in his blood? "Hua Ji suddenly understood." Then the blood of the demons in our country contains demon power … "
Jellyfish said, "Yes, for example, you smell good. You should taste good too."
Hua Ji trembled. He said dryly, "Jellyfish, I don't taste good at all!"
"Is that so?"
Jellyfish did not deny it. "I met many demons when I went out to sea this time, but they didn't smell as good as you."
He said regretfully, "If the bat demon didn't refuse to be my employer, I could have eaten you."
Hua Ji wanted to cry. Was he supposed to be grateful to that vampire?
He said pitifully, "Jellyfish, please give me an explanation. Why do you think I taste good?"
Jellyfish comforted him. "Don't worry, I'm very professional."
Jellyfish had lived for a long time. He was not a short-sighted person. He would not go back on his word after making a promise to Little Fox.
"Since I went out to sea, I've met the bat demon, the turtle demon, the butterfly demon, the rooster demon, the Taoist priest and the little girl. Among them, you and the little girl smell the best."
Hua Ji was relieved when he heard Jellyfish mention professional ethics. But when he heard the last sentence, he became curious again.
He asked, "Why?"
"That little girl has the fragrance of Kui Water. And you … Little Fox, you haven't mated yet, right?"
Jellyfish gently stroked Little Fox's head. "In your words, you haven't lost your virginity?"
Hua Ji's expression turned sinister when he heard this.
After a while, he said fiercely, "For a fox demon, it's only been two hundred years. I'm still underage!"
Jellyfish said, "Ha."
