Chapter 21: Fine

She Weilong propped himself up against the wall and raised his head, glancing at the surveillance camera not too far away. He tried very hard to make himself appear less terrified. If the camera wasn't present, he would definitely have kneeled in front of Boss Zhuang without demur.

Zhuang Qing stepped out of the lift. His gaze swept across She Weilong. He hadn't even uttered a single word when She Weilong's legs grew weak and he slumped to the floor, supported by the wall.

Fu Li saw that the person who had arrived was Zhuang Qing and couldn't help feeling somewhat envious. "You really have lots of money."

The price of a room in this hotel was very high.

"I came to find you," Zhuang Qing ignored Fu Li's envious gaze. "Come with me."

"How did you come up without a room card?" Security at the hotel was extremely tight. If one didn't swipe the sensor in the lift with a room card, the lift wouldn't go up at all. Fu Li stared at Zhuang Qing, looking him over. "You used a magic technique to conjure it up?"

"Is that what you're concerned about?" Zhuang Qing restrained his temper. "Come."

"Wait a moment," Fu Li very magnanimously didn't quibble over Zhuang Qing's attitude. He turned and looked at She Weilong, saying with furrowed brows, "As a proper male snake, why is it that even after painstakingly cultivating a human form, you still act like a snake? The image of you sitting on the ground for no reason isn't very nice to look at. Get up."

Feeling very wronged, She Weilong propped himself up against the foot of the wall and stood up.

"Stand firm. Your legs shouldn't tremble. Your waist and back should be straight," Fu Li saw that She Weilong still seemed afraid of the slightest thing and gave up on teaching him.

If this were the past, no leader would want this sort of yaoguai even if they took on the role of mountain scouts. So, he wouldn't waste his good intentions either.

Zhuang Qing glanced silently at the snake yao seated on the ground.

She Weilong was originally already very scared, so when Zhuang Qing glanced over, he nearly burst into tears from terror. It had only been more than twenty years since he cultivated a human form. If he hadn't encountered this good situation where the management bureau's control of the cultivation world prevented formidable yao from bullying other tiny yao, he wouldn't even have dared to leave his cave with his tiny bit of cultivation. Coupled with the snake species' innate reverence and allegiance to dragons, he couldn't help wanting to kneel with just one glance from Zhuang Qing.

Get a grip, this isn't a feudalistic era where emperors rule. Even among yaoguai, it's no longer popular to kneel here and there. She Weilong continuously encouraged himself internally. However, his legs that were as soft as noodles told him through its realistic actions that this sort of mental suggestion wasn't of any use.

"Children cannot be taught." Fu Li shook his head and turned, speaking to Zhuang Qing, "I happen to be getting off work, let me change my clothes first."

"En," Zhuang Qing made a flat sound of agreement.

She Weilong watched the two people leave with his hands held against his chest. Even after a long while, he still couldn't breathe easier. So the boss of the cultivation world wasn't here for him? Also, who was that security guard? He could actually see through his original form in one glance, and was so calm even when faced with the boss of the cultivation world?

Could he also be a senior with profound cultivation?

Recalling his rude words towards the other party, She Weilong was so regretful that he almost failed to maintain his human form.
