Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 364 - 363: Blatant Eavesdropping

Si Shuo, with uncharacteristic playfulness, tugged on her precious daughter’s wings and pulled at her legs. She only stopped when the little one got annoyed and pecked lightly at her Mother’s hand in protest.

Si Shuo hadn’t spoken those previous words out loud; they were just her thoughts. She never expected her daughter to be able to hear them. What did this mean?

The Mind Reading Technique, which had been all the rage in novels for a while, had been mastered by Little Hong!

With this handy little tool, wouldn’t hiring for the restaurant be twice as effective with half the effort?

Si Shuo smiled and discussed the applying Beastmen with Little Hong one by one. Although they couldn’t figure someone out completely in just a few minutes, the conditions Ji Liang had set could, to a certain extent, guarantee the restaurant’s service level and quality. At the very least, they could promptly weed out those who didn’t meet the requirements.

As for the rest, they could select the most suitable candidates over the coming month of training as they got to know them better.

"Mother, that one! Let’s pick that one!" Little Hong said, slightly excited, as she spotted a man with tawny hair and black streaks.

Si Shuo was a little curious. "He’s a Tiger Beastman. Is his Combat Power formidable?"

Little Hong nodded. "He’s been injured. He fell from..." She tilted her head. "From Level 16 to Level 12?"

Mother and daughter exchanged a look. ’What was this about?’ The highest Level on the Central Continent was supposed to be Zhu Bang at Level 15, and most of his cultivation had since been destroyed.

When did a Level 16 even appear, and how did he drop to Level 12?

"He doesn’t seem to be from our Central Continent. He’s from the far Southwest, and it sounds like the Beastmen there are all high-Level... The Beastmen there also believe in a Beast God, but their Beast God doesn’t just govern their survival and reproduction. He also places a special emphasis on integrity. If they make an oath, they must follow it to the end. Otherwise, the Beast God will grant their wishes, so to speak—divine lightning punishment, a rotten mouth and tongue, blindness, severed limbs—it all depends on the oath they swear.

Even now that he’s come to Guangshou City, he’s still bound by this Oath Curse that’s been carved into his very soul, so he doesn’t dare to lightly break any oath he makes."

The male moved along with the line indifferently, listening to the discussions of the Beastmen around him. Meanwhile, thoughts about the Southwest kept popping up in his mind, all of which were captured by Little Hong and relayed to Si Shuo.

Si Shuo, in turn, wrote furiously, recording all this information to take back to her space and broaden the horizons of the males in her family.

Of course, she also didn’t forget to tell everyone about Little Hong’s Mind Reading Technique superpower.

Thus, when the Tiger Beastman stepped forward, Ji Liang asked him the same few questions as usual.

The Tiger Beastman replied in a deep voice, "Greetings, Sir Ji Liang. My name is Zu Nai. I’m a Tiger Beastman from the forests of the Southwest. I have a female partner, but we had a misunderstanding. I was... exiled, and I wandered to Guangshou City.

I’d like to apply for the guard position..."

Little Hong and Si Shuo were reading the information he filtered from his thoughts and didn’t say out loud. "Ah, this guy’s life is so tragic. His female partner is a gambler who loves to make bets, and she even wagers her Beast Husbands’ cultivation.

Any Beast Husband with low cultivation is reduced to a miscellaneous worker at home and forced to do hard labor to earn Crystal Stones. She’s more of an exploiter than an actual pig skinner..."

Si Shuo nodded. They would just listen to these things and leave it at that. All that mattered was that Zu Nai could genuinely stay and work here without causing trouble.

Ji Liang raised an eyebrow. "Hiss... In principle, we prioritize hiring Beastmen from within Guangshou City, especially from the North City District. However, I see that your qualifications, Zu Nai, are quite good. But you’re a Level 12 Beastman. How can we be sure you’ll commit yourself to our humble little shop?"

Zu Nai answered earnestly, "You can rest assured, Sir Ji Liang. Where I come from, we take promises very seriously. I’m applying because I want a place to settle down, something to do, and a way to earn Crystal Stones to fill my stomach.

Since I’m applying to be a guard, I will definitely work diligently and protect the shop’s business. If I ever have any disloyal intentions, then... may I lose an arm!"

After he finished speaking, the crowd saw a faint bolt of lightning descend from the sky and CRACKLE as it sank into his body. It was a sign that the oath had taken effect.

Ji Liang’s eyes narrowed slightly. He had heard that any Beastman born in the distant Southwest was bound by the Oath Curse no matter where they went. But seeing it for himself now, he still found it miraculous.

Since the Southwest Beast God was acting as a guarantor, Ji Liang naturally nodded and had Zu Nai stay for the next month of training.

With Little Hong’s help, they successively kept a dozen or so Beastmen who were powerful and of decent character.

In just one day, their shop had filled all its positions, even leaving three to five Beastmen as alternates for each role.

However, the line of applicants only grew longer. "Sir Ji Liang, aren’t you going to interview all of us? What if we’re a better fit than them in terms of strength, character, and qualifications?"

"That’s right! With so many of us here, is there really not a single one who catches your eye?"

The Beastmen who had arrived late were vexed, pleading with Ji Liang to continue the interviews for all of them. They argued that employees selected from such a large pool would surely be better than the current batch.

Ji Liang smiled and said, "As you can all see, our shop is new and it’s only so big. We really don’t need that many employees.

However, we firmly believe that Hai Yun Lai Restaurant will one day have branches all over Guangshou City, and we’ll need to hire many more employees then.

Everyone, please keep a close eye out for our announcements..."

The crowd just assumed he was saying that to get them to leave and dispersed in disappointment.

The Beastmen who were chosen were slightly emotional. Finding a job in Guangshou City with easy work, good benefits, and decent pay was truly difficult.

Ji Liang said a few words to them, then had them go to the rear courtyard to rest.

Their formal training would begin tomorrow. Each position had an elimination quota, so the Beastmen would have to work hard enough if they wanted to secure their spots.

Moreover, Ji Liang had also said that if he was not satisfied with any of them, the shop might hold a second round of hiring.

The Beastmen immediately felt the pressure. It seemed earning Crystal Stones was hard no matter where you were.

Si Shuo leaned on the windowsill, watching her Beast Husband’s solemn and earnest expression, her eyes filled with a brilliant smile.

"Mother, I think you like Father Ji Liang the most," Little Hong huffed. "My other Father is great too, you know. He’s out hunting for food for our little family."

’This little rascal is brazenly listening to my thoughts!’

Si Shuo pinched her beak and huffed back, "I love them all. It’s just that right now, I especially like your Father Ji Liang. The moment I see your other Fathers, the scales of my affection will tip again."

Little Hong made muffled sounds, but with her beak held shut by her Mother, she couldn’t say a word and could only look at her pitifully.

"Hong, this Mind Reading Technique of yours, can you block things out with it? You can’t just listen to every Beastman’s thoughts, right? Wouldn’t that drive a person mad?"

’What if she and...’ ’Can’t think about that. Not suitable for children.’ Si Shuo glared at the little one.
