Gentle Beast

The next morning, before Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu had woken up, Elder Berson returned to Ryan's house and knocked on the door.

The next day, Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu signed a contract with Elder Berson, containing all the conditions mentioned the day before.

Elder Berson was bitter. Originally, he wanted to use it to dominate the entire continent. Now that his hopes had been shattered, it was a bit uncomfortable. . . However, the leaders promised, and what else could he do as a mere elder?

But, on second thought, it was still good. At least, the leopards no longer had to fear attacks from other races in the future.

Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu said anxiously, "Why did you pour all of the power into it? Didn't I say just half. . ."

While listening to Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu, Walker backed away and, keeping a safe distance from her, nodded, "Sorry, I'll pay attention next time. . ."

Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu saw his sincerity and didn't continue to scold him.

Since then, every time Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu taught them, they consciously kept a distance between them.

If they got too close, their chief's eyes would sweep over, and it was no joke.

Half a month later, there was finally a small success.

Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu let several males to the back of the tribe to test the powder.

The results from Joel were most remarkable, and the gunpowder produced was enough to crush a stone half as tall as a person.

He was followed by Walker, then Selwyn.

There seemed to be something going on at Winter's house and he hadn't arrived yet.

Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu took a record of their achievements and pointed out the advantages and disadvantages, then let them go back to practice.

Waiting for a while, she still saw no signs of Winter's figure.

Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu prepared to teach them how to set up the gunpowder, "The arrangement is just as important as the production. If it isn't well-arranged, it can be easily discovered and it's very easy to pick up. . ."

Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu taught for an hour because the venue was too big and it wasn't easy to explain. The three beastmen learned a little.

Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu touched her cheek and was a bit embarrassed. Suddenly, she remembered that she had once painted a "topographic map" for the gunpowder. When she was bored, she had designed it according to the terrain around Camuda Valley. It would be easier for them to understand if she could give it to them.

"Wait for me, I'll go fetch something." Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu remembered she had put it in the closet, and she hesitated for a moment.

It wasn't too far from Ryan's house. Roughly thirty minutes back and forth, so Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu sped up and took ten minutes to get there.

She went straight to the cabin and stood in front of the cupboard, tip-toeing. Five minutes later, she couldn't find it.

Strange, it wasn't there?

Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu twisted her brows in thought. Could she have put it in the bedroom cabinet?

That wasn't impossible. Every time she went to bed too late, Ryan would take away her flashlight and carry her to bed, ordering her to sleep. She would have no choice but to stick out her hand and put everything in the closet next to her.

Jǐ Xiǎo Ōu walked in the direction of the bedroom.
