Ch 362: Is That Really What You Heard?
Lady Si immediately lowered her head to write a note and placed it in the pocket dimension.
Lord Ji Liang seemed to sense something, paused, internally examined the note on the stone table in the cultivation space, and sized up the man with narrowed eyes, asking casually, “Hiss, may I ask, are you really a Cattle Beastman? Why do I smell a goat scent?”
The man patted his chest, “Lord Ji Liang, look at my physique and appearance, I’m definitely a Cattle Beastman!”
“Then would it be convenient to show us your beast form?” Lord Ji Liang asked with a curl of his lips.
The man paused, then said somewhat displeased, “What do you mean? Do I need to deceive you about my beast form? It’s not like there’s much difference between a Cattle Beastman and a Goat Beastman.
I have plenty of strength, I’m not afraid of hardship or fatigue, I’m good at working and fighting, aside from being a bit clumsy with words, there’s nothing to fault.”
“This young brother, it’s just a matter of showing us your beast form, why are you being so evasive? We emphasized during the recruitment that all Beastmen applying to our shop must provide truthful information.
You’re being so secretive about your beast form, could there be some secret you can’t share with everyone? It concerns the safety and service quality of future customers, so I’m sorry, we can’t keep you.”
“Are you sick in the head? We’re here to work, what does that have to do with my beast form? In Beast City, there are very few opportunities to use our beast forms. I’m not some Rogue Beastman, nor am I an evil beast wanted by the city, so why can’t I compete fairly with everyone else?” The man’s eyes turned red with anger, and he clenched his fists, saying, “I think you’re deliberately trying to make me uncomfortable, if you have the guts, let’s have a fight…”
Lord Ji Liang chuckled softly, “Hiss, you haven’t even started helping out in the shop yet, and you’re already getting so irritable. Is this the right state to work at our Good Luck Shop? I’m afraid you’ll scare the customers away.”
“I, I’m just letting you see my skills,” the man gritted his teeth, suppressing his anger.
“Mother, he’s not from our Guangshou City, and he wants to live in our family’s shop,” Xiao Hong, who had been in her Falcon Cub form outside, fluttered onto Shuo Shuo’s shoulder and whispered to her.
“How do you know?” Shuo Shuo asked curiously.
“I heard him,” Xiao Hong tilted her head and replied, “He also said that the reason he came to Guangshou City this time was because he messed up in his own tribe. During a tribal exchange meeting, he got into a conflict with someone and pierced the neck of the young master of another tribe.”
Shuo Shuo’s body trembled slightly, can’t use him! We can’t use a Beastman like that!
She continued to write a note for Lord Ji Liang.
Lord Ji Liang glanced at it internally and still insisted, “Next.”
“No, if you don’t hire me today, I’m not leaving!” The man stood in front of the table with his arms crossed, blocking the other applicants and acting like a rogue.
“You’re so sure I can’t do anything to you?” Lord Ji Liang’s face turned cold.
“I heard that Guangshou City has a lot of rules, and doesn’t allow fighting in private, tsk, I didn’t expect it to be true.
You’re running a business, you value harmony and smooth sailing, there’s no need to get angry over me, an applicant for the guard position, and affect the shop’s recruitment and opening, right?” The man seemed to have Ji Liang figured out.
Lord Ji Liang smiled, “We’re really not afraid of the shop being affected. Since you’re blocking the way here, today’s recruitment ends here…”
“Hey, Lord Ji Liang, you haven’t asked about our situation yet. This neither-cattle-nor-goat Beastman can go wherever he wants, don’t block our way… This is the first time I’ve seen someone forcing the owner to hire them…”
“Heh, this thing is sure we can’t fight, huh? If you have the guts, let’s settle this in the wrestling arena!”
The man turned a deaf ear to the voices behind him, and just stood there without moving an inch.

Shuo Shuo’s eyes darted around, and she said with a smile, leaning forward, “Everyone who’s here to apply, here’s your test. Whoever can chase this troublemaker away can become our shop’s little manager, with a base salary of two hundred level six crystals!”
As soon as she said this, everyone exchanged glances and swarmed towards the man.
If only one or two people had rushed up, the man could have easily dodged them, or even pushed them back with his chest.
But now, with a group of Beastmen surrounding him, the overwhelming momentum immediately made his legs feel weak, and what’s more, he heard someone in the crowd shout to strip off his fur to see if he knew shame, and if he would dare to continue blocking the way.
Too brutal, so what if you have crystals? He had no choice but to turn around and run away.
Everyone was still not satisfied, “Why did he run so fast? I haven’t even gotten close enough to pluck his fur yet…”
“I thought he was so powerful, turns out he’s just so-so! Relying on the fact that we can’t fight in the city to act like a rogue, heh, then it’s perfectly normal for us to strip off his fur without hurting him…”
“Sigh, so timid, how could he be a Cattle Beastman? I was still hoping he could give me a boost to become a little manager, so boring…”
The applicants continued to line up, discussing with excitement and regret.
Lord Ji Liang smiled and gave Shuo Shuo a thumbs up, and shouted to everyone, “Everyone saw that, no matter how powerful a Beastman is, they’re afraid of our momentum.
Going forward, all the employees in our shop will be supervised by everyone. If anyone doesn’t do well enough, then they’ll be replaced by someone suitable from among you…”
Everyone nodded in agreement. Those who were hired would definitely study hard and do their duty in order to avoid being replaced; even those who didn’t get hired would be keeping a close eye on the employees in the shop at all times, ready to be substitutes.
The recruitment continued, but Xiao Hong kept muttering in Shuo Shuo’s ear, this one is a disguised Rogue Beastman, that one has a bad character.
Shuo Shuo held a fruit in one hand and gnawed on it, and used the other hand to write down what Xiao Hong said, and put it on the stone table in the pocket dimension.
“That’s not right!” Shuo Shuo suddenly stopped writing, turned her head to look at Xiao Hong, “Hong’er, is that really what you heard? Not to mention anything else, that aurochs pretending to be a Cattle Beastman, he committed such a crime, he should be keeping it a secret, how could he tell others, and then be heard by you?”
Xiao Hong blinked her eyes, “But Mother, I just heard it, but they were all talking to themselves, they didn’t tell anyone else.”
Shuo Shuo was silent: So, Hong’er, you can completely be the recruitment officer with your Father Ji Liang.
Xiao Hong nodded with a smile, “I think it’s a good idea!”
Shuo Shuo grabbed her wings, looked at the cute and well-behaved Falcon Cub, and was excited and surprised in her heart: What’s a good idea? Recruitment is a skill.
Xiao Hong hummed, “Mother, don’t underestimate me. I’m not a real human cub of a few months old, who doesn’t understand anything. With Father Ji Liang having me, he’ll definitely be even more powerful…”
