A+A-Chapter 251: The Cerberus Who Wants To Learn Chinese
Xia Bantian slowly opened his eyes and released a heavy breath. This time, the lava python gall had saved him several months worth of hard work! He only needed a few days to make some minor adjustments to his body"s state and he would recover completely. The lava python gall contained the essence of a Grade 5 Demonic Beast; after refining it, Xia Bantian could even feel that he was touching on the barrier to the next level!He was now just a single step away from the coveted Xiantian realm! But this step was one that had stopped countless people in their paths. Without external aid, the Xiantian realm was an unattainable thing for many people in their lifetime.
But even so, countless other Evolved Jing masters did not even have the chance to touch upon the borders of that realm in the first place!
"Does this count as obtaining a blessing in the midst of disaster?"
Xia Bantian did not know if he should laugh or cry. No matter how he looked at it, this beating was well worth taking.

The night pa.s.sed, and the sky was turning brighter. The joyful chirping of birds resounded throughout the camping grounds.
A large number of black dots littered the sky as a squadron of helicopters approached the campsite at high speed. An ear-splitting din accompanied the descent of the helicopters as they landed atop a large piece of cleared land.
"Aren"t these people a little too rich?" Ji Wuxie mumbled with disbelief. It was a rare sight to see so many helicopters together. As compared to luxurious cars and such, these helicopters were way more extravagant!
Ji Wuxie also came from a rather well-to-do family. Yet, he realized to his dismay that with all the wealth of his family, they would not even be able to afford any of the helicopters here! While most people were comparing and showing off their cars and watches, these martial artists were directly comparing helicopters!
Bei Feng took the lead and headed towards one of the helicopters. A group of people trailed behind him. Due to there being too many people, Mystic Three and Bai Song had to stay behind and wait for
the second batch of helicopters.
When the silhouette of the tall buildings of the city finally appeared in the distance, Jiang Ranran could not help but scream loudly in excitement.
Humans were social animals. After being away from the bustling city and isolated in the deep mountains for more than a week, the joy of finally seeing the familiar city was impossible to describe with words.
The helicopter stopped outside of Shengnongjia briefly to allow Jiang Ranran and Ji Wuxie to get off. They still needed to make arrangements and organize a rescue team for their friends. Naturally, they could not follow Bei Feng"s group to the airport.
"Thank you, Big Brother Bei Feng! If not for you, Ranran and I would probably not have the chance to come out of there."
Ji Wuxie bowed deeply as a huge sense of grat.i.tude rose up in his heart.
"En, if there"s nothing else, let"s part here."
Bei Feng nodded his head. He did take quite a bit of liking to these two, and was rather appreciative of their characters. But appreciating was merely that. They were still not important enough for him to pay them too much attention. The difference between their lifestyle and his was simply too wide.
The blades on the helicopters sped up as it flew towards the airport. Only when the helicopter carrying Bei Feng and the rest disappeared into the distance did the two finally turn around to leave with a light sigh.

One day later, Bei Feng finally arrived back at Blue Spirit Mountain. Mystic One and the rest were quickly dismissed by him. Their only task right now was to break through to the Evolved Jing level. Bei Feng would then choose those more suitable for learning alchemy among them and send them to Mount Longhu. Once they reached the Xiantian level, he could just let them refine pills for him.
The Cerberus went directly to the back of the villa to guzzle on the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat as soon as it came back. In contrast, the little fox seemed extremely excited to see Bei Feng return. It jumped up and down happily before scampering up his shoulder with an
an excited meep.
"Alright, alright, aren"t I back now?"
Bei Feng rubbed the little fox"s head affectionately.
With a cute meep, it jumped to the ground and indicated for Bei Feng to follow it.
He followed the little fox to the back of the mountain where the White River Rice was growing. The White River Rice was growing extremely well, and had even started bearing fruits!
An uncountable number of fruits, each one the size of an adult"s fist, hung on the branches of the plant. From the looks of it, the fruits would be fully ripe after a short period of time!
"I wanna learn Chinese!"
Indigestion directly sent a message into Bei Feng"s mental sea all of a sudden as he bit down on one of the fruit.
"Pu!"
Bei Feng spat out a mouthful of half-chewed White River Rice and turned to look at the Cerberus with disbelief. "Did you just say that you want to learn Chinese?"
"Right. Do in Rome as Romans do. Since I"m stuck here, I should learn the language."
Indigestion raised its brows loftily.
Bei Feng felt his mouth twitch twice in succession. This silly dog was rather studious! But the problem now was, how should he go about teaching it?
After some thought, Bei Feng decided to call Mystic Three and instructed him to find a nursery teacher.
Humans were not born knowing how to speak, read, and write. Those were all skills acquired later in life.
Now that the Cerberus had been transported to Earth, it was akin to starting afresh on a white piece of paper. It was like a child which did not know anything. Therefore, finding a nursery teacher to teach it would be the most suitable method.
"If you want to learn to read and speak, you have to behave properly. If you scare the teacher away, I will not hire a second one for you!" Bei Feng warned sternly. This fellow had a terrible track record. If he was not careful, it might end up eating the teacher for snack!
"Don"t worry, I know what to do."
Indigestion nodded with an arrogant smirk before choosing a room and trotting
and trotting off towards it.
Bei Feng was at a loss for words as he laughed mutely. This fellow was really beginning to know how to enjoy itself. At the beginning, it was contented to sleep in the yard. But now that it had tasted some comfort, it even wanted to sleep on the bed!
At around 1 in the afternoon, Mystic Three arrived at the villa with a middle-aged woman.
w.a.n.g Qin could be considered as the best in her line. After hearing Mystic Three"s offer of a 80,000 yuan monthly salary as well as pick-up service every day to bring her here, she finally accepted the job.
w.a.n.g Qin"s monthly salary was only 50,000 yuan, and she had to teach more than one child. This time, all she had to do was to teach a single child and her pay was increased significantly. Faced with such conditions, she"d naturally agreed.
When she arrived at the gates of the villa estate, w.a.n.g Qin could not help but blink a few times blankly. She knew what kind of place this was. Without any exaggerations, any random villa in this place had a price tag that 99% of people in the country would not dare to even think of. They would not be able to find that much money even if they worked their whole life!
"Looks like the client this time is either an influential person or an extremely rich fellow! If I could grasp this opportunity properly and strike up a good relations.h.i.+p with the family here, my path would be much smoother in the future!"
w.a.n.g Qin allowed a soft smile to surface on her lips as she made some plans in her heart. For someone as rich and influential as this, as long they agreed to help her just a little bit, she would not have to teach any more bratty kids in the future.
With regards to her own ability, w.a.n.g Qin was still extremely confident. After all, there really weren"t many people who was more professional than her.
"Boss, the person you requested for is here. This is teacher Qin; she"s the best nursery teacher in Qingcheng!" Mystic Three introduced respectfully as he brought w.a.n.g Qin into aQin into a room.
At the same time, he could not suppress a weird feeling rising in his throat. Why did the boss call for a nursery teacher all of a sudden? Could it be that a little boss had arrived?!
"How young! He looks like a top-tier second generation nouveau riche!" w.a.n.g Qin exclaimed silently as she measured Bei Feng in her eyes.
"h.e.l.lo Sir, my name is Qin, surnamed w.a.n.g. I"m among the best when it comes to teaching and nurturing the young minds of children!"
w.a.n.g Qin beamed enthusiastically as she introduced herself. From the way she carried herself to the tone of her words, she seemed extremely confident.
"En, teacher w.a.n.g, please feel free to inform this man if you need us to buy any teaching materials. When will teacher w.a.n.g be able to start?"
Bei Feng nodded in response to w.a.n.g Qin"s greeting.
"The schedule for the lessons is not that urgent. I would have to meet the child first in order to access the child"s age, character, likes and dislikes... those kinds of things. Where is the child? I"d like to take a look first," w.a.n.g Qin explained in a professional manner.
Bei Feng nodded his head and smiled with satisfaction. As expected of a professional. Look at how she carried herself. This method of modeling the lessons based on the student"s abilities was so much more impressive!
"Indigestion, come in and meet your teacher!" Bei Feng called out lightly.
w.a.n.g Qin raised an eyebrow at the strange name. At the same time, she was slightly taken aback by the fact that the child could already walk. It seemed like this child was not too young. That was fine too; kids who were too young were more troublesome.
w.a.n.g Qin and Mystic Three both had their eyes glued to the door nervously. But suddenly, a figure exceeding their wildest imaginations turned the corner, smas.h.i.+ng apart all their expectations. It was actually an ugly large dog!
Mystic Three and w.a.n.g Qin"s eyes nearly fell out of their sockets. Mystic Three had an extremely strange look on his face. The boss did not just ask him to hire a nursery teacher to teach the dog, right?!
