Chapter 67 Survival of the Fittest in Nature

When Li Jing woke up, it was already evening.

Walking out of the room, Ji Qing, Stinky Tofu, a cat and a dog were watching TV in the living room.

If others see such a scene, they will definitely feel incredible.

But in this villa, it's everyday.

Seeing Li Jing coming out of the room, Stinky Tofu quickly got up and shook his head and tail.

Ji Qing asked out of words.

"When is dinner?"

"Well, I'll cook right away."

Li Jing responded, went to Stinky Tofu's kennel, ordered dog food for it, and looked at Ji Qing.

"Chen Yuran hasn't come back yet?"

"No."

Ji Qing curled up on the sofa and yawned lazily, then sighed.

"Now there are inspections and auxiliary inspections everywhere outside, which is even bigger than when there was a demon plague a while ago. Looking at it like this, I have to wait for a while to return to the hot pot restaurant as my own proprietress."

"It's true that we have to wait for a while. This time the matter will not calm down so easily."

Li Jing nodded.

Ji Qing has clearly learned about the current situation in Beicheng District through news and other channels.

The incident had a great impact on her.

In particular, humanoid monsters were involved in the case.

What Dai Hong thinks about this, Li Jing doesn't know.

But to be on the safe side, it's better for Ji Qing to calm down and stay at Chen Yuran's house.

Walking to the refrigerator to choose ingredients, Li Jing turned his head.

"After dinner, I'm going to go to the Spiritual Object Market."

"Spiritual item market?"

Ji Qing made a sound in surprise, then jumped off the sofa and trotted over, kicking on Li Jing's shoulders with four short legs.

"Take me with you. I haven't been out of the house for a long time. It's very boring to stay at home and play games every day. With you by my side, I don't have to worry about being questioned by the patrol."

"this……"

Li Jing hesitated.

It's nothing to take Ji Qing out.

The point is that he went out to the Spiritual Object Market to appraise the value of Qu Lianghong's body, and if he could sell it on the spot, he would sell it.

It seems a bit inappropriate to bring Ji Qing along with a humanoid monster?

Looking at Li Jing's teasing expression, as if he didn't want to take him with him, Ji Qing tilted his head.

"What? Are you going on a date or something? Can't take me?"

"Not this one."

Li Jing shook his head.

After thinking about it, he simply took out Qu Lianghong's body from the storage space.

Suddenly seeing someone pull out a snake, Ji Qing was stunned.

"This is……?"

"A female snake demon in human form, I killed it."

Li Jing told.

"..."

Ji Qing was silent, then asked.

"Did she kill someone?"

"She's part of the mess in the city."

Li Jing said, said.

"I went to the market to estimate the price and find a merchant who collects monster materials to sell the item for some money. Why don't you come with me on this matter, she is the same as you..."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Qing made a strange sound.

"I'm a cat, and this is a snake in your hand, so it's not the same kind."

As she spoke, she fixed her eyes on Qu Lianghong's body.

"Since it has harmed someone, it means death is worth the crime. I will not sympathize with anyone just because I am a monster. We humanoid monsters don't pay as much attention to rules as you humans, but there is a saying that do as the Romans do. To integrate into society, all human society We must adapt and learn the legal principles and human feelings."

After rambling on, Ji Qing continued.

"The snake monster in your hand that caused such a big mess is a kind of harm to me, who is also a human monster. Just like the current situation outside, my life has been seriously affected by it. I hate it too late to sympathize with it?"

Hearing Ji Qing's very rational voice, Li Jing frowned strangely.

"I understand the truth. I'm going to sell this snake demon for money. Do you mind?"

"What's the point?"

Ji Qing said lightly, saying.

"Even if we monsters have a human form, they are not human after all. We have the nature of beasts in our bones, and there is a food chain relationship. Hunting and killing each other is very common, and killing each other is more common among the same species. Monsters and monsters want to live in harmony , must be based on equal strength and temperament."

As she spoke, she hummed and added.

"Take me personally as an example. I belong to the cat family and I was born as a predator. It's just that I was born as a puppet cat and I am more docile and don't like hunting. If I change to other cats, I will see snakes, mice, birds The demon transformed into a demon will have murderous intentions on the spot. The premise is that he can take down the opponent without exposing himself, unless there is a special reason, it is very rare to be able to hold back."

While speaking, Ji Qing licked her pink and tender paws, and there was a little greed in the cat's eyes.

"You are just selling this snake monster for money. If it is in my hands, it must be a meal of snake meat. For you humans, high-level monsters are treasures, so why not for us monsters? High-level monsters are right. For me, who is also a monster, it is a real tonic and helps my practice. By the way, the same concept is also applicable to Tofu as a spirit beast. The meekness of spirit beasts is only for humans, not for other beasts It’s not very friendly to humans. Stinky tofu seems harmless to humans and animals because it has been domesticated since childhood, and the variety is relatively special.”

"..."

Li Jing.

What Ji Qing said is very true.

And it makes sense.

Survival of the fittest in nature, isn't that what it is?

Humans are essentially part of the food chain in nature.

It's just that human beings are special, possessing humanity and wisdom, and standing at the top of the food chain.

Li Jingzhen didn't think so much before.

Ji Qing's explanation made him understand.

Regardless of whether it is a spirit beast or a monster, it is basically a beast.

Even if there is a distinction between good and evil, the animal nature is still difficult to destroy.

Someone as docile as Ji Qing is not because of kindness in his heart, but purely because of his special nature.

Seeing that Ji Qing was staring straight at the snake in his hand while he was talking, Li Jing turned his head to look at the stinky tofu in the corner of the living room, which was eating dog food but actually sneaked a peek at it from time to time, and silently compared Qu Lianghong's The body is stuffed back into the storage space.

At first he didn't realize it.

Now that he understood, how could he not guard against possible "house thieves"?

...

With Chen Yuran not around, Li Jing wasn't too rich.

After Jian Jian had a meal with Ji Qing, he went back to his room and changed into a suit of clothes.

Back in the living room, Ji Qing was already waiting at the door.

The stinky tofu is full, but it has already crawled into its kennel.

After being put on the small shoes by Li Jing, it became much more honest and did not dare to make mistakes easily.

It knew that it had no part to go to the spirit item market, so it didn't make any noise at all.

When Li Jing came out and saw Ji Qing was already at the door, he stepped forward and planned to reach out to hug her.

Ji Qing, who was usually submissive and allowed to be touched, suddenly jumped away when his hands were halfway through.

?

Li Jing frowned.

"It's rare to go out again, I want to go in human form."

Ji Qing spat out words.

Without waiting for someone to reply, she poked her head out of the villa to make sure it was all right, and transformed into a human form.

Then, without saying a word, she grabbed Li Jing.

"Hurry up, hurry up, Chen Yuran may come back at any time, so don't run into him."

"..."

Li Jing.

Ji Qing wanted to go out in human form, he could understand.

After all, she has maintained a cat-like appearance during this period of time, and has never transformed into a human form. It is estimated that she has been suffocating for a while.

The problem is that if Ji Qing goes out with him in human form, he won't be able to defend the sky.

To go to the Spiritual Object Market, it takes an hour by taxi!
