Chapter 95: A not Z
"No! You do not pour a whole bowl of water on one plant. You sprinkle it. In fact, you do not need to use water right now." Mira raged. These people were either purposely getting under her skin or absolutely dumb at this but either of these options made her lose her mind. She told them A and they proceeded to do Z. In fact, they proceeded to do something way outside the alphabet. They did numbers where she mentioned letters and this was not even math. "If you use that much water, you will wash the seeds out of the soil, and it is not good for planting." Mira added. She was trying so hard to keep her calm but her emotions were hanging on a thread. A very thin one.
The beast man looked up to face her with a bland expression on his face. He was knelt down beside the tilled ground. "Oops. I made a mistake. Again."
That was it. These people were doing it on purpose and she had four hours left.
Mira’s eyes twitched. Being nice and lenient with these people was not working out so she was going to explode.
"I have tried it the easy way and it is not working out. So no one should complain when I ABSOLUTELY LOSE IT!" Mira yelled.
This made all eyes turn to face her. Ming Tao was at a corner when he heard her scream. He wanted to get to her but he remembered her instruction before she told him to hunt for animals she DID NOT need. He was going to let his woman handle this by herself.
"Everyone. No one games. I know you are trying to make this more exhausting that it should be but this marks the end of it!" Mira fumed. Her face was red and she was panting hard at the energy she used to rant. "Now, I have told you everything before, and you will do it just as I told. I do not eat meat or beef it to survive like the rest of you do. So if you do not want to die out of hunger, it is best you DO AS I SAY!" Mira took a pause to catch her breath. The beast people stared at her attentively. This time, their facial expressions were not plain and provocative. It was serious. They actually listened. Good. Because this was the last straw for her. "Have I made myself clear?!" Mira asked. Her voice was raised yet lower than a yell.
The beast people exchanged glances before meeting her gaze again. Mira took in a deep breath then let out an exhale.
"HAVE. I. MADE. MYSELF. CLEAR?!" She raged.
She noticed the change in the room. It started with one person before every other person gestured in acceptance.
"Crystal." The man in front of her, who made her resent in the first place, responded. Mira let out a sigh of relief.
"Good. Now back to work. I have secured most of the things you need and have aided with every single thing till now. The least you can do is help yourself." Mira added. That felt unnecessary but if these grown ass adult beast people wanted to behave like children, then she would scold them and talk to them like she would naughty children.
Mira huffed and eased her shoulders by swinging it backwards as she stretched. Her hands and feet were stained with mud from all the activity so she did not touch herself. She needed a hot water bat after this an d a good massage.
Mira noticed a shadow roam behind her. She turned around and collided into a masculine frame. It was Ming Tao.
"Sorry. I don’t want to get dirt on you." Mira apologized and sighed. If there was a word to describe her right now, it would be exhausted. She had been working non stop without rest for hours and these people were taking advantage of her all the time. Mira loved food but she had not eaten a single thing. She could not bring herself to take a break and eat, not when she only had a few hours left and these people sucked at farming. Or they pretended to suck, the end point was, the task had not been completed yet and she needed it to be.
"If there is anyone I want to put dirt all over me, it would be you." Ming Tao breath. He held both her hands, ignoring the sandy mess and pulled her closer to him. "In fact, seeing you covered in all that dirty does things to me. Dare I admit it is hot to see you rant?" Ming Tao stated. He let his head fall lower to be close to her face and his breath fanned her all over.
Mira smirked at his words. She did not let Ming Tao participate in this at all so he was squeaky clean. "Yet, you would not let me touch you." Mira shot at him. Her voice was relaxed and her anger left her body.
"You are touching me now, no?" Ming Tao stated. He had a half grin on his face as he stared right into her eyes.
Mira tilted her face to the side and brought her face closer to his. She ensured her lips rested just in front of his, close enough for him to feel it, but not in contact with his mouth. "Well, that is only because you are holding me, husband. Let my hands free and let me show you how much sexier I can be when I’m loose." Mira’s tone was a husky purr that sent fire down Ming Tao’s body. He felt his dick Trish against his pants with a burning need. One he did not want to fight any longer.
Ming Tao closed the gap between their mouths. He let his lips rest in front of hers, enjoying the softness of her lips. Mira parted her mouth slowly to let him in. Ming Tao smiled. She felt the minute movement of his mouth against hers. Ming Tao pulled back. "Keep that part of you for me in private. Where just the two of us can be." Ming Tao said.
Mira swallowed. She tasted his lips and now she wanted more but he did not give it to her. This man knew how to tease her so well and she fell for it, every damn time.
"You play with a lady so much then expect her to cave at your demand? Who taught you that, husband?" Mira asked, her voice was throaty and low and her eyes burned into Ming Tao’s.
Ming Tao’s smile widened and spread into a half smirk. "Forgive my manners for I have not been properly trained. You could fix that." Ming Tao said. "Teach me everything about attending to a lady that I do not know. Teach me how to please a lady too, so she would cave into my demands." Ming Tao’s voice had a dangerous, seductive low that made Mira’s legs quake. His eyes masked a sinister look that sent electricity through her spine.
Her cheeks burned. It was her turn to feel shy. Mira had nothing to say.
"Skinny cat got your tongue?" Ming Tao’s voice caught her attention. She did not want to lose this even though there was no competition. Mira looked at him and managed to smirk despite the butterflies raiding her stomach.
"No." She lied. "I am just thinking of all the ways I am going to make you beg for it." Mira added.
Ming Tao did not back out. In fact, he had a bold countenance that made Mira stunned. This same man who ran out of the stream simply because she wanted to mate with him was being completely different now. What changed?
Who cared what changed? This is a win win situation! A voice in Mira’s head stated. That voice was right, Mira should take this.
"I look forward to it." Ming Tao said.
Oh. Well, somebody was horny, Mira thought. She blinked and turned around to face the cheetahs. They were working. And this time, appropriately. They were doing everything according to what she said and using the farm tools just as she instructed. So all that time they made her suffer was on purpose? If Mira did not have the ambition to right the wrongs of the old owner of this body, she would have played into their dirty trick and made them suffer this in ten folds.
"It looks like your instruction made it to them. You handled yourself well. I am proud of you, darling." Ming Tao said.
Mira sighed. She wished this did not come at the expense of her mental health but everything was going right. Yet the timer still counted. Mira could not understand. All the cheetahs in the clan were here and farming yet the timer didn’t stop. "I told you I could handle myself, husband." Mira responded to Ming Tao. Her eyes scanned the entire population before her. She had no idea how many adult cheetahs the cheetah clan had.
"Is this everyone who can work from the clan?" Mira asked, still running her eyes around.
"Yes it is. Why?" Ming Tao questioned.
Then why was the timer not stopped? Mira could not make sense of this. She tried to think. "Nothing, Ming Tao, I was just wondering. . ." She stopped talking. It was then it hit her. Ming Tao was a cheetah and he did not learn. "Come with me, husband. It is time to farm."
