Seba: "Xiaojing, I'm hungry!"

Momo: "Little brother, is dinner ready?"

Su Jiu: "Disciple, stop wasting time with things from other worlds and hurry up and serve the food! Where's the fried tofu I ordered?"

Qin Jing: "Here we go! Anyway, that's how it is. This world is very busy too!"

Author: "At least greet your readers loudly!"

Qin Jing: "Everyone! Let's greet the readers in the other world loudly!"

Everyone: "Happy New Year to everyone!"

Qin Jing: "Yes, yes, there's nothing better than celebrating the New Year with family and friends, my readers in this other world. Although I'm a struggling author, I'm a struggling author with aspirations, so please bear with me."

"See you tomorrow!"

Chapter 115, Section 48: The Seven Children of the Hairdresser

The golden morning sun shone brightly on the earth, the trees were lush and green, and little yellow birds chased each other and played on the branches with tender green leaves. Monsters from the academy were active between the stadium and the teaching building. Everywhere there was laughter and joy, and the scene was thriving. At this moment, a golden ray shone into the academy.

As the sun rose high in the sky, the academy suddenly became very lively. The monsters were all discussing the same topic, just as lively as when the Cultivator Alliance had last visited.

"Have you heard? The hairdresser is here?"

Such news was circulating in the academy, and many monsters were excited about it.

The blue peacock spread its magnificent turquoise tail feathers, displaying itself to all sides, hoping to add some phoenix feathers to its plumage.

The brown kitten was being adorable in the yard, and he thought he would be quite handsome if he had a lion's mane.

"A magician? Does magic still exist in the world of monsters?" Qin Jing asked her companions in confusion upon hearing this news.

"It's a magician, someone who governs things like feathers, hair, and scales; a god of hair and color," the whale explained.

"Gods? Real gods?" Qin Jing asked in surprise.

"Actually, you could also call them elves, since they are a natural phenomenon. However, because of their wide influence, they have been regarded as very famous demon gods on this continent in recent years," Momo replied with a smile.

"Very influential? Is controlling hair really that impressive?" Qin Jing asked doubtfully.

"Hair is a second life! For some monsters, it's their true form!" Seba said seriously.

"Xiao Jing! Keep your voice down. If the hairdresser targets you, you might go bald!" Wang Zi reminded her nervously.

"Ah, thinking about it that way, magicians are truly amazing beings." Qin Jing completely understood the feelings of the monsters in the academy.

"If I could receive a blessing, maybe my fur would become shiny and lustrous," Wang Zi said wistfully.

Just then, a light blue bird flew in through the window and came to Qin Jing's side. It transformed into a petite girl in a sailor uniform, and judging from her attire, she was a senior from the middle school district.

"Qin Jing, please come to the principal's office," the bird-like girl said.

"Huh? Is there anything I can help you with?" Qin Jing asked, puzzled.

"I'm just relaying the message. Principal Qiongqi is waiting for you there," the bird-demon girl said.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, senior," Qin Jing said.

"The message has been delivered, so I'll be leaving now." The bird-demon girl nodded, transformed back into a bird, and flew away.

"What's going on?" Wang Zi leaned over and asked in confusion.

"You'll find out when we get there. If I come back late, you guys go to the cooking class first." Qin Jing said and walked out of the classroom.

When Qin Jing arrived at the open principal's office, she saw a tall, thin man, over two meters tall, wearing a top hat and a tailored suit. He had very bright golden hair that cascaded down like a waterfall, curling into a semi-circle at the ends, making it look like stars twinkling in the light. He was a very fashionable man.

"Excuse me!" Qin Jing knocked on the door and came in.

"Ah, Jing boy, you've finally arrived." Qiongqi waved for Qin Jing to come in and introduced him to the blond man: "This is the human I was talking about."

"Hello, human child blessed by the world, I am Gold." The long-haired golden man removed his top hat and greeted him. He was the Hair Mage, the being who manages the color and hair of all things in the world.

"Hello, Mr. Gold." Qin Jing couldn't help but address him this way because of his gentlemanly demeanor.

"No, no, Jing boy, you can just call him/her by his/her name. Magicians are a genderless race by nature," Qiongqi corrected.

"It's alright, call it whatever you like. Qiongqi, let's get down to business," the Demon Master Golden instructed.

“Alright then, Jing called you over because he needs your help with something,” Qiongqi said.

"Is there anything I can help you with? If it's beyond my capabilities, please forgive me for refusing," Qin Jing said beforehand.

Needless to say, Qiongqi wouldn't approach him if it were a simple, physically demanding task. The academy has a whole host of monsters to choose from, and things that monsters can't help with are often quite troublesome.

"This is something you're very good at. You just need to take care of the kids for a few days," Qiongqi said with a laugh.

"A child..." Qin Jing frowned. Did he have to get entangled with that bratty kid forever?

"I'm sorry, Qin Jing, I've run into some problems at work recently and have to go on a long trip. In the meantime, I need to find a place where I can safely entrust my child." As the magician spoke, his long golden hair grew longer and swept across Qiongqi's desk.

There appeared a large cradle, inside which lay seven small, colorful, ball-shaped fur balls, each about the size of a tennis ball, fast asleep.

The hairdresser said, "These are my children. They are still in their infancy. They will be able to take human form when they grow up. This is a crucial time, and they must be taken good care of. But I have to leave, and I am currently troubled. Can you help me take care of these children? I will be back in a week at the latest."

Qin Jing stepped forward and looked at the little life sleeping soundly in the cradle. Upon closer inspection, she found that the little fluffy ball actually looked very similar to a woolly sheep, except that its body was miniature and round, and its seven colors were red, yellow, green, blue, pink, black, and white.

"If it's a baby like that, then yes, that's fine," Qin Jing replied with a smile.

"See? Remember the wine you promised me." Qiongqi said smugly to the magician.

"Very well, human child Qin Jing! The contract between you and the Golden Hairstylist is established. Take good care of my children until I return, and then I will give you my sincerest blessings."

The hairdresser's long golden hair fluttered behind him, and he bent down to touch nose to nose with Qin Jing. Qin Jing immediately felt her aura connect with the hairdresser's aura, and a certain connection was formed between them.

"Then I'll leave my child to you." The magician handed the cradle to Qin Jing.

"Oh, so what do these children eat?" Qin Jing asked.

“No food is needed. You just need to take care of the children when they wake up. Wake up, children.” The hairdresser said, her hair flowing as she scratched the heads of the little lambs in the cradle one by one, waking them up.

"Baa?" The awakened lambs bounced around in the cradle, their big eyes, the same color as their fur, looking at the magician and then curiously examining Qin Jing.

"I'll be away for a while. You'll be living with this human for the next few days. Staying by his side is the best thing for your growth. Come and say hello," the wizard instructed the children.

"Baa!" The colorful little lamb jumped out of the cradle and floated up, touching Qin Jing's nose one by one as a greeting.

"Haha, hello everyone." Qin Jing felt her nose was itchy and said with a smile.

"Then I must leave, Qin Jing. I'm entrusting the children to you." After explaining the precautions for taking care of the children to Qin Jing, the hairdresser got up, touched each child with his nose to say goodbye, and then left.

"Oh, Jing boy, I'm counting on you. Don't mess this up. You can't break your promise to the Demon God, or the Demon Master will get angry, and that'll be terrible." Qiongqi said with a hearty laugh.

"Uncle Qiongqi, how are you going to manage teaching these children?" Qin Jing asked.

"It's alright, just take them wherever you go. Like elves, they can be resurrected even if they die! As long as you don't get discovered by the magician and can keep your promise, everything will be fine." Qiongqi laughed heartily.

'Uncle Qiongqi is definitely single, never mind if I asked. But these kids seem pretty quiet, they should be fine, right?' Qin Jing thought to herself, looking at the colorful little lambs sleeping again in their cradle.

After saying goodbye to Qiongqi, Qin Jing went straight to the cooking classroom.

Section 116, Chapter 49: Taking Care of the Hairdresser's Child

The morning's academic classes were already over, and it was now free time. Because I woke up late this morning, I didn't make a lunchbox, so I originally planned to cook lunch at the cooking class.

Ever since Qin Jing swiped his card to buy a large amount of ingredients and put them in the cooking room for recipe research, the cooking room has become a place shared by him and Teacher Mimi. On the contrary, when other friends come, Teacher Mimi will smile ambiguously and leave on her own initiative.

And by now, his friends are probably already there waiting.

Qin Jing pushed open the door to the cooking classroom and, sure enough, saw a lion girl looking at her expectantly. Whale was sitting to the side flipping through a book, while Momo and Wangzi were still not there and would probably have to wait a while.

"Xiao Jing, I'm hungry," said Little Seba.

"Oh, sorry, something came up and I was held up. I'll start cooking now." Qin Jing patted Seba's head and first found a place to put the basket away.

"What is this? Is it delicious?" Seba asked curiously, looking at the basket.

"These aren't food; they're the children of a magician. We'll have to take care of them for about a week," Qin Jing explained.

"What! The magician's children?" Wang Zi and Mo Mo, who happened to be walking over, heard Qin Jing's words and curiously approached the basket to look at the sleeping lambs inside.

"So tiny! It's like a newborn puppy. Shouldn't the legendary magicians be tall, humanoid demon gods?" Wang Zi asked curiously.

"They say it's still a baby now, but it will grow into a human form as it grows up," Qin Jing said, looking at the little lamb in the basket.

"I see. This little black creature is quite interesting." Momo said, picking up a small sheep and examining it. The sheep, awakened by the noise, floated to Momo's face and touched noses with her.

"Baa! Baa baa baa!" The other children were also awakened by the noise, flying out of the basket and floating around. The wizard's children had a trait of being interested in things that were similar in color to themselves.

A brightly colored spherical creature with large, intelligent eyes, its tiny hands and feet waving in the air as if swimming.

The girls laughed when they saw how cute the little lambs were.

Children with a spiritual nature are very sensitive and can sense the kindness or malice of the outside world. They will approach those they like and receive care from them.

The little yellow sheep floated onto Seba's head, its little mouth touching the ahoge (cowlick) that emitted a golden glow.

"Baa." The white and pink little sheep flew to Qin Jing's shoulder and sat down.

"Xiaojing, can I take care of this child?" Whale asked, picking up the blue sheep that had taken the initiative to approach her, seemingly very happy.

"Sure, but remember not to let them touch brightly colored things. After all, they are young children, so we can't be careless." Qin Jing said, chasing away the red sheep that was trying to float towards the chili sauce bottle, and then catching the green sheep that was looking out the window at the green trees and trying to fly away.

"Baa?" The two little lambs were caught, waving their four little legs, unable to move.

"Play quietly in here." Qin Jing put the lambs back in the basket, handed them over to Wang Zi to look after, and started cooking.

Whenever they see the brightly colored, finely chopped vegetables and meats tumbling in a pot of burning flames, with thick sauce poured in, the little lambs will bleat happily and try to come closer. Fortunately, the girls are there to catch them in time.

Qin Jing was able to quickly and efficiently prepare lunch in one go.

Pour a large amount of fragrant stir-fried mixed vegetables into a large wooden basin. By this time, the rice in the rice cooker is also cooked. Place the mixed vegetables on top of the rice, and the simple and delicious mixed rice bowl is ready.

The flavorful mixed vegetables, perfectly balanced ingredients, and generous portions of meat made Momo and Wangzi thoroughly enjoy their meal.

Whale poured half a bottle of fiery red chili sauce into the bowl, covered the rice with another layer, and began to eat slowly and deliberately.

"Baa!" the little red sheep bleated happily.

Seba ate the rice in his bowl at lightning speed without any hesitation.

"Baa?" The little lambs stared in surprise at the bowl. Even though Seba wasn't eating much, the rice disappeared at a rate that seemed to shrink every few seconds.

After lunch, Qin Jing used her computer to find information about hairdressers in the library.

Besides being gods of hair, the hair magician's hair is also a very precious thing, as it can be used as pigment or hair dye, and once dyed, it will never fade.

Hairdressers need to be carefully cared for when they are children. Their hair will change depending on the way it is cultivated, their mood and will. If it is cultivated well, their hair will be bright, beautiful and smooth in the future.

Conversely, if a person is depressed during their growth period, their hair may become thin and coarse.

The saying "You can tell what a person will be like at three years old" really applies to little lambs.

As the magician Gold said, this is a crucial moment for these little lambs to grow.

In order to take care of them, Qin Jing decided to keep them with her at all times for easier care.

In the afternoon, when they saw Qin Jing carrying a basket into the classroom, the monsters all looked over curiously.

"Oh, Qin Jing, what is this...?" Tiger asked.

"This is the hairstylist's child, and the principal entrusted Qin Jing to take care of him," Wang Zi said proudly.

"Boss Qin Jing, may I take a look?" asked the female fairy with small animals walking over.

"Sure, sure. But why are you guys starting to call me 'boss' too?" Qin Jing asked, looking at the girls in her class with a puzzled expression.

"Because the leader of the class is the leader," the vixens said matter-of-factly.

Did Qin Jing become the undisputed leader of the group without even realizing it?

"Oh, boss, you're so lucky! I wish I could get an even prettier tail too. Can I shake hands with the hairdresser's child?" the blue peacock said, showing off its tail and displaying its feathers in a showy manner.

"After these children wake up," Qin Jing said calmly.

"As expected of the boss, may I shake your hand now?" Blue Peacock spread her tail even wider and extended her hand to ask.

"!" The whale raised its head warily.

"I'll pass, I'm not interested in that," Qin Jing said, turning her head away in refusal.

"Yoyoyo! Xiaojing! I've come to see the magician's child." The one who ran into the classroom was Yoyo, a white-haired elf girl in the fourth grade.

"Oh, Youyou, where did you hear that? You're really well-informed," Qin Jing said to the girl with a smile.
