Chapter 10 — Hearing the Voices of Animals, I Became the Director of the Tyrant's Zoo

He looked at the peaceful field outside the city and suddenly tilted his head to look at me. The dawn light fell on his face, and for the first time, a bit of warmth appeared on that face that had never shown joy or anger.

“Khuc Thai Vi.”

“Um?”

"You saved hundreds of thousands of people in the capital."

I was stunned for a moment, then curled the corner of my mouth:

“So how do you plan to reward me?”

Trieu Ky laughed, reached out and patted my head:

“Greed.”

He took out a roll of bright yellow silk from his sleeve and gave it to me. Let's open it and see——

"Khuc Thai Vi had meritorious service in protecting the people and was promoted to the second rank of 'Ten Thousand Beasts Ty Giam', commanding Ngu Beast Garden and hundreds of species of animals and birds in the four suburbs of the capital..."

Behind there is a long chain of rewards, gold, silver, jewels, silk and brocade, enough to last me for eight lifetimes. But my eyes stopped at the line in the middle, unable to move away.

“Conferred the title of ‘Linh Tue Protector of the Nation'.”

I raised my head to look at him. Trieu Ky turned around and walked down the castle, his voice scattered in the morning wind:

"Go see your Great General Tiger. He rioted all night, saying that if you don't return the Omen to him, he will destroy the Ngu Beast Garden."

I let out a laugh. Carry your skirt and run slowly. On the way back to Ngu Animal Park, we passed by the tiger brother's cage, he was lying on the iron bars screaming at me:

"Skinny girl! You're finally back! I'm worried to death!"

I came closer and touched its big head:

"What are you worried about? I bring you good news."

“What good news?”

"The Queen Mother said, that peacock will later be raised in the Hundred Birds Forest next to the Royal Animal Garden, you can see it anytime you want."

The tiger's tail "pop" and waved, a series of happy purrs emitted from his throat:

"Really?! Tiger's omen! Here comes the tiger!"

It was so happy that it rotated around in the cage, its five hundred pound body stomping on the ground "noisily". I laughed and went out. As soon as he stepped out of the gate of Ngu Beast Garden, a loud noise suddenly exploded in his ears. The deer near Deer Park are screaming:

"It's not over, it's not over! Confucius Garden is fighting!"

“Three green kangaroos plucked off the white kangaroos' tail feathers!”

"Hou Son is also in chaos! The old monkey leads the little monkey to compete for territory!"

I grabbed the door frame and took a deep breath. Really cool. On the first day as Van Thu Ty Giam, the employees started a civil war. I rolled up my sleeves and turned around to go inside. In the early morning light behind, the whole Ngu Beast Garden looked like a market that had just exploded, birds flying, monkeys jumping, deer roaring and tigers roaring. Tiger song weighing five hundred pounds lies on the other side, facing Bach Dieu Lam "ao oh ao oh" singing a love song. The white elephant Thuy Tuyet waved his trunk, stepped on his small footsteps and followed behind the duke to see what was going on. The deer jumped up and trampled Thu Dao's newly planted flower bed—— I raised my head and looked at the sky. The sun has just risen. A new day, a new battlefield. I raised my voice and shouted towards the whole garden:

"Everyone please be quiet! Line up neatly! One by one!"

My response was an even more resounding battle of flying chickens and barking dogs. Complete.
