We monsters are not allowed to be single

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Jul 19, 2023






  It's just entered May and the weather is already hot. The sun overhead is bright and hot, and pedestrians on the road have changed out of their thin jackets and are already wearing summer clothes.
  
  Today is the first day of Labor Day, the square in front of the shopping mall promotional businesses lined up in order, most of them take advantage of the holiday to promote the food stalls, elaborate food emits a tantalizing aroma, luring pedestrians to stop. Jiang Greed carrying a shoulder bag, relying on the height advantage to each stall to see a circle, eyes finally fixed on a stall selling roasted pig's feet.
  
  This stall was surrounded by the most people, Jiang Greed only smelled the burst of aroma coming from the burst, I know the taste is not bad.
  
  "It smells so good." The mythical beast nestled in Jiang Greed's jacket pocket poked out half of his head, his two round cat eyes eagerly staring at the charred and tantalizing roasted pig's feet. Jiang Greed glanced down at him and saw that the little cub had want to eat written all over his face.
  
  "This month's paycheck hasn't been paid yet."
  Jiang Greed also wanted to eat, but with very little money left for this month's living expenses, and their paychecks not due until the tenth, they really didn't have any extra money to buy snacks. Pressing his brother, who was picking at the edge of his pocket, back down, Jiang Greed took back his gaze that was glued to the roasted pig's feet and resolutely turned away. He didn't know whether he was comforting his brother or himself, "When we go to the restaurant, we'll have good food."
  
  The animal obediently "Oh", two small round ears shrugged down in disappointment, but knowingly did not make another sound. After all, the fifth brother just moved out of the family, the monthly salary to support themselves plus a him is already very difficult, he can not let the already unbearable family add to the burden.
  
  The two brothers tacitly forgot about the roasted pig's feet and entered the mall, taking the elevator straight to the fifth floor.
  
  --Ginger Greed had a blind date today.
  
  This sudden blind date, Jiang Greed actually refused. As an ancient demon who has just moved out from her family with financial independence, but has a huge appetite and has eaten herself into poverty, Jiang Greed feels that one more person in her family is just one more mouth to feed, and she really can't afford it.
  
  However, after attending several meetings, the director of the Family Planning Office thought that there were currently too many single demon races, which was not conducive to the reproduction of the demon race, and even less conducive to social stability and the harmonious development of the human and demon races. Therefore, with a slap on the head, he formulated a new rule: the demon race is not allowed to be single.
  
  For this reason, Director Hu also invited the moon goddess to sit in the birth control office, to find a match for the older leftover demons.
  
  This kind of inexplicable rules of course met with the unanimous opposition of the older leftover demons, the work of the birth control office was once very difficult to implement. In order to make a good start, Director Hu approached Jiang Greed.
  
  As the Dragon's Son, Jiang Greed was still very powerful in the eyes of a group of ordinary demons. Moreover, only a few big demons know that the fifth son of the dragon, Taotie, had to leave the Dragon Palace for some reasons and is now making a living in the human society. The Family Planning Office that Director Hu served in was under the jurisdiction of the Jiangcheng Demon Authority along with the Special Task Force that Jiang Greed served in. As a colleague, he naturally knows that this little taotie looks glamorous on the surface, but is actually very poor behind the scenes, and often can't even afford to eat. The Dragon Palace that do not rest assured that this brother, but also secretly asked him to take care of a little more.
  
  Director Hu felt that the opportunity to take care of the little taotie had come. In order for the new rules to be implemented smoothly, he set up a bachelor's allowance, and the demons who succeeded in getting married could go to the Family Planning Office together to receive 10,000 allowances. And Jiang Greed, as an ancient demon, as long as he took a good lead and set an example for all the demon clans, he would be able to reward 10,000, and if he succeeded in getting a blind date, he would add another 10,000 more.
  
  Of course, the extra ten thousand allowance was subsidized from his private pocket. When Jiang Greed heard about it, he was really moved.
  
  Jiang Greed now serves in the Special Duty Group, the Special Duty Group to take those tasks, the danger is big bonus is also high, that is, prefer extravagant ancient demon is also enough to live a very nourishing. But Jiang Greed is not an ordinary demon, Taotie since the beginning of the birth, will have the ability to devour everything, this ability makes him strong, but also let him never eat enough. Everything in the world is food in the eyes of a Taotie who can't get enough. In the ancient times, Taotie was classified as one of the ferocious beasts, together with Chaos, Poor Qi and Legend as the "four ferocious beasts", because the hungry Taotie would not eat anything.
  
  Of course, in the ancient times, nowadays it is a socialist society, and the demon race is mostly quality demons who have received nine years of compulsory education and socialist culture. Since Jiang Greed arrived in human society, he has abided by the rules of the demon race, and is a good and law-abiding demon. It was that he ate too much, and the high bonuses of the special task force were not enough to build it. And high-level tasks are not always available, often half a year does not open, open to eat half a year. Jiang Greed usually can only rely on the basic salary to barely maintain life this way.
  
  The bonus promised by Director Hu is a lot of money in the eyes of Jiang Greed, who hasn't been on a mission lately! As long as you go to a blind date to go through the motions, you will have ten thousand, not to go for nothing.
  When we have money, my brother can buy as many roasted pig's feet as he wants!
  
  And so ginger-bow-down-to-the-RMB-greed came to be. It doesn't matter if you're off the hook or not, it's the money that counts.
  
  The elevator stopped on the fifth floor and Ginger Greed went straight to the promised restaurant.
  
  Blind date location in a very stylish western restaurant, restaurant environment is very quiet, the staff warm and polite, Jiang Greed previous broad time to come to this restaurant, and the environment and service is directly proportional to its expensive price. Thinking about the balance in the card, Jiang Greed's heart is a little weak.
  
  Under the guidance of the waiter, Jiang Greed found the card seat, Jiang Greed saw a young man already waiting, it should be his blind date should be the highest peak. Director Hu said that the highest peak is a big man that she used a big favor to invite, he is rich and has a good face, so Jiang Greed must take advantage of it.
  
  Jiang Greed politely greeted the other party, "Hello, I'm Jiang Greed."
  
  Ying Peak looked at the watch on his wrist, the time was no more or less, just eleven o'clock. His face was a little less impatient, and with a nod of his chin, he said, "I'm Ying Peak, have a seat. I've already ordered the dishes."
  
  Ginger Greed let out an "oh" and sat down across from him. His eyes did not shy away from sizing him up.
  
  Director Hu did not lie to him, Ying Peak was indeed good looking. Compared to his brothers who had outstanding looks, his face value could also be ranked in the top three. The eyes are narrow and upturned, lips slightly pursed, looking not very good with the appearance. However, Jiang Greed has always been good-tempered, and there are colleagues in the Special Duty Unit who are even more eccentric and difficult to deal with, so he was not surprised by his cold face. Retracted the measuring gaze, sitting like a good boy and waiting for the food to be served.
  
  While Jiang Greed was sizing himself up, Ying Peak also observed Jiang Greed unabashedly.
  
  This blind date he was completely forced to come, he owed Hu Can a favor, this time Hu Can and out of the moth, begging him to take the lead as an example, he in order to return the favor, had to come to a trip. In spite of this, he did not take this blind date seriously, is to go through the motions to cope with it. He did not even bother to look at the information that Hu Can sent to his blind date.
  
  Looking at the opposite side of Jiang Greed, the highest peak of the highest peak in the heart of the other side from head to toe to pick once - hairstyle seems to be out of the door casually with the hand grabbed, styling did not do; yellow sweater with black overalls, but a luxury brand of seasonal new, but wrinkled and even ironing are not. Not to mention carrying a shoulder bag, all the body permeated with a childish air.
  
  The highest peak should be thoughtlessly, presumably is a just entered the society of the cubs. The family has some money, but they have little taste, fortunately, a face with a good length, so that the big brand did not wear out the feeling of stall goods. Big eyes, double eyelids, lips a little meat, looking at a good boy, is very pleasing to the eye kind of looks.
  As picky as Ying Peak was, he couldn't help but have a little more patience when it came to this face.
  
  The waiter brought up the appetizers and main dishes one after another, Ying Peak was not talkative, and Jiang Greed did not know what to say on a blind date, so he dined in silence.
  
  The dishes in this western restaurant tasted very good, Jiang Greed ate very seriously, and even took advantage of Ying Peak's inattention to feed small pieces of steak to the mythical beast in his pocket. Mythical Geibi was the eighth in line in the family, and apart from Pepper Figure, he was the youngest. He had been unable to take human form since he was retrieved, and had regressed back to the time when he was a weak cub and needed to be taken care of. He used to love to stick to Jiang Greed, when Jiang Greed left the Dragon Palace, he noisily followed him, and when Jiang Greed took him to the Demon Management Bureau to register his information, he deliberately used the same surname as Jiang Greed, and named him Jiang Yan.
  
  The steak was so tender and juicy that Jiang Greed took a bite for himself and fed the animal a bite. He thought that Ying Peak didn't notice, even the corners of his mouth curved up in a happy arc.
  
  Ying Peak watched all of this, his eyes subtly glancing towards his pocket, it was a fist-sized lion cub with yellowish brown fur, half-rounded ears, and almond shaped golden pupils that were open and rounded, if it had a human form, it would be eating with an expression that looked exactly like the one of the ginger greed that he had been secretly feeding. He let out a "tsk" in his heart, and couldn't help but reevaluate Jiang Greed.
  
  He originally thought that the blind date that Hu Can arranged for him shouldn't be too bad. But now it seemed that he had taken it for granted, Jiang Greed was clearly just an ordinary and even a little downtrodden little lion demon. He also brought his younger brother along on the blind date to dally with food and drink, so his finances should be in dire straits. Looking at the crumpled luxury brand on his body, Ying Peak rarely laughed at himself when he also looked away, this is really a cottage. That is, Jiang Greed looks too good, only to wear the cottage goods out of the big brand's temperament.
  
  I didn't realize that the ordinary demon race had such a hard time, and as hard-hearted as Ying Peak, he couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy. He pretended not to notice, and waited for them to finish sharing a whole steak and the waiter to serve dessert before clearing his throat and talking about business. His original plan had been to reveal his identity and tell the other man to back off. But now looking at the downtrodden brothers, rare born a trace of softness, can not bear to frustrate the little demon's self-esteem, to the end of the head to change a set of euphemism to persuade to leave the rhetoric.
  
  "After we finish eating, let's talk about our respective situations." He stretched his limbs and sat up straight haughtily, his long legs folded, leaning slightly to gaze at Jiang Greed and said, "I'm a Snake orphan, working in a private company, no house, no car, my salary is three thousand a month, and I didn't pay the five insurance and one gold because it's too expensive. How about you?"
  
  Ying Peak looked at Jiang Greed's stunned expression and was slightly satisfied in his heart. Saying this would not irritate this little demon's pride, but would also tell him to voluntarily give up the blind date. He could also deal with the noisy Hu Can. Three birds with one stone.
  
  Jiang Greed looked at Ying Peak with eyes full of shock, but in his heart, he was thinking that Ying Peak was so poor that he still dared to come to such an expensive restaurant to eat, he was definitely a loser, they couldn't possibly be!
  
  He is already struggling to support himself, Ying Peak's salary is so low and his consumption is so extravagant, even 20,000 allowances can't bridge the gap between them. Jiang Greed's mind quickly turned, quickly had a response to say, he is not good at lying, so he lowered his eyes half-truthfully and half-falsely followed Ying Peak's words, "I work in the Hanyang Street Office, a temporary worker with no establishment, a daily salary of eighty, and there are still eight brothers in the family relying on me to support them."
  
  Ying Peak looked at Jiang Greed with a complicated expression. Jiang Greed was probably the poorest demon he had ever come into contact with. Eighty dollars a day, enough for the brothers to eat? No wonder the blind date to eat a meal but also quietly feed the younger brother.
  
  If not the words have been said, he would like to ask Jiang Greed to go to work in his own company, that is, as an ordinary clerk, but also more than the temporary laborer to earn more. However, before the words have been said out, he is not good to backtrack to hit his own face, then obediently frowned to make a difficult look: "I want to find a stable job object, you ...... we are afraid that it is not very suitable."
  
  Jiang Greed didn't think that he, a social animal with a monthly salary of three thousand, would still dare to dislike himself as a temporary worker, but that would be to his liking. He pursed his lips and said, "It's not quite right."
