Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Jul 19, 2023


  When he reached the subway station, Kang Greed's cell phone rang. He glanced at it and it was from his elder brother, Bi Xi (bixi). It had been almost a year since he left the Dragon Palace to live on his own, and his elder brother was still uneasy, calling him every three days.
  
  The brothers talked for a while, then returned to the old cliché.
  
  "I can take care of myself,"
  Jiang Greed pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth turned downward in some frustration, "I can't stay in the Dragon Palace for the rest of my life and not come out. Besides, Bai Ze also said that my turnaround is among the human race."
  
  Taotie was the son of a dragon, but he was also a ferocious beast. Dragons have been auspicious beasts since ancient times, and Jiang Greed has had two forces tugging at his body since he became conscious. In ancient times it was the instincts of the ferocious beasts that drove him. Later on, when the Dragon Clan found him and his elder brother, Bi Xi, brought him back to the Dragon Palace, the auspicious energy of the Dragon Clan in his body gradually overpowered the ferociousness. He loved his time in the Dragon Palace, but Taotie's instincts reminded him all the time that even if he tried hard to disguise himself as harmless, one day he would lose control of his instincts and destroy everything he held dear.
  
  Ginger Greed dreaded such a vision, and he had always done his best to suppress his instincts, but in recent years, his hunger had grown stronger and harder to suppress. It was as if there was another voice in his head compelling him to devour everything. He always remembered that his big brother had taken him to see Bai Ze when he first brought him home, and at that time Bai Ze had said to him, "Remember, Taotie is greedy by nature, but you're not Taotie, don't be compelled, you're just you."
  
  Jiang Greed listened in confusion, but Bai Ze refused to say more. Just from then on, he named himself Jiang Greed to keep himself on his toes.
  
  Until a year ago, he felt that the hunger in his body was becoming more and more difficult to suppress, and went to see Bai Ze once more. At that time, the all-knowing Bai Ze was already a bit confused, rarely awake. When he saw him, he only said, "Your chance is in the human race", and then fell into a deep sleep.
  
  That's why Jiang Greed made up his mind to come out from the Dragon Palace and crawl around in human society alone. It was only because he wanted to be Jiang Greed, not Taotie, the ferocious beast that people and demons were afraid of in ancient times.
  
  At the mention of Bai Ze, Bi Xi really stopped trying to persuade him to go home. Jiang Greed heard him sigh on the other end of the phone and asked again, "I heard Can Hu say that you're planning to get another part-time job?"
  
  Speaking of this Jiang Greed finally happy, even if he tried to suppress it, the slightly curved corners of his lips still leaked some smugness: "Already found, I got into the establishment of the Hanyang Street Office, after the first of May, I can go and report."
  
  In the past few years, China's major and minor events are endless, the security department in order to maintain social harmony to stop the rise of inhuman creatures, such as the street office of such inconspicuous small units have also arranged manpower. Not only human beings to test the career program, the demon race and cultivators are also crowded head to grab a few places. Jiang Greed's idea was that since the task force's mission was unstable, he would go to the grassroots level and take the initiative to look for work on his own. Although it's probably just a few small demons and little kids getting things done, but a little goes a long way, and you can count on performance and bonuses.
  
  Jiang Greed couldn't help but smile and bend his eyes when he thought of his new life ahead.
  
  Even the mythical beast in his pocket couldn't help but reveal half of his furry little head and chimed in, "Fifth Brother is super awesome!"
  
  Jiang Greed glanced around and quickly pressed his bubbling brother back. Bi Xi's tone on the phone also lightened up and said, "Since you want to go, go, it's going to be hot soon, I'll ask Uncle Gui to send over the summer clothes he bought for you and Xiaoba."
  
  This time, Ginger Greed didn't refuse any more, and gave a "hmm" before hanging up the phone.

  Jiang Greed lives in Hanyang District, Jiahe Jingyuan, is an old neighborhood. However, the green environment is very good, most of the residents are locals, are very kind, at that time, Jiang Greed at a glance like this place, taking advantage of the bonus issued in one breath to buy a house. Now it seems he did the right thing. If he had been a human or some small demons, having his own house and a stable job would have been a very good life. Jiang Greed was contented and very satisfied with the status quo. It would be even better if his stomach didn't tell him he was hungry all the time.
  
  When he returned home, the mythical beast climbed from his pocket and squatted on Jiang Greed's shoulder, he rubbed his furry head against Jiang Greed's face and grunted, "Fifth Brother, I'm hungry." The steak just now didn't fill him up at all.
  
  "You eat the cupcake first." Jiang Greed gave him the packed cake and went to rummage around for food himself. These human foods were delicious, but for him it was just a taste, and to really fill his stomach, he still had to eat something with aura.
  
  Jiang Greed rummaged around for half a day and turned out the last five pieces of jade. This was what he had spent a lot of money to buy back. He did some math and broke the jade in half, turning it into ten pieces, so one piece a day would be enough to last him ten days until he got paid. He went back to look at the food in the refrigerator, there were still frozen dumplings and soup dumplings, there was also a box of instant noodles, and there was enough for the animal to eat.
  
  He swallowed a piece of jade in one gulp, first calming his tummy that was in an uproar. Putting the remaining nine pieces away carefully, he squatted down and stroked the animal's little head, "Do you want to eat beef dumplings or pork and cabbage dumplings today?"
  
  The animal tilted its head and thought seriously, saying, "I'm tired of meat fillings, so I'll eat something vegetarian today, just water chestnut dumplings."
  
  Kang Greed then got up and went to cook him dumplings. The animal ate half of the cupcake and saved half of it, pushing it to Jiang Greed when he came over with the dumplings. Jiang Greed pinched his brother's cheeks and smiled, "You eat, it's not like I'm full from this."
  
  The animal's cheeks were pinched, so his speech was a bit leaky, and he looked milky, "You too!"
  
  Jiang Greed didn't fight with him, and took a bite of his own, feeding the rest into the animal's mouth. The animal's mouth was stuffed to the brim, and his big golden eyes glared at him unhappily. Jiang Greed smiled and rubbed him, urging him to eat the dumplings while they were still hot, and nestled himself into the sofa to play with his cell phone.
  
  Just as he picked up his cell phone, Director Hu's call came in. Jiang Greed waited for a moment before answering the phone with a bit of trepidation.
  
  Director Hu had really come to ask about blind dates. He had previously praised Ying Peak to the skies and the earth, so Jiang Greed couldn't say that Ying Peak's monthly salary of 3,000 dollars was still a particular loser. She could only follow Director Hu's words and praise Ying Peak, then summarized, "Ying Peak doesn't think we're a good match."
  
  "How can it be unsuitable?" Director Hu chattered on the phone, "I've had the moon lords look at it, and they all say that your marriage lines are on each other!"
  
  Jiang Greed: "...... "Isn't the moon elder in charge of human's marriage destiny? I've never heard of any great demon looking for a mate by letting the Moon Elder look at the marriage destiny.
  
  However, he couldn't refute anything as he was short-handed. Only ah ah ah perfunctory, listening to the phone on the other side of the director Hu alone to make a long speech.
  
  Director Hu chattered on the phone for a long time, as if he suddenly figured out what the trick was, and hammered out, "It's about the future of the demon race, and this must be a good start. I first go to find the highest peak to talk about, if it is really not suitable, you two will act for a while or not, such as our work after the smooth unfolding, with you how to do anything ......."
  
  Jiang Greed was just about to refuse when he heard him add, "Of course it's not a wasted performance, I'll call you the rest of the 10,000 bonus right here."
  
  "......" Swallowing back the refusal that was on his lips, Ginger Greed said, "Good."
  
  Director Hu hung up the phone with satisfaction, and a few minutes later Jiang Greed's WeChat received a transfer reminder.
  
  Jiang Greed looked at his younger brother who was looking at him with a curious face and joyfully touched his little head, saying, "Tomorrow, we'll take you to eat roasted pig's feet."
  
  The animal's eyes lit up and he happily jumped into his lap and rolled around.

  Ying Peak s message came at night, and Jiang Greed didn t know how Director Hu convinced him. Ying Peak WeChat sent him a sentence: Hu Can has looked for you? How about making do and dealing with him first?
  
  Called Director Hu by his first name, followed by an emoticon of frowning impatience, presumably annoyed.
  
  His WeChat avatar is a golden dragon tail, scales of brilliant gold, brown tail hair smooth. Jiang Greed clicked to look at it and thought to himself that every snake tribe really aspires to the dragon tribe, he muttered in his heart and returned in his hand: ...... Good.
  
  It's an act anyway, and he's not losing out.
  
  On the other hand, Ying Peak replied "hmm" and asked him where he lived and if he was free tomorrow, he would see him again.
  
  Ginger Greed then sent him the location in passing.
  
  Should the highest peak looked at the positioning sent over, two thick black sword eyebrow tightly frowned, thinking that so old and so remote neighborhood, this little monster is also too poor a little bit, maybe it is still a rented house.
  
  Chen Painting, who was giving him scale maintenance, teased, "Did Hu Can come to trouble you again?"
  
  Hu Can is the last nine-tailed fox in Qingqiu, in the ancient countless demon clan dispersed in the world, they are more or less between these surviving demons have some dealings. Foxes and good at camping, Hu Can in the Demon Authority mixed a director position, has been manipulating an elder's heart, committed to revitalizing the demon race, so every now and then have to make a bit of a mess.
  
  Some time ago, he participated in a few human forum meetings and felt that the decline of the demon race was due to the fact that their numbers were too small. Look at the human race, although the life expectancy is short and will not cultivate, but the number of people ah! Passed down from generation to generation, they had developed from the weakest race into a powerful race that did not fear the gods or demons today. Even the surviving demons have to rely on the human race's luck to protect them.
  
  Hu Can was very envious and decided to learn from the human race. So there was the stupid rule of "no singles in the demon race".
  
  Chen Painting said, "That is, Tai Feng spoiled him." Tai Feng, the god of auspiciousness, was a daoist couple with the nine-tailed fox of Qingqiu, and now Tai Feng was the director of the Jiangcheng Demon Authority.
  
  Ying Peak let out a cold snort and shook his dragon tail, which was extraordinarily golden after maintenance, "I owe him a favor, so it's good to pay him back this time. I won't have to worry about anything when I beat him up next time."
  
  Chen painted gloatingly laughed: "More flirty operation, sooner or later to be beaten." After laughing and gossiped: "You really went on a blind date? Who is it?"
  
  Ying Peak shook his cell phone, gave him a sidelong glance, and said, "It's a small demon of the Lion Clan, but it's not obnoxious,"
  
  "A little demon of the Lion Clan?" Chen Painting looked surprised. He thought that Hu Can had to at least find one that was a good match for Ying Long, right? Finding an ordinary little demon was a bit too shabby, no wonder Ying Long wanted to beat him up, it really wasn't wrong.
  
  Ying Peak remembered the way Jiang Greed secretly fed his brother while eating his steak, and his tightened brows couldn't help but stretch a bit as he faintly said, "Uh-huh. I still have things to do, let's talk about it some other time."
  
  After saying that, he picked up the car keys and left. Chen painting looked at his back and muttered how he looked like he was in a good mood.

  Jiang Greed and Ying Peak made an appointment to meet the next day, but this time it was Jiang Greed who set the place, and didn't go to the dead expensive western restaurant last time. Ying Peak thought of the last time the two AA, the little monster is estimated to be heartbroken, rare did not pick the small restaurant is not in the flow, go with him.
  
  The two are scheduled to meet in front of the mall.
  
  Jiang Greed was thinking about the roasted pig's feet, and took the animal out of the door early. Today he wore a lemon yellow round neck short-sleeved pants with white casual pants, and a shoulder bag slung over his chest, just so the animal can stay in the bag.
  
  The first thing I did was to go out on vacation. When he went downstairs, he happened to see two grandparents playing chess under the big banyan tree in front of the unit, surrounded by a circle of grandparents watching the game, and a birdcage hanging on the branches of the tree above the heads of the crowd, squatting a black pachyderm in the middle of the tree. Jiang Greed has been living here for almost a year, the neighbors of the district have mixed a familiar face, he paused in his footsteps, and went forward to say hello.
  
  He went over there just as a game of chess was ending. The chess player, Mr. Yao, lived across the street from him and greeted him with, "Little Jiang is going out?"
  
  "Well, meeting a friend." Jiang Greed replied with a smile, and asked seemingly offhandedly, "Is this pachyderm a new one you've raised? How come I haven't seen it before."
