Chapter 2 Dragon

Chapter 2 Dragon

Although the two eggs looked very similar at first glance, Su Muluo had carried the dragon eggs with him for so many years, so it was impossible to tell them apart - so he touched them and found that his dragon eggs still felt better.Smooth and comfortable, unlike duck eggs, which are a bit rough.

Now that he had distinguished the dragon eggs from the duck eggs, Su Muluo put the duck eggs aside and touched the dragon eggs comfortingly.

The dragon egg was touched by him quietly, motionless and looking dull.

Su Muluo said: "Are you angry again?"

Dragon Egg remained silent.

Su Muluo knew that it was angry. She must have felt that her phoenix had been dazzled as soon as it arrived in the colorful world. She had forgotten that it was a wretched husband and mistook it for other wild duck eggs. It was almost aggrieved.died.

Thinking of this, Su Muluo couldn't help laughing, lowered his head and kissed the dragon egg, and said, "Kiss you so you don't get angry anymore, okay?"

Dragon Egg: "..."

The dragon egg lay crookedly in Sumuluo's palm and rolled slowly in a circle.

Well, I reluctantly forgive you.

Su Muluo curled up the corners of his mouth and carried his dragon egg into the kitchen to continue cooking.

Originally, he planned to fry some duck eggs for lunch, but because he almost blew up the kitchen just now and he still had lingering fears about snacks, he decided to forget it and just boil the duck eggs casually.

The hot water is boiling in the pot, making a gurgling sound, and the duck eggs are also tumbling in the water.Su Muluo stood aside and looked at the duck eggs for a while, then looked down at the dragon eggs. A bold idea suddenly came to his mind: "Can you be cooked?"

The dragon egg remained motionless.

Su Muluo poked it and said, "If I cook you, will you break your shell?"

The dragon egg remained motionless.

Su Muluo asked strangely: "Why are you ignoring me?"

The dragon egg just didn't move.

Su Muluo: "?"

It stands to reason that Long Dan is no longer angry with him, but now he refuses to answer after hearing his words. Why?

Su Muluo thought for a few seconds, then tentatively said, "Isn't what I said true?"

The dragon egg remained motionless.

Su Muluo suddenly felt very suspicious, and wanted to throw the dragon egg into the water to try it on the spot, but he restrained himself. After all, what if he accidentally cooked the dragon egg - although he alsoI don’t think dragon eggs can be cooked casually.

After a while, the duck eggs seemed to be cooked. Su Muluo cracked them open and tasted the taste. He suddenly frowned: "It tastes bad."

Unexpectedly, the duck eggs looked round and cute, but in fact they were not delicious at all.Su Muluo threw the remaining half of the duck egg into the trash can and decided not to eat at noon.

Then he sat on the sofa with Dragon Egg, took out his mobile phone, and continued to explore this magical box that he was not familiar with yet.

Dragon Egg probably felt that the sofa was soft and rolled around on it. Su Muluo tapped it lightly with his finger and said, "I'm going to find a job in a few days. I can't keep making money by selling feathers."

The old rabbit demon said that his feathers were very valuable, one feather was worth millions, but since he had to live in a human city, he couldn't do it without a job. Moreover, he cherished his feathers and was reluctant to sell too many.

In order to express his agreement, Long Dan rolled around in a circle. Su Muluo thought about it and said, "What do you think about the coffee shop?"

This morning he came across a coffee shop that was to be transferred. He was actually not unfamiliar with coffee, because before going down the mountain, he heard the old rabbit demon mention that young people in the city like to drink coffee and milk tea - from this point of view, opening a coffee shopA coffee shop should be very profitable.

Dragon Egg still had no objection and rubbed it against Su Muluo's palm. Su Muluo happily put it into his pocket, stood up and went out.

A few minutes later, he came to the coffee shop he passed in the morning again. The owner had woken up and was teasing the orange cat next to him with a small dried fish. However, the orange cat had a cold face and was unmoved.

Su Muluo walked into the shop. Before he could say anything, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up. He put down the dried fish and stood up: "Would you like something to drink?"

"No, no need." Su Muluo shook his head and said, "I saw the transfer advertisement posted outside your store and wanted to know more about it."

The shop owner was not disappointed after hearing this, but was very surprised and asked: "You want to take over this shop?"

Su Muluo said "hmm", and the shop owner was even more surprised: "No, you are young, why can't you think about it?"

Su Muluo was silent for a moment and said, "You look quite young." And he is not young at all, he is already 1,800 years old.

The shop owner sighed, touched his slightly delicate hairline, and said, "You don't understand, I'm already here...so do you really want to take over this shop?"

Su Muluo glanced at his hairline, and after a few seconds, nodded.

The shopkeeper said: "Then you can take a look with me first."

This coffee shop is not big, but the decoration is exquisite and elegant, and the air is filled with a faint aroma of coffee.Su Muluo followed the shop owner and listened to his introduction: "The decoration here is very good, right? I hired a designer to design it specially. Look, this is the coffee area, and behind the small secret door is the storage room.There is also a lounge inside for employees to take a rest...but, well, because I can't pay wages, the employees left early."

Su Muluo asked curiously: "Why, doesn't the coffee shop make money?"

The shop owner shook his head and said: "It's so easy to make money these days. Young people nowadays still prefer to go to milk tea shops than coffee shops. Moreover, my coffee beans are carefully selected, and the cost is high and the price is high.They are not willing to come... Speaking of which, this place is close to the city center and the land price is very expensive. I bought this store on impulse, but the money I make every month is not enough to pay off the mortgage."

Su Mu was silent. If he really couldn't make any money in the future, he might have to sell his feathers again... Phoenix could only pluck feathers to make a living, which was very miserable when he thought about it.

Seeing that he was silent, the shop owner thought he was hesitant because he was worried that the price was too high, and then said: "But if you really want to take over this shop, I can sell it to you at a reduced price. If you don't have enough money, I can also rent it toYou, even if I make an investment, just give me some dividends when the time comes."

After he finished speaking, he quoted his rental price, which was indeed a very cheap price, which is very rare in a place close to the center of Lincheng City.

Su Muluo silently checked what dividends are on his mobile phone, and then said: "But how can you repay the mortgage like this? What if I can't make any money in the future and there is no dividends?"

Hearing this, the shop owner sighed again, with a sad look on his face: "It doesn't matter whether it's money or not, I just hope someone will continue to open this coffee shop, because it used to be my dream, and I don't have much time left..."

Su Muluo was slightly surprised. Just as he was about to say "Sorry", he heard the shop owner add: "In half a month, I will go back to my dad's company to work."

Su Muluo: "..."

The shop owner said: "Although I can't realize my dream, as long as someone helps me go on, it will not be shattered - so, are you willing to be the person who helps me?"

"...I'm willing," Su Muluo said, "but I need some time." Renting a store should require a contract, and signing the contract requires an ID card, but he doesn't have one yet.

After hearing this, the shop owner was a little entangled and said: "Then it's best not to exceed half a month. My father's death order for me is half a month. When the time is up, I will have to be tied back by him."

Su Muluo didn't know if this time was enough. After thinking for a few seconds, he agreed: "Okay, I will contact you within half a month."

The shop owner nodded with relief, then took out his cell phone and said, "Let's exchange contact information - by the way, do you mind if there are multiple cats in the store?"

Su Muluo: "What?"

The shopkeeper glanced at the orange cat next to the counter and lowered his voice with some embarrassment: "My parents hate cats the most. I will definitely not be able to keep a cat after I go back this time, so I can only keep Chitose here... But Chitose is very good.It doesn’t make any noise and won’t run around. It’s the mascot of the store. Every customer who came here likes it very much. If you keep it, the business will definitely get better and better!”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Su Muluo longingly, looking reluctant and sincere.Su Muluo turned his attention to the orange cat named "Chitose" and saw the orange cat looking out at the street indifferently, as if he had not heard the conversation between the two at all.

"But aren't you afraid that it will be sad?" Su Muluo looked at the shopkeeper again and said, "Cats are very spiritual. Maybe they have guessed that you are going to abandon them."

The shop owner was stunned after hearing this, and subconsciously looked at his orange cat. The orange cat also turned around at this time, and the eyes of each cat met. Soon, the shop owner lowered his head.

"...There's nothing I can do about it," he said in despair, "I'm not a good master, I can't even support myself, I can only rely on my parents... If one day I can make my own money, I can move from homeIf you go out, I will definitely bring it back!"

Su Muluo didn't say anything more after hearing this. After all, it was the other party's decision and he couldn't interfere, so he nodded and said: "Okay, if I can take over this store, I will keep it."

The two agreed to contact each other within half a month, and then Su Muluo said goodbye to the shop owner and returned to the rental house, opening a small package in his room.

Lying in the small package were several slender and beautiful white feathers, which he had dropped over the years. Phoenix feathers would not fall off easily, so he had only lost thirty in the past eighteen hundred years, and they were all taken care of.The ground is collected.

Sumu made the final decision. The old rabbit demon said that one of his feathers was worth millions, and the thirty feathers were actually enough for him to live in a human city for a long time - but selling feathers was the worst plan. If heIf you really can't make much money by opening a coffee shop, you can spend all the remaining money and go back to the mountains with the dragon eggs, which can be considered as experiencing life here.

Thinking of this, Su Muluo comforted himself silently. He didn't think much about money for the time being. The most important thing now was the ID card issue.He heard that if a demon wanted to have a proper identity in the human world, he had to register with a special organization called the Alien Bureau. He didn't know how to get there yet and needed to check.

Su Muluo took out his mobile phone and clicked on a special website. This website was also given to him by the old rabbit demon. It was said to be a forum specially set up for demons. He could find many things related to demons... Before long, heI found the location of the nearest Alien Bureau branch here.

It's just that the location is quite far from the rental house. He has already gone out twice today. He doesn't really want to go out again, so he is going to rest and register again tomorrow.

At night, Su Muluo walked into the bathroom holding a change of pajamas and a dragon egg.

The human bathroom is also very new to him. Although he has checked it on his mobile phone before and probably knows how to use it, he is still not used to the thing called "shower". After all, when he was in the mountains before, he wanted to clean his feathers.They all go to the hot springs in the mountains.

There is definitely no hot spring here, but there is a brand new bathtub. The landlord said that the previous tenant paid for it. However, something happened to the tenant's house just after it was installed. He had to check out without having time to use the bathtub..

Wow.

The bathtub was filled with hot water. The water temperature was slightly high, a little hot, but very comfortable. Sumuluo sank into the pool of hot water. Her soft black hair was wetted between her fair skin. She narrowed her eyes slightly and relaxed.tone.

The dragon egg was originally nestled in the pile of clothes next to the bathtub. When it found that the phoenix could not be next to it, it slowly rolled towards the bathtub, making a small splash with a "plop".

Su Muluo laughed, and pressed the dragon egg down gently. It sank, and after a few seconds, it floated up again, circling around Su Muluo.

Su Muluo looked at it, and suddenly remembered something after a few seconds, and said, "You can't see me, right?" - He had gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the hot spring in the mountains, so the hot spring water was hazy blue.It is not transparent, but the water here is just ordinary water, crystal clear, and people can see everything clearly when immersed in it.

The dragon egg's movements in circles paused slightly.

Su Muluo's eyes suddenly became dangerous: "Are you peeking at me?"

The dragon egg froze in place and sank with a gurgling sound after a few seconds.

Su Muluo: "You are indeed peeking at me!"

He grabbed the dragon egg and stuffed it into the pile of clothes next to him, and wrapped it tightly in clothes to prevent it from being exposed at all.

The dragon egg was wrapped up aggrievedly, and after a while, he tried hard to lift it out a little.

Then he was wrapped back by Su Muluo: "No peeking!"

Sure enough, he is not a serious dragon. He wants to peek at people taking a bath before they even break out of their shells!

If you can, break out of the shell first!

Su Muluo thought of this, patted the head of Dragon Egg, and said: "If you don't break out of the shell, I will find someone else to be my partner, and I won't want you anymore!"

Dragon Egg: "???"

Su Muluo: "Who said you are still an egg after so many years? Not to mention how small it is, it looks exactly like a duck egg. If the shell breaks, it will be a duck egg, and it won't look good." - Of course, this is also true.He was just talking, to get angry at the egg that peeked at him.

Dragon Egg: "???!!"

As expected, Dragon Egg was so angry that he rolled around in the pile of clothes angrily, and even jumped up on the spot again.

A smile flashed across Su Muluo's eyes, and he continued with a "You can't do anything to me anyway" look: "It's useless to be angry. If you have the ability, break out of the shell first."

Then, regardless of the dragon egg's fuss, he changed his clothes and carried it out.

The big bed in the bedroom is soft, and the sheets and bedding are all new.Su Muluo built a small nest with clothes and placed the dragon egg safely on it - so that the big bed would not be flat and it would accidentally roll off the bed and break into pieces.

The dragon egg must have been severely shocked, and it was motionless. Su Muluo lay down on the bed, touched its smooth eggshell, and said with a raised corner of his mouth: "Remember to break the shell tomorrow."

Then he turned off the light and closed his eyes.

Although it was his first time to sleep in a human city, because the bedding was soft and comfortable to lie on, Sumuluo slept very peacefully without any discomfort as expected.

But he also had a dream, in which a man in black, whom he had never met before, came from the mist in the distance and sat beside him silently.

Su Muluo tilted his head and looked at the man. He knew it was a dream because he couldn't see the man's face clearly. He could only see a pair of dark golden eyes, like a bottomless abyss, deep and obscure.

Su Muluo couldn't remember where he had seen this man, but he liked the man's aura very much. It was very familiar, as if he had seen him every day.

The world in the dream was very quiet. The man looked at Su Muluo without saying a word and never spoke. Su Muluo thought for a moment and broke the silence first: "Who are you?"

The man didn't answer.

Su Muluo asked again: "What are you doing in my dream?"

This time the man spoke, his voice was deep and pleasant, but for some reason, there was a hint of resentment in his tone: "The person I like doesn't want me anymore."

Su Muluo: "..."

He didn't know why he suddenly felt guilty. He coughed slightly, looked away and said, "Really? I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing."

The man continued: "He thinks I'm not good-looking and wants to run away with another wild man."

Su Muluo: "Ah...that's such a pity. My condolences."

man:"……"

He stopped talking again. Although his dark golden eyes were still emotionless, when he stared at Su Muluo without blinking, he felt a little aggrieved.

"..." Su Muluo was stared at by him and felt like a scumbag. He was silent for a few seconds, then blinked and said, "How about you talk about what happened between you two, and I can help you think of a solution?"

The man said: "No, I have already thought of a way."

Su Muluo thought to himself, why are you looking for me? He still smiled slightly and said, "Really? That's great. I wish you success."

He originally wanted to end the topic, but the man was obviously not happy and continued: "Don't you want to know what this method is?"

Su Muluo said "Hmm" and asked very patiently: "What is it?"

The man stared at Su Muluo for a while and said slowly: "The way is..."

——Then he suddenly came over and kissed the side of Su Muluo's face.

Su Muluo: "?"

At that moment, Phoenix almost exploded. Who knew that the man disappeared from the spot after the kiss and ran very fast - at the same time, this dream also ended.

"..."

The bedroom was very quiet in the morning, with hazy skylight shining through the curtains. Su Muluo sat up from the bed without saying a word, and looked down at the dragon egg beside the pillow.

The dragon egg stayed quietly in the small nest made of clothes, as if it hadn't woken up yet, looking cute and innocent.

Su Muluo knocked the dragon egg and said, "Are you up?"

The dragon egg rubbed against his palm very clingingly.

Su Muluo used the quilt to cover the dragon egg, not allowing it to peek. She changed her clothes, got out of bed, and walked into the kitchen with the dragon egg.

Dragon Egg nestled obediently in the palm of his Phoenix, watching him boil a pot of water, turn on the induction cooker, pour the hot water into the pot, wait for a few seconds, and the water in the pot began to boil.

Dragon Egg: "?"

It stared at the boiling water that was constantly steaming, and suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in its heart.

At this moment, Su Muluo pointed to the boiling pot and said to it expressionlessly, "Have you seen this pot?"

Dragon Egg: "..."

The next second, it was thrown into the pot with a "plop".
