    Chapter 5 Cheapskate

    After educating the little black dragon, Su Muluo remembered that Zheng Hechun and the others were still standing at the door, so he turned slightly and said, "Please come in."

    Zheng Hechun thanked him and walked in with the others. His face was calm and calm, but his movements were very careful, as if he was not walking into an ordinary rental house, but a dangerous place hidden everywhere.

    Su Muluo originally wanted to make tea to entertain the guests, but he remembered that he had no tea at all, but a few cans of milk, so he asked again: "Would you like milk?"

    Zheng Hechun waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, we are not thirsty, so I won't bother you." They didn't dare to let him actually pour water for them, after all, the real dragon in the other person's hand was staring coldly.They are.

    Su Muluo didn't force himself, nodded, and sat across from them with the little black dragon.

    The living room was quiet for a second, and Zheng Hechun smiled again and said, "Did you just come to Lincheng? I haven't seen you before."

    When he first met Su Muluo, he noticed that the other person was wearing a bracelet issued by the alien bureau on his wrist. He also knew that only demons who had been in the world for less than a year needed to wear this kind of mana monitoring bracelet.

    Su Muluo said: "Yes, I just went to the Alien Bureau to register yesterday."

    He is not afraid that the Alien Bureau will find out his true identity, because the Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan have long ceased to exist in the eyes of the world, and with the strength of these human monks, they cannot see through his true identity.

    When the old rabbit demon helped him sell feathers, he only said they were the feathers of the thousand-year-old demon. After all, the Phoenix clan has fallen for many years. As the only remaining phoenix, his identity may cause a lot of trouble after his identity is revealed - and now the little oneThe black dragon had just broken out of its shell, and it was even more impossible for him to reveal his identity. That would definitely cause another uproar, which would be detrimental to both him and his dragon.

    Zheng Hechun was slightly surprised, and obviously thought it was a coincidence, but he quickly said calmly: "So that's it, do you plan to live in Lincheng forever?"

    He didn't intend to check Sumuluo's registered identity. After thinking about it, he knew that it would be impossible for such a gentleman to leave his true identity information, and the headquarters had already given instructions to show goodwill to the real dragon. If they could win over more people,Well, if you can't, don't offend - as long as the two parties don't conflict and can live in peace, that's the best outcome.

    Su Muluo thought for a moment and said, "I should stay here for a while, and I also plan to open a coffee shop."

    "..." Zheng Hechun looked at the inscrutable Excellency in front of him and said the word "coffee shop" calmly, as if he saw a big devil who could destroy the world at any time and said that he wanted to farm in the countryside. He was silent for a few seconds.Seconds, he said, "Then, you should need a legal human identity."

    Speaking of this, he suddenly understood what Su Muluo meant.

    Su Muluo knew that the Yiren Bureau wanted to show goodwill to him, and also knew that the Yiren Bureau's attitude was biased toward coaxing. His words just now meant that he was willing to accept this invitation, because he also wanted something from the Yiren Bureau.

    In this way, things will be much easier to handle. Zheng Hechun's smile was a little more sincere and he said: "Generally speaking, if you want to open a store in a human city, you have to go through several reviews, but since it is your request, then we willWe will solve this matter for you as quickly as possible, and you don’t have to worry about any procedures, including applying for an ID card.”

    Su Muluo nodded slightly and said, "Thank you. You have helped me. Correspondingly, I will also help you if you are in need."

    He did not plan to join the Alien Bureau, but now that the identity of the little black dragon has been exposed, the Alien Bureau will definitely keep an eye on them.In this case, it is better for both parties to express goodwill to each other and cooperate friendly.

    Zheng Hechun was a little happy. This was the best result they had expected. After all, Su Muluo's promise not only included himself, but also the real dragon in his hands - of course they couldn't really ask Su Muluo to join the aliens.Bureau, but as long as this commitment is there, it is enough.

    Although the human-monsters have been at peace for many years, there are still undercurrents surging in invisible places. It is just because of the balance between the human-monsters for many years that they cannot cause too much trouble.Now that the real dragon appears in the world, the balance between humans and demons is likely to be broken, and may even be used by people with intentions, causing the two sides to return to the days of constant disputes and fighting each other... The consequences of that are simply unimaginable.

    That's why the headquarters is trying every possible means to win over the real dragon, because they believe that the real dragon is an entity that can break the balance. As long as the balance is not interfered with, the peace between humans and monsters can still be maintained.

    Now that he had received the promise, Zheng Hechun stood up and said goodbye to Su Muluo, and said that the ID card would be sent to him soon. If he wanted to open a store, there was no need to worry about the procedures.

    Su Muluo thanked him and stood up to send them to the door. When he walked out of the rental house and left this ordinary old-fashioned residential building, Zheng Hechun breathed out a breath and realized that he had no idea when he had left.Covered in cold sweat.

    "Tell the headquarters," he said with relief, "that the person accepted our goodwill and the danger is temporarily lifted."

    A monk next to him asked: "So, do those who stay around here want to evacuate?"

    "Don't do it for the time being. After all, it is a real dragon. We must not take it lightly." Zheng Hechun looked back at the community and then around, "Of course, that person should have noticed it, but since he didn't say anything, it means that he was able to allow it.In the range."

    The monk nodded and said with some emotion: "It seems that we still don't know enough about demons. We thought we had figured out their strength, but we didn't expect that such a being suddenly appeared... This is a demon with hundreds of thousands of years of existence.Is it a creature with a long lifespan? It’s so hidden.”

    Zheng Hechun was silent for a few seconds, shook his head, and sighed: "There is nothing we can do about it. In short, we must be more careful in the future..."

    "Director Zheng," at this moment, a female monk who had been deep in thought since she walked out of the rental house suddenly spoke, "I have a question."

    Zheng Hechun looked at her, and the female monk said: "I checked the information before coming here. It seems that there was a great demon of this size coming into the world 1,800 years ago. It was very similar to today... You must know that it can be of the same level as a real dragon.Yes, there is only Phoenix."

    Zheng Hechun's expression changed. The female monk paused and lowered her voice: "Could it be that the person we just met is the legendary Phoenix..."

    "No, it's impossible."

    Zheng Hechun took a deep breath, raised his hand and touched his forehead, and found that there was another layer of cold sweat quietly breaking out on it.

    "If it is a phoenix, then he will never allow the real dragon to live, and the same is true for the real dragon." He said, "The Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan had a blood feud long before they fell. They wish they could eat its blood and eat its flesh without breaking their bones and scattering ashes.After all, how can we be in the same room safely?"

    The female monk was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "I was negligent and forgot this."

    "No, you are careful enough, but we still know too little about demons." Zheng Hechun said, "Let's go back and report to the headquarters first. The rest of the matter... we will talk about it later."

    In the rental house, Su Muluo took off the bracelet issued by the alien bureau.Zheng Hechun told him before leaving that he no longer needed to wear the bracelet. This was the alien bureau's trust in him.

    Of course, it was trust on the surface, but Su Muluo didn't think that the Alien Bureau would really ignore him. At least in the next period of time, there would be a lot of hidden eyes around him.

    Now he has only reached an agreement with the Alien Bureau, and neither party completely trusts each other. As for what to do next, he still has to take it step by step.

    However, Su Muluo was not afraid of those people. At most, he just felt troublesome. He lowered his head to look at the little black dragon and poked it: "Look at you, little troublemaker."

    The little black dragon hummed a few times in frustration and hugged his Phoenix's hand again.

    Su Muluo touched its head, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to the coffee shop owner, telling him that he had decided to rent the coffee shop. Since the ID card would not be available until tomorrow, the two made an appointment to meet again tomorrow afternoon.

    The matter at the coffee shop was settled. Sumuluo clicked on the previous monster forum and entered one of the sections.

    When he went to visit the monster forum yesterday to see if there was a way to get his ID card faster, he accidentally discovered that the monster forum also had a special area, which was a help area for monsters.

    In this help area, monsters can hire other monsters to do things for them by posting messages.For example, if you are bullied by a big demon and need to hire a demon to bully you back, or you have a blood feud with a demon and want to ask other demons to solve the enemy... Although demons cannot harm humans, no one cares about disputes between demons.

    And because it is employment, the employment fee is also very high. Sumuluo has even thought about it. If the business of the coffee shop is really not good, then he will take some more difficult employment orders, and on the premise of collecting commission, he willThe other party came to his coffee shop to drink coffee and helped him promote it for free.

    Since you can't make money from other people, then make money from your own kind!Anyway, they make the same money!

    Thinking of this, Su Muluo was full of confidence and said to the little black dragon: "When you make money in the future, you can buy a bigger house."

    He had stayed in the human city for a few days, and he already liked it a little bit, and he was willing to continue to stay.And it is quite satisfying to buy a new house with the money you earn.

    The little black dragon raised his head and hummed, probably in agreement.Su Muluo watched it rubbing between his fingers and said with a smile, "But you still have to eat something. I'll check if there's anything I can do."

    He was still thinking that the little black dragon had just been born and hadn't eaten yet, so he checked online and found that he could make beef soup, and he happened to have some beef at home.

    Then he got up and went to the kitchen to wash his hands. The little black dragon also crawled onto his sleeves and lay there watching Phoenix make soup for it.

    Although this was the first formal cooking in a few days, Su Muluo learned things very quickly and could get started after seeing the recipe once. So after more than 20 minutes of tinkering in the kitchen, a bowl of beef soup was ready.It's done.

    The color is just a little weird, but other than that, everything else is normal.

    Little Black Dragon: "..."

    Su Muluo said: "Don't you want to try it?"

    The little black dragon looked at the bowl of strangely colored beef soup, then at Sumuluo, at the beef soup, and then at Sumuluo.

    Su Muluo said: "It smells delicious, don't you want to try it?" Then he pushed the bowl of beef soup in front of the little black dragon.

    Little Black Dragon: "..."

    The little black dragon gave a pitiful "squeak", lowered his head slowly, and took a sip of beef soup.

    Then he took another sip.

    It’s actually really delicious!

    The little black dragon was extremely surprised. He buried his head in the bowl and swung the tip of his tail while drinking. His dark golden dragon eyes narrowed with satisfaction.

    Su Muluo raised her eyebrows and looked at the tip of the little black dragon's tail that was swinging around. She couldn't help but reach out and want to pinch it.

    Then the little black dragon put its tail away.

    Su Muluo: "?"

    He said: "Can't you give me a squeeze?"

    The little black dragon chirped wah wah.

    Su Muluo: "Just a moment, a small moment."

    The little black dragon hugged its tail tightly.

    Su Muluo: "...Tsk, so stingy."

    Then the beef soup was taken away.

    Little Black Dragon: "???"

    Su Muluo said: "Who told you not to pinch my tail?"

    But with that said, he was definitely not willing to let the little black dragon starve, so he took the beef soup back.

    The little black dragon looked at him for a few seconds, then carefully hid the tip of his tail and continued to drink the soup.

    The amount of beef soup was quite large. After drinking a bowl, the little black dragon had a round belly and lay down in Sumuluo's palm, letting out a small burp.

    Su Muluo rubbed its belly, and the little black dragon snorted comfortably and twisted around affectionately in his palm.

    Su Muluo stared at the little dragon for a while, then raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Little earthworm."

    Little Black Dragon: "?"

    "It's just a little bigger than an earthworm, but it doesn't look much like it," Su Muluo said with a smile in his eyes, "So it's still a small loach."

    Little Black Dragon: "???"

    The little black dragon was going to be furious. If anyone dared to say that to it in front of it, it would have been swallowed up by it long ago. But it happened to be its phoenix who said this... So it could only hold its breath and say nothing.The nest became a ball.

    If you are unhappy, if you are unhappy, you want a kiss or a hug.

    Su Muluo laughed out loud, rubbed its little head, and said, "So remember to grow bigger quickly. I was bigger than you when I was just born."

    The little black dragon hummed and buried his head in Su Muluo's palm, pretending not to hear.

    At night, Su Muluo took a bath. As soon as he returned to bed, he saw the little black dragon getting out of the quilt. When he entered the bathroom just now, the little black dragon tried to hide in his pajamas and go in with him.He mercilessly pulled her out and threw her on the bed.

    Su Muluo lay down on the comfortable bed, watching the little black dragon happily curling up next to him, and thought for a moment: "I feel like you can't sleep next to me, what if I turn over and crush you while I'm asleep.""After all, the little black dragon has just been born and is still very small. It will be very dangerous if it is really crushed.

    When the little black dragon heard this, he immediately hugged his fingers and said "ouch" to show that he was not afraid of being crushed.

    Su Muluo stared at it for a few seconds, feeling inexplicably that he was being taken advantage of. Although he and the dragon were nominally partners, after all, there was no formal marriage ceremony.

    They moved in together without any ceremony and even slept on his bed!

    That does not work!

    When turning off the lights, Su Muluo thought so.

    When one day his dragon can turn into a human form, he must be rushed to another room... Wait, there doesn't seem to be another room here.

    Then let him sleep on the sofa.

    With this thought in mind, Su Muluo closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

    ——And I don’t know if he was thinking about his little black dragon before going to bed. He had another dream tonight, about the man whose face could not be seen clearly, but who had a pair of dark golden eyes.

    The man was still sitting next to him this time. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he looked in a good mood and stared at him unblinkingly with his eyes burning.

    Su Muluo didn't want to see him, so she immediately moved to the side. Unexpectedly, the man was faster and immediately grabbed his wrist.

    Su Muluo: "Let go."

    "Hold on." There was a slight smile in the man's voice. He looked at Su Muluo intently for a few seconds and then said, "Let me touch your feathers."

    Su Muluo: "?"

    Is he familiar with this person?

    Neuropathy?

    The man said: "Just a moment, a small moment."

    Su Muluo felt that these words were familiar for some reason, but he didn't think much about it. Instead, he said very coldly: "No, go away quickly, I will ignore you."

    His feathers are beautiful, but they are too precious to be touched by others.

    The man "tsk" when he heard this, and then as if he had been prepared for it, he couldn't wait to say the second half of the sentence: "So stingy."

    Su Muluo was silent for a moment.

    He suddenly knew why these words sounded familiar.

    The man continued: "I can't even touch the feathers. I'm so stingy."

    Su Muluo: "..."

    Tsk.

    The words he once said were now said by this person, and for a moment... he was unable to refute it.
