You are not monster girls!

Chapter 177 The First Morning Sleeping Together (Please refresh, 4k, edited)

That night, Lin Muran had a very strange dream.

He dreamed of a jet-black dragon that was wrapping its tail around its body, which had somehow turned into bread.

Lin Muran felt uncomfortable being rolled up, so he moved the bread crust on top of him. He didn't know which part of the dragon he touched, but the dragon slapped him with its claw while panting.

After eating the bottom half of the bread, she tightened the restraints, wrapping Lin Muran up and down in it, and finally opened her blood-red mouth and spat out a mouthful of ink at him.

Then Lin Muran woke up.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating the floor and clearly showing the trails of dust particles dancing in the air.

The sounds of whistles and roars were replaced by birdsong and insect chirps, a natural symphony never heard in the bustling city.

My hand instinctively reached out and touched the side, but I didn't feel any cool scales. I didn't even know when the sheets had been pulled away. All I could touch was the rough surface of the mattress.

This dragon actually got up earlier than me!?

What time is it now?!

Lin Muran tried to get up, but suddenly felt a strange, dull pain all over her body, especially in her hands.

Not only were there teeth marks all over the surface, cut along the dotted lines, but there were also faint bruises on the wrists that hadn't faded yet.

Could it be that this dragon ate itself like a spicy snack while it was sleeping?
He then checked the rest of the body and found that not only the exposed parts were marked, but also the waist.

Cosplaying a top-tier Black General shouldn't be a problem now.

Well, thank goodness for Qingyi's feathers, otherwise Gao Di would have lost something.

Lin Muran wanted to put the feather away for a special occasion, but found it under her pillow.

He remained silent for a moment, then quietly put the feathers away, washed up, and prepared to go downstairs.

Sometimes, deceiving yourself isn't so bad.

On her way downstairs, Lin Muran was surprised to find that both the corridor and the walls were much cleaner than yesterday, and the suite on the second floor was almost tidied up as well. She glanced at her phone and saw that it was only nine o'clock, but it felt like a whole day had passed.

So, without realizing it, I quickened my pace downstairs to see if the spirit beasts had finished their breakfast.

Ordering takeout here isn't as convenient as it was at my old house.

"Yes, swipe here too. What, you're asking how much it costs? No problem, Lin Muran has already paid for it."

As soon as he reached the stairwell, he saw Bai Mengqing wielding a three-stroke brush, with a broom twirled around its tail, painting the walls and cleaning at the same time. Surprisingly, Sally was not sleeping and was standing behind him as a supervisor.

"And use your tail a little more force, you can't even sweep away the dust like that." Sally, thankfully with dark circles under her eyes, demonstrated how to sweep the floor to Bai Mengqing using her tail.

"I...I know, Lin Muran, what brings you here?!"

Bai Mengqing wagged its tail with some difficulty. As soon as it turned around, it met Lin Muran's gaze and froze on the spot.

Lin Muran:
Bai Mengqing: (⊙x⊙)
All that could be seen was Peggy, whose face was contorted by the pressure of her breasts, which were barely contained by her black shirt, and her dragon horns, which were practically just decorations.

At first glance, she appears to be a true dragon maid.

Bai Mengqing looked at Lin Muran's face, her green claws tugging at her skirt, her cheeks gradually flushing red as she twisted her body.
Is it... strange?

"I must be dreaming. I'm going to sleep now."

Bai Mengqing is going to be a dragon maid? How could I have such a dream?

Lin Muran glanced at Sally, who was smiling with her back turned, and then turned to go upstairs.

Bai Mengqing was so angry that she threw the pen at Lin Muran, but he caught it easily.

"Can't I just get up early and do the cleaning on a whim?!"

Lin Muran nodded.

"Hmph, I can't be bothered to explain to you."

Bai Mengqing didn't dare to look at Lin Muran's face, turned around and continued painting the wall, but for some reason the tail responsible for sweeping the floor started spinning in a spiral on the ground.

"Actually, this guy's ink works better than paint. I taught her how to clean, and she helped me repaint the dirty walls."

Sally placed the metal bucket containing ink next to Bai Mengqing so that she could easily dip her brush in the ink.

"But what if the house leaks? Won't the water just get washed away?"

Even now, Bai Mengqing's disguise is not waterproof; it turns into ordinary ink as soon as it comes into contact with water.

"That was before."

Bai Mengqing said somewhat irritably, "Right now, as long as I paint on inanimate objects, if I maintain my spiritual energy for a certain period of time, I can penetrate three-tenths of the material. I'm not afraid of water."

"Look, this is no healthier than paint."

Sally couldn't help but admire herself for being Lin Muran's assistant; she was already a master at cutting costs and increasing revenue.

As expected, Bai Mengqing's strength was also recovering.

It seems I need to continue increasing my visibility and unlocking the notes.

"This can indeed save a lot of money."

While marveling at the sight, Lin Muran also noticed the bed sheets drying in the garden through the window and asked curiously, "Did you wash these sheets too?"

"Ah, um, I washed it."

"It was quite a struggle to carry the clothes rack out for her," Sally added, shaking her head.

When Lin Muran asked about the bed sheets, Bai Mengqing suddenly became alert and somewhat guiltyly made a pretext: "I couldn't sleep yesterday, so I got up to draw and accidentally spilled ink on the bed. I got up early and washed it."

She blinked her vertical pupils and asked timidly, "Sleeping on a mattress for one night shouldn't hurt my health, right?"

"Not injured, that's good. Truly a peerless dragon." Lin Muran felt inexplicably gratified and took the initiative to pat the other's head.

"You don't need to tell me."

Suddenly being patted on the head, Bai Mengqing glanced at Sally beside her, lowered her raised paw, and proactively moved her head closer so that the other could pat her more easily.

"To be honest, if you hadn't told me, I would have thought I was sleeping in a water town in Jiangnan last night."

"The water towns of Jiangnan?"

Bai Mengqing paused for a moment, then seemed to understand something. Her ears instantly turned blood red. Without saying a word, she grabbed Lin Muran's finger and bit down, making the other person howl in pain.

"Boss, you actually sleep in late?"

"You're still awake now too, aren't you?"

"Is it wrong for me to sleep too much at night?"

Seeing Bai Mengqing's unusual reaction, and glancing at the bed sheets outside, Sally questioned her with some dissatisfaction:

"Boss, don't you know that you have to pay for what you take? Are you just pretending to be innocent in front of me?"

She glanced again at the teeth marks on Lin Muran's body, especially on his neck, and became furious.

All my racking my brains couldn't compare to a dragon's brilliant idea.

"What are you pretending to be innocent for? I didn't lose any health yesterday."

Lin Muran was completely baffled by Selena's question.

If I bleed, it will trigger a spell that forces me to awaken, and even Qingyi's feathers cannot stop me.

"that is."

"Lin Muran, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Sally specially cooked breakfast today. Xia Li and the others are all here. Hurry up and eat, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Bai Mengqing instinctively felt that the succubus, Sally, was about to say something that involved the truth of last night, so she immediately changed the subject and interrupted her.

With Lin Muran's intelligence, he would definitely be able to deduce what happened last night with just a hint from Sally.

That kind of thing should never be known to the person involved.

Otherwise, he'll definitely avoid me out of fear in the future. How can we sleep together then?!

Thinking of this, she quickly dropped the broom and used both hands and tail to push Lin Muran towards the dining area.

Once you try something, it's like opening Pandora's box; there are only countless times you can try it again.

As she passed by Bai Mengqing and Lin Muran, Selby took a sniff of their scent, breathed a sigh of relief, and then gave Bai Mengqing a meaningful look.

Startled, the dragon girl quickened her pace in pushing Lin Muran.

Apart from the bar, the dining area consists of only a marble square table placed in the center.

The dishes on the table were quite plentiful, including soup dumplings, shumai, pan-fried dumplings, potstickers, and fried dough sticks—all the usual fare, and they all looked pretty good.

However, the behavior of the two spirit beasts sitting on it was a bit too contrasting.

"Good morning, elder brother," Di Hou said with difficulty.

"Lin Muran, please save him!"

Xia Li was focused on munching on the corn on the cob, while Qing Yi looked like she was about to vomit after drinking soy milk, her face even turning a little green.

However, after seeing the teeth marks all over Lin Muran's body, Xia Li forcefully broke the corn into two pieces and started eating it with both hands instead of one.

"Master Qing, are you about to ascend to heaven?"

Lin Muran glanced at the half-eaten bun in Qingyi's bowl, and her expression darkened when she saw the dark filling inside.

"Is it true that Sally said you taught her to cook?"

After Qingyi finished speaking, her cheeks suddenly puffed out, and she immediately covered her mouth to suppress it, which showed that the taste was so bad that it was outrageous.

She originally wanted to complain about the teeth marks all over Lin Muran's body, but unfortunately, if she opened her mouth now, she might vomit up yesterday's food as well.

“The person in question is right here, ask them yourself.” Sally leaned against the doorframe, swishing her tail nonchalantly.

"This"

Lin Muran glanced at Eelbo, who was slumped on the table like a wilted man blowing bubbles, and asked with a serious expression, "Did Sally really cook this herself?"

The three spirit beasts nodded in unison.

“It’s really hard to eat,” Emperor Roar said bluntly.

Xia Li kept saying it tasted bad, but she still kept stuffing food into her mouth like a rice-eating machine.

Xia Li said it tasted bad.
Lin Muran now understood why Bai Mengqing would rather repaint the villa than sit down and have dinner with Qingyi and the others.

That definitely goes beyond the realm of being edible.

He turned around and calmly accused Sally, saying, "Didn't I tell you not to implicate me if you poison someone in the future?"

He remembered that the worst dish he had ever taught Selena to make was locust protein balls, but even that tasted good enough that even a spirit beast couldn't swallow it.

Sally scoffed, "Don't you always say that you have to endure hardship to rise above others? I'm practicing all night now, and when I'm done, I'll definitely prove you wrong."

"As long as you are willing to endure hardship, there will be no end to the hardships."

"Boss, why do you always talk like a boomerang?"

Lin Muran shrugged: "Everyone has their own boomerang. Think about the first principle of a monster expert."

The three spirit beasts simultaneously cast curious glances at Lin Muran.

Their knowledge of monster experts mostly comes from the incredible little skits that Lin Muran would occasionally mention in his videos.

But I've never heard him mention the first principle of a monster expert.

Sally's heterochromatic eyes swept over Bai Mengqing, and she said with disgust, "Monsters should be cursed as monsters, and humans should be cursed as humans."

Bai Mengqing: (⊙x⊙)
Qingyi: ^_^
Xia Li: --
"Look, besides me, who else has followed this rule?"

Lin Muran nodded with considerable pride, closing his eyes as if reliving his past glorious achievements.

Behind every strange rule lies an abstract, bloody accident.

Monster experts have a low casualty rate when fighting monster girls, but the casualty rate when "fighting" monster girls is particularly high.

Is this something to brag about?

"Is not it?"

"."

Sally was at a loss for words when it came to complaining about her former boss. All she could do was clench her fists in frustration.

Because Lin Muran's approach was indeed correct.

She had previously met many other monster experts of the same age who followed the other party, and without exception, they all did it, but none of them survived for more than two years.

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengqing and Xia Li's tails, which had been hanging in mid-air, relaxed and drooped to the ground.

Anyway, they're not monster girls.

Qingyi knew she wasn't a monster girl, and she listened with great interest. She couldn't resist taking another bun to eat, almost sending herself to her death.

"You've picked up cooking again, it can't be just a whim, right?"

Lin Muran understood Selena's personality; even now, when she was in a state of half-death, she would still never do anything unnecessary.

In particular, they stayed up until morning to cook for the spirit beasts.

"Now that there's a normal blood supply, I'm going to go back to my old ways and see if I can earn some pocket money."

Sally intentionally or unintentionally moved closer to Lin Muran, wrapping her tail around his fingers, which still bore the marks of his teeth, and said:

"Moreover, I saw a video saying that setting up a stall at night can earn a lot of money, and you can even use luxury cars to transport vegetables. If you're interested, boss, you can work as my assistant and I'll give you 40% of the profits."

Buy a car?!

Qingyi perked up immediately upon hearing this.

She really likes her current part-time job, that's true, but this time she moved, and the distance to the coffee shop has increased several times over. A normal taxi wouldn't be able to fit her guqin, so most of the time she walks there.

If I could earn money to help Lin Muran buy a car, then I wouldn't have to endure the wind and sun every day.

Before the thought even took three seconds to form, Lin Muran ruthlessly shattered it.

Where did you learn that setting up a street stall can make money?

“Shaking.” Sally showed Lin Muran the video she had seen that day.

"Think about it carefully. Braised food is so oily. If you were transporting it in a luxury car, you certainly wouldn't choose white food, right? It's obviously a staged photo to trick you into joining the fast-moving consumer goods industry."

Lin Muran rolled her eyes at Sally: "Besides, the food you make might kill people. Even Xia Li thinks it tastes terrible. Do you think you can sell it to normal people?"

Sally was speechless for a moment.

She hadn't really thought that much about it, and it was only after Lin Muran pointed it out that she realized the illogical parts.

I definitely need to study for a while longer to surpass my boss.
Lin Muran glanced at Qingyi, who was still in a state of poisoning, and then at the pig-shaped buns that looked quite good and had a Cthulhu-like appearance: "Although we can't eat them, they seem like they would be great for making videos."

After all, no matter how bad the dish is, it's made with edible ingredients, which meets the requirements for making a food video.

"That"

A flicker of excitement flashed in Selene's heterochromatic eyes, but she hesitated, then turned and waved her hand.

"Eat it or not, I'm going to sleep. Oh, by the way, boss, can I borrow your computer later?"

"No."

Sally paused, her raised hand stilled, and slowly turned her head to ask, "Why?"
