Chapter 4 Chapter 4
◎I caught it myself!◎
The male rabbit demon's attitude was so casual and laid-back that Lian Jiu couldn't quite grasp it, so he said honestly, "Isn't that too much of a stretch?"
"A little bit." The other person turned around and pointed at the empty hot pot container: "So I'm going to eat this every day from now on."
Lian Jiu couldn't help but complain in his heart, are these monsters all foodies?
She said gently, "This is a self-heating hot pot. Eating less is good for your health. You can eat it in the cafeteria later."
The male demon pondered for a moment and said, "Let's see."
For his own comfort, Lian Jiu skipped the question about food: "Do you know what a bodyguard's job is?"
The male rabbit demon then set his sights on the new headmaster and curled his lip: "To prevent you from being eaten."
Lian Jiumoming felt that the tone sounded a bit bad, but since the rabbit demon decided to stay after knowing the bodyguard's job content, and Director Long said that he was an ancient demon god, then species should not be a problem.
"Okay then." Lian Jiu extended his hand in a friendly manner. "My name is Lian Jiu. What's your name?"
The hand lingering in the air was ignored, and the male rabbit demon said calmly: "Si Lan."
Then he turned and left: "Call me at dinner time."
It’s time for dinner. Are you here to be a food taster?
Lian Jiu couldn't help but jog after him: "Don't bodyguards live in school? Don't they need to keep an eye on the school situation?"
Si Lan said casually, "If you scream when you're being eaten, I can hear you."
Lian Jiu was shocked. Is this the power of the demon god?
She immediately felt relieved and took out her phone: "Then add WeChat and leave your phone number. I'll add you to the work group and notify you of any work changes in the group."
Si Lan's cell phone is just a decoration. If the monsters want to call him, they have to come to the mountain in person and ask him many times. It is not respectful to just call him.
Now I have to be notified! What kind of mess does that old guy Yinglong make all day long?
He said calmly: "No WeChat."
"Huh?" Lian Jiu was puzzled. "How do I notify you about the work?"
"I know everything that happens in this mountain."
"Wow!" Lian Jiu felt more secure and immediately put away his phone: "Okay, then take care."

All the monsters with children in Fuyu Mountain now know that there is a new principal. After taking office, he suspended classes for rectification in the kindergarten which had just opened for one day and re-divided the classes. All the monsters are very curious about the background of this.
So on the opening day, adult monsters, whether they had children or not, came curiously, wanting to see who the new director was. As soon as they arrived, they were attracted by the fresh and gentle new director at the door.
I can't tell what kind of monster it is! But why does it feel so good when I smile? I warmly say good morning to every child and parent who comes.
The monsters had never seen this kind of pattern before. After all, the child had only attended school for one day before, and there was only a double-headed bird in the kindergarten at that time, so the situation was quite chaotic and there was no greeting or farewell at all.
But in just a few days, things have changed a lot. The little monsters that come one after another are guided to say goodbye to their parents, and then are taken into the park in an orderly manner.
The monster parents all grew up in a barbaric way and knew nothing. Suddenly, they felt that they saw hope in their children.
After all the children went in, Lian Jiu discovered that some monsters were still gathered at the school gate and had not left. He had encountered few monsters in the past few days, and it was impossible for him to remain calm when he was suddenly stared at by so many adult monsters.
However, because the other party was in human form and had no ill intentions, she tried to remain calm.
As the head teacher, I spent more time supervising and less time teaching, so Lian Jiu asked, "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
"No, no." The monsters shook their heads. "We're just curious. Go ahead and do your thing."
Despite saying so, they showed no sign of leaving. Thinking they were worried about their children, Lian Jiu solemnly assured them, "Parents, rest assured, we will take good care of your children while they're at school. You can go and take care of your own things first."
"They don't have anything to do." Yu Chongming appeared out of nowhere. She hadn't shown up the whole night since she ran away in a hurry yesterday.
"What?"
Yu Chongming: "The training and education resources outside are limited. The monsters can only go out in turns. The rest of the time they can only stay in the mountains. Instead of doing nothing in the cave, it's better to find something interesting to do to pass the time."
Lian Jiu turned around and saw all these "artistic" monsters at the door, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable.
It’s like those people who live deep in the mountains and have no chance to go out and see the wider world.
That's why they attach so much importance to the education of monster cubs.
"Otherwise..." She paused, "Would you like to come to my office? I can show you the society outside."
Yu Chongming had said before that only his place in the mountains had internet access. Even with electricity, only a small number of monsters who could earn their own money could afford it, so there was no chance to understand the outside world in the mountains.
The big monsters got excited: "Is it possible?"
"If you don't mind." Lian Jiu turned sideways. "I'm not sure if it's possible. Let's give it a try?"
Of course the monsters didn’t mind, as they were just worried about not being able to find anything to do!
So a large group of monsters followed Lian Jiu to her office. Lian Jiu led the way and said, "Keep your voice down. It won't be good if it disturbs the children."
The monsters quickly fell silent.
Yu Chongming walked beside the headmaster, a little worried: "Is this okay? We run a kindergarten specifically for children. How can these big monsters get in?"
When he walked into the office, because the space was a bit small, all the monsters stood together and looked at Lian Jiu expectantly.
Lian Jiu said gently, "Although kindergartens can teach children, children are currently at a stage where they are curious about everything. They will unconsciously learn some habits and etiquette from those around them, so parents are also very important."
The monsters, whether they had children or not, all nodded in unison: "You're right!"
Yu Chongming also understood that the director naturally had his own plans.
Lian Jiu turned his computer screen around to face everyone: "Maybe there are too many people... well, some of them are hard to see. Everyone can try to change their positions."
While searching for videos, she asked, "What do you usually learn when you go out?"
"Learn to read, learn the rules, and learn how to screw and seal beans like the people in the factory."
"..." Lian Jiu was surprised, "Screwing?"
One of the monsters said, "Without a degree, we can only find something that can make money quickly. We can also learn to set up stalls or something, but without a source of supplies, it's a mess."
"There's a saying among humans," Lian Jiu said, "There are 360 professions, and every profession has its top talent."
They didn't understand, but the monsters were full of envy: "You are so cultured, what does it mean?"
"..." Lian Jiu patiently explained, "That is to say, no matter the industry you choose, there are always outstanding people in every field, so academic qualifications are not the only stepping stone."
Yu Chongming whispered, "Even demon gods like Long Ju have only recently awakened. They themselves are constantly learning about the human world, so for us, there are relatively few channels for understanding."
Lian Jiu nodded and clicked on the video on the computer: "Today, I will show you a documentary. This is the development process of mankind over the years. After watching it, you will probably have a certain understanding of mankind."
A monster keenly noticed the key word: "Today?"
"Yeah." Director Long said that he would have the final say on this mountain from now on. Although it was an exaggeration, Lian Jiu really couldn't bear it, so he thought that any help he could give would be appreciated.
She said: "If it works and you are willing, you can come here to watch it in the future. I will show you videos for understanding and learning at different stages."
"Of course we do!"
"Then you guys go ahead and watch first," Lian Jiu said, "I'll go check on the children."
Lian Jiu would schedule a class for each of his classes, but it was not today because the school had just opened, and there would be many problems that needed to be solved, which would not be handled in time if he was in class.
She walked back and forth several times, and then found that the little carp spirit came out every now and then, rinsed under the faucet and ran back to the classroom.
Lian Jiu wondered: "What's going on?"
"The little carp spirit is still young and relies heavily on water," Yu Zhongming said. "In order to maintain its human form, it needs frequent replenishment."
Lian Jiu frowned slightly, then walked into his dormitory and took out a small wooden basin after a while.
Yu Chongming looked at the headmaster with confusion as he filled a basin of water and walked towards the first grade class: "What is this for?"
"Let him take the lesson in the water."
“?!”
Are you not allowing children to maintain their human form? Being able to maintain a stable human form is something many monsters have always sought.
But Lian Jiu had already knocked on the door of the first grade class. As she expected, the situation inside was very complicated. Many children were unable to maintain their human form. They were always trying to transform and plug their ears and tails, and their attention was not on the teacher at all.
Lian Jiu placed the basin of water in front of the little carp spirit: "If you feel uncomfortable, just transform into your original form and listen inside."
The little carp, with wet hair, was puzzled for a moment: "Fish, human."
Lian Jiu patted his head: "It's okay, the teacher doesn't require you to become a human."
The little carp's eyes lit up, because it was too uncomfortable for him to maintain his human form all the time, and he was not in a good mood at the moment. When he heard what the head teacher said, he turned into a fish and jumped into the basin with a plop.
When the other children saw this, they also turned into their own prototypes.
Suddenly, he saw more than a dozen little monsters flying and jumping in front of him. Lian Jiu's eyelids twitched slightly, and he turned to the teacher and the childcare worker and said, "Come out for a moment."
The teachers were also confused: “Why is this happening?”
Lian Jiu asked back, "Is the reason you can maintain your human form now because you attended kindergarten as children?"
The teachers shook their heads.
"You're former demons, and you understand how difficult it is to maintain a human form at this age. So if you keep asking them to do that, their attention will be scattered and they'll become exhausted." Lian Jiu pointed out the scene inside from the window. "Then they'll barely be able to listen to the content of the class. Isn't that just confusing the main points?"
She smiled and asked, "You can learn etiquette in human form, but not in demon form?"
The teachers suddenly realized that they had narrowed their thinking.
"Let them learn in a comfortable state." Lian Jiu said, "As for transformation, if they want to become human, then do so. If they don't want to, forget it. They will understand later."
"Okay, we got it."
The teachers returned to the classroom, and as expected, the children were much more focused this time. Lian Jiu gently closed the door, and Yu Chongming followed behind her, constantly sending messages to Yinglong who was at work.
After all, she is not only the director's assistant, but also has to pay attention to the director's actions at all times and report the situation to the higher-ups.
Long Ying was a little surprised when he received the news, but after thinking about it carefully, Lian Jiu itself carries the taste of hope for revival, so it doesn't seem too surprising that there is such a situation.
But what puzzled him was why Lian Jiu knew so much about human society, even better than himself, who was the first to wake up.
With this idea in mind, he made a special call to the beast.
I called several times before the call was connected. The call was connected, but there was no sound.
"Didn't we agree to protect Teacher Lian Jiu at school?" Long Ying asked, "After spending time with her, do you think she's anything special?"
After a while, a lazy voice came from the other end: "I don't know."
Long Ying choked: "What do you mean you don't know? You're not in school?"
"Um."
"You really are..." Long Ying wanted to curse, but then realized that he couldn't win, and he would suffer when he returned, so he said humbly, "We should go and see, Teacher Lian Jiu has helped us so much."
Si Lan's voice became more volatile: "Ah, it's time to go take a look."
Long Ying was relieved: "That's right!"
Si Lan: "It's time for dinner."
“……?”
It was indeed time for dinner. Lian Jiu was still thinking about the new canteen chef, so she had time to go and see him. However, as soon as she walked into the canteen, she smelled a fishy smell. She frowned and looked over, only to see several pots of fresh meat on the table, with blood still on them.
She was stunned: "Haven't you started cooking yet?"
"It's the headmaster." The canteen chef poked his head out: "No, the meal is ready!"
As he spoke, he grunted and brought out two pots of emerald green plant roots, so fresh that water droplets were sliding on them.
The canteen chef proudly said, "We have a good combination of meat and vegetables, and we can satisfy any monster! I personally picked these meats and herbs from the mountains, so they're guaranteed to be fresh! Director, would you like to try it first?"
Lian Jiu's eyes went dark.
The author has something to say:
It's time for dinner.
(School has started, I am bringing my kids to wish everyone a happy Children's Day~)
