Chapter 57 All monsters are penniless.



Yin Huan looked at Huo Fei's outstretched hand, a flash of annoyance crossing her bright eyes. She tilted her head back and glared at Huo Fei angrily.

Don't think she didn't see anything; this bastard is definitely mocking her for being a coward.

Pshaw, she's not timid, she's just a little unaccustomed to it.

She's a snake, the most venomous snake at that. Don't think that just because she's become human, her little teeth aren't poisonous. If you laugh at her, she'll...

Thinking of this, Yin Huan opened her little mouth, revealing her two clean white teeth at the corners of her mouth.

"I'm not scared, I'm just nervous, very nervous." Silver Ring bristled, licking her little teeth with her tongue: "Yes, I'm just nervous. If you dare say I'm scared again, I'll bite you."

Huo Fei could see the little girl's annoyance. He raised his forehead slightly, finding it amusing that she was clearly timid but was trying to appear calm.

If He Bai were to come out with this little girl, she would definitely put on a show of bullying him without saying a word.

Huo Fei chuckled inwardly: "Alright, you're not scared. Little girl, if you're not scared, let's go."

"snort."

Silver Ring snorted coldly, ignoring the guy's sarcastic remarks. She lashed out with her tail, striking Huo Dao's ankle to avenge herself for being mocked.

"Hiss—" Huo Fei hissed, pulled up his trouser leg, and glanced at his heels.

A red mark had appeared on his ankle.

Huo Fei: "..." He looked up, his face contorted as he stared at the back of the silver ring.

Yin Huan noticed the gaze from behind her. She tilted her head and grinned triumphantly, "Let's go. Weren't you going to take me to eat? Hurry up, I'm hungry."

After saying that, without caring about Huo Fei's feelings, she opened her mouth and uttered a string of crisp, clear words: "The West Lake is beautiful in March..."

That little face made Huo Fei so angry he wanted to bite his teeth.

Huo Fei looked up at the sky and took a breath: He couldn't argue with her; arguing with her would be beneath his dignity.

Huo Fei caught up with Yin Huan, and the two ordered a basket of steamed buns from a breakfast shop next to the market. They then found an empty table, sat down, and began to eat.

Yin Huan puffed out her cheeks and stuffed one bun after another into her mouth like a little hamster.

Although the bun was a bit soupy, it was still delicious. Before it transformed, Silver Ring ate only raw meat; its diet was solely for replenishing the energy its body needed.

After transforming into a human, Silver Ring discovers that eating, besides fulfilling her own needs, is also a unique form of enjoyment.

She used to think that green grass leaves tasted bitter and astringent, but now she finds them quite delicious, much more delicious than raw meat.

Ah, humans, what a wondrous race.

Huo Fei ate slowly and carefully. He had just finished one bun and was about to pick up his chopsticks to take a second one when the entire basket of buns on the table had vanished.

"..." Huo Fei raised his eyes, his expression twisted.

He put down his chopsticks and looked at Yin Huan with an unreadable expression. Once she finally stopped smacking her lips, he immediately paid and prepared to leave.

Silver Ring: "I'm not full yet."

Huo Fei: "Go back and have Bai Mao make it for you."

Silver Ring: "The ones made of white 'hair' don't taste as good as the ones here."

Huo Fei: "The zoo is short on funds, and eating out is too expensive..." Yesterday, he brought her a TV, which cost almost half a month's worth of food money. He really doesn't have much money left. He still needs to go buy her a change of clothes later.

These days, even if someone is a highly skilled demon in the eyes of others, they can't go empty-handed.

His salary was paid regularly by the Special Security Bureau, and the prison's funds were also allocated by the state.

Because this is a prison for monsters, the higher-ups would rather starve these monsters to death than kindly provide them with extra funds. Most of the prison's operating capital comes from entrance fees.

Although there are many tourists in the prison, the fact that it houses demons means they eat more than ordinary animals. So, he managed to squeeze out some money to buy her a TV, which was considered a very thrifty thing of his.

Huo Fei sometimes felt quite uncomfortable thinking about it. He was clearly a demon who cultivated in front of the Buddha, but he had inexplicably turned himself into a steward for a group of reckless people.

Upon hearing this, Yin Huan was slightly taken aback, then nodded as if she had realized something, and said, "Oh, so you're a penniless pauper."

Huo Fei was speechless: "..."

Silver Ring pouted and sighed, "Tell me, aren't you and White Hair both demons who have lived for a long time? How come you don't know how to save some money... Look, now you can't even afford a meal."

Huo Fei: "Did Luo Mang save any belongings for you?"

Yin Huan blinked: "That's different. My brother lives in the mountains. Where would he get the money to save?" Speaking of this, Yin Huan regretted it a little. If she had known that even monsters needed money these days, she should have asked her brother to save some money more than a hundred years ago.

Back then, what was saved was all glittering gold.

That guy with white hair, because he didn't save any money back then, now he can't even afford a car.

Two days after transforming into human form, Silver Ring was nagged by White Hair several times about not having money. Now, she has realized the importance of money.

Huo Fei: "I am a demon, why would I need to preserve human mortal objects?"

Silver Ring: "......" Are all demons so noble and unmoved by money? My elder brother is like that, White Hair is like that, and even Huo Fei is like that?

But something's not right. Why is it that in the TV show, Xiaoqing only knows how to steal money from the government... but they do!
