City C is a northern city. It is freezing cold at this time of year. The first light snow of this winter just fell a few days ago, and now everything is frozen.
Everyone was dressed warmly in this weather, and the monsters also changed into seasonal clothes. The tavern was full of women and men in their best attire.
In winter, you can wrap yourself thicker and wear more decorations. Many people wear fur, but their fur is more "expensive" than human fur.
Yuan Yuanyuan came early in the morning and looked at the guests in the tavern. She knew that every guest was someone who could not be provoked. One could tell just by looking at the skin on their bodies that had been peeled off from who knows where.
She stood here warming the wine. The pub had recently received a new batch of wine. She didn't know what year it was, but it smelled very intoxicating.
The amount of alcohol used in the pub is quite large. I heard that sometimes the pub uses its own brewed alcohol, and sometimes it imports alcohol from outside.
The transparent liquor slowly flows into the bottle through the funnel. The kitchen uses clay-colored bottles today. "Green ants, new wine, red clay stove." Although these monsters are transformed into humans later in life, they are also quite elegant. Each of them is just like the ancients and is much more playful than modern people.
Today, the pub got a batch of small stoves from somewhere and sent them to the guests, with wine on the side. I heard that the pub even brought in snow from outside to make snowmen in the house...
Yuan Yuanyuan complained silently in her heart that when she had money, she would also come here to drink, ask the prettiest girls to pour her wine, drink the best wine, and use the best room.
"What's wrong?" Someone was walking hurriedly towards her. Yuan Yuanyuan was squatting and fiddling with the wine jug in her hand. She looked up and saw a girl who had been serving wine in front. Why was she here
The girl didn't even look at Yuan Yuanyuan. She just glanced inside the room with an anxious expression.
Yuan Yuanyuan had seen this expression many times in the past few days. Her whole body suddenly tensed up, preparing for what was about to happen.
really…
“Hurry, hurry, hurry.” The girl glanced around and saw no one, so she simply shouted into the room, “Four groups, run! There’s a female hooligan in front who wants you to go over and drink with her!”
“…” Yuan Yuanyuan stopped moving her hands.
“…” Sister Li Zi, who had just been eating melon seeds, also stopped suddenly.
"Bang!" This was the sound of the wooden cabinet. It seemed that the four people subconsciously went into the closet after hearing the news...
…
"No, no, no... We have many girls in our bar. If you want any girl to accompany you for drinks, I can call her for you. There are not many men, and I'm afraid of getting into trouble if there are too many girls. There are only a few little monsters..."
When Yuan Yuanyuan was wearing a red dress and going to the front to serve the wine, she saw a female monster sitting in front of her. She looked particularly majestic... Her hair was piled high, with a lot of jewelry inserted in her head. She was wearing a thick-looking purple dress, with very pretty flowers embroidered with gold thread, three layers inside and three layers outside.
The female monster was also very beautiful, and she was sitting in the chair very lazily. Yuan Yuanyuan casually scanned her mind and finally settled on the word "Queen".
Wow... the four groups made a lot of money.
"Do you have a handsome male monster wearing white clothes here?" The female monster said casually while looking at her long nails painted red.
"No, no, no... That's not true. Don't look at the random drawings in the sketchbook." The people in the tavern waved their hands.
Here’s what happened…
A few days ago, the cover of "Mengman" unexpectedly used Siqun as the cover character. Although Siqun has not appeared for such a long time, his popularity is too high.
The cover uses the illustration of the drunken monster from the original group of four, that dashing and heroic figure, that handsome pose, that pretty face, and those enchanting sleeves...
When the monsters read the picture book, they mostly read the parts they are concerned about, and many of them cannot keep up with the progress. After all, the progress of the physical version of "Dream Man" and the online serialization are different.
The physical magazine contains some popular anime serialized in it, and monsters don’t look at their phones, so this physical magazine has become their only way to learn about "Monster Records".
Then, the group became really popular...
It was a huge hit, and within two days it was revealed that this person might be working in this tavern, so in the past two days, all kinds of monsters have been coming to the tavern to look for Siqun, and they even asked Siqun to pour wine for them by name...
Yuan Yuanyuan and the other monsters in the tavern were on the same front. Every time, the monsters in front would come over to tip off. She and Sister Li Zi would tell Siqun to hide quickly. Siqun hid very well every time and has not been dragged out to drink yet.
"Oh, I'm really sorry. You're welcome to come again next time." The monsters in the tavern lined up and bowed to the female monster who finally left.
Yuan Yuanyuan felt a cold sweat on her forehead. She felt that the recent actions of these monsters were so similar to a certain group. What is the appropriate word to describe this group
—Oh, yes, sasaeng fans.
She silently looked at the four groups that had crawled out again.
The monsters might not really understand what this word means... But in the eyes of this half-demon, everyone who came these days is really a stalker fan, and a fanatical fan at that.
As she said this, Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly realized something.
Well, yes, for ordinary humans, this is just a comic book, but for monsters... this is daily life. If they like someone, they can just roll up their sleeves and get involved.
While thinking about this, Yuan Yuanyuan sat alone in the dark house, looking at the mess around her and wondering how to clean it up.
The reason why she thought of so many messy things was entirely because she was considering...whether there would be monsters looking for "Yuan" in the future just like they did for the Four Groups.
Hmm... That shouldn't be possible. After all, everyone is silenced now, and there probably aren't many people who know who Yuan is.
As I said before, if you become a noble family in City C, you will be given a fiefdom and will also need to take on certain responsibilities.
The place where Yuan Yuanyuan is now is the land assigned to her. This is her first time here today.
She was wearing a black down jacket and transformed into Yuan. A poor bitch like her naturally didn't have the furs stripped from other monsters to wear...she only had this down jacket.
Yuan Yuanyuan had never been to other aristocratic families in this place. In fact, she had not known for such a long time that there were such things as aristocratic families in City C. For example, there were piles of aristocratic families like the fat cat family of Jixiang Yu in other cities, but they were as invisible as if they were in City C.
It is called a land, but in fact it is just a house, and a very old one at that. It should be a monster's house, and some kind of witchcraft was cast on it, because the humans around it seem to be unable to see this old house, even though it is clearly next to the street.
The house is two-story and is next to a bath center and a Home Inn... Yuan Yuanyuan looked back and forth several times. It was magical that no one on the street could see this house with such a strange style.
The house was not very big, a two-story building with a yard, a bit like a small villa in the countryside. Yuan Yuanyuan thought the land should be very large, but it was actually very small. However, Yuan Yuanyuan felt that the house should not be cheap.
—Because it is in the city center.
I wonder if there is such a thing as housing prices among the monsters here.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the house. It took her a long time to finally make it look like what it was. It was obviously a haunted house. When she was sweeping the dust off the shed just now, she saw a lot of spells painted on it.
She finished cleaning up the area and then started thinking about what responsibilities she would have...
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't understand what this responsibility was at first, but later the woman in white explained it to her.
Some families are responsible for maintaining order among the monsters in City C;
Some aristocratic families are responsible for brewing wine (Yuan Yuanyuan only then realized that most of the wine in their tavern came from one family);
Some noble families are even responsible for the cleaning of City C. After all, the traces left by the monsters fighting are sometimes quite bloody, and humans cannot see this...
Yuan Yuanyuan pondered for three seconds and began to think desperately about what she could do.
… Is it okay to install a fuse
…
Well, monsters probably don't use this.
Yuan Yuanyuan felt that her life in the past twenty years was quite boring. She only studied in the first twenty years and did not have any hobbies that she was good at. She only learned half of painting and piano, and the only thing she was good at was doing papers.
By the way... I heard that these noble families do all kinds of things, some specialize in painting, and some specialize in playing the piano, so these two have nothing to do with her.
However, this responsibility seems to be mandatory. Yuan Yuanyuan didn't respond to the woman in white for a long time, and the woman in white didn't dare to say much. In the end, she just said that if it really didn't work, just find someone else to make up the number.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked around the room, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, she saw the Ran Niang cosplay costume hanging there.
Ah... By the way, it seems that she does have a hobby, but it was only developed after college...
Yuan Yuanyuan walked towards the dress and suddenly felt that this was the only reliable thing...
…
At this moment, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside.
Yuan Yuanyuan lowered her head suddenly, lifted up her hat and put it on her head.
The person who came in was a girl. Her voice was particularly pleasant and could be heard as soon as she entered the room.
"Hey? It's been empty here for so long, and finally someone comes." The girls chattered. Yuan Yuanyuan smelled a faint trace of demonic aura.
The girl saw the man standing there at a glance. He was wearing black clothes, was very tall and thin, his face could not be seen, and he had his head lowered. His neck was particularly slender.
"Ah... Are you the new owner of this place?" The girl's voice gradually became quieter, and she didn't know why.
The man in black over there glanced over here. His eyes were particularly beautiful. The girl wanted to take a closer look, but saw that he turned his head away again.
"It's me." said the man in black.
