Home/ Devil / Chapter 88

“Ah! ! ! ! There is a fat bone over there! Stop it!” Only the roar of the lamb-horned demon could be heard in the air, but his figure was nowhere to be seen.

His speed was so fast that it surpassed lightning, transforming into a phantom and dissolving in the air.

Before the roar ended, another phantom came from behind and ran straight in front of him.

In the next second, the figure of the little grey devil appeared there, pressing a bone under his two paws. The moment he appeared, the figure of the lamb-horned demon also appeared from the air.

The first thing he did when he landed on the ground was to lower his head and touch his chest. When he didn’t find his great-grandson on his chest, the old demon was startled and almost thought he was running too fast during the hunt, causing his great-grandson to be lost. However, he quickly noticed something unusual on his neck. Soon, a small black demon emerged from his thick neck hair, and as if reporting that he had landed safely, the little demon let out two cries of ‘ah ah’.

“Hei Dan is really strong, and his grip is really firm!” The great-grandson was fine, and the lamb-horned demon was immediately relieved.

Ahead, the little grey devil, holding a bone, pointed to the sky.

The lamb-horned demon looked up reflexively: first, a pair of reading glasses suddenly fell from the sky and hit him on the face, along with a pair of green underpants with an abstract little frog embroidered on it.

The speed of the lamb-horned demon was too fast, and the reading glasses accidentally flew away at the moment when he was running wildly; the same was true for Hei Dan’s underpants. Except for his two little paws, his body was almost suspended in the air. The wind was so strong that the little demon’s underpants were blown away.

 ￣▽￣

“Ah! Grandpa’s reading glasses fell off, and Hei Dan’s underpants fell off too.” Taking off the glasses and underpants from his face, the old demon smiled and said to the great-grandson in his neck.

The great-grandson Hei Dan also chuckled.

After that, the old demon carefully hung the reading glasses made by his grandson around his neck, then carefully pulled off the green underpants, passed them through Hei Dan’s two thin legs, and put them on the round buttocks.

“Alright, alright, my grandson hasn’t been lost, and my glasses are also safe, and I have caught many bones, let’s go!” The old demon announced happily.

On the first day his grandson went to work, the old demon had to take care of his great-grandson alone. However, when his grandson went to school before, he also took care of Hei Dan alone, so today is not the first time he has been alone with his great grandson.

However, unlike before, today he needs to hunt to support their family!

Although the little grey devil said that he could put Hei Dan in his cave, the old demon was a little worried. After all, the great-grandson is not as big as an adult, what if he gets caught by someone?

So the old demon had no choice but to learn from his grandson, and tied his great-grandson around his body with a big scarf.

Unfortunately, although the human form of the old demon is a thin old man, its monster form resembles a lamb-horned monster with a wide head, shoulders, chest, thin waist, and narrow buttocks. Its chest is much wider than that of his human grandson, and a large scarf can only be wrapped around it once. Although he tried to tie it, it still seems to be unreliable. As soon as he started running, the scarf was loosened. Fortunately, Hei Dan inside was alert enough to tightly grasp the fur around his neck with great familiarity. And then, Hei Dan hung on Grandpa’s body like this until he stopped.

Hei Dan stretched out his little paws to lift the underpants he just put on, and smiled at his Grandpa again.

“Hei Dan is such a good-tempered little baby, just like your uncle back then.” Licking Hei Dan’s little face, the lamb-horned demon stuffed him back into the clothes on his chest.

Counting the bones on the ground, he probably felt very satisfied, so the lamb-horned demon handed some of them to the little grey devil.

“One is enough, and the rest were caught by you.” The little grey devil was only willing to accept one.

“Take it! These bones are not for you, but for you to take to work tomorrow.”

“Don’t you have to go to work tomorrow? According to the rules of our hometown, it is best to bring some gifts to the colleagues and the boss on the first day of work, so that the relationship will be better and work will be easier in the future.”

While speaking about his previous experience, the old demon forced a few bones into the hands of the little grey devil.

In the following time, the lamb-horned demon also taught the little grey devil how to handle these bones, brushing their fur clean, closing all their eyes, and finally stringing their tails one by one with a rope made of hay. The bones that finally appeared in the old demon’s hand looked very beautiful.

Uh… It looks very beautiful with the aesthetic of a demon with horns.

“Does it look good?” The old demon fiddled with it, and asked for the little grey devil’s opinion.

“It looks good.” The little grey devil nodded seriously as he answered him.

Well, the aesthetics of the little grey devil seems very similar to that of the old demon.

“Gift-giving is an art! It’s not enough just to give things, but also to have good packaging. We used to buy a lot of decorative things there, ribbons! Gift boxes! There are all kinds of colors and styles. When Xiao Hua went to elementary school on his first day, I even got a pig from the mountain and tied a bow on the pig’s tail with ribbons to send it to his future teacher’s house. Later on, Xiao Hua went to school very smoothly and had a fight with others but the teacher didn’t say anything about him.”

“It must be because of the pig I killed that was beautiful and delicious.” The old demon was very happy~

The little grey devil nodded, with a very educated expression on his face.

Well, the bloody, dead wild pig, with a bloodstained bow tied to its tail, was thrown into the bedroom of a young female teacher who just got out of school at midnight.

Cough cough.

It is said that the smell of blood in that room took half a year to dissipate.

The old demon is also considered to be clever and handy among demons. He quickly finished processing several bones in his hand, and saw the little grey devil next to him fumbling about how to weave straw ropes. He simply helped him weave them and organized them directly. Finally, he handed a neat string of bones to the little grey devil.

After telling the little grey devil that he must give this gift to his boss or colleagues when he goes to work tomorrow, the old demon waved at him, then carrying a bunch of bones and holding his great-grandson in his arms, he headed straight for the employment market.

Today is his grandson’s first day at work. In his opinion, it is as important as the first day of school. He has to pick up his grandson and give his grandson’s boss a gift.

The gift is this string of bones in his hand!

So Adan, the old demon in the test area, met his employee’s grandfather before the employee left, and received a bunch of fat bone demons. Since he didn’t know how to cook, he simply asked the employee and his family to stay and eat/cook dinner, and the dinner was those bones.

The old demon who ate the braised bones made by Ji Huan was very surprised.

“I always feel that… my wife has cooked similar dishes before…” The old demon, who burst into tears again, ate up the whole pot of bones by himself.

Ji Huan’s family had no choice but to eat the luxurious takeaway he originally ordered for himself.

By the way, although the old demon said before that he had to pack his lunch or he needed to cook it himself, but in fact, at noon, he took Ji Huan to the restaurant with himself, which was next to the employment market, and it took about 15 minutes to drive (←Old demon has a car!). Ji Huan’s initial plan to cook was completely useless.

Fortunately, grandpa came and brought so many bones.

After eating the braised bones, the old demon decided that Ji Huan would cook for a few days a week, and he would take Ji Huan to restaurants the rest of the time, but this time the reason was to steal the cooking skills from the restaurant.

“You study how they cook it. I’ll buy you materials when you come back. Let’s try to make it ourselves.”

He didn’t know if it was because he was satisfied with the meal, but he also decided to raise Ji Huan’s salary.

Instead of 500 bone coins per month now, he will get 600 bone coins.

It is rare for a newcomer to get a salary increase on the first day of employment, which was even rare in his original world!

He felt really grateful.

There are not many people who come to take the test every day, but there are more people who ask for resumes now. When it is found that the employers are more willing to talk to demons with resumes, more and more demons come back to the test area to ask for resumes.

Every morning Ji Huan goes to work, and at noon, he has dinner with the old demon. Sometimes he cooks it by himself, and sometimes the two of them go out to eat together.

When he cooks by himself, the old demon would ask Ji Huan to make a direct call to order the materials he wanted. The other party will deliver the materials they want on time at noon; If two people go out to eat, the old demon will switch places to eat. Probably because he thinks driving is too troublesome, the old demon simply handed over the car to Ji Huan and let him practice how to drive on his own. The large courtyard where the demons come to test their abilities is the readymade training ground. There was no coach, and the old demon was too lazy to teach, so Ji Huan had to figure it out on his own.

Fortunately, he can repair cars.

Cough, the car was damaged several times by him during practice. Ji Huan did some research and didn’t wait for the repairman to come and fix it himself.

Have you forgotten that Xiao Hua used to work in a repair shop? (before he took on the cleaning job in Ah Jin’s house)

In this way, while learning, crashing and repairing, Ji Huan quickly learned how to drive, and by the way, his car repair skills also improved.

The old demon got him a driver’s license, and from then on, when he went out to eat, the driver would be Ji Huan.

The time for the little grey devil to go to work was in the evening, when Ji Huan has already left work.

Before his first day of work, Ji Huan took care of him. The pink scarf was carefully washed and dried, and the cloak on his body was also cleaned again. The holes on it were carefully repaired by Ji Huan, and he picked up the well packaged bones (← grandpa later made a box out of hay), and the little grey devil left.

Standing among a group of demons of different heights, he listened to the instructions and took his uniform from the foreman. The little grey devil, who had changed into a uniform, looked no different from the other demons around him except for his height.

However, the appearance is almost not enough, and the demons who originally work here still regard him as an outsider.

They didn’t talk to him or tell him what to do.

The little grey devil was ostracized.

During the break, he handed over the gift that Grandpa had prepared for him.

“A present,” he said.

The demon who received the gift was a bit surprised, but also a bit pleased. He pretended to be reserved and opened the box. But when he saw a row of bones inside, the joy on his face instantly disappeared.

Ironically displaying the contents to other demons, all of them burst into laughter when they saw that the gift inside was the cheapest monster “bone” here.

In the end, the box full of bones was thrown away.

They just threw it at the feet of the little grey devil.

The little grey devil didn’t say anything, just picked up the box of bones, put them back into the box, and then carefully closed the lid.

In the following time, he will listen to others if they don’t talk to him, watch what others do if they don’t tell him what to do, and he will honestly line up to collect money.

Until the moment the foreman announced that he was leaving after work——

The little grey devil jumped to his feet.

From the conscious moment of birth, he began hunting and raised himself to this age alone. Although he looked malnourished and emaciated, his body contained terrifying power that was completely out of line with his appearance.

He attacked the demon that had previously thrown away the gift before.

The small figure disappeared into the air the moment it jumped up. In the next seconds, all anyone could hear was the demon’s cursing. At first, he was still resisting, but as time passed, the wounds on his body grew more, and it quickly became a bloody mess. During this time, some of the demons came forward to try to stop him. However, the speed of the little devil was too fast, and these creatures with only strength but no speed could not catch him, so they could only let that demon be attacked even more severely until it fell to the ground.

Only then did people see the little grey devil.

Squatting on the bloody demon, the little devil was holding a big box in his hand, with a blank expression, he stuffed the bones in the box into the demon’s mouth one by one.

After stuffing everything, he took the money and picked up the empty box before leaving.

The next day, the lamb-horned demon got the box he made for the little grey devil.

“Did the other party accept the gift?” He lowered his head, and asked the little devil that only reached upto his thigh.

“Accepted.” The little devil nodded.

“Was the other party happy?” The old demon stared expectantly with a pair of big eyes.

The little devil thought for a while, and finally said: “He was very full.”

If you are full after eating, it should mean that you are happy, right?

Thinking of this, the old demon smiled happily: “If they accepted the gift, then it means no one will bully you in the future!”

The corners of the little grey devil’s mouth turned up slightly, revealing a small smile.

However, after that day, few people would dare to blatantly bully the little grey devil.

In addition, Abu also started working smoothly.

According to Ji Huan’s reminder, although he thought it was a bit wasteful, he still bought insurance, the cheapest one.

After the first robbery was done, Abu received a lot of money. He used the money to treat Ji Huan and little grey devil to a meal.

Later, every time he came back from the robbery, if he made money, he would invite them to dinner. Ji Huan and the little grey devil would also treat him when they were paid. Gradually, this became a common practice among them.

With a stable job, a regular life, and new things to deal with every day, Ji Huan came in contact with more people and finally found his foothold in this world.
