You are not monster girls!

Chapter 21: There are many tricks between young lovers
"How about our new product, miss?"

"Not bad!"

“Do you want to buy it?”

"Need not."

At this moment, Bai Mengqing was squatting behind the shelf in the baking area, quickly finishing the toast with toothpicks stuck in it. She licked the corner of her mouth stained with mayonnaise, and stared at the tasting table of freshly baked pizzas not far away with her pupils shining.

It's clearly a market, but there's actually a restaurant inside.

It’s still free!

And those mortals wearing aprons are not only easy-going and polite, but also considerately cut into small pieces!
Since Lin Muren is so worried about money, isn’t it enough for me to just have enough to eat here?

The dragon girl thought of the camouflage and slapped the floor hard, then immediately turned around to look for the next target and quickly locked onto a yogurt tasting point.

Hmm. Why does it smell sour?
"Hello, this is our newest pure yogurt. You can get a discount if you buy two bottles at a time."

"Need not!"

If you buy it, you have to pay, but if you don't buy it, you don't have to pay.

Bai Mengqing sternly refused the salesman before he even finished speaking, and quickly teleported to the snack area.

As soon as the clerk in the roasted nuts section raised the tray, Bai Mengqing skillfully raised the cup, inhaled it violently, and threw the cup into the trash can, all in one go.

"Miss, we have other things here."

Bang!

When the dragon girl turned around with her cheeks puffed out, she accidentally knocked over the promotional sign. By the time the clerk put up the "Second Half Price" sign, she had already slipped into the seafood sashimi area.

“Free tasting of freshly cut salmon~”

fish?
The sushi chef's shout made all the scales on her tail stand up, and she immediately moved forward.

Eating fish is a part of every dragon's life, or more precisely, every sea dragon like her has to savor it every day.

From the time she traveled through time until now, she has never tasted what fish in "modern" society tastes like.

It’s just that the name of this store is really weird.

It's clearly a place that sells sashimi with rice, so why is it called a "die-in shop"?

Forget it, don’t talk while eating and don’t talk while sleeping, just eat first as a sign of respect.

When the cold fish meat touched the tip of his tongue, Bai Mengqing suddenly froze - why did it taste like a mermaid?
In this era, mortals actually eat mermaids. It's terrible.
Could it be that milk dragons are dragons whose internal organs have been eaten out, leaving only their skins filled with milk?

No wonder there are no horns
The dragon is so scary, I didn’t expect there are people eating dragons here!!
I'd better eat a few more pieces to calm my nerves.

"Well, Miss, the fish is best eaten with mustard and soy sauce; it tastes even better."

Bai Mengqing curled her tail around her legs and, trying hard to suppress her trembling, poked a few more pieces of fish meat around the mustard, dipped them in a little soy sauce and swallowed them. The clerk over there couldn't help but feel strange. He looked at her and took a piece to taste.

The taste is fine, why does this lady feel like a death row inmate when eating it?

"How does it taste, young lady?"

Bai Mengqing looked up at the clerk. The bald man had his sleeves rolled up and just picked up the knife and cut into the large piece of fish with great precision, which scared her so much that she shuddered all over.

“Is it delicious?!”

The dragon girl accurately threw the toothpick into the trash can. After running for a distance, she realized that she seemed to have lost contact with Lin Muren. When she was about to find the way back, she realized that she didn't know the way at all and could only wander around the underground floor according to her memory.

After turning the corner, Bai Mengqing discovered that there was a table outside the store, and many human cubs gathered around it.

What is this doing?
Could it be something related to food?

"Miss, we're a newly opened cultural experience center. We're focusing on rediscovering traditional culture. Would you like to try it?"

"Cultural Experience Hall?" Bai Mengqing tilted his head slightly, not understanding what the other party was saying.
When the clerk saw Bai Mengqing stop, he took the initiative to hand over the brush and pulled her to the table with a large piece of rice paper:

"Long-term study of Chinese painting can improve your temperament and make you more attractive to your boyfriend. Of course, we also have other types of paintings, such as resin paintings."

Boy friend?
Girlfriend refers to a female friend, and boyfriend refers to a male friend.
You should be talking about Lin Muran, right?
If I could attract Lin Muran's attention, maybe he would be less harsh on me when pinching my tail.
Bai Mengqing reached out to take the brush, but when her fingertips touched the pen shaft, she hesitated and retracted her hand.

wrong!

This guy is probably like those mortals in the "tasting" store, trying to get me to buy something.
The ghost expert told me to avoid causing trouble outside. If I did that without his permission, I might get into trouble.
"It's okay. This is specially for customers to experience. The paper and pens are free. It doesn't matter if you can't draw well. The most important thing is the learning process."

"Yes, sister, it's okay. My mom told me to face failure bravely. If your painting is not as good as mine, we won't laugh at you." The little girl with pigtails echoed. The painting is not good???

Although she didn't understand what a cultural experience center was, she took the words of the human cub and the female clerk to heart.

I have been practicing the art of painting in seclusion for nearly a hundred years. How can I allow a bunch of mortals like you to comment on it?

"Hmph, it seems you are determined to force me to take action." Bai Mengqing snatched the pen, walked to the front of the table, took a deep breath and concentrated his mind, then suspended the brush in the air.

As long as you don't use your own ink..
There shouldn't be any problem.

Anyway, the demon expert is so powerful that he should be able to find me, and he also said that he is here to show me the world today.

------

"Bai Mengqing!" Lin Muren, despite the risk of social disgrace, shouted into the supermarket under everyone's gaze.

The result was the same as before, no one answered.

Lin Muren went back to the place where he last saw Bai Mengqing and walked around. He saw a clerk struggling to lift up the sign and hang it up again. There were two adjacent black holes on it, which looked like they were poked by a corner.

"Hey, that girl is here with you too."

"Yeah, she looks like a very introverted and quiet girl, but I didn't expect that she is like a starving ghost." The clerk in the sushi area saw the two big holes in the sign from a distance and ran over to join in the fun.

Starving ghost, it seems that he is a stupid dragon.

"Someone just said in the group chat that the supervisor went to the restroom. I hope she can come back and help me meet my deadline."

"Oh, forget it. I just saw her heading to the snack street outside to eat. I should think about how to get other people to eat so that she doesn't get called out by the supervisor again."

Snack Street.
Lin Muren glanced outside and saw that there were too many people. Bai Mengqing didn't remember her bangs, so it was a bit difficult to find this gloomy and otaku girl in the crowd.

Gee.
Are you going to use that again?
After Lin Muren apologized to them, he carried the bag and walked to the corridor. He pinched his nose and began to search for the most unique smell of ink on Bai Mengqing's tail.

Combining magic and skills to track monsters is also one of the basic skills of a monster expert.

This is one of the few magic spells he can still use, but the effect and duration are not ideal.

And if you don't control it well, you may be fainted by the stench of the garbage station.

Lin Muren, who had been poured with Bai Mengqing's ink, remembered it very clearly. It was a bit like when ink is poured on rice paper, the smell is neutralized and has a hint of the fragrance of wood.

There are many messy smells in the mall, but the scent of this stupid dragon is unique and can be easily tracked even with weak effects.

Following the smell, I walked around and around, and finally ended up in a corridor full of corners.

He really didn't understand why the mall's routes were so complicated. Would anyone really come to rent this shop?
"Wow, big sister, the dragon you drew looks real."

"I'm so sorry, miss, I was a little too loud just now."

Lin Muren turned the corner and saw Bai Mengqing surrounded by a group of children and a shop assistant. He held his head high and his nose was almost up to the sky.

"Hmph, have you seen how powerful I am? Foolish mortal, if you want to criticize my painting skills, wait until you defeat my servant."

What the hell is a servant?

Even the stupid mortals came out. It was obvious that Bai Mengqing was so happy that he was completely indifferent. This immediately aroused Lin Muren's curiosity.

He walked forward and took a look, and found that the piece of rice paper in the middle was painted with a green dragon, its scales glowing faintly, and its eyes were slightly narrowed, as if blinking.

Looking at the whole thing, it feels like there's really a dragon lying on the paper.

This painting skill feels comparable to that of ancient masters.
“It’s just like the real thing.”

The clerk looked at the painting, stroking the edge of the rice paper with his hand, not daring to breathe, for fear that a breath would blow away the ink.

"The shape is secondary. As long as the divine will is in place, it will naturally take shape. Lin Muran, when did you arrive?"

"When you say servant."

Bai Mengqing was still looking at the clerk with his head held high, but after meeting Lin Muran's eyes, his voice instantly became much softer, and he lowered his head and stammered:

"I, I use their ink."

"It's okay, it's okay, our ink is free. This is your servant, your boyfriend, right?" The clerk hurriedly explained to Lin Muren.

I didn’t expect that such a charming girl would play so extravagantly in private. These days’ young couples are really scary.
