I Can’t Afford to Raise Taotie, So I Hand It Over to the Government from the Start

Zhou Sui, a disciple of the Shanhai Sect, had been worried lately because his pet Taotie was such a big eater that he simply couldn't afford to keep it. So he made a decision that went against his ancestors' wishes and turned it over to the state.

"Hello, Officer. I've got a Taotie at home, and it eats so much the place is nearly cleaned out. I really can't afford to keep it, so I'd like to turn it over to the state."

"I just found a divine dragon yesterday, the kind that can ride clouds and mist. Could the state send someone to collect it? If you don't, it'll eat me out of house and home. It's only been half a day, and it has already drunk three tons of tap water."

"Yes, Officer, it's me again. A Kui Ox wandered into my house yesterday. It keeps shooting electricity everywhere and ruined all my appliances. Send someone to haul it away, please. It's even more destructive than a husky."

"What? The state doesn't want it either? The divine beasts eat too much, and even the state can't afford to feed them?! And you want to return the divine beast to me?"

Zhou Sui felt completely innocent as he looked at the pile of divine beast cubs around him, all crying out to be fed. He had only wanted the state to raise his divine beasts for free. How had he managed to eat the state into poverty?
