[For curing every kind of emo mood] [Ridiculous, sweet, satisfying, one-on-one]
Haidongqing had a terrible temper. After being blacklisted for the Nth time for biting his boss, he got a card-drawing system and finally understood: he really was extraordinary. No wonder he couldn't hold down a job.
System: Host! You have a whole card pool of demon beasts. What are you planning to do with them?
Haidongqing: If this were a chaotic age, I'd rule the world. But since we live under the rule of law, I might as well start a company.
Well, well. The dragon-slaying hero has become a dragon himself!
System: Great idea! But... the cards you draw at first might not have very good stats or levels... I mean...
After being a Host for a while, Haidongqing finally understood why the System had been so hesitant.
Rats, rabbits, sparrows... and eggs. What kind of nonsense was this? These weren't just a little bad!
Haidongqing: "Demon beasts? Are you kidding me?"
So much for the grand, mysterious company he'd been promised. It was hard enough just to open a farm these days.
The little animals huddled together: "..."
They were all nobodies from the cultivation world. The System had tricked them just before they died, saying there was food to be had here. It wasn't planning to eat them, was it?

After the demon beast zoo opened, more and more impressive beasts moved in, including powerful demons like white tigers and peacocks. After working there for a while, they all realized their jobs were rather improper, something like working in a brothel.
But the boss paid so well!
As the saying goes, once you're ashore, don't think about those still on the boat; once you leave the boat, don't bring up what happened aboard. They were all just earning money for spirit pills and medicine to heal their injuries. Nothing shameful about that.
Jiaolong: Hmph! I would never survive by selling my smiles.
Later, King Jia warned all the demons ferociously in private: Don't tell anyone back home that I do this sort of thing out here.
As if it were anything to be proud of?
[Reading Guide] Jiaolong pairing, lighthearted, silly, and nonsensical.
Theme: People can thrive by moving, while trees die if moved. Never lose the courage to start over.
