The square was becoming more and more lively, with square dancing, fitness running, skating… the entertainment activities were rich and varied.
Jiang Lan watched the square dance for a while and saw that Nine Phoenix and the aunties in the dance troupe were getting along very well, so he went to hang out elsewhere with peace of mind.
Suan Ni got out of the bag at this time and lay on Jiang Lan’s shoulder, with his tail hanging behind his back, swaying leisurely.
From time to time, people stared at Suan Ni curiously. Jiang Lan also heard some people discussing whether this was a lion cub or a cat, and whether they should call the police.
Jiang Lan’s mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, and he quickly poked his brother’s rounder face and said, “Meow twice to prove that you are a cat.”
Suan Ni raised his neck obediently and meowed twice.
The voice was clear and cute, and the voice was resonant.
People around turned to look, and some asked curiously: “Brother, what kind of cat is this? It looks like a little lion.”
Jiang Lan smiled and said, “It was a gift from a friend. I don’t know much about it either.”
After saying that, he saw that there were no passers-by who wanted to report him to the police anymore, so he quickly took Suan Ni and slipped away to the woods where there were fewer people.
There were far fewer people in the grove, because the light was dim, and there were only a few couples walking here.
Jiang Lan found an empty bench and sat down, then let Jiao Tu out for a breather.
Jiao Tu, who was hiding in his shell, carefully poked his head out and looked out. Seeing that there were not many strangers around him, he became more courageous and poked out his pair of small horns.
Jiang Lan simply put him on his lap and let him slowly observe this novel world.
Suan Ni had already run away. It had nimbly climbed onto a branch and sat down, making high and low meows.
Jiang Lan narrowed his eyes in contentment, and the soft evening breeze blew through his hair, making even his soul relax.
No wonder so many people liked to walk and sit in the square after dinner.
Sitting in the woods, he could feel the quietness of being alone, but he could also hear the lively sounds coming from outside, and he felt like he was surrounded by excitement.
Jiang Lan relaxed and fumbled around in his bag for a while. He took out a bag of nuts of unknown variety and ate them like melon seeds.
He spread the toilet paper on his lap and placed the shelled nuts on the paper towel. He ate until a small pile had been piled up before him. He first fed one to Jiao Tu, then one to Suan Ni, and finally ate one himself.
Just when he was happily eating nuts, Ying Qiao drove quickly to Yuwan Plaza.
After parking the car, he remembered that he was in such a hurry to arrive that he neither told Jiang Lan that he was coming nor had time to change into his black Honda.
The silver Aston Martin was parked in the open-air parking space of the square, attracting the curious eyes of many people.
Ying Qiao calmed down his anxiety and called Jiang Lan again, asking where he was and if he was being bullied.
But the music in the square was too loud, and it was impossible to have a good conversation on the phone. He could only vaguely hear Jiang Lan saying that he was in the woods.
He quickly strode towards the woods.
He frowned inadvertently as he passed the lively square. The deafening music and noisy crowds made him feel uncomfortable. He could only frown and quickly walk through, heading straight towards the grove.
Therefore, he naturally did not see Nine Phoenix dancing happily among a group of elderly aunts.
Five minutes later, Ying Qiao finally found Jiang Lan in a secluded corner.
Unlike how he imagined his little monster being bullied, the little monster was sitting on the bench intact. There were even a few paper towels spread out next to him on the bench, with peeled nuts and discarded nut shells piled on them. The little monster’s brother and cousin occupied the other side of the bench, and both little things were diligently eating the peeled nuts.
Ying Qiao: ……
Things seemed a little different from what he thought.
He closed his eyes, stepped forward calmly, and looked the little monster up and down again: “Jiufeng didn’t do anything to you, right?”
It was also his misunderstanding. Jiufeng was also an ancient demon after all. The little monster was still just a little kid with low cultivation level. Although he had heard that Jiufeng had a bad temper and often got into fights with others, those were big monsters who were on par with her, and he had never heard of her bullying little monsters.
Jiang Lan looked at him in surprise. If his expression could be visualized, then his head would probably be filled with question marks.
“Why did you come here suddenly?”
It was too noisy on the phone just now, so he couldn’t talk properly. At this moment, looking at Ying Qiao standing in front of him, he still felt a little confused.
They were obviously chatting on WeChat just now, so why did he come just as soon as he said he was coming?
He thought hard, then his eyes lit up and he asked, “Did you also want to see Jiufeng dance?”
Jiufeng was also an ancient demon after all. The scene of the ancient demon dancing in the square was worth watching. He didn’t expect Ying Qiao to like watching the fun so much.
Ying Qiao was startled by his question, and then fell silent: “What square dance?”
Jiang Lan was even more surprised than him: “Didn’t you watch the video I sent you?”
Ying Qiao really didn’t watch it. He saw the little monster send a message saying that he had met Jiufeng and hurried over in a hurry.
“I didn’t have time to see it.”
After a pause, he added: “I thought you met Jiufeng and were bullied by her.”
Jiang Lan looked at him blankly.
Unexpectedly, Ying Qiao rushed over because he was worried about him. Jiufeng was an ancient demon, but Ying Qiao was just an ordinary snake demon. He didn’t know that he was Taotie and he might even offend Jiufeng, but he still came.
He felt warm in his heart but did not dare to look at him. He said in a low voice: “I’m fine. Jiufeng just had a dispute with the aunts because of the venue. I came to mediate. They have reconciled just now. Now they are dancing together in the square you came from.”
In order to reassure him, Jiang Lan added: “Jiufeng is quite easy to communicate with and didn’t bully me.”
His original intention was to make Ying Qiao believe that he was not bullied, but Ying Qiao shook his head and said, “That’s because you haven’t seen her go crazy. I heard that Jiufeng was a famous lunatic in ancient times. Anyone who offended her must be prepared to be resented by her for the rest of his life.”
“…”
Jiang Lan felt a little cold on the corners of his head. He subconsciously touched his forehead and stammered: “Is she so vindictive?”
Ying Qiao nodded: “She has a bad temper and likes to fight and cause trouble. Her chip points have only been reset for more than a year, and now they have almost all been deducted.”
Jiang Lan nodded blankly: “Yes, she just said she only had ten points left.”
Ying Qiao couldn’t help but rub his head and tell him: “So if you meet her again in the future, it’s best to avoid her. If you accidentally provoke her, it will be a big trouble. She is pettier than Yazi. You know Yazi, right? It’s the monster who is famous for being petty and vengeful in Dragon Palace.”
Jiang Lan: ???
Just say Jiufeng, when you say Jiufeng. Why did you suddenly cue Yazi?
The smile on Jiang Lan’s face suddenly became less bright. He frowned and said seriously: “Yazi is not very narrow-minded, he just protects his shortcomings.”
Suan Ni on the bench meowed, and Jiao Tu knocked on his shell hard, both agreeing with Fifth Brother’s words.
Ying Qiao just said it casually, but he didn’t expect the little monster to refute him so seriously.
He pursed his lips and suddenly remembered the little monster’s protection of Taotie. He tentatively asked, “You like Yazi too?”
Jiang Lan nodded: “I like it. He’s just a little short-tempered, but he’s actually not bad.”
Yazi was the seventh eldest son in the Dragon Palace, but he never considered him as a younger brother, and preferred to regard him as an elder brother. Jiang Lan was the last one to be taken back to the Dragon Palace. Although Yazi said he disliked him for eating too much, when the big monsters and little monsters he chased and bit came to ask for explanations, Yazi was the one who beat them back.
Jiang Lan later heard from his eldest brother that Yazi heard a demon speaking ill of him outside and chased him for a month. He beat him until he cried and admitted his mistake, before he stopped.
Although there were many rumors about Yazi in the outside world, in Jiang Lan’s heart, Yazi was just a short-sighted younger brother who had a sharp mouth but a soft heart.
Of course he couldn’t let Ying Qiao listen to rumors and smear his brother.
After hearing what he said, Ying Qiao felt as if he had eaten a whole lemon.
But he didn’t dare to say it.
He was shouting in his heart that Yazi’s pettiness was even not worth it, but instead he said, “Really? That may be because I have some misunderstandings about Yazi.”
Jiang Lan nodded seriously: “Yes, there are too many rumors out there, you can’t believe them.”
Ying Qiao: ……
Where did the little monster eat the brainwashing kit?
Angry.
Ying Qiao felt very unhappy and couldn’t figure out where the little monster’s strange filter for Yazi came from. He really wanted to get to the bottom of it, but this would inevitably bring up Yazi’s dark history. He still remembered that the little monster got angry after he said something bad about Taotie last time.
He couldn’t be so direct this time, he had to be more tactful.
So he asked tactfully: “You seem to know Yazi very well? I heard that after the Heavenly Power dissipated, Yazi also dissipated in the catastrophe, right?”
In ancient times, humans and gods lived together, and heaven and earth could communicate with each other. It was not until Emperor Zhuanxu, Emperor Mingzhong and Emperor Li Juedi emerged that communication between the two realms was severed. The road to the sky was cut off, the communication between the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was blocked, and countless pagan gods who were stranded in the world perished and disappeared into the heaven and earth. From then on, the Pagan Gods was no longer called gods, but monsters.
And Yazi was just one of the thousands of dissipated shaman gods.
How many once-mighty pagan-gods had fallen in the catastrophe, until no one remembered their names anymore.
What was so special about Yazi that the little monster still missed him?
Ying Qiao waited unhappily for Jiang Lan’s answer.
Who would have thought that before Jiang Lan opened his mouth, his eyes turned red first. He glared and said to Ying Qiao with a straight face: “Yazi has not dissipated! Don’t talk nonsense!”
After the Heavenly Power, the catastrophe of the Pagan God’s fall did not come instantly, it was a slow process.
It began with Emperor Zhuanxu and ended with the Qin Dynasty. In the intervening period of more than a thousand years, the powerful pagan gods in the past fell one after another.
It was also because of this that the seal left by the Yellow Emperor to suppress him was weakened, and he was able to escape from the seal. After wandering for many years, he was taken back to the Dragon Palace by his eldest brother, and he gained eight more brothers.
But the good times did not last long, and the disaster eventually affected the Dragon Palace. The second child Chiqi, the third child Pulao, the sixth child Gongfu, the seventh child Yazi, and the eighth child Suan Ni all suddenly disappeared one after another one day.
——Those fallen pagan gods suddenly lost their traces one day, and no one could find them anymore.
Later, the eldest brother used a secret method of the Dragon Palace and sent countless people to search everywhere, and finally found a dragon egg in a wasteland.
After this dragon egg hatched, it was found to be Suan Ni who had returned to the cub stage.
So over the years, Dragon Palace had never thought that other dragons had completely disappeared. With the example of Suan Ni in front of them, they all believed that maybe the other dragon sons had just transformed into dragon eggs and were hidden somewhere, still waiting silently for the Dragon Palace to take them home.
The author has something to say:
Baby Lanlan: Yazi is fine and has not dissipated. You are talking nonsense!!!
Longlong:…?
How come the little monster chases stars so sincerely?
Adolescent cubs are so difficult to understand.
