Ying Qiao was flying at a low altitude, while Jiang Lan was running on the ground. Just by lowering his head slightly, he could see the agile and smooth figure of Taotie below.
This was the first time he looked at Taotie seriously and without any prejudice.
The jet-black scales on its body reflected a lustrous halo in the sun, and its spine extended backwards, connecting to a slender and powerful dragon tail. The pair of sharp horns on its head curved backwards, and the dark brown horns were sharp and full of power. There were two ears under the curved horns, and there was a small tuft of hair at the base of the ears, which looked furry.
To be honest, it indeed looked very majestic and domineering. It even looked a little cute after looking at it for a long time.
But he still felt it was unreal. He couldn’t connect his cute, furry little lion boyfriend with the mighty and domineering beast Taotie below.
How could such a cute little monster be a Taotie?
This shouldn’t be.
But no matter how unwilling Ying Qiao was to admit it, he had to face this cruel fact.
The little monster he thought was soft, fragile and in need of care was just his wishful thinking. In fact, his boyfriend was strong enough to fight him for three hundred rounds when he turned back to his original form!
Moreover, he had the support of Dragon Palace and had eight brothers!
Not to mention the other brothers, the fourth brother Bi’an alone had a mortal feud with him.
As soon as they met, they wanted to fight until death.
When Ying Qiao thought about the last time Bi’an rushed to the company to fight him, he felt like he was about to suffocate. It was as if all the strength in his body had been drained away, and he felt so weak that he could fall from the sky at any moment.
Chen Hua once said to him: Sooner or later, you will pay for what you have done.
He had sneered at that time.
Now he finally understood this truth deeply.
Unfortunately it was too late.
Thinking about how he had accidentally discovered that Bi’an had a crush on Chen Hua, and how much he had fed Bi’an with sour lemons, he suddenly felt that his future was bleak.
Moreover, he was looking forward to Jiang Lan taking him back to meet his parents, thinking that he had no brothers, and Jiang Lan’s brothers would be his brothers in the future.
Now, he just wanted to take Jiang Lan as far as possible.
It was nice to be an orphan.
While their thoughts were in a mess, the two had already arrived at the territory of Taizi Lake.
But before they could get close, a strong wind carrying a heat wave hit them in the face. The surrounding temperature was too high, and the air was filled with smoky air, causing my vision to become slightly distorted.
The green seedlings in the farmlands had become dehydrated and wilted, the water in Taizi Lake was steaming like a hot spring, and the fish that did not have time to escape had turned upside down in the boiling water, floating on the water in large groups.
——Nüba was fighting with the black dragon.
The huge bat wings behind the black dragon flapped, stirring up a strong wind, and its mouth opened wide to spew out flames. Nüba dodged to the side, floating in mid-air on the flames, with green flames dancing under her palms, and countless flames of varying sizes floating around her, making her cold white skin look bluish.
She turned her wrist, and green flames attacked the black dragon from all directions as if directed by her arm.
The black dragon was large, and its dodging was not as agile as that of Nüba. Although it dodged most of the flames, one or two wisps of fire still penetrated its body, and its hard scales seemed to be drained of moisture in an instant, becoming dry and wrinkled, and then the scales fell off one after another, revealing its fragile interior.
The two of them fought back and forth.
The farmland around them was in ruins, with only charred soil left, while the high temperature and fire were still spreading around them.
When Jiang Lan and his companions arrived, they happened to see a young man crouching and sneaking, dragging a bronze tripod and running in the opposite direction.
The two sides collided head-on and were both stunned.
Jiu Ding never thought that he would be so unlucky! Before he could escape from the tiger’s mouth, the dragon that had imprisoned him before came back again!
What kind of fate was this for him?
It’s too bitter!
It seems like God wants him to die!
“Spirit of the artifact?” Ying Qiao narrowed his eyes, and the dragon head almost touched the Nine Cauldrons.
“So you ran away by yourself?”
When he took the Nine Cauldrons away from Sishui, he didn’t know what to do with them. Whenever he saw the Nine Cauldrons, he thought of Geng Chen and felt annoyed. But he was even more annoyed when he was asked to give up the Nine Cauldrons that had a wisp of Geng Chen’s dragon soul.
So he simply threw the Nine Cauldrons into a cave filled with gold, silver and jewels.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Hundreds of years passed since he threw it away. When he remembered to take a look, he found that the Nine Cauldrons had disappeared.
He thought it was stolen and was furious for a while, but he couldn’t find the Nine Cauldrons after searching everywhere, so he had to give up.
At that time, he suspected many people who might have stolen the tripod, but he never thought that it was the Nine Cauldrons that gave birth to a spirit and ran away on its own.
Jiu Ding glared at Ying Qiao angrily but could not say a word. He picked up the bronze tripod without saying a word and turned around to run in another direction.
He won’t accept his fate!
He would rather die than be without liberty!
Seeing Jiu Ding trying to run away, Ying Qiao went to stop him first.
Seeing this, Jiang Lan left the Nine Cauldrons to him and leaped towards Nüba.
Nüba was attacked from both sides, and she twisted her body in a panic, barely avoiding his sharp claws.
“Taotie?” She stared at Jiang Lan, her eyes flashing slightly.
At this time, Jiang Lan, Nüba and Black Dragon were in a three-legged tripod.
“Are you looking for the Nine Cauldrons?” Jiang Lan bared his teeth at her, revealing the cooperative relationship between Nüba and the Black Dragon.
He sneered: “Is this because of the uneven distribution of the spoils and internal strife that you are now fighting?”
The Black Dragon’s eyes were sinister, but his tone had become unusually polite: “Mr. Jiang may have misunderstood. I came to your country for an exchange visit on behalf of the United States. I encountered such a danger on your territory, but you still want to turn the tables and throw dirty water on me…”
His tone sank slightly: “If so, I will tell the government and the people of my country everything that happened today… I hope your country can give a reasonable explanation at that time.”
“Mr. Long Yi, I think you’ve made a mistake.” Jiang Lan revealed his identity and said in a cold voice, “The one who came to the United States for an exchange visit was your twin brother Long Bing. As for you, you have never had an entry record. How can your life or death have anything to do with us?”
Long Yi’s expression froze. He didn’t expect that he could actually see through his identity directly.
While his younger brother Long Bing came to China openly for an exchange visit, he disguised himself and sneaked in to gather information. At the same time, he met with members of the “Qian faction” he had been in contact with before and reached a cooperation – this was what they had planned long ago.
He and his younger brother Long Bing were twins, and no one could tell their identities apart except those who were very familiar with them.
According to the original plan, during the exchange visit, Long Bing was responsible for dragging the people from the Monster Management Bureau to divert attention. He would then secretly cooperate with the members of the Qian faction to find the Nine Cauldrons. If his whereabouts were accidentally exposed, he could also use Long Bing’s name to conceal the truth.
Last night, Long Bing went to Nancheng, and he had been waiting for news in the hotel. In the early morning, the people of Qian Sect told him that the operation had failed and that the Nine Cauldrons had not been found. He was originally planning to go to Nancheng again this morning to meet with the people of Qian Sect to discuss the follow-up matters. As a result, when he passed by Taizi Lake, he unexpectedly ran into the Nine Cauldrons and the Nine Cauldrons’ spirit.
Before this, none of them, including the people from the Qian Sect, knew that the Nine Cauldrons had actually given birth to a spirit.
His first reaction was of course to take the Nine Cauldrons away, but who knew that Nüba, who he had met once before, would jump out halfway and snatch the cauldron, leading to the current situation.
When he saw people from the Monster Management Bureau coming, he was not panicked at all.
Before setting off, he sent a codeword to Long Bing. After receiving his message, Long Bing would definitely find an excuse to avoid the sight of the Monster Management Bureau in order to cooperate with his actions.
But he never expected that the person from the Monster Management Bureau would reveal his identity in one sentence and even planned to make him disappear from the land of China.
Long Yi flapped his bat wings and growled, “Then let’s see if you have the ability to keep me here.”
Jiang Lan’s eyes flashed coldly as he looked at the reinforcements that were arriving from afar. He then turned his head and told Jiao Tu, “Fourth Brother should not have arrived yet. Take good care of Xiao Ba and cooperate with the others in the Monster Management Bureau to seal off this place and prevent the flames and fire from spreading further.”
Jiao Tu responded, transformed into a human form and jumped off his back, picked up Suan Ni and jumped into the Taizi Lake.
In an instant, the lake water began to boil and evaporate, and then a gigantic snail and clam inlaid with colorful gems emerged from the lake. Jiao Tu stuck half of his body out, and bursts of cold air emanated from him, calming the boiling lake water.
He gulped down a mouthful of lake water and spat it out toward the still-burning farmland on the shore.
“I’ll deal with Nuba, and you deal with Long Yi, is that ok?”
Jiang Lan saw that his brothers had already started to put out the fire and the people from the Monster Management Bureau had already started to cordon off the scene, so he had no more worries.
Ying Qiao who returned with the Nine Cauldrons in his hand: …
He looked at Nuba with complicated eyes and said to Jiang Lan, “Switch, I want to talk to Nuba.”
As he said this, he threw the tied up Nine Cauldrons aside and walked towards Nüba.
“???”
This time it was Jiang Lan’s turn to be filled with questions.
He looked at Ying Qiao, then at Nüba, and then slowly opened his eyes.
Speculations such as Bai Yueguang, ex-girlfriend, etc. went through his mind, and he reacted quickly and said, “She is in the same group with those people in Nancheng!”
What’s there to talk about? Don’t even think about giving in!
I’m watching!
Ying Qiao paused and stopped three or four meters away from Nüba.
He was much taller than Nüba, and with his dragon head lowered, he looked down at her and whispered, “Ji Xian, long time no see.”
Nüba looked up at him from afar, and ripples appeared in her eyes that were as calm as a deep pool: “You seem to be doing well.”
Ying Qiao nodded and sneered, “As long as you don’t learn from that idiot Geng Chen, everyone can live a good life.”
Nüba nodded in agreement: “You are smarter than him.”
He added: “Since you are here, I will leave the Nine Cauldrons to you. I am leaving now.”
“What are you looking for Jiu Ding for?” Ying Qiao stopped her, his eyes scrutinizing her, “I thought after all these years, you should have found a new love and forgotten him completely.”
Nüba remained silent, but her expression became even colder.
After a while, she said coldly: “I just don’t want to accept it.”
She was unwilling to accept that he chose the human race over her, and she was even more unwilling to accept that she was the one left behind…. Even so, she still couldn’t forget it.
Nüba’s face was covered with a layer of frost, but the flames around her became hotter. The blue flames burned fiercely, and the temperature around her, which had been temporarily stable, rose sharply again.
“I can’t stay any longer.” Nüba looked at him deeply, and her figure gradually faded away like a faded oil painting.
“The people in Nancheng were from the Qian Sect. They have been looking for the Nine Cauldrons. I was just partners with them.”
Before she finished her words, her figure disappeared in the rolling flames.
Jiang Lan, who had been listening attentively, suddenly widened his eyes in anger: !!!
He didn’t even care about Long Yi and just kicked Long Yi away with one claw. With his front claw still holding half of Long Yi’s bat wing, he turned around and questioned Ying Qiao: “Why did you let Nuba go?!”
What is your relationship?
