Ying Qiao did not take any action and let Nüba leave. Many monsters who arrived one after another saw it.
Although everyone was secretly shocked that Ying Long had let the suspect go so openly, no one dared to confront Ying Qiao in person and ask how he could let the suspect go as this was against the rules!
After all, they wanted to live longer.
As a result, Taotie asked the questions they dared not ask!
The monsters glanced at Jiang Lan, and all of them thought he had a look of gluttony on his face.
It is indeed a ferocious beast!
Jiang Lan was still waiting angrily for Ying Qiao’s explanation.
Tell the truth quickly!
If the answer is not to my liking, then you will lose your boyfriend.
Ying Qiao was stared at by him without blinking, and his nerves finally reacted a beat late. The sudden survival instinct made him tell the truth.
“Nüba has a special physique. She cannot stay in Jiangcheng for long. If we force her to stay, there will probably be a drought.”
He let Nuba go, but he really had no intention of showing favoritism. Nuba was a solitary person, and she lived alone. She never liked to kill people or cause trouble, and she also disdained to lie. If she had done something, she would not deny it. She said that she was just cooperating with the Qian faction, which meant that she was indeed not a member of the Qian faction.
Moreover, in the case of Nüba, even if he brought her back to the bureau, Tai Feng would probably have to ask her to leave first, just like asking an ancestor to do it. Otherwise, if Nüba stayed in Jiangcheng for a few more days, the rainfall this year would be reduced by half.
Upon hearing this, the other demons suddenly realized that this was Nüba after all, not some other demon.
Only Jiang Lan was very unhappy!
Why did Ying Qiao even know about Nüba’s special physique?!
He wanted to ask more questions, but Long Yi attacked him again –
One of Long Yi’s bat wings was torn in half, and the other bat wing was left drooping behind him. So he could only rely on his fangs and claws to attack Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan’s brewing question was interrupted by him, and he immediately missed the opportunity to ask more questions. So he gritted his teeth and simply vented his anger on Long Yi.
Ying Qiao saw Jiang Lan first glance at him, and then fiercely pounce on Long Yi. Long Yi used sharp teeth and claws, and he also fought back with his sharp teeth and claws, tearing off Long Yi’s bat wings. Jiang Lan suddenly exerted force and hit him with his sharp horns, pressing him to the ground and rubbing him.
The monsters that were close retreated to make room for them.
Long Yi, who was pinned to the ground, let out an angry roar and struggled unwillingly.
“Be quiet!” Jiang Lan was in a bad mood, and his voice had also turned gloomy. He slapped Long Yi on the head with his paw to warn him to shut up.
Long Yi was stunned for a moment, then he turned his head and opened his mouth to spit out scorching flames towards Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan quickly pinched his mouth and blocked the flames. It was so intense that sparks came out of Long Yi’s nostrils.
“If you don’t accept my toast, you will have to drink the penalty wine[1].”
Jiang Lan suddenly sneered, raised his claws and broke Long Yi’s tail, and the broken tail was held in Jiang Lan’s claws.
He subconsciously put the tail into his mouth, and when he was about to eat it, he suddenly remembered that Ying Qiao was still there and quickly threw the broken tail aside.
The bloody claws were still wiped on Long Yi’s body.
He glanced at Ying Qiao secretly again.
Ying Qiao: …
Of course, he did not miss Jiang Lan’s subconscious action of bringing the broken tail to his mouth. He also understood what this action meant.
After all…he had seen his boyfriend’s eating live.
Looking at the bloody tail, Ying Qiao subconsciously rolled up his tail and suddenly felt a little confused.
He only knew that his boyfriend ate raw meat, but he didn’t know that his diet was so diverse that even his own people’s meat could also be eaten.
After all, they were all dragons.
Resisting the urge to look at the immersive severed tail, Ying Qiao said dryly, “If you want to taste it, you can take the tail back and clean it up…”
Jiang Lan took a look at the heavy tail, hesitated for a moment, and finally obeyed his heart: “Can I take it back?”
Such a big tail could be stir-fried, grilled or braised.
Don’t waste it.
Ying Qiao had no principles: “Of course, it’s useless for him to keep it anyway.”
The dying Long Yi: ???
Knock on mom!!!
Perhaps because he was pleased by the delicious food, Jiang Lan was less angry and decided to give his boyfriend another chance.
As he pulled the broken tail back and placed it at his feet, he rolled his eyes and asked casually, “I didn’t have time to ask you just now, do you know Nüba?”
“Yes.” Ying Qiao nodded and said, “She… should be considered my aunt, but this matter cannot be explained in a few words. I will tell you in detail when I return.”
Jiang Lan was stunned by the words “aunt”.
It was not Bai Yueguang[2] nor an ex-girlfriend?!
He was immediately delighted and was also a little glad that he hadn’t had time to say anything just now!
If it was his aunt, then this would be a huge misunderstanding!
Jiang Lan coughed lightly, as if he was not the one who had been showing a sour and angry face before. He said magnanimously instead: “Well, let’s talk about it when we get home.”
Since she is his younger aunt, there is no need to rush to explain.
The two reached a consensus, but the others were confused – why did Taotie and Ying Long look so familiar with each other?
They even seemed like relatives, which was not right.
Chen Hua, who arrived later, also felt something was wrong.
Clearly this guy was planning to outshine Taotie before he went out, when did he become so close to Taotie all of a sudden?
He walked forward and asked tentatively, “The surroundings have been sealed off. We have tried our best to restore the surrounding environment and eliminate the impact. Can we notify the bureau to cancel the first-level security?”
This question was directed at Ying Qiao, but Chen Hua’s eyes were on Taotie.
No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the atmosphere between the two people was a bit strangely harmonious.
“Tell Tai Feng about this.” Ying Qiao nodded in agreement.
He looked at Jiang Lan again, asking, “Shall we go to the bureau first before going home?”
Jiang Lan nodded and said, “Fourth brother has almost reached the bureau.”
Ying Qiao: …
He really didn’t want to hear Bi’an’s name again.
But the severe test is right before our eyes, and escaping from reality will not help.
If he wanted to be with his boyfriend for a long time, he must find a way to settle it.
Ying Qiao took a deep breath, and suddenly turned his gaze to Chen Hua, smiling slightly, “When you return to the bureau later, remember to buy some fruit for Fourth Brother.”
Chen Hua: ???
He suspected he was hallucinating.
Fourth brother???
Bi’an??? …
Chen Hua looked puzzled and even suspected that Ying Qiao had drunk fake wine.
“Who is the fourth brother you are talking about…?”
“Besides Bi’an, who else?”
Ying Qiao forced out an extremely hypocritical smile: “Jiang Lan’s fourth brother is naturally my fourth brother as well.”
“??????????”
Chen Hua could no longer understand this confusing relationship.
Taotie? Jiang Lan?
What’s the meaning?
He looked at the huge Taotie in front of him in shock, and asked the soul-searching question that Ying Qiao had never dared to ask: “Are you Jiang Lan?”
Jiang Lan tapped the ground with his claws and nodded.
My boyfriend knows it anyway, so it doesn’t matter whether other people know it or not.
“…”
Chen Hua’s gaze slowly moved from Jiang Lan to Ying Qiao.
At this time, Ying Qiao’s face turned pale.
Chen Hua stared at it for a while, barely managing to keep his facial expression straight.
But in fact, his heart was already filled with hahaha!
This old Dogecoin has come to this day!
He’s done too much, and now he’s finally getting his comeuppance, right?!
It is really the will of heaven that will spare no one!!!
He pursed his lips subtly, trying not to laugh: “Just buy fruit? Do I need to buy something else?”
A mere gesture of goodwill probably won’t make Bi’an forget his grudges and smile.
Chen Hua thought about it from his perspective and felt that Bi’an might want to twist Ying Qiao’s head off more.
As long as he thought about the scene, he couldn’t help laughing out loud.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!
It’s so cool to see Dogecoin get its comeuppance!
Ying Qiao did not miss the upturned corner of his mouth. He curled his lips coldly and thought to himself, since you are so unkind, don’t blame me for being unjust.
After all, friends are there to sell out at critical moments.
Noticing the furtive gazes from all around, Ying Qiao pursed his lips and said to Jiang Lan, “Leave the finishing work to others, shall we go to the bureau?”
“Yeah.” Jiang Lan looked at Long Yi who was silent again: “How can we take it back?”
Ying Qiao was very vindictive and immediately assigned the task to Chen Hua: “Chen Hua will get him back.”
Then he pointed to the broken tail on the side and said, “Send this to my place and have someone clean it up and put it in the refrigerator. Come back to the bureau after it’s done.”
Chen Hua: “…Okay.”
For the first time in his life, he was not dissatisfied with his work but was full of energy.
At worst, he would just have to hurry up in order to go to the bureau to watch the show.
Ying Qiao wanted to get rid of him? Impossible.
He was always at the forefront of eating melons!
….
After arranging the follow-up matters, Ying Qiao and Jiang Lan returned to the bureau together.
Before going back, Jiang Lan went to the lake to pick up Suan Ni and Jiao Tu.
——Suan Ni jumped down from the snail shell consciously, held the shrunken Jiao Tu on its head, and climbed onto Jiang Lan’s back nimbly!
After the two little guys were seated, Jiang Lan and Ying Qiao returned to the Monster Management Bureau together.
The journey back was very silent, Ying Qiao had a serious look on his face and no one knew what he was thinking.
Jiang Lan was also a little worried, thinking about what he could say when he met his fourth brother later so that the two of them would not fight on the spot.
After all, it had happened once before!
The two of them had their own thoughts in their minds and soon returned to the Monster Management Bureau.
Ying Qiao first went to tell Tai Feng about the situation in Taizi Lake. When he came out of Tai Feng’s office, he saw Jiang Lan talking to Bi’an.
Ying Qiao: …
The veins on his forehead twitched and he walked over with gritted teeth.
Just at this moment, Bi’an turned his gaze over, and the two looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Jiang Lan immediately looked at the two of them warily, fearing that they might suddenly start fighting.
Just when the situation was about to break out, a voice with an obvious smile interrupted.
Chen Hua was carrying a few boxes of fresh-cut fruits, and his eyes scanned the three people: “Am I late?”
Is the fight about to start?

[1] In the context of a social gathering, particularly in some cultures, refusing a toast can lead to being forced to drink a “penalty wine,” a drink of forfeit, as a form of social pressure or punishment. Toasting, or raising a glass in celebration or good wishes, is a common social custom in many cultures. In some cultures, particularly in China, refusing a toast can be seen as disrespectful or a sign of hesitation, leading to the imposition of a “penalty wine” or “fajiu” (drink of forfeit).
[2] “Bai Yueguang” which translates to “white moonlight” in English, is a Chinese idiom used in fiction and popular culture to describe a character or person who is idealized and unattainable, often serving as a foil to the current or present love interest.
