Chapter 67 Chapter 67
"Long Jun! Hug me!"
Ning Su touched the leopard head in his arms, was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but lower his head and stare at the other party.
He still needs to think about the fact that his number one fan nickname is "Deer", but his original form is a leopard.
When the most sensitive part of Lu Cao's neck was touched, he couldn't help but let out a comfortable purr. He raised his head and rubbed it into Ning Su's palm.
"...Wait a minute, what's your name?"
The name of this fanatical fan is "Lu". According to store owners who have dealt with it, it occasionally calls itself "Xiaocao".
In addition, the other party has always used spiritual herbs to lead the way, and all impressions seem to point to it being a herbivorous animal. But unexpectedly, the name and the true identity are completely different things.
"Ah?" Lucao was snoring comfortably, wishing Ning Su could touch him from head to tail without stopping. Hearing this question, he said in a daze: "My name is Lucao."
"You're not a deer?"
Nor are they cute small herbivores like elk or muntjac.
Hearing this, Lu Cao was even more confused: "I never said I was a deer."
Since this question was raised by Ning Su, Lucao did not feel offended, but explained carefully: "Our naming rules are different from humans. We can name it whatever we want."
"so?"
Lucao said seriously: "When I was a child, a deer kicked me in the head, and then I ate grass and had diarrhea."
To sum up, adding the two creatures that you hate the most to your name can achieve a warning effect.
Deer grass, hence the name.
Ning Su was silent for a while, but still couldn't help but typed a question mark.
What an advanced way of naming. It can easily fool people.
Stereotypes kill people!
"But this name does have some advantages." When he said this, Lucao felt a little shy.
Often when it transforms into a human form and gives its name, many people will subconsciously think that it is a harmless animal, and they can take advantage of it whether doing business or interacting with the monster.
Of course, if the other party has bad intentions and wants to fight, then Lu Cao will win big.
In the early years, when the second jackal bullied it, it used this method to beat the opponent unexpectedly.
How to put it, it's quite reasonable, but Ning Su was still silent.
Sensing Ning Su's silence, Lu Cao finally reacted and complained, "You didn't think I was a deer, so you hugged me, did you?"
Ning Su: “…”
Oops, a little preference was discovered!
In fact, it is not Ning Su's fault that he is obsessed with looks, but the reason why he was willing to use a hug to comfort Lu Cao was because he had a preconceived idea that the other party was a little elk.
But who knew that the other party was a huge leopard.
"...Why are you like this!" There was already a hint of tears in Lucao's tone.
Ning Su didn't want to seem too bad, so he quickly comforted her: "Actually, you are very cute too!"
also.
At this moment, Lucao's Chinese language learning had never been so good since he was a child. After figuring out the meaning of this word, he burst into tears.
Blame it for not generating a cute deer.
The fan benefits had already been distributed, and it was no longer appropriate to hug him. Besides, Ning Su had other questions to ask, so he tentatively let go of Lu Cao and let it out of his arms.
However, Lucao did not move.
After a gentle push, the other person raised his head and looked at him innocently, as if he was doing something bad and against the law.
Ning Su: “?”
You are committing fraud, do you know that?
Fortunately, as a peddler of the Ancient Dragon Demon Kingdom, Lu Cao had the most basic ability to read people's expressions. After staying in Ning Su's arms for two seconds, he reluctantly retreated.
It knew that its original form was not liked, so it sadly changed into a human form.
Woohoo, why isn’t it a deer?
The deer grass changed into human form, and the two demons felt much more at ease. They opened the door of the post station and let the sunlight and air flow in.
As the sunlight came in, Ning Su and Lucao's attention shifted to the goods piled up in the post station warehouse.
Lucao suddenly jumped up: "It's not that I didn't listen to you! It's that Jackal Erlang suddenly came and delayed me from watching the screen."
After they met and hugged each other, Lu Cao finally remembered the stupid thing he had done not long ago.
"You won't be angry about this, will you?" Lu Cao cautiously tested.
In fact, if you buy something but don't pick it up, and have to wait until no one is watching before picking it up, there may be this worry.
Over the past period of time, Lucao used his limited mobile data to surf the Internet and search for his ID and live broadcast related information.
Every time you search, you get a new surprise.
At the beginning, these humans speculated about how noble his identity was and how they looked down on Ning Su, and Lu Cao was full of questions.
How could it be so worthy as to look down upon the Dragon King?
Every time this happens, Lucao will try to present facts and reason, using the data it purchased and the platform's automatic purchasing function to explain why it did not stop in time.
At this time, there are always people who don't believe it and ask whether its pictures are photoshopped.
Soon, it discovered the crux of the matter. After the live broadcast that day, IDs with the same name as it popped up like mushrooms after rain, and there were more than 20 "Zuoxia Yao" alone.
Among these more than 20 demons, Lucao wanted to verify his identity, so he posted a screenshot of his platform. But who knew that because he was too introverted, a "demon" had already posted the backstage picture before him.
In this way, the real "monster under the seat" was mistaken for a fake.
After arguing with netizens online for several days, his cell phone ran out of battery. Lu Cao found a way to charge it before continuing the fight.
At this time, a series of fan fiction emerged.
Lu Cao looked at it for a few days until his cheeks turned red.
Oh my god, it's in love with the Dragon King? How could these humans think of that!
The Dragon King is still a cub!
Having said that, if you don't substitute the prototype, human novels are still very interesting. Lucao still read them for several days without sleep and rewarded several authors.
Because of reading the article, Lu Cao completely forgot about picking up the goods. Even when he received a text message reminder, he didn't bother to read it.
Hearing this, Ning Su felt a little complicated.
Who could have thought of this reason?
Before, Lucao bought things but didn’t pick them up, and he also acted mysterious and didn’t show up until the owner of the post station left.
To this end, the Monster Bureau held a special meeting to discuss the relationship between the neighboring monster bureau and the Monster Bureau, and made several contingency plans.
In fact, even during this meeting, the employees of the Monster Bureau were somewhat worried.
Although the "demon under the seat" next door appeared to be quite kind from beginning to end, he might not be pretending.
What if the other party is very scheming and intends to attract their attention from the beginning and hurt the monster this time?
It is precisely for this reason that even on weekends, several regular monsters in the Monster Bureau did not go off work, but instead stayed in a house not far from the post station. Once there was any movement at the post station, they would rush over as soon as possible.
But who knew that the demon bureau's preparations would undoubtedly be a fight against the air.
The reason behind this is undoubtedly heartwarming.
"Didn't you notice something wrong near the post station in the past two days?" Even though Lu Cao's logic was self-consistent, Ning Su still asked one more question.
Lu Cao was confused for a moment: "No, I was a little busy the past two days."
A fan fiction lady that I was following suddenly updated her work, and Lu Cao was very excited. If he hadn't known about the little golden dragon pillow, he probably wouldn't have published it.
As for why it didn't take the usual route and jumped off the roof of the inn, it was simply because it wanted to save time.
Who knew that the Dragon King was actually waiting for him inside the inn.
So how come it's not a deer?
"very good."
After finding out the reason why Lu Cao had not come to pick up the goods, Ning Su suddenly felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
As expected, imagination is not a good idea.
Especially when it comes to monsters that you are not familiar with, analyzing their motives is completely unnecessary.
After all, the living environment is different and the logic of both sides is completely different.
As if to confirm this statement, Lu Cao raised his head and asked eagerly: "Then Long Jun is not angry with me anymore, right?"
Ning Su: "I know you didn't mean it, so I'm not angry."
Yay!
These days, a heavy stone that had been pressing on his heart fell down, and Lu Cao felt a lot more relaxed.
"besides."
Lucao raised his head and his heart beat faster.
"...Read less human fan fiction." Ning Su hesitated for a moment and reminded.
He was afraid that Lu Cao would become addicted to it, not only wasting time but also changing his temperament.
Lucao's eyes dimmed for a moment.
Woo woo woo, it seems that Lord Dragon really doesn’t like these leopards.
Fortunately, this topic started quickly and ended quickly. After taking a look at the sky, Ning Su invited, "Will I treat you to a meal?"
"Okay!" Lu Cao agreed immediately.
Ning Su had booked a meal with Lucao in advance. Considering the other party's acceptance, Ning Su specially booked a home-style restaurant.
On the way to the restaurant, Ning Su also told his employees to disperse.
Lucao seemed to be aware of this, but for Ning Su's sake, it said nothing and just followed Ning Su to the restaurant obediently.
"Let's order some food."
This was Lucao's first time entering a human restaurant. He curiously looked at the menu for several minutes before hesitantly ordering a few vegetarian dishes.
Ning Su added some meat.
"You are a leopard, eat more."
Deer Grass was a little disappointed that he failed to disguise himself as the herbivore that Dragon King liked.
After ordering the dishes, the waiting time was a good time to chat. Lu Cao took the initiative to ask, "I wonder if Lord Longjun has anything you want to ask me?"
Although Lucao has a simple mind, he is not a fool.
It was delayed due to a series of things, but when it arrived, the Dragon King happened to be waiting for it. How likely is it that this is fate?
Reality is not fan fiction.
What's more, when it failed to pick up the goods in time, the platform promised it a little golden dragon pillow. Isn't this a kind of urging?
To sum up, the Dragon King wants to see it.
It bought something on the live streaming platform and the goods have arrived. The matter has been settled, and Long Jun also said that he was not angry because it was disobedient.
Then, the Dragon Lord must be looking for it for something else.
"According to the platform, you have two accounts for purchasing things?" Ning Su asked tentatively.
However, even though Ning Su had organized his words and tried to ask the question in a tactful way, at this moment, Lucao still became alert.
"How do you know?!"
Could it be that, in addition to liking deer, the Dragon King also likes monsters like Jackal Erlang?
The former is barely acceptable, but the latter is really unacceptable!
Seeing Lu Cao's reaction, Ning Su's heart sank.
But who knew that after a while, seeing the silence at the dinner table, Lu Cao finally couldn't help it and said in a crying voice: "Can you please stop liking Jackal?"
After saying that, he blinked like a deer.
Ning Su: “?”
Who is Chai Erlang?
Fortunately, after some confusion, Ning Su finally figured out Lu Cao's logic, and at the same time, understood the cause and effect.
"In other words, the account that was used briefly during the process belonged to Cha Jiro?"
"Yeah." Lucao was a little confused.
However, when it saw that Ning Su's face looked a little bad, it finally realized that it seemed to have misunderstood something.
"So where is it now?"
This time, Lucao did not fight for favor, but answered honestly: "It went out a few days ago."
The so-called "going out" naturally means leaving the ancient dragon demon country.
Also leaving with it were its companions that it used to hang out with.
Lucao realized something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong with it?"
Why did the Dragon King want to know the whereabouts of Chai Erlang?
Ning Su pondered for a moment, and finally told Lucao about the human trafficking incident that occurred in City G.
"What?! Kidnapping human cubs?" Lucao was also shocked. It didn't expect that the honest Jackal Erlang would do such a thing.
It is true that their demon country is very closed, but there are so many demons and they have their own rules.
Bullying young demons is prohibited, which is definitely the most important rule among these rules.
"No wonder Qiu Zhi said it smells bad."
How can you smell good if you do bad things outside?
"Qiu Zhi?" Ning Su asked curiously.
"It's my friend, it's a crocodile."
As a friend of Lucao, Qiuzhi's name naturally has a special meaning - in his early years, Qiuzhi liked to eat a kind of salmon, but because he ate too much, all the salmon in that area became extinct.
Then, Qiu Zhi gave himself this name to remind himself.
Even if you love to eat it, you have to stop eating it in autumn, so it is called "autumn stop".
Ning Su: “…”
Putting aside these irrelevant interruptions, Ning Su used his willpower to bring the topic back to Chai Erlang: "Then where will it go?"
Lucao thought for a moment and said honestly: "I don't know."
In fact, as a peddler of the Ancient Dragon Demon Country, the reason why Lucao communicates with Chai Erlang from time to time is because the other party can also be considered a peddler.
However, unlike deer grass which can only be purchased near the Monster Kingdom, the areas that several monsters like Chai Erlang can go to are much larger.
Many times, some expensive and large items in the Demon Kingdom - similar to human electrical appliances, furniture, and many new objects, were bought back by Jackal Erlang and his small group.
Because of this reason, even if Chai Erlang and others are not local monsters of the Monster Country, they can still enjoy a certain reputation in the Monster Country.
Therefore, Lucao could only roughly learn about the other party's whereabouts from the other party's bragging after dinner. As for the other party's latest whereabouts, he had no idea at all.
"etc."
Even though the topic at the moment was Chai Erlang, Ning Su still noticed the important information from Lu Cao's mouth.
“You can only buy nearby?”
Why?
Lucao's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he shrugged in a nonchalant manner: "Yes, I am a local demon who was born and raised here, I can't run around."
Once, when the clan elder was in a good mood, he let it slip that it and Qiu Zhi’s elders were once ministers of the demon country.
In the demon kingdom, there are ministers who serve the Dragon King, and there are also ordinary demons, and they are all descendants of the ministers.
That is why, in the entire ancient dragon demon country, they were the first group of demons to know Ning Su's identity, and they were also the first demons to read "Mountain Soul".
"Why can't the native monsters leave the monster country?" Ning Su asked curiously.
Lucao sighed softly, "Maybe it's because we are the subjects of the Dragon Lord."
Thousands of years ago, the Dragon King suddenly disappeared. Since then, some monsters in the Monster Kingdom have discovered changes in themselves - after these local monsters left the Monster Kingdom, their monster powers would become weaker.
At first, they thought it was their own problem, but later, rumors spread in the Demon Kingdom that the Dragon King had abandoned them.
Then, all kinds of blood curses emerged.
As time went by, they no longer liked to go out and stayed in the demon country all day long.
For some monsters who are used to staying at home, it is good not to go out, but Lu Cao has worked as a peddler and experienced freedom, so he is very confused about Long Jun's decision.
Why lock up the little demons in the demon kingdom?
It is obvious that they became subjects of the Ancient Dragon Demon Kingdom because they liked the Dragon King!
But why did the Dragon King not only disappear without a word, but also continue to restrict them after leaving?
Hearing this, Ning Su fell silent.
In the past, when he first came to W City and learned about the Ancient Dragon Demon Kingdom, he was also curious about why these monsters did not come out.
Secretary Du explained that this group of little monsters in the monster country are self-sufficient and do not need to work, so they just lie down in the ancient dragon monster country.
At that time, Ning Su was skeptical about this statement.
Later, because there were indeed deer grass active in W City and their behavior did not seem to be restricted, Ning Su was convinced from this perspective.
Perhaps, it is indeed because the little monsters in these monster countries are homesick and don’t like to go out.
But who would have known that today, Ning Su would get a completely new explanation from Lucao.
Of course, as usual, Ning Su also had some doubts about this statement.
Whether it is a TV series or a movie, it has been proven countless times in many stories that sometimes the truth cannot be based on one-sided words.
Moreover, as a dragon, Ning Su also has a certain understanding of the abilities of his own clan.
As for fighting, that is naturally no problem, but casting a curse, especially a curse that affects an area of hundreds of kilometers, it is obviously impossible to kill them.
So, is there another reason why these little demons cannot leave the demon country?
While Ning Su was concentrating on thinking about the problem, Lu Cao was crying beside him.
No, hug me. We are both in such a miserable state. Why doesn’t Long Jun hug me?
Seeing that Ning Su was lost in thought, Lu Cao simply reached out and hugged Ning Su's arm.
Ning Su thought it was really sad, so he reached out and patted its shoulder soothingly.
Lu Cao smiled with a look of success.
In fact, its explanation of this issue is half true and half false - the truth is that as a demon in a demon country, its behavior is indeed restricted.
If it is fake, it means that it is not as sad as it appears to be.
Over the years, it has figured out that it has no worries as long as it stays in the demon kingdom. Now there is also online shopping. Compared with those demons who live at every turn, they are much happier.
Of course, it would be happier if it could be free.
After a delicious meal, General Ning sent the deer grass back to the post station.
There were still some deer grass left in the post station.
I don’t know what magic Lu Cao used to stuff so many boxes of things into his pocket.
Ning Su was a little worried: "Can you sell these things?"
If I remember correctly, these things that Lucao bought to boost sales are not useful to many monsters.
"Don't worry, I have a solution."
After picking up the items purchased on the platform, Lucao picked up one more package.
It seemed that the space could not hold more, so it opened the box, and Ning Su also saw what was in the express delivery -
A pile of packaging bags with little golden dragons printed on them.
In Lu Cao's words, if the monsters from the Monster Country want this packaging bag, they have to buy a certain amount of the stuff.
Ning Su: “?”
No, isn’t it because you, the demon country, have lost your freedom that you don’t like dragons?
Lucao blinked: "How could that be? Black and red are also red."
Precisely because of this concern, anything related to dragons sells very well in the Ancient Dragon Demon Kingdom.
This is also the reason why it dares to buy randomly on the platform.
As a peddler, it still has certain professional ethics.
"...Okay." After agreeing that Lu Cao would go back and inquire about the news about Chai Jilang, the two parties finally said goodbye.
After parting with Lu Cao, Ning Su felt mixed emotions.
On the one hand, the identity of Chai Jiro was learned through Lu Cao. Although no one knew where he went, the case had made some progress.
On the other hand, it is about the situation of the ancient dragon demon country.
Is it true that the former Dragon King disappeared overnight and the little demons were unable to leave?
Ning Su was a young cub and knew very little about the past of these monsters. Much of his knowledge was gained from friends or elders.
So, as usual, he asked others about this question.
This other person is naturally the director of the general bureau who has dragon blood.
After reporting on Chai Erlang, the director of the General Administration responded indifferently.
As early as when they found the mobile phone, they assumed that this clue was lost, so this conclusion was not surprising.
But all this hard work was certainly not in vain - after realizing that Chai Erlang and others were related to the Demon Kingdom, at least the monsters in the Ancient Dragon Demon Kingdom would no longer provide any help to Chai Erlang and other monsters.
Just the loss of the vast amount of spiritual herbs in the Ancient Dragon Demon Kingdom is obviously a huge loss for them.
Ning Su nodded.
This is exactly what he thought.
However, when he ended the topic and asked questions about the Demon Country, this calm and composed director actually jumped up.
"Bah! Are they worthy? Stop making a scene!"
"That Dragon King wouldn't give them special care before he left, and he even cast a curse on them. A curse cast by the Dragon King himself, do they deserve it?"
Ning Su: Huh?
Answers that were never thought of have increased.
On the other side, Lucao returned to the forest with a lot of bags. The first thing he did was to meet the current leading demon of the Ancient Dragon Demon Kingdom, whom they called the elder of the tribe.
"I understand. Jackal Erlang and his men will be expelled from the Monster Kingdom. I will notify all the monsters in the Monster Kingdom."
"Go back to Jackal's room and see if there are any clues. Provide them to the outside world in time."
Regardless of whether or not he is willing to deal with the outside world, it is unforgivable that Jackal Erlang participated in the abduction of human cubs. Doing such a thing is like touching the reverse scale of the Ancient Demon Kingdom.
"yes."
After talking about what was happening outside, Lu Cao took out the goods he had purchased.
"You can sell it yourself and give me the share when the time comes." The elder didn't care and didn't even look at it.
"good."
After reporting all the problems to the elders, Lucao should have left. However, perhaps because he had felt something after meeting Ning Su today, he simply asked the questions that had been in his heart for a long time.
"What? The Dragon King cursed us and we can't leave? Where did you hear this?"
Seeing the elder asking back, Lu Cao looked confused.
Isn’t this the consensus of these demon countries?
After learning how the deer grass was formed, the elder breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, it's not your fault. It was a demon from the enemy family who sneaked in and spread rumors."
Lucao: “?”
Opponent?
After being introduced by the elders of the tribe, Lu Cao learned that thousands of years ago, there were more than just them who admired the Dragon King, and therefore, there was more than one ancient dragon demon kingdom.
However, they were the only ones who obtained an underground spiritual vein before the Dragon King disappeared.
"This should have been moved here by Lord Long himself before he left."
It is precisely because of this spiritual vein that their demon kingdom has never been dispersed. In comparison, other demon kingdoms could not be maintained and had long since fallen apart.
Out of jealousy, some monsters sneaked into the ancient dragon monster kingdom, spread rumors similar to the "Dragon Curse", and triggered a war.
At that time, the little demons including Lucao had just grown up.
"Why didn't you tell me later?"
The elder glared: "I have clarified it before!"
However, at that time, Lucao and Qiuzhi were both in their middle school years, so they didn't believe it even if the patriarch said it.
Then, I have kept this idea until now.
Deer Grass: “…”
Brainwashing packages kill people!
Lu Cao was dazed as he left the elder's residence with his goods, not realizing that he was missing something.
When it came time to sell the goods, Lu Cao looked everywhere but couldn't find the little golden dragon bags, and he immediately panicked.
No, where is the bag?
How can it sell things without this packaging bag?
The other side.
The elder happily placed the packaging bag of the little golden dragon on the cabinet. Next to it was the poster that Ning Su had hung on the billboard between W City and the Demon Country. The cut part was placed neatly on the table.
In addition, there are several pictures hanging in the elders' room, all of which are related to dragons.
The clan elder sighed and, for the rare occasion, lit a stick of incense for the dragon kings who had long disappeared.
It waited for a long time and thought that dragons had disappeared from this world. Just when it was about to give up, a dragon king came, and it was a cub.
It’s great that even when I get old, I can still continue to be a subject of the Dragon King.
