Chapter 98
◎Bai Ze is gone (second update)◎
"Delay your return for a few days? Why?"
While eating breakfast this morning, Jiang An suddenly learned that Si Lan would be delaying his return for a few days. He immediately became nervous: "Is there something wrong over there?"
"No." Lian Jiu shook his head, somewhat puzzled. "Brother Su called and told me he's growing up lately."
"..." Yuan Qing said darkly, "How can he grow up? He's already an old monster. It's people like us who are young and about to enter school who need to grow up."
"Really?" Lian Jiu teased him, "But you cried while memorizing words last night."
"Who's spreading rumors again?" Yuan Qing turned and glared at Jiang An, "Why are you saying anything?"
"I didn't say that! You were obviously crying while reciting the poem."
The attention of the two little ones was diverted, and Lian Jiu left the battlefield with a smile to avoid being affected by them.
There is nothing to do today. The four red sand pythons have been here for a while. Since Si Lan is not here, I will send them back to the Forestry Bureau.
Fortunately, Huama has the physical strength, otherwise Lian Jiu alone would not be able to lift these big boxes with one hand like Si Lan.
This was the first time that he left the demon world alone without Si Lan to do something.
When sitting alone in a car, Lian Jiu always subconsciously wants to look around.
When I realized what was going on, I even laughed at myself. What kind of mess is this? Si Lan never talked much even when he was around before, as if he didn't exist much, but why can't I get used to it all of a sudden?
He was only away for one day.
Lian Jiu suddenly realized that after arriving in the demon world, among all the demons and demon gods, he and Si Lan were the only ones he met every day.
Maybe because they were always together and it became a tacit fact, so now she realized that Si Lan still had his own things to do.
Regardless of whether he is working in the human world now or has other plans for the future.
It's impossible for me to be with him all the time.
Lian Jiu took out a pearl and held it in his hand, looking at it again and again, wondering how this thing could allow Si Lan to know his situation at all times.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to do anything, and the conch I gave him doesn't have that effect.
He might still be staying on that mountain. I heard that's where the monsters are sealed.
After thinking for a moment, Lian Jiu put the pearl away and sent a message to Si Lan: "When will you be back?"
On the other end, the moment the phone rang, Si Lan seemed to be frightened by something, and his ears instantly stood up. Although he kept trying to control himself, he couldn't help but pick up the phone at the first moment.
It was indeed a message from her.
I guess Su Caifeng has already told her that he will postpone his return for a few days.
Since she came to the demon world, Si Lan had never been separated from her for such a long time. This time, he had to go back to Fuyu Mountain and wanted to go back immediately after finishing his business. He would go back at most for two days, or even spend one day on the road.
only……
When Si Lan thought of what Su Caifeng said, how could she not guess it when she was so smart, she backed off.
It was as if a knife was hanging on his neck, waiting for him to go back and chop it off at any moment.
When he heard this, he was stunned for a long time before he slowly asked, "Since you know, why don't you say it?"
Su Caifeng asked: "Do you think her attitude towards you has changed recently?"
Si Lan shook his head, and shook his head again.
There are changes.
She was angry, angry at herself for the first time. She had never even been angry at other demon gods.
"Angry?" Su Caifeng didn't expect this result.
The head teacher is known for her good temper. I haven't seen her angry for a long time. Now she is angry with Si Lan?
This is a difficult situation.
If the head teacher notices this and gets angry at Si Lan, it might just be her attitude.
She didn't want to make things so awkward, so she could only stop him from thinking about it in advance?
"What did you say?"
Si Lan recalled: "She said she wanted to be her neighbor."
Su Caifeng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
It’s over. I didn’t really guess it.
In fact, Si Lan is not that bad. He is not as fierce as before. Unlike other playful demon gods who are out of tune all day long, according to humans, he is good-looking, works in the system, has five insurances and one fund, has no parents, and will have a house after he has a "car". He even keeps his bank cards in hand. Now he is even the legal person of the group, and his net worth is rising, while he only has to satisfy his hunger with snacks every day.
Apart from anything else, he has no ulterior motives and has been devotedly in love with the headmaster for so many years, so there is no possibility of him cheating.
This is definitely a perfect boyfriend. The head teacher wouldn't want to push him away so much, would he?
Unless... the headmaster doesn't want a monster as a boyfriend.
It seems understandable. The director has always regarded herself as an ordinary person. If she dies of old age in a hundred years, the demon gods will still be alive by then. Naturally, she doesn't want that.
If this is the problem, then there is no way to solve it.
But Su Caifeng still refused to accept that his CP would fail like this: "There are always more solutions than problems. How about changing your thinking?"
Si Lan: “?”
"Maybe the headmaster, like you, has no experience with relationships, so he hasn't figured it out yet."
Si Lan had reluctantly believed what he heard before, but he knew too well how smart Lian Jiu was and didn't realize that he didn't believe it at all.
Realizing that his idea was a bit naive, Su Caifeng added, "There's no worst-case scenario, right?"
"If she knows but hasn't told you, it means she still recognizes you as a friend." Su Caifeng showed his reliability at this rare moment and analyzed calmly, "That means she doesn't dislike you. There's still a chance."
Si Lan didn't say anything good or bad.
Su Caifeng patted his shoulder and said, "Do you really want to see her with other people then?"
Knowing that he would not be able to get over it for a while, Su Caifeng came up with an idea: "Now that you're back, don't rush back. Control yourself for a few days. No matter how much you miss her or how much you care about her, don't take the initiative to contact her. See if you can hold back."
Si Lan frowned: "How many days?"
"That's right." Su Caifeng seemed to see through him, "If you can't bear it these few days, then you'll be by her side all the time for the next few years. Do you really think you can control it?"
"The more you suppress it, the more terrifying it will be when it explodes." Su Caifeng tutted his tongue twice. "If she really gets together with someone else by then, with your vicious nature, you might just eat up that other man in one gulp."
Thinking of that scene, Si Lan felt that it was not impossible for him.
"What if, I couldn't help it..."
Su Caifeng chuckled twice: "Since you can't help it, then try your best. Since she has already noticed, this is the worst that can happen."
Si Lan didn't know why he agreed to Su Caifeng's suggestion so rashly.
Even before this, I was still worried about the possibility that this would send me into the abyss.
But whenever he thought that she might already know, it was like a fire was hidden in his heart. If there was no outlet to vent this fire, it was very likely that he would really bite another man to death in the future.
He couldn't deny it. Even though he had been restraining himself, his heart still longed for her to see him.
Even fall in love with yourself.
So maybe it wasn't that I agreed to Su Caifeng's suggestion, but what he said gave me a legitimate excuse to get a little satisfaction in such a despicable way.
At this moment, he looked at the message sent by Lian Jiu, and after enduring it again and again, he only typed three words: "Not yet decided."
Lian Jiu replied quickly: "Okay."
There was no further news.
Si Lan was left sitting alone on the top of the mountain, staring at these words again and again, waiting and waiting.
-
Lian Jiu didn't know how much torment Si Lan was feeling, nor did she have the time to guess. When she was delivering the red sand pythons to the Forestry Bureau, she was stopped by the director again: "Director, I have something to tell you."
"What's wrong?"
"When you were at Fuyushan Kindergarten, you rescued two children from the orphanage, right?"
Unexpectedly, this matter would be brought up again, and from such a long distance, Lian Jiu nodded: "Yes."
"Let's go to the conference room and talk," the director said, "along with some other colleagues."
When he arrived at the conference room, Lian Jiu discovered that the people inside were not only from the Forestry Bureau, but also from the Municipal Bureau.
"Director." One of them stood up. "Hello, we are from the Narcotics Squad."
"Hello."
Thinking of the two people who were caught before, Lian Jiu could probably guess what it was about, but what did this have to do with Wang Shuishui and Wang Junjun being a child?
"That's right," the man said. "We took those two people back and questioned them. They were indeed involved in drug use, but the drugs they described are new to us. We even looked up other new drugs abroad, and we couldn't find anything like what they described."
Lian Jiu nodded and listened carefully.
"Coincidentally, we now know that the two children you rescued earlier and the two people who kidnapped them also had the same experience."
Lian Jiu frowned: "You mean, those two people also smoked this?"
"Yes." The man nodded. "And we learned from our colleagues over there that those two people still had this kind of drug hidden at home. They were planning to sell it, but they didn't expect to be caught."
Lian Jiu asked gently, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
If not, these people wouldn't be waiting for me here.
"You're really smart. We really need your help." The two men took out an application for assistance. "This is a special application we submitted to the higher-ups, requesting assistance from your special department."
"us?"
"From what I understand, there are many talented individuals in the mountains under your jurisdiction, even experts and renowned doctors would be awed by their abilities," the man said. "Our colleagues over there have already obtained samples, but the chemical experts can't analyze the ingredients, or even tell it's a drug, so we'll have to find a solution from other sources."
Lian Jiu probably understood what he meant.
The two people had said before that this thing could be transported by express and could not be detected at any checkpoint, which meant it was very special.
The chemical experts' research was fruitless, so they decided to try another approach and see if the "miracle doctor" in the mountains could help.
After all, before this, the miracle doctor had been worshipped and even knelt down by several leading figures.
Thinking of Jiang An's special alchemy skills, Lian Jiu nodded: "I can go back and talk to them."
"Thank you so much for your help," the man said gratefully. "The samples are still at the municipal bureau over in Fuyu Mountain. If your people agree, we'll set off right away."
In the demon world, Jiang An is not the only one who can refine medicine, but also Gu Huai.
Lian Jiu asked, "Do you need one or two?"
"Two more?" The man rubbed his hands excitedly. "Of course the more the better."
So after returning from the human world, Lian Jiu told Jiang An about this matter.
"There's no need for Gu Huai." Jiang An said confidently, "She's not as good as me when it comes to refining medicine. She's just better at knowing medicine. I taught her how to refine medicine."
I never expected that Bai Ze was actually the master of the medicine beast.
Lian Jiu immediately looked at her with admiration.
Jiang An said awkwardly, "Jiujiu, although I am the youngest among the demon gods, I am also very powerful."
"Yeah, of course you're awesome." Lian Jiu praised her, "Then why don't you ask Gu Huai to come over?"
At this time, Jiang An's "little calendar of holding grudges" was not yet the time to talk to Gu Huai, so he nodded proudly: "I can do it!"
"Let Yuan Qing go with you."
Lian Jiu had to stay here to watch over Jiang An, but he was worried about him going on a long journey alone. He felt a little more at ease with Yuan Qing around.
Jiang An thought about it and shook his head: "No, I can go by myself. Si Lan and the others will be there. Yuan Qing will stay to protect you."
"I am in the demon world and don't need any protection."
"I'm a demon god, I don't need protection." Jiang An said seriously, "But Jiujiu, you're different. None of us wants you to get hurt. Don't worry, I can do it."
Although Jiang An repeatedly assured her that it was only a matter of taking a plane, Lian Jiu always acted like an old mother who was worried about her daughter going out.
After much thought, I decided to call Si Lan and tell him about this matter.
Si Lan on the other end was silent for a long time before he hummed in a light tone to indicate that he understood.
Lian Jiu didn't take it seriously and repeatedly warned him: "Take good care of her."
"Hmm." Si Lan held it in for a while and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"No more." Lian Jiu said flatly, "It's just that you're there, so don't rush back. You can come together after An An is done."
Si Lan lowered his voice: "Oh."
Lian Jiu heard his change of mood and asked in confusion: "What?"
"It's okay." Si Lan said stiffly, "I will take good care of her."
I emphasized the word "take care" particularly strongly.
After thinking for a while, Lian Jiu said before hanging up the phone: "Take care of yourself too."
After the call ended, Si Lan still sat in his old seat, savoring this sentence carefully. In fact, it was no different from before.
In the past, no matter where I went or what I wanted to do, she would always give me instructions.
It seems she hasn't noticed yet? Otherwise, she wouldn't care about me so much.
It’s annoying. Really annoying.
And that annoying Bai Ze, now he really can only go back after a few days!
Because the matter was urgent, Jiang An quickly packed up her things and went to the human world. Lian Jiu sent her safely to the airport before returning to Shaoxian Mountain.
I happened to meet Mu Chun and his team coming back from planting trees: "Director! Now that the trees are almost planted, should we move on to the next step?"
"Yes." Lian Jiu chatted with him as they walked, "Has the human world contacted you?"
"We've already contacted them, and the first batch of tree species has already been sent to them," Mu Chun said. "They can also provide us with technical support."
This one-for-one exchange method was proposed by Lian Jiu. Now the demon world is not short of money, but what it lacks is technical talents.
It will be a very long process for the big monsters to learn the knowledge and then put it into practice.
Therefore, the tree species provided by the demon world can be free of charge and guaranteed to survive and control desertification, but the human world needs to provide technical support for the development of the demon world, including the breeding industry.
In this case, Lian Jiu felt relieved.
Mu Chun asked again, "Are you leaving now?"
"Wait a few days." Lian Jiu said, "I'll wait for Si Lan and Jiang An to come back."
"Jiang An?" Mu Chun was surprised. "Where did she go?"
"Something requires her to go back to Fuyu Mountain. It won't take more than a few days."
"That's good, that's good." Mu Chun breathed a sigh of relief, feeling particularly helpless. "It's also my fault that I'm not as good as them."
Ju Mang is the God of Spring, yet he still thinks he is not powerful enough?
Lian Jiu was surprised: "You have taken good care of Shaoxian Mountain."
Mu Chun shook his head, still having some knowledge of his own abilities.
He was the God of Spring, but in the final analysis, he was just blessed with the spiritual light of the revival of all things. Compared with other self-reliant demon gods, he was nothing. He said ashamedly: "Our barrier has to rely on Bai Ze to consolidate it. Such things in Fuyu Mountain and Nanyu Mountain can be relied on by the God Lord Si Lan."
"You're quite impressive," Lian Jiu said. "It wasn't easy for you to create this oasis here."
Ju Mang said embarrassedly: "It was also thanks to Gu Huai. She helped me a lot at that time."
"Isn't Gu Huai in Kunlun Mountain?"
"She went there only after monsters gradually began to appear. Kunlun Mountain has the fewest monsters, and it was the last monster realm to form," Mu Chun said. "Before that, she and I were both in Fuyu Mountain. Later, we came to Shaoxian Mountain together. It was she who suggested developing an oasis and pointed out many plants and crops suitable for growing here."
This is understandable. Gu Huai used to travel around with Shennong, and Shennong reclaimed the wasteland, so Gu Huai also knew a lot of basic farming methods.
Lian Jiu nodded and said nothing.
Mu Chun added, "If she hadn't reminded me, I could have asked Jiang An to help consolidate the barrier. I'm afraid I wouldn't have remembered it again."
Lian Jiu smiled and comforted him, "You have done very well, and you will get better and better in the future."
Mu Chun encouraged himself: "When I go to Fuyu Mountain after the New Year, I must summarize my experience with other demon gods."
Walking back to school with Mu Chun, I saw Rao Yan waiting at the door: "Principal!"
She came over happily and said, "I wrote it!"
Movie theme song?
Lian Jiu was surprised and asked, "So fast?"
"Songwriting is all about instant inspiration," Rao Yan said, "and since I came here, the inspiration has been endless."
"That's great." Lian Jiu was happy for her. "But I don't quite understand this. Maybe I need to discuss it with Xiao Ke and the others?"
Rao Yan nodded, but then said, "Before that, there is one thing I need your consent for."
"What?"
Rao Yan said with a burning gaze, "When I was writing songs, I always thought of you, so I think this song would be best if you could sing along."
Lian Jiu was stunned for a moment and pointed at himself: "Me?"
The author has something to say:
