Chapter 2828 Do all snack bird monsters have bird stomachs?
The first year of the spiritual energy recovery, the morning of March 12, Penglai, the headquarters of the Soul Protection Division.
"Mingqi-kun." "Good morning, Deputy Director Ning."
Ning Changkong led Bai Xian to the conference room and greeted the colleagues he met on the way gently.
Su Kunxiang was the most enthusiastic one: "Mingqi, take care of yourself." The fiery red fox tail wagged flatteringly.
Ning Changkong's eyes were unconsciously attracted by the smooth and well-maintained fox tail.
Wow, so fluffy. I really want to touch it.
But... "Do I look bad today?" Ning Changkong asked in his heart.
Chu Qingge was merciless: "You have always looked bad, but compared to the past few days, today may be slightly worse... 5%?"
This body was originally a sick body that was dying. His face was always pale and his lips were pale. But he was full of energy, which suppressed his sick look. He wielded his spear vigorously, so no one could notice that he was in poor health.
His job these days is to go from tribe to tribe to rescue the monsters, and by the way, use the Phoenix's pressure to have the local constables cooperate with the Soul Guarding Department to conduct follow-up investigations into the Qianshi Money Bank's distribution of abnormal spirit stones.
As for saving people, for those with mild symptoms, he could use the Phoenix Spiritual Power to cast a simple Heart Cleansing Mantra to dispel the evil spirits. But the ones who needed his help the most were the seriously ill patients, and these were the ones that took the most effort to treat.
He was so tired that he couldn't even walk steadily after get off work. Ning Changkong sighed sadly. He had to work overtime at Tiangong Technology in the evening.
"I just stayed up all night last night." Chu Qingge pointed out mercilessly, "I took advantage of Bai's free time last night."
Ning Changkong said that he didn't want to continue living in Linghuang Mansion and wanted to move back to Jinwu Garden. Last night, Bai Xian ran back to Jinwu Garden to pack his things.
Maybe that's why I look 5% worse today? Ning Changkong touched his chin and focused his eyes on Su Kunxiang.
This old guy...has good insight.
Everyone was present, and the meeting began. The main topic of the meeting was still the investigation of evil spirits.
Zhang Xuan reported that he had intercepted a number of spiritual stones containing evil spirits, and had issued relevant notices in Penglai and the human world.
It seems that the evil spirit is spread widely by the spirit stone. Ning Changkong lowered his eyes and read the files sent by various tribes. No wonder there is no obvious distribution pattern of regions, races, etc.
However, the technology of how the spirit stone carries evil spirits has not been found out. This part of the process is not carried out in the mine, but in a workshop. By the time the Soul Protection Bureau found out, it was already closed down like Qianshi Bank, and no one had left.
Zhang Xuan was very sorry about this. The Yuling Division highly suspected that the mysterious formation in the mine was the legendary spirit stone preparation formation, but without evidence, no conclusion could be drawn.
Having finished talking about the most crucial part, the next content is the general progress report on the capture of monsters that control evil spirits, as well as the report on the extradition of monster criminals from the Alien Bureau.
Ning Changkong was a little distracted. There were still not many clues about the organization behind Qianshi Bank. The Soul Guarding Department and the Alien Bureau only locked on one name:
Li.
A cult organization established by Li Bo, who was thought to have died ten years ago, when he reappeared six years ago.
The motive is unclear, the goal is unclear, and the base is unclear.
Ning Changkong rubbed his fingers unconsciously, thinking about how to investigate further, but he heard the sound of soft breathing in his ears.
It's free time.
Bai Xian followed him to the territories of various tribes, and occasionally helped solve some cases. His status as an old ancestor was much higher than that of the young Phoenix, and he also indirectly helped the Soul Guarding Division a lot.
It was not easy for Yulingsi to directly kick the hero out of the meeting room, so they simply moved a chair for him to sit in and listen. Anyway, he followed Fenghuang every day, so he would know the content of the meeting sooner or later.
Bai Xian used to just play with his phone and daydream, but why did he fall asleep openly today? Ning Changkong raised his eyebrows.
As soon as he thought about it, Bai Xian changed back to his original form with a bang and was picked up by him and held in his arms.
As the king of birds, it is easy for him to change into his original form. Ning Changkong stroked Bai Xian's long tail in a distracted manner.
It feels good. It's warm and comfortable to hold in your arms.
Su Kunxiang lowered his head, pretending not to notice that Tiger Girl covered her mouth to hold back her laughter, and did not notice that his colleague from the Hundred Birds tribe unconsciously revealed his bird's tail behind his fiery gaze.
Being held in the arms of a phoenix and having one's tail stroked! What an honor! The ear feathers of several bird demons trembled.
Nothing at all! Su Kunxiang scolded his disappointing subordinates in his heart, but he didn't notice that the tip of his tail was also wagging slightly.
The entire Soul Guarding Department likes their Deputy Director Ning very much.
Before Mingqi-jun came, Zhang Xuan had already boasted to them about how much Ning Changkong had done in the human world, and many of his colleagues did not take it seriously at first.
However, after working with the deity for a week, no matter what their initial attitudes were, they had to be deeply impressed by Ning Changkong's abilities and personality.
He works hard and is always the first to go. He is gentle and modest, but he can be very sharp-tongued when confronting ignorant monsters.
The Yuling Division had been feeling aggrieved for so long in front of the patrol officers from various tribes, but finally they had waited for the arrival of the great Buddha who could subdue the demons. They straightened their backs and felt proud.
The meeting was over and Bai Xian had already woken up, but because the situation was too embarrassing, he simply pretended to sleep. Ning Changkong, who knew this very well, walked back to his office reluctantly, holding a big white bird.
"Mingqi!" Su Kunxiang called Ning Changkong hurriedly and handed him a box that looked inconspicuous.
Ning Changkong took it and took a look. Inside were more than a dozen small and exquisite handmade snacks.
The old fox rubbed his hands, and his expression became serious for once. He whispered, "My daughter was possessed by evil spirits before, but fortunately Mingqi-kun rescued her, and she has been more conscious these days."
"This is a snack made by my wife herself. It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope Mingqi-kun will accept it."
Ning Changkong blinked and asked in his heart: "Who is it?"
Chu Qingge added the information: "Su Kunxiang's third daughter, Su Yunyao, you saved the day before yesterday..." She then fell into a strange silence.
"Then what?" Ning Changkong asked.
Chu Qingge said dryly: "I just checked her fate line... She is the red-haired fox that attacked Yan Xiaoling before."
Ning Changkong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why didn't you check it at that time?"
Chu Qingge said confidently: "You almost fainted at that time, I was only paying attention to your physical indicators, how could I notice these things?"
Ning Changkong looked at the box of snacks and swallowed his saliva. It looked much better than the medicinal food prepared by Qing Geng.
But even if it tastes good, you can’t eat too much, it’s disgusting.
Ning Changkong spoke gently: "I have just returned to the demon tribe, and I need merits to accumulate reputation. My spiritual power is naturally able to overcome evil spirits, and it is only my responsibility to help treat the patients."
It's part of my job? Saving people until I'm exhausted is also part of my job?
Su Kunxiang thought of the day before yesterday, when the man in front of him saved his own son Yaoyao and struggled several times to stand up by holding on to the hospital bed.
Su Kunxiang was about to retort, but Ning Changkong interrupted him: "Besides, I can't eat so much by myself. Let's share it with my colleagues. Just celebrate your daughter's recovery."
What do you mean you can't finish it? Su Kunxiang blinked. How can Yaoyao finish all the food prepared by his wife in one go?
Humans say bird-like stomach, bird-like stomach. Does that mean bird-like monsters eat very little?
"We accept it." Bai Xian had jumped out of Ning Changkong's arms at some point, transformed into a human form, and took the box.
Su Kunxiang seized the opportunity to bow and leave. Ning Changkong, who had no time to stop him, had no choice but to follow Bai Xian back to the office.
"What are you doing again?" Ning Changkong asked helplessly after closing the office door.
Bai Xian said naturally, "Weren't you drooling over these snacks just now?"
Bai Xian knew from the moment he started following Ning Changkong that Ning Changkong didn't like eating very much.
At first he thought it was because the child was still running a fever and it was normal for him to have a poor appetite.
Later, the fever subsided and classes began, but I still only ate half of the prepared meals. Every time, I would routinely stuff a few mouthfuls of food and put down my chopsticks to ask for medicine.
It's like he's doing his job. Although the workaholic Mingqi-kun never does his job well, even walking makes him tremble with fear, and he still asks where the next patient he needs to treat is.
Maybe the medicinal food is too unpalatable, Bai Xian thought. If I eat something he likes, maybe he will eat it.
Ning Changkong has always loved sweets, and this was the first time he had dessert since he disguised himself as a phoenix. He happily picked up the snack and stuffed it into his mouth.
"The craftsmanship is quite good. Did you really make it yourself?" Ning Changkong asked in his mind.
"Really? I'm a professional chef." Chu Qingge replied, "Don't eat too much."
Ning Changkong replied somewhat unhappily: "I know."
After being damaged by Phoenix, his newly squeezed stomach was extremely fragile. Before he returned to Penglai, he had been eating one meal a day and then skipping another, so his stomach had some problems.
Glutinous rice food is really hard to digest, and the stomach acid that came up made him feel uncomfortable. Ning Changkong drank some water to calm himself down, and regretfully pushed the remaining half box of snacks in front of Bai Xian: "Here, you eat."
Bai Xian saw that he was eating happier than usual, and wondered if there was any monster in the Hundred Birds Tribe that was good at making snacks. When he saw that he gave the snacks to him, he was stunned: "I don't like snacks. Eat as much as you want."
I also wish I could eat as much as I want. Ning Changkong, who wanted to cry but had no tears, pinched the Neiguan acupoint under his wide sleeves to stop vomiting, took a deep breath, and relieved the nausea.
Chu Qingge made a ruthless judgment: "You've eaten too much. Find a chance to vomit it out."
Ning Changkong tried hard to control his breathing and voice: "I can't eat, give me the medicine."
Two minutes. It's better to daydream for a long time. After fooling around in your spare time, it's enough to persist for another two minutes.
According to his experience, it only takes two minutes to rush from this office to the bathroom to vomit. Qing Geng prescribed medicines to be taken after meals, and there was no reason for him to prescribe medicines that could be taken on an empty stomach, so he had to endure it.
He was so tired these past few days that he couldn't move his feet. His stomach often churned and he felt very uncomfortable. He often vomited secretly in the Yuling Division.
If he could take the medicine on an empty stomach, he could practice fasting legally, Ning Changkong thought sadly.
If I can't eat as much as I want, what's the point of living?
"What do you mean you can't eat anymore?" Bai Xian said anxiously, "Aren't you eating happily? How much have you eaten?"
Ning Changkong took a deep breath. He could block out the stomachache, but it was not so easy to block out the bloating and nausea, so he could only endure it.
Because if you block it, it's easy to vomit.
Ning Changkong suppressed the nausea and didn't want to listen to Bai Xian's long speech. He frowned, pulled his hand over, and placed it on his stomach which was swollen due to bloating.
"I can't eat. Give me the medicine." Ning Changkong repeated his request impatiently.
Chu Qingge hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to remind him. Although he himself couldn't feel the stomach pain because his sense of pain was blocked, others could still notice it.
Bai Xian was stunned as he felt the movement of his hands. Before he could say anything, Ning Changkong's body stiffened, and he bent over and vomited into a trash can that appeared by.
The first year of the spiritual energy recovery, at noon on March 12, at the foot of Penglai Mountain, Penglai.
"I feel like a complete failure." Ning Changkong sat on the last step and complained frustratedly.
Chu Qingge thought about it and decided to expose the reality: "You are greedy and eat too much."
He ate so much that he vomited it out in front of Bai Xian. Then, because he didn't want to be scolded by him, he used the Dijiang Feather to teleport to Xuanwu to hide.
Chu Qingge was still thinking about manipulating the trash can to collect his vomit, and added: "Bai Xian should be here soon. After all, you have to come here every day to check the situation."
Ning Changkong covered his face. The overtime time reserved for the Blue Bird vest was going to be reduced again, and it was still wasted on being scolded.
And maybe I will be forced to take even more bitter medicine...
Chu Qingge suddenly spoke: "Huh? What's going on..."
"...Phoenix?"
Ning Changkong raised his head and met Xuanwu's eyes, which had regained their clarity.
