364: You brought Jiaolong to eat spicy noodles? It's you, Lucky Mulan!

Meanwhile, the Grand Elder, on the other side, received a report from his guard that Linglong had arrived.

He stood up in surprise, his eyes wide, and looked at the guard: “A Dragon really came?”

The guard recalled the scene of seeing Linglong, and his heart was still deeply shaken.

He took a deep breath, trying his best to calm himself, but his voice still carried a hint of excitement: “Yes, Grand Elder, I saw it with my own eyes. Its body is massive, glowing with a mysterious light, its scales are as hard as steel, its Dragon eyes are like torches, and it emits a powerful Qi.”

The Grand Elder was overjoyed, muttering to himself: “I didn’t expect that after a few days… it really came!”

The guard quickly said: “Grand Elder, I did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately came to report to you.”

However, he didn't forget to immediately report this news to the Grand Elder, after all, the Grand Elder and the others had given instructions about this matter from the beginning.

When a Dragon came to the capital, they needed to report it immediately.

At that time, he was still wondering why a Dragon would appear in the capital, but now seeing the interaction between the Special Affairs Handling Bureau members and the Dragon, as well as the Grand Elder’s emphasis on the Dragon, he knew that the Dragon was not simple.

However, these were not his concerns; he only needed to complete every task the Grand Elder assigned.

The guard nodded: “Yes, it is currently with the members of the Special Affairs Handling Bureau in the front yard.”

The Grand Elder nodded, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes: “Well done, we must receive this Dragon well.”

The guard hesitated for a moment, then couldn’t help but ask: “Grand Elder, why is this Dragon so important?”

The Grand Elder smiled slightly and explained: “Dragons are ancient Divine Beasts, possessing great power and wisdom. They usually live in the deep sea and rarely interact with humans.”

“This time, it came to the capital on its own initiative, following Li Mu’s arrangement, to take the members of the Special Affairs Handling Bureau to the East Sea.”

The guard nodded in sudden realization: “So that’s it, no wonder the Grand Elder attaches such importance to it.”

The Grand Elder said with a solemn expression: “Go prepare quickly, receive this Dragon with the highest standards, and ensure it feels our sincerity and goodwill.”

The guard responded and quickly left.

The Grand Elder looked out the window, his heart filled with anticipation.

Eventually, not knowing what he thought of, he still went to the front yard.

…………

Ni Tai Mei wiped the smear from his face, looking at Linglong with utter helplessness.

“Are you doing this on purpose, you little brat, intentionally spitting saliva all over my face?”

“Damn it.”

It truly felt like a chicken fallen to the plains was being bullied by a Dragon; it was too stifling.

He wanted to fight Linglong, but seeing Linglong's massive body, its bright, piercing eyes, and the faint pressure emanating from Linglong, Ni Tai Mei gave up on the idea of retaliating.

He pointed at Linglong with his finger, arrogantly saying: “Hmph, you’ve provoked me, Ni Tai Mei. You’ve kicked cotton, I won’t stoop to your level.”

After speaking, he scurried away in a hurry.

Linglong tilted its head in confusion, watching the fleeing chicken, wondering why it ran away with so much resentment.

Indeed.

From the very beginning, Linglong had realized that Ni Tai Mei's true form was a chicken, and Linglong was very curious as to why there was a chicken, and a plucked one at that, on site.

After a while, Linglong suddenly remembered that it had seemingly never tasted roasted chicken before, so it began to imagine the deliciousness of roasted chicken.

However, just then, Ni Tai Mei suddenly fled, which made Linglong feel very regretful.

Looking at the fleeing Ni Tai Mei, Linglong only felt a great sense of regret.

However, this feeling of regret only lasted for less than three seconds, and Linglong was soon attracted by other things.

It noticed the other people present, especially the former leopard, Bai Biao.

“Is it him?”

“That day, I don’t know what Master did, but he transformed from a leopard into a human form.”

Linglong wanted to go see this humanoid Bai Biao, but considering the limited space around and its own massive size, it decided to shrink itself to one-tenth of its original body.

This way, Linglong became the size of a python, allowing it to move more easily in confined spaces.

Linglong successfully shrunk its body and quickly transformed into a cute mini version.

Xin Mulan, seeing the shrunken Linglong, excitedly pulled out a five-cent pack of spicy strips from her pocket.

She ate as she approached Linglong, to see what it wanted to do.

Linglong sniffed Bai Biao, circling him left, right, up, and down several times, but found nothing conclusive, so it had to give up in frustration.

Just then, Linglong twitched its nose and caught a scent.

Linglong instantly perked up, looking around, its nose twitching occasionally.

As Xin Mulan got closer, Linglong finally confirmed that the smell was coming from Xin Mulan’s hand.

Linglong stared with wide eyes at the spicy strips in Xin Mulan’s hand.

Lan Kun: “…”

Qin Zhe: “…”

Bai Biao: “Good thing it left, it made me quite nervous.”

Xin Mulan: “Oh, you want to snatch my spicy strips?”

Linglong: “Give it to me~ Give it to me~”

Xin Mulan held up the spicy strips in her hand, “Want to eat?”

Linglong nodded.

Xin Mulan: “Then promise not to steal my barbecue next time, and I’ll give you spicy strips.”

Linglong completely ignored what Xin Mulan was saying, only seeing the other party’s mouth moving up and down.

The closer it got to the spicy strips, the stronger the scent, and Linglong wanted to snatch them, but it was also a little afraid of her repeating the scene from before.

While Linglong was struggling, Xin Mulan picked up one of the spicy strips and threw it into its mouth.

Linglong: !!!

“So tasty, what is this?”

From then on, Linglong seemed to have opened a new world.

It directly snatched the spicy strips from Xin Mulan’s hand, devouring the entire package along with the strips, munching with great satisfaction.

Seeing this, Xin Mulan proudly put her hands on her hips and said triumphantly: “It’s delicious, isn’t it! This is only a five-cent pack of spicy strips; the one-dollar spicy strips are even better.”

Lan Kun: “…”

Qin Zhe: “…”

Lan Kun and Qin Zhe exchanged glances, as if they couldn’t believe the scene before them.

The image of the great Linglong in their hearts seemed to have collapsed at this moment.

And while the two were still processing, Xin Mulan had already taken out a one-dollar pack of spicy strips and popped them into Linglong’s mouth.

Seeing this, the two truly didn’t know what expression to use to convey the scene before them.

Whose Dragon eats spicy strips?!

Xin Mulan, in her simple way, successfully led Linglong astray, and it couldn’t be pulled back.

Just as Lan Kun and Qin Zhe sighed, the Grand Elder arrived.

Before the Grand Elder even reached the front yard, he smelled a pungent odor from afar.

He hurried into the front yard with confusion, and as he got closer, the pungent smell grew stronger.

The guard following behind the Grand Elder had a strange expression; was this the smell he was thinking of?

When Xin Mulan had contributed two-thirds of her spicy strips to Linglong, the Grand Elder finally saw the situation in the front yard.

A pungent, strange smell, a mini-version of a Dragon, Xin Mulan acting like she was presenting a treasure, and the numb expressions of Lan Kun and Qin Zhe.

The Grand Elder was utterly bewildered at this moment.

The guard behind him was shocked…
