Lou Qingzhuo had long heard that the aloof and icy Dragon Lord had fallen in love with someone. All the demons were extremely curious. Even his father, who always stayed out of things, had inquired about it privately. However, no one had dared to ask the Dragon Lord to his face.
He was just as curious.
But the difference was that Lou Qingzhuo had always been rebellious and unruly since childhood. He loved excitement and novelty. The more mysterious something was, the stronger his desire to explore it became.
So when he learned that the Nightless Cauldron, which his father always talked about, was related to the legendary wife of the Dragon Lord, he rushed over without delay.
The reason he gave was that he was here on behalf of the Eastern Clan to investigate and prevent the Dragon Lord from showing favoritism.
The King of the Eastern Clan knew his son well. This boy had never cared about clan affairs. His purpose in volunteering this time was too obvious.
However, the old king was quite headache - stricken about his son. The boy was stubborn and spoiled. He couldn't even find a chance to discipline him. So this time, he just let him come, hoping that Lord Yinglong would rub off his sharp edges, teach him a lesson and make him more obedient.
Lou Qingzhuo also knew what his father was thinking, but it didn't matter as long as it didn't stop him.
As for the so - called lesson, it was really hard to say.
He had a very shrewd mind. When he was hiding in Su Yuan's office just now, he noticed that the atmosphere between Su Yuan and the little lady in the legend was a bit strange.
Su Yuan's gentle and careful attitude towards that little girl only increased his interest.
What he didn't expect was that the one who had charmed the Dragon Lord was actually a seemingly dull little girl.
Like a pervert, he was peeping at Zhaozhao's every move from a building opposite the Demon Administration Bureau, trying to observe and figure out what was special about her and looking for a chance to act.
Inside the Demon Administration Bureau, Zhaozhao seemed to sense this burning gaze unconsciously. She looked around uncomfortably.
"What's wrong?" Chui Xiaotu saw that she seemed restless. She moved closer to Zhaozhao, shoulder to shoulder, and asked with concern.
Zhaozhao touched the back of her neck. That area was a bit hot, making her feel uncomfortable. She looked at the windows of this office floor and then whispered, "I feel like someone is watching me."
Whoosh! Chui Xiaotu pulled her chair away. The distance between them was so large that another Zhaozhao could fit in between.
"?" Zhaozhao gave a questioning look. What was she doing?
Chui Xiaotu looked at Zhaozhao with a complex expression, as if she wanted to say something but held back. After a while, she said, "I didn't expect you to be such a human girl!"
Zhaozhao was confused. "What did I do?"
"Feeding me dog food again! I protest! I'm a rabbit. Don't feed me anymore. I'm really convinced by you lovebirds." Chui Xiaotu waved her hand and completely ignored Zhaozhao, diving back into her work.
Zhaozhao looked at Chui Xiaotu for two or three seconds, then slowly turned back. She clumsily poked the computer keyboard with one finger, thinking: Senior's words are getting weirder and weirder. Are all rabbits like this?
The unignorable gaze didn't disappear. Zhaozhao's intuition was always accurate. She didn't think she was wrong.
After pondering for half a minute, she suddenly raised her hand and tapped twice on the middle of her forehead, then relaxed.
At this moment, in the building opposite the Demon Administration Bureau, Lou Qingzhuo's eyes were burning red with excitement.
He hadn't been able to see clearly what was going on across since just now. It seemed that the little lady had noticed.
How smart! Such a person was really interesting. He could feel his boiling blood roaring. He couldn't wait any longer. He must find a chance to talk to that little girl today and preferably establish some kind of relationship with her.
Lou Qingzhuo seemed to think of something. A smile curved his lips as he looked at his fingertips.
No wonder working hours always seem so long. Zhaozhao finally had a real feeling of it this time.
She didn't know how many times she had checked her phone before she finally waited for the end of work. She couldn't wait to run out of the Demon Administration Bureau and contacted Zhuang Ming.
"Sister." Zhuang Ming's obedient voice came from the other end of the phone. He sounded very excited.
"Zhuang Ming, how are you today? Did you have enough for lunch with the take - out?"
"I had enough. It was so big. Cai Tou and I were both stuffed. Thank you, sister."
"That's good." Zhaozhao smiled. Under the rare sunset in this season, her smile was especially bright.
"Sister can't come over tonight. I have something to do. If you have anything, just contact me, okay?"
She planned to go back to Wutong Mountain tonight. She still had to find a way to look for the sacred object of the Eastern Clan. Judging from Su Yuan's tone, that thing should be quite important. She didn't want them to finally trace it back to Wutong Mountain.
Of course, she would have to find an excuse to skip tonight's live - broadcast and class again.
When she got back to the apartment and told Taotie about this, as expected, she got a scolding from Taotie.
Fortunately, Taotie would be okay as long as there was food. It just angrily pointed at her for a while and then waved its hand to let Zhaozhao go.
Sometimes, that posture really made Zhaozhao wonder who was the master and who was the pet.
Forget it. She wouldn't argue with Taotie, that cute but brainless fierce beast.
When Zhaozhao was packing up and about to leave, she walked past the Fantasy Department and saw the card that Song Yao had left there before. She suddenly remembered that her cousin hadn't come for a long time. She couldn't help but feel a bit worried. She stopped and called Song Yao again.
"Hello? Zhaozhao. Calling me - - hey, don't move! Let go!" The phone was connected, but Song Yao seemed to be in an inconvenient situation...
"Cousin?" Zhaozhao called tentatively. This time, there was no sound at all. The call was hung up.
Zhaozhao stared blankly at the hung - up phone screen.
What was her cousin doing? She sounded a bit urgent. Wait! Could her cousin be bullied?!
Scared by her own thought, when Zhaozhao was panicking and about to call back, Song Yao called in time.
"Cousin, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
Song Yao on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment. Then she realized what was going on and quickly comforted Zhaozhao, "I'm okay. I just met a annoying guy. It's nothing. Don't worry."
"Okay..."
"Why did you suddenly call me? Is there something?" Song Yao was extremely patient and spoke very softly.
"No. I just haven't seen you for several days, so I wanted to ask." Zhaozhao lowered her head and smoothed the wrinkles on her clothes. She was a bit absent - minded. She seemed to faintly hear Lu Chukong's voice on the other end of the phone.
This made her a bit curious. Why was her cousin with Lu Chukong?
Hearing that there was nothing wrong, Song Yao heaved a sigh of relief. She comforted Zhaozhao a few more words and then hung up the phone.
Looking up, she met Lu Chukong's half - smiling eyes. She angrily slapped the things in her hand into his arms and threatened fiercely, "You'd better keep your promise, or I'll make you pay!"
Lu Chukong raised his eyebrows and smiled playfully. "Got it, my young lady."
Song Yao was annoyed by his way of speaking. She turned around and walked away. After walking a few steps, she seemed to remember something. She turned around and warned, "Don't tell anyone about today's matter, or I'll cut out your tongue."
Lu Chukong's eyes fell on Miss Song's blushing earlobes. He lazily nodded.
