About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

Orson tried to help Sister Lei Zi get away with it, but...

"Bird's nest? If that kind of luxury item is used for a banquet, it's no different from a bribe! Don't harbor such dangerous thoughts, Orson!"

"..."

This guy always seems difficult to get along with in some way. Does this Qilin really want to hide his identity?!

Orson complained in his heart, but since there was nothing special to do today, there was no problem in following her for the time being.

Orson had a vague feeling that if he left this "unidentified mysterious visitor" alone, something would go wrong soon.

Not long after, Orson's conjecture was confirmed -

"Although Longmen's buildings have a high-tech feel, they're all so identical. This is the third building I've seen with the exact same decor."

Jingzhe stood by the roadside and sighed quietly at a high-tech office building not far away.

"Actually, this is the third time we've returned to this intersection."

"Huh? Stop kidding. You mean we've been going in circles?"

"Probably... that's it?"

Orsen looked at Jingzhe and responded in a low voice, and the latter pondered for a few seconds, then took out an envelope that looked quite retro from his pocket.

After staring at the words on the envelope for a while, Jingzhe put the envelope back into his arms properly and looked at Orson.

"It seems I do have a problem now - I can't find the room they have for me."

“…Ahahaha, I’m not surprised at all.”

Orson responded with a wry smile, while Jingzhe looked away awkwardly.

"Please, please don't misunderstand me, young man! It's not that I don't have the ability to determine direction, it's just that the light pollution in this city is too severe, and I can't use the sun, moon, and constellations to determine my direction... You know, in the Dali Temple, judging time and place is a compulsory course for us! Even though I can't use modern positioning technology due to my thunder magic and physical condition, I have never encountered a situation where I was lost. I hope you can understand this and don't misunderstand me!"

"It sounds tough, but also impressive. Anyway, I just arrived at Longmen not long ago, so we should ask someone for directions."

Orson did not laugh at Jingzhe. After all, a strong electromagnetic constitution would probably affect the use of items such as mobile phone compasses.

"Find someone?"

"Well, go find the Guards who wear dark blue uniforms and have ID cards on them. They should be able to help you—provided you don't do anything strange."

"I understand, young man. You're right. Investigation and evidence collection are very necessary."

"..."

Although they had not spent much time together, and even at one point he mistook the "Dali Temple" for a real temple, Orsen could almost guess Jingzhe's job and identity.

Jingzhe agreed with Orson's suggestion. She glanced around and saw a passing dragon policeman with blue hair and dragon horns, leaning against a motorcycle with a coffee cup in his hand.

"Huh? Wait, wait a minute..."

When Orson noticed that the "patrolman" seemed familiar, it was too late to stop Jingzhe. She walked straight towards Officer Chen, and it was obvious that Chen also noticed the red slime.

"Wow wow wow..."

Although it was possible to confront Chen directly and tell him the whole story, it was hard for Orson to believe that Chen would smile and nod and let him go and have fun after hearing the words "This is a VIP from Yan Country that I picked up on the roadside while doing my best to help her. She said she would invite me to her house to repay her kindness."

The greater chance is that I will have to go to the police station to play VAN games with the macho prison guards again...

The most important thing is that Sister Lei Zi, who is "on a secret visit", will probably be implicated because of this. Although Orsen thinks that this Bilibili's identity will be exposed sooner or later, he doesn't want to be exposed so quickly because of him.

At this point, this is the only thing we can do...!

"Hello, Miss Officer. I'm a tourist from ya... ahem, from out of town. I'm currently talking to this young man—hmm!?"

Jingzhe was about to walk up to Chen and was about to tell him about the situation between him and Orson, but suddenly he felt something hugging him from behind his red robe.

"What are you doing! Boy——"

"Please, Miss Jingzhe, just help me block it... don't let her notice me..."

Before Jingzhe could finish his words, he saw Orsen throwing himself behind him with a pleading expression, and even his voice was softer than usual.

"Uh... well, I get it."

After a moment of hesitation, Jingzhe decided to help Orsen conceal his identity.

"...? May I ask what may I do for you, Miss?"

Chen put the coffee aside and walked towards Jingzhe. At the same time, he was a little curious about the red-robed woman in front of him and the young man sticking to her.

“——” “——”

Chen circled to Jingzhe's left, and Jingzhe immediately led Orson to the right, and vice versa. The three of them fought for a while like an eagle catching a chick, and in the end, Officer Chen never saw who was clinging to the "red-robed blonde woman."

"Ha...ha...Anyway, could you please help me find the way to this place?"

After returning to kindergarten during recess, Jingzhe took out the envelope and handed it to Chen, who thought for a while and then pointed out the route to them.

"Thank you for your help, Officer. I'm glad to have such dedicated officers in Longmen. My impression of this city has improved a bit."

"Uh...thank you?"

Chen tilted his head, then watched the red slime and her sticky little followers leave.

——Judging from the boy’s back and his clothing style, he looks a bit like Orson… But it definitely can’t be him. That idiot wouldn’t hug a strange woman he’s never met in public.

Chen glanced at Jingzhe, then shook his head, put the coffee back into his mouth and continued on duty.

----------

"Thank you so much, Miss Jingzhe!"

After dodging the wild Chen Huijie, the two headed towards Sister Lei Zi's residence. After confirming that they were out of the range of the Dragon Police, Orson thanked Jingzhe with a grateful look on his face.

"Well, it's nothing... I just want you to answer a question for me seriously, young man. You shouldn't be a fugitive suspect or something like that, right...?"

Jingzhe glanced at Orson out of the corner of his eye. The unicorn had just suddenly discovered that the contrast between Orson, who had always looked very reliable and suddenly panicked was quite... cute.

"Of course not! That Officer Chen just now is my friend. Her sense of responsibility is sometimes too strong. If she saw me, she would definitely be more interested in you. Miss Jingzhe, you don't want to be harassed, right?"

"Um……"

Jingzhe looked at the smile on Orson's face, and it certainly didn't look like a lie. His body didn't show any signs of guilt or fear.

Jingzhe's job is related to judging the truth of life and death, so this requires her to have a strong ability to observe people. Jingzhe did observe Orsen for a while along the way, and the young man did not engage in any dangerous or unreasonable behavior from beginning to end.

——So, even though he looked so panicked and asked me for help just now, his real intention was to help me? This kid is really...

"That should be Miss Jingzhe's room up ahead, right? It looks pretty good...?"

Orsen, who was walking in front, rubbed his hair after Jingzhe specially guided the electric current.

"Uh, well, your hair is a little messy."

"Really? Thank you, Miss Jingzhe."

Orsen nodded to Jingzhe, while Jingzhe looked at Orsen's hair that was tangled up by him and said nothing.

"According to the address on the envelope, it should be here—opened."

Jingzhe successfully opened the room with the key card in the envelope. Inside was an ordinary room of less than 100 square meters.

"Although this is my humble abode, I still hope you...wait, this is a bit too humble!"

Jingzhe discovered that the room only had the most basic furniture. Apart from that, there was no trace of daily necessities or food. What Jingzhe could not tolerate the most was...

"It's so dusty!" "It hasn't been cleaned in a long time!"

"Ok?"

Jingzhe glanced at Orson who was complaining the same thing beside him. They had just said the same thing in unison.

"Cleaning tools—nothing! How can this be, Miss Jingzhe, let's go shopping! I remember there was a chain store on the way here just now."

After Orsen looked around and found that there was not even a mop, rag, or broom in the room, he became very excited and wanted to take Jingzhe shopping.

"Indeed, we can't even live a normal life at this rate, let alone being good hosts. We really shouldn't have asked those idiots who only know how to play mahjong to plan our itinerary..."

Jingzhe complained softly, then followed Orson to a nearby store.

Along the way, Orsen and Jingzhe chatted a lot, and Orsen learned a lot about her from Jingzhe's words, which seemed to have no intention of hiding anything.

Just as he thought, Sister Lei Zi was the other force that Lappland and others had mentioned before - the "Supervision Department". The [Dali Temple] she represented was actually an institution like the Supreme Court of Yan Country.

According to the original plan, there should be three "Inspectors" arriving at Longmen, with two more experienced Inspectors serving as guides and helpers.

Although Jingzhe is an "elite" within the Dali Temple, she has almost never left the Dali Temple of Yan State. Her daily tasks are basically to deal with Wen Zong, solve unsolved cases, and learn "Thunder Method" from her master.

Jingzhe herself didn't know what the other two inspectors were suddenly transferred to deal with, but the only thing she was sure of was that even if she was alone, even if she had never traveled to the city-states within Yan Country, she would definitely still be able to carry out the mission perfectly -

And then, because of low battery, he was squatting on the roadside and was picked up by Orson.

Normally, Orsen would be the one doing the talking, but whether it was because Jingzhe treated him like a clueless kid, or because he finally found someone he could trust to chat with, or perhaps it was just his personality, during the actual conversation, it was Orsen who had to change the subject every now and then, otherwise he might overhear some incredibly secret secret and be silenced...

Through their conversation, Orson also got a rough idea of the blonde mother's personality. Jingzhe was more rigid and inflexible than Chen in her language and behavior, but she was actually very easy to get along with and had a strong sense of justice - a bit of a naiveté.

For example, on the way to the supermarket, Jingzhe noticed a thief stealing things. The mother was almost ready to take out her Dali Temple token on the spot without thinking, but was finally stopped by Orsen. He secretly took the thief into the alley, knocked him out, tied him up, and called the Guard Bureau.

Later, Jingzhe encountered a couple quarreling on the road. The Dali Temple was surprised and rushed over to persuade them without thinking. Naturally, he got the classic Yan State reply "None of your business". In the end, Orsen was sacrificed and was beaten by the couple and Jingzhe for a long time before the quarrel was barely over.

The most embarrassing thing is that many people along the way mistook Orsen and Jingzhe for siblings, but Orsen secretly observed Jingzhe, and the other party didn't seem to be that disgusted?

After finally arriving at the mall, Jingzhe's eyes lit up at the dazzling array of food and supplies, while Orsen remarked, "Sure enough, shopping in the supermarket never gets boring." The two foreigners, despite their somewhat different heights, genders, and birthplaces, instantly reached a consensus.

There was nothing more to say after that, and when I came to my senses, I had already made a lavish purchase.

In the evening, Orsen and Jingzhe each returned to the room carrying a large bag of plastic bags. Jingzhe originally wanted to tell Orsen to have a good rest and leave it to him, but Orsen put on his apron and gloves with great skill as soon as he got home. His speed was even faster than that of using thunder to short-circuit the electronic alarm clock every morning.

Normally, even if Orson was so enthusiastic, Jingzhe would definitely let him rest as a guest. But after Jingzhe said that, Orson's disappointed expression of "Why is it like this..." still made Jingzhe unable to harden his heart and agree to let Orson come to help.

"Leave the dusting to me, young Orsen. I'll show you my abilities as a true inheritor of the Thunder Method!"

Jingzhe took out a towel and rubbed it gently in his hand, then just placed it lightly on the table, and the deposited dust was automatically absorbed.

"Wow……"

Orson's eyes widened as he watched. He would rather exchange his shares in the Casimir Rhode Island factory for this ability.

After seeing Orson's heartfelt admiration, Jingzhe worked even harder.

"Hehe, the mysteries of thunder magic are more than just that! As long as the power is increased, not only the table, but also the marble floor tiles, walls, and even the TV screen—"

Snapped! !

There was a loud bang and sparks burst out from inside the TV, followed by a faint smell of burning.

"...Please leave the electrical appliances to me, Miss Jingzhe?"

"it is good……"

Jingzhe, who had been played out, became docile in an instant, and her tail and hair drooped down as if the battery was low.

Afterwards, Orsen and Jingzhe had a clear division of labor, and it didn't take long for them to tidy up the room and make it look brand new.

"It's very well done, young Orsen. I'm almost tempted to invite you to the Dali Temple."

"It's not that bad..."

At the dining table in the living room, Jingzhe praised Orsen's housekeeping skills, and at the same time, he opened the lid of the Yan country stew pot on the table and poured the food into the two bowls.

"Try it, young Orsen. I'm somewhat confident in my cooking skills."

"Then I'll be polite—it smells so good!"

"You should chew your food slowly and thoroughly, otherwise it will be bad for your health."

Jingzhe looked at Orsen's happy face while eating, and his expression relaxed a lot.

Today, Jingzhe was actually observing Orsen, and this elite from the Supervisory Department finally got his answer at this moment.

This boy seems like he would be perfect to be my brother... No, no, what am I thinking!

"Miss Jingzhe?"

Orson noticed that Jingzhe suddenly shook his head violently, and his hair turned into Super 3 mode again.

"Nothing... By the way, today was supposed to be a time for you to relax and recuperate, but it turned out like this..."

Jingzhe suddenly remembered that he had not originally tricked Orsen into coming here to help him find a house and clean the house.

"It's okay, Sister Jingzhe. I wouldn't do anything rash. I once caused many people to worry about me because I was so willful and didn't take care of my body. Now I know very well that willful self-effort is just another form of selfishness... Puff! Jing, Miss Jingzhe?"

Orsen was halfway through his speech when Jingzhe suddenly hugged him and rubbed his head hard.
