Chapter 214 Where did the beast come from? It must be a lie
The reporter stepped forward and said with a smile, "This is the guardian of our four sacred beasts. Now, let's interview her."
The reporter politely asked, "Ms. Nan Qiao, what do the four divine beasts usually eat? Are they picky eaters? Also, what are their sleep and rest schedules?"
Nan Qiao raised her head slightly, her eyes revealing confidence and composure, and she spoke softly, "The four divine beasts have quite unique diets. The Azure Dragon likes to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and the magical herbs and fruits from the sacred mountain."
"The White Tiger prefers fresh spiritual meat and mountain spring water imbued with spiritual power, the Vermillion Bird feeds on spiritual flames and spiritual crystals, and the Black Tortoise is fond of various spiritual minerals and spiritual creatures from the deep sea."
"They are not picky eaters, they just have certain requirements for the spiritual quality of the food."
"As for their daily routines, they follow the flow of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. During the day, they either rest or practice on their own. At night, they mostly absorb the essence of the moon and deeply refine their spiritual power."
Nan Qiao's answer amazed the audience, and the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room instantly scrolled wildly.
The audience in the live broadcast room were stunned by Nan Qiao's words, and the barrage of comments surged like a tide.
"Oh my god, this is so professional, these must be real!"
"It turns out the lives of mythical beasts are so magical! This is the true protection of cultural treasures!"
"The Flower Country is so awesome! The Wood Country must be dumbfounded."
……
Many netizens from Muzi Country also saw the live broadcast from Zhonghua Country. However, most of them were disdainful and started to mock the show online.
"Humph, the Flower Country only knows how to do these empty things. Just relying on their mouths to talk big, what real skills can they have?"
"What are you talking about the living environment of the four divine beasts? Don't just show us a few broken statues and pretend they are real divine beasts. You're just deceiving yourself."
"They must be desperate and trying to come up with something to fool everyone. Do they think we will believe it so easily? It's a joke."
"I think this is their last ditch effort, trying to save face in public opinion. Unfortunately, we won't be fooled."
"We'll see. Once the results of the intangible cultural heritage application are announced, they'll know what it means to truly own something, rather than just making it up like they are doing now."
After learning that the Flower Country had started live broadcasting about the four divine beasts, officials from the Muzi Country did not take it seriously at all and continued to talk about it openly in the luxurious conference room.
"Hmph, the Flower-Growing Country has run out of ideas. What can a live broadcast prove?" A pot-bellied official said with disdain, picking up the wine glass and taking a sip.
"That's right. They think they can compete with us for intangible cultural heritage by just making some videos? That's simply wishful thinking." Another official with a pointed chin and monkey face echoed with a sarcastic smile on his face.
"Our application for intangible cultural heritage status is a done deal. Theirs is just a last-ditch effort to save face. Don't pay any attention to them."
"Once we get the intangible cultural heritage, we will carefully plan how to further suppress them and make them fully realize the reality that the four sacred beasts can only be the cultural symbols of our Muzi Nation."
……
In the Lan family's living room, only Lan Jingcheng was still in the army today, while everyone else was at home.
Lan Zhiming sat on the soft sofa, spreading a newspaper in his hands and reading quietly.
Jiang Peishan was watching TV casually at the side. Suddenly, her eyes widened, her face full of surprise, and she hurriedly shouted to Lan Zhiming, "Hubby, why is Nan Qiao on CCTV?"
Her voice broke the silence in the living room.
Lan Hanwen was sitting by the window fiddling with his cell phone. When he heard his mother's call, he quickly raised his head, threw his cell phone aside casually, stood up and strode over.
Lan Yuchen had just come down from upstairs. When he heard the voice, he was confused and hurried towards the TV.
Lan Yuchen looked at Nan Qiao's familiar face on TV, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, including surprise and confusion.
He frowned slightly, as if he didn't expect Nan Qiao to appear in their sight again in this identity.
Lan Hanwen also had a look of shock on his face, his eyes fixed on the screen, his mouth slightly open, as if he had seen something extremely incredible.
Lan Zhiming slowly put down the newspaper in his hand, and his attention was instantly attracted by Nan Qiao's face on TV. His eyes were surprised at first, and then turned into deep regret and anger.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at Jiang Peishan, his tone full of blame: "It's all your fault! If you hadn't been so cruel in forcing Nan Qiao away, it would be our Lan family standing on CCTV right now, bringing supreme glory to our family!"
Jiang Peishan was immediately furious when she heard this. She put her hands on her hips and retorted unyieldingly, "Are you blaming me? I did that for the sake of our family's reputation. Don't you despise her? She was kicked out of the Nan family and was disillusioned with us. I'm telling you, you were also responsible."
"Don't think you can just put the blame on me now."
"Why not blame you? You are a gossip. You always scold Nan Qiao the most harshly. The family honor has been ruined by you!" Lan Zhiming fought back rudely.
Seeing their parents arguing so fiercely, Lan Yuchen and Lan Hanwen hurried forward to mediate.
Lan Yuchen stretched out his hands, trying to separate the two angry people, and said anxiously: "Dad, Mom, please stop arguing. You have been arguing since you came back last time. Is it necessary?"
Lan Hanwen also echoed: "Yeah, you're not young anymore, why would you imitate young couples quarreling and hurting each other's feelings?"
Jiang Peishan couldn't swallow this anger. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. "What Nan Qiao is doing now, these four divine beasts, anyone with a little bit of common sense can see is fake. Just wait and see, it won't be long before everyone realizes they've been fooled."
"Then Nan Qiaoke will become the target of public criticism and suffer from everyone's angry accusations. She is nothing more than a victim who overestimates her own abilities and seeks attention. Do you really think she is a treasure?"
Lan Zhiming was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at Jiang Peishan and his voice trembled: "What do you know! The country has its own national considerations."
"You only care about your own fame, but you're forcing away someone who could revolutionize the family. You're so shortsighted!"
Jiang Peishan sneered: "I think you have been bewitched by her!"
"These four mythical beasts have been mere legends since ancient times, yet she brought them up with such fanfare. They must be fabricating something. It's bound to be exposed sooner or later. If our Lan family gets involved with her again, we'll be doomed!"
Lan Yuchen sighed helplessly: "Mom, don't be so sure. We have misunderstood Nan Qiao so many times, do you want to misunderstand her again now?"
"Didn't you just say last time that you had wronged her before and wanted her to come back?"
