Otherworldly Affairs Office

On the second day after the evening incident concluded, the Investigation Hall initiated contact measures to report the dragon incident to the Old Dragon King from the Spirit Monster Plane, who lost track of his beloved daughter. It is said that upon seeing the transmitted image of his daughter in her current state, the dragon's earth-shattering roar resonated across the Dragon Realm for three whole days and nights.

Unexpectedly to the Investigation Hall, after careful consideration, the Dragon King did not rush to take his daughter back but instead dispatched his son, accompanied by several physicians, to come to the present realm personally, expressing gratitude with a vast amount of precious materials from the Dragon Realm for the Investigation Hall's restraint.

When he saw his sister's current form in person under the guidance of the Investigation Bureau, despite his father repeatedly urging him before departure to control his emotions and not be disrespectful, the fury in his chest almost made him lose control and rampage in his human form.

This was his dear sister! The little princess of the Dragon Race! A majestic dragon with the most beautiful appearance and most elegant form!

Now, now! She's turned into this state! She's merely a young dragon unable to even assume a human form! Who was so heartless?

Looking at the hideous dragon before him shackled in chains, Salafam felt his heart bleeding, reaching out to touch the Dragon Ball beneath his sister's jaw, closing his eyes trying to communicate using Dragon Race's Secret Techniques.

Seemingly sensing the call from a fellow kin, shortly after Salafam made the call, the dragon that had been in slumber gradually opened her eyes, gazing at the familiar yet unfamiliar blond man before her. Her breathing gradually steadied, and a hint of warmth and grievance appeared in her muddy eyes.

Witnessing this, Gu Shenghui and others let out a sigh of relief, seemingly confirming that kinship still matters. This dragon hadn't settled since being returned and would automatically wake up and roar from time to time, spewing fire from her mouth and nose. To prevent her from causing harm, the Investigation Hall had placed iron muzzle on her mouth as a precaution, which was only removed shortly before her brother's arrival.

But this warmth did not last long. Just when everyone thought the dragon had been soothed by her brother, she suddenly raised her neck to the sky and let out a long howl, then opened her bloodthirsty mouth and bit towards her once dearly relied upon brother without hesitation.

Everyone was taken aback by this sudden change. Gu Shenghui and Zuo Huaxian reacted first and were about to exert their powers to subdue the dragon, yet they saw Salafam standing still, wiping tears from the corner of one eye, unable to hold it back, while lightly snapping his fingers with the other.

After the snap, the dragon's high-held head fell weakly beside her brother with a loud crash. Salafam lay over the dragon head, continuously stroking her now deeply wrinkled skin with both hands. With grievance, helplessness, and infinite sorrow, the dragon gradually closed her eyes and fell into slumber once again.

When everything returned to calmness, Salafam reluctently left his sister, adjusted his emotions, bowed before Gu Shenghui, and said, "For a long time in the future, my sister and I will rely on you for care."

Listening to the translated words through the earpiece, Gu Shenghui and others exchanged looks. Finally, Zuo Huaxian stepped forward and asked, "Is the Dragon Envoy not intending to take your sister back to your world?"

Upon hearing Zuo Huaxian's words, Salafam shook his head, "I came here first to heal and restore my sister's body, and second to find out who truly harmed her!" He said this and then glanced back at the dragon being surrounded and treated by his accompanying physicians, gritting his teeth and continued, "This is not only an injury to her but also an insult and provocation to my family! Those who committed this act must endure the wrath of the Dragon Race."

After speaking, he turned his head back, and his glowing red eyes became even brighter, like they could spew flames at any moment.

"We understand your feelings, but the state of your sister doesn't seem suitable for staying here for long," Gu Shenghui said with a frown, troubled while looking at Salafam struggling to suppress his fury. Leaving one dragon in the present realm is already dangerous, let alone two — one with uncontrollable nerves and another on the brink of rampaging. These are not two dragons but rather two ticking time bombs.

"I know this will cause you a lot of trouble, but it's my father's decision. Our family's forces have already begun to investigate the truth behind this matter, and I have been ordered to remain here to assist your investigation. Rest assured, I won't interfere; I'll just be an observer and immediately inform my father of any news." He said while pondering for a moment and continued, "As for my sister, returning to our world in her current condition isn't a good choice. Besides the safety issues, her appearance would be a lifelong shame if more of the Dragon Race knew about it. Therefore, I can only stay here and restore her before taking her back."

After finishing, Salafam gestured to the Investigation Bureau crowd wanting to speak and continued, "Father understands your difficulties, and our Dragon Race will not take advantage of others for nothing. He asked me to inform you that from now on, half of the material transactions between the Dragon Realm led by our family and the Keystone Plane will be fully handled by the Huaxia Investigation Hall. Second, during my time in the present realm, apart from abiding by your legal provisions, I can respond to Investigation Hall's three summonses without endangering Dragon Realm's interests. Once ordered, I'll do my best."

Upon hearing the conditions offered by Salafam, the Investigation Hall high-level officials discussed and reported, and eventually, the top agreed to the request, but his activity range was strictly confined to a secret base located deep in the Great Desert, absolutely forbidden to approach human gathering areas without approval.

After handling this pair of Dragon Race siblings, there came the interrogation of Li Songtao and the research of the mysterious person. Among the interdimensional conflict, these were the two main harvests. Despite Magic Realm's intrusion being unusually different from the past, the opponent was cunning; they took advantage during the confrontation with the Investigation Hall and withdrew before the reinforcements arrived, leaving the Investigation Hall unable to obtain more favorable clues.

As for the Hell Realm, it lived up to its standard villain title. It turned out to be the most low-profile party during the interdimensional intrusion, with only a few hellish creatures crossing the boundary amid the chaos, failing to cause harm and either getting caught or hurriedly escaping back, marking Investigation Hall's first zero-casualty mission for a plane that night.

However, the Investigation Hall did not let down its guard due to this. As the plane least interacting with the Keystone Plane among the four, the mystic and eerie aura of the Hell Realm constantly hovered. No one knew whether its silence during others' grand schemes was brewing a greater disaster.

Unfortunately, the Investigation Hall really didn't have the energy now. They could no longer muster manpower for a thorough investigation. This hard-earned Li Songtao had become a piece of chicken ribs for the Investigation Hall over the past half month.
