Anyway, that's basically the story.
But when it comes to tall tales, unless the listener is a rare talent like Song Qingpao, or the story is too full of foreshadowing, you inevitably have to keep digging yourself deeper.
You need new stories to patch up the casual remarks made earlier.
Xia Yan is like this.
Her story is now serialized to "Ancient Divine Dragon Awakens in the Human World, Nine Lakes Change Colors to Reveal Divine Might" and "Little Servant Accidentally Gains Great Opportunity, Enters Dragon Palace to Witness Astonishing Events".
As for what astonishing events she witnessed, she hasn't had time to make that up yet.
There's no way she would actually send intel to the Hundred Demons Sect, so she can only mix fact with fiction, and her story becomes more and more absurd.
On one hand, she has to keep her superiors reassured, telling them that although she hasn't found anything yet, the big event is definitely coming.
