Lu Mingfei, why are you slaying dragons if you're not involved!

Chapter 147 Yu Ji, you wouldn't want the King of Earth and Mountains to be slaughtered either, would you? (5.4K)

Which yūjī?

Lu Mingfei felt that the pronunciation sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

"My strength could uproot mountains, my spirit could cover the world, but the times are against me, and my steed will not go. My steed will not go, what can I do? Yu, my Yu, what will become of you..."

Su Xiaoqiang said softly.

Four days ago, when Lu Mingfei heard "The Song of Gaixia" from Zhang Shanfeng, he didn't actually have much of a reaction.

After all, he has already seen so many strange things, so what if he knows that a historical figure is actually the Dragon King?
Aside from the fact that the Overlord Spear was inexplicably obedient, which might lead to some misunderstandings, nothing else concerned me.

But at this moment, when Su Xiaoqiang uttered the "Song of Gaixia"...

In an instant, a chilling sensation snaked up my spine, making my hair stand on end!

"you……"

Lu Mingfei grabbed Su Xiaoqiang's arm and pulled her closer, instantly ready to unleash a torrent of profanities, "Are you alright? Where is she?"

"it's okay no problem……"

Su Xiaoqiang was startled by Lu Mingfei's sudden action. The two were so close that the distance between them was only a few centimeters, which could be considered an "embrace".

It's like handling a precious treasure; not wanting it to disappear, you instinctively grab it and try to protect it.

So she simply leaned forward, eliminating that last bit of distance.

“I’m fine. I wasn’t threatened by her. I arranged a job for her, and she’s working now.”

"Work...work?" Lu Mingfei was taken aback.

"correct."

Su Xiaoqiang looked up from his arms, "Aren't you surprised?"

"Of course it's unexpected!"

Lu Mingfei's eyes widened in disbelief. "Trick a dragon into working for you? If you really succeeded, all the capitalists in the world would be begging to worship you as their patriarch, okay?"

"I wouldn't lie to anyone, oh wait, I mean lie to a dragon."

Su Xiaoqiang smiled slyly, "They asked me for a favor, it was entirely voluntary, okay?"

"She needs something from you?"

Lu Mingfei scratched his head, feeling increasingly confused. He stared at Su Xiaoqiang for a moment, then suddenly lowered his voice in alarm, even stuttering a little.

"This...this...this female dragon isn't a lesbian, is she? And has her eye on you?"

"How did you come up with that connection?" Su Xiaoqiang was taken aback.

"I think it would be very easy for Long to make money, and there are always people richer than you in this world... So what she's after is probably your unparalleled beauty. You can't change your natural appearance."

Lu Mingfei said seriously, "The process of elimination."

"hiss……"

Su Xiaoqiang gasped, "What you said is very pleasing... but I still want to hit you!"

"Don't think about hitting me yet, explain things clearly first."

Lu Mingfei cautiously observed his surroundings, focusing on the sky above the window.

The creature floating outside three days ago now appears to be Yu Ji. Back then, there was a misty fog outside, but now the night sky is clear and cloudless, providing excellent visibility. You can see most of the city clearly at a glance.

We couldn't find any clues.

Lu Mingfei then looked down at Su Xiaoqiang.

"What exactly happened? How did you come to know Yu Ji?"

"I promised you I wouldn't reach out to you."

Su Xiaoqiang drew circles on Lu Mingfei's back with her finger, "But she came to me on her own initiative, so there's nothing I can do about it."

According to her, she contacted me to ask for a favor, and promised me a very generous reward.

"It sounds like there's something else going on... You're not going to fall for it, are you?"

Lu Mingfei pressed for more information.

"If she really were Yu Ji, she would have lived for over two thousand years. Lying without blinking would be a basic skill for her; she could probably fool people until they were completely obliterated!"

"If I had fallen for it, I wouldn't be telling you this now."

Su Xiaoqiang snuggled closer to Lu Mingfei, almost greedily letting the warmth and scent of his thinly clothed body envelop her.

“I’ve been on tenterhooks these past few days. I can’t eat or sleep properly. I’m afraid that she might be lying to me and that she might not be able to resist and bite me on the spot or something... Then I’ll never see you again.”

The girl's voice was very soft, but to the boy, each word was a gradually increasing note, until finally reaching its peak.

My heartstrings trembled wildly.

Su Xiaoqiang's soft body pressed close to him, her hair, fragrant with shampoo, brushing against his chin; such intimacy was enough to make any young man's heart flutter.

Lu Mingfei could almost clearly feel his heart pounding suddenly, like a drumbeat, almost drowning out all the sounds around him.

The girl's dependent posture and the words "I'll never see you again" were like the softest arrows, piercing him precisely.

I will never see you again.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but think of that scene, but even a slight touch of it caused anger and sorrow to surge like a raging tide!
He subconsciously raised his arm slightly and finally wrapped his arms tightly around Su Xiaoqiang. The softness that pressed closer to her dispelled any possibility and calmed him down. He felt somewhat relieved.

Thankfully, nothing happened...

Therefore, he failed to see the faint smile on Su Xiaoqiang's lips as she leaned against him.

Everything is going according to plan!
It wasn't lying, of course; these were indeed the dangerous factors she faced, but none of them actually happened. The cunning girl simply exaggerated her reaction a little more.

Even if Yu Ji appeared approachable, gentle, and responsive to almost every question... Su Xiaoqiang remained wary.

Her father had taught her that when doing business, she should always be wary of trading partners who meet one of two conditions.

At that time, Su Xiaoqiang asked: Which two conditions?

Su's father replied: "It's a human being, it breathes!"

Su Xiaoqiang's partner this time is a dragon. Although it doesn't fit the description of "being human", it does have the characteristic of "breathing".

What should be done about the deal with Helong?
Let's do a simple calculation. This dragon has lived for more than two thousand years, which is more than twenty times its lifespan. It's not unreasonable to be wary of it, is it?
So even if Yu Ji's words were reasonable, and from a normal logical analysis, there was really nothing she could gain for herself, and a genuine transaction was highly likely... Su Xiaoqiang still did not let her guard down.

She worried that some unknown information gap might lead to misjudgment and ultimately cause serious consequences.

Of course, it's impossible to completely avoid contact if you're constantly worried about this and that.

Doing business always involves taking risks, and Su Xiaoqiang really wanted to close this deal.

On one hand, it's because of Lu Mingfei, and on the other hand—

She found that completely new and unknown world incredibly interesting, far more so than being the boss of some coal mining group!

For the past three days, Su Xiaoqiang has been learning about the dragon race from Yu Ji. She isn't worried about Yu Ji deceiving her, because she can easily spot any discrepancies by "reconciling accounts" with Lu Mingfei.

In this process, she also gets to know the other party in order to assess whether it is worthwhile to cooperate and how much value the cooperation is worthwhile.

The final result was naturally excellent; otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to arrange for the other person to work as her secretary at the company.

Yu Ji was clever, and so was Su Xiaoqiang. Both of them knew what would happen when Su Xiaoqiang came to the gym to meet Lu Mingfei today.

Her successful arrival, meeting with Lu Mingfei, and bringing up the matter means that Yu Ji's identity as a "dragon lover" is 99% confirmed.

However, this did not stop Su Xiaoqiang from telling all the risks she was facing. As the saying goes, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease," how could she enjoy the present moment if she didn't take credit?

Su Xiaoqiang's second phase of his operational plan was thus a complete success.

The first stage is to express one's feelings; the second stage is to make Lu Mingfei realize his feelings for her; as for the third stage...

We'll have to wait until the Shilan Middle School Spring Festival Gala in two days.

"I need to call my senior."

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath and said, "He was able to contact professionals, so they must have handled similar cases before and know how to handle them."

"it is good."

Su Xiaoqiang naturally understood the principle of moderation; she separated from Lu Mingfei and straightened the measuring tape.

"You make the call, I'll continue taking data... Oh, and there's one more thing."

“Su Xiaoqiang, don’t try to be like the dad in Jackie Chan Adventures, okay?” Lu Mingfei paused.

"It's just a small matter, about what exactly Yu Ji asked me for."

Su Xiaoqiang smiled sweetly.

Yu Ji once mentioned that, based on the fact that he was treated like that by the living spirit in the Overlord Spear, Lu Mingfei's true identity must be so noble that it is absolutely comparable to the King of Earth and Mountain, and it is even possible that he surpasses him.

That's why she came to ask Su Xiaoqiang for help.

But Su Xiaoqiang could not possibly reveal the real reason; more accurately, this point absolutely could not be exposed!
Once a pure-blooded dragon awakens, the memories accumulated over countless millennia can easily devour its existing personality. Su Xiaoqiang didn't want to see that happen; she had only just begun using the method of "anchoring the existing personality with emotions," and was proceeding gradually.

What if Lu Mingfei awakens after learning the truth?
So she came up with a solution.

A method that subtly shifts the focus, yet leaves no room for error, while simultaneously reinforcing Lu Mingfei's understanding that he is not a dragon but a human.

She slowly revealed the decision she had made after discussing it with Yu Ji.

……

"Teacher Zhang."

Ye Sheng looked up from his computer. "I have the detailed information about Lu Mingfei that you requested."

"Hmm? Okay, I'll take a look later..."

Zhang Shanfeng was engrossed in an intense online chess game when he glanced at Ye Sheng and was taken aback. "Why does your face look so strange?"

"If you were to look at it now, it might be even more exaggerated than I am..." Ye Sheng murmured, staring at the computer screen.

"Interesting, shall I take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shanfeng abandoned his online chess game and stood up to walk to Ye Sheng's side.

"You've known he's a genius for a long time, so what information could possibly surprise you under these circumstances..."

His voice gradually faded until it disappeared completely.

A moment later, just as Ye Sheng had said, an even more exaggerated and bizarre expression appeared on Zhang Shanfeng's face.

"Are you sure the information isn't wrong? Did you send me some information about a loser male protagonist from some kind of youth-drama romance novel?" Zhang Shanfeng couldn't help but ask.

"Then you'll have to ask 'Nuwa'."

Ye Shengyi shrugged, "At least my request is to retrieve Lu Mingfei's life story and detailed information... As an S-level, his information is very detailed here. In principle, I wouldn't be able to see it if it weren't for the permissions you granted me."

By the way, his records from before junior high school are inaccessible, even with your access privileges.

"That doesn't matter, S-class students certainly get special treatment... but isn't his experience from middle school to now a bit too ordinary?"

Zhang Shanfeng straightened up, his self-cultivation skills as a Tai Chi master almost broken. "I can even describe it in four words - mediocre."

Not the kind of 'ordinary Louis Koo' type, but truly ordinary, so ordinary that he's like a completely average person, not an S-class hybrid... no, you could even say he's less than an average person!

"Some hybrids are indeed more susceptible to the influence of their surrounding environment before they awaken their true nature."

Ye Sheng searched for possible reasons, and he moved the mouse to circle the data.

"Lu Mingfei was sent to live with his uncle and aunt by his parents, his aunt..."

Even though he was a consistently kind-hearted person, Ye Sheng gave an extremely sharp assessment: "You could say he's not human."

"It's really unlucky to have such a relative, but to be honest, I don't think his parents are responsible either."

Zhang Shanfeng shook his head and sighed, "It's a miracle that his values ​​haven't gone astray under these circumstances... and that he even took retaliatory measures lightly when he had the power to do so."

"Although we've only met a few times, our S-class is indeed a very kind person," Ye Sheng nodded in agreement with a sigh.

"These are still within the scope of 'understandable'."

Zhang Shanfeng gestured for him to scroll down with the mouse, "It's mainly about these few days!"

Where Lu Mingfei went and what he did during this period can actually be traced.

Apart from some details that Su Enxi had secretly arranged for Jiu Demai to handle, all other changes in the public sphere were now presented in their entirety.

Compared to the dull and uninteresting data from the past five and a half years, this short period of ten days far surpasses it in both scope and brilliance by more than one level!
Just as Zhang Shanfeng said, for the first five years, Lu Mingfei was working on youthful and tragic literary scripts, but ten days ago, the script changed.

The abruptness and speed of this transformation were almost frightening, but when you look closely at the efforts Lu Mingfei made... it seems to be justified.

"It's really perverted."

Ye Sheng sighed, suddenly realizing that it wasn't so hard to accept that after so many years of studying Tai Chi, he couldn't compare to Lu Mingfei.

"I'm almost seventy years old, and I've seen all sorts of people, both domestic and foreign, but I've never seen anyone push themselves so hard. They've been doing this for ten days straight without a break!"

Zhang Shanfeng felt a chill between his teeth.

"What's most terrifying is that he persevered and remained energetic every day. His progress in all aspects was also nothing short of 'inhuman'... Do you think that's normal?"

"I sit here for four hours a day, just reviewing documents. I can barely keep up even after sleeping six or seven hours."

Ye Sheng smiled bitterly.

"But he doesn't seem to be undergoing a bloodline awakening. What mixed-race person needs such a long time to awaken their bloodline?"

"You're right..."

Zhang Shanfeng examined the large amount of data, then suddenly stopped, "Look here."

"January 13th?"

Ye Sheng scrolls the mouse wheel.

"Deadpool seems to have not completely fallen, still retaining his sanity, and even set a 'trap' to lure Chu Zihang to the West Mountain Villa. There was also the heavy rain and different kinds of illusionary words of power at work... It was that incident that made us suspect that there might be more than one Deadpool here, which can be said to be the fuse for everything."

"continue."

"The battle was extremely fierce. Afterwards, one of the buildings in Xishan Villa was completely destroyed. All the nearby surveillance footage was damaged by the shockwave and there was no real-time footage. The specific details of the battle can only be described by Chu Zihang."

According to him, the Deadpool had clearly improved considerably compared to before, making the battle extremely dangerous and nearly resulting in mutual destruction. Fortunately, Lu Mingfei intervened at the crucial moment. According to Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei used some kind of speed-related incantation to save him.

But Deadpool used this opportunity to escape and has been missing ever since.

"That's the key point... Lu Mingfei uses a speed-based incantation-like ability." Zhang Shanfeng said thoughtfully.

"The report analysis couldn't clearly explain whether it was Word of Power: Time Zero or Word of Power: Moment," Ye Shengnian said.

"No, I think it might be neither of the two; you have to look at it holistically."

Zhang Shanfeng shook his head.

"Our understanding of Word Power is actually incomplete. Many Word Powers have unknown serial numbers and unknown effects... Do you remember the unproven characteristic mentioned in the Word Power course, regarding the arrangement and distribution of Word Powers?"

"Teacher Zhang, do you mean an arrangement like the periodic table?"

"Yes, some Words of Power clearly have corresponding superior Words of Power. Just as Word of Power: Time Zero is superior to Word of Power: Moment, why can't there be a speed-type Word of Power that we don't know about, which is superior to Time Zero?"

Zhang Shanfeng stroked his beard. "It's stronger than Time Zero, but it has even stronger side effects?"

"You mean..." Ye Sheng frowned slightly.

"I think Lu Mingfei may have already awakened his bloodline."

Zhang Shanfeng pointed to the line of text displayed on the screen.

"Look, according to the physical data test results from the First People's Hospital, Lu Mingfei's overall physical condition at that time was almost the same as that of a normal person, or even slightly weak."

However, it is common sense that "one can only use the power of words after awakening," and it is also common sense that "the physical attributes of a hybrid after awakening are definitely much stronger than those of an ordinary person."

Even if Lu Mingfei is an S-class, he can't be an exception in this regard, right?
Could it be that his unknown speed-type incantation is too special, so special that it causes some unknown effect after use, resulting in a decline in physical fitness?

So this explains why his growth was so long yet incredibly rapid—it was essentially a process of 'recovery'!

"Your guess... is quite bold."

Ye Sheng stared blankly. "Theoretically speaking, it's plausible, but if that's the case, just how strong would he be at his peak?"

"I don't think there's any problem with speculating that he's an S-class talent that Principal Angers values. After all, his talent, at least in the few areas I know of so far, is ridiculously strong."

Zhang Shanfeng looked smug.

“You have no idea how unwilling Principal Angers was when I made the request that if they wanted to send an action team, Lu Mingfei must go to Kassel College as an exchange student, rather than join the Secret Party!”

"So Principal Angers finally agreed?"

"I agreed. But I don't think he has good intentions. He might not keep his word. Don't let his gentlemanly demeanor fool you; he's a real scoundrel."

Zhang Shanfeng said, "I need to think of other ways to keep Lu Mingfei's heart."

"You don't need to say these things to me..." Ye Sheng was sweating profusely.

The sudden ringing of the phone relieved him. It was fine for a big shot like Zhang Shanfeng to criticize other big shots, but it might be a problem for a nobody like him to hear it!
So he quickly picked up his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and answered.

"Chu Zihang, what's the matter?"

As Chu Zihang spoke in his usual calm tone, Ye Sheng's heart, which had just calmed down, began to pound fiercely once again.

He slowly put down the phone, his throat a little dry, and said to Zhang Shanfeng.

"Teacher Zhang, Chu Zihang just called and said that Yu Ji, the pure-blooded dragon we're looking for, is working in the president's office at the Su's Coal Mine Group because she needs someone's help..."

Zhang Shanfeng: "?"

"He also said that Yu Ji's request was that Lu Mingfei, as a super hybrid, should not kill the King of Earth and Mountains in the future. She was willing to mediate..."

Zhang Shanfeng: "???"
