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

Chapter 238 God, let me learn a little more

[Warning, it's time for [sleep]...]

"call……"

With a long, slow exhale, Lu Mingfei pulled his thoughts away from his intensive study, trying to return to normalcy and banishing the thought that naturally arose: "God, let me study a little longer."

Studying? Study my ass! It's normal for the brain to have problems. With so many nerve cells, a few will suddenly twitch and come up with some outrageous ideas, right? The body is responsible for carrying out actions! Now that he has suddenly relaxed, Lu Mingfei can feel his whole body starting to cry out for rest.

Having [Stamina Recovery] and [Stamina Boost] doesn't mean he'll never feel tired, because in most cases, schedules still respect the law of conservation of energy, and replenishing stamina inevitably requires consuming energy within the body.

Since he started exercising, Lu Mingfei has experienced a significant increase in his daily appetite. However, he roughly estimated that even with this increased appetite, it would be impossible for a normal person to replenish the energy consumed by exercise and studying at this rate.

So the schedule did offer "a tiny bit" of help in this regard...

Lu Mingfei is currently unclear about the specific mechanism of action; it can't be something like "controlled fission" or "controlled fusion," can it? Anyway, the utilization rate is ridiculously high.

But it can't be higher than 100%, otherwise it would be like creating cards out of thin air... So even if the speed is slow, it will still be consumed.

When the total energy stored in the body drops below the warning line but floats slightly above the danger line, the feeling of being tired but not hungry will appear.

"Sleeping at this time, waking up three hours later to study, then exercising, and eating just when you're hungry... it's perfect!"

Lu Mingfei stood up, stretched, and didn't bother to figure out if there was a schedule or plan involved... Anyway, he couldn't leave, and it was his own plan, so what could he do? Just put up with it!
"Have you finished learning?"

A girl's long-awaited question came from the side. Lu Mingfei was startled and looked in the direction of the voice.

It was Su Xiaoqiang. The girl was lying on her back on his bed, looking at him with her head turned towards him. Her long, smooth black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, some of it falling along the edge of the bed and almost touching the floor. She looked like she had just taken a shower. Her face was bare of makeup, yet she was still extremely beautiful. She was wearing a slightly loose nightgown, revealing her delicate, fair collarbone. And looking further ahead...

Lu Mingfei looked away as if he had been burned.

"What's wrong?" the girl giggled, feigning ignorance.

"When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you..."

In his panic, Lu Mingfei stammered, changing the subject, "Don't be so arrogant, you vixen!"

"Then come and subdue me, Master?" the demoness asked with a beaming smile.

"My cultivation is still shallow; I will need to retreat into seclusion and study for another six months..."

"Lu, the cultivator who is about to turn eighteen, said fiercely."

"alright……"

If this continues, it will never end. Although Su Xiaoqiang enjoys teasing Lu Mingfei, she is also aware of the principle of moderation. Not to mention that she lost her bet with Ling earlier... As a little fairy, she has her own pride and still adheres to her principles.

"I only have one question."

Su Xiaoqiang stopped lying on her back, turned over, and sat up straight on her knees. Seemingly finding her loose hair too cumbersome, she gathered it up with both hands and tidied it behind her head.

Lu Mingfei now understands the ancient poems describing girls as having "eyes that sparkle and radiate light; graceful postures that are pleasing to the eye and still in motion." Some girls are so beautiful that even the simplest gesture can captivate people.

A fairy, definitely a fairy!

Su Xiaoqiang was quite satisfied with her results. As for how she was sure? Just look at Lu Mingfei's somewhat glazed gaze; it couldn't be more obvious!

It was worth it for her to put on underwear after taking a shower!

There's nothing we can do about it... Even the most gifted girl, if she's truly all-natural, will be powerless against gravity, and mountains will simply lie flat. In this situation, creating an abyss requires external assistance.

However, being able to create a stark contrast and strike a "worthy opponent" makes this sacrifice worthwhile! The only pity is that Zero didn't come tonight. I don't know if he expected this or if he wanted to "take the opportunity to get angry" so that he could make Lu Mingfei "make amends" in a logical way.
Su Xiaoqiang felt it was very likely that she possessed both qualities! Even with the difference in physique, Zero was an extremely formidable opponent, putting immense pressure on her. Therefore, she didn't hesitate to analyze Zero from the most astute angle possible. Sometimes, Su Xiaoqiang felt mentally exhausted. What was with this formidable enemy appearing out of nowhere? If she only had Liu Miaomiao as a competitor, she would have already declared final victory and celebrated with champagne…

"what's up?"

Lu Mingfei's question brought Su Xiaoqiang back on track. The saying "one is influenced by one's company" applies here; after learning too much nonsense from Lu Mingfei, her way of thinking and logic sometimes inevitably became somewhat erratic…

"that is……"

The girl leaned forward instinctively, her bright eyes shimmering with anticipation.

"Have you found the place where I awakened my bloodline?"

!!!

Lu Mingfei's expression froze as expected. After Su Xiaoqiang asked him that question, he finally remembered that there seemed to be such a thing!

"You...you haven't forgotten, have you?"

Who is Su Xiaoqiang? She is a shrewd and intelligent young woman. Otherwise, her father would not have been able to confidently groom her to take over as the group's president at such a young age. Moreover, she and Lu Mingfei have been enemies for two and a half years, so they are naturally quite familiar with each other. It is really hard for him not to notice the change in his expression at a glance.

"Forget? Of course not! I think I've probably found it..."

Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, then said cautiously, "It's just that... there was a slight twist in the process, a little accident."

Is it a tiny bit, or a 'hundreds of millions'?

Su Xiaoqiang sighed softly, "What exactly happened? Just tell me, don't worry, I can handle it!"

"Oh, that whole place was blown up into a mushroom cloud..."

Silence, deathly silence, so quiet that Lu Mingfei could hear his own heartbeat quickening. A sense of tension involuntarily spread and rose within him, like being called on by the teacher to answer a question he couldn't answer during a public lecture because he had been daydreaming.

But this silence lasted only two seconds before it was broken by Su Xiaoqiang, dispelled by a light laugh.

"Aren't you... angry?"

Lu Mingfei was taken aback and asked instinctively.

"Why should I be angry? It must have been very dangerous to get into that situation."

Su Xiaoqiang got out of bed, and in those two short seconds she seemed to have completely digested the news and transformed her expectations into an understanding of reality.

She took a step forward, suspended in mid-air. Lu Mingfei instinctively reached out to catch her, and the soft, fragrant body entered his arms.

"As long as you're okay."

The girl looked up at him from his arms, her eyes filled with the same pride and confidence as always, her tone so firm it was as if she were making a declaration.

"I knew things wouldn't be that simple. But it doesn't matter, there are always other ways, and I'll definitely do it... You'll help me too, right?"

"Correct."

"Awesome."

With a gentle push of her arms, she landed lightly on Lu Mingfei's cheek, like a dragonfly skimming the water, then pushed him away, slipped on her slippers, and turned to leave.

Goodnight!
