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

Chapter 97 The Millennium Beauty in the Bedroom (426)

"bass!"

With the crisp sound of a long sword being drawn, a crimson glint flashed steadily and sharply across the room.

Mai Shude's eyes were sharp as a knife, and the crimson mark on the blade resembled the eyeshadow on her brow.

"It's time for me to make a move, isn't it? I've been idle for so long, it's time to stretch my legs!"

"What? It's your turn to make a move? What are you going to do?"

Su Enxi looked up from her instant noodle bowl, somewhat bewildered. Despite her exceptional intelligence and status as the possessor of the Word Power: Heavenly Evolution, she couldn't understand why Jiu De Mai had suddenly pulled this stunt.

But one thing she was still very clear about—

"Put your knife away right now! Do you know how valuable any of the equipment in this room is? Just transporting it here was a huge hassle. If you break one, who knows when we'll be able to find a replacement!"

Mai sheathed her sword and said sullenly, "It was precisely because I realized our financial difficulties that I was prepared to take matters into my own hands. If this continues, won't I be able to afford even a first-class ticket next time I go on a mission?"

Who told you we were short of funds?

Su Enxi was completely confused. She slurped up a mouthful of instant noodles and said, "Our cash flow is perfectly fine. In fact, it has even increased by three percent recently."

"really?"

Mai Shude expressed her strong doubts, saying, "But just a few days ago you were drinking a bottle of Romanée-Conti Grand Cru like it was water, and now you're eating instant noodles... braised beef flavor at that!"

"...I was just too lazy to go anywhere else to buy food, so I just made some instant noodles for convenience since it's so late."

Su Enxi finally understood Jiu De Mai's thought process. She rolled her eyes. "Besides, braised beef flavor is the classic, okay? Although it doesn't taste that great, it smells amazing!"

"Your statement is completely unconvincing..."

Mai Shude complained and threw herself back onto the sofa, her two incredibly long legs casually crossed. "So you really don't need me to do anything?"

"Now that you mention it, I'm curious."

Su Enxi asked curiously, "If our cash flow really dries up and we run out of money, how do you plan to salvage the situation? I've never seen you have any money-making skills before... You're not going to go hook up with rich guys again, are you?"

"Of course not! Making money at a time like this is just a temporary fix. When I step in, I'll use the most effective and direct method to solve our most pressing problem!"

Mai sat up and enthusiastically described her plan: "The most crucial factor that prevents Little White Rabbit No. 1 and the emotionless girl from making any breakthrough progress in their relationship is, in my opinion, the other two girls."

Among them, playing the piano is just an extra and not worth mentioning.

But the one whose family is rich is different. I've never seen anyone so beautiful! It's rare to find someone I'm even more envious of. And while her figure isn't as good as mine, it's not bad either. Plus, she's so proactive, and we've been classmates for over two years… Compared to her, Zero has absolutely no advantage.

"so?"

"So I'm going to use force to threaten her and make her kick Little White Rabbit Number One out!"

Mai Shude said with great confidence.

"In this way, not only can we eliminate the biggest threat, but we can also launch an attack while Little Rabbit One is feeling down, taking advantage of the situation and then naturally obtaining the secret to Little Rabbit One's growth..."

She clapped her hands with a "smack!" and exclaimed, "Mission accomplished! How about that? Wasn't that clever?"

"That's why I sometimes really envy your way of thinking... It makes everything so much simpler and less complicated."

Su Enxi slowly took a sip of soup.

"Isn't this okay?"

Mai Shude expressed her dissatisfaction.

"Of course not! We were already in a sure-fire situation, with victory within our grasp. But you insisted on doing this to speed things up, which will only create more variables!"

Su Enxi rolled her eyes.

"Right now, Little Rabbit Number One is just beginning to grow stronger and come into contact with the world of hybrids. He may not realize it yet, but as he delves deeper, he will discover just how dangerous it is for ordinary people in the world of hybrids. At that time, only Zero, whose bloodline is equally excellent, will be by his side!"

"What you say makes sense... it just takes a bit longer."

Mai nodded. "But that Su Xiaoqiang is exceptionally beautiful. Is she really not mixed-race, but just an ordinary person?"

"That depends on your definition of a hybrid. If you're saying a hybrid is someone who can use Word Power, or at least has the ability to open a Golden Eye, even the weakest kind... then she definitely isn't one."

Su Enxi said, "But if you say that having dragon genes in one's body makes one a hybrid, even if it's a recessive gene, then she definitely is."

"why?"

"Because according to this algorithm, there can't be a single person in the world who isn't of mixed race!"

Su Enxi rolled her eyes, but still dutifully educated this long-legged girl, whose talents were all focused on her face, figure, and combat skills, on history and science.

"The dragon race is a glorious and great civilization that existed before human history. The decline of the dragon race was accompanied by the rise of hybrid races, and at that moment, a war that lasted for thousands of years began."

In this process, hybrids need to reproduce because dragons can be immortal and reborn continuously, but hybrids cannot! In order to prevent human civilization from being wiped out by vengeful dragons, the more hybrids the better.

Do you know about Mendel's pea experiments? If you've studied even a little junior high school biology, you should know that genes have dominant and recessive traits.

But the genes of the dragon species are as peculiar as their innate extraordinary abilities, even to the point of being abnormal... The dominance and recessiveness of the dragons during the process of hybrid inheritance are unstable!

From a more fantastical perspective, this should be considered a kind of "factor contamination," but that would be too mysterious and difficult to explain, so let's explain it from a genetic perspective.

In short, due to the unstable nature of dominant and recessive traits, even when two mixed-race individuals have children, it's possible for the result to be a completely normal, ordinary person. Conversely, the union of two "ordinary people" could potentially create a mixed-race individual with exceptionally high bloodlines. In most cases, this gene remains recessive, which is why there are so few mixed-race individuals capable of activating golden eyes and using incantations; the vast majority of people in the world live as "ordinary people."

But they have dragon blood genes in their blood, and these genes have been passed down from generation to generation!

Perhaps in ancient times, around the turn of the Common Era, there might still have been ordinary people with completely pure bloodlines. But the longer time goes on, the smaller this proportion will become.

Especially in China! The attitude towards dragons here is not like that of the West, where there is deep hatred and a desire to replace them. Historically, there have been many people who were pure-blooded dragons... Dragon genes spread much more easily here.

In short, from a probabilistic standpoint, the number of people whose bodies contain absolutely no dragon genes is now infinitely close to zero!

"So you mean she's an 'ordinary person' with dragon blood genes?"

After summarizing, Mai asked curiously, "Is there any way to change this... dominant or recessive gene?"

"……I have no idea."

Su Enxi remained silent for a moment, then shook her head.

"There are many ways to increase the proportion of dragon blood in the body, but when it comes to something like this 'activation' effect... the difficulty is on a completely different level."

Because, in essence, their principles are the same: one is distillation, and the other is catalysis.

The former is simply a matter of setting a fire, but the latter can catalyze a reaction in the dragon's genes and change its 'nature'... I've compiled data on dragon history from most hybrid races worldwide, and I've never heard of anything like it!

"So, it's impossible for her?"

"impossible."

Su Enxi shook her head.

"Absolutely impossible!"

……

Su Xiaoqiang walked up the stairs in a daze, unconsciously swinging the keychain in her hand. The soft clinking of metal was particularly clear in the bright but quiet villa.

She arrived at her bedroom door and pushed it open.

Warm yellow light streamed through the crack in the door, cutting a narrow strip of light across the floor.

Su Xiaoqiang froze, as if she had been nailed to the spot by that light.

She remembered that she had turned off the light when she left the bedroom...

Almost instinctively, she wanted to turn and leave. But the door had already turned far away with her gentle push, the light trail rapidly expanding until it was completely open.

At this moment, Su Xiaoqiang suddenly wanted a place that wasn't decorated so nicely... at least the door should be of lower quality!
If it were one of those cheap, rusted doors that requires a lot of effort to open, the little force she just used should have jammed it the moment the crack appeared!
But as the door opened and the scene in the bedroom appeared before her eyes, Su Xiaoqiang was taken aback.

There is someone in the room.

She already knew this, of course, but what she only just realized was that she was also... a beauty.

This woman is so beautiful it's almost unbelievable.

Su Xiaoqiang had never seen anyone who could rival her in looks, but the woman before her could. Her figure, outlined beneath her clothes, was breathtakingly alluring, and her demeanor was calm and gentle, like a lady from an ancient scroll. One glance was enough to tell she was a woman of noble birth.

But how could such a beautiful woman bypass all the security measures and appear in my room?

Almost instantly, Su Xiaoqiang thought of the "special beings" he had just mentioned to Lu Mingfei.

But now she wasn't flustered at all, because she didn't sense any malice from the other party... If they wanted to make a move, they would have done so already.

Su Xiaoqiang steadied himself, a slight smile curving his lips into a cheeky, almost roguish grin reminiscent of Lu Mingfei.

"What is your name, sister? How old are you this year? Do you want to serve me in bed? But I am a woman and I like men."

This is undoubtedly a terrible statement, and after arguing with Lu Mingfei for so long, she has certainly grasped some of its essence.

To her surprise, the beauty actually nodded slightly and replied, her voice gentle and warm.

"My name is Yu, and I am about 2,211 years older than my younger sister. I have come here today to ask you for a favor."

Su Xiaoqiang was stunned on the spot.

2211 years?
It is now...2009.

202 BC?
Little Fairy's historical record is not ideal.

She was a typical student with high aptitude for science but disliked studying humanities... But she remembered this point in time very clearly because when she impulsively copied the cheat sheet onto her thigh, she happened to have written this line!

The Battle of Gaixia during the Chu-Han Contention!
Beauty...Ming Yu...

Su Xiaoqiang's bright eyes suddenly widened, and her pupils contracted sharply under the light.

"You are……"

She swallowed hard, the sound seeming to be squeezed out from deep in her throat.

"Yuji?"
