Dragon Clan: I am Lu Mingfei, the Intelligence Strategist, the God of Concepts!

Chapter 225 Every Long Journey Has an End

The Evrima, sixth floor, inside the alchemy laboratory.
"The structural analysis of this drop of dragon's blood has been completed."

"The model structure is spherical in shape, with three main branches extending from it: cryogenic, regeneration, and giantification."

"From the perspective of modern science, low temperature is essentially the state where the temperature of an object or environment is lower than that of its surrounding reference points, and its nature is related to the intensity of molecular thermal motion..."

"In short, it's about slowing down other 'things'."

Lu Mingfei and Shadow Warrior No. 2 are exchanging experimental data.

Essentially, Shadow Warrior No. 2 is a 'segment of consciousness' of Lu Mingfei, which also carries Lu Mingfei's 'original spiritual power'.

At such close range, Lu Mingfei and Shadow Warrior No. 2 could use a more efficient 'parallel thinking' communication method.

...But the scene of communicating entirely through brainwaves without any sound in the room would be very eerie.

To bring a touch of life into this already gloomy and cold laboratory,

Lu Mingfei decided to add dialogue to facilitate communication.

"Then, what about regeneration?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Shadow Warrior No. 2 pondered for a moment, as if searching for the knowledge stored in the body's brain.

"As we all know, the four dragon monarchs each have their own unique powers... or rather, their 'symbols'. For example, the King of Bronze and Fire is known as the 'Alchemy Throne', the King of Earth and Mountain has the 'strongest power', and according to Nicholas's research, the King of Ocean and Water has an 'infinite body'."

"The word 'infinite' can be understood as a combination of 'regeneration' and 'gigantization'."

"The size of organisms on Earth is finite, which is essentially the result of the triple constraints of physical laws, resource efficiency, and evolutionary pressure. Theoretically speaking, the larger the body, the more 'fragile' it is. According to the surface area-volume law, if the volume doubles, the surface area can only increase by 1.4 times. As the body continues to grow, the demand for material exchange will be greater. For example, in terms of heat, elephants need huge ears to dissipate heat, and the thinnest part of an elephant's skin is only 1.8 millimeters."

"On the other hand, there is the physiological efficiency of energy transport, which includes not only the efficiency of digestion but also the efficiency of energy absorption and utilization. Taking elephants as an example again, African elephants eat 300 kilograms of grass every day, but the digestion rate is only 40%..."

"As animals transport blood from their hearts to their toes, the distance and blood pressure increase continuously, posing a significant risk of blood vessel rupture. Therefore, theoretically, the size of organisms will stop at the optimal range of 'sufficient and safe,' rather than growing indefinitely. This is the result of a long process of evolution..."

Shadow Warrior Number Two continued to talk eloquently.

Lu Mingfei is now starting to believe that Nicholas Flamel was once Newton's teacher; the guy is practically a scientist with profound knowledge of modern biology.

"But the king of the ocean and water has defied this physical law."

Shadow Warrior No. 2 pointed to the blood on the workbench, which was sealed and preserved but still continuously emitted an astonishingly cold aura.

“There is a ‘rule’ in the blood… I’ll call it the ‘growth rule’ for now, which represents passive regeneration and autonomous proliferation.”

“I believe this is a more advanced rule than ‘low temperature’.”

"It is the nucleus, the seed, the one, the newborn."

"This rule transcends the theories of physical and biological evolution. As long as there is nutrition, it can regenerate indefinitely and can autonomously control the direction of cell differentiation for in vitro proliferation. Therefore, theoretically, the body of the king of the ocean and water can grow indefinitely, and even if its heart is damaged, it can regenerate quickly."

"This is the true meaning of 'infinite body', 'infinite growth', and 'infinite existence'."

Lu Mingfei fell into deep thought.

In retrospect, the fact that the Chen family was able to "defeat" Leviathan at the Chen family manor was purely a coincidence of many factors coming together.

Leviathan's physical strength truly impressed him; its endurance and recovery capabilities were nothing short of terrifying.

If it weren't for the hasty release of 'Primordial Manifestation' being interrupted by himself, causing a severe mental backlash and greatly reducing combat power.

In addition... the other party may have mistaken him for the White King, and naturally carried a certain fear in their heart.

At this moment, Lu Mingfei could draw a conclusion: the 'killing' rule wielded by the White King should have a great restraining effect on the 'infinite body' of the Ocean and Water King.

Finally, there's the incredible shot fired by Duanlongtai and Jiude Mai using the Philosopher's Stone.

A combination of factors led to the defeat of the King of the Ocean and Water at the hands of Lu Mingfei.

But then again...

The phrase "Word of Power: Do Not Die" can also be understood as a partial manifestation of the "Growth Rules".

This is also one of the important reasons why Lu Mingfei did not fall behind in the battle.

……

Lu Mingfei slowly withdrew his gaze.

The "Words of Power" section now includes "Judgment" and "Netherworld".

Through the interpretation of the dragon script, the incantations that can be completely simulated in a 'spiritual' way will be included in the panel. This is a problem he discovered a long time ago.

The power of words has evolved from being passively extracted to being actively obtained through analysis.

It is undoubtedly a significant step forward... but we are still some distance from being divine, which is why it feels like we are already very far from being human.

I originally wanted to grab Lu Mingze and ask him what was going on, but it seems like he's offline and there's been no response. I even asked Potato Chip Girl if she could help me get in touch with him, but she said no.
This head maid hasn't received any instructions from the boss for a while now, and their communication usually relies solely on Lu Mingze.

A moment of silence,

Lu Mingfei looked at the shadow warrior and continued to ask, "Then what do you think is the current physical development level of this Ocean and Water King?"

"It cannot be calculated," Shadow Warrior Number Two said, shaking his head.

"First of all, Erii was contaminated by dragon blood almost 20 years ago. According to Zero's description, the black snake was already dead at that time and acted entirely on its physical instincts. It was over 100 meters long. Moreover, Zero's perspective may be that of Nibelungen, which is somewhere between reality and illusion. Otherwise, a black snake of this size should not be active on glaciers, but in the sea... On the other hand, if the black snake was kept under control afterward, then anything that grew passively would inevitably be 'taken away' by someone, and its size should not have changed."

"Of course, there is another possibility: this king of the ocean and water, like Nicholas, chose to actively 'cocoonize,' abandoning his original body and beginning to nurture a new one... But to be honest, my research on the dragon king's cocooning is limited because the chances are too few."

Shadow Warrior Number Two confessed.

“Alright.” Lu Mingfei sighed.

Dragons, especially dragon kings, are indeed difficult to kill completely.

In fact, even now, Lu Mingfei is not sure whether he truly 'killed' Leviathan at the Chen family manor or merely 'defeated' him.

"It's a pity that the Bloodline Curse's range is still too small. If it could cover the whole world, wouldn't it be possible to find all the dragon eggs and completely end the dragon era..."

Lu Mingfei thought for a moment and then asked:
"So if we help the Little Celestial Maiden become a hybrid, then her Word of Power will most likely be randomly generated from the three paths of 'low temperature,' 'regeneration,' and 'gigantic growth'?"

"That's the theory."

Shadow Warrior No. 2 nodded: "After all, both the bloodline and the spiritual source are from the lineage of the King of the Ocean and Water. Furthermore, based on the history of the Oliveira family's Word of Power, it is not difficult to deduce that the origin of this family is also inextricably linked to the King of the Ocean and Water. It's just that the descendants have continuously interbred, diluting the bloodline."

Lu Mingfei: "The last 'giantization' doesn't feel quite right. Let's see if we can avoid it."

……

A month later.

Erii's stitches were removed on that day.

Although it sounds a bit tragic, under the matrix that Lu Mingfei carefully designed for her, Erii did not feel any pain during the entire filtering and extraction process.

As the toxins from the dragon blood within him were expelled, his long-dormant body began to gradually warm up, like a spring breeze thawing the ice.

Two weeks ago, the 'Frigga series' reagents were also discontinued.

After playing mahjong every day, Erii no longer spent all day in the pool with her sisters. Instead, she continued to follow the "74 Little Tips for Mastering Judgment" that Lu Mingfei had written for her.
We attempted to dissect the dragon-script unit of 'trial' word by word and sentence by sentence.

It wasn't just 'death', but also two other core dragon runes obtained through [deep intelligence extraction privileges].

So far, the effect is pretty good.

The sea and sky were clear and cloudless.

"Sakura..."

"Sister Snake..."

Erii stood gracefully on the top deck of the Evrima, gazing at the boundless sea, and slowly began to speak.

Behind them, Lu Mingfei had already emerged from the laboratory, followed by Su Xiaoqiang, Ling, and Nuwa.

Celebrating the girl's new life, their faces beamed with heartfelt joy.

Prior to this, Erii's bloodline was mostly suppressed by 'Deadpool Fetal Serum' or 'Frigga Series' reagents, which on the surface could maintain stability, but the bloodlines of the White King lineage and the Ocean and Water King lineage were constantly intertwined after birth, causing instability in the root of her bloodline.

It is difficult to control the dissipated force.

This also resulted in her always being 'passively' reciting parts of the dragon script of 'Word of Power: Judgment'.

But now, with the foreign blood completely expelled from her body, and through continuous practice based on the 'Judgment' dragon rune dismantling provided by Lu Mingfei, Erii is finally able to control her voice and speech.

"Sister Su..."

"Zero..."

Read everyone's names in turn.

Everything went smoothly, and no unexpected changes occurred.

Erii tilted her head and began to read out numbers in both Chinese and Japanese.

"One, two, three, four, five..."

Erii's voice is very clear, naturally blending the magnetism of a mature girl with the innocence of a child.

However, because she hadn't spoken for a long time, Erii's choice of words and sentences was somewhat unnatural, a bit too formal, and also carried a stiffness similar to that of a computer program.

"...Go up the mountain to fight the tiger."

Lu Mingfei encouraged her from behind, "Great job, Erii. Try saying a few more sentences, try some more complex ones."

"For example, you could introduce yourself or talk about what you want to do in the future."

Erii tilted her head back, the sea breeze blowing her dark red hair down to her snow-white bare shoulders. Today she was wearing a white off-the-shoulder dress, looking like a princess celebrating her birthday.

"My name is... Erii Uesugi! I'm eighteen years old."

"What I want in the future..."

A gentle sea breeze caressed her face, and the cloudless sea appeared so peaceful and beautiful.

Erii suddenly stopped.

After a long period of hesitation, and glancing back at everyone furtively, he finally smiled and said:

"I want to eat Five-Eyes Fried Rice for the rest of my life!"

……

Erii has always been a very nostalgic person.

Although she can speak freely now, she will not throw away the notebook that has been with her for more than ten years, or the ballpoint pen with the duck-shaped cap.

I would also take time every day to write on it.

But the contents inside will not be shown to anyone else; it's a secret written only for the little notebook.

And once the dragon blood issue was completely resolved, Erii immediately sent a message to her two older brothers across the ocean.
She, who usually has very few facial expressions, now had a happy smile on her delicate face, and her eyes were sparkling.

Genjiro: "Eri, are you having fun at sea lately? Are you feeling unwell?"

Erii's Line: "It feels so good, my illness is completely cured!"

Eriyi's Line: "(Voice: 12s)"

Kazama Ruri: "Wow, Erii's voice is so beautiful, it's amazing! I'm releasing a new album next month, would you be interested in singing a duet with me?"

Erii's Line: "Singing? I've been learning lately!"

Genjiro: "(Excited.jpg) Erii, you've worked hard. When are you planning to come back?"

Erii's Line: "I'll definitely come back next time. I had a lot of fun with Sakura and my sisters."

Yuan Zhisheng: "What do you usually play?"

Erii's Line: "Playing mahjong, playing games, drinking, tonight I plan to secretly go to Sakura for a massage by myself, and learn to sing while I'm at it."

Yuan Zhisheng: "?"

Ruri Kazama: "..."

Erii's Line: "Don't worry, brother! Sakura is very gentle! Last month, Sakura hung a lot of little bags on me, and she filled them all up yesterday, which means I'm cured."

Yuan Zhisheng: "?!"

Kazama Ruri: "No... wait!"

……

"What are you mumbling about?"

Lu Mingfei frowned, moved the phone away, and pressed the hang-up button. The contact displayed was Yuan Zhisheng.

"What do you mean you're threatening me? I cured your sister, and now you're threatening me?"

Put down your phone and return to your workstation.

Through repeated deductions and calculations, he and Shadow Warrior No. 2 worked together...
They finally devised a 'bloodline enhancement' plan suitable for Su Xiaoqiang.

"Are you sure that as long as we do it this way, the Little Celestial Maiden won't gain the power of 'Giant' and become the 'Great Celestial Maiden'?"

Looking at the large stack of manuscript papers in front of him, Lu Mingfei and Shadow Warrior No. 2 made a final confirmation.

"Theoretically speaking... that's how it is."

Shadow Warrior No. 2 hesitated.

Based on the results derived from his knowledge framework theory, such a solution is indeed a sure thing.

The problem is that, compared to the mentally strong Aiton Gottingen, Uesugi Erii has a superior bloodline.

Su Xiaoqiang is just an ordinary person through and through.

Norton's solution is reliable with a low loss rate, but the materials used seem to be slightly over-limited.

Even in the ancient dragon race era, there were very few precedents of the first generation using 'fetal blood' to directly grant bloodlines to 'ordinary people', not to mention that the spiritual material was the Philosopher's Stone produced by the death of the next generation.

"Calculation results show that the probability of Little Celestial Maiden's bloodline enhancement is 99.78%, of which the probability of becoming an A-level hybrid is 34.22%, the probability of becoming a B-level hybrid is 21.75%, the probability of becoming an S-level hybrid is 36.11%, the probability of reaching the level of a royal being like Nuwa or Zero is 7.7%, and the probability of becoming a super hybrid is 0%."

Shadow Warrior Number Two reported.

"As for acquiring the power of words... there is currently insufficient experimental theory to support it."

"We can only assume that by suppressing the expression of the 'gigantic' link in the blood as much as possible, we can reduce the probability of the little fairy obtaining the corresponding incantation."

“I called Old Tang before, and Norton said he hadn’t paid attention to this before.”

Lu Mingfei remained silent.

Theoretically speaking, overly high-level words of power are highly likely to have 'passive' effects, such as 'Indra' which affects personality, or 'Judgment' which interferes with the voice system.

"However, historically, apart from 'giants' who are most likely pure-blooded dragons in disguise, normal humans have never obtained any words of power related to limb enlargement... so there's no need to worry that the little fairy will become a monster."

Shadow Warrior Number Two comforted him.

Rather than saying that the puppet was comforting Lu Mingfei, it would be more accurate to say that Lu Mingfei was comforting himself.

"When does it start?" Shadow Warrior Number Two asked.

Lu Mingfei pondered for a moment, then glanced at the calendar in the lab: "Let's check it two more times, it's almost time."

"Don't worry too much about the power of words; just ensure security and stability."

……

Two days later, in Binhai.

The 41-day sea voyage has finally come to an end.

The Evrima crossed the Strait of Gibraltar, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Suez Canal, finally returning to its port on the southern coast of the Mediterranean in late August.

The group members expressed their gratitude to the potato chip vendor.

"Wow, that's amazing! You've been in the sun for so many days and haven't gotten any tanned at all?"

Lu Mingfei picked up the photos he had taken before boarding the ship and compared them, exclaiming in surprise, "What kind of sunscreen did you use?"

"...That's because you didn't get much sun exposure. The best way to protect yourself from the sun is to avoid getting sunburned! Haven't you heard that saying?" Su Xiaoqiang pursed her lips.

As it turns out, long periods of life at sea inevitably end in monotony and boredom.

No matter how beautiful the surrounding seascape is.

From the middle of the journey onward, apart from occasional port calls for sightseeing and shopping in coastal cities, the girls mostly stayed in the activity room, some playing cards, some playing games, and some studying the trial...

And, memorizing the sales pitch.

These days, Su Xiaoqiang has memorized the lines that Jiude Mai tailored for her perfectly, and has even practiced them in front of the mirror hundreds of times, vowing to win someone over in one fell swoop.

Now Su Xiaoqiang naturally knows that the Nuwa was just talking nonsense again. The yacht was only sailing on the sea and had not left Earth. If she wanted to, she could have asked someone to bring over some medicine that could transform her into human form from the Zhou family palace. With the help of GPS positioning, it would only take a day and a night at most to travel by plane.

Not to mention that they're back on shore now.

But Nuwa is still pretending to be dead!
This heavy burden still rests on her shoulders... Damn it!
“Little Celestial Maiden,” Lu Mingfei suddenly said. “What?” Su Xiaoqiang smoothed her hair and turned her head to the side.

"Go back and rest for a bit, then I'll start drawing the alchemy matrix for you," Lu Mingfei reminded him.

"okay……"

Su Xiaoqiang's momentum immediately diminished by half.

After a moment, she hesitated and said, "Um, if it's not too much trouble, could you please not have them watching me from the side?"

Lu Mingfei was taken aback, looking at Su Xiaoqiang's increasingly flushed face, and roughly understood what she meant.
"That's okay."

Actually, Lu Mingfei wasn't particularly concerned about whether he had any helpers.

He can do it all by himself.

When Nuwa treated Erii last time, Nuwa herself requested to be there to help cover for her, and Erii herself had no objection. After all, she was just a child and had no sense of shame about exposing her body.

She only saw herself as a patient, her sisters as family, and Sakura as kind to her, so it didn't matter.

But Su Xiaoqiang is different.

Both psychologically and physiologically, Xiaotiannv is a grown-up girl... During the later data collection sessions, she didn't want others to see her embarrassed state, after all, it's different from swimming.

Su Xiaoqiang gritted her teeth, made up her mind immediately, and stared at Lu Mingfei with her beautiful eyes.

"Then we don't need to rest anymore. Let's go now. I've found a good place."

……

One hour later, at the Peacock Mansion,
"go home!"

Su Xiaoqiang pulled a key from under the doormat and skillfully opened the door.

What comes into view is an apartment decorated in a European style.

Why here?

Lu Mingfei stared blankly at the room.

He was dragged here by Su Xiaoqiang.
Upon arriving at the upper floors of the Peacock Mansion residential complex, I roughly guessed Su Xiaoqiang's thoughts.

This is... the place where he and Su Xiaoqiang lived together in the very beginning.

There was also an old man named Tang back then, but now he's enjoying a good life in Europe, quietly settling down and reflecting.

Later, Nuwa stayed in this room for a short period of time.

Now only Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang remain.

“They have good hearing, and this place is far away and safe.”

Su Xiaoqiang turned on the light. "I later asked Senior Brother Chu to buy this house."

"Oh, safe... safe is good."

Actually, Lu Mingfei had mentioned buying the house to Chu Zihang before, but his senior brother Renyi refused, saying that the house was a gift for him and he could stay there as he pleased. So why was it suddenly sold to Xiaotiannv this time?

I really need to find an opportunity to talk to my senior about this later...

Lu Mingfei swallowed hard for some reason and followed him in.

"I'll go change my clothes first." Su Xiaoqiang walked towards the room.

"Ok."

The door was ajar, and pleasant rustling sounds could be heard from inside.

Lu Mingfei looked around the room.

The room was as spacious as ever, with solid wood parquet floors, arched doors and windows, and a huge crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling... It had been cleaned in advance, and the floor was spotless.

I touched the table; it wasn't dusty at all.

"It's so nice... to be home."

Previously, Lu Mingfei's biggest wish was to live in a BIG HOUSE. He never thought about Peacock Mansion. A slightly newer building with good lighting and an elevator would be great. If he lived there alone, he could customize the details to his liking.

Perhaps this is what home looks like in the dreams of all those who live in poverty.

Now that conditions are better and I've lived in bigger houses, I still feel warm and at ease when I walk into this room.

Lu Mingfei suddenly thought of Kazama Ruri and Sakurai Kogure, who were far away in Japan.

The two leaders of the Demon Clan, number two and number three, chose a similar apartment as their hideout in Tokyo.

Flowers are planted on the balcony, and there is a black SAMICK grand piano in the corner of the living room. Sakurai Kogure cleans the house every day and keeps it very clean. Cosmetics and singing costumes are displayed in the cabinet.

The door reopened.

A girl dressed in a plus-size white T-shirt and short yoga pants came out. Her face, without any makeup, was flawless, giving her a slightly sleepy and innocent look. After taking a few steps, her gaze drifted to the boy in the living room.
"Would you like to eat something first?"

Lu Mingfei slowly came to his senses: "What is it?"

Su Xiaoqiang had already straightened her clothes, tucked a few stray hairs behind her ears to reveal her glistening earlobes: "Drinks, fruits, and such are in the fridge. I asked Aunt Chen to prepare them yesterday."

It seems the cleaning lady also helped with the housekeeping beforehand, including cleaning Su Xiaoqiang's clothes.

“That works too.” Lu Mingfei nodded.

A moment later, he received a plate of chilled pineapple.

Su Xiaoqiang sat to the side drinking a peach-flavored fruit juice, with one leg draped over the sofa. Her beautiful upper body was stretched out freely, and under her oversized white T-shirt was a set of light black lace lingerie, with one shoulder strap hanging loosely.

The curtains had been drawn long ago.

Her fair collarbone and swan-like neck were illuminated by the sunlight filtering through the black floral patterns on the curtains. The lace on her shoulders blended with the floral patterns, creating a mysterious and alluring design that was so beautiful it took one's breath away.

"tasty."

Lu Mingfei's voice was somewhat dry, as if he had a pineapple stuck in his throat.

"Ah."

Su Xiaoqiang casually replied, and carried the juice back to her room.
"Just leave it here after you finish eating. I'm going in now."

"I'll be waiting for you!"

Lu Mingfei remained silent for a long while, then vigorously rubbed his cheeks, silently squeezing the pineapple juice out with his teeth.
"Ok."

……

The central air conditioning system continuously delivers air at a constant temperature.

It was daytime outside, but the curtains were drawn, and the bedroom was pitch black.

Su Xiaoqiang lay on the bed, trying her best to breathe steadily, wishing she could turn over every two seconds.

Lu Mingfei was very nervous, but Su Xiaoqiang was even more nervous than Lu Mingfei.

This time, everything is in place – the right time, the right place, and the right people.

Su Xiaoqiang had no reason to fail, but that was precisely why she absolutely could not fail.

"Pure lust and spiritual comfort..."

"When people talk about the word 'soul,' it's ultimately just an excuse for their brains to numb themselves and deliberately define love..."

"Love is an everlasting beacon, gazing fixedly at the storm, yet unmoved..."

The lines that the long-legged teacher had designed for her kept flashing through Su Xiaoqiang's mind. Some of them seemed to be taken from a stage play, and just reading a few lines made her blush.

However, the teacher with long legs should be able to teach without any problems.
After all, the action and expression elements seem to be showing initial results.
All that’s left is…

Just then, she heard a slight 'click' sound from the door.

Su Xiaoqiang was startled and quickly composed herself.

Immediately, Lu Mingfei's voice was heard: "Why is it so dark? Aren't you going to turn on the lights?"

"..."

Su Xiaoqiang forgot.

pat-

She patted the bedside lamp with her slender hand, and the dim yellow light immediately shone brightly.

Lu Mingfei stood at the door, carrying a briefcase full of tools, looking at the surroundings... He inexplicably wanted to say, "Technician No. 88 is at your service."

He held back.

Walking slowly towards the large bed, the room was the master bedroom, which was very spacious. Su Xiaoqiang tried her best to relax, but Lu Mingfei could tell at a glance whether her lying posture was stiff.

With her hands resting on her lower abdomen, her graceful curves traced an arc on the soft mattress, and her toes curled slightly, forming a distinct arch.

Lu Mingfei moved a stool, sat down on the edge of the bed, placed the tools at his feet, and took out the pair of Philosopher's Stones.

The red crystal flickered in the darkness.

"Cough cough... According to my meticulous calculations, the best way is to first complete the construction of your spirit, and then use the alchemical matrix to lock the dragon blood in your body to form a cycle."

Su Xiaoqiang opened her mouth, probably about to deliver her lines, but seeing Lu Mingfei's serious expression...

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back.

Wait, wait a little longer... now is not the time.

"Oh."

She let out a muffled sound, her fingers unconsciously touching her underwear.

Just like last time when I treated Erii, there will most likely be no obstacles this time either.

"...Don't rush."

Lu Mingfei kicked off his slippers, moved onto the bed, and lay down beside Su Xiaoqiang, wrapping his arms around her waist from the side.
"Let me hug you."

"?"

Su Xiaoqiang froze, her beautiful eyes widening in the dim light.

Noticing her stiffness, Lu Mingfei slowed his movements a few beats. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"Do not……"

Su Xiaoqiang bit her lip and stood there stunned for a long time before realizing that the current progress seemed to be different from what the long-legged teacher was teaching... This guy?

"good."

After a long while, she still spoke in a very low voice, like a mosquito humming.

Ultimately, she softened a bit and scooted back a little.

This made it easier for Lu Mingfei to hold her.

He swallowed the prepared words back down his throat, ready to see what this guy was up to this time.

Lu Mingfei gently stroked Su Xiaoqiang's lower abdomen with his palm. Because of fitness and a healthy diet, Su Xiaoqiang had very low abdominal fat, so it felt soft and firm to the touch.

He likes to draw circles around his navel, lingering along the tight V-line and abs layer by layer.

Lu Mingfei also changed his clothes. Speaking of which, this shirt was bought for him by Su Xiaoqiang. It had a bear printed on it, and I think it was some brand. His aunt also brought it over.

Su Xiaoqiang didn't move; she gradually quieted down.

Through their respective soft home clothing, the two could clearly feel each other.

This intimate caressing wasn't a one-off occurrence; it was the result of repeated data measurements. Su Xiaoqiang had long since grown accustomed to the boy's hand. Neither of them spoke, letting time slip away unnoticed.

Suddenly, Su Xiaoqiang shifted forward uncomfortably, her back to Lu Mingfei, her voice now slightly husky and magnetic:

"Didn't you say you'd help me become a hybrid?"

But Lu Mingfei didn't let her leave him; his strong arms pulled her back.

"Yes, but there's something I need to tell you."

"You said."

“Actually, I knew a long time ago that there were other ways to help you become a hybrid,” Lu Mingfei said.

Su Xiaoqiang was stunned for a long time and did not react until Lu Mingfei stopped moving his hands. Her body suddenly twitched slightly and she was laughing.

"why are you laughing?"

“Actually, I already knew,” Su Xiaoqiang said softly. “Zero told me.”

Zero told Su Xiaoqiang about the Contract of Fate? Lu Mingfei suddenly wanted to give Zero's head a good rub.

I thought to myself, "Why does this girl tell everyone everything?"

Su Xiaoqiang turned her head and gazed at him with her watery eyes: "But wouldn't that make it a contract or an agreement? I know you're incredibly capable now, but you've always respected us."

"But Lu Mingfei, do you really understand what we're thinking?"

"I……"

Just as Lu Mingfei was about to utter a word, his lips were suddenly sealed by something soft.

His eyes widened instantly.

Warm, soft fingers wrapped around Lu Mingfei's neck from behind, their noses touched, and their breaths mingled.

After an unknown amount of time, the soft peach flavor finally drifted away, lingering like a cloud.

"Now answer me, Lu Mingfei, do you really understand what I'm thinking?"

Su Xiaoqiang leaned against him, her smile as bright as spring flowers.

Lu Mingfei's breathing slowed slightly, as if he was trying his best to wake up from the kiss.

"……I."

He responded with a second, deep kiss.

It might have been just a fleeting moment, or it might have felt like an eternity. Time seemed to stand still in that instant. If the long-legged teacher had seen this, she would have cheered loudly... This was completely different from what she had planned.

Su Xiaoqiang deviated from her script and lines, and abandoned her carefully designed gradual progression, retaining only the final domineering attack.

There was no reason, it's just because... it seems unnecessary.

From the moment Lu Mingfei climbed onto the bed and hugged her from behind.

The answer to everything is now clear.

Su Xiaoqiang finally released Lu Mingfei and whispered:

"You say you don't care, but you still care a lot, right?"

Lu Mingfei silently raised his head.

A thousand words were already condensed into two long, lingering kisses.

The girl in front of me had eyes, corners of her eyes, neck, and every inch of her skin... crimson like blood, yet clear and bright.

She was very clear-headed.

"I'm sorry." Lu Mingfei hugged the person in front of him tightly.

"There's nothing to apologize for, and it's not just your problem, it's mine. I've never seriously considered everything behind it."

Su Xiaoqiang whispered in his ear, "But this is my answer. I've thought it through and I'm ready."

She paused for a moment, then said, "This is also their answer. Although they were somewhat unwilling, I'm relaying it to you because I promised them."

Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a little flustered, but the girl in front of him shrank even closer into his arms.

"I don't care. They are far more outstanding than me, and they don't care, so why should I? Because I really like you."

"No... Little Celestial Maiden."

Just as Lu Mingfei was about to say something, Su Xiaoqiang stretched out a finger and covered his lips.

"Just today, you belong only to me, okay?"

She smiled and said, "In this place, where we first met again."

Love is the most beautiful experience in the world, sweet and warm. In the eyes of some people, all honor and disgrace may not be worth a fraction of love, and those who are painful and sad will eventually retreat in the face of true love.

The air conditioner overhead was still blowing warm air, and the girl in front of her was breaking down her emotions and scattering them into the wind, blowing through every corner of her body.

When he turned around to stop her, he found that she had already melted into the wind and seeped into his skin.

“Little Heavenly Maiden,” Lu Mingfei said again.

"Hmm?" Su Xiaoqiang raised her head and brushed her messy hair aside.

"I like you too."

"Mmm," Su Xiaoqiang responded softly.
But Lu Mingfei continued speaking.
"As I just told you, this is the design I came up with after thinking about it for a long time."

Prioritize improving your mental strength, then use dragon blood to enhance your bloodline.

"So?" Su Xiaoqiang tilted her head.

Lu Mingfei cupped her face and said seriously, "There's something I didn't make clear earlier. Before improving your mental strength, you must deplete it completely to ensure absolute safety."

"so?"

Su Xiaoqiang tilted her head again and asked.

So now I'm asking you seriously, are you ready?

Looking at the girl's face so close to his, Lu Mingfei's breathing became rapid.

"Okay, Lu Mingfei."

As Su Xiaoqiang felt the boy's tremendous movements, a smile slowly crept onto her lips.

"I hope you can keep your word."
