A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 206 This Dragon King is a bit...
In the Kassel preparatory school library, Xu Lie walked among the bookshelves, recalling his past underhanded development methods. He usually had his clones come here to acquire alchemical knowledge and then pass it on to his main body, which he found amusing.

For the past month or so, Xu Lie has been exploring the spirit world.

Exploring the spirit world, which is dangerous for extraordinary individuals, is no problem for Xu Lie at present.

The Spirit Realm was too vast to explore completely. Having considered his options, Xu Lie returned to the capital, satisfied. It was time to help Fenrir fully restore his dragon form.

Previously, with only Sequence 4, he was unable to fully restore Fenrir's dragon body. Now that he has advanced to Sequence 3, Xu Lie is confident that he can restore Fenrir.

When Xu Lie's clone, who was originally staying in the preparatory class, heard that his main body was going back to the capital, he hurriedly submitted a report to apply for leave.

The preparatory class clone indicated that he also wanted to go out and have fun, and did not want to stay in the preparatory class forever, which was criticized by Xu Lie.

Anyway, since the other eight source material clones have all been given holidays, giving another preparatory class clone a holiday is no big deal. He can also go back to school to visit.

When I was first tormented by the nine source substances, I stayed in the preparatory class. I have many memories from there. Traveling and seeing more helps to better maintain one's humanity.

The preparatory class's clones excitedly searched for the large group of students from Shanghai who were on holiday, but no one knew where they had gone to play.

After wandering around the library, Xu Lie strolled leisurely to the alchemy classroom, the place where he started his business.

As he headed toward the alchemy classroom, Xu Lie recalled that his initial dragon blood material was stolen from the preparatory class's alchemy classroom.

Without the alchemy classroom providing dragon blood materials, he wouldn't have been able to advance to Sequence 8 and Sequence 7 back then.

Now that things have progressed, Xu Lie has no intention of returning the materials. This has nothing to do with human nature; it is merely a reflection of the self-cultivation of a thief with extraordinary means.

"Huh? Xu Lie?" Before Xu Lie could go back to the alchemy classroom to check, Xia Mi actually left the alchemy classroom first and happened to meet him downstairs.

Similar to the Kassel headquarters, Xia Mi is also very resistant to the cold, wearing only a blue and white checkered wool coat in the dead of winter. The relatively subdued colors make her look a little more mature.

The girlish innocence on her face was not so obvious, and the sky blue scarf of the same color temperature made her neck look slightly bulky.

Moving down, the outfit becomes much cooler, still featuring a standard Kassel winter skirt paired with leather boots, making her well-proportioned, long, and slender legs appear even longer.

It's like a phoenix wandering into a snowy landscape; adding a feather would make it plump, while losing a feather would make it slender.

"Yo, Xia Mi." Xu Lie raised his hand and greeted her familiarly, they seemed quite familiar with each other.

Although she usually spends her time in the preparatory class, Xia Mi goes back to Nibelungen every now and then to see Fenrir and warn 'Huang Tao' from time to time. Xu Lie often meets with her, so they can't be estranged.

"You came here specifically to see me?" Xia Mi raised her exquisitely beautiful face, her apple cheeks twitching slightly, revealing a mischievous smile: "Want to ask me out?"

Since learning that 'Huang Tao' had left and that her brother was safe, Xia Mi completely relaxed and began to revert to her quirky and mischievous personality.

"This Dragon King is a bit arrogant," Xu Lie thought to himself.

Of course, I couldn't say that out loud. I originally just wanted to stroll around the campus before heading to Nibelungen.

Now that I've met Xia Mi, it's not appropriate to just leave: "Come on, let me treat you to a meal. I've been saying this for so long, but I haven't been able to find an opportunity."

The matter of hosting a dinner party has been delayed for a very long time.

Back then, Xia Mi, for some unknown reason, brought a fifth-generation beast into the preparatory class, which led to her jumping off a building, and she even dragged Xu Lie down with her.

To express his gratitude, Xu Lie said he would treat everyone to a meal. Later, after parasitizing Fenrir, the clone wanted to make up for the promise made to the original body and give them the meal.

As a result, because the clone was willing to give Xia Mi a few alchemy books, he ended up being treated to a meal by Xia Mi, causing the originally planned matter to be delayed for longer and longer until now.

"Treat me to dinner? Let's go! I want a big meal!" Xia Mi was naturally happy to oblige, rubbing her hands together in a very unladylike manner, and smiling like a weasel that had just stolen a chicken.

"In this kind of weather, we should have a hot pot of mutton. I know a place that's really good. Let's go!"

Without any hesitation or politeness towards Xu Lie, she took the initiative to lead the way.

Xia Mi has been quite depressed these past few days. She had initially cultivated the image of an alchemical genius to save her brother, but now that he's alright, she's attracting attention among the mixed-bloods and facing constant trouble. This is completely contrary to her initial plan to remain inconspicuous.

After being depressed for so long, Xia Mi was naturally unwilling to miss the opportunity to have dinner with someone.

Only after leaving the Kassel preparatory school campus can one truly appreciate the enduring festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year.

As the Spring Festival approaches, red lanterns are set up at street stalls, and the air is filled with the aroma of roasted chestnuts and the crisp sound of firecrackers.

In the alley, every household has brand-new paper-cuts pasted on their windows and couplets pasted on their doors. Steam rises from the kitchen, carrying a rich aroma of meat.

But once you step onto the main street, the bustling atmosphere feels somewhat empty; the once busy main road is now bustling with traffic, yet buses can run smoothly without any obstruction.

Xia Mi led the charge, guiding Xu Lie onto a bus, chattering about the restaurant she had stumbled upon and how incredibly fresh and tender the mutton was.

Just talking about it made my mouth water. When we finally arrived at the place, Xia Mi sat down casually, but only asked for half a catty of mutton.

Xu Lie laughed: "Pfft, there's no need to save money for me. I've been helping the school lately and have received some compensation. It's enough to treat you to a meal."

"Besides, the original intention of this meal was to thank you for saving my life when you took me off the building. My life can't be worth less than half a pound of mutton, can it?"

Xia Mi irritably pried open the disposable chopsticks, whittled them back and forth to remove the burrs at the ends, and handed them to Xu Lie: "What do you know? You can't just waste money. It's better to save it for when it's really needed."

"Besides, half a pound is enough for two people. If it's too much, we can add side dishes. Oh, their tofu is good. After soaking up the soup, take a bite and your mouth will be full of hot soup in the middle of winter. Tsk tsk."

What international joke are you making?
Xu Lie had shared his memories with his clone 'Huang Tao' and knew that 'Huang Tao' was raising Samson, and that this old Tang's dragon servant ate several cows every day and would also hunt at the bottom of the river.

Old Tang was the same; he needed to eat ten or so pounds of meat at every meal to feel even slightly full. But for you, Xia Mi, as a fellow Dragon King, half a pound was enough.

However, while I was in prison with Fenrir, I heard Fenrir talk about Xia Mi's dark history. It seems that he really did say that among the eight dragon kings, Xia Mi had the smallest appetite and ate the least.

No wonder he was jokingly called the weakest of the eight princes, as his appetite was inferior to that of his brothers and sisters from the start.

“I know you’re trying to save me money.” Xu Lie first pointed to himself, then gestured towards Xia Mi, and lowered his voice: “But we’re both mixed-race.”

"Half a pound isn't enough, is it? I'll go add some more."

"Glug." Smelling the aroma wafting from the boiling copper pot in front of her, Xia Mi's throat bobbed noticeably: "Okay, alright."

"Add just a little bit, one pound is enough."

"I'll go make you some dipping sauce so you can try my secret recipe." With that, Xia Mi swayed her ponytail and ran off to make the sauce.

Xu Lie had no chance of listening to her. He added several more kilograms and also negotiated with the owner to continue serving the food once they were almost finished, without needing to ask again.

The boss readily agreed, and served two plates of meat. The two ate and chatted. Seeing how happy Xia Mi was eating, he looked more and more like a young girl than a dragon king.

Xu Lie suddenly remembered the question of divinity that he had discussed with Bao Lie before.

In that case, wouldn't the Dragon King be almost the same?
Take Dragon Kings like Lao Tang and Xia Mi, who have transformed into humans, for example. Their humanity is very rich, and they don't even show much of the divinity that should have been born after they gained power.

After a few seconds of contemplation, Xu Lie pretended to appreciate the festive atmosphere of the New Year celebrations in the streets and alleys: "Xia Mi, do you think dragons also celebrate the New Year?"

"Even dragons probably long for family reunions, right?"

Upon hearing the first part of the question, Xia Mi, who was chewing mutton, naturally nodded in agreement. However, upon hearing the second part of the question, Xia Mi almost choked on her mutton.

Xia Mi naturally hoped that she could spend the New Year with her brother Fenrir, rather than leaving him alone in the cold, dark underground Nibelungen.

Xia Mi was particularly resistant to the second half of Xu Lie's question, as she didn't like the idea of ​​a family reunion.
