A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 252 You want Xia Mi to call you Dad?
Since Xu Lie began taking the medication without telling his mentor, his digestion progress has been quite impressive.

On the one hand, it is because they had previously woven many lies, such as the origin of the old church. The more the old church expanded, the more people they deceived, and the more they could digest the deception of the mentor.
On the other hand, it was also because Zhou Minping had deceived Xia Mi, the Dragon King, and with the help of a high-ranking official, his digestion was naturally faster.

Originally, I was told by my mentor that the potion would take some time to fully digest, but now it's suddenly done. Without a doubt, there must be a sucker who's been helping me out.

"Who exactly is it?" Actually, it's not hard to guess. There are only a handful of high-ranking beings in the Dragon Clan world.

Norton and Xia Mi were ruled out first, and Fenrir was definitely not one either. He and Xia Mi agreed to visit Fenrir tonight and take him to the ground to be cared for by the Zhou and Bai families and the old church.

Before this, his subordinates could never see Fenrir, let alone deceive him.

Norton's brother Constantine hasn't officially revived yet, so that leaves only Odin and Lu Mingze.
Whoever it was, after the Battle of the Capital, would surely have secretly investigated the old church, only to be deceived by the temple keeper below.
Thinking of this, Xu Lie couldn't help but laugh out loud. This outcome truly pleased him.

Carrying the chicken essence he had bought back to Xia Mi's house, his cheerful expression made Xia Mi raise an eyebrow.

Could it be that Xu Lie... really enjoys living with her?

Otherwise, there's no way to explain why Xu Lie is so happy.

Perhaps it was the heat of the flames while cooking, but Xia Mi blushed, hummed a tune, and prepared a table full of delicious dishes.

After no longer concealing her identity, Xia Mi stopped pretending. When eating, her stomach seemed like a bottomless pit. Judging from her insatiable gluttonous manner, she could easily devour the entire table of dishes by herself.

However, because Xu Lie was still there, Xia Mi suddenly became ladylike after eating half of her meal. She chewed slowly for a couple of bites and then said, "I'm full."

Xu Lie was almost bursting with laughter when he saw this: "Alright, alright, how can the mighty King of the Earth and Mountains only eat such a small amount?"

"Do you think I've never seen Fenrir eat?"

"I'm not a big eater like my brother!" Xia Mi insisted stubbornly. "And stop buying him potato chips and cola all the time!"

“You’ve really increased his appetite; he never used to eat this much.”

"..." Xu Lie was amazed by Xia Mi's shamelessness. Just think about Fenrir's huge dragon body. After it was fully restored, it was a full eighty meters long. It was only a few bags of potato chips and cola. Fenrir used to eat that much.
How could Xia Mi's seemingly warm mouth utter such cold words?
"I think you've been starving your brother all these years, haven't you? Go and bring Fenrir out tonight and give him a good meal."

Xia Mi was already unhappy. What was she saying? She was being talked about as if she were a wicked younger sister deliberately starving her own brother: "You wash these dishes!"

"You're making me sound like one of those wicked stepmothers in movies and TV shows, saying I've been starving my brother and there's nothing I can do but bring so much food to Nibelungen."

"Washing the dishes is no problem, but you should eat more." Under Xu Lie's persuasion, Xia Mi had no choice but to reluctantly finish the entire table of food.

Xu Lie, thinking about upholding humanity, tried not to wash the dishes by hand, ignoring the greasy feel of the plates. He washed three plates with dish soap, but then he got lazy.

Well, laziness is a part of human nature, and it needs to be maintained. Steal all the grease and kitchen waste, and wash all the dishes instantly. It's so convenient.

Xia Mi had already turned on the TV and was happily watching the show, while Xu Lie said he had to go out for a while to make arrangements for Fenrir.

This guy really cares about his brother. Thinking this, Xia Mi waved her hand, signaling him to hurry up.

Xu Lie stepped out of the door and instantly arrived at the rooftop of a building. Upon reaching the Yuanbao Fortress, he saw Bao Lie lying on a long bronze table.

"Why are you here, Main Body?" Bao Lie flipped up from the long table, chuckling awkwardly, "I'm so bored, I'm just lying down."

"Do as you please." Ever since Xu Lie experienced the Fenrir parasitic incident, he deeply understands how unpleasant it is to be in prison.

After that, the clones located in the nine source materials could do whatever they wanted during their rest time, as long as they didn't mess things up when it came to important matters.

Let them relax a bit; we can't really let our own clones go crazy from being in jail, can we?

Xu Lie strolled to the edge of the enormous palace, beckoned to the historical gap beneath the gray mist, and the gray mist condensed into a giant hand, scooping up an adorable little Hound of Fortune.

As soon as Little Fugen arrived, the black flames that replaced his eyeballs grew stronger, and he happily inhaled and exhaled the gray mist around him, his tail almost turning into a propeller, constantly rubbing his little head against Xu Lie's ankle.

Xu Lie smiled, bent down, picked it up, held it in his arms, and casually stroked it. It must be said, the fur of the young Fugen dog was particularly soft to the touch.

It's really satisfying to masturbate.

At this moment, Bao Lie also stepped down from the bronze table and walked to Xu Lie's side, looking down at the spirit realm with him: "Why did you come early? It's not time yet."

Today was the usual gathering time, but Xu Lie arrived earlier than usual.

"Let me arrange the next task for you," Xu Lie replied while petting the dog. "Do you remember the advancement ceremony for Sequence 2, the Trojan Horse of Destiny?"

Bao Lie didn't have amnesia, so of course he remembered: "A very troublesome ceremony."

"By using methods such as disguise and deception that do not involve supernatural powers, one becomes another being and gains their trust until that identity dies naturally." "The higher the rank of the target being impersonated or disguised, the shorter the time required for the ritual to be maintained. The shortest time required is only six months, and natural death is not required for the ritual to be considered successful."

"But you've fully digested it? That makes sense. The clone of Parasitic Renata was just praying, and I projected a gray mist over it. I guess Lu Mingze was tricked."

It turned out that Lu Mingze was the one who had been helping out quietly.

Xu Lie nodded, not dwelling on Lu Mingze's topic, and revealed his own thoughts on the promotion ceremony: "I plan to replace the Black King in the Destiny Horse promotion ceremony."

"?" Bao Lie was stunned. Even as a clone of the main body, Bao Lie couldn't keep up with the main body's quick thinking at this moment.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Bao Lie seemed to have caught up with the original's thought process and asked cautiously and tentatively, "You want Xia Mi to call you Dad?"

At the same time, Bao Lie's gaze became very strange, with an expression that said, "I never expected you to be so cunning, my true self."

"..." Xu Lie stopped petting the dog and turned his head in disbelief, staring at Bao Lie for a long time.

It seems they're planning to lift up Fort's skull and see if the Time Worm inside has mutated or gone out of control.

Otherwise, how could a clone in its normal state arrive at such an absurd conclusion?

Xu Lie bent down again and put Fugeng's dog down, letting it run back and forth around him and Bao Lie: "Something's wrong with you."

"No, no, no." Bao Lie shook his head hurriedly, sensing danger, and quickly wrapped his arms around his head: "I think something's wrong with you."

"Where are we going to find Black King? They're actually thinking of replacing him?"

"Why do we have to go looking for it?" Xu Lie casually picked up a small ball of gray mist and fed it to the Fugen Hound's mouth like a rice ball, watching the little dog happily inhale the gray mist and then spit it out: "Can't we just fake it ourselves?"

"Forgery?" Bao Lie muttered a few times, gradually realizing that he had truly misunderstood the original: "You mean, forgery of the Black King's egg and hatchery?"

"Then release the news to make all the mixed-race people in the world believe it? To complete the advancement ceremony in this way?"

That's more like it. Xu Lie nodded with satisfaction. What kind of bizarre thought process was it to make Xia Mi call him "Dad"?

Wouldn't Black King be a perfect fit?

According to the requirements of the promotion ceremony, the higher the rank of the replacement target, the better the ceremony and the shorter the time required. With the Black King's rank, it can be completed in as little as half a year.

When Fortress saw that the Hound of Fugen had finished inhaling, she also helped to replenish a small cloud of gray mist: "Wait, but the ritual requires that it cannot involve supernatural powers."

"Then how will you forge it? If you use extraordinary abilities, it won't meet the requirements of the ritual; if you don't use extraordinary abilities, you can't forge it. Isn't that a contradiction?"

Xu Lie had a clever plan: "That's why I'm informing you in advance. You can make the arrangements. There are so many members in the church, plus Old Tang and Xia Mi. Can't we bring them all in to help?"

"Just because I don't use my abilities doesn't mean they don't. How can they not exploit loopholes if they choose the path of thieves?"

"Let them cooperate and try to create an incubator for a fake Black King. As long as they gain enough trust, I can stay inside, serve another six months in prison, and complete my promotion."

At this point, Xu Lie's face fell: "Going to jail again, what a hassle."

Bao Lie empathized, having also suffered greatly in prison and so bored that he lay down on the bronze table: "Who can argue with that? Prison is really annoying."

"By the way, the ceremony is all arranged, but what about the main ingredients for the potion? Once you reach Sequence 2, the main ingredients for the potion must be of Dragon King rank."

Xu Lie had already identified the target: "Simple, isn't there an ancient dragon embryo in Takamagahara, which lies beneath the sea at the bottom of Japan?"

After being reminded by his original self, Bao Lie also recalled the content of the original Dragon Raja novel he had read in his previous life: "That seems to be the egg of the black snake in Black Swan Harbor?"

"The Dragon King in the Greenland ice sea incident, and that black snake, are the twins of the king of the ocean and the king of water."

"The ancient dragon embryo in the underwater Takamagahara is the egg of that black serpent, the king of the ocean and water?"

“You got it right.” Xu Lie turned and strolled through the bronze palace, with the Fugenhound obediently following behind him, step by step.

Xu Lie walked to the wrong seat, squatted down, and patted the dog's head, saying, "Let's go back first."

The dog of Fugen obediently nodded its little head and quickly returned to the gap in history.

Fortie returned to the Fool's seat; it was almost time to gather people for the party.
