A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 93: Separate Flights, Xia Mi Begins to Panic

As the setting sun cast its last rays, it illuminated the bustling city of Chicago, as if draping many of its buildings in a layer of orange-red gauze.

Traffic jams the streets as people leave work, groups of rappers linger in the air, and the interior of the financial building, a symbol of elites, remains brightly lit.

At Kassel College, in the Lionheart Society's unmonitored training grounds, Chu Zihang finished his workout and went out with his suitcase. Susie, who had been waiting outside, quickly followed him upon seeing him: "How's it going? Are you getting used to it?"

"Hmm." When this topic came up, even the usually indifferent Chu Zihang couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth by 0.1 centimeters: "The arsonist's abilities are stronger than I thought."

"His spirituality has been greatly enhanced, his sense of danger has been strengthened, he has mastered a variety of fire spells and fire manipulation abilities, and he can withstand high temperatures, making him a perfect fit for my tactical system."

Susie's eyes crinkled with laughter upon hearing this. She was even happier that Chu Zihang was more powerful than she was: "Then let's go to O'Hare International Airport."

"They said this afternoon that a big shot's private jet cut in line, causing our flight to be rescheduled. It should be just in time to go now."

"Professor Schneider has already arranged a helicopter for us so that we won't miss our flight due to traffic."

……

Compared to Chu Zihang and Susie, who were still at school, Fingel left much earlier and arrived at another midway airport in Chicago.

He also made a phone call to Principal Angers: "Principal, I have some personal matters to attend to these few days."

“I think Lu Mingfei is quite well-behaved. He’s preparing for the 3E exam peacefully. With you, Principal, on campus, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to leave for a few days.”

Angers also knew that it was impossible to keep Fingel by Lu Mingfei's side 24 hours a day; that was unrealistic.

Not to mention that Kassel is an academy, and as such, it is bound to have holidays. When Lu Mingfei goes home for the holidays, Angers has no choice but to have Fingel go with him to keep an eye on him.

"I know, sigh, old people tend to reminisce about the past and like old things. Fingel, how about you bring me a crispy shortbread cake when you go back to school?"

"Yes, yes, I understand." Fingel was also defeated by Angers; even taking a few days off meant being made to run errands.

We won't get much out of this old fox.

……

At Tokyo's Haneda Airport, a 16-member Sumitomo Foundation team chartered a plane to fly to the Imperial Capital for business cooperation.

The rest of the people were dressed as business professionals, but there was one overly young man, Makoto Aso, who stood out from the crowd and attracted a lot of attention.

Several Sumitomo employees in the group also had their own agendas, hoping to curry favor with this Miss Aso.

Rumors circulate that Aso is indeed the illegitimate daughter of a high-ranking official. She claims that this group trip is ostensibly for business, but it's actually just a vacation and a way to gain prestige, and she won't be involved in anything else.

This immediately excited several single employees. If they had the chance to win the favor of the young lady, wouldn't they be able to rise to the top in one step? Directly enter the upper echelons of the conglomerate?

In the past, when so many people were watching him, Aso might have felt guilty and worried.

Now that Aso Makoto has led his team to attack more than a dozen of the Demon Clan's strongholds, he has completely ignored the attention of passersby.

He's starting to look more and more like a bishop.

Moreover, she was accompanied by four bodyguards.

Seeing this, Taro Inuyama shifted his body slightly to block Makoto Aso, while simultaneously displaying an imposing presence that commanded respect.

Passersby were so frightened by what they saw that they looked away, not daring to look any longer. This bodyguard looked so fierce!
Because Inuyama Taro and his group of four were the first to join Aso Makoto and worked hard in subsequent missions, they were all given magic potions by Aso Makoto and promoted to Sequence 9 Arbitrators.

He possesses an extraordinary dignity that commands respect from ordinary people, and has also acquired formidable fighting abilities. Combined with his inherent hybrid nature, ordinary soldiers would probably be too intimidated to fire a shot at Inuyama Taro, losing all will to fight.

A Sumitomo employee was intimidated by Taro Inuyama's imposing manner and immediately lost all thoughts of currying favor with the young lady. Trembling with fear, he stepped forward to ask, "Private Marseille, Captain Inuyama, should we go to board the plane with the young lady?"

Taro Inuyama nodded to indicate that he understood, and then turned to Makoto Aso.

Aso Makoto waved his hand gently, indicating that they didn't need to worry: "I'll be fine, you can go back without worry."

……

After the members of the old church arrived in the capital by plane, they still needed to transfer to Yichang to go to the Three Gorges. At that time, our Dragon King, Jormungandr, returned to his lair the day before the start of the senior year of the preparatory class.

Xia Mi lay carefree and unladylike on an old-fashioned subway seat, crossing her legs and grumbling, "These brothers and sisters hid their eggs way too well."

"I can't find it at all!"

After grumbling for a while, the train finally took its local master to the final station. Xia Mi didn't even look at the Kamaitachi Queen, who was bowing her head with nine heads, and walked inside.

After walking a few steps, they heard Fenrir's voice.

"No, you can't say that about my sister. She's much smarter than me and knows so many things. She was only beaten by the other brothers because she was taking care of me."

"Of course she didn't cry. My sister is very strong."

"???" Xia Mi stopped in her tracks. What was her silly brother talking about in his sleep? Was he bringing up her embarrassing moments and her dark history?
That's impossible! Silly brother doesn't talk in his sleep, at most he'll call out "sister" a couple of times. That means... Xia Mi's speed increased dramatically, and she rushed to Fenrir's face in a few flashes.

Without Fenrir needing to say anything, just seeing the empty potato chip wrappers and empty cola cans scattered all over the ground, Xia Mi knew that someone had entered Nibelungen again!
That shouldn't be the case! She went to great lengths to change the way people enter and exit. Without her and her silly brother's shared mark, how could anyone still be entering and leaving this place?
"Sister!" Fenrir, completely unaware of Xia Mi's thoughts, shouted excitedly and tried to approach her, only to be slapped across the face by Xia Mi.

Fenrir's large head was slapped more than ten meters away, and its neck was whipped around in a strange arc. Fortunately, Fenrir was tough and came back to him: "Hehe, sister, you're back!"

"Is Huang Tao here again?" Xia Mi, who was originally happy to go home to see her brother, has lost her mood for laughter. Her face is gloomy and ugly, like a live volcano about to erupt.

The suspect was identified immediately.

After a semester of silence, everyone thought Huang Tao wouldn't come back. But during the summer vacation, while she was out looking for her sleeping brothers and sisters, she actually cracked the Nibelungen access code! And she came knocking again!
“Yes.” Fenrir never hid anything from Xia Mi: “I listened to my sister and kept him here; he’s in my mind.”

"?" Fenrir's words threw Xia Mi into disarray, and for the first time, she found herself unable to understand the meaning of her silly brother's words.

Xia Mi could understand the meaning of each word Fenrir said, but when they were put together, she couldn't understand them at all. What did he mean by "in your head"?
Even if you say that Xia Mi could understand Fenrir eating Huang Tao while she was still in your stomach, what kind of nonsense is that?

Fenrir recounted happily, with the expression of an obedient child expecting praise from an elder: "Huang Tao has a secret technique that allows him to live inside my head to heal injuries."

"Thus, I fulfilled my sister's request and kept him here."

"You son of a bitch!" Xia Mi immediately reached out and placed her hand on Fenrir's huge head: "Silly brother! Relax your guard, don't resist!"

Xia Mi felt a panic she had never felt before.

This is the only brother she has relied on for survival for thousands of years. Even if he is foolish or stupid, he is the only relative who can give her warmth in all the reincarnations and endless darkness.

How dare he? How dare Huang Tao lay a hand on Fenrir!
The Dragon King's majesty erupted completely, its terrifying power causing many Kamaitachi inside the tunnel to fall to the ground, too afraid to get up.

At this moment, Xia Mi stirred up her own Dragon King soul and forcibly connected with Fenrir's soul through physical contact.

At the soul level, they discovered that a transparent and illusory figure was wrapped around their silly older brother's vast yet blurry soul!
