The chat group admin really knows when to take action.

Lu Mingfei led everyone directly to the barbecue stall.

Unfortunately, I'm short on money and can't afford a fancy meal.

Old Tang didn't care.

He was already very happy to have friends come to welcome him home.

Grilled skewers and a small beer – pure bliss!

Mai Shude had been observing Lao Tang, and she discovered that the so-called Dragon King was very different from what she had imagined.

Even if he has forgotten his memories of his time as the Dragon King, he should still possess the talents of the Dragon King.

At least the kind of guy who gives a wicked smile and then a bunch of girls throw themselves at him.

In the end, he was just an ordinary person.

Night is approaching.

The group arrived at the Yangtze River, where there was a fence and danger signs posted nearby.

Lu Mingfei leaned against the railing, seemingly unconcerned.

There were only a few people around.

Old Tang seemed to sense that Lu Mingfei had something on his mind and spoke up.

"Old Lu! If there's anything on your mind, just say it."

Lu Mingfei looked at the myriad lights in the distance.

"Old Tang! Do you believe in dragons?"

After much deliberation, Lu Mingfei decided to lay his cards on the table, since the group admin was there anyway.

Old Tang was stunned, not understanding why Lu Mingfei would ask such a question.

"Is it the kind of dragon with wings that breathes fire, flies around, and kidnaps princesses?"

Lu Mingfei nodded after a moment of silence.

"Dragons come in many forms, but it is undeniable that in the minds of most people in the West, dragons are like this, and at the same time, they are a symbol of evil."

Old Tang chuckled.

"There are no dragons in this world, Lao Lu. You've been reading too many novels!"

Chapter 94, Confession

Old Tang had a look on his face that said, "You're kidding me."

Lu Mingfei looked up at the sky. Even a loser like him wanted a happy life. He thought about the future described in the novel, sitting alone on the throne, his friends dying one by one, and he was powerless to do anything about it.

"Sometimes I think, wouldn't it be better if we just let the group leader have fun and kill all the dragons in the world, and extract all the dragon blood from all the hybrids?"

"But even so, the war between humans and dragons will only become a war between humans. The conflict will not disappear, but will only shift."

"So I've decided that I don't care about the war between others and dragons, or the responsibility of saving the world. I only want to save the people I care about. What do I care about the lives of others? I don't care about the frost on other people's roofs, I only care about the snow in front of my own door. That's the way to live the most carefree life."

Lu Mingfei poured out all the frustration he had been feeling.

Sometimes, not knowing the tragic future might lead to a happier one.

Old Tang took a sip of beer.

"don't know?"

Lu Mingfei sighed, then turned around and said to Lao Tang very solemnly.

"Old Tang, what would you do if one day I told you that you're not actually human, but the Dragon King?"

"Hahaha!!!"

Old Tang clutched his stomach and laughed heartily.

"Old Lu, your ability to fool people is too poor. Can't you come up with a better reason? I'm not human, I'm the Dragon King, hahaha, you're too funny!"

Lu Mingfei shook his head helplessly.

"If I could, I wouldn't want you to be the Dragon King, but loneliness attracts loneliness, and monsters find monsters."

Old Tang seemed to have laughed enough, then looked at the rolling Yangtze River.

The sound of water hitting the rocks was deafening.

The closer you get, the more you'll discover the wonders of nature.

"If I am the Dragon King, then what are you?"

Old Tang said casually.

Lu Mingfei slowly uttered two words.

"A monster! A monster capable of killing the Dragon King."

"Hahaha!!"

Old Tang felt that Lu Mingfei was unusually fond of joking today.

Lu Mingfei remained silent, preparing to prove himself with his actions.

"Old Tang! Do you want to spread your wings and fly?"

Old Tang: "???"

Lu Mingfei lifted Lao Tang directly into the air.

Beneath his feet was a mortal martial arts flying sword.

Once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, you can fly for extended periods.

In the world of cultivation, those who can fly will never run.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Lu Mingfei held onto Lao Tang tightly, and then they rushed into the clouds.

In the clouds.

Old Tang clung to Lu Mingfei like an octopus.

"Damn it, Lao Lu, when did you become Superman?! I'm afraid of heights!"

Lu Mingfei stood on the flying sword, looking down at the myriad lights of the city below.

"Now you believe me, Old Tang!"

"I believe you, I believe you! Put me down now!"

Old Tang was trembling all over; it had been over a thousand meters.

Falling down there really will kill you.

Lu Mingfei nodded, then slowly descended from the sky.

Stepping onto solid ground once again, Old Tang had never felt the ground so safe.

Lu Mingfei waited quietly, waiting for Lao Tang to recover.

Old Tang's legs were still shaking a little after coming down from a height of 1,000 meters.

"Old Lu! Even if you want to show off your abilities, can you at least give me a heads-up beforehand? I can't handle it!"

Perhaps because Old Tang was the Dragon King, he quickly accepted this thing that was beyond the comprehension of normal people.

Then came silence.

The two of them drank their beer in silence.

In the distance, Jiu De Mai and Jiang Nan walked over carrying small spicy strips.

Beer with spicy snacks must be really satisfying.

"Hey, has Mingfei finished speaking?"

Jiang Nan waved his hand and spoke.

Lu Mingfei nodded; friends' problems should be solved by friends.

Jiang Nan's methods are all somewhat violent.

……

……

After his worldview was reshaped, Lao Tang accepted his identity as the Dragon King, but his memories did not resurface.

He is still Old Tang.

"Old Lu, you're not going to do this to me, are you?!"

Lu Mingfei shook his head and then nodded.

"I'll only mess with Norton, not Old Tang!"

Lu Mingfei believed he couldn't mediate the conflict between the Dragon King and humans.

"So what's next?"

Old Tang asked.

“Let’s go to Bronze City! The Dragon King’s memories will awaken sooner or later. Rather than being manipulated and pushed onto the stage by others, we should take the initiative to stand on the stage and control our own destiny.”

Lu Mingfei knew that his destiny had begun.

To reclaim one's destiny amidst the various factions, one must be strong enough.

Influence is also a part of power.

"I have a feeling that I've fallen into some kind of pit."

Old Tang scratched his head and downed his beer in one gulp.
