Dragon Raja: Back from Tiling, My Mother Lu Mingfei

The voice just fell.

That red dragon cub—

It's diarrhea.

A thin, yellow liquid gushed out from its tail and quickly formed a puddle at the bottom of the glass jar.

Huai Xu subconsciously took a step back.

No, there's a layer of glass between them, why is he retreating?

Guderian also took a step back.

Masashi Toyama also took a step back.

The three of them took a half step back at the same time and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Why... at this time..." Guderian hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

"It could be a stress response," Masafumi Tomiyama said, adjusting his glasses. "Many animals lose control of their sphincter muscles when under extreme fear."

"But it's a dragon."

"Dragons are animals too."

"Dragons are not animals! Dragons are—"

Guderian was speaking when the red dragon cub in the jar opened its eyes again.

It struggled desperately, trying to climb out of the liquid, but its limbs were still developing and it couldn't exert any strength. After struggling for a while, the nutrient solution in the jar was swallowed.

Then it stopped moving.

It has fallen into hibernation again.

but--

The sphincter muscles do not rest.

It's still pooping.

It was played very steadily, continuously, and rhythmically.

Guderian fell silent.

Masashi Toyama also fell silent.

There was a silence that lasted for about half a minute.

"Professor, I haven't seen this situation in the literature," Masafumi Tomiyama spoke first.

"I've never seen it either."

Guderian rubbed his temples. "Logically, a dragon cub's metabolism should be almost completely stopped during hibernation. It shouldn't... have this much waste."

"But it is indeed queuing."

"Yes, it is indeed in line."

The two of them looked at the red dragon cub at the same time.

It is currently in a delicate cycle of states: asleep → defecating → waking up → panting → choking on water → asleep → defecating → waking up → panting → choking on water → asleep...

"This cycle..." Masashi Tomiyama hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"It needs to be studied."

"Further research is needed."

"We need to apply to the college for special research funding."

"I'll write the report right away."

Masafumi Toyama took out his notebook and began recording the frequency, volume, and characteristics of the red dragon cubs' excretions, as well as the time relationship between excretion and awakening.

Guderian turned to look at Huai Xu and Lu Mingfei.

"You all come out with me first, leave this to Toyama."

He paused, then added, "According to the confidentiality agreement, what I saw today cannot be disclosed to anyone."

Lu Mingfei nodded frantically.

He wished he could erase everything he saw today from his mind.

The three people walked out of the laboratory and down the corridor.

The Kassel campus does look quite impressive.

You walk down the street and feel like you're not going to class, but to some medieval noble banquet.

Stone walls, cast-iron streetlights, buildings covered in vines, and a clock tower in the distance that chimes on the hour.

But it doesn't feel old-fashioned; it has all the modern amenities you'd expect: glass curtain walls, automatic doors, underfloor heating, and you can see B-2 bombers, rockets, UFOs, Free!, Ultraman Tiga, Kamen Rider... while walking down the street.

This is what a university should be like.

The mix of retro and modern styles actually looks pretty good.

Lu Mingfei nudged Huai Xu's arm.

"The Preface to the Locust Trees"

"Um."

"What...what exactly happened just now?"

"Didn't you see it all?"

"That's why I asked you!"

"That dragon...how did it...do that..."

"I pooped."

"Could you please not say those two words!"

"He has excreted."

"Could you please stop using such specific words!"

"It excretes metabolic waste from the body through the anus."

"Fine, just tell me about taking a dump."

Huai Xu thought for a moment, "There is only one possibility."

"What's possible?"

"You are a dragon too."

Lu Mingfei stopped in his tracks.

"What?"

"I said, you're a dragon too."

Huai Xu turned to look at him, "Moreover, you are far superior to that red dragon cub. That's why it was awakened by your domineering aura."

"A kingly... domineering aura?"

Huai Xu patted him on the shoulder. "Don't you think it's a coincidence? The red dragon woke up as soon as you walked over. What does that mean?"

Lu Mingfei shook his head.

"That means the red dragon was awakened by you."

"Did I wake you up?"

"Yes. The red dragon cub sensed your bloodline aura and was immediately startled and stressed."

"Stress... causes diarrhea..."

"Yes. I was terrified."

Lu Mingfei remained silent.

He looked down at his hands.

Thin, pale, with distinct knuckles.

It doesn't look like it could be related to dragons at all.

"So... I am... a dragon?"

Huai Xu nodded. "The dragon is an omen of emperors."

Lu Mingfei straightened his back unconsciously.

"In ancient times, Emperor Gaozu of Han used Leifeng Pagoda to separate the mandarin ducks and suppress the White Dragon Rebellion. He later became emperor and established the Han Dynasty."

"Now, Lu Mingfei has become emperor after scaring a red dragon cub so much that it lost control of its bladder."

Lu Mingfei straightened his back a little more.

"So... what you said seems to... make some sense?"

"Of course that makes sense. Think about it, could an ordinary person scare a dragon like that? No. Only a being of a higher level than a dragon could instill such instinctive fear in it."

"So what kind of dragon do you think I am? A real dragon?"

Huai Xu turned his head and looked at him earnestly.

"You are a milk dragon."

"What?"

"Milk Dragon. Milk of Milk Dragon, Dragon of Milk Dragon."

Lu Mingfei's expression froze. "Milk...Milk Dragon?"

"Yes. Do you know what a milk dragon is?"

"have no idea……"

"A milk dragon is a dragon that hasn't been weaned yet, or simply a milk dragon. Although your bloodline has awakened, you're still in your infancy and need to continue growing. The day you're weaned, you'll upgrade from a milk dragon to a true dragon."

"Oh..." Lu Mingfei nodded thoughtfully.

wrong.

Something feels off.

"Wait, you said I'm a milk dragon, then how do you explain how scared that red dragon was? How could a milk dragon scare a red dragon like that?"

Huai Xu thought for a moment, "Because you have the bloodline of the Dragon King. A milk dragon is also a milk dragon of the Dragon King, not an ordinary milk dragon."

"..."

Lu Mingfei felt that something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

After all, he was a high school student who had just graduated from high school but hadn't gone to university yet, so his understanding of dragons was basically zero.

Huai Xu's expression, tone of voice, and confident demeanor made it hard for anyone not to believe that he was telling the truth.

Although it sounds stupid, for some reason, Lu Mingfei felt a little... happy?

"The Preface to the Locust Trees"

"?"

"You said I'm a healer dragon, so shouldn't I do something that healer dragons are supposed to do?"

Huai Xu thought for a moment, "Yes, there is indeed one thing that only Milk Dragon can do."

"What is it?"

"Okay, come here, I'll teach you. You need to strike a few poses, and then say, 'I am the Milk Dragon! I am the Milk Dragon!'"

"Then start jumping. This will strengthen your resolve and accelerate the awakening of your bloodline!"
