In another world, Lu Mingfei is learning card making.

"Alright then, Louisa, do you want to go to another world for training?" Lu Mingfei cleared his throat and sat up straight. "If you don't want to, that's fine too. Like the spirit in the pot, she doesn't want to go. If she doesn't want to go, she can stay by my side."

"Anyway, I will definitely give you a full upgrade later. If you don't want to undergo training, it just means your strength will improve more slowly."

Louisa's eyes suddenly lit up:

"Another world?"

"Uh...yes." Lu Mingfei nodded. "It is indeed another world, at least according to the descriptions. My previous experience confirms that it is another world...So, do you want to go?"

"Yes," Louisa nodded vigorously. But immediately afterward, she asked another question:

How does the flow of time differ between this other world and the world we currently inhabit?

Lu Mingfei frowned sharply; he truly knew nothing about this.

To date, he has only made one attempt, namely the one involving the spirit of the pot, which can be considered an isolated case. As is well known, isolated cases cannot be used as credible evidence—so when it comes to the flow of time, this indeed hits a blind spot for him.

"Well, let me conduct a feasibility study first..." Louisa squeezed Lu Mingfei's hand tightly, "Let's test its time flow rate problem."

Lu Mingfei pondered for a moment, then nodded and cast Louisiana into the Mirror of Eternity. The next moment, she stepped out of the Mirror of Eternity and surveyed her surroundings—

"How much time has passed now?"

"Uh... just for a moment?" Lu Mingfei blinked. "Actually, you just entered the Mirror of Eternity and then came out right afterward."

"I spent about an hour in another world," Louisa said after a moment's thought. "Then, please put me back in there."

Lu Mingfei had no objection to this; he simply raised his hand and summoned Louisiana back into the Mirror of Eternity.

This time, however, Lu Mingfei waited and waited, but Louisa did not return. He could only use the Sorting Card to set a timer and begin analyzing another card he had just created:

"call!"

The dragon servant strode confidently out of the magic card, naturally kneeling down in what should be called a "dogeza" (a traditional Japanese kneeling gesture). Her figure was slender like a young girl's, yet possessed a certain necessary fullness in certain areas—

Especially the two flattened mounds on his chest and back, which couldn't be concealed by their curves, made Lu Mingfei's face instantly turn as if it were burning.

"Get up! Get up now!" Lu Mingfei immediately jumped off the bed and pulled the kneeling Long Shi up—of course, he didn't pull him up; Long Shi noticed Lu Mingfei's movement and stood up on his own, following his force.

Lu Mingfei looked at her, and after a moment's thought, decided to ask her one thing first:

"Do you...have a name?"

The dragon attendant bowed, performing a strange gesture, and respectfully replied:

"My name is Jing Shu."

"Okay, sure—Jing Shu, could you put some clothes on?" Lu Mingfei originally wanted to get straight to business, but Jing Shu's naked, exposed curves kept making his mind wander—

Although there was no nudity, or rather, her entire body was covered in a layer of scales, with all her skin hidden beneath the stratum corneum, even just looking at her figure, Lu Mingfei felt that he was about to lose control.

Jing Shu nodded, raised her hands, and spun around. The scales on her body peeled off, then reassembled in mid-air, transforming into light gauze, silk, ribbons, and clothing, which then returned to her body.

Just as her hair was about to flutter in the wind, it was bound back up by a hairpin made of scales. Only when she finally stopped spinning did Lu Mingfei take in her exquisite face—

Three weeks ago, Lu Mingfei would have said that this was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen; but now, he would still say that this is the most beautiful girl he has ever seen.

Even though he had met so many people—the spirit of the pot, Jessica, Johnny, and that unknown senior who was called "Auntie"—Lu Mingfei still thought she was the most beautiful.

Her eyebrows and eyes were slender and long like willow leaves, with a faint trace of dragon scales beneath her eyes, like a beauty mark in a classical painting. Her face was extremely small, a classic "oval face," and Lu Mingfei tentatively reached out to touch it—

She gently rubbed against Lu Mingfei's palm, just like a fox.

Lu Mingfei pondered for a moment, then asked, "Jing Shu, you can use Word of Power now, right?"

Jing Shu cupped Lu Mingfei's palm and gently rubbed her chin against his fingers twice. Lu Mingfei interpreted this as an affirmation.

"Could I take a look?"

"What would you like to see, my lord?" Jing Shu had already 'controlled' Lu Mingfei's hand, manipulating it to touch her head. The smooth, silky hair flowed through Lu Mingfei's fingertips, making him rub his fingers together involuntarily.

"Hmm... what kind of incantations do you have at your disposal?"

"In fact, as a dragon, I can use all the Words of Power." Jing Shu didn't resist Lu Mingfei's 'playing' at all, and even cooperated quite well by making a soft humming sound like a cat being rubbed. "However, considering the 'development stage,' I can't control the range of high-risk Words of Power, so I can only use lower-level Words of Power to demonstrate to you..."

"Then just do one," Lu Mingfei said, pulling his hand away and staring intently at Jing Shu with anticipation. "Let me see if I can learn it."

"...Master, I must remind you," Jing Shu sighed helplessly, "In actual combat, Words of Power are not very useful—"

"Because dragons often possess 'commandments,' which is equivalent to their incantations being sealed. Even if a lower-ranking dragon attacks a higher-ranking dragon, they can still interfere with the effect through the clash of their incantations..."

"Therefore, battles among us dragons are primarily close-quarters combat. The only time the power of words can truly be effective is when we crush the weak—but what improvement can crushing the weak bring?"

Lu Mingfei nodded. This was the first time he had come across a battle between "extraordinary races"—especially considering that Jing Shu was created using the uncompressed part of his bloodline template. It was very likely that this was the way extraordinary races on Earth fought.

But this is a civil war between extraordinary races, not a battle with other extraordinary forces.

At least at St. Marian Academy, there is no such thing as "blocking the power of words".

By learning the power of words, he can at least gain an advantage in the battles here, and even save his life in some extreme situations!

"...Your will." Seeing Lu Mingfei's insistence, Jing Shu could only nod in agreement. She gently opened her mouth, uttering a sound like an aria:

"Word of Power: Kamaitachi!"

Before Lu Mingfei's eyes, a transparent wind gathered.

Lu Mingfei reached out, trying to interfere, but as soon as he made a move, Jing Shu immediately followed:

She bent down, lowered her head, and used her lips to search for Lu Mingfei's fingertips.
