To this day, Lu Mingfei has kept it inside his food pouch and hasn't released it. Although it's publicly stated that Ma Xianhong is dead, some people have deduced from various details that this matter is related to Lu Mingfei to some extent.

"Fine." Lu Mingfei knew that having Ma Xianhong in his hands was not a solution.

He will leave here in a while and return to his own world. Will Ma Xianhong go back with him?

Given Old Ma's personality, he would probably expel all the unstable factors like mixed-race people who disrupt society.

"Brother Qi," Lu Mingfei greeted Qi Xing.

"Brother Lu, what's the matter?"

"Tell Chairman Zhao to be prepared. I have something to discuss with him when I get back." Lu Mingfei turned and left.

As he boarded the soon-to-close bus and sat next to Liu Yanyan, he slowly moved his hand across the seat, first jumping from his thigh to her leg, then to her hand, and gently scratched her.

"Even when you're angry, you're adorable, absolutely adorable. You're responsible for being adorable, and I'm responsible for being 'deadly'."

"You're being cheeky. I'll bite you to death when I get back." Liu Yanyan shoved Lu Mingfei's hand into her mouth and bit it hard, leaving two rows of teeth marks.

"It's a deal, you can bite, but you can't bite randomly." Lu Mingfei let the girl nibble on the back of his hand.

"Leave me alone?"

Lu Mingfei crossed his other arm in front of his chest and emphasized, "You absolutely can't bite randomly!"

......

The two finally returned to their small home in Kyoto.

Liu Yanyan opened the small box her father had given her. Inside were two gleaming gold rings engraved with the words "May you have a long and happy marriage."

She took out a smaller one and put it on her slender finger, turned her palm over, and came to Lu Mingfei to show it off.

"How is it? Does it look good?"

"They're a perfect match! Let me try that on." Lu Mingfei looked at Liu Yanyan longingly.

"No way, I'll give it to you when we get engaged. I'll let you see it now." Liu Yanyan put the ring back and carefully placed it in a safe box.

The two lay on the bed. Liu Yanyan was analyzing Ma Xianhong's "Ru Hua" series on her tablet, while Lu Mingfei shifted his body and head, resting his head on the girl's stomach.

......

"What are you doing?" Lu Mingfei shifted uncomfortably.

"This is called reciprocity."

Lu Mingfei couldn't refute it. A strange feeling made him close his eyes tightly, then he opened them, turned over, and pressed down on Liu Yanyan's hand.

......

The next day.

Lu Mingfei released Ma Xianhong from the food bag in the living room.

Ma Xianhong, with a dent in his forehead, still showed no signs of waking up. Sadako's test results were normal, but she just refused to wake up, seemingly because she had suffered a blow.

He knew that he had to hand over Ma Xianhong today.

The people who attacked Ma Xianhong's convoy originally wanted to take Ma Xianhong away, but they encountered the powerful Sadako, and their plan failed.

"Old Ma, why won't you wake up? If you wake up, just say something and go negotiate with Chairman Zhao. As for whether you go into the bunker or whatever, that's your choice."

“If you don’t wake up, I’ll have to hand you over to Chairman Zhao. If I take you back to your ‘hometown’ and you wake up, there will definitely be more trouble. And if I don’t hand you over to them, they will send people to keep an eye on me. At first, it was fine because I didn’t go out. But once I went out for a while, I got annoyed.”

"Yan Yan will also become insecure. I don't expect you to forgive me. I'm just doing what I think is the best solution."

Lu Mingfei put Ma Xianhong back into the Devouring Pouch.

Once outside, call Qi Xing and Sheng Nan, and head to Chairman Zhao's office.

"Mingfei is here. Please have a seat. How far have things progressed between you and Yan Yan?" Chairman Zhao asked with concern.

"I've already met her parents. Her dad almost broke my legs. We'll get engaged as long as Yan Yan saves up enough dowry," Lu Mingfei explained simply.

"Okay, I'll definitely be there to support you on your wedding day," Chairman Zhao said with a polite smile.

“Chairman Zhao, I won’t beat around the bush with you. I can’t leave Ma Xianhong to Yan Yan, and I can’t keep taking him with me forever, so I’m handing him over to you.”

Lu Mingfei added, "Also, I will be leaving for a while, so please take care of Yan Yan during that time."

"Yes, the safety of the company's key technical personnel is a concern. She's a very good young woman, and perhaps she can be promoted in the future. After all, we are all from the older generation, and there's a generation gap between us. Fresh blood will eventually be injected, and I will train her well," Chairman Zhao replied.

Lu Mingfei understood that Chairman Zhao was clearly giving him a general direction, which was essentially a pie-in-the-sky promise—a promise that Yan Yan could become a board member.

He wasn't sure if Chairman Zhao would actually mentor Yan Yan; as long as he could be sure of her safety, that was enough.

"I'll be visiting Uncle Liu during the Chinese New Year, but I'm not sure what to bring. Does Chairman Zhao have any recommendations?"

"Hahaha... I'll also have someone keep an eye on your father-in-law. He can move into the family compound if he wants." Chairman Zhao didn't beat around the bush with Lu Mingfei and stated it directly.

"Thank you for your kindness, Chairman Zhao." Lu Mingfei took out the food pouch and placed it in front of Chairman Zhao.

“Ma Xianhong is inside, and he hasn’t woken up yet; it’s been many days.”

"I understand."

After putting down the food pouch, Lu Mingfei said goodbye and left.

Qi Xing and Sheng Nan were about to follow Lu Mingfei when they were stopped by Chairman Zhao.

"There's no need for that. You should rest for a while."

"Understood," they both replied in unison.

Qi Xing glanced at the time. "Sheng Nan, I know a good restaurant. Want to try it?"

"Give it a try."

After everyone left, the other board members came to the office.

Bi Youlong and Huang Bairen sat next to Zhao Fangxu.

"Why let him leave? Investigate him thoroughly. He's a rich resource, a resource that could trigger a world war. He's far more important than Ma Xianhong, the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, or the Old Celestial Master!"

Zhao Fangxu pushed up his glowing glasses and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Some things may not weigh four ounces on the scale, but they can weigh a thousand pounds on it!"

"In places where genes have mutated, even if resources are abundant, without the strength to compete, one will only be the prey of others. Stop everything about it. Don't investigate, don't look, don't think."

“What doesn’t belong to us, we can’t have. He has shown enough friendliness and goodwill; let’s not disrupt this delicate balance.”

"In the end, all his files were classified as top secret, and no one was allowed to view them alone!"

Chairman Zhao casually handed the food-eating pouch given to him by Lu Mingfei to the person next to him.

You Xu family people really know how to pick people – a silly, ageless girl and a strong boy who's obsessed with love.

......

The time for the dimensional gate is drawing ever closer.

Lu Mingfei thoroughly enjoyed the next few days.

Lying in the gentle embrace of the young girl, he opened his eyes to the fragrance every day, and changed into different clothes each day: black stockings, white stockings, school swimsuits, and high school uniforms, giving Lu Mingfei a feast for the eyes.

Of course, he also worked very hard; youth is something that inevitably leads to exhaustion.

The dimensional gate's cooldown was finally complete. Lu Mingfei changed his clothes and kissed the girl on the face.

"I'm going back to my 'hometown,' so don't cry when you miss me," Lu Mingfei said to Liu Yanyan as he stood at the door.

Liu Yanyan didn't have time to put on her clothes. She lifted the blanket and hugged Lu Mingfei from behind, the two of them pressed tightly together.

"I won't cry. You must be careful. I'll wait for you to come back."

"Yes, you need to take good care of yourself too. Eat on time and don't stay up late..."

"I understand," Liu Yanyan interrupted Lu Mingfei's long-winded explanation.

Lu Mingfei wisely pushed open the dimensional gate.

A moment later, only a dejected Liu Yanyan remained in the room.

Chapter 204 We will all die!

Norton House.

A door flashed with a fleeting white light; the door was undamaged, and it simply clicked open slowly.

A boy walked out, looking as lost as a child who had lost his beloved toy. A heavy gloom enveloped him, clinging to him and refusing to leave.

The boy came to the Norton Pavilion under the crystal chandelier, plopped down on the leather sofa, and let himself slide off the sofa, half of his body landing on the hand-woven wool carpet.

He took out his phone and saw a smiling girl with orange-red hair. She was calmly looking at the camera, holding a rose in her hand and raising it slightly forward.

This smile lifted Lu Mingfei's gradually gloomy mood. She hadn't left yet. She put her phone into her pouch, took out another old-fashioned phone, and checked the recent messages.

The time I was away was indeed no more than a day, still just a few hours.

The messages on my phone were limited, but the place remained calm. The forum was still dominated by Finger. My senior brother with facial paralysis hadn't sent any messages, and there was no word from Lao Tang.

Even the news that the internet-addicted girl, Wa Zhu, often sought his "advice" on her technology has stopped.

No new messages came in on his phone, as if he were isolated from the whole world, and the world outside Norton House had nothing to do with him.

Lu Mingfei had never longed for tranquility as much as he did now; he was all alone in the empty Norton Hall.

He put his hands behind his head and crossed his legs on the sofa.

Reflect carefully on what you have gained this time.

The divine machine has been refined a hundred times, and there is also a living core and the blueprints for the third generation of the Body Cultivation Furnace.

The core of life is the most important foundation of the self-cultivation furnace, and also the most important thing that drives the self-cultivation furnace.

Without this core, the cultivation furnace would be unusable.

However, people with different bloodlines are completely different from hybrids. The cultivation furnace that is useful to people with different bloodlines may not be useful to hybrids. As for his own situation, it is very special and cannot be compared with other hybrids.

The cultivation furnace needs to be updated and iterated, but on this basis, he needs to design a method that can make the core effective against hybrids and even reincarnated dragons.

He turned over to look for the blueprints for the Body Cultivation Furnace, opened the Devouring Pouch, but didn't see them.

I remember looking at it for a while the night before I came back; I must have put it in my pocket.
