Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei's Dimensional Gate

Chapter 233 Attack

Reigen Arataka took out a chocolate from his pocket and glanced at the three people who had just come out of the strange cave.

Mob emerged from the cave with a blank expression, as if bringing the two out of the cave was a trivial matter.

Whether it was his imagination or not, when he saw Lu Mingfei again, he felt that Lu Mingfei was much more energetic and full of vitality, giving people a sense of vigor, as if he was on vacation in a cave where time had passed in a rather strange way.

In contrast, the blonde girl next to him was in poor condition. He remembered that the missing girl's name was Asamizu, and she was of mixed race. Her pale face was probably due to long-term hunger. It was surprising that she was only slightly pale after being missing for so long.

Reigen Arataka sighed inwardly: Have the physical constitutions of these young people become this exaggerated?

He shared the chocolates with Lu Mingfei and Chaoshui.

"Thank you." Asamizu took the chocolate and tore open the packaging without saying a word, stuffing it into her mouth. She chewed the chocolate in the blink of an eye, and the way she swallowed it whole made Reigen Arataka frown.

He pulled another bag of chocolates from his pocket and asked, "Want some more?"

Before Asami could even savor the smoothness and sweetness of the chocolate, it was already filling her empty stomach.

The slight feeling of fullness made the ravenous Chao Shui breathe a sigh of relief, and a touch of rosy color returned to her pale face. The happiness of being able to taste sweets again made her forget some of the terrifying experience she had just gone through.

"No need." Asami walked with her long, slender legs, which were gradually regaining their strength, toward the boy who was heading straight for her.

When Shen Ping saw the girl who had experienced life and death appear before him again, he immediately quickened his pace.

The boy and girl collided head-on. The weak Shen Ping staggered a few steps, his steps unsteady, and he almost fell over by the water.

Chao Shui caught Shen Ping, who was about to fall, with both arms wrapped around him and held him tightly in front of her. She pressed her arms against his shoulders and felt his body temperature. The thin figure made Chao Shui frown and look up at Shen Ping.

Chao Shui's gaze met Shen Ping's gentle eyes.

The two looked at each other, speechless.

All the longing turned into tender, loving glances as they looked at each other.

“There are still people…” Shen Ping’s cheeks flushed slightly.

After being reminded, Asami was no longer overjoyed to see the boy again and her attention returned to him. She then carefully observed the boy, noting that he was thin, had pale lips, and looked haggard.

He looked as frail as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

Shen Ping's joyful expression moved Chao Shui, who pursed her lips as if some emotions were brewing within her, remaining tense.

"Look, I'm doing just fine, aren't I?" Shen Ping smiled knowingly, half-mockingly and half-comfortingly, despite his bloodshot eyes and thick eye bags.

He felt the girl in front of him move, and something came to him. Before he could ask, he knew what it was in the next second.

A powerful fist slammed solidly into his chest.

Shen Ping staggered back half a step in pain; the seemingly powerful fist only made him retreat half a step.

"Shen Ping, you big idiot!" Chao Shui scolded angrily, withdrew her fist, turned her head away and breathed heavily a few times, rubbed the corner of her eye, and turned her head to look directly at Shen Ping's bloodshot eyes, who was bent over due to pain.

He clenched his fist and said, "Even if I'm gone, you must eat well, sleep well, and live well, otherwise I will never forgive you even in heaven."

“…” Shen Ping responded after a brief silence, “I assure you.”

"Who needs your promises! I want to see you eat well, sleep well, and live a good life." Chao Shui tucked a stray golden hair behind her ear, her gaze fixed firmly on the haggard boy in front of her.

After calming down, Chaoshui realized that her actions were somewhat inappropriate. "I'm sorry, I was too impulsive and shouldn't have acted on my own. But I've picked out a birthday present for you."

Chao Shui adjusted the gap in her chest, somewhat surprised. "Huh? I remember that stone was placed right here? How did it disappear? What happened? What happened?"

She searched in circles for the stones she had chosen in the cave, but ultimately found nothing.

"You're looking for this, aren't you?" Lu Mingfei took out the exquisite stone that Chao Shui had left behind from his pocket.

When Chao Shui encountered the hallucination earlier, she placed the stone in the hand of the hallucination Shen Ping. As the hallucination Shen Ping disappeared, the stone fell to the ground. Chao Shui, who was not used to the power in the cave, was in a poor state and did not notice this at all.

The waiting boy and the girl who struggled to break the deadlock but couldn't get out were about to develop into a tragic love story. Fortunately, Mob appeared, otherwise it would have truly become a tragedy.

Lu Mingfei returned the stone to Chaoshui.

Overjoyed to receive the stone again, Chao Shui solemnly presented it to Shen Ping, saying, "I'm sorry I missed your birthday, but this is something I obtained at great risk. Can it make up for my mistake?"

The stone wasn't particularly unusual, nor were its patterns rare; it was just like any other ordinary stone. However, it was a birthday gift she had risked her life to find for herself.

Shen Ping glanced at Chao Shui, who was looking at him expectantly, and smiled indulgently. "This is a precious gift, and I like it very much."

He then put the stone away. To him, the stone was precious because it was a gift from someone he liked, but what was even more precious was the person who gave him the gift.

She gently grasped Chao Shui's hand, holding it tightly as if afraid it would disappear from her side at any moment, savoring the warmth of their reunion and basking in the tenderness for a moment.

He looked at Lu Mingfei and the others.

"Thank you for helping me find Asamizu. I will transfer the reward to your account later." Shen Ping first bowed deeply to Lu Mingfei, followed by Mob and Reigen.

Mob felt a little awkward being treated with such respect. He tried to speak several times but couldn't get the words out. Finally, a slight smile appeared on his calm face.

This commission was a failure for Lu Mingfei. Not only did he fail to bring the target back to his employer, but he also almost got himself killed. He felt ashamed to have received such a generous gift.

Overestimating one's own abilities always leads to some unpredictable consequences.

Lu Mingfei smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said politely, "These are all things I should do."

Shen Ping's eyes were full of gratitude.

Reigen Arataka struck a pose with one hand in his pocket and said modestly, "This mission is not completely completed, so we will not accept any further payment."

"Honestly, young man, you really should get some rest. You haven't had a proper rest in a long time."

Shen Ping nodded. He never expected to meet such a kind person again. Holding the girl's hand, he reluctantly left her savior, turning back every three steps in the sunlight.

A soft "click" sound came from Lu Mingfei's waist, and a phantom shadow slipped inside in the blink of an eye.

“I thought you had left since you didn’t show up for so long.” Reigen Arataka checked the time on his phone; it was almost evening. He continued, “Thanks to an evil spirit who called himself Eight-Foot Man who notified Dimple, I learned that you were trapped in a special place, so I brought Mob here.”

"How long have I been trapped inside?" Lu Mingfei had lost his sense of time. The flow of time was different between different worlds, and it was also different after Mob entered.

In addition, his ability to travel between different dimensions makes it very easy for him to lose his sense of time.

"Well..." Reigen Arataka pondered for a moment, realizing that there had been quite a few things going on lately. The exorcism ritual performed on the rich heiress turned out to be possessed by the evil spirit of a powerful psychic. Mob's recent neglect had left him feeling somewhat disappointed, and press conferences and the like were keeping him busy.

Given Lu Mingfei's ability to come and go as he pleases, only heaven knows how long he has been missing.

"Hey Mob, how about we go get some ramen?" Reigen Arataka changed the subject. As a boss with only two employees, it was a bit embarrassing to not even know how long his employees had been missing.

“Okay,” Mob readily agreed.

"Hey, Mr. Linghuan, you haven't answered my question yet," Lu Mingfei persisted.

"Hey, extra, you've done a great job this time. How about we give you four extra slices of meat? Mingfei, do you want some ramen?" Reigen Arataka once again tried to confuse the issue.

"Thank you, Master." Mob looked at Reigen Arataka gratefully.

Seeing that Reigen Arataka had no intention of continuing the topic, Lu Mingfei had no choice but to change the subject, "Why are you not accepting the promised payment again?"

Reigen Arataka turned around and said seriously, "I remember you're not short of money. After all, the money you earn here can only be used here, so you don't need too much money, as long as it's within a reasonable range, right? And..."

He looked at the two people who were gradually disappearing into the distance and reuniting. In such a high-spirited state, asking for payment seemed rather unfriendly.

Lu Mingfei understood Reigen Arataka's meaning and did not want to disturb Shen Ping and Asamizu's joy at their reunion. Apart from superpowers, Lu Mingfei was completely defeated in other aspects, and he also suppressed his joking attitude of being somewhat smug because he had gained stronger superpowers.

"Take me with you if you go eat ramen."

Lu Mingfei followed in the footsteps of Linghuan and his apprentice Mob.

Since the countdown to the dimensional gate ended, the edge of his vision has been showing that it is openable. As long as he has a thought, even if there is no gate in front of him, a gate will be generated out of thin air for him to open.

In addition, the flow of time is different from other worlds, which is why there was no anxiety when carrying out the commission.

In addition, after entering this strange cave, which seemed to be a blessed land in the world of cultivation, his spiritual power increased greatly after just staying there for a while.

He also felt that he had reached a bottleneck. If he continued to stay in the cave, it seemed that there was not much use. To be honest, he did not even know that he had a bottleneck problem. He basically used the abilities he had.

Aside from a mishap during the attempt to copy Mob, it's likely that his own physical abilities or spiritual power weren't sufficient to support Mob's formidable power, preventing a complete copy.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Lu Mingfei asked, "Mouf, do you know what kind of cave we just entered was?"

Mob shook his head. "I don't know. It said it didn't know what it was either. It had been here for a long time, and then someone built a house on it, and it hasn't moved since."

"What?! It? You mean this whole island is alive?" Lu Mingfei's mind flashed back to the cave, where there were indeed internal structures resembling organs. "And how did you open the passage?"

"I contacted them before going in and got their permission before going in," Mob replied calmly.

The vague designation "ta" can refer to many things, but since the "person" in question is right in front of us, it can only refer to this strange island itself. Being able to control the flow of time is beyond the reach of normal beings; perhaps it is a higher-dimensional being driven by interest.

Fortunately, the other party did not hold his offensive behavior inside the other person's body against him.

Given his previous behavior, Lu Mingfei didn't want to draw the creature's attention to himself and just wanted to leave quickly to avoid getting into trouble. Who knew if the creature had any special fetishes, such as liking to possess people and asking them if they wanted to... do business with him like a yandere.

He looked at this seemingly naive (actually, a naturally cunning) middle school student who possessed extremely powerful abilities, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

When a child in a sensitive period gains great power, how can he prevent this power from getting out of control?

Suppress yourself? Or use yourself to the fullest?

It's a very difficult question. Let alone such an unimaginably powerful force, even if he had just mastered some powers that ordinary people don't have, he would start to imagine all sorts of things. The first thing he would do was to go through his enemies in his mind, ready to take action against the next person who offended him.

I'm so glad that Reigen Arataka is by Mob's side, acting as a "lighthouse".

After being busy for "a long time," Lu Mingfei felt refreshed and comfortable after eating a bowl of hot ramen.

Reigen Arataka calmly blew on the ramen noodles to lower their temperature.

A green, teardrop-shaped object suddenly appeared, floated past Lu Mingfei, and stretched out a small hand to greet him: "Hey, long time no see."

"Little Dimple seems to have gotten a lot stronger?" Lu Mingfei's observation skills improved after being enhanced by the island-like creature.

However, I always felt that this spiritual energy was familiar, as if I had seen it before.

"I used to be one of the best among the high-level evil spirits, a powerful evil spirit who dominated a region. Naturally, following Mob will slowly restore my strength." Little Dimple proudly introduced her past glory after being praised.

That's the only glorious past he can mention so far.

The dark history of escaping from the strongest psychic of the last century was buried deep in his heart. Little Dimple glanced at Mob, thinking that if he could grow up, he might become the next strongest psychic. He had fought against two of the strongest and survived, which was really lucky.

“I thought you had abandoned that humanoid evil spirit and let her wander outside for more than ten days. I caught her and was about to eat her when she said that you were trapped and asked me to find someone to rescue you.”

As soon as Xiaojiuwo finished speaking, a spirit storage bottle at Lu Mingfei's waist trembled slightly, then fell silent, as if it were dead.

In the real world, ten days or more might be a long time, but inside an unknown creature it might only be a few minutes, or even less.

Although the eight-foot-tall man doesn't have many merits, he's a decent evil spirit, pleasing to the eye enough.

"Thanks to Little Dimple for sending the message, I was rescued in time..." Lu Mingfei imitated Zhang Chulan's flattery of the evil spirit. Little Dimple was indeed the leader of many evil spirits, and was already used to such flattery.

Having endured numerous near-annihilation blows, Dimple's mentality was already exceptionally strong. Hearing someone flattering her, especially someone who might be on par with Mob, she couldn't help but feel happy.
