Dragon Raja: Starting with Summoning Erii

Xia Mu thought for a moment and said, "Let's go on a date off-campus on the day of the physical exam, and bring Yi Yi along."

Xia Mi tilted her head back to look at his profile. "You're planning to avoid the physical exam like this? It probably won't work, will it?"

“It will work for you two, but not for me. Their target will definitely be me,” Xia Mu said. “I’ll do it again later, and you can just say you’re not feeling well and will do it next time. Make up any excuse, and they definitely won’t bother you.”

“Your blood sample won’t show any problems, but their purpose…” Xia Mi frowned, “we still need to be careful.”

“What am I afraid of?” Xia Mu smiled. “Don’t you and Yi Yi protect me?”

"Tch, who's going to protect you, you stinky man!"

Xia Mi rolled her eyes.

Two days passed quickly.

Early that morning, on the school-wide physical examination day set by the board of directors, Natsuki, Natsumi, and Erii slipped out of the campus early, driving the sports car they had borrowed from Caesar, heading towards the bustling city center.

First stop: the aquarium.

"Originally, it would have been a perfect date spot for two people to walk together in such a tranquil underwater tunnel, lovingly observing the marine animals, the boy and girl so close they could even hear each other's heartbeats. But then..."

Xia Mi looked back at Erii, the little tail behind her, and seemed rather disheartened.

"At least I learned about many marine creatures..."

Xia Mu was forced to swallow his words halfway through his sentence by her murderous gaze.

"Mumu, I want that."

They reached the exit and entered the souvenir shop, where Erii took a liking to the largest dolphin plush toy in the claw machine.

Xia Mu eagerly ran to insert coins, wasting coins worth ten times the dolphin pillow itself before finally getting it down for her.

Looking back, Xia Mi's face was almost frozen.

"I want that one."

She pointed to the giant crab-shaped pillow.

Helpless, Xia Mu had no choice but to exchange for more coins and continue trying to catch more.

The staff member next to them smiled at the three of them, his expression polite and generous, except for a slightly strange look in his eyes.

The group consisted of one man and two women, and the girls seemed to be competing with each other...

"Damn it! Are you kidding me?! The crab will get stuck!"

Xia Mu was extremely frustrated, and in the end, she managed to press it out using two or three other cushions.

"Humph."

Xia Mi held a crab in one hand and linked arms with him in the other, tilting her head back high.

Erii continued to follow, holding the dolphin.

She knew exactly what she wanted. No matter what Xia Mi and Xia Mu did, as long as she was sure of her place in Xia Mu's heart, she felt at ease.

Just like the dolphin-shaped pillow I asked for...

Second stop, Ferris wheel.

"Yi-yi, you're not going to sit inside with us, are you?" Xia Mi looked at Erii very seriously.

"Oh, I'll be waiting for you downstairs..."

Erii was only halfway through her sentence when her intuition suddenly alerted her, because of the sly glint in Natsumi's eyes.

"I'll sit in the back," she suddenly changed her mind.

Xia Mi's face fell, feeling extremely depressed.

I was trying to sneak in a little flirtation, but then I saw those bright, big eyes watching me from behind. How could I possibly do it...?

"Xia Mu, what exactly do you think of me?"

The two rode on the Ferris wheel. Although they couldn't do anything underhanded, the distance between them in the enclosed space still felt closer.

Xia Mi deliberately sat down next to Xia Mu, leaning against him, and asked, "Do you really only see me as a business partner?"

Xia Mu didn't deliberately distance himself from her... there was nowhere to do so anyway.

"I still consider you a friend," he said with a smile, but his gaze was fixed on the distance, refusing to look at her beside him.

Xia Mi is just too perfect; the closer you get to her, the easier it is to be influenced by her charm.

He genuinely hoped she could have a future, but at the same time, he remained mindful of his boundaries and didn't want anything to cross the line that would upset Erii.

His Yiyi is a girl who really needs to be carefully cared for.

If you upset her, you'll be struck by lightning.

Aren't you afraid you'll regret it in the future?

Xia Mi smiled gently, her small face glowing in the sunlight, so bright and charming.

"I've read some romance novels, including one called 'Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms,' where the protagonist, Bai Qian, said something like this..."

Her voice sounded much more desolate, "When he was here, all I could think about were his bad points... Now that he's gone, all I can think about are his good points..."

Xia Mu was lost in thought.

"Humans have a weakness."

Xia Mi regained her composure. "They always only realize their regrets after they've lost them."

Xia Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he abruptly turned to look at her, "What are you thinking?"

"It's nothing, don't overthink it!"

Xia Mi turned around, hooked her arms around his neck, and leaned against him, breathing softly into his ear, "Were you suddenly startled? Are you afraid to imagine what it would feel like to lose me? Are you especially scared?"

Xia Mu's heart sank back down, but he didn't hide it. He reached out and pulled her hand away, sighing softly, "You're right. If you suddenly disappeared, I wouldn't be able to accept it. That's just human nature."

"But you are not human."

Xia Mi looked into his eyes, "Why don't you try to develop your dragon side?"

"What would the dragon's other side be like?" Xia Mu asked. "Ruthless and decisive? Willing to do anything for power?"

"You have a misunderstanding about dragons. Don't assume that the research and speculations at Kassel College represent the entirety of dragons."

Xia Mi rolled her eyes. "Our pursuit of power isn't just part of our bloodline; more importantly, it's our destiny—something we can't escape or break free from..."

She paused, then looked at him and said, "But similarly, dragons never understand what giving up is, nor do they live a life of mediocrity; they will do everything in their power to achieve what they want."

"If you want me, as a dragon, you will never let me go."

Xia Mu remained silent for a long time, until the Ferris wheel finished its rotation, before she chuckled softly.

"But deep down, I'm a human being..."

Chapter 228 Master-Level Ambiguity

The third stop was the movie theater.

Regarding the discussion about whether Xia Mu was human or dragon, Xia Mi stopped arguing with him and didn't want to dwell on the matter.

I am who I am, and I act according to my conscience. I don't need any fixed definition.

That's what Xia Mu was thinking.

"I'm telling you, you chose this movie on purpose, didn't you?"

The movie ticket in my hand has a picture of Ultraman fighting monsters printed on it.

"what happened?"

Xia Mi was holding a can of cola and popcorn in her arms, looking a little excited... She had never watched a movie with anyone before, so this was a dream come true.

"My daughter Yiyi always thinks she's a little monster..."

Natsuki turned around and patted Erii's head. "Are you taking her to see a horror movie?"

"What's there to be afraid of!"

Xia Mi leaned over and nudged Erii's shoulder, giggling, "Your Mumu will beat Ultraman away."

"Oh…"

Erii grabbed Natsuki's hand and blinked her beautiful big eyes. "I'm not afraid anymore. I feel... at ease now."

"and…"

Her eyes crinkled into small smiles. "I know there's no Ultraman in this world. The anime is all fake. The real world is like a ruby ​​coveted by snakes—beautiful, fragile, and warm."

Xia Mu was stunned.

"Do you still treat her like a child?"

Xia Mi stuffed the popcorn in her hand into Xia Mu's hand, "Do you know what she does every day in the dorm by herself? She reads a lot of books, all of which you recommended to her. She reads them very seriously, one by one. She's slowly getting to know the world..."

Against the Gods

"She's not a child anymore; she's a young woman just beginning to experience love!"

Natsuki looked into Erii's eyes, which were still so clear and pure; her understanding of the world had not tainted her innocent heart.

"The show starts in five minutes!"

Xia Mi dragged him into the movie theater.

Xia Mi carefully selected the movie tickets: two back-row seats reserved for couples, and one seat in front of the reserved seats for couples.

So, Erii, sitting in front, can only choose one: watch the movie or keep an eye on the two of them.

No wonder she chose an Ultraman movie; it was probably to attract Erii's attention?

"You've planned this perfectly..."

Natsuki, holding popcorn, reached out and patted Erii's little head in the row in front of him as a gesture of comfort.

Xia Mi was pressed close to him, a cola straw between her teeth, "I put so much effort into getting these three months, can't I not try to make the most of them?"

"Here, have some."

She handed me the Coke cup without any hint of affability.
