Dragon Raja: Starting with Summoning Erii

Chen Motong gave her a strange look before turning back.

This girl is so well-behaved in front of Xia Mu. Is she really as innocent and naive as the media portrays her?

The First Evolution

"Hey, Xia Mu, why don't you call yourself Uesugi Mu? Do you really like the surname 'Xia'?" Chen Motong suddenly asked.

Xia Mu nodded casually.

"I see..."

Chen Motong looked at Erii again, convinced that he had grasped the truth, and stopped thinking about it.

"arrive."

Chu Zihang drove the sports car into the parking lot, parked it in one go, and applied the brakes and pulled the handbrake in one smooth motion.

The four people got off the bus.

Tokyo Skytree closes at 9 p.m., and it's only 8 p.m. now. The tickets aren't expensive, only 1000 yen per person, but you can only go up to 350 meters high. You have to pay extra to go higher.

The transparent elevator carried the four of them all the way to the top. It was very fast, but there was no feeling of weightlessness or g-force.

The observation deck high in the air offers a panoramic view of the landscape within a 70-kilometer radius, with bright lights spreading out in all directions like a spider web before finally fading into darkness.

Erii's small hands gripped the railing tightly, her eyes reflecting the vibrant and colorful night view of the entire city.

"Mumu, is this the most beautiful place in the world?"

As soon as she turned around, the fragrance of her red hair brushed against Xia Mu's nose, causing a slight tickle without feeling sticky.

"As an urban landscape, it can perhaps be considered one of the most beautiful," Xia Mu said.

At that time, the Shanghai Center had just started construction. The "Top of Shanghai" observation deck, which was 100 meters taller than the Tokyo Skytree, had not yet appeared, and the magnificent view of both sides of the Huangpu River was still not clearly visible.

"Oh…"

Erii's excitement faded slightly: "If only this were the most beautiful place in the world..."

"Why?" Xia Mu asked.

Erii looked up at him, her skin almost transparent.

“Then I’ll have been to the most beautiful places in the world,” she said softly.

Xia Mu asked curiously, "Isn't it good that there are many other beautiful places in the world? This way, we can look forward to going to even better places in the future."

Erii blinked her clear, blood-red eyes and gave a soft "hmm".

Natsuki suddenly thought of the reward, "Uesugi Erii's future." Perhaps she was worried about not having a future, so she wanted to have the best of everything in the limited time she had.

He didn't say anything more, because there's no use in saying more about things that haven't been done.

Chen Motong stood not far away with his arms crossed, but instead of looking at the scenery, he was observing the two of them.

As for Chu Zihang, for some reason he kept staring at the joint of the transparent glass without moving.

"What are you thinking about?" Xia Mu couldn't help but ask.

Chu Zihang calmly replied, "I'm assessing the sturdiness of the floor-to-ceiling glass. It's very difficult to ensure that curved glass, which is in a high-altitude environment with huge temperature differences, won't shatter."

After saying that, he paused for a moment, then added, "And also, I'm listening to you talk, looking for evidence that you're a couple."

Xia Mu: "..."

Chapter Thirty-Five: The Chu-Chen Duo with Conflicting Attributes

"Dad, what are your plans given the current situation?"

Under the Tokyo Skytree, a sports car was parked on the side of the road. Genji leaned against the car and looked up at the top while talking on the phone with Tachibana Masamune.

“Once they come down, you can take Koki home,” Tachibana Masamune said gently.

“Dad, the academy doesn’t actually have any hostility. They just want to meet Xiaomu alone. They have no intention of hiding their whereabouts, and Xiaomu’s location has been kept in our possession,” Yuan Zhisheng said.

Tachibana Masamune paused for a moment, then asked, "Chisei, what are you trying to say?"

Yuan Zhisheng hesitated for a moment, holding his phone: "Dad, Xiao Mu has been very happy these past few days, I can tell."

Tachibana Masamune remained silent, waiting for him to continue.

"Whether it was Xia Liyi's appearance or Chu Zihang and Chen Motong's arrival, Xiao Mu didn't object; on the contrary, she was quite happy to go with them..."

Genji paused for a moment: "So I'm wondering why he left me so decisively? Is it because he felt there was no freedom here?"

"So what? What do you want to do?" Tachibana Masamune asked calmly.

Yuan Zhisheng's tone rose slightly: "Dad, have you noticed that Xiaomu has been particularly stable lately? In addition, with the belt that automatically injects serum, he theoretically has the conditions to gain his freedom."

"You want to give him his freedom?" Tachibana Masamune said slowly. "Do you mean send him to Kassel College?"

Yuan Zhisheng paused for a moment: "I haven't thought about it yet. I just don't want to restrict his going out anymore."

Tachibana Masamune remained silent for a while.

"Dad," Genji's voice was lowered, "is it not allowed?"

“Chiki,” Tachibana Masamune sighed slowly, “do you think Koki is more stable than those ‘demons’ in the family?”

Yuan Zhisheng tightened his grip on his phone: "Xiao Mu has the serum, but they don't."

“Okay, so according to you, are we supposed to send him serum after he goes to Kassel College? Wouldn’t that be blatantly telling Angers Komugi that there’s something wrong with him?” Tachibana Masamune said.

Genjiro did not give up: "Have the Ganryu Research Institute manufacture a device that can store a year's worth of serum, disguised as a suitcase."

Tachibana Masamune remained silent for a long time.

He couldn't think of any more reasons to refuse.

"Dad, I'll take care of the Execution Department's affairs. I can complete all the missions to kill the 'Demons.' The family doesn't need Xiaomu for the time being, so let's give him some last bit of freedom, okay?" Yuan Zhisheng's tone was full of pleading.

Tachibana Masamune sighed: "Chisei, you never had this idea before, why do you suddenly want to set Koki free?"

"before…"

Genjiro stared blankly at the top of Tokyo Skytree: "He used to be unlike a human. He was only happy when playing games. Otherwise, he would do whatever we asked, as obedient as a machine..."

"Even now, until Xia Liyi appeared, until he suddenly went to China, he still wanted to sing, he still wrote such desperate yet hopeful lyrics, he was still willing to run away with Chen Motong and Chu Zihang..."

He took a deep breath and said, "Dad, Xiao Mu is no longer a weapon in my heart. He is a person, my brother. I want to protect him and give him what he wants."

Tachibana Masamune smiled gently: "I always thought you didn't really see him as a younger brother, but now I realize you care about him a lot. Is it because of... Chizuru? You've been using him as a substitute for Chizuru, haven't you?"

Yuan Zhisheng's face turned pale, and his fingers trembled slightly.

"I…"

He said in a low voice, "I really don't want things to end up like that with Xiaomu."

"It's a pity that a serum wasn't developed at that time," Tachibana Masamune said regretfully.

Yuan Zhisheng remained silent.

“Chisuke, leave things here to me. There’s a new ‘demon’ in the clan that needs your help,” said Tachibana Masamune.

Yuan Zhisheng asked nervously, "Dad, what will you do?"

Tachibana Masamune chuckled softly: "I'll go to the Ganryu Research Institute now."

Yuan Zhisheng felt a sense of relief: "Thank you, Dad."

Tachibana Masamune let out a hearty laugh.

In a pleasant mood, Yuan Zhisheng hung up the phone, got into his sports car, and drove away.

Tachibana Masamune put away his phone, walked out calmly, got into the car, and said to the driver, "To the Ganryu Research Institute."

There are many things and secrets that Genjiro doesn't know, such as where the serum came from, and that besides the Snake Clan, he has another card in his hand.

If the Snake-Headed Eight Families can't handle it, then let the Fierce Demon Clan do it.

No matter what, he would not let Xia Mu leave!

"The four of them came down from Tokyo Skytree."

"They drove away in their sports car again."

"They went into a love hotel."

"They only booked one room."

Genjiro had been listening to Kaguya's report the whole way when he suddenly slammed on the brakes: "One room? Four people?!"

“They’re playing cards,” Princess Kaguya said again.

Genjiro first breathed a sigh of relief, then was speechless: "They can still play cards together?"

"It seems to be a two-on-two game. Miss Xia and Young Master Mu are cooperating very well. Chu Zihang and Chen Motong are indeed at odds and have been blaming each other all the time," said Princess Kaguya.

Yuan Zhisheng found it strange: "Why can they be monitored even when they're in the room?"

Princess Kaguya replied, "That hotel has surveillance cameras."

"The love hotel installed surveillance cameras?" Yuan Zhisheng twitched his lips.

"Are you going to move or not?! Stopping in the middle of the road like that is asking for trouble!"

Road rage knows no borders, and an impatient horn blared from behind Genjiro.

“They were closely monitored during their time at the hotel, and notified me of any issues. Once they left the hotel, I reported them to the authorities.”

He casually put his phone back on the phone holder, plugged in his earphones, and floored the accelerator, leaving the cars behind him covered in dust.

The car tried to catch up, but a minute later it couldn't even see the taillights anymore.

In a large room at a couples' hotel, four people sat around the bed playing cards.

As for why they were playing cards, it was simply because it was too late, and this hotel was the only one nearby with two rooms left: a double room and a twin room.

How should it be allocated?

Erii insisted on sharing a room with Natsuki, while Chu Zihang and Chen Motong strongly opposed it. Chu Zihang wanted to share a room with Natsuki, while Chen Motong wanted to sleep in a twin room with Erii. This disagreement was irreconcilable.

Finally, Chen Motong proposed to decide the winner by playing cards, with the winner getting to decide the outcome.
