Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Sekiro

When I took it out to check this morning, the bullets were already reloaded.

Did Chu Zihang really want to save him back then?

Lu Mingfei didn't know, maybe the principal gave the order, but in any case, someone was willing to risk their life to save you, whether it was for a mission or out of affection, you should remember this kindness.

However, it seems that Senior Brother Chu doesn't need his help.

The "Balloon Carrying" game has begun, and all three teams are starting to head towards the finish line.

The distance from the starting point to the finish line is only about ten meters, but with the balloon in between, those ten meters will seem exceptionally long.

You and your partner not only have to walk sideways, but also keep an eye on the balloon's condition at all times.

If a person doesn't look at the road, it's easy for them to go astray. If you ask someone to walk in a straight line with their eyes closed, you'll find that they've walked in a parabola within 50 meters, but in their own perception, they'll feel like they're walking in a straight line.

Someone once used a drone to film the tracks left by a lost person in the desert. The lines were coiled into various shapes, looking like a child's random scribbles. Moreover, even if you follow the trail, many people may not be able to walk in a straight line, which is why compasses and road signs are needed.

Chu Zihang and Su Xi cooperated very well. They walked in unison, kept their distance, and walked at the front of the track. Aki and Ye Sheng were slightly behind them. Soon they reached the finish line one after another. Nono and Caesar had only gone halfway because they accidentally popped a balloon and had to start all over again from the starting point.

Only 10 seconds had passed when Chu Zihang and Su Xi began transporting the second balloon.

Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya suddenly stopped what they were doing, and the two seemed to be exchanging something.

Nono and Caesar nodded to each other and received a new balloon from the host when Nono and Caesar began to transport the second balloon.

Meanwhile, Chu Zihang and his team were nearing the finish line. They were well-coordinated and kept in step because Chu Zihang was shouting commands, like a drill instructor during military training, chanting "1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1".

This way, the rhythm wouldn't be disrupted; they weren't playing a game, but rather completing a secret mission.

Caesar and Nono played very easily and were not in a hurry at all.

Finally, Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya also moved. They used their backs to hold a red balloon, and unexpectedly, Ye Sheng was facing the basket at the finish line.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Sheng started walking on the track as if he were walking normally, while Shudeya Ki took a step backward in the opposite direction to match his pace.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but marvel at how well the two worked together; they truly were a top-notch duo.

Time flew by, and the final results were in: Ye Sheng's group came in first with 9 items, Chu Zihang's group had 7 items, while Nono and Caesar only carried 4 items. They could have carried one more, but after carrying the fourth item, they returned to the starting point to wait for the timer to end, seemingly feeling that continuing was pointless.

"Congratulations on winning first place!" The host took out an exquisite prize box and said enthusiastically, "My goodness, this was definitely the most intense competition tonight. You know, the winners in the previous rounds only managed to carry 4 or 5 items. You are the undisputed champions!"

He handed the gift box to Ye Sheng.

The second and third place winners also received prizes; everyone who participated received a prize, but they weren't packaged in gift boxes anymore. Chu Zihang received a cute squirrel plush toy, while Caesar only got a Bugs Bunny keychain.

"Would you like to take a photo?" the host asked. "We offer free photo services."

“Let’s take a picture together,” said Shudeyaki with a smile.

“Okay.” Nono walked over and took Susie’s hand.

"Then I'll go and call Lu Mingfei over too." Ye Sheng said, waving as he walked towards Lu Mingfei.

As the band's violin performance reached its climax, six more people went to the track to participate in the game.

Lu Mingfei was pulled over, still holding a half-empty bottle of iced cola in his hand.

"Since you didn't participate in the competition, just squat here." Ye Sheng led him to the front.

Behind him, Jiu Deya and Ye Sheng held hands, Su Xi and Nuonuo linked arms, and Chu Zihang and Caesar stared at each other.

"I'll count to three, and everyone say 'cheese' together, okay?" The host and photographer said, holding a camera.

"Okay." Lu Mingfei waved at the camera.

He thought to himself that this kind of life was really good. He wished Old Tang and Fingel were here too; they should have taken a picture together at the buffet that night...

The past will never return, but some things he will remember for a lifetime.

At this moment, Aki patted his head, and Ye Sheng also put his hand on his shoulder.

"It's time to take pictures," Aki said softly.

“3, 2, 1,” the photographer said.

"Cheese!" came the voices from behind.

"Cheese." Lu Mingfei smiled and gave a peace sign to the camera.

The camera shutter is pressed, the flash is lit, and this moment is captured on film and preserved forever.

He suddenly remembered his days in Ashina, those days that only he remembered.

Back then, eating was a lonely affair. You'd stuff a dry, plastic-like piece of ration into your mouth and then have to keep going. Sometimes there wasn't even any ration to eat, and you'd go hungry. If you couldn't find an old house with a leaky roof at night, you could only lie in a tree and take a nap.

Oh right, oh right, what I hate most is rain. When I get soaked, it's hard to find a place to start a fire and warm myself up. I don't have time to take a shower either, and I always have an unpleasant smell. When I get hurt, I just tough it out and wait for it to heal on its own, or I die and wait to be resurrected in the endless darkness.

Most of the time he was alone, traveling alone, wielding his knife alone, eating alone, and sleeping alone.

Occasionally, I can rest for a day or two at the temple and the temple, and then I have to pick up my knife and set off again.

He finally mastered martial arts to rescue Jiulang, and then he had to work tirelessly to help Jiulang abolish his immortality.

I wonder how Mi Niang is doing now. She is not a weak woman. She can live well on her own in this chaotic world, at least much better than Lu Mingfei. She can protect herself even without "wolves".

She was very strong and had a precious, innocent heart. Lu Mingfei hadn't really offered Mi Niang any help, except for bringing her a fresh, sweet persimmon when he went to see her. He couldn't do anything else. On the contrary, Mi Niang taught him a lot.

He never wanted to be a "wolf," but by the time he realized it, his enemies were already calling him a "wolf."

He didn't know if he would ever have a chance to go back. Before that, he wrote down everything he knew in a notebook and searched for it on the computer one by one, but the information he found was all unrelated web pages. Even with Norma's help, he couldn't find anything useful.

He had also rearranged the room to match that day and invited Lao Tang to play StarCraft, but the bizarre incident of falling into a dark sewer and finding himself severely injured and covered in blood did not happen again.

There was no warning when I went, and no warning when I returned; it was just like a dream.

But which side is the dream, and which side is reality?

Sometimes he would think about this problem, but he couldn't come up with an answer no matter how much he thought about it, so he would give up thinking about it and go play games with Lao Tang and brag to him in the voice chat.

Living alone is really tough. You have to bear everything on your own, but having someone to confide in makes you feel much better. Even if they can't help you, just listening is a form of help.

The meaning of a ninja is someone who can endure—endure hardship, exhaustion, pain, and even tears...

"Here you go." Ye Sheng handed over the photos developed from the digital camera.

Lu Mingfei took the photo and glanced at it; the pink mask was particularly eye-catching.

He unbuttoned the first button of his suit jacket collar, unzipped the inner pocket of his blouse, and carefully placed the photograph next to the one his parents had sent him.

"It's about to start, isn't it?" Lu Mingfei straightened his clothes.

"Five minutes left," Ye Sheng said.

Sakeya was chatting with Susie Nono, pointing at the photos and laughing heartily.

"Are you ready?" Lu Mingfei asked.

“I was ready in Bronze City.” Ye Sheng said softly, “To be honest, I still can’t believe that Aki and I escaped from hell. I swore back then that I would marry this girl in my next life.”

"Why the next life?"

“I thought I would never have another chance in this life, but since God has given me another chance, this life will definitely be better than the next.” Ye Sheng put his hand on Lu Mingfei’s shoulder again. “It’s settled then, you’ll be my best man.”

"Does the child have to recognize me as its godfather after it's born?"

"Let's talk about it after you find a wife. Then you can recognize both godfather and godmother."

"I reckon we'll have enough time to wait."

"Who knows? Love always comes suddenly. Some people get married in a flash, while others never get married at all. Everyone has their own choices. I'll send you invitations once the date is set. You can bring as many people as you want; I'll cover their travel expenses."

"Were you a tycoon before?"

"The word 'tuhao' is too low-class. You can call me a scion of a noble family."

"Wow, what a tycoon! I'm begging to ride on his coattails!"

"Brother, stop pretending. Although my Ye family is a family of dragon slayers, how can we compare to your Lu family? I heard at the hearing that your parents are both 'S' level. It's my turn to suck up to you, okay?"

“But I haven’t seen my parents for many years. I only receive letters from them. Before I came to Kassel, I stayed at my aunt’s house.”

"This is what an 'S'-class life is like. With great power comes great responsibility. Your parents must be on some top-secret mission. I bet their situation is similar to when Aki and I participated in the 'Kuimen' project."

"I wonder how they are doing now."

"Everything will be alright. 'S-rank' members are all very powerful. Look at the academy, only you and the principal are 'S-rank' members. Aren't you both influential figures?"

"Come on, even if you try to flatter me, I won't give you any extra money as a gift."

"It's fine if you don't give me a gift of money. I'll give you a red envelope if I'm the best man," Ye Sheng said with a grin. "Just don't be late."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't be late." Lu Mingfei and Ye Sheng gave each other a high five.

At the same time, the lights in the venue suddenly dimmed, and on the stage, after the band finished playing their last piece, the conductor led the band in bowing to the audience.

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted, the band left the stage, and the host took the microphone and went on stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to hold an event, an event themed around love." The broadcasting system amplified the host's voice to every corner, "I only have one prize prepared for the event."

All the lights went out, and a small spotlight shone into the host's palm.

It was an open, exquisite little black gift box. In the very center of the box, a dazzling diamond ring reflected starlight. It was an emerald-cut diamond set in platinum, sparkling in layers, its square cut giving it a unique charm.

"The winner will receive this 15-carat diamond ring for free. This event is only open to couples." The host closed the gift box again.

A small commotion immediately broke out in the audience.

Preliminary estimates put the diamond ring at around $300 million.

Soon, the lights came on again, the stage curtain was fully lifted, and waiters appeared with a stack of small cards, distributing them to everyone. The cards listed the specific rules of the event.

Many couples in love signed up because the event was very attractive to women, but some men looked visibly worried.

Chapter 134 All those present are trash

"With the get out of class ending in ten minutes, the activity has already begun. Staff are applying makeup to the participants, which is expected to be completed within five minutes."

"Roger, the fireworks setup is complete, everything is normal."

"Roger, all the big screens are powered on and ready for live broadcasting."

"Roger, the drone is in position. The view from the library rooftop is great tonight; you can see the moon and stars."

"Roger, the photographers and lighting technicians are in position. All units are awaiting the signal and ready to go at any time."

The radio crackled as various groups exchanged information. On the second floor of the Norton Building, eight cameras, covered by black curtains, were scattered throughout the corridors, capturing footage from every angle.
