She opened her eyes, tilted her head slightly, and let her hair fall down.

What you see is a circular mercury matrix, which has a corrosive and highly toxic effect on dragons.

Naturally, the same applies to humans and hybrids, only the damage they suffer is relatively milder.

His once bright eyes were now empty, and he glanced listlessly at the thin tube connecting to his spine, where crimson blood was being slowly drawn out and sent into a mercury-filled conical flask for experiments.

Nuwa's lips twitched into a bitter smile.

Feeling weak, she was unable to resist and fled the place.

After struggling to move on the floor, Nuwa finally chose to close her eyes.

Garlic bird, garlic bird, go back to sleep.

Once she truly awakens, all those who defied her will pay for their transgressions with blood.

It's time for this generation of elders to hand over their positions to the new generation.

"Hungry..." Nuwa muttered, her voice echoing softly.

They only let the cows milk but didn't feed them grass.

How could I forget to bring food?

……

That evening, Lu Mingfei told Xia Mi and Ling about his conversation with Zhou Qinghe that morning.

At that moment, the family was eating hot pot.

Zero delivered high-quality ingredients.

Following the principle that meat should be cooked for 30 seconds before eating, Xia Mi couldn't wait to scoop up a piece of beef tenderloin, dip it in her homemade sauce, and put it in her mouth.

"Phew~ So hot~ So satisfying." Xia Mi showed a happy expression, swallowed, and then turned to look at Lu Mingfei: "Senior brother, what did you just say?"

"Alliance Leader Lu just said that Zhou Qinghe of the orthodox Zhou family wants to entrust him with infiltrating the Zhou family to secretly rescue Nuwa," Zero said.

Although it was just a meal, we talked about work.

So... you should use your job title when you're at work!

"Oh, is that so? What's in it for us?"

"After this is done, Nuwa will do everything she can to help me investigate Black Swan Harbor."

"Junior Sister can do it too."

"Or choose one hundred million US dollars."

Xia Mi's beautiful eyes were automatically replaced with a pair: $$.

"There's no time to lose, we'll set off tonight." Xia Mi clenched her fist.

"...Isn't this too fast? We still don't know where the Zhou family is."

"Haha, that's true. Haste makes waste." Xia Mi nodded. "Judging from your attitude, Senior Brother, we're definitely going to help you out?"

"I think Junior Sister is also itching to try."

"Hehe, this beef tendon is also good, it's chewy."

"Zero, what are your thoughts?" Lu Mingfei looked at Zero.

"I'll listen to Alliance Leader Lu," Ling said calmly.

The Great Xia Dynasty held a meeting to discuss rescuing Nuwa, and the resolution was passed unanimously.

"On another note, Professor Xia Mi, with your vast knowledge, do you know what kind of being Nuwa was?"

Chapter 120 "Chen Wenwen is nice, with fair skin and pretty feet, but Liu Miaomiao is more obedient."

"Senior brother, why do you think I know Nuwa?" Xia Mi asked, puzzled.

“Because I feel that Teacher Xia Mi understands you, you’ve always known a lot,” Lu Mingfei said after thinking for a moment.

"Hehe, I'm very happy to be praised by my senior brother. It's a pity I don't understand Nuwa." Xia Mi spread her hands.

This is a lie.

Xia Mi did not know Nuwa, but Yemenggad did, or rather, the King of the Earth and Mountains.

The Zhou family and she have some connection.

Regarding the story of Nuwa being imprisoned by her own child and fed with her blood, Xia Mi was actually hesitant about whether to help.

Helping her certainly isn't like Lu Mingfei, who simply beats up the Zhou family villains and rescues Nuwa.

Those benefits only apply to Lu Mingfei; Ms. Ye doesn't get any real benefit.

Unless Lu Mingfei chooses the $100 million and hands it over to her.

"When does Senior Brother plan to set off?" Xia Mi asked.

"I'll talk to Sister Zhou tomorrow. If things aren't urgent, I plan to go there during the summer vacation. After all, I don't know how long I'll be staying at the Zhou family's house," Lu Mingfei said.

Xia Mi raised her voice.

“For this operation, Xia Mi and Ling will stay at the base camp; I can go alone,” Lu Mingfei said.

"I won't hold you back," Zero said seriously.

She's very good at fighting.

“The Zhou family’s situation is complicated and unpredictable. If the three of us go together, we’ll be wiped out if anything goes wrong. Trust me, if we encounter an enemy we can’t defeat, I’ll be the first to run away,” Lu Mingfei said.

After a moment's hesitation, seeing the sincerity in Lu Mingfei's eyes, Ling nodded gently.

Lu Mingfei also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Xia Mi and Ling follow him, it will be inconvenient for him to transform into Ultraman Ding.

"Junior sister is waiting at home for senior brother's triumphant return. The Zhou family is just a mere orthodox family, not at its peak thousands of years ago. With senior brother's strength, taking them down won't be a problem." Xia Mi cheered.

"Has Teacher Xia Mi witnessed the Zhou family at its peak?" Lu Mingfei asked half-jokingly.

"Haha, senior brother, haven't you heard the saying, 'The older, the stronger'?" Xia Mi chuckled dryly. "I'm saying modern people definitely can't beat ancient people, anyone understand?"

In the past, Lu Mingfei had never been in contact with dragons and hybrids, and thought that Teacher Daye was talking nonsense.

He lacks sufficient knowledge and dares not draw any conclusions.

"Let's continue eating hot pot. Xia Mi, don't just eat meat, eat some vegetables too," Lu Mingfei said.

The next day, Lu Mingfei took the initiative to go to Zhou Qinghe and give her a reply.

Zhou Qinghe was naturally delighted and agreed to set off during the summer vacation, as it wouldn't take much longer.

"Speaking of which, is Sister Zhou the only one who realized that Nuwa was killed?" Lu Mingfei asked. "Do we have any like-minded teammates?"

Zhou Qinghe said, "I have a cousin who is two years younger than me, and he is willing to do anything for me, even risk his life."

Lu Mingfei asked, "Did he say that himself?"

"There's not much difference. I'll find an opportunity to introduce him to you. He used to live in Kunshan."

"Kunshan Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs are famous throughout the world, and he sends me some every autumn," Zhou Qinghe said with a smile.

It's clear that the siblings have a good relationship.

"What's Sister Zhou's cousin's name? How should I address him?" Lu Mingfei asked.

“His name is Zhou Minhao. He’s older than you… well, a few years older. You can just call him Brother Hao,” Zhou Qinghe said.

“Okay.” Lu Mingfei readily agreed and was very polite.

The rescue of Nuwa will be put on hold for now, and will be launched again when the summer vacation arrives soon.

The documents for joining the Zhou family haven't been signed yet, but there's no rush. Zhou Qinghe will reply to the old folks in the family; it'll be done soon. Lu Mingfei is already tempted.

"There's something else I almost forgot, but it has nothing to do with you."

My friend, surnamed Liu, secretly told me that the legitimate Liu family is planning to have Liu Miaomiao acknowledge her ancestry and return to the main lineage.

I reckon Liu Miaomiao is unaware of this yet. You're close to her, do you think she'd agree?

"No," Lu Mingfei replied crisply.

"Are you sure? It's not because you can't bear to part with her that you lied. After recognizing her ancestors, Liu Miaomiao might have to return to the Liu family and move to another city to attend school." Zhou Qinghe's eyes narrowed.

“I’ve talked to her before, and she wants her life to stay as it is and doesn’t want to be disturbed,” Lu Mingfei said.

"You were talking about that night at the resort, right? I get it~ I get it~" Zhou Qinghe nodded in deep agreement, her eyes filled with ambiguity.

"What do you know?" Lu Mingfei tilted his head.

"To be honest, those big families are known for their domineering ways and probably wouldn't consider Liu Miaomiao's opinion."

It's possible they might use a combination of persuasion and gentle coaxing to bring her back to the Liu family. After all, she's a rare case of atavism, an A+ grade hybrid, a truly exceptional talent.

After returning to the Liu family, everything will be arranged – matchmaking, marriage, having children – all in one go. I can then focus on raising outstanding future generations for the family, and that will be enough for my life.

When Zhou Qinghe said these words, he had a mocking smile on his face, and there was also a suspicion of stirring up trouble.

"The situation won't come to that," Lu Mingfei shook his head, his voice calm.

"I thought you would fly into a rage, slam your fist on the table and yell: 'Whoever dares to take my Miaomiao away, I'll kill them!'" Zhou Qinghe exclaimed dramatically.

"I'm not that heroic," Lu Mingfei said helplessly. "At most, I'd break their legs and throw them into the river to feed the sharks. By the way, are there sharks in the waters near Rongcheng? Piranhas would do too."

Zhou Qinghe: "..."

"You know what you're doing. I think you and Liu Miaomiao are a good match. Chen Wenwen from last time was also nice, with fair skin and pretty feet, but I think Liu Miaomiao is more obedient," Zhou Qinghe teased.

“Chen Wenwen, Liu Miaomiao, and I are classmates. You’ve misunderstood,” Lu Mingfei explained.

If he's already in a relationship with someone, how can he interact with other girls?

You can only have one lover, but you can have many friends. (not really)

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qinghe smiled but remained silent.

Knowing full well that it's impossible for one person to persuade another, Lu Mingfei said goodbye to Zhou Qinghe in the infirmary and returned to the classroom.

We're back in the classroom.
