"I couldn't refute it; it felt like something she could say."
"Nuwa, I want to know your true feelings. Just tell me boldly, I'm not angry."
"Okay, I'll tell you then."
"Uh-huh."
"Kill him before he fully awakens!" Nuwa's face twisted in rage.
"You seem to be going a bit too far."
"I knew it! You love your brothers more than anyone else!" Nuwa shouted.
"Don't say that. If outsiders hear this, I'll want to eat the purple egg," Lu Mingfei quickly said.
“Oops~” Nuwa stuck out her little tongue.
Nuwa is now a little girl, and her personality has become younger due to hormones, or rather, she is very mischievous.
After some time, when she recovers and returns to her teenage form, she'll be mature and composed... right?
In other words, Nuwa's photobook is now out of print, and the next set will be a thousand years away.
(Ahhhhhh...) (Image of Wu Jing sitting in an electric chair)
Lu Mingfei sighed: "To be honest, I think that Teacher Da Ye and Lao Tang, even if they aren't good people, aren't bad at heart. They've been quite nice to me."
"You said it yourself, it's about you. Your existence has special significance for them, but what about other ordinary people?"
It's not that I'm being extreme, but the Dragon Kings are all gods. They are high above, despise life, and have intentionally or unintentionally killed countless innocent humans at their hands.
Of course, I'm not trying to excuse humanity. Throughout human history, there are countless examples of massacres and genocide, with some people committing atrocities that even the Dragon King would be ashamed of.
Therefore, they should be tried and judged by justice. "Lu Mingfei," Nuwa said, "are you going to excuse them just because Old Tang and that person are your friends?"
“I will stop them from doing bad things,” Lu Mingfei said after thinking for a moment. “Until then, they will still be my friends.”
"What if they fail? They'll still do bad things!" Nuwa persisted.
She hoped that Lu Mingfei could put himself in her shoes and understand that some things are not just a matter of assumption, but rather that there is a 99% chance they will happen.
As the being closest to them, how could Nuwa not understand the Dragon King's character?
“I know you mean well and are trying to warn me,” Lu Mingfei said. “But I believe I can influence Teacher Daye and Lao Tang with my own fists. Nuwa, weren’t you once a dragon too? It’s good that you are a dragon.”
And frankly, extreme situations often occur because one's strength is insufficient. If one's strength were so great that even Dalian World could easily overturn a car, everyone would become obedient.
Nuwa remained silent for a long time, then gave Lu Mingfei a deep look: "You are truly arrogant."
Lu Mingfei scratched his head: "I wouldn't say that. I still hope the world can become a better place, instead of some people causing destruction for some imagined grand mission, and wantonly trampling on the hard-won happiness and peace that others have worked so hard to maintain."
Nuwa remained silent.
If Lu Mingfei's strength were only that of the Grand Elder, or even on par with her, she would definitely laugh at Lu Mingfei's naivety and overestimation of his abilities.
But judging from the potential shown by Lu Mingfei, Nuwa's intuition told her that this guy might really be able to achieve a great reconciliation between the Dragon King and mankind.
When that time actually came, she felt like she was hallucinating from drinking too much soy milk, and that the sun was rising in the west again.
"So you're planning to tell your friend Lao Tang?" Nuwa asked.
"Tell me, hiding this kind of thing will most likely lead to tragedy."
I first tied Old Tang up with a rope, and then gently told him about his background.
"If Old Tang goes berserk, I'll give him a friendly face-breaking punch until his eyes clear up again," Lu Mingfei laughed.
Old Tang, hiding in his room playing video games: Achoo!
He suddenly felt a chill!
Nuwa was speechless, only feeling that this was too shocking.
"Alright, since we already have that example, one more... well, it won't make much difference, Old Tang. If the Dragon King is willing to stand on the side of humanity, that would be even better."
"Even if the Black King is resurrected in the future, humanity won't be without a fighting chance," Nuwa said after thinking for a moment.
"Oh right, the bronze city that Old Tang dreamed of should be the royal city he built himself."
If he regains his memory and leads us to dig up his old grave, the profits should be substantial.
"Hmm, if there's nothing else, I'm going to go and... oh no, I mean, to reform Old Tang."
"Wait, this is for you." Nuwa suddenly and mysteriously stuffed a photo album into Lu Mingfei's hand.
"This is?"
"Promise me you can only watch this when you're alone, and you're not allowed to show it to anyone else," Nuwa said. "This is your travel expense for this business trip. Thank you, Nuwa."
"No, I really have no interest in that kind of thing." Lu Mingfei felt that Nuwa had misunderstood him even more.
Forget it, there's no point in explaining.
He went to find Old Tang and beat him up.
Chapter 143 Is Xia Mi a tsundere...?
"You mean I'm a dragon? Tang Tang's dragon?" Old Tang asked in surprise.
"To be precise, Old Tang, you are the King of Bronze and Fire, one of the eight Dragon Kings, and your real name is Norton," Lu Mingfei corrected.
"The King of Bronze and Fire, that sounds awesome," Old Tang exclaimed excitedly, wriggling on the bed as he looked up and asked, "So, Mingming, can you untie me?"
"I'm just afraid that you won't be able to accept the fact that you're not human, and that you might do something rash."
Lu Mingfei chuckled a few times. Seeing that Old Tang was in a stable mood and showed no signs of dragonification, he stepped forward and untied the dragon-binding rope and dragon-imprisoning lock.
“Mingming, I believe you wouldn’t joke about this… because it’s so ridiculous that it’s actually more convincing.”
"But I don't really feel anything. The name 'Dragon King Norton' doesn't stir any emotion in me." Old Tang sat cross-legged on the bed after being untied, stretching his wrists and neck, and mocked himself.
"Didn't you develop those anti-human and anti-social thoughts that are hard to resolve due to a thousand-year-old hatred?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Is the game not fun anymore, or is the cola not tasty anymore? Why should I make myself unhappy? Brother, life is short, enjoy it while you can, that's my motto!" Old Tang grinned.
Lu Mingfei admired Old Tang's optimism and open-mindedness, and said, "Don't worry, currently, the only people who know your identity as the Dragon King are you, me, and Nuwa, a total of three people."
If you don't tell, I don't tell, and she doesn't tell, no outsider will recognize your identity as the Dragon King.
"What if we get caught?" Old Tang asked curiously.
"We'll probably face endless pursuit and find it hard to find a moment of peace in human society. We won't be able to play games or drink cola," Lu Mingfei said after thinking for a moment.
"It's that serious!" Old Tang said seriously.
His love for games and cola is extraordinary; he's even willing to take out a loan on the condition that his future flight never takes off—his obsession is undeniable.
“I thought that revealing your background would stimulate your memories and make you recall something, but it seems it didn’t work,” Lu Mingfei said.
Old Tang scratched his head: "There's nothing I can do. This is too sudden. It's like someone stopping you on the street and saying that you were Qin Shi Huang in your past life, and that you're worth fifty to him."
I felt no connection whatsoever. My first instinct was that I'd encountered a scammer.
However, I have shown extraordinary physical abilities since I was a child, otherwise I would not have been able to live peacefully in the slums of New York until now.
And there were some gains too; at least I know I have a younger brother, Constantine. Tsk tsk, that name screams "old smoker."
"So, Lao Tang, what are your plans for the future?"
“The situation remains the same,” Old Tang said, resting his head on his hands. “I’m going back to Rongcheng with Mingming. I don’t know why, but the moment I saw you, I knew you were a good friend I could entrust to someone. I don’t feel safe staying with the Zhou family.”
Lu Mingfei was both touched and puzzled by Lao Tang's inexplicable trust. He thought of Teacher Daye, who should be very happy that he had brought back a Dragon King.
Perhaps in a moment of joy, I'll forgive myself?
“I’ll borrow some books from Nuwa’s collection these next few days. There should be some records about the King of Bronze and Fire. Take a look; it might help you recover your memories faster,” Lu Mingfei said.
"Forget it, let nature take its course. If I want to regain my memories, my brain will automatically update itself." Old Tang shook his head.
He thought to himself that since he hadn't regained his memories immediately, it meant that he subconsciously resisted the identity of the Dragon King.
Lu Mingfei was taken aback, then realized that Lao Tang was not as willing to accept it as he appeared on the surface.
Come to think of it, now that his memories have returned, the Dragon King's vast memory and willpower undoubtedly overwhelm the current Old Tang.
If his memories return, will Old Tang still be the same Old Tang?
SP Lao Tang?
It seems that Old Tang, like himself, doesn't want to be treated like a monster.
I won't say much about Teacher Daye.
Lu Mingfei made up his mind.
Next, Lu Mingfei played a few games with Lao Tang to relieve his frustration.
The next day, Lu Mingfei relayed Lao Tang's idea to Nuwa.
Nuwa didn't have much of an opinion on this, only saying that since Lu Mingfei had declared himself in charge, he would keep an eye on Lao Tang and make sure he didn't cause any trouble.
After staying at the Zhou family's house for a few more days, Lu Mingfei figured that Teacher Daye's anger should have subsided, so he returned to Rongcheng with Lao Tang.
Rongcheng, Longwowo.
Since Teacher Daye's true identity is the Dragon King, her lodging can also be called Dragon's Nest.
Lu Mingfei took out his key and opened the door, relieved that Xia Mi hadn't changed the lock.
Old Tang followed behind Lu Mingfei. It was his first time visiting a friend's house, and he was quite reserved, especially knowing that there was a girl in the house.
"What would you like to drink?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Do you have any Coke?" Old Tang asked immediately.
Lu Mingfei opened the refrigerator and found that the vegetables and meat inside had been replaced, indicating that Xia Mi had indeed returned early.
He tossed a can of Coke he had bought earlier to Old Tang, who pulled the tab, gulped down a mouthful, and remarked that the person who invented Coke must have saved the world in a past life.
"By the way, Mingming, did you tell Xia Mi that I was coming to visit?" Old Tang is quite thoughtful.
"Don't worry, I've already informed Teacher Daye in advance."
"Teacher Da Ye? I've been wanting to ask this for a long time, is this a playful nickname between you two?" Old Tang asked curiously.
Lu Mingfei choked for a moment, his eyes darting around as he said, "No."
