However, she was clear about her responsibilities and knew that making Guan Mi happy was her top priority.
Upon learning that the two were going down the mountain, Liu Chongyu kindly arranged a car for them.
Lu Mengdi recently obtained her driver's license. Although her driving skills are still a bit rusty, she has no problem driving short distances.
The Yatoushan base is about 100 kilometers away from the provincial capital. The once barren mountainside has now been covered with a large number of buildings.
Looking out the car window at the rows of buildings, Guan Mi felt a surge of pride.
These buildings serve as offices or residences for the staff at the Yatoushan base. Some of these staff members come from the military, while others come from various government departments. In fact, the vast majority of them are completely unaware of what's on the mountain.
This large area of buildings, along with its living service facilities, already resembles the beginnings of a town.
All of this happened because of the White Dragon!
The car slowly drove through the area.
Seeing the much wider highway, Guan Mi felt a surge of emotion.
When she first moved here from Fallen Dragon Valley with Bai Lin, she remembered that the road was very narrow and there was a section that was full of potholes. She still vividly remembers the bumpy ride. Now, however, it has changed drastically.
The car traveled for dozens of kilometers and arrived at the town closest to Yatou Mountain.
Guan Mi turned his head and saw the bustling construction site next to the town, his feelings becoming even more complicated.
“I heard that it will be completed by the end of the year at the latest!” Lu Mengdi suddenly said.
That place is the Shenlong Kingdom Academy, which is under construction.
“Yes,” Guan Mi smiled, “Sister Lu, I heard your father is also going to teach here?”
Lu Mengdi nodded: "I still benefit from your help."
“It has nothing to do with me,” Guan Mi chuckled. “It’s clearly because of Captain Lei.”
Lu Mengdi didn't shy away from the topic this time, saying, "He helped me a lot."
She was quite certain that if it weren't for Lei Yao, she would still be a switchboard operator in that small county town, helplessly watching the candlelight of her life gradually dim.
Now her body has fully recovered, and her physique is much stronger than those special forces soldiers.
"Then are you going to repay me with your body?" Guan Mi blinked.
Lu Mengdi laughed and said, "What era are we living in now? This kind of thing is outdated!"
"So, you'd be reborn as a cow or a horse in the next life?" Guan Mi asked mischievously.
Lu Mengdi didn't hide her feelings from her, saying, "He's always been outstanding. A girl from the next class liked him back in high school..."
"Compared to him, I am only better at studying, and I am much more ordinary in other aspects. When I found out that he was also on the mountain and that my coming here was related to him, I felt like I was dreaming."
“How could I not like someone like that? It’s just that he’s too dense,” she said, laughing. “If he weren’t so dense, he probably would have been snatched up by someone else long ago!”
Guan Mi felt a sweet scent permeating the air, and her eyebrows curved into a smile.
"And you," Lu Mengdi asked, "what kind of woman does Xiao Guan like?"
Guan Mi insisted that she call him "Xiao Guan," and at first she was a little embarrassed, but now she's used to it.
Upon hearing Lu Mengdi's words, Guan Mi's eyes became confused. After thinking for several seconds, she said, "Maybe I don't like people!"
Don't like people?
Lu Mengdi was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses.
She had guessed the answer, but she didn't expect Guan Mi to be so direct.
She glanced at Guan Mi discreetly, thinking to herself that this girl looked cute and adorable, but she never expected her hobbies to be so perverse.
……
Chapter 131 Is this something a human could do?
Lu Mengdi pondered for a moment and said, "Legendary dragons can transform into anything, so they can also transform into humans, right?"
How could nine strangely shaped dragon sons be born without constant transformation?
Guan Mi stared blankly ahead: "I just like being with Mr. Bai..."
She felt that this was different from the feelings between men and women, at least it wasn't love.
She also had strong evidence: "Mr. Bai always treated me like a child!"
Lu Mengdi shook her head inwardly, thinking to herself that those involved are often blinded by their own perspective.
Although she had no romantic experience, she enjoyed reading various novels to numb herself during her time in bed, so she had quite a lot of knowledge.
However, there was one thing she felt Guan Mi was right about.
Bai Long doted on her, but his attitude was more like that of a junior, so much so that when she saw the two of them interacting, it was like seeing a father and daughter or a grandfather and grandson.
It just seems that Guan Mi's filial piety has become somewhat distorted.
Guan Mi quickly pulled herself out of that mood and asked with great interest, "Do you think Mr. Bai can really turn into a human?"
“Isn’t that how it is in mythology?” Lu Mengdi said. “The ability to summon wind and rain, to control clouds and rain, isn’t that something only dragons in mythology can possess?”
"And cultivation!" Her tone was slightly impassioned.
She still finds it unbelievable when the topic comes up.
If it were just a dragon that could summon wind and rain, it wouldn't have shocked her so much.
But the cultivation methods that the white dragon knew, and the relics that he had unearthed that had been buried underground for thousands or tens of thousands of years, completely overturned the history of this world, making mythology no longer mythology!
She could see that tremendous changes were already taking place on this planet!
Guan Mi suddenly started grinning foolishly, as if something had occurred to him.
Seeing Lu Mengdi looking over, she quickly put on a stern face: "Sister Lu, watch where you're going!"
Lu Mengdi found it funny, but also felt a sense of anticipation.
What would it be like if the white dragon could really become a human one day?
But can it really turn into a human?
She couldn't be sure either, since not all dragons in mythology can transform into human form.
……
Su Nan knew that her brother would one day regain his human form.
Some time ago, he went to a meeting at the higher-ups. During a meal, he overheard a conversation among some people. When they mentioned that the higher-ups had asked them to collect tales of the strange and supernatural from various places, he guessed that it was related to his elder brother.
Later, he contacted his brother through the magical artifact in the Niwan Palace and confirmed his guess.
To his delight, his brother, who had almost resigned himself to his fate and planned to give up and become a mere dragon, found a direction for cultivation and had hope of regaining his human form.
Looking at the raging flood in front of him, he suddenly wondered if everything could disappear in an instant if his brother were here.
He was at that time in the mountainous area on the outskirts of Yancheng.
Days of torrential rain caused flash floods, turning several villages and towns into waterlogged areas.
The disaster relief task was assigned to various ministries and agencies, and Su Nan volunteered and was sent here.
The heavy rain has stopped, but the light drizzle shows no sign of stopping.
Looking at the surging floodwaters before him, with chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, pots and pans, and even some vehicles floating in the water, he felt quite uneasy.
If he had the ability, he would be happy to put an end to all of this, but unfortunately, he was powerless in the face of such a natural disaster.
The Party Secretary beside him was explaining the disaster situation to him.
"The disaster affected three townships and six villages upstream and downstream. Evacuation was organized before the dike breached, and there are currently no casualties..."
He stopped abruptly halfway through his speech.
Su Nan was puzzled, noticing that he was looking into the distance.
"There's someone in that car!" someone exclaimed.
Su Nan stared intently and saw a black sedan bobbing up and down in the floodwaters.
Through the sunroof on the car roof, a person with half their body sticking out was calling for help.
The sound of the water was so loud that it made his voice sound faint and distant.
As the floodwaters rose, less and less of the car remained above water.
He silently estimated that the distance between this place and that person was close to 100 meters.
If we notify rescue workers now, we will most likely only receive one body.
Su Nan stopped thinking about it and started taking off her clothes on the spot.
The Party Secretary was taken aback by his appearance and asked in confusion, "Director Su, what's wrong?"
Su Nan had already stuffed the clothes she had taken off into his arms, said "Keep an eye on them for me," and then leaped into the murky floodwaters.
The group was startled.
The secretary was so frightened he almost jumped down after him.
Even before Su Nan arrived, he had inquired about her background and learned that she was extremely powerful, rumored to be the illegitimate son of a high-ranking official and highly valued.
Therefore, he made a special trip here to accompany them personally.
If anything were to happen to him, he felt he would lose his head.
He hurriedly ordered reinforcements, even hesitating whether to take a risky gamble, but looking at the raging floodwaters, he was afraid of losing his life and ultimately didn't dare to do it.
Just as the secretary was frantic, like an ant on a hot pan, he suddenly heard his secretary exclaim, "Secretary, look!"
The secretary followed his gaze and saw a thick wooden stake drift past Su Nan.
Before he could even catch his breath, he saw a dead pig rapidly drifting downstream, appearing right in front of Su Nan.
As the distance between them rapidly closed, Su Nan was so focused on swimming forward that he didn't notice anything amiss, and his heart was in his throat.
However, something incredible happened soon afterward.
With a casual flick of his wrist, Su Nan pushed the dead pig that was about to crash into him several meters away.
Was it just a flimsy piece of pigskin?
Still relying on the power of the water flow...
The secretary, a graduate of one of the top universities in the Great Xia Dynasty, quickly considered the scientific basis for this action.
His secretary's words suddenly reminded him: "How can Director Su be so fast? Even a world champion couldn't match him!"
The secretary came to his senses.
He discovered that in just over ten seconds, Su Nan had already swum to the car that was submerged in the water.
Only then did he realize that in the raging flood, Su Nan had swum straight to the car without being affected by the current.
Suddenly remembering the recent rumors about the Divine Dragon Academy, his expression became increasingly suspicious.
When he saw Su Nan actually swimming back while dragging the car, his mind went blank.
Is this something a human could do?
He then thought of Watanabe Ichijo from the island nation.
This guy, who supposedly survived a nuclear explosion unscathed, has become an internet sensation, attracting global attention and being dubbed a modern-day Superman.
Many people suspect that he used a human enhancement drug like the one in the movie Captain America, while others speculate that his strength is related to nuclear radiation, just like Godzilla, since many people have witnessed him emerge from the ruins of a nuclear explosion.
Looking at Su Nan in the water, the secretary thought of that guy from the island nation, and then thought of the Shenlong Kingdom Academy that had been very popular in small circles recently, and a strong intuition arose in his heart.
Could these three things be related?
……
Su Nan saved three people.
A family of three was trapped in their car. Despite being told not to cross the bridge in the rain, they were swept away by the floodwaters.
He knew he might be exposed, but he felt it was all worth it to save three lives.
Listening to the three people expressing their gratitude, and seeing the officials, who had previously been both ingratiating and somewhat hostile towards him, become more sincere than ever before, Su Nan felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.
Bai Lin learned of this news twenty days later.
