Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Doesn’t Want to Become a Night City Legend

Chapter 120 Dark Christmas

"So, I said these people just have nothing to do after eating!"

In the Kassel cafeteria, a young man wearing a felt hat, sunglasses, and a mask was using both hands to argue fiercely with the two people in front of him.

"What confession?! Didn't we just plan to go out together for Christmas?!"

"What wedding?! Do they have to help me think of a name for the baby? Speaking of which, Boss and Senior Brother, do you think it's better to name the girl Lu Yaodi or Lu Hanxin?"

Chu Zihang and Caesar Gattuso ate their own lunch and glanced at the densely populated crowd around them.

Caesar: "Lu Mingfei, before that, didn't you feel that your outfit was completely useless in hiding?"

Chu Zihang: "It was exposed when you chose to eat at the same table with us, so, can you eat alone at noon today?"

"So heartless! Senior brother is so heartless!"

Lu Mingfei, whose head was covered with various props, shouted, "She's always so caring about me! Ah! Could it be that~~~"

Lu Mingfei suddenly sat down, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, but his body movements actually revealed a hint of queenly laziness and nobility.

He tilted his face and supported himself with his hands.

"Brother, are you jealous that I found a girlfriend first?" He spoke in a deliberately magnetic voice.

"I've been wanting to complain since a while ago. You're even more anxious than those people who are stirring up trouble. You've even started thinking of a name for our daughter." Caesar took a bite of mashed potatoes. "How happy are you?"

"That's right! That's why I'm not happy! That's why I'm not happy!"

Lu Mingfei's face turned red and he became anxious. He immediately slammed the table and stood up.

If the mercenaries in Night City saw that their legend had a dull love life and looked like a little chef, they would probably be disappointed.

But as the saying goes, when one is well fed and warm, he will think about sex. Lu Mingfei is now in a state of being both well fed and warm.

He solved the big troubles in Night City and repaid his benefactor's kindness.

His career at Dragon Clan was flourishing, and he even found time to ace his final exams.

Now is the best time to be 'lustful'!

Lu Mingfei had heard a saying.

Basically, all living things will naturally produce emotions that need to be passed on to their offspring when they are "on the verge of death". Sometimes, this emotion will remain until it is "biosafe" and then be transmitted to the brain at several times the value.

So, how many times did Lu Mingfei come close to death?

Well, the calculation time is over, and the results are announced——

The answer is countless times.

Therefore, hormones, genes, and biological instincts were urging Lu Mingfei to pass on his genes immediately! Damn immediately!
"Spring is here!"

Caesar looked at Lu Mingfei like that, and although he had some complaints, he did not object. He just quietly turned down the invitation from the beautiful girl in the student union that was originally prepared for Lu Mingfei.

"It seems like only you and I will be able to spend Christmas together." Caesar turned to look at Chu Zihang.

Chu Zihang also turned to look at him, "Are you interested in kendo?"

"Stop saying things that spoil the mood."
-
And on the other side——

"You're kidding me?! You just succeeded like that!?!?!"

Inside the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago.

The woman holding the computer immediately tilted her head back and made a sharp sound like a rodent.

"What's going on! Sanwu girl! What on earth did you do?! Our alert little white rabbit actually gave in like this!?"

Su Enxi, also known as the Potato Chip Girl, was jumping on the big bed in the hotel with her laptop in her arms, and kept exclaiming.

And in the communication channel of the laptop in front of her, a woman marked as [Zero] gave a bland response.

I didn't do anything, I just invited you.

"You must be kidding!~~"

Su Enxi raised her head again, but this time with a smile on her face.

"Eh~~~ Could it be that our little white rabbit really likes you, the three-no thing? He doesn't like the butt, he doesn't like the breasts, he just likes the comfort of holding him in your arms? It really fits his herbivorous personality~"

"Ah~~ Wait, what about the long legs?"

Su Enxi suddenly jumped, and lay on the bed like a toad, then winked at her computer screen and moved her lips left and right.

"Hey! Long legs! Why aren't you talking? Is the internet down?"

"Hey~~ But, look~~ Long Legs also likes our little white rabbit. Are you also interested in him? If you two really fall in love, ah well, wouldn't it turn into a brutal fight between us sisters? Wow, wow, wow, it's really-"

So delicious.

Su Enxi's face looked even more annoying than a WWE wrestler's at this moment, and she even stuck out her tongue and made a face.

However.
【Su Enxi.】

【Su Enxi.】

The voices of Zero, Mai Jude, and Mai Shude, who usually had no particular emotional fluctuations, came from the computer. The content was just repeating the real name of the potato chip girl, but this made the latter suddenly shudder, and she didn't even have time to eat the potato chips.

"Ahem! I'm sorry everyone, I, I didn't mean it."

【Um. 】

【This way, the plan can continue.】

"Ah~ah~Yes, of course."

Su Enxi's voice also began to become serious. "Send Lu Mingfei, Caesar, and Chu Zihang away from Castle on Christmas Day. Get these three psychopaths out of school, then sneak into Castle and [steal Constantine's alchemy jar and wake him up]."

"Now that the boss's plan has achieved zero success, there is no obstacle at all."

Su Enxi's tone was a little teasing.

"Well, let's review the mission."

A more serious look appeared on her face as she slowly spoke, "Our mission objective is to infiltrate Kassel Academy on Christmas Day, using any method, and then detonate Constantine's alchemy tank, causing the Dragon King to rampage in the center of Kassel."

"In order to achieve this goal, we must transfer at least one of [Caesar], [Chu Zihang], and [Lu Mingfei] away from Kassel."

"If it can be fully realized, that would be the best. If not, at least we should get Lu Mingfei out."

While Su Enxi was typing on the computer and confirming the process, the audio of Jude Mai's avatar in front of her computer jumped slightly.

What should I do about Ange? I can't handle that old man. Is the boss going to be eliminated?

"I don't know, but don't worry." Su Enxi scratched her head. "The boss said we don't need to worry about that guy. He won't interfere with our operations."

"The other students in Cassel are also a mob."

"Your mission is to sneak into the cellar and bring Constantine and the dragon out with the jar."

"After that, we will bring Lu Mingfei back to Kassel at the right time."

"The Dragon King is rebellious, and the academy has suffered heavy casualties."

"With Lu Mingfei's current strength, all he can do is follow the boss's script."

"This time."

"Our little white rabbit doesn't have a choice."
-
Right to choose?
pat.

When Zero turned off his phone, blue light leaked from between his fingers onto the bed.

The charger plug dangled from the edge of the bed, casting a shadow of snow outside the window, shattering into specks of light at her ankles. Her long platinum hair covered the folds of the pillow, the ends of which were entangled with a faded blue ribbon.

She had been hunched over for some time, her knees drawn up to her chest, her wool socks pilling at her heels.

My nails scratched the edge of the phone case unconsciously, and memories began to turn into burning letters spreading behind my mind.

[Lu Mingfei, are you free on Christmas? I want to ask you out.]

[Okay, no problem, it's just a piece of cake]

Aren't you nervous?

He had indeed forgotten all the past.
The words were burning beneath the fabric now, scalding the back of her neck through the down filling.

He really should have forgotten.

Just like he said, that would be better for Lu Mingfei.

As long as Lu Mingfei follows his script, there is no doubt that he will have a happy ending. It may not be perfect, but at least there is something worth paying attention to.

For this reason, even if it means deceiving him, I can do it.

You can deprive him of his right to choose, and you can do it yourself.

做得
The cold wind that came in through the window rustled the curtains, and the snow grains made a fine rustling sound on the glass. She buried her face deeper in her arms, and her nose touched the amber button on her cuff.

".Face."

The girl talked to herself.

That face.

That nonchalant face when he was called to the classroom door.

There was no reflection of his own figure in the familiar eyes on that face.

If I deceived him
From now on, will there no longer be my own shadow?
"."

Titer.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared on the phone.

Are you hesitating?

"."

Zero closed his eyes but still picked up the phone.

【Zero: No, I will carry out the mission.】

「It’s just as agreed~────But, if I tell you that my instructions to you are no longer my orders, what will you do?」

Zero's body trembled, and his right fingertips unconsciously rubbed the inside of his left wrist.

【Zero: What do you mean?】

[Literally, I'll bet on a sure-win situation, but even I wouldn't rashly go all in without knowing the outcome.]

If you have any ideas, you can do it.

[I don't understand our little white rabbit anymore. Maybe he's right compared to me.]

【Zero: This is different from what we agreed on.】

[Well, after all, I don’t understand it myself~]

【Which side is right?】

Which side is more beneficial to him?

So I leave it to you~Keep going~

A burning pain like Futega's surged in Zero's throat. She wanted to say more, but the user no longer responded.

The girl's waistline was just like a bowed string under her nightgown, ready to burst into energy, and then slowly relaxed in the next wave of howling wind and snow.
-
"Brother, what do you think of this dress?"

【Kassel.Men's dormitory】

Lu Mingfei was in the dormitory, looking at himself in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, struggling with how to dress like a little girl.

In fact, his figure can be said to be thin when dressed and muscular when undressed. His temperament has also changed a lot, and the sense of aging between his eyebrows has faded to the point of being barely noticeable.

But when Lu Mingfei looked at himself in the mirror, he still couldn't guarantee it.

It's much better than before. If it were the old Lu Mingfei, he would probably look at himself in the mirror and marvel at himself, talk sweetly, and then become listless when he arrived at the date.

Now, Lu Mingfei at least affirms his own efforts.

"Alright, buddy, you should realize that you're a handsome guy." Finger waved his hand on the bed, expressing his approval. "Rather than that, why not research the other person's background before the date and use your invincible magnetic field to think of a solution?"

"Um"

Lu Mingfei hesitated. "I read her blog and stuff, but it's really useless. I don't play with that."

"Then use your abilities to investigate her. Hehe, let me tell you, those cold girls usually have the most secrets behind their backs~"

Finkel played the keyboard and spoke seemingly casually.

"."

Lu Mingfei pursed his lips.

He did not directly answer Fingel's question, nor did he actually use the Word Spirit to investigate Zero.

"It's fine"

Although there is no reason.

but.
“I feel like she’s a good person.”

"as long as you are happy."

Finkel shrugged, then turned over and threw the bottle in his hand to Lu Mingfei.

"But don't forget this."

Snapped!
Lu Mingfei took it and looked at the label in confusion.

【Yida】

"This is?"

"What if I need to use it~ It's a bad experience to kiss my lips right after eating~"

"."

I won’t use it——
Soon, it was Christmas Day.

The building is decorated with white snow, and it has a fairy-tale-like charm. A huge Christmas wreath is hung on the bell tower, and the pine needles and red fruits complement each other, which is bright and eye-catching.

The golden bell in the center of the wreath swayed gently in the breeze, making a crisp and pleasant sound. The trees on both sides of the main road were wrapped in colorful lights, winding from the roots to the treetops.

On such a day, Lu Mingfei spent about thirty minutes in the boys' dormitory asking Finkel to help him dress up before he went out and arrived in downtown Chicago.

They arrived at the agreed location fifteen minutes early, but the person Lu Mingfei was waiting for arrived even earlier.

The girl named Zero was petite, wrapped in a brown woolen coat that contrasted with her fair, almost transparent skin.

Her face was so delicate as if it was carved by the finest craftsman. On her palm-sized face, her eyes were like a deep icy lake, clear and cold, and her long silver hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall.

The collar of the coat was raised high, cleverly surrounding her slender neck, revealing only her delicate chin and beautifully contoured lips. Her lips were slightly pursed, with a faint pink hue, adding a perfect touch of color to the plain white.

She stood quietly at the door of the lighting store. People around her hurried past with festive joy. All kinds of gorgeous lights flowed on her body, but could not melt her ice-crystal-like coldness.

It's like a fairy from the world of ice and snow who accidentally broke into this lively human festival, but still maintains its uniqueness and alienation.

Lu Mingfei felt for no reason that he was very familiar with this feeling of alienation, but without giving it too much thought, he took the initiative to step forward.

"Sorry, I'm late."

"No, I came too early."

Zero shook his head slightly.

"Then——can you follow my plan?"

"Ah."

that's it--

A Christmas filled with deception and concealment has begun.
