Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 256 Mission: 04-2 A Little Trouble
Confession? Zhao Menghua? Lu Mingfei's rusty reflexes took him half a second to realize who he was going to confess to, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

From his perspective of having been rejected, it seemed that nothing he said would be appropriate.

After hesitating for a long time, Lu Mingfei uttered two words with some difficulty: "Then you..."

"I think he'll accept it."

It looked like this was Chen Wenwen's choice. It was a good choice. Zhao Menghua was the most generous young man in the class, and Lu Mingfei had been grateful to him for covering his internet bill several times. He was also handsome and had good grades, so he should be able to apply to the same university as Chen Wenwen.

This is what they call a match made in heaven, and it's not the turn of other monsters to make comments.

"Then... congratulations." Lu Mingfei said dryly.

"Yeah." Chen Wenwen nodded, "So I'm sorry, I can't help you."

What do you mean by "not helping"? Does it have to wait until Lu Mingfei is stepped on by Zhao Menghua to be called "not helping"? Chen Wenwen is now Zhao Menghua's "prospective girlfriend", and she is willing to tell Lu Mingfei about this privately, which is already a kind act.

"No, no." So Lu Mingfei shook his head to signal Chen Wenwen not to take it to heart, but he was still a little unconvinced in his heart.

"But I...is there no other way?"

"Of course."

Chen Wenwen's answer invigorated Lu Mingfei, but the method she proposed had no chance of success. "Go confess your feelings to Su Xiaoqiang now and ask her to be your girlfriend. That way, you and Zhao Menghua won't be competitors anymore, and he won't embarrass you anymore."

Yeah, becoming Su Xiaoqiang's boyfriend or girlfriend is a good idea, but unfortunately it's unrealistic.

"Then it sounds like pretending to be sick is more feasible."

Lu Mingfei sighed and nodded, "I understand. As for the details... I'll think about it myself."

"Well, that's it."

"Okay, tomorrow—wait."

Lu Mingfei was about to wave goodbye when a thought suddenly occurred to him: Su Xiaoqiang's love for Zhao Menghua was well known; after all, she had once publicly announced it by inviting all the girls in her class to dinner. If Zhao Menghua planned to confess her feelings at the party—

It seems that Lu Mingfei is not the only one who makes a fool of himself.

"Su Xiaoqiang doesn't know about this yet?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Yeah." Chen Wenwen smiled lightly: "That's why I hesitated to tell you this. But don't you and Su Xiaoqiang also get along? So I guess you won't tell her."

Good man, it seems that Chen Wenwen has a bit of a sinister heart. It's a pity that Lu Mingfei found out about this a little too late.

"What if I tell her?" Lu Mingfei asked cautiously.

"Then my revenge would have failed if she believed you. Will you tell me?"

The moral burden now fell on Lu Mingfei. If he told the truth, it would be a disclosure of personal privacy, something Lu Mingfei couldn't do. If he didn't, he wouldn't feel bad about just watching Su Xiaoqiang embarrass himself. Looking at Chen Wenwen, whose smile was as gentle as a lotus flower, Lu Mingfei hesitated after a fierce mental struggle and said, "I won't tell you... probably."

"After all, she's not your girlfriend."

This made Lu Mingfei a little confused. Chen Wenwen explained: "If she is really your girlfriend, I would have told her even if you didn't say it."

Indeed, it was the same principle Zhao Menghua used to punish Lu Mingfei: a love rival was an enemy, and there was no need to hold back. Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh, "Love is indeed war," and silently mourned for Su Xiaoqiang, who was still completely unaware of this. But upon closer inspection, his feud with Su Xiaoqiang stemmed from a similar reason. Su Xiaoqiang, whose family literally owned a mine, was known as the "Little Goddess." A goddess would never accept the pity of a mortal, no matter how badly she'd lost.

"That's it then." Having said what she needed to say, Chen Wenwen gently waved to Lu Mingfei: "See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow." Lu Mingfei replied.

The two said goodbye on the riverbank and went home. However, on the way home, Lu Mingfei felt more and more that something was wrong. No, he, Lu Mingfei, had officially joined Kassel Academy and seemed to be a superhuman after all. How could he not do anything to Zhao Menghua?

Where's the promised Word Spirit? Why hasn't it appeared yet?
So after returning home, Lu Mingfei opened the chat with Nero for the first time in a long time. After deleting and revising it several times, he finally sent the first message after a month.

"sorry."

""

The other party replied immediately, which seemed to indicate that he was probably idle. Although it was surprising that an apology suddenly came after a month without any incident, the question mark was still a little too concise. Lu Mingfei couldn't read the other party's thoughts, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to reply: "I'm so sorry about what happened last time."

"Last time?"

The first two words that appeared were: "Lu Mingfei hadn't replied yet, but Nero seemed to have figured out what was going on by the time he pressed enter: "Oh, that thing? So you haven't apologized yet."

"I accept it. This matter is over."

Seeing this series of three messages, Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief and then started typing to start the main topic of today: "Okay. I want to ask, how can I know if my Word Spirit has awakened?"

The message was sent, but there was no reply for a long time, not even a "the other party is typing" prompt. Lu Mingfei couldn't help but worry that Nero would leave immediately after replying.

But he didn't dare to send a new message to ask. What if he pushed the latest message over and Nero saw it and thought he had nothing to do and had just left it alone? So he could only wait.

Finally, Nero replied.

"First, there was a clairvoyance."

she says.

"Then, through the vision, you should spontaneously 'recall' a passage of text. That is your Word Spirit."

"Memories, huh?"

"Yes, Dragon Language is a memory passed down through blood, so it's called recalling. Haven't you experienced something similar yet?"

Seeing this message, Lu Mingfei's hand hovered over the keyboard. After a moment, he typed a reply: "Yes."

"Maybe the last time your clairvoyance wasn't strong enough. You can wait until you enter the academy to see again."

Nero's proposal made perfect sense. It was normal for awakening to slow down in an environment devoid of superhumans. Lu Mingfei knew he wasn't a normal person, having only lived less than one percent of his life. Once he entered the academy and found his surroundings, awakening should naturally accelerate.

The environment is very important. This is why the fastest place to learn a foreign language is in a foreign country.

But the problem is that Lu Mingfei now... needs the Word Spirit urgently.
