Lu Mingfei, why are you slaying dragons if you're not involved!

Chapter 95 The Battle of the Supremes! Even the Great Dao has been obliterated (4.1k)

Once the car doors closed, the noise from the outside world and the night breeze were completely shut out.

The vast world was compressed into this small space. The awkward bumps and burning embarrassment under the streetlights had not yet dissipated, and were made even more viscous by this shrinking, enclosed space.

The awkwardness hung heavy in the air, making one feel uneasy, yet subconsciously reluctant to leave.

The back seat space was clearly quite spacious, but Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang still leaned against each other, precisely because of the reason, "If you don't have the strength, I'll help you."

In this stillness, it was as if we were connected, and every slight movement, heartbeat, and even the faintest breath could be felt more easily, even becoming synchronized.

Su Xiaoqiang and Lu Mingfei both noticed this strange change.

However, these two rivals, who had been arguing like firecrackers whenever they met for the past two and a half years, now seemed to have lost their tempers and remained silent.

Both of them were facing away from the center, looking out of the car, as if they had never seen the countless towering steel and concrete structures and neon lights before, finding them particularly novel.

Aunt Zhang, sitting in the driver's seat, kept glancing back through the rearview mirror, and the frequency was increasing... She almost wanted to shout out, "You two, talk to each other! I won't feel at ease until you say a few words!"

What's with this feeling of "an awkward silence after the passion has subsided, but the experience was so good that I don't mind being close to you"? Didn't you guys bump into each other at the gym, or does it also run a hotel?

But no matter how intense her inner thoughts were, as a competent driver and bodyguard, she would never say it out loud at this moment.

Around 10 p.m., traffic was sparse. After passing a BMW, a large open area appeared on the elevated road ahead. No driver could resist such road conditions, so Aunt Zhang gently pressed the accelerator and slowly accelerated.

The change in speed was extremely slight and gradual to the touch, but the visual feedback was extremely obvious—the scenery outside the car began to rush past.

Lu Mingfei was interrupted from his reverie by this change. He realized he couldn't remain silent any longer, so he thought of a topic. He cleared his throat and asked.

"Um... what was it you said you were going to tell me earlier?"

For some reason, I couldn't bring myself to say the name Su Xiaoqiang, as if it would sound too distant... Given that the two of us were practically in close contact, separated only by several layers of clothing, that was clearly not an option.

For the past two and a half years, that's how it's been called. Now that it needs to be changed all at once, Lu Mingfei really can't think of a suitable word to use in a short period of time.

"Oh...did that guy named Ye Sheng contact you?"

Su Xiaoqiang remained stubbornly gazing out the window, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Senior Brother Ye Sheng? I've been looking for him..."

Lu Mingfei answered subconsciously.

"Ye Sheng..."

Su Xiaoqiang, who had been looking at the scenery outside the car window, slowly turned her head and looked at Lu Mingfei seriously. "Senior brother?"

She paused, her beautiful, bright eyes now sharp with a keen eye: "I had no recollection of him before. He probably didn't attend Shilan Middle School, right? But you called him 'senior brother'... Are you in cahoots?"

"Forehead……"

Lu Mingfei was sweating profusely. He never expected that a casual way of addressing someone would lead Su Xiaoqiang to discover so much information!
"Is it possible that he was my senior in elementary school...?"

“Those seasoned, seasoned entrepreneurs and business owners who have worked for many years can't fool me even when they lie over the phone, so don't even think about making excuses in front of me.”

Su Xiaoqiang approached with a smile, and Lu Mingfei subconsciously shrank into the corner, but the space in the car was only so big, where could he hide?

Cornered, he could only turn his head to look to the side.

Su Xiaoqiang whispered in his ear like an old man teasing a young girl, so close that Lu Mingfei could clearly feel the warmth of her breath, and the inexplicable "perfume scent" enveloped him.

“I know a little about them. Your senior brother Ye Sheng came to our door and took some documents. You don’t need to tell me the details, just nod or shake your head. That way, it won’t be considered a leak.”

"..."

Lu Mingfei nodded dazedly, but he was still clear about right and wrong. He would never respond to anything that was truly confidential!

But Su Xiaoqiang's interest in dragons seemed to end there. Her next question suddenly shifted, "So, your sudden hard work and significant progress, is it also because of... that place?"

Lu Mingfei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He shook his head. What did it matter to him if he knew that Lu Mingfei was a mixed-race person? If it weren't for the threat of electric shocks from the schedule, even if he really knew, he would still just laze around and do nothing!
Su Xiaoqiang opened her head a little with satisfaction, as if that was all the questions she wanted to ask from the beginning.

"You...you must not be curious, you must stay away from these things."

Lu Mingfei had no idea how much information Su Xiaoqiang had gleaned from his nodding and shaking of his head.

This pretty girl is outrageously intelligent, but being too smart isn't always a good thing, because intelligence means being easily driven by uncontrollable curiosity, which leads to exploration... but when facing dangerous creatures like dragons and Deadpool, this can only bring disastrous consequences.

"Are you concerned about me?" Su Xiaoqiang curled the corners of her lips, blinked at him with a half-smile.

"I'm not kidding."

Lu Mingfei frowned. He had regained some strength; at least he could move one arm now. To show his serious attitude, he raised his hand and tugged at Su Xiaoqiang.

He didn't use much force, but Su Xiaoqiang hadn't expected this at all. Caught off guard, the already extremely close distance shrank again, and the girl's head leaned closer, returning to the level of whispering in his ear.

This time, however, Lu Mingfei didn't turn his head to the side because he wanted to talk to Su Xiaoqiang... so the two of them were facing each other!

I almost actually encountered it; I could easily feel the warmth of its breath.

Su Xiaoqiang's face flushed red instantly, and she became unusually shy, as if her previous bold "teasing" had not come from her at all.

However, she didn't back away, because with such a close distance and facing each other directly, the distraction of the hairstyle that ruined everything was eliminated, and Lu Mingfei's facial features were clearly visible again, presented to her in their most authentic form.

Each stroke is like a sketch in one's heart.

"It's... unbelievably beautiful."

As Su Xiaoqiang thought about it, she became even more certain of the action plan she had arranged for tomorrow.

Everything that happened today was indeed just an accident.

"Promise me, okay?" Lu Mingfei looked at Su Xiaoqiang.

That wasn't asking; it was seeking a commitment.

"I... I never intended to ask about those things. Do you think I don't understand the saying that curiosity killed the cat?"

Su Xiaoqiang answered softly, her eyes becoming somewhat unfocused, "But what about you? You're also connected to them, should I stay away from you too?"

Lu Mingfei was taken aback; this straightforward and undisguised attack struck him right to the heart!

Coming to his senses, he realized just how close and intimate the two of them were... He turned his head away somewhat awkwardly.

“I just accidentally snuck in… Can you imagine a husky getting mixed up with a pack of wolves?” he muttered.

A not-at-all direct answer.

But Su Xiaoqiang understood. The girl chuckled softly, blushed slightly, and turned her head to look at the other side.

The two were still standing next to each other as before, but for some reason, the distance between them seemed even closer.

From the driver's seat, Aunt Zhang witnessed the entire interaction between the two, but since she didn't hear what they were saying, she quietly stepped on the gas.

If we don't hurry, this situation where "the pig is in love and the vegetable is interested"... is very dangerous, not just a little dangerous!

...The Mercedes-Benz S500 slowly came to a stop in front of No. 2, Sunny Street, California.

"Are you sure you want me to help you in?" Su Xiaoqiang looked at Lu Mingfei with that ambiguous smile again.

"Could you please take care of the patient?"

Lu Mingfei looked weak and helpless, and said pitifully.

With the continued effect of [Stamina Recovery], he has actually recovered to the point where he can barely walk on his own.

However, he still pretended to be weak... It wasn't that he wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to the girl, but rather that he felt that since he was already here, he might as well let Su Xiaoqiang take him inside.

The same decision as last night—we'll keep increasing the bomb's yield; the sooner we detonate it, the better!
"I have no idea what you've been training for... I remember the day before yesterday, you did a full three hours of strength training, mostly to failure sets, and even that didn't get you to this extent, did it?"

Su Xiaoqiang shook her head, but still waved her hand to indicate that Aunt Zhang did not need to come forward. She then took Lu Mingfei's arm and, as before, led him towards the door.

Under the moon, there was no wind.

This was Lu Mingfei's fifth time walking this route, but never before had his heart been beating so fast, and he felt so nervous.

For a moment, he even regretted it a little... Should he just let Su Xiaoqiang go back?
Before he could even come to a conclusion, Su Xiaoqiang had already driven him through the front yard and arrived at the gate.

All his chaotic thoughts vanished, and Lu Mingfei suddenly calmed down. With the attitude of "since I'm already here," he took out his keys from his pocket.

Since things have come to this, let's open the door.

Insert the key into the lock and turn it.

Actually, you could just turn the doorknob without a key... but Lu Mingfei just instinctively reached for it.

The door opened, revealing a scene identical to the one from the previous night, with the aroma of nuts and hot drinks filling the air.

Su Xiaoqiang helped Lu Mingfei in.

So, Zero, who was still sitting upright on the sofa, turned his head to the side.

"came back?"

If Lu Mingfei hadn't been absolutely certain that he was being supported by Su Xiaoqiang at this moment... he probably would have thought he had entered some kind of time loop, because it was almost exactly the same as last night!
But things changed quickly—Ling got up and walked towards them. Even though her close and somewhat intimate contact with Su Xiaoqiang was clearly visible, she remained expressionless and even her tone was indifferent.

"Thank you for bringing him back."

She nodded slightly to Su Xiaoqiang, and then, like a wife waiting at home for her husband to be brought home from a social engagement, she naturally reached out to take off Lu Mingfei's coat.

Simply impeccable!
"It should."

Su Xiaoqiang replied with a faint smile. She was surprisingly calm, as if she was not surprised at all that Ling had appeared in Lu Mingfei's villa. She even helped Ling take off Lu Mingfei's coat.

Lu Mingfei stood frozen, numb, like a scarecrow at the mercy of the two girls... It was just a simple conversation, but the effect it had was more terrifying than a sword fight.

This is the real duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue! At the Forbidden City's summit, a battle of sword masters! But the true fight hasn't even begun yet; what we just heard were those two classic lines—

"You came."

"Yes, I'm coming."

The two of them hung their coats on the hanger at the same time... Lu Mingfei felt that this could not continue. He had underestimated the power of the battle between the two supreme beings. The Great Dao was about to be destroyed. He couldn't even stand the momentum of their conversation before the battle officially started!

"I think... I have some strength again."

As the next step, taking off his shoes, approached, Lu Mingfei chose to squat down and do it himself.

Being served by both Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue at the same time? I'm neither Emperor Lu nor Lu Xiaofeng with the "Lingxi Finger" skill; I'm not worthy of such treatment!
The air fell silent for a moment.

Ling looked at Su Xiaoqiang quietly: "Sit down, would you like something to eat?"

Su Xiaoqiang looked down at Ling, her gaze sweeping over the exquisitely beautiful girl, who resembled a Barbie doll... She couldn't help but admire the girl's beauty.

But she still can't compare to herself; she just has that confidence!
"No need, I have something to do."

Su Xiaoqiang smiled, looked around at the interior of the villa, and suddenly asked, "Ling, how much did you spend to rent a room here?"

"Ten thousand US dollars."

Ling replied casually, "There's also personal tutoring."

"It's not expensive."

Su Xiaoqiang patted Lu Mingfei, who was still squatting on the ground as if searching for gaps in the floor tiles, "Get up, where's the spare key?"

"Ah... ah?"

Lu Mingfei froze, unable to react.

"If you can rent a room to Ling, why can't you rent it to me? There should be some vacant rooms here, right? Where are they?"

Su Xiaoqiang asked with a smile.

"Have."

Lu Mingfei answered subconsciously, "There are also master and secondary bedrooms on the third floor..."

"The master bedroom on the third floor is mine."

Su Xiaoqiang grabbed his hand, slapped a card out of nowhere into his palm, and then held out his hand.

Lu Mingfei was so stunned by the combo that he didn't have time to react... He could only subconsciously take a spare set of keys from the locker next to him and hand it to her.

"See you tomorrow, goodnight, landlord~"

Su Xiaoqiang turned and left decisively.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief as the door closed.

What a formidable rival!

He's not even in the same league as Liu Miaomiao; he wouldn't dare say he's seen through her! Right now, it's at best a draw, but considering her consistently calm demeanor, he might even be slightly at a disadvantage…

Su Xiaoqiang pondered, but was not in a hurry.

Suddenly, as if sensing a gaze, she looked towards a window across the street.

The tightly drawn curtains trembled slightly, like the sound of a startled fawn fleeing...

Su Xiaoqiang smiled slightly.

She took out her phone, took a picture of the keys, clicked send, and added a caption.

"I can do it, I'll do it."

In the pitch-black night, a pair of golden eyes, set far away, silently watched all of this.
