Liuli had a hunch that Lu Mingfei's next words would most likely shatter her worldview, so she spoke first:

"'Dragon Clan' tells the story of the little loser Lu Mingfei slaying a dragon, but the author later became so successful and famous that he couldn't continue writing and simply gave up."

"My progress before crossing over was still stuck at But for your sake, your scumbag father's lover fired a shot."

Lu Mingfei interrupted her, "I know the progress, you don't need to say anymore."

Liuli stared at him. At this moment, the young man's soul finally revealed the mark of Nidhogg. He was filled with a huge and heavy sadness that made it almost breathless.

"In this world, she is still alive. Do you want to go meet her?"

The one she was talking about was Lu Mingfei's mother, Qiao Weini, who was shot dead by Lu Mingfei's father's female secretary. When the young man ran back, he only saw his mother's body surrounded by hounds.

Lu Mingfei accepted Liuli's kindness. He nodded and then shook his head. "I originally thought I had returned to my past, but then I realized it wasn't the same world."

"I want to save them, but I don't want to see them because there's no point."

They were not his parents, nor were they his old friends. They were just outsiders. If they really met, it would only add to the complications.

"But you can't save them."

Liuli said calmly, "You are not a being from this world. All heroic spirits invited by the Holy Grail must abide by the corresponding rules."

"You can only stay here for seven days, and you cannot leave Tokyo."

"If it were Nidhogg's true form, no rules would be able to restrain you. However, you have arrived as a Heroic Spirit, so this rule applies to you as well."

"You can't leave Tokyo. The most you can do is to undo the tragedy of the Snake Eight Clan. They are now on good terms. All you can do is help Uesugi Eri with her health problems."

"So, are you going to offer me help? I suppose you didn't invite me here just to have a meal with me."

Lu Mingfei looked at the girl opposite him. She smiled again, but this time her smile was much more sincere and genuine.

"Yes," Liuli said with a smile, "I am happy to lend a helping hand to the respected King Nidhogg, and I hope you can agree to some of my humble requests."

"You said."

Liuli smiled kindly, like a devil trying to trick humans into signing a contract.

"According to the timeline, you came to the island country when Yuan Zhisheng was 26 years old. That year you were a junior in college, 21 years old."

"Yuan Zhisheng is now 18 years old, and you in this world are only 13. If you don't want to go to Kassel Academy, we can find another way."

"If you want, I can provide other help, such as insuring some people's lives to keep them away from the shadow of death."

"What do you think, Your Majesty Nidhogg?"

Lu Mingfei was in a trance for a moment, and his mind recalled the young face of himself in this world that he had seen not long ago.

Girls are different from boys, and probably because of this, her aunt takes better care of her. Her clothes and shoes are all branded, and she looks like a favored little girl from a middle-class family.

But she always kept her head down, as if she wanted to keep a certain special distance from the world.

She also feels out of tune with this world. She longs for her parents' love and wants someone to pick her up after school...

She also didn't want to end up alone.

Who in this world knows you better than yourself?

Who in this world loves you more than yourself?

It wasn't surprising, actually. When I saw the young Lu Mingfei, sitting alone on the edge of a small flower bed with her schoolbag in her arms, staring blankly at the empty playground...

He loved her from the bottom of his heart and wanted to protect her and hug her...

It’s like loving, protecting, and embracing the lonely and helpless self of the past.

"I will still go on this path. You can't stop me, and no one can stop me."

Lu Mingfei said slowly, "This is a predetermined fate. Since the birth of the universe, it was destined to be destroyed one day. Therefore, Nidhogg must exist because he is the symbol of all destruction."

"I will eventually become Nidhogg, it's just a matter of time."

"However, I agree to your request."

"As long as you delay my becoming Nidhogg as long as possible, then in these seven days, no matter what you need me to do, I will do my best to complete it."

Liuli stopped turning the ring on her ring finger. Most people would not bring too much emotion into negotiations, which would cause them to ignore many details.

But fortunately, the ring's ability can give the other person a little hint, such as amplifying a certain emotion of the other person.

Liuli smiled gently after receiving a satisfactory answer, "What do I need to do?"

"Don't let me despair." Lu Mingfei said softly, "Don't let me experience the death of others."

"I will do my best to prevent your important ones from being taken away by the Grim Reaper's scythe." Liuli promised him cautiously, "Then, is it my turn next?"

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Lu Mingfei looked over curiously. "By the way, you're also a Master, right?"

"Would you like to consider me? I just lost my Master last night and I haven't found another one yet."

Liuli quickly shook her head. One family cannot have two gods, let alone a God and a Nidhogg. Even if neither of them is original, it is easy to cause religious and international disputes.

For the sake of family harmony and world peace, it is better not to mention such words that undermine unity.

"My request is simple. I need you to threaten Odin and force him to hand over the Mind Stone and Soul Stone to me."

"Wait... the Mind Stone and the Soul Stone..." Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched, "Is the Odin you're talking about the same one I know?"
