Dragon Raja: The Divine Man Lu Mingfei

"Boss, are you so sure she'll come?" Inside the car, Su Enxi hadn't noticed Lu Mingfei's lip movements towards Xia Mi earlier, so she was puzzled by his inexplicable confidence and couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, she'll come. If she dares not to come, I'll just go to Nibelungen to look for her." Lu Mingfei's tone was calm, but it exuded a sense of self-assurance.

"Don't worry about the potato chips. The boss has his own plans. It's none of your business to concern yourself with them," Mai Shude teased with a smile.

"I'm just concerned about the boss! Isn't it only natural for a subordinate to care about their boss?" Su Enxi immediately retorted.

"Really? I have a feeling you're just asking questions to find a sense of security because you're scared?" Mai Shude pointed out.

"Long legs, don't talk nonsense! Why would I be scared? I'm just thinking about the boss!" Su Enxi was still being stubborn.

"Yes, yes, you're right, I'll go along with you," Mai Shude conceded.

Su Enxi felt she had won this argument and was smug for a while before turning to Lu Mingfei and asking, "By the way, boss, you said before that the King of Earth and Mountains was an old friend of yours. Did you know Jormungandr before? But I feel like she doesn't know you."

"I do know her, but it's only me who knows her, she doesn't know me." Lu Mingfei only said this ambiguous sentence and then stopped talking. No matter how much Su Enxi pressed him for an answer, he wouldn't reply.

As Lu Mingfei gazed at the rapidly receding street scene outside the window, Xia Mi's pure and lovely face kept replaying in his mind, and his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to his past life.

In his previous life, after he devoured Nidhogg, he began to deal with the remaining dragon princes.

The most cunning and treacherous King of the Sky and Wind, after plotting to devour the King of the Ocean and Water, was mercilessly crushed into dust by him; the twin sons of the King of Bronze and Fire were pragmatic and surrendered early on; when it came to the King of Earth and Mountains, Jormungandr was also pragmatic and chose to submit, but this guy, relying on his intelligence, resorted to petty tricks and actually tried to control him by seducing him.

The result was a clumsy attempt that angered Lu Mingfei, leading him to treat Jormungandr as a cup for the next several centuries. It wasn't until much later that Lu Mingfei finally gave her a proper status and allowed her to join his harem.

The three of them hadn't been back at the hotel long when the doorbell rang for their suite. Lu Mingfei got up and opened the door, where Xia Mi stood with a long face.

"Wow, you're here pretty fast. I thought you'd be dawdling until you got off work," Lu Mingfei teased.

"None of your business." Xia Mi said without any politeness, and walked straight into the suite.

After Lu Mingfei left KFC, Xia Mi felt more and more uneasy. Lu Mingfei gave her a strange feeling, both familiar and unfamiliar.

Xia Mi initially deduced that Lu Mingfei was also one of the twins of the four monarchs, but then she dismissed the idea. She was very familiar with these brothers who shared the same lineage. The four monarchs were connected by blood, and she could distinguish them by their auras as soon as they got close. However, Lu Mingfei did not have any trace of the dragon's might from the same source, so he could not possibly be one of them.

After overturning this conclusion, Xia Mi thought of another possibility, which, although somewhat outrageous, was still reasonable: Lu Mingfei might be related to the forbidden White Emperor. After all, he was the Black King's original and most perfect creation, whose history was much longer than that of the Four Monarchs. However, Xia Mi only knew a few words about him.

Although historical records indicate that the White Emperor had long been completely killed by the Black King, Xia Mi knew in her heart that even the four monarchs had the ability to regenerate from their cocoons. How could the White King, who was able to rival the Black King back then, not have left a contingency plan? Thinking about it this way, Lu Mingfei might just be the White King's contingency plan left for today.

After reaching this conclusion, Xia Mi couldn't sit still any longer. She simply asked the store manager for leave and rushed to the hotel according to the address left by Lu Mingfei.

She wasn't too worried that Lu Mingfei wanted to harm her. Apart from the twins on the throne, dragon kings were usually irreconcilable enemies. If they didn't fight each other fiercely when they met, it would be a disservice to their boiling dragon blood.

Lu Mingfei clearly had no intention of making a move in the KFC, which meant that he really had something to talk to her about. And even if they did fight, it was just a trick left behind by a ghost who had been dead for many years. She, the mighty King of Earth and Mountains, was not afraid of it at all!

"I already know your identity. Speak, what do you want with me?" Xia Mi walked into the living room and, without any politeness, went straight to an empty sofa and sat down. She even casually crossed her legs, looking completely unhurried, as if she were the one who owned the place.

This was actually her psychological tactic—first showing that she knew everything about the other party, and then putting on a confident attitude to put pressure on Lu Mingfei and seize the initiative before the other party could speak.

"Really?" Lu Mingfei was somewhat surprised, but he quickly realized that Xia Mi might have misunderstood something, so he continued, "Then tell me, who exactly am I?"

"Hmph, your little secrets are completely exposed before me." Xia Mi sneered. "I guess you've known all along that you're nothing more than a pawn in the White King's resurrection plan, but you're unwilling to be a sacrifice, so you've come to me, the great Jormungandr, for help, haven't you?"

Lu Mingfei fell silent. He really didn't know how this guy's brain worked, how he could connect him with the White King. But his silence, in Xia Mi's eyes, precisely confirmed her guess. It was because his true identity had been exposed that Lu Mingfei had nothing to say.

Then, in order to completely seize the initiative, Xia Mi slowly stood up, raised her hand and patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder lightly, and said in an old-fashioned tone: "Young man, I am very happy that you took the initiative to come to me; but I did not like your previous attitude. If you want me to help you, you should first think about how to apologize for your previous offense."

Lu Mingfei almost laughed at her self-righteous remarks, but he managed to hold back. He thought to himself that Jormungandr's personality hadn't changed at all; she'd be radiant if given a little sunshine and would start a frenzy if given a little paint.

Since she wanted to play along, Lu Mingfei didn't mind playing along. So he put on a humble and respectful expression and said, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency Jormungandr, I have offended you before. I apologize and hope you will forgive my rudeness. Please feel free to make any requests you may have, and I will do my best to fulfill them."

"Hmm, that's more like it." Xia Mi was waiting for this sentence. In her opinion, the White King in front of her must be doing very well in human society with the backup plan he left behind. Look at this luxurious presidential suite, and look at the two great beauties accompanying him. Doesn't he need a huge amount of money to support him?

Looking at herself, despite being a noble Queen of the Earth and Mountains, she now had to work to earn a living simply because she woke up a little later than others. She had plenty of ways to make a fortune if she wanted, but to avoid revealing her dragon identity, she had no choice but to obediently work at the small shop. Compared to that, Lu Mingfei's generosity made her incredibly envious.
