Dragon Raja: The Divine Man Lu Mingfei

The sounds coming from inside the room were making Su Enxi's heart race. Just as she was about to activate her QQ space again, the sounds suddenly stopped. Su Enxi's curiosity was instantly piqued. She held her breath, her fingertips lightly resting on the doorknob, wanting to sneak a crack in the door to see what was going on inside. But before she could even apply any pressure, the door was pulled open from the inside.

Su Enxi had been pressed against the door to eavesdrop, with all her weight on the door panel. When the door suddenly opened, she instantly lost her balance, stumbled, and fell forward, crashing solidly into Lu Mingfei, who had just come out of the room.

Lu Mingfei instinctively reached out to catch her, and then saw the blush on Su Enxi's face. Her heart was pounding violently in her chest from the earlier panic, a feeling he could clearly feel even through the thin fabric of her clothes. Lu Mingfei instantly understood what she had been doing.

After a flurry of activity, Su Enxi forced a smile that looked more like a grimace and stammered, "Boss, um... if I said I just happened to be passing by and accidentally twisted my ankle, which is why I fell on you, would you... would you believe me?"

"Do you think I believe you?" Lu Mingfei replied with a sunny smile.

Su Enxi shrank back, knowing that arguing was useless. Her eyes darted around, and she simply stretched out her hand, pointing behind her and shouting, "Boss, I'm reporting them! Long Legs did it too!"

Lu Mingfei looked in the direction she was pointing, but the area was empty. Just then, the door to the room across the hall belonging to Jiu De Mai suddenly opened, and Jiu De Mai, dressed in loose loungewear, strolled out. She glanced at the tense atmosphere at the door, feigning ignorance, and blinked, asking, "Boss, Chips, what's wrong? What happened?"

Su Enxi immediately realized what had happened. It turned out that this guy had sensed something was wrong the moment the noise inside stopped, and had secretly slipped back to his room alone, leaving her alone at the door as cannon fodder, making her look foolish and get caught by Lu Mingfei. Realizing this, Su Enxi was furious and glared angrily at Jiu De Mai.

But after glaring for only two seconds, she turned to face Lu Mingfei, immediately calmed down, and put on a humble and apologetic look, secretly hoping that her boss would not punish her too severely because she took the initiative to admit her mistake.

Fortunately, Lu Mingfei was in a good mood and didn't bother to argue with her about these petty thefts. He simply raised his hand, bent his knuckles, and gently tapped Su Enxi's forehead three times before slowly uttering three words: "Journey to the West."

Su Enxi was completely confused and hadn't yet figured out what Lu Mingfei was up to when Lu Mingfei swaggered to the center of the living room, and a figure slowly walked out behind him.

It was a girl, wearing a loose white shirt, her hair disheveled and draped over her shoulders, her face etched with unconcealable fatigue, and faint dark circles under her eyes. She even walked unsteadily, as if she might fall at any moment. Su Enxi paused for a second before recognizing her as Jormungandr, the King of Earth and Mountains, or perhaps she should be called by her human name, Xia Mi.

She was no longer the arrogant woman she was yesterday. Her face was filled with despair, her eyelids drooped, and her eyes were listless. It was clear that she had suffered a great deal inside.

She dragged her feet, following Lu Mingfei into the living room. She had no energy left. Seeing the sofa was like seeing a lifeline. She collapsed onto it like a dead dog, her limbs sprawled out on the sofa, motionless. It seemed they had really settled things privately.

Mai Shude, holding a coffee, stood by the bar and, seeing Xia Mi's expression, asked knowingly, "Boss, what's wrong with her?"

Lu Mingfei walked to the sofa and sat down. He picked up a can of cola from the coffee table, twisted it open, took a sip, and shook his head with a hint of regret. He sighed, "I originally wanted to get the reason why she was infiltrating human society from her, but I didn't expect this guy to be so stubborn. No matter what I did, she didn't utter a single word. I have to say, she truly deserves to be called the Dragon King. Her willpower is indeed astonishing."

Upon hearing this, Xia Mi's usual sullen demeanor vanished instantly. She sprang up from the sofa, her face flushed red: "You have the nerve to say that?! You haven't uttered a single specific question from beginning to end, just kept nagging in my ear, asking if I'd talk or not! When I asked you what you wanted to say, you wouldn't answer, just kept torturing me in various ways. Are you even human?! I, the mighty Dragon King, was almost tortured to pieces by you!"

Xia Mi, who always considered herself a civilized person, was so angry that she even swore, which shows what kind of inhuman torture she had gone through to have such a strong resentment.

"Oh, didn't I ask?" Lu Mingfei scratched his head, then gave a sweet smile. "I guess I forgot to ask, but it's not a big deal, I didn't even think about it. Xia Mi, you don't need to worry about it too much, right? Hehe!" As he spoke, Lu Mingfei deliberately imitated the pose of a beautiful girl in anime, closing one eye, tilting his head, and playfully sticking out his tongue. His affected and awkward manner almost made Su Enxi next to him spit out the milk she had just drunk.

This completely ignited Xia Mi's pent-up anger that had been building up for over ten hours. A faint golden glow appeared beneath the skin on the back of her neck, and pale blue dragon scales gradually rose up along her collarbone. The air pressure around her dropped several degrees, and she was on the verge of breaking through the critical threshold and completely transforming into a dragon.

"Don't get so angry. We went through thick and thin together last night. From now on, we're brothers. I'll protect you if anything happens," Lu Mingfei said, stepping forward to comfort him.

"Huh?! You call this sharing life and death? And I'm a real beauty, you call a beauty 'bro'? And do you usually play like this with your so-called 'bros'? You're not from Nantong, are you? I'm not going to get ripped off by someone from Nantong, am I?" Xia Mi became more and more agitated as she spoke, her eyes flashing with a hint of impending explosion.

But just as Xia Mi was about to go berserk, Lu Mingfei reached out and gently pressed down on her shoulder. His fingertips carried an irresistible force that made Xia Mi stiffen. The dragon scales that had been emerging just moments before instantly retreated, forcibly suppressing her half-dragon state and turning her back into human form.

Lu Mingfei put on a kind and approachable expression and coaxed, "Xiao Mi, don't say anything that's not good for unity. I'm giving you a chance to shine, so you have to seize it. As the old saying goes, seizing an opportunity is seizing the future. If you don't know what's good for you and don't take advantage of this opportunity, I'll be in a lot of trouble. If it gets to that point, things will be very difficult to handle later."

Xia Mi was stunned. She had never imagined that the person in front of her could say such shameless words. As one of the four great monarchs, the King of Earth and Mountains, she was born with the power over the earth and mountains. When had she ever suffered such humiliation? Now she was being manipulated like this, unable to even resist. Just thinking about it made her feel that the future was bleak and hopeless. She wished she could find a river right now and jump in to end it all.
