Dragon Raja: The Divine Man Lu Mingfei

Upon hearing Xia Mi's answer, Lu Mingfei, Su Enxi, and Jiu Demai all stopped eating and turned to look at Xia Mi with unsettling expressions. Xia Mi felt a little uneasy under their gazes.

"Huh? No way, sis, are you kidding me? If you're going to make up an excuse, at least come up with something plausible. Do you really have to use earning living expenses as a pretext?" Su Enxi finally couldn't hold back anymore and was the first to break the silence on the table, putting down her spoon and unable to help but complain.

These words struck a nerve with Xia Mi, who immediately glared at them in dissatisfaction: "Who's lying? Everything I said is the truth! If I were truly rolling in money, would I need to work so hard every day to earn pocket money?" As she spoke, she thought of her painful experience as the Dragon King who had to work to earn a living because she was poor, and she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

"Really?" Lu Mingfei asked again to confirm.

"Otherwise what? What good would it do me to lie to you?" Xia Mi rolled her eyes.

Lu Mingfei, Su Enxi, and Jiu Demai exchanged glances, and after confirming that Xia Mi was not lying, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle.

"What are you laughing at?" Xia Mi's eyes suddenly sharpened as she stared intently at Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei forced back his upturned lips and put on a serious face: "It's nothing, I just remembered something happy."

"What's so exciting?" Xia Mi pressed on, determined to get to the bottom of it.

"My dog ​​had puppies," Lu Mingfei replied.

"Pfft!" Su Enxi couldn't help but laugh out loud. Although she covered her mouth in time, Xia Mi still stared at her: "What are you laughing at again?"

"My dog ​​had puppies too," Su Enxi replied, forcing a smile as she mimicked Lu Mingfei, enunciating each word clearly.

Xia Mi looked at Lu Mingfei, then at Su Enxi: "Are your dogs the same one?"

"Yes... oh, no, no! We just had babies on the same day... Pfft, hahahahaha..." Before he could finish speaking, Lu Mingfei collapsed onto the table and burst into laughter, while Su Enxi laughed so hard she almost fell over.

"Lao Mi, Lao Mi, I never thought that the mighty Jormungandr would fall to this state, hahahahaha... You have truly opened my eyes!" Lu Mingfei pointed at Xia Mi and began to mock her mercilessly.

Xia Mi's face visibly flushed red, and then, nothing more. After experiencing being punished by Lu Mingfei more than once for taking the initiative in anger, she learned her lesson, so now she chose to endure the ridicule!

Xia Mi clenched her fist secretly, making up her mind—since she couldn't beat Lu Mingfei now, she would have a child with him and beat his child every day as revenge for his mockery of her today! This was called the son paying for the father's debts, a matter of course!

Thanks to Xia Mi, breakfast ended in laughter and chatter. Of course, Xia Mi didn't laugh, because she was the one being laughed at.

The thought that this incident might become a stain on her life, that she would be ridiculed by Lu Mingfei for the rest of her life, and that it might even be known by other dragon kings in the future made Xia Mi grit her teeth. She had to find a way to smooth things over and make Lu Mingfei forget about it, so—

"Senior brother, can you come with me somewhere today?" Lu Mingfei was chatting with Su Enxi and Jiu Demai about where to go today when Xia Mi suddenly came over, snuggled up to him, and hooked her arm around his, coaxing him in a drawn-out voice.

"What are you doing? Can you stop rubbing my chest with that steel plate?" Lu Mingfei glanced at Xia Mi's barren chest and tried to pull his arm away with some disgust.

Xia Mi's forehead veins bulged, but she suppressed her anger and said, word by word, "She's only just turned 18! She still has room to grow!"

"Ugh, don't talk to me with that affected tone, it's so nauseating. And why are you acting like a virgin, old woman? How many years have you lived? Aren't you ashamed to say such things?" Lu Mingfei looked at Xia Mi with disdain.

"You motherfucker..." Just as Xia Mi was about to blurt out a curse, Lu Mingfei stopped her at the last minute: "Alright, stop talking nonsense and just say what you want to say."

Xia Mi felt extremely annoyed at being interrupted, as if her words had been stopped. She gritted her teeth and forced out a sentence: "Could you come with me to see someone?"

"Who?"

Fenrir.

"Oh, your brother? Okay, so you're asking where he is? Aren't you four monarchs usually inseparable? You've been with me these past two days, how come I haven't seen him at all?" Lu Mingfei frowned, a little puzzled.

"He's a little inconvenienced, you'll find out when you come with me anyway," Xia Mi said evasively, refusing to elaborate.

"Oh? Inconvenient? Could it be that you're on your period?" Lu Mingfei rested his chin on his hand, looking thoughtful.

"Huh? What period?" Xia Mi asked, puzzled.

"You girls have periods every month, so naturally we boys have molting periods too," Lu Mingfei said with a straight face, spouting nonsense.

Xia Mi laughed in exasperation: "Senior brother, what on earth are you thinking? Can't you be normal for once?"

"I'll just say it." Lu Mingfei shrugged and agreed anyway.

After exchanging a few words with Su Enxi and Jiu Demai to reassure them, Lu Mingfei followed Xia Mi alone to her Nibelungen.

Xia Mi led Lu Mingfei to a subway station. Each of the four monarchs possessed their own unique Nibelungen, an independent world constructed by the dragons using their power. Not only were the landscapes vastly different, but the methods of entering each were also unique. Lu Mingfei was quite curious about what the Nibelungen of Jormungandr in this world was like, and also about how she would enter her Nibelungen.

Just then, a low, rumbling sound of wheels and rails suddenly came from the tunnel at the end of the platform. It wasn't the familiar rumble of a city subway, but rather a dull, resonant vibration unique to old metal.

Before long, an old train with peeling paint, looking at least half a century old, slowly slid out of the darkness, its wheels rubbing against the rails with a soft creaking sound, and stopped right next to the platform in front of the two of them.

Immediately afterwards, the carriage door slid open slowly along the rails, and dim yellow light leaked from the carriage, falling at their feet like a silent invitation. Xia Mi stepped into the carriage without hesitation, and Lu Mingfei followed without thinking.

The large carriage was empty. Lu Mingfei looked back at the platform; the passengers queuing for the train had blank stares, as if they couldn't see the old train that had suddenly appeared. Not a single person came to board. After the two of them stood still, the doors slowly closed, blocking out the light from the platform and carrying them into the darkness.

The carriage was so quiet that only the rumble of the train wheels rolling over the rails could be heard. The usually lively Xia Mi was silent, quietly watching the darkness recede into the distance. Her profile was blurred in the flickering light, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

"Hey, aren't you going to say anything?" After some time, Lu Mingfei suddenly broke the silence.

Xia Mi remained silent, still gazing out the window.

"Stop pretending to be melancholy with me, what are you pretending for!" Seeing that she dared to ignore him, Lu Mingfei raised his hand and launched a Flying Dragon Cloud-Piercing Hand straight at Xia Mi's vitals. Xia Mi was startled and quickly dodged, then angrily shouted, "Damn it! Senior brother, can't you read the room for a second? You've ruined the perfect atmosphere!"

"Atmosphere? My assessment is that it's not even as good as a single NetEase Cloud Music channel," Lu Mingfei said dismissively.

"Fine, fine, I can't argue with you, but it's about time." Xia Mi finally turned around, and as soon as she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to the window again—at some point, the dark tunnel walls that had been receding outside the car window had been replaced by an endless, dim wilderness, with the wind swirling the withered grass in the boundless darkness, devoid of any life.

"Hmm?" Lu Mingfei seemed to sense something as well, and looked out the window with Xia Mi.

Sure enough, within a few minutes, the train, which had been moving at a steady speed, began to slow down gradually and finally came to a smooth stop next to a platform that was overgrown with weeds and looked like it had been abandoned for who knows how many years.

The train doors opened, and Xia Mi jumped down first, her footsteps making a soft creak on the broken bricks of the platform. Then she turned around, opened her arms to Lu Mingfei inside the carriage, her eyes gleaming, and said:

"Senior brother, welcome to my Nibelungen."
