Dragon Raja: The Divine Man Lu Mingfei

Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi were arguing so loudly they almost came to blows right there in the empty Nibelungen. Luckily, Fenrir, who seemed to be sleepy, let out a loud yawn, which stopped the two from having a wild brawl.

Seeing that the two had finally stopped talking, Fenrir immediately shook his big head and stared at Xia Mi expectantly, asking, "Sister, did you bring me potato chips?" He looked at Xia Mi expectantly, and if you ignored his huge size, he looked exactly like a little animal waiting for its owner to feed it.

"What? Potato Chips? Hakimi, Hakimi, I didn't expect that before my harem is even officially established, you're already thinking about palace intrigue! A battle of wits is one thing, but you're even planning a physical fight! And you're trying to use Fenrir to assassinate Potato Chips Girl! Do you even know whose money you've been using to pay for the suite you've been staying in these past few days? I can't believe you're such an ungrateful person, you've really disappointed me!" Lu Mingfei preemptively berated Xia Mi before she could speak, and Xia Mi, not to be outdone, immediately retaliated:

"Who said you have a harem? I haven't even agreed yet, so don't flatter yourself, okay? Besides, Fenrir was just talking about ordinary potato chips, and you immediately connected it to people. In my opinion, you're the one with ulterior motives!"

Just as Xia Mi was wondering how Lu Mingfei should react and how she should counterattack, she saw Lu Mingfei nod with an expression of full agreement: "Indeed, you're right." Xia Mi was overjoyed, and just when she thought Lu Mingfei was finally going to back down, she heard Lu Mingfei's next sentence: "It seems you have quite a bit of self-awareness, knowing that you're not worthy of being a harem member, only worthy of being a cup."

"Lu Mingfei!" Xia Mi blushed instantly, and was about to explode at Lu Mingfei when she caught a glimpse of Fenrir drooping his big head, listlessly watching them from the ground. Her spirits immediately deflated, her shoulders slumped, and she finally gave in: "Senior brother, is there any way to make Fenrir return to normal?"

"Well, I'll have to take a look first." Lu Mingfei was very satisfied with Xia Mi's attitude. He walked forward and paced back and forth around Fenrir's huge, mountain-like dragon body, squinting as he carefully examined the patterns on each scale. Every now and then, he would raise his hand and tap on the hard dragon scales, listening intently to the sounds inside.

Xia Mi followed Lu Mingfei silently, circling around Fenrir's huge dragon body. She unconsciously lowered her breathing and dared not make any noise, for fear of disturbing Lu Mingfei.

After a long while, Lu Mingfei stopped what he was doing, his brows furrowed and his face clouded with worry. Xia Mi's heart skipped a beat when she saw this, and she quickly stepped forward to ask:

"Senior brother, how is it? Is there any hope?"

Lu Mingfei sighed and said, "Alas, this situation is not optimistic. If it is not treated in time, it may endanger his life..."

"Huh? What should we do then?" Xia Mi exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't rush, let me explain slowly." Lu Mingfei waved his hand, signaling Xia Mi to calm down, and then continued, "From what I've observed, it's clear that someone has tampered with his condition..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xia Mi interrupted, "Of course I know that! That's exactly what I just told you!"

Lu Mingfei glared at Xia Mi, displeased. "Don't interrupt me when I'm speaking! Do you still want to save your brother?"

Xia Mi immediately shut her mouth and dared not say anything more. Lu Mingfei nodded at her as she admitted her mistake and corrected it, and continued, "According to my reasoning, his behavior is obviously related to the power of the Earth and Mountain lineage, but this is clearly not something you could have done, because you simply couldn't have done it with your strength! It also couldn't have been done by Fenrir himself, although he is not very intelligent, he is not stupid either."

Xia Mi rolled her eyes inwardly, feeling that Lu Mingfei was indirectly insulting her, but she didn't dare show it on her face. She only cautiously asked, "Senior brother, then who did it?"

"Eliminate all impossibilities, and what remains, however improbable, must be the truth!" So said Lulus. "Possessing the power to control the earth and imprisoning dragons in secret realms, there's only one answer—it was all the work of Morax, the Geo Archon of Liyue!"

"Pfft...cough cough cough cough..." Xia Mi couldn't hold back and accidentally choked on her own saliva, bending over and coughing for a long time before she recovered.

"What? You don't agree with my classic reasoning?" Lu Mingfei turned his gaze to Xia Mi, his eyes subtly revealing a sense of threat.

"How could that be? Senior brother, your reasoning is amazing! You're practically Sherlock Holmes reincarnated!" Xia Mi didn't dare disobey Lu Mingfei, so she could only chime in and defend him: "That Morax is really wicked! Why does he have to bully Fenrir of all people!"

Although she didn't know what Morax was, that didn't stop her from flattering Lu Mingfei. After all, she needed his help, so it was always right to go along with him.

"Senior brother, how exactly can we save Fenrir?" Xia Mi steered the conversation back to the point she cared about most.

"This... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult..." Lu Mingfei sighed on the surface, but his hands were not idle. He rubbed his index finger and thumb together, the meaning of which was self-evident. It was not difficult for him to restore Fenrir, but that did not stop him from making it seem like it was a difficult task, so that Xia Mi would owe him more favors.

"Senior brother, look, this is all I have..." Xia Mi said with a mournful face, pulling out a few crumpled bills from her pocket, while cursing inwardly: Lu Mingfei, you skinflint! You even rip me off when I'm poor! How much you cheated me out of today, I'll get it back with interest sooner or later!

Lu Mingfei glanced at the few scattered receipts, then just pursed his lips and shook his head.

Seeing this, Xia Mi gritted her teeth, rummaged in her pocket for a while, pulled out a few large red banknotes, and reluctantly handed them to Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei glanced at them again and shook his head. This time, Xia Mi couldn't take it anymore and breathed on them to warm them.

"Lu Mingfei! Have you no shame! I'm already yours, and you're still not satisfied? What? You really think you've got me figured out? Fine, I'll just blow you up!"

As she spoke, she was about to rush forward and start a fight with Lu Mingfei, but Lu Mingfei stopped her: "What I mean is, I don't care about your money, but you have to remember that you owe me a favor. From now on, you'll be my personal cup, understand?"

Xia Mi immediately put down her gun. After thinking it over carefully, she realized that it wasn't much different from her current situation, and she could even benefit from bloodline enhancement. So she agreed without hesitation: "Okay, I agree."

Lu Mingfei was very satisfied, so he walked up to Fenrir, raised his hand, and placed it on Fenrir's massive dragon body, which was fused with the rock. Xia Mi stood behind him, holding her breath, not daring to make a sound, her eyes fixed on Lu Mingfei's hand on the rock.

The next moment, a miraculous scene unfolded. A faint golden light seeped from Lu Mingfei's palm, slowly spreading along the rock's texture. Then, the gray-brown rock wall, which had been integrated with the dragon's body, first cracked open with a fine, almost invisible line. The line then spread at a visible speed, crawling across the entire rock wall like a spider web. After making a soft "click-clack" sound, it shattered into large and small stone fragments.

The broken rocks fell one by one along the outline of the dragon's body, hitting the ground and raising a light dust. The thick layer of stone covering the dragon gradually peeled away, revealing the huge dragon body that had been sealed in the rock. The dark blue scales had a matte finish, and the huge wing bones spread out, sweeping away the last few pieces of broken stone.

"Congratulations, you got it for free." Lu Mingfei brushed the dust off his hands and offered his blessing to Fenrir.

Having just escaped his confinement, Fenrir was still adjusting to his newfound freedom. He shook his massive head, tried to move his limbs, and wobbled to his feet, causing the ground beneath his feet to tremble slightly. Then, he raised his head and let out a long, resounding roar, celebrating his freedom.

"I'm paying for it for free!"
