Dragon Raja: The Divine Man Lu Mingfei

Chapter 72 Methods of Erasing Memories

In the boundless, dark wilderness, towering, continuous mountain ranges are constantly surging. The towering peaks slowly move along the wilderness, their heavy bodies rubbing against the soil, emitting a muffled rumble. The majestic mountains cast huge shadows in the twilight, and with each movement, they churn up black dust. From a distance, they look like ancient behemoths crawling on the ground, slowly moving along the darkness. The overwhelming and eerie sense of oppression is enough to suffocate anyone.

According to unofficial historical accounts, H.P. Lovecraft created his legendary Cthulhu masterpiece, "At the Mountains of Madness," after witnessing this scene.

"Awooo—hoo!" The entire moving mountain range suddenly stopped, and the mountain slowly raised its giant head, letting out a deafening roar towards the dark sky. The sound wave caused the surrounding wild grass to bend down.

"Fenrir, why are you yelling so loudly! Are you asking for a beating?!" A furious female voice suddenly erupted from the makeshift stone house on the hillside not far away. Although the volume was not as loud as the dragon king's roar, its power steadily overwhelmed Fenrir's long howl.

Fenrir was so frightened by the sound that he shrank back and could only obediently lie back on the ground, not daring to breathe again.

His golden pupils secretly glanced in the direction of the stone house, wondering why his sister's voice kept coming from inside. However, he was too lazy to think and didn't want to investigate further. His huge paws slowly reached into the cracks in the rocks beside him, and after groping around for a while, he pulled out a half-old television. The already small screen looked even smaller on his huge paw pads.

Fenrir's giant claws were surprisingly agile. He flipped the switch twice, and the screen lit up. After inserting a disc, he immediately forgot about being scolded, drooped his head, lay on the ground, and began to watch with great interest, ignoring the noise coming from the stone house.

As for this small stone house that suddenly appeared in the wilderness, it all started after Lu Mingfei helped Fenrir get rid of his problem. Because the problem that had troubled him for many years was solved, and Xia Mi's long-cherished dream of evolving Hela finally had hope, the dragon was overjoyed and said that she could agree to all of Lu Mingfei's requests. Lu Mingfei did not stand on ceremony and immediately decided to strengthen Xia Mi's bloodline. So, at Xia Mi's request, Fenrir, with doubts, used his own power to build this stone house.

After an unknown amount of time, Fenrir finished watching disc after disc, and finally the stone house was opened from the inside. The first to come out was Lu Mingfei, who walked very lightly and stretched out his arms in a big yawn, looking refreshed. Next to him was Xia Mi, who came out leaning against the wall, looking somewhat exhausted, obviously having burned out.

Xia Mi's weak appearance caught Fenrir's attention. He tilted his head and asked in a muffled voice, "Sister, what's wrong? Are you sick?"

Xia Mi glanced at Fenrir's clear, innocent eyes, like those of a college student untouched by the harsh realities of life, then turned to Lu Mingfei and complained, "Hey senior, can't you be a little more chivalrous? Do you know this could kill someone?"

Lu Mingfei glanced at Xia Mi and simply uttered a few words: "You're not human."

"No, even I, a dragon, couldn't withstand it. Let alone me, if it lasts any longer, even if the White King were reborn, he wouldn't be able to withstand it," Xia Mi said unhappily.

"Sister..." Fenrir saw that Xia Mi was ignoring him and thought that he had angered his sister by shouting earlier, so he called out softly and timidly again, his huge tail gently sweeping the ground like a dog that had done something wrong.

Xia Mi turned around at the sound of the voice, and seeing Fenrir's uneasy look, she said in the tone of an adult coaxing a child to go play, "It's okay, I'm talking to my senior brother about important things, you go play by yourself."

Fenrir immediately relaxed, and like a primary school student who had just received a pass from his parents, he happily turned his big head back to the television screen.

Looking at Fenrir's carefree attitude, Xia Mi couldn't help but sigh softly. She turned to Lu Mingfei and asked helplessly, "Senior brother, to be honest, is this really... cured? Fenrir wasn't exactly smart before, but he'd never been this stupid."

Lu Mingfei spread his hands, looking rather helpless: "There's nothing I can do. I did cure him, but intelligence isn't something that can be developed overnight. It can only grow slowly over time. You can't rush it."

"Fine." Xia Mi had no other choice but to accept the outcome.

"By the way, now that things are done, I'm planning to go back to Binhai in a few days. Do you want to come with me?" Lu Mingfei changed the subject.

"Huh? Senior brother, you live by the sea?" Xia Mi asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Speaking of which, I spent some time in Binhai for junior high school! I attended the most famous school there, Shilan Middle School. I remember there was someone in the school with the exact same name as you!" Xia Mi perked up as she recalled the past, her eyes lighting up.

"Oh? Is that so? What kind of person do you think he is?" Lu Mingfei also became interested and leaned over to ask her.

Xia Mi tilted her head back, gently resting her chin on her right index finger, and squinted for a moment before slowly speaking: "Well... actually, I haven't met him many times. Most of the time, I've only heard about him from strangers. But in the few times we did meet, I thought he was pretty unlucky. He has the exact same name as you, Senior Brother, but they are completely different. It's really quite a strange world."

Lu Mingfei raised an eyebrow and tentatively asked, "I say... is it possible that the loser you're talking about is actually me?"

"Huh?" Xia Mi looked at Lu Mingfei from head to toe with disbelief, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, before shaking her head firmly: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Then you guessed wrong." Lu Mingfei shook his head with a smile, searched his memory from many years ago, and then said, "Now that you mention it, I remember. The captain of the cheerleading team back then was named Xia Mi, and she was a year younger than me. That should be you."

Xia Mi's eyes widened instantly, her red lips parted slightly, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

But Lu Mingfei wasn't about to let her off the hook. He tilted his head and leaned closer, saying, "By the way, I think I just heard you say that I'm pretty unlucky, right?"

Xia Mi broke out in a cold sweat, forcing a stiff smile and chuckling awkwardly to smooth things over: "Ha, ha, ha, senior brother, you must have misheard. That's my hometown dialect. It's actually praising your wisdom, martial prowess, and unparalleled talent! Really!"

Lu Mingfei smiled slightly: "It's nothing, after all, it's the truth, I won't make any excuses."

Xia Mi had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Lu Mingfei continue, "However, it's wrong of you to hold this grudge until now! Zhou, come inside with me! I'm going to erase your memory!"

Before Xia Mi could react, Lu Mingfei grabbed her collar and dragged her towards the stone house.

"Ah! Senior brother! I was wrong! I'll forget about it right away! Please don't kill me..."

Before Xia Mi could finish speaking, the heavy stone door slammed shut, completely isolating Xia Mi's cries and pleas for mercy from the world.
