Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

Lu Mingfei was trying to instill into Chu Zihang the most philosophical words he had learned outside of books.

"Although knowledge and literature will not disappear, inspiration will. It is actually very difficult to find that little inspiration." Chu Zihang said seriously.

Lu Mingfei slammed his forehead hard. He was defeated, miserably. Chu Zihang was a piece of wood that could never be carved into a flower when it came to men and women. He was worried that if Chu Zihang knew Xiaolongnu's true identity in the future, how would he persuade the two of them not to bite each other's throats because of racial conflicts!

Damn it, even slaying a dragon isn't that hard!

"Brother, let me ask you a question. What do you think about...love that transcends race?" Lu Mingfei asked tentatively.

The two were walking out of the platform and moving towards the waiting hall.

"Do you mean the Twilight Saga that was a big hit last year, or the old movie Edward Scissorhands?" Chu Zihang asked back.

"Is there any difference between these two?"

"There's a huge difference. Humans and vampires are at least similar in physiological structure, but humans and robots are very different." Chu Zihang analyzed rigorously from the perspective of a science student.

"It's like the Disney movie "Beauty and the Beast". What if, I mean what if! What if you were the beauty in the movie, would you be able to fall in love with the beast?" Lu Mingfei asked without giving up.

"Hmm... probably not." A materialistic glint flashed across Chu Zihang's eyes, which were covered by his cosmetic contact lenses. "That's a fairy tale, and I'm not very good at analyzing emotions from a female perspective. But in reality, any normal person would be repulsed by a beast like that. If you saw a dragon man, your instinctive physiological reaction would be to not approach it, right?"

As they were chatting, the two had already walked to the middle of the waiting hall. Suddenly, a long high note cut through the sky.

"Ahhh!" A sharp scream burst out from above their heads, and Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang looked up at the same time.

On the beam of Chicago Hall, a beautiful girl with long flowing hair fell from the sky, holding a Winnie the Pooh balloon in her hand, which looked like it could hardly support her weight.

In a flash, Chu Zihang beside him rushed out like a flowing shadow, and he caught the beautiful girl steadily at the critical moment.

Warm applause rang out all around. Looking at this beautiful scene of a hero saving a beauty, Lu Mingfei's mouth curled up into a wicked smile.

"You won't get close to me due to physiological reaction? You're kidding, Brother!"

Chapter 113: Fire, Theft, and Senior Brother

It turns out that a girl’s body is so... soft and light.

This thought flashed through Chu Zihang's mind in an instant, disappearing like a shooting star.

When he saw clearly the figure in his arms, he fell silent for no reason. He bent down and gently placed the person in his arms on the ground, then took a big step back.

This is a kind of respect for women and a kind of awe for beauty.

It is like a tomb robber breaking into Tutankhamun's tomb. Faced with the exquisite golden mask that seems to have sealed time, he would admire it for a long time in silence, not daring to reach out to take it off, as if he was afraid of disturbing the sleeping beauty and afraid that it would age the moment it wakes up.

The girl looked at Chu Zihang curiously, and Chu Zihang saw his own restrained self in the girl's clear pupils.

The waiting hall was crowded, and everyone heard the girl's scream, which was like thunder across their heads. The beam hit the ground, and it fell from a height of five or six meters. Most people would have broken several bones if they fell on the hard granite floor.

But who has the reaction time to catch it in such a hurry? He might end up getting himself in trouble instead of saving the beauty... But such a young man really rushed out from a long distance away, like a gust of wind, and before he could even see his shadow, the girl fell into his hands like magic.

It's like... a fate sent by God.

Amidst the thunderous applause and crowds of people, Chu Zihang turned his head away from the girl, his gaze wandering through the crowd, as if he was looking for Lu Mingfei, looking a little at a loss.

"Thank you. Otherwise, flying in front of so many people would be against school rules." The girl looked at Chu Zihang and bowed to express her gratitude.

"Fly?" Chu Zihang keenly caught this incredible word from the girl's words.

"Oh, did you let it slip?" The girl stuck out her tongue playfully, looking so cute that it seemed to light up the whole world.

"Are you a student of Kassel College?" Chu Zihang looked at the girl in front of him.

The girl wore a pure white baseball cap with sunglasses on it, her long black hair was draped over her shoulders, she was wearing an oversized light blue casual jacket with a plain white suspenders underneath, and her slim-fitting jeans perfectly outlined her pair of well-proportioned long legs.

Chu Zihang's gaze lingered for a full second on the Winnie the Pooh balloon held in the girl's hand and the black ticket with the World Tree pattern printed on it in her mouth.

"Xia Mi?" Chu Zihang looked at the girl and called out the name uncertainly.

"Hey hey hey!" The girl's beautiful eyes widened and bulged, just like Haruhi Suzumiya with dyed black hair tearing out of a comic book and walking out of it. "You actually remember me?"

The girl looked stunned.

"Remember?" Chu Zihang was puzzled. Shouldn't the word "remember" be used to describe the first meeting?

"I mean I recognize... Do you recognize me?" The girl looked at Chu Zihang's confused expression and quickly changed her wording.

"I don't know him, but I've heard of him." Chu Zihang said, "Chu Zihang, Department of Mechanical Engineering."

"It's my senior brother." Xia Mi jumped up. "Science guys are so handsome. Are all science guys in the academy high-quality guys like my senior brother? Kassel must be heaven!"

There seemed to be stars in Xia Mi's big eyes as she looked at Chu Zihang.

Chu Zihang didn't respond to Xia Mi's words. His attention remained on the balloon in the girl's hand. He asked nonsensically, "Do you like Winnie the Pooh and his friends too?"

"I wouldn't say I like it that much." Xia Mi followed Chu Zihang's gaze and looked at the Winnie the Pooh balloon tightly held in her hand. "Oh, I forgot to return the balloon. Oh no!"

Xia Mi looked around the crowd, as if looking for something, but she didn't find it and sighed in disappointment.

"Are you looking for someone?" Chu Zihang asked the girl, whose emotions were all written on her face without any concealment.

"This balloon's owner is a little boy." Xia Mi sighed and shook the Winnie the Pooh wearing a red scarf.

"So you jumped onto the beam just now just to help the boy pick up the balloon?" Chu Zihang asked.

"Yes," Xia Mi nodded her head. "Just now, I saw him lose his balloon and he said to his mother, 'Winnie the Pooh flew away,' and then burst into tears. I felt a little sorry for him. You know, as a caring big sister, I can't stand seeing a little boy crying in front of me. Now I helped him take it down, but he can't be found."

Chu Zihang was a little amused and confused. He didn't know whether to describe the girl as "kind" or "generous" for climbing up a five or six meter high beam just to pick a balloon. However, he felt for some reason that the girl's silliness was a bit like Lu Mingfei, whom he used to know.

"I'll give it to you." Xia Mi handed the balloon forward.

The girl smiled brightly, and the feeling of loss went away quickly, and the depression on her face disappeared in an instant.

Chu Zihang looked at the girl, pointed at himself, and asked uncertainly, "Me?"

"Yes, you used 'also' when you asked about 'Winnie the Pooh and his friends' just now. The details are very telling. Brother, you like Winnie the Pooh, right?" Xia Mi asked teasingly.

"Also... not bad."

"Hmph, you're just being stubborn!" Xia Mi stepped forward, took Chu Zihang's hand, and tied the rope holding Winnie the Pooh to Chu Zihang's wrist.

Chu Zihang, who used to show a expressionless face in the academy, had two blushes on his knife-like face for no reason.

For some reason, he rarely refused or resisted.

"Don't be shy, senior brother. It's not embarrassing to like Winnie the Pooh. It's cute, okay? I'm giving you the balloon as a way to repay you for saving my life. I don't have any money, so I can't possibly give myself to you, right? Although you're very handsome, senior brother, but..." The girl said to herself while tying a bow for Chu Zihang.

But the girl might not know that the taciturn boy felt like a deer jumping up and down in his heart the moment their fingertips touched. He didn't blush because the girl revealed that he liked Winnie the Pooh, but...

"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!" The girl suddenly screamed, startling Chu Zihang so much that his wrist shook.

"What's wrong?" Chu Zihang was a little confused, thinking that this scream... was she burned by something?

"Senior brother, the veins on your wrists and the back of your hands are so sexy. It's not impossible for me to marry you to you!" After Xia Mi helped Chu Zihang tie a cute bow, she raised her head and looked at Chu Zihang with eyes full of pink hearts.

Chu Zihang stood there silently. He was wrong. The girl was not the female Lu Mingfei at all.

In his mind, he relabeled the girl as "female Finger". In his opinion, Finger was a relatively rare species. In an aristocratic elite academy like Kassel, there were very few of them. Their hallmark characteristics were: narcissism, being offline, and a love of talking nonsense.

Although they had only been in contact for a few minutes, he was very sure that Xia Mi fully met the requirements.

"Yo yo yo!" A teasing voice sounded from behind, "I was only away for a short while, right? Are you two holding hands already?"

Lu Mingfei walked over from a distance, carrying a long stick-like object on his shoulder. He looked at Chu Zihang's wrist held by Xia Mi and the Winnie the Pooh balloon, with ambiguity in his eyes and tone.

Chu Zihang quickly pulled his wrist back from Xia Mi's soft little hand. The Winnie the Pooh balloon swayed in the air. He nudged Lu Mingfei with his elbow and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

Lu Mingfei gave Chu Zihang a look that said, "You understand, I understand, and everyone understands." Then he looked at Xia Mi, "Lu Mingfei, History Department."

"Huh? A liberal arts guy?" Xia Mi widened her eyes and looked at Lu Mingfei as if she was observing some rare animal.

Lu Mingfei nodded generously, not feeling inferior to Chu Zihang because of this. The full name of Chu Zihang's mechanical department is "Alchemical Mechanical Department", which specializes in the study of alchemical equipment, while the full name of Lu Mingfei's history department is "Dragon Genealogy", which intends to study the genealogy of the dragon clan and dig deep into the dark side of its history. Both of them are considered the mainstays of the university disciplines of Kassel College.

But there was no need to explain such a serious topic when they first met. If Lu Mingfei talked about all this with Xia Mi, his senior brother would not be able to find any topics to talk about with Xia Mi later.

"Let's go back to the college. The admissions counseling can be done on the way." Chu Zihang suggested. The unfinished homework kept lingering in his mind.

"There's no going back." Lu Mingfei said.

"What's going on?" Chu Zihang looked at Lu Mingfei and asked in confusion.

"That's exactly what it says." Lu Mingfei was carrying a rolling object wrapped in a long cloth bag on his shoulder, which swayed back and forth. "The track leading to the academy from CC1000 was cut by a madman. It's being repaired now, and the conservative estimate is that it won't be reconnected until tomorrow."

"Hey, Senior Brother Lu, how did you know?" Xia Mi asked.

"I just came back from there and saw it with my own eyes. That madman was so scary. He jumped out like a tiger and cut the train tracks. Let's stay away from him and find a place nearby to deal with him tonight?" Lu Mingfei said the scary things, but there was no fear on his face.

Chu Zihang glanced at the rolled object wrapped in a cloth bag that Lu Mingfei was carrying on his shoulder. He knew that it was Lu Mingfei's famous item, Guanshi Zhengzong. Lu Mingfei had specially brought it out with him when he left the academy. At that time, Chu Zihang also asked why weapons were required for the task of orientation for freshmen. Lu Mingfei only said that he brought it with him just in case, and it might be of great use.

So that madman who cut the train tracks with a knife... must be Lu Mingfei himself...

What was this guy up to? Kidnapping an ignorant junior? Or was this entrance counseling just a cover? Lu Mingfei had actually overheard the school board's conspiracy against him and the others in front of the control room, and was thinking of using this opportunity to rebel, severing the connection between Kassel Academy and the outside world to demonstrate his resolve to resist Kassel? If that was the case, should he go in and join in the fight?

Countless outrageous and fancy ideas flashed through Chu Zihang's mind in an instant.

"Hey, but I don't have any money on me. I also need to save money to buy lenses for my camera. I won't have to spend the night on a bench at the train station, will I? Am I going to give my virginity to the Chicago train station?" Xia Mi said with her cheeks puffed out.

"Huh? What first time?" Lu Mingfei looked at Xia Mi suspiciously.

"What are you thinking about? This is the first time we're sleeping on a bench. Brother, don't be shy!" Xia Mi's coquettish tone sounded quite cute.

Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes and threw two sanitary balls at Xia Mi. It was obviously your own words that were very ambiguous, okay!

Chu Zihang listened to the terrible conversation between the two people and sighed, "This place is occupied at night. There are always groups of homeless people sleeping in every train station in the United States. These homeless people have their own forces and territories. If we stay here at night, it would be a provocation to them. And if a beautiful girl stays here..."

Chu Zihang looked at Xia Mi's slim figure and didn't say any vulgar words.

"I don't have any money on me. Brother, you know I'm very poor. I can only rely on scholarships to support myself, and I also have to support the useless dog in the dormitory who only eats and does no work." Lu Mingfei flipped through his pockets which were cleaner than his face.

"But junior sister, don't worry. Everyone knows the name of my senior brother Chu, Young Master Shilan. Senior brother, it's time to show your masculinity in front of you, junior sister!" Lu Mingfei's eyes wandered between the two of them.

"Then let's get a room. We can live together and I'll pay for it." Chu Zihang wasn't unwilling, but he felt that the current situation was a bit baffling. He couldn't figure out what Lu Mingfei was trying to do.

"Do you want to get a room?" Xia Mi stared at Chu Zihang with her big watery eyes.

Chu Zihang was stunned, and he suddenly realized that his words were inappropriate. Although they were senior and junior students, it was their first time meeting. Two boys invited a girl to book a room to live with them. The girl was Chinese and had not yet enrolled in school. He sounded like a human trafficker who had planned it in advance, or a bad senior who wanted to trick the junior girl into sleeping with her as soon as they met. If her parents knew about it, they would probably tie him and Lu Mingfei together and throw them into a pig cage, right?

"Actually, what I mean is..." Chu Zihang wanted to say that he would book a separate room for the girl.

"Young Master? So awesome! Does a cute girl like me have a chance to become a young mistress?" Xia Mi rushed over, looking at Chu Zihang with starry eyes.

It's more than just an opportunity. I declare that the position of Young Madam belongs to you. If anyone competes with you for it, I will chop her to death... Lu Mingfei looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction.

Chu Zihang did not meet Xia Mi's starry eyes, but in his heart, her title of "female Fingle" became more and more established... The girls he had met in the past, such as Liu Miaomiao, Su Xiaoqiang, and Chen Wenwen, all had different personalities but also had similarities. At most, Su Si from the Lionheart Club was more capable and pragmatic.

But Xia Mi is different from each of them, completely different.

"Junior sister, you will be responsible for searching for the location of the hotel. It should be a five-star, high-end one. Senior brother, you will be responsible for helping junior sister carry her bag. A standard suitcase and a handbag will be no problem for you." Lu Mingfei instructed Jiangshan.

"Then what are you doing?" Xia Mi asked.

"I'll buy three cups of Coke. I'll be back soon." Lu Mingfei rushed to the nearby Subway and soon returned with three paper cups and bubbling Coke.

"My senior brothers are so nice." Xia Mi's smile was brighter than the sunshine in Chicago.

The Winnie the Pooh in Chu Zihang's hand jumped high out of the endless stream of people. Xia Mi looked at the cool back of this man with a cute balloon tied to his wrist, and her voice suddenly became low, as if there really was a close elder sister speaking in her heart.

"Xia Mi, be careful not to get caught. Be alert and beware of fire, theft, and your senior brothers!"

Chapter 114 The Debate between Man and Dragon

The day before, it was pouring rain like a dark night, the rain was pouring down so hard that the whole world was turned upside down; today the weather in Chicago suddenly turned sunny again, and the temperature was so high that people wanted to take off their clothes and jump into the Chicago River to cool down.

It seemed that with the arrival of the girl named "Xia Mi", the lingering and rainy spring was hurriedly driven away, and suddenly the summer solstice arrived.

In the suite of Hyatt Rency Chicago Hotel, the large-screen LCD TV is playing the popular American cartoon movie "Up". Seventy-eight-year-old Carl and eight-year-old Russell are playing each other during the journey in a flying house. American humor fills the entire room as if it is the background music of the world at that time.

Lu Mingfei was wiping his Guanshi Zhengzong sword. The sunlight poured in through the window and was cut into two golden squares by the white blade.

Chu Zihang was flipping through a cowhide book. It was a reference book for "Alchemy Chemistry Level 3" and an ancient book that annotated "The Emerald Jade Record".

The Emerald Record is an ancient book from 1900 BC, engraved on emerald tablets and discovered in a secret chamber beneath a pyramid. It is considered the origin of alchemy. The author claims to be Hermes, a member of the Triune God in Egyptian mythology. The book contains only thirteen sentences, yet it contains all the truths of alchemy.

The plump Winnie the Pooh balloon was pressed against the ceiling, and the end of the long white rope was still tied to Chu Zihang's wrist. I don't know if he forgot to take it off or didn't want to take it off.

This five-star hotel under Hyatt stands on the bank of the Chicago River. When you open the window, you can see a cruise ship with white sails slowly passing by in the river. The enthusiastic black and fat tour guide at the bow is talking to a group of foreign tourists about the golden years when this city was founded.

"Brother, I'm sorry I lied to you. I actually had some money on me." Lu Mingfei glanced slyly in the direction of the bathroom and said to Chu Zihang in a low voice, "I can't afford a five-star hotel, but a B&B is fine. How about I move out and you give me admissions guidance?"

The sound of water flowing in the bathroom was like the most beautiful and pleasant sound of a spring in the world. Xia Mi was taking a bath in the bathroom.

"Lu Mingfei." Chu Zihang also said in a low voice. When he was with this junior brother, he basically spoke directly and rarely called Lu Mingfei's name. But whenever he called out these three words, it meant that he would be serious about what he would say next.

"Something was wrong when you proposed to give orientation to freshmen in the control room. You specifically asked me to join you, asked strange questions along the way, secretly cut the train tracks so we couldn't get back to the college, and then proposed to get a room for ourselves. What exactly do you want to do?" Chu Zihang asked seriously.
