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

"In the end, he will still become Deadpool..."

"No, I will never let you die. You're wrong, it's not three times, it's four times. The four times the Dragon King's blood should buy you enough time." Lu Mingfei lowered his eyes and said slowly, "On my hunting list, there is a Dragon King who must die!"

"Who?"

"That's my second request." Lu Mingfei put away his middle finger. "On my own, I'm no match for him, but with your help, the outcome will be completely different... I must kill the White Nightmare!"

"White...white!" Xia Mi muttered, her pupils widening. "Did Fenrir just hit your brain? Do you know what you are saying? He no longer exists in this world!"

"No, he will be reborn! I am very clear-headed. That is an inevitable fate. I will definitely kill him... If he doesn't die, it will be my death!" Lu Mingfei's tone was more solemn than ever.

He raised his head, and deep in his golden pupils it seemed as if a dragon was raising its head, ready to roar at the whole world.

Xia Mi was stunned and speechless. After a long silence, she said, "I'm afraid of you. After plotting against the four monarchs, who else do you want to plot against? Just how big is your ambition? Do you want to usher in a new era?"

"I don't have any ambitions, and I've never thought about doing anything earth-shattering like opening up a new era or saving the world. I just want to save a girl and some... friends who shouldn't have died." Lu Mingfei said softly.

He squinted his eyes, and his gaze seemed to travel thousands of miles to the distant other side, where endless people and things were waiting for him.

He has been keeping his life just waiting for... the day when he will give it up!

"I can't see through you." Xia Mi said, "What's your last request?"

"Let's completely seal off this Nibelungen and leave Fenrir here for now so no one can find him. Close the door, and we'll come back occasionally to check on him."

"I would do the same even if you didn't tell me." Xia Mi nodded.

"Since you've said that, this isn't really a request. It doesn't take up a spot. Wait while I think of another one."

"Hey, hey, hey, are you taking advantage of the situation?" Xia Mi protested.

"No, no, you see, I haven't even put down my last finger yet." Lu Mingfei shook his index finger which had been raised all the time.

"If you have to fart, do it quickly!" Xia Mi said unhappily.

"Odin!"

Lu Mingfei's face changed and his playful expression disappeared. He looked serious as if a priest was reciting some secrets from the code.

"What the hell is Odin?"

After a short transition, we enter the Tokyo chapter. Be sure to follow it, everyone.

Chapter 169 I am Mingming’s friend, my name is Lao Tang

"Odin?" Xia Mi murmured the name in a low voice.

She lowered her head, her gaze fixed on Chu Zihang's shoulder, where there was a red mark that had condensed into a half-rotten giant tree.

"Are you asking about Odin because of the mark on Chu Zihang's shoulder?" Xia Mi asked, "There are very few people in this world who have seen Odin in person, and he is one of them."

"So what does this brand represent? It shouldn't be that everyone who enters Nibelungen will leave such a mark, right?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"As far as I know, there are many Nibelungs in this world, such as the Bronze City under the Yangtze River that I have been to, and the subway built by you and Fenrir. If these Nibelungs were not closed, I could come back following my memory, but these Nibelungs did not leave a mark on me and my senior brother, except for the time with Odin." Lu Mingfei said.

"It's different. Odin's Nibelung is different from ours." Xia Mi whispered, "Chu Zihang was chosen by Odin, although I don't know why Odin chose him. I first contacted him because I was attracted by Odin's mark. I wanted to know about Odin, but he never went back. Alas, my beauty was sacrificed in vain."

"So Odin also has a significant attraction to the Dragon King? He's willing to pay any price to find out. Does that mean he's not the Dragon King himself?" Lu Mingfei frowned. "Then what could he be?"

"When the spiritual contract reaches its final chapter, the miracle of 'the only thing' is created."

“One created all things, and all things were born from One.”

"It can rise from the ground to the sky, and then it can descend to the ground again, gathering all the power of the upper and lower realms."

"Through this, you will gain the greatest glory in the world, and all darkness will disappear from you."

"This is the strongest of all powerful forces. It can transcend all subtle things and penetrate all solid bodies."

"The world was created in such a way that the gods were born toward death."

"God said...it cannot be explained."

Xia Mi suddenly recited a long passage of maxims in a low voice.

"Is this the Emerald Jade Record? No, it contains more than the Emerald Jade Record." Lu Mingfei murmured, "A spiritual contract? Gods born towards death? Could it be referring to..."

"Spiritual contract" probably refers to some dangerous technology. Does "Gods are born towards death" mean that by completing that dead end road, one can truly become a god?

Xia Mi suddenly stretched out a finger and pressed it against the center of Lu Mingfei's lips. "Stop, stop! Even the gods say you can't say that!"

"I've agreed to all your requests." Xia Mi stared into Lu Mingfei's eyes. "You just said that you hope our agreement will be a win-win situation. So, what can I get from you in the end?"

"I've handed my dear senior brother over to you. You picked up such a cool guy for no reason. If it were Senior Sister Susie, I'd probably laugh so hard that her mouth would cramp. Are you still not satisfied?" Lu Mingfei grinned, with an expression that asked for a beating.

"Hey, are you playing with the dragon?" Xia Mi's big dark eyes widened.

"Just kidding." Lu Mingfei waved his hand. "I told you, I know what you want. The textbook on 'Dragon Clan Theory' says, 'The King's bloodline is already at its peak.' This statement is actually true. Mixed-bloods can use the 'Blood Rage Technique' to refine their bloodline, increasing the proportion of dragon blood in their bodies to exceed the domain threshold. But the Dragon King is pure-blooded, and his bloodline cannot be purified further. So the way to go further is..."

"Devour their own kind." Xia Mi took over Lu Mingfei's words. "Yes, I don't deny it. This is the nature of dragons. They pursue power and strength. There is only one supreme throne, and everyone wants to sit on it, to hold supreme power and authority in their hands... Isn't it the same for humans? Once the war breaks out, if you don't eat others, you will be eaten."

"What a simple and brutal truth! Just saying it out loud gives off a bloody smell." Lu Mingfei looked at Xia Mi. "But if this is really his nature, why has your brother never thought of eating you?"

Xia Mi was startled, lowered her head, and said softly, "He's like a child. What do children know..."

"'Nature' is something ingrained in us. If what you say is true, your brother's childlike nature wouldn't have allowed him to stifle his nature, but he's never considered eating you," Lu Mingfei said. "Dragons, like humans, were initially mere children born into this world. A child's world is pure, beautiful, and clean."

"The difference between adults and children is that adults' greatest struggle with the world is to avoid being eaten and to survive; while children's greatest struggle with the world is to avoid being polluted and becoming a monster whose only thought is how to eat others in one bite."

The deathly silence lasted for a long time.

"You're right. 'Theory of Nature' is just an excuse to cover up one's own greed. At heart, he's still a man-eating monster." Xia Mi said frankly, then rolled her eyes. "Is this what you've given me? Fatherly teachings and principles greater than the heavens? Should I praise you for being so thoughtful, Senior Brother Lu?"

"Hey, of course I'm not that stingy. I never thought of sending you away with just a few words." Lu Mingfei said, "What you want is nothing more than the Dragon Bone Cross to strengthen your bloodline. But the Dragon Bone Cross is the remains of the Dragon King. It is only produced after death and contains almost all of the Dragon King's essence and power. If you want the Dragon Bone Cross, you must kill the Dragon King!"

"Don't you understand it very clearly?" Xia Mi said, "From what you said, it seems as if you can get me a Dragon Bone Cross."

"You're not going to promise me that you'll leave the Dragon Bone Cross to me when the next Dragon King appears, are you? You're just empty talk. Do you know when the sky, wind, ocean, and water will appear? It could be decades, or it could be thousands of years!" Xia Mi snorted.

"Is your imagination limited to this?" Lu Mingfei suddenly asked.

"What do you mean?" Xia Mi was stunned.

"I'm saying your ambition is limited to the Dragon Bone Cross? Are you satisfied with devouring the corpse of one of your own kind? That way you can truly become the Queen of the Nibelungen? Pull Odin down from the altar?" Lu Mingfei's tone revealed an unconcealable madness. "Have you never thought about stealing something even crazier?"

"You don't mean..."

"You guessed right, something left behind by my target, that white nightmare!" Lu Mingfei looked at Xia Mi's eyes, which were filled with shock. "I need his blood to cleanse my brother's body and eliminate the aftereffects of 'violent blood'. Of course, I also need his bones, which symbolize an authority higher than the Dragon Bone Cross!"

"Hey, hey, hey, you are not kidding, are you? You would give me something like that? Are you crazy?" Xia Mi asked in shock.

"Of course not all of it, but even a part of it is far more attractive to you than the Dragon Bone Cross. We have a common goal and a common enemy." Lu Mingfei whispered, "More than one, more than two..."

"We are all pushed forward by fate. It's a dangerous road strewn with thorns. If we stop, we will lose something precious. Maybe it's our life, maybe it's our soul, maybe it's someone more important than life. If you don't want to experience loss, you must make yourself stronger and more ruthless, and win over as many people like you as possible... eventually, you will become a madman!"

"Hey, isn't there anyone who isn't afraid of lunatics? Everyone is afraid of them. Even shit like fate... has to give way to lunatics!"

Lu Mingfei said this fiercely, looking as if he would pull out a baseball bat and smash everything around him in the next second. A closer look into his eyes revealed his true self deep within. He was a true madman!

Xia Mi looked at Lu Mingfei, savoring the lingering madness in his words. She was silent for a long moment, then regained consciousness and patted her chest. "I'm so scared! I actually wanted to become an enemy of a guy like you?"

"Don't worry, don't worry. I don't get crazy all the time. Most of the time, I'm easier to talk to than normal people, okay?" Lu Mingfei waved his hand. "Besides, I should be the one who's scared. Scheming against a real Dragon Queen and then speaking nonsense to her is exciting just thinking about it... It's like Liu Bei and Lu Bu fighting, and suddenly he persuades Lu Bu to get along with him from now on, and then he doesn't forget to brag: Big pot, your armor is not as good-looking as mine!"

Xia Mi chuckled, and Lu Mingfei took off his coat and put it on her. "I'll leave the matter of closing the Nibelungen to you. I think you still have something to say to your brother. I'll take my brother away first. If this goes on, we might meet at his funeral in a few days."

Lu Mingfei placed Chu Zihang on his shoulders, and wrapped his arms around his waist and held him up from behind. He was very careful with his movements, as if he was afraid of accidentally breaking the body covered in blood and scars.

Xia Mi left her own blood on Chu Zihang, but it was no longer the poisonous, violent blood. The Dragon King's blood was seeping through his skin, repairing his internal organs and blood vessels. Chu Zihang's previously weak heart began to beat strongly, and his gossamer breathing gradually became regular.

"Congratulations, Brother, you've already taken the lead in overcoming a thorny obstacle... But life still has a long way to go. I hope you can overcome more thorns in the future and not get lost along the way... You and I are the same."

The boy carried his senior brother on his back, feeling heavy, and walked towards the dark train deep in the mine. His low voice lingered in the empty tunnel for a long time.

It sounded like a heartfelt congratulation, but also like a solemn oath.

……

"That person looks weird."

"I saw it too, he looks like a dog."

On the 18-inch TV, "A Chinese Odyssey" played to its final credits, with Zhizunbao transformed into Sun Wukong. The Monkey King, carrying his golden cudgel, walked away from the crowd. A couple on the city wall, resembling Zhizunbao and Zixia, teasingly recited the final dialogue behind the Monkey King.

The Monkey King's golden hoop was knitted tightly against his brows, and his downcast eyes were filled with belated self-mockery.

Because it was too late, I missed it. Because I missed it, I could only leave behind my back and become a dejected loser.

Fenrir laughed so hard that he fell backwards, and his huge body shook off layers of wall dust. Old Tang sat next to him and watched this scene with him, but he didn't laugh.

When Xia Mi and Chu Zihang stopped fighting, they reconciled. Fenrir kept pleading, "Uncle, will you watch TV with me? Uncle, will you watch TV with me?" He seemed to hold no grudge, having completely forgotten the multiple slashes he'd been stabbed in. Old Tang couldn't resist, so he inserted "Rage" into the distance. Man and dragon leaned shoulder to shoulder, eating chips and watching TV.

Xia Mi watched this scene from afar, seeing Fenrir bursting into laughter at the words "like a dog." This line was originally the film's highlight, satirizing impotent love and the cruelty of reality, but the child didn't understand; he simply thought it was funny and laughed. Xia Mi suddenly remembered what Lu Mingfei had just said: dragons, like humans, were children born into this world. The world of children is pure...

"It seems like I lost completely." Xia Mi laughed at herself and walked towards Fenrir and Lao Tang.

"Sister, have you finished your quarrel with big brother?" Fenrir asked with eyes as big as copper bells, his eyes full of curiosity.

This single-celled behemoth had no idea what was going on. His limited intelligence was not enough for him to understand the love-hate relationship between Xia Mi and Chu Zihang. In his opinion, the fierce battle between the two men who were fighting for their lives just now could probably be regarded as just a "quarrel."

"Yeah, we're reconciled." Xia Mi said softly, and a gust of wind lifted her up to Fenrir's neck. She gently stroked the bloody wound on the giant creature, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt." The dragon's head gently stroked Xia Mi's slender palm, like a giant puppy acting coquettishly to its owner after being injured.

"Hey, Norton, didn't you hit my brother too hard? He didn't hit you." Xia Mi glanced at Old Tang viciously, like a tigress protecting her cub.

"But he beat Constantine many times, and each time he hit him hard." Old Tang's face was full of indifference.

"That's two different things!" Xia Mi snorted and scolded, "That's why I never liked you. Your personality is as annoying as ever!"

"Who asked you to like me? If you liked me, I would be afraid that Chu Zihang would get furious and come to fight me." Old Tang rolled his eyes.

"Chu Zihang wouldn't... Ahhhhh, it's true that talking to a guy like you can make me angry to death!" Xia Mi was almost crazy.

Fenrir's huge pupils rolled around, looking at this and that.

"I can feel that you have begun to awaken, perhaps not completely yet. But given your position, why should you help Lu Mingfei?" Xia Mi suddenly asked.

"He guarded Constantine. Constantine's dragon servant died, but Samson is still here. He has guarded the Bronze City for a thousand years." Old Tang's tone was more serious than ever. "Samson told me that if it weren't for Lu Mingfei, Constantine would probably have been found and taken away by those people from Cassel... A hybrid got a dragon king embryo, you should know what would have happened to Constantine."

After a long silence, "Norton, you have changed." Xia Mi said softly.

"Bullshit, I forgot the name a long time ago." Old Tang's eyebrows drooped again, twitching.

"I'm Mingming's friend. My name is Lao Tang."

Chapter 170 Flowers Blooming in the Heart

Lu Mingfei carried Chu Zihang to the exit of the "Black Stone" subway station.

A broken iron-gray Nissan truck was parked in the most conspicuous position at the intersection, with a stamped orange-yellow ticket on it for "illegal parking on the sidewalk," with a fine of three cents and two hundred yuan.

There was a pink sticky note with crooked Chinese characters written on it right above the ticket.

[If you take a taxi while carrying a naked and bloody guy on your back, you will be arrested by the police. Don't be touched. I am just as considerate as always.

PS: Remember to pay the ticket. The gas in the mailbox may be a little low, so fill it up.

Your dearest senior brother, who is even more handsome than Chu Zihang.]

"This guy..." Lu Mingfei tore off the ticket and the note and put them in his pocket, smiling silently, "So thoughtful? In that case, I'll just admit that you're handsome... but only this once!"

Putting Chu Zihang in the back seat, he took the driver's seat, started the car, pulled the handbrake, and shifted gears. He then released the clutch and slammed the accelerator. The old Nissan's engine made a dull protest, and the tires gripped the road fiercely, and the car rushed out like a roaring beast.

The gray Nissan cut through the morning rush hour traffic like a sharp knife. Drivers of Mercedes-Benz and BMW cars, fearing that their cars would be scratched, made way for it, shouting authentic Beijing curses.

But Lu Mingfei turned a deaf ear to him. He didn't know what he was thinking about or who, and suddenly he hummed an old Japanese song, "Sudden Love", the theme song of the very famous Japanese drama "Tokyo Love Story".

At this time, the morning sun emerged from a tall building in the distance, and the golden glow flowed on the boy's upturned mouth like a winding stream. He happened to hum his favorite part of this old song.

"I like you more every day."

"I love you more than I do now."

"Everything I have has crossed the barriers of time and space to come to you."

The corners of his mouth rose again, and the sunlight shone lightly on his lips. The sun's brilliance seemed to be slightly inferior to the boy's smile.

The world has never been so bright.

……

10am, Kempinski Hotel, Paulaner Bräuhaus.

It wasn't peak drinking season, and the brewery was sparsely populated. The waitresses, dressed in Bavarian dresses, had some free time, sitting in groups of two or three at the tables near the beer cabinet. They gently lifted their skirts to avoid staining the floor, revealing their beautiful calves clad in sheer stockings. They chatted among themselves, their eyes uniformly glancing at the man in the corner.
