All my hunting commissions come from another world?

That gloating expression returned to Uesugi Kotsugi's face.

“Okay, I can help you with your immigration status and write you the recommendation letter for Kassel College, but you'll have to figure out the rest yourselves.”

"After all, I'm just an ordinary ramen chef. You can't rely on me for everything."

After finishing his sentence, Uesugi Koshi lay down on the recliner behind the ramen stall, his hands behind his head, looking quite content.

Even Zhou Si was somewhat ashamed of his shamelessness, but he still had one last thing he needed to trouble Uesugi Yue with.

That's Erii's story.

Are you familiar with pontine slit surgery?

"What surgery?"

The term Zhou Si uttered left Uesugi Yue somewhat bewildered. Zhou Si's expression darkened slightly. If even Uesugi's master, who previously held a prestigious position in the Snake Clan, didn't know, Erii's situation might be more complicated than imagined.

"What is the girl's background?"

The recliner swayed rhythmically with Uesugi Kotsu's movements, which was indeed a strange thing.

Previously, Uesugi Kotsushi thought that the two children from the inner three families were just puppets brought in by the current head of the family to fill the vacancy of the family head, but whether it was Genjiro or Erii, their bloodline had undoubtedly reached the level of the emperor.

Especially Erii, you should know that the Word Power Judgment is one place higher than his Word Power Black Sun on the Word Power periodic table.

Although the level of one's Word of Power does not necessarily represent the strength of a hybrid, it is a fact that Erii's bloodline is purer and more dangerous than his.

As the last Shadow Emperor, Uesugi Kotsushi's imperial bloodline should have ended with him.

Perhaps he really should go back and take a look.

"I understand, I'll look into it later."

Uesugi nodded. If someone really did control a hybrid with royal blood through the so-called pontine splitting surgery, then he, the former Shadow Emperor, couldn't stand idly by.

"Please, Master Uesugi."

"Hmph, I really want to thank you for inviting me to your wedding."

"...Actually, Erii and I aren't in that kind of relationship."

Uesugi Yue returned to his previous demeanor, but this time Zhou Si chose to explain, which earned her an eye roll from Uesugi Yue. "That little girl's eyes were glued to you the whole time. He's not senile yet."

"The stall is closing soon. This customer should hurry back home, or trouble might come knocking on your door."

Uesugi caught a glimpse of the tall figure in the distance and spoke up to remind Zhou Si, but Zhou Si just smiled and drank the last bowl of ramen soup in one gulp.

"What's meant to happen will happen, and some people aren't necessarily a problem, are they?"

After saying that, Zhou Si turned around and walked towards the figure.

"This young man... wait, did he just not pay this time?"

......

"Miss, may I ask what you need?"

Mai Shude pretended to be calm and stood still. The guy who was comparable to the Dragon King had already arrived in front of her. Although he looked like an ordinary young man in his early twenties, she dared not relax in the slightest.

"It's alright, Long Legs. Just use your usual charm to seduce him, and you'll be the Dragon King's wife."

Su Enxi's voice came clearly into her ears through the wireless headset, but the content made Jiu Demai's face darken. She was determined to make sure that brat couldn't get out of bed when she got back.

'Damn it, what kind of monster is this?'

Taking a deep breath, Mai Shude barely managed to overcome the trembling sensation of the dragon blood within her body. She looked at Zhou Si with a smile, her tone full of respect for a superior:

"Sir, our boss wants to make a deal with you."

"Why doesn't he handle the transactions himself?"

He pulled a white plastic chair from a nearby food stall and sat down. His golden dragon eyes stared at Mai Shude. In this world, the eyes of hybrids turn golden when they use their abilities. Zhou Si added special effects to his eyes with attribute energy while simulating Huihui's aura to put pressure on Mai Shude.

However, the local mixed-race individuals seemed to have a rather poor tolerance for stress. Even though Huihui was usually docile, Jiude Mai was almost frozen in place, trembling all over and unable to move.

"The boss is busy with important matters, so he asked me to tell him that he will visit in person later."

Although her jaw was chattering, Mai Shude still tried her best to relay her boss's words, but Zhou Si's expression was still not very satisfied.

"I understand, but if you want to relay this, the two of us can talk about it."

Zila

As soon as she finished speaking, a current of electricity swept through Mai Shude. After a few muffled crackling sounds, all the electronic devices on her body emitted wisps of black smoke and became ineffective.

"Long Legs, please don't die!!!"

Seeing that all the surveillance cameras around them were damaged, Su Enxi knew that the monster must have done something. She immediately picked up her phone from the table and dialed her boss's number.

Meanwhile, facing this somewhat desperate situation, Mai Shude instinctively gripped the syringe in her pocket. This thing could temporarily enhance her bloodline, and she was prepared to fight to the death.

"Sir, you've startled my girls a bit."

Just at this critical moment, a slightly tired, youthful voice rang out from behind Mai Shude, and a young man in an exquisite suit appeared beside her at some point.

"You still employ child labor?"

Zhou Si raised an eyebrow. This boy in the suit looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he spoke with a maturity beyond his years.

Moreover... Zhou Si looked around at the surrounding environment. At this moment, time seemed to have stopped on this street. Moths were hanging in the air under the streetlights, and in the distance, Master Uesugi was cleaning up the tragedy.

He had only seen such a scene once before, when he first met Miz, but the boy in front of him was clearly far inferior to Miz, and time here was not truly still.

"You're joking."

Unlike Mai Shude, who trembled at Huihui's presence, the young man in the suit showed no fear in his eyes when facing Zhou Si, as if he truly regarded him as an ordinary customer.

"Zhou Si".

"Lu Mingze."

The two sides finally exchanged names in a 'friendly' manner, suggesting that neither side wanted to cause a conflict.

"My daughter has already told you why I'm here. I wonder what Mr. Zhou thinks? Would you do me the honor of sitting down for a detailed discussion?"

Faced with the unknown entity before him, Lu Mingze chose a cautious and conservative approach to communication. After all, Zhou Si was powerful and could not be ignored, which made Lu Mingze, who was already somewhat overwhelmed, even more exhausted.

He hoped the matter could be resolved peacefully if possible; an uncontrolled and powerful entity was far too likely to disrupt his plans.

"of course can."

Zhou Si nodded, being very easy to talk to, but before Lu Mingze could speak, he and Jiu Demai noticed that a thick blood mist had somehow filled the air around them.

The surrounding scenery gradually became blurred in the blood mist, but when the mist dissipated, Lu Mingze and Jiu Demai found that the environment around them had changed.

The road became rough and uneven, and the ancient spires of the buildings emerged from the mist. A huge Victorian clock tower stood before them, as if they had traveled through time.

From 21st-century Japan, to 19th-century England.

Zhou Si remained seated on the white plastic chair, watching the expressions of the two people in front of her with great interest.

He didn't have any ill intentions towards the two of them. However, the boy named Lu Mingze didn't appear in front of him in his real body, and the scene of time standing still was just an illusion carefully created by this devilish boy.

Although Zhou Si didn't know much about illusions, he was very familiar with dreams!

So Zhou Si warmly invited Lu Mingze and Jiu Demai to visit Yanan's dream world.

After all, it's more reassuring to negotiate on your own home turf.

Zhou Si lightly tapped the chair armrest with her fingers, and the plastic armrest made a muffled sound. In an instant, the three of them moved from outside the Starry Clock Tower to the top of the clock tower.

Soft sunlight streamed through the gaps in the clock face onto Zhou Si. Maria, dressed in monk's robes, poured black tea for the group and then stood behind Zhou Si.

If Lu Mingze is a devil who tempts people to sign contracts, then Zhou Si at this moment exudes a kind of holy aura.

"Now we have time to talk properly."

Zhou Si put the warm black tea into her mouth and smiled kindly at the two guests sitting in front of her.

————————————————————————————

A few days later, Zhou Si, Erii, and Elini slowly disembarked from the plane.

Zhou Si and Erii, supporting the little bird who was clearly Li Boli but got airsick, walked towards the distant terminal building.

Several large characters were printed on the terminal building.

Fuzhou welcomes you!

Chapter Twelve: I see that you have extraordinary talent and are a martial arts prodigy, one in a million!

"Oh, little birds, try this! These fish balls taste pretty good!"

At a night market in Fuzhou, Zhou Si skewered a fish ball on a bamboo stick and held it to Alini's lips.

Under the gaze of the surrounding crowd, Elinie blushed and accepted the bamboo skewer from his hand. Being fed in front of so many people was still too exciting for Elinie.

Erii, standing to the side, happily swallowed the fish ball into her mouth. The savory broth burst in her mouth, and the smooth, bouncy fish meat bounced around. The delicious food made Erii squint her eyes. Zhou Si smiled and wiped the broth from the corner of her mouth with a tissue.

The people around them were practically grinding their teeth in frustration at the interaction between the three of them. So what if this guy is a little handsome and has a good physique? Why are two beautiful girls so close to him?

Finally arriving at a less crowded place, the little bird looked at the two people who had been eating and drinking carefree all the way and asked, feeling a little tired.

"We've been here for almost half a month, and every day we either go out to eat or stay in the hotel playing games. Aren't we here to do something worthwhile?"

She had wanted to ask this question for a long time. She had thought Zhou Si had his own plans, but now it seemed that the two of them were just playing around!

"But didn't Sister Bird have a lot of fun too?"

Erii held up her small notebook, and Eileen's expression froze for a moment before she began muttering something to herself:

"I just didn't want to spoil everyone's fun..."

"It's just an ordinary small city, what's so fun about it..."

"The game isn't that interesting; I'm just doing it to keep you guys company..."

Seeing the stubborn little bird, Zhou Si put on a helpless expression and placed the souvenirs she had just bought at the stall in front of Elena.

"You're usually too serious and earnest, which is why everyone on Rhodes Island finds you unapproachable."

Reaching out to take the little bird pendant from in front of her, Elena kicked a pebble aside and muttered somewhat disgruntledly:

"I didn't go to Rhodes Island to make friends."

That being said, the little bird was actually a little concerned about this, since she did have very few friends.

"The little bird sister is so gentle!!!"

Three big exclamation marks appeared in front of Eline. The little bird looked at the familiar little notebook in front of her, and when she looked up, she saw Erii's encouraging eyes.

"Elena looks so captivating when she's focused!"

"You don't need to say it..."

Zhou Si added a comment from the side, and Kotori quietly retorted before pulling Erii along and running towards the Regent Hotel.

"so good."

Watching the two figures leave, Zhou Si sighed softly, "If only things could always be this relaxed and enjoyable."

Unfortunately, Erii's health problems still hang like a sword of Damocles over her head, and will eventually fall.

Although Zhou Si seemed to be playing around all day, he was actually doing serious work while playing.

"I'm starting to feel like I've been tricked. Is that brat Lu Mingze trying to scam me?"

Zhou Si stood on the curb, quietly watching the seemingly ordinary boy not far away.

The boy was wearing a faded hoodie and carrying two disposable takeout containers. His habitual hunchback made his already tall figure appear shorter.

Her face was fairly pretty, but she exuded a deep-seated insecurity that dragged her average score down to rock bottom.

At that moment, he held a phone with a cracked screen to his ear, and the boy responded in a low voice to his hot-tempered relative on the other end of the line.

"Auntie, I bought it, I bought it, I'll be back soon."

"Do you need to go to the supermarket to buy a bottle of vinegar? Sure, no problem."

This kid's name is Lu Mingfei. Zhou Si didn't know him. She heard the name from that brat named Lu Mingze.

Although the atmosphere was somewhat tense at the time, Zhou Si did eventually reach a deal with Lu Mingze.

One of the reasons was that Lu Mingze told him the whereabouts of the pure-blooded dragon race, and the answer was quite simple.

As long as Zhou Si follows his brother Lu Mingfei, he will naturally encounter pure-blooded dragons, and even the legendary first-generation species may appear.
