Dragon Clan: No one wants me, Lu Mingfei.

Chapter 426 Xia Mi's Dark History and Pompeii's Surprise
At the end of 2003, the world had undergone many incredible changes. After the Wall Street explosion, the United States ushered in a new round of financial crisis. Many international brands such as Disneyland Paris were forced to close due to major accidents and then suffered from unknown capital sniping and stock prices plummeted. In order to eliminate the breeding of mold, the Middle East chose to plant a certain fungus...

In the mixed-blood world, after months of wrangling, the secret party and the eight Snake families finally reached an agreement on terms and signed a new cooperation agreement. They are still an important part of Kassel Academy!
Unfortunately, they failed to salvage the White King’s remains and bones from the black and red ocean, and were also targeted by animal protection organizations, marine protection organizations and the World Conservation Union, and there is a high probability that they will be extorted for a large sum of money.

The world is in chaos, but everything is stable in China. The epidemic is over and the nationwide campaign to crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil is going smoothly. It can be said that the country is peaceful and prosperous.

With the help of special consultants, the Dragon Group has also trained batches of talents, and a mixed-race academy exclusively for China is also under construction. It is said that the original pilot city was the consultant's residence, but after his stern rejection, it was changed to the capital.

However, time will not stop because of human conflicts.

The new year has finally arrived.

"The first snow of 2004 came later than usual~"

Lu Mingfei hummed a song while packing his luggage. Although according to what he learned in geography class, it basically wouldn't snow in their city with a subtropical monsoon climate, what if?

Which southern kid hasn't fantasized about playing in the snow?

"Lu Mingfei, where are you going to play with Xia Di?"

Lu Mingze, who successfully lost 15 kilograms last year but gained weight again after the holiday, put on festive new clothes and looked at Lu Mingfei with indescribable envy.

Although my mother sometimes mutters behind his back that this cousin is a dead kid with no father or mother’s love, it is obvious that he is not lacking in love. The handsome uncle next door almost raises Lu Mingfei as his own son.

Not only can he eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks at the Xia family next door every day, but he also has two super beautiful (occasionally three) girls to play with him.

No wonder Liu Chan was so happy in Shu at the beginning. If Lu Mingze was treated like this, he would not want to go home!

Unfortunately, the fact is that he can never become Lu Mingfei.

Whenever he saw Lu Mingfei go out happily early in the morning and come back when the lights were almost turned off at night, which was more punctual than his father Lu Gucheng's clocking in and out, Lu Mingze was so envious that he wanted to tinker with a time machine:
I traveled back to half a year ago, locked Lu Mingfei, who had sneaked out, at home, and ran to the park to wait for the uncle next door who would only appear outside when he went downstairs to take out the trash.

And now, it was just the first day of the Lunar New Year, and he had to put on festive clothes and go out with his parents to greet people and perform their talents to earn lucky money, while Lu Mingfei only needed to take a change of clothes and go on a New Year's trip with Xia Di.

The gap was so huge that Lu Mingze wanted to take his place.

Damn it, I also want a trip with free food and drinks and the company of a beautiful woman!

"Oh, this time we are going to the United States." Lu Mingfei stuffed his newly bought MP3 into his backpack. After checking it, he smiled and looked at the fat boy who had the same name as the profiteer:

"Uncle Xia said that he had kept something for too long and it was time to return it to its original owner. However, the owner of the item is not convenient to go abroad recently, so we have to deliver it to him."

"What needs to be sent abroad in person? Isn't there cross-border transportation?" The fat boy Lu Mingze was curious. Isn't Xia Di's main job next door a writer? If there are any important documents, can't they just fax them over?

"I don't know, I just know it's a big piece of stuff."

After packing up his things, Lu Mingfei didn't stay here for long. He put on his backpack, said goodbye to his uncle and aunt, and went out.

Next door, Xia Di finally took off his timeless floral shirt and casual pants and changed into a black long trench coat with a velvet collar, a slim-fitting expensive black suit, and an extremely flashy long white scarf. He looked like a combination of the Godfather and the God of Gamblers, exuding an extremely domineering aura.

Next to him, Xia Mi was wearing a waist-length pink down jacket with cream-colored jeans, a white beret on her head, and a pair of khaki boots on her feet. She looked like an elf walking out of the winter snow.

Eri, who was lying listlessly on the table, was wearing a British-style woolen coat and a Japanese sailor skirt underneath. Her slender legs were dangling in the air and were wrapped in warm tights. Her black leather shoes were embellished with two flying crystal butterflies.

Looking at the three people who were dressed as if they were going to walk on the catwalk, and then looking at himself wearing a bulky down jacket and cotton pants, Lu Mingfei felt that he was not joining this family but breaking it up.

It's just that it's a bit out of place.

"There's no time to change clothes, it's time to go!" Xia Di grabbed Lu Mingfei, who was about to run to change his clothes, and dragged him downstairs, and stuffed him into the old actor's jeep that had been parked there.

The first day of the Lunar New Year is very lively and full of the festive atmosphere. There are many vehicles on the road, and I don’t know whether they are visiting relatives or just returning from other places.

The jeep was driving slowly on the viaduct, and Lu Mingfei seemed to be thinking back to the day last summer when he somehow made Old Xia drive the car on a small road.

It was also from that time that he realized the true side of the world.

He was still very weak at that time, and would tremble with fear when facing a dozen Deadpools. But now, even if there is a Dragon King standing in front of him, he dares to walk up to her with a smile and ask her who she is.

In the back row, Xia Mi rested her head on Eri's shoulder and dozed off, silently wondering what surprise old Xia would prepare for her next.

When Eri had her birthday before, Xia Di prepared a gold version of a bronze Saint Seiya figure for her. Now it’s the turn of the noble and great King of Earth and Mountains. The display cannot be outdone by a human, right?
Besides, they are relatives listed in a family tree.

Even if there isn't a golden version of Eight Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, at least there should be a 1:1 restored golden version of Little Dragon Girl, right?

Soon, Xia Mi, who was dozing off, realized something was wrong. Her super perception told her that the jeep had arrived at a place she was very familiar with.

When she opened her eyes, she found that the car was driving through a dilapidated old neighborhood. The ground and the vehicles on both sides of the road were covered with red paper left by firecrackers, and the lush trees on both sides had withered and only dead branches were left.

"This is..." Xia Mi looked at the familiar large courtyard wall covered with ivy in front of her, and suddenly realized that she had not returned to this "home" for a long time.

"Surprised? Unexpected?" Xia Di didn't stop the car, but directly broke open the shabby iron gate with a rusty lock.

In the yard, the fallen leaves on the ground had been cleared. Chu Zihang, who was pushing a lawn mower in circles, dodged the flying iron and looked expressionlessly at the Xia family model group and his fellow apprentice brothers who got off the car.

"Oh, you're here so early." Xia Di picked up the lawn mower that was almost killed, turned around and asked:
"Where are Nuonuo and Xia Mo? Haven't they arrived yet?"

As they were talking, the door and windows of the villa, which were already covered with dust, opened, and a boy with wheat-colored skin and a girl with red hair poked their heads out, one with a silly smile and the other with an unhappy look.

"Why did you come just now?!" Nuonuo put the rag on the edge of the window and glared at Xia Di unhappily.

We had agreed to come early today to set up the scene and give Xia Mi a big surprise, but the person in charge was so late! "Don't worry, they are here." Xia Di looked around and instructed Lu Mingfei to take the firecrackers off the jeep and set them up.

"What are you doing?" Xia Mi didn't rush to care about why her stupid brother ran here alone, but pulled Eri forward to ask.

Seeing Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang filling the yard with two boxes of firecrackers, she wondered if Xia Di was afraid that she would be too bored during the winter vacation and found her a cleaning job.

Xia Di smiled mysteriously when he heard this and winked at Eri: "Do you know what happened when Eri and I first met?"

Xiaolongnu shook her head. She really didn’t know.

"Mr. Magician, please perform a magical spell for me." Although more than three months have passed, Eri still clearly remembers everything that happened on the night she met Xia Di.

"So, you want to perform a magic trick for me too?" Xia Mi looked at Xia Di, who was dressed in handsome clothes. It's amazing that he looked like those elegant magicians in the movies.

"Are you looking forward to it?" Xia Di took out a dry branch from behind him and used it as a magic wand, waving it in the air, leaving a string of sparks.

This kind of trifling trick is of no interest to Xia Mi. She can do it if she wants, but considering that this is the magical Xia Di, she has to give him some face.

Xia Mi nodded perfunctorily, her attention completely focused on the firecrackers all over the floor: "Be careful, don't set my house on fire."

It’s dry weather, so be careful with fire. There seems to be no fire hydrant in this old neighborhood... Oh, there doesn’t seem to be one.

"Don't worry, if it's lit, we can just replace it with a new one." Xia Di said, and without caring about the little dragon girl who was trying to bite him, he held the dead branch staff and pointed at the firecrackers arranged in a long dragon formation on the ground:
"Avada eats the big melon!"

A spell containing powerful magic was recited, and the long dragon of firecrackers was all ignited in an instant. Then, the sound of firecrackers was overwhelming in the old neighborhood, and the thick smoke from the explosion gradually enveloped the dilapidated villa in the forest.

"Cough cough——" Xiaolongnu, who had sharp five senses, was choked by the thick smoke. She resisted the urge to use her Word Spirit, Eye of the Wind King to clear the area. She thought to herself that if Xia Di didn't give her a good explanation, she would bite him to death later!
At this stage, there is no large-scale ban on the use of fireworks and firecrackers, so the noise here did not attract the attention of other people in the community. After all, in the past two years, Xia Mi was alone, and she would also learn from others to buy fireworks and firecrackers to play with and relieve her loneliness.

It’s just that the momentum is a little bigger this year, there’s nothing surprising about it.

Some children who liked to join in the fun went to the balcony, held onto the railings and looked towards the place where the smoke was billowing.

The sound of firecrackers that echoed through the sky stopped, and the thick smoke that enveloped the entire forest slowly dissipated under the breeze.

As the building shrouded in thick smoke became clearer, the children could not help but open their eyes wide, as if something incredible and incomprehensible appeared before their eyes.

"Mom, look, there's a big house over there!"

"Honey, the word for house should be "dong" or "ge", which is usually used to describe animals."

"Don't worry about it for now, really, there's a big and beautiful house over there!" The child held the railing with one hand and pointed in the direction where the firecrackers sounded with the other hand, his little face flushed red.

The woman who was talking to the guests had no choice but to get up and go to the balcony. She looked in the direction the child pointed and found that in the woods where all the leaves had fallen, an old villa covered with dead vines was vaguely visible. There was no beautiful big house at all.

"Baby, don't play pranks. Mommy still has to entertain guests."

"But I really..."

"Um--?!"

Feeling his mother's death gaze, the child could only shut up in grievance.

And in the beautiful big house he mentioned, there was a person who behaved just like he did just now, so surprised that he could hardly believe his eyes.

Xia Mi looked at the tall and clean courtyard wall, which was painted with the magnificent life of a certain king, and the large villa behind it that looked like a crawling dragon. She stood there for a long time, unable to speak.

"How is it? Do you like it?" Xia Di blew out the sparks on the top of the dead branch staff, raised his hand and waved it in front of Xiaolongnu, signaling her not to be in a daze and give a good review quickly.

"I like it...you big-headed ghost!"

Xiao Longnu grabbed the arm in front of her and pounced on her prey like a dragon. Two rows of snow-white sharp teeth pierced into Xia Di's flesh like nails, and her voice was full of anger:

“Why did you post my dark history?!
Why did you turn my house into the image of Fenrir? ! "

Yes, the exquisite relief on the newly renovated courtyard wall records the experience of the King of Earth and Mountains, who changed his name to the Hun King Arati, crossed the Alps, invaded Italy, occupied the city of Rome, and was finally poisoned by the most outstanding assassin of the Western Roman Secret Party.

It can be said that the more turbulent the first half of her life was, the more absurd and funny the final ending was. This is the dark history that Xia Mi has always been reluctant to mention.

Although all of that was deliberately arranged by her, she had already anticipated that she and her brother would encounter a fatal crisis and arranged everything in advance, but...

Damn the Romans!

Damn half-blood!
Although it was inappropriate to say such things on one's birthday, Xia Mi was indeed in a bad mood and wanted to find an Italian, preferably a half-blood from the secret party in Rome, to kill.

At this moment, Pompey, who was on vacation in Bali, suddenly shuddered all over and almost couldn't help but surrender on the spot.

Seeing this, the charming woman who was practicing horse riding on him couldn't help but grab his finger and put it in her mouth, looking at him seductively, as if to say that she was not satisfied yet.

But before Pompey could take over, the phone beside him rang.

Patting the boy's butt to signal him to move on his own, Pompey took the phone. His pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip in an instant, and the wounds from severe trauma could not help but burst out.

"Is the information true? He is leaving China to hunt Norton?!"
