Lu Mingfei Development Program

Chapter 515 The Lost Heart of the Dragon King

"Although I am frightened by the king's clever behavior, I have to say it is also a brilliant move." Ye Suli praised sincerely.

Yuan Cheng was so angry that he laughed: "Then tell me what's the trick?"

Ye Suli said calmly: "I know that the king is eager to enrich the country and strengthen the army, but it is wise to be frank in front of the celestial being. I think that although the celestial being is mysterious, he is also a casual person. If the king is more frank, maybe he will look at him differently."

"Bah! You're not the one who needs to turn into a pig's head. It's easy for you to say!" Yuan Cheng cursed.

He had drunk a few sips of wine during the banquet just now, and he was a little excited under the influence of alcohol. Now that he was sober, he listened to Ye Suli's stories about the gods punishing those who did not follow the law, and all he was left with was fear.

Yuan Cheng was quite self-aware. Ye Suli thought he was a real villain, which was indeed true. Even if he didn't do anything to offend the gods, he deserved to be turned into a pig's head.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Princess Chun has also won the favor of the gods. The Zhongshan Kingdom can only rely on you two now." Ye Suli said earnestly.

It would have been better if he hadn't said this. Once he said it, Yuan Cheng became even angrier. He wanted to call the guards in immediately, pin this guy down and chop off his head.

He gnashed his teeth and said, "If you hadn't said that Lu Mingfei had a heavenly appearance, even if he wasn't a heavenly appearance, he would still be a rare talent, why would I bring that girl along when I have nothing better to do?"

Ye Suli's letter did not mention Yuan Chun, but just by looking at the adjectives, one can tell what this guy is thinking. Yuan Cheng was also bewitched and believed in this guy's evil.

Although she didn't get along with him, Yuan Chun was still his biological daughter. Although she had done many things to cheat her father, she had never cheated her daughter... Well, it wasn't that she had never done it, but to let her daughter become a pig head together with herself was...

Yuan Cheng paused for a moment, and suddenly he was no longer panicked. If he was the only one who suffered, he would naturally be unwilling, but if two people suffered, he inexplicably felt much more relaxed.

Furthermore, the so-called punishment from heaven was nothing more than Ye Suli’s own guess, and maybe just a story to scare children.

Ye Suli said: "Your Majesty, your words are too serious. Princess Chun behaved properly throughout the whole process...Except for the quarrel with the King at the end, which was unworthy of a princess, there is nothing wrong with her."

"You shameless old man, you're not planning on taking advantage of Yuan Chun, are you?" Yuan Cheng was furious. "I think you'd better chop off your head as soon as possible!"

After saying that, he called the guards in.

"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words! I never said that!" Ye Suli panicked, "The will of heaven and man cannot be guessed, Your Majesty, please stop making irresponsible comments about heaven and man."

Yuan Cheng stopped talking. Although this old guy became more shameless after being persuaded by him to act like a villain, beheading could not scare him.

He calmed down: "What should I do next?"

This statement is beneath the dignity of the king, but didn't he invite this old guy out of retirement just to solve the problem?

"Don't say anything, don't do anything, just let it go." Ye Suli said, "It's easier to invite a god than to send him away. When the Xia army arrives, let Master Lu go with them to Marston. If the king is ill and doesn't go, then won't the problem be solved?"

"Just let him go like that?" Yuan Cheng was a little unwilling.

He also knew that it was easier to invite a god than to send him away, so he didn't blame Ye Suli for bringing back such a god who he didn't know whether was a blessing or a curse. As a former businessman, he knew that doing business involves both gains and losses. Similarly, governing a country involves both opportunities and risks.

However, from a businessman's perspective, he invested so much but got nothing in return... Not to mention Hara Makoto, no one can stand it.

"The good relationship has been established, the king just needs to do what he should do. As for the rest, it depends on God's will." Ye Suli persuaded, "The celestial being has only been here for one day, and the future is still unknown. How can the king work in vain?"

Yuan Cheng sighed deeply: "Forget it, this is the only way."

After hearing what Ye Suli said, he felt much more relaxed. This is how villains are. They don't want things they can't get. Without the gods, he can still make the country rich and strong, and still be invincible in the world!
There was a sudden knock on the door of the secret room, and Yuan Cheng frowned.

He had already ordered that when he and Ye Suli were discussing matters, no one could disturb them unless Chu Shunhua came or the Westerners arrived at the door. At this time, even if Princess Chun wanted to usurp the throne and burn down the palace, she could do it.

"What's the matter?" Yuan Cheng still let the person outside in.

"My Lord, something bad has happened!" The guard who reported the news was horrified, "Iron Golem! The Westerners' Iron Golem appeared outside the capital!"

Yuan Cheng was stunned. It was really a Westerner calling!

……

Lu Mingfei was taken to the residence for entertaining distinguished guests. He asked the servants who wanted to stay to leave and began to rest.

In the pure white spiritual space, Izanami, who was wearing pure white ancient clothes and whose hair was as white as snow, said with a headache: "Your consciousness actually woke up in someone else's body, this is really..."

Lu Mingfei looked calm. He told Izanami about how he woke up in Xizel's body.

Izanami thought for a moment: "This is similar to the way a dragon forms a cocoon. After the dragon dies, its consciousness will revive in the cocoon."

"But this matter obviously has nothing to do with cocooning." Lu Mingfei said softly.

“Not necessarily.” Izanami rejected Lu Mingfei’s opinion. The only different-colored golden pupil on her pure white body looked at him silently, “Living things can also become cocoons.”

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he had heard of such a thing. After all, although his level of evolution had surpassed that of dragons, he could not be considered a complete dragon... at least in terms of consciousness.

"Although I also think it's impossible for that boy to have cocoons, but it looks very similar, doesn't it?" Izanami said softly, "This reminds me of something about you."

Lu Mingfei looked at her: "What?"

The golden eyes watched silently, and some confusion appeared on the flawless white cheeks: "It's about your evolution."

"Go on." Lu Mingfei looked at her.

"I was wondering why a being like you would need something like the Path to Godhood." Izanami continued, "It was originally created by the lowly dragonborn to extract the power from their bloodline."

She looked at Lu Mingfei with some doubt: "Although the power brought by the Road to Deification is real, the price is the loss of sanity. Any intelligent dragon will not choose this way of evolution. Devouring each other is the most suitable way for dragons to evolve." "You want to ask, why can I stay sane?" Lu Mingfei looked at her and asked.

Izanami shook her head: "No, the Dragon King was born at the top of evolution. Even the incomplete Dragon Kings born after me have the Heart of a Dragon King. That makes them stand at the top of their species and is proof of their status as kings."

"The Heart of the Dragon King..." Lu Mingfei naturally knew this.

When the blood rush reaches the third stage, the Dragon King's Heart will be released. It can be said that the entire blood rush process is a preparation for the release of the Dragon King's Heart. And this extremely violent power comes at the cost of losing the original sanity.

In Sunan Nibelung, the existence that is suspected to be Chu Yuwei's past or future is in this stage.

But not everyone can obtain such violent power, Chu Yuyi is an exception. The rest who tried to use this power were devoured by violence without exception, becoming like Deadpool, and then being devoured by real dragons.

And Lu Mingfei, naturally, also possesses the Heart of the Dragon King, but without any negative effects.

With her white fingertips pressed against Lu Mingfei's chest, Izanami said softly: "The Path to the Gods is of no use to you, because judging from your current level of evolution, you should have had the Heart of the Dragon King when you were born."

Lu Mingfei paused, then reached out and gently stroked his chest: "In other words, during the blood burst, I was actually just reshaping my Dragon King's Heart..."

The truth was revealed. No wonder he didn't feel any discomfort when using the forbidden method of blood burst. When the blood burst level increased, it felt like it was a natural thing, as if it was supposed to be this way.

Izanami's golden eyes stared at Lu Mingfei. Her face was so close to Lu Mingfei that the latter could smell the cool scent of snowflakes on her body.

There was no concept of taste in such a space composed of spiritual elements, but Izanami was the monarch who controlled the spiritual elements. If she had not become a prisoner, she could even have built a high heaven in Lu Mingfei's mind.

“What a pity…” Izanami’s snow-white face once again showed regret. “After you took over everything from me, all your vacancies were filled, and the Heart of the Dragon King was re-condensed, even becoming more powerful than before. Even I can’t tell whether your Heart of the Dragon King has been removed by anyone.”

Lu Mingfei was silent for a long time before he sighed. He finally understood what was missing from his world...

Suddenly, he felt a surge of violence, as if a will that wanted to destroy everything was roaring.

Without time to elaborate with Izanami, his consciousness left the spiritual space, and then he looked at the scene in front of him in surprise: "Xizel, what are you doing!"

……

Today was another drizzly day in Marston, and the quiet campus of the Royal Mechanical College was shrouded in white mist. Behind the campus dormitory, César got up early.

...Well, actually he didn't sleep all night.

What happened yesterday was definitely the strangest day in his life. His body was taken away by that devil-like existence, and then he used magic-like abilities to easily win the prize that would have cost him a lot of money.

Faced with such a situation, Xizel thought that no one could sleep. So he worked in the warehouse all night, and then went to the classroom early. Today he had the principal's course "The Evolution of Mechanics".

Whether boys or girls, no one wanted to give the principal the impression of being absent, so the lecture hall was already packed before class started.

As soon as César entered the classroom, someone waved to him from the back of the lecture hall. It was Minet.

After walking to the seat that his friend had reserved for him and sitting down, Xizel turned his head and looked at Minai who was looking at him in surprise: "What's wrong?"

"…Nothing." Minai scratched his head in confusion. "I just thought you were a little strange yesterday. Now I feel relieved to see you like this."

Xizel's heart moved, but he didn't explain too much. Just like when he treated his sister, he didn't want others to know that he was found by the devil-like existence.

Coming from Florence, he knew that the Inquisition would tie innocent people to the cross and burn them to death, but they would probably not let go of someone like him who was targeted by the true "devil."

He calmly waited for the class to start. Since he had left Florence, everything that happened there had nothing to do with him anymore.

Suddenly, there was a shouting voice outside the lecture hall, and the principal walked in cursing, followed by teacher Andes, who was wet and looked disheveled as if he had slept in a pond all night.

The latter was the manager of the college warehouse, and he was originally responsible for the machinery inside. At the same time, it was he who provided César with an opportunity to work and study, so that he and his sister could have some living expenses.

Of course, because of his personality, Teacher Andes was very unpopular, so much so that when people saw his miserable appearance, both boys and girls in the classroom laughed.

Then the laughter was drowned out by the principal's anger. Xizel listened and found out that the reason why the principal was so angry was that he gave the task of organizing the academy's mobile armor to Andes and specifically instructed him to use it in today's class.

Andes really lived up to expectations and successfully messed up the matter. He returned to the college drunkenly from the Customs Street in the lower city and actually fell asleep outside the warehouse!
When the principal found him, he woke up groggily, sneezing, and complained that he felt sick from drinking last night...

Xizel raised his hand. Principal Roman, who was furious at the podium, was stunned for a moment: "You are... Xizel, right? What can I do for you?"

Xizel replied calmly: "If the mobile armors that the principal is talking about are the 'Chakravartin' and the 'Vajra Warrior', I just had them serviced last night."

He had no mood to sleep last night, nor did he want to sit idle all night, so he was busy in the warehouse all night, maintaining some machines that were not often used, including the two motorized armors needed by the principal.

The principal was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say for a moment.

The school leaders actually knew that César was fighting in an underground fighting arena. They hated such disobedient students. But except for his poor sports performance, César was perfect and they could not find any fault with him.

Besides, no one except him was willing to do such dirty and tiring work as maintaining machinery, which made it difficult for him to treat César with a bad face.

The principal glanced at Andes, who was smiling awkwardly, with an unfriendly look: "You should thank César."

The two armors were quickly transported over, and the class was able to proceed normally. Seeing that a lot of time had been wasted, the principal directly announced what to do in this class - driving the two mobile armors and making them move.

Those who succeed in doing so will be given a place as a candidate for the President's Scholarship.

Xizel's heart moved, and he raised his hand without hesitation. Even though yesterday's victory made him not short of gold coins for a short time, he would not miss the principal's scholarship, which was almost a ticket to live the life that Adele wanted him to live.
