Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 498 Don’t I look like a princess?

The cold mineral water flowed down my throat, washing away some of the fatigue and heat in my body.

Ling said he sat next to Lu Mingfei, but in fact he kept a fairly restrained distance from her. He didn't really sit next to Lu Mingfei like the little angel Liu Miaomiao and the others did usually, leaning against each other with the intimacy of a couple.

They simply sat side by side against the wall, with their slender arms wrapped around their not-so-long but well-proportioned legs. There was only a few centimeters of distance between them, delicately caught between friendliness and intimacy.

Just like in Lu Mingfei's memory, there was always a distance between him and Ling.

For no reason, Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered the famous lines from Wong Kar-wai's "Chungking Express".

"When I was closest to her, we were only 0.01 centimeters apart. I knew nothing about her. Six hours later, she fell in love with another man... Every day you have the opportunity to pass by someone. You may know nothing about him, but maybe one day he will become your friend or confidant."

He looked at Zero's fair, round shoulders exposed outside his clothes. The light reflected from the wall illuminated the corridor, making Zero's skin look unreal, as if he was a small ghost sitting next to him.

"What's wrong?" Ling seemed to have noticed his gaze and suddenly looked up and asked, "Are you not used to sitting next to you? Then I'll sit a little further away..."

“It’s okay!” Lu Mingfei stopped her immediately and quickly made up an excuse in his mind: “I just thought that we were sitting so close to each other, and if Senior Sister saw us, she might be unhappy again... But it shouldn’t be a big deal.”

"Do you care what she thinks?"

"Uh...I don't really care that much."

Ling shrugged, glanced to the side, then turned back to look at Lu Mingfei: "It's okay, they are still chatting. They won't notice us for the time being."

Lu Mingfei also turned his head to look to the side. Aki Shude and Selma were sitting a little distance away from them. From Lu Mingfei's direction, he could only see the profiles of the two girls.

The girls' sisterly chat seemed to have just ended. The slight grudge between them was cleared up in no time.

This was of course because the two of them had a pretty good relationship. Although Jude Aki was a year older than Selma, they often followed Mance to carry out missions together, so the two of them usually got along not like senior and junior sisters, but more like classmates. The little conflict just now was quickly resolved.

Lu Mingfei heard that the two people had changed the topic. He didn't know who started it first, but they suddenly changed the topic to the story that Ling had just told.

Selma said that although Zero's story was made up, it was very touching.

Yaji blinked and said in surprise, "Selma, haven't you seen Jackie Chan's movie "The Myth"? This is the plot of the movie "The Myth".

Selma shook her head and said she had never seen it. She had only seen a few of Jackie Chan's action movies. She asked if Jackie Chan had ever acted in a romance movie.

Lu Mingfei was listening to the conversation between the two girls and suddenly felt that if they were not in the underwater ruins hundreds of meters below the water, the scene of everyone sitting on the ground and chatting happily would have felt a bit like a spring camping outing.

Well... although he hasn't been camping many times.

By the way, wasn't Zero also next to me when we went camping last time?

After the successful completion of the "Bronze Plan", Caesar, the "Dragon Slayer" who defeated the King of Bronze and Fire with a storm torpedo, proposed to organize all the personnel who participated in the "Bronze Plan" to go camping in the suburbs of Chicago. He rented a piece of grass there.

But in the end Caesar himself did not go because the camping time happened to coincide with the time when Caesar, as an outstanding student, was invited to the principal's office for a tea talk.

No one could refuse the tea party in Angers, which was the highest honor of Kassel Academy.

Therefore, the mission was carried out by the professors who participated in it, Lu Mingfei, Ling and Nono, as well as a group of students that Lu Mingfei was not very familiar with.

Everyone at the camping site was teasing Lu Mingfei and Ling, because that was when the "S-class Dragonborn and Ice Princess" scandal was at its peak.

But everyone's excitement towards Lu Mingfei soon turned into disdain... because he actually ate both Ling and Nono's handmade lunch boxes at the same time! He accepted the food from two beauties!

These are some memories that are so long ago that they make me miss them a little bit...

Ye Sheng's voice suddenly interrupted Lu Mingfei's memories.

Turning around, I saw that Ye Sheng had sat down next to Selma at some point and joined in the conversation with a smile.

"Jackie Chan has acted in many types of movies, including romance movies."

Ye Sheng smiled and said, "But this movie is not strictly a romance movie. It has a lot of action scenes. It is also one of my favorite Jackie Chan movies."

"Does it look good?" Selma became interested.

"Well...I think you should stop watching, Selma."

"why?"

"I'm afraid you'll cry so hard that Professor Mance will think I'm bullying you..."

Lu Mingfei, who was eavesdropping on the conversation, thought to himself that it was a good thing that the 2007 TV series "The Myth" had not yet been released. If you had seen the TV series "The Myth", you would have been pissed off by the male lead Yi Xiaochuan...

However, when thinking about this, Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered, turned his head to look at Ling beside him, and asked in a low voice: "By the way, Ling, are you really a student in the Moscow preparatory class?"

He was a little worried that after they got out, Ye Sheng and the others might really go to Norma to verify Zero's identity file, and then find out that there was no information about Zero in the college files.

He wasn't afraid of being questioned, but he was a little worried that Professor Mance and the others would make things difficult for Zero.

Zero nodded: "It's true."

"That Professor Yelena..."

"Professor Yelena is in charge of the course "Dragon Genealogy" at Kassel College, and I am indeed in her research group."

I didn't expect that there really is such a professor in Kassel College.

Lu Mingfei scratched his head, wondering why he had no impression of this professor’s name… Was it because he had skipped too many classes in his previous life?

"Since there is no problem with your identity, Ling, then when you first met your senior brothers and sisters, when they asked you who you were, you said you were a princess of the Kushan Kingdom?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Don't I look like a princess?" Ling stared at Lu Mingfei and asked back.

If Liu Miaomiao said this to him, she was probably acting coquettishly towards him; if the little angel said this to him, she was probably being arrogant again; Chen Wenwen probably wouldn't be embarrassed to say this, the only scenario in which she would say this is when Lu Mingfei is teasing her.

As for Xia Mi?

Emmm...the Black King's daughter or something, can probably be considered a real princess?

But considering Zero's personality, such coquettish words obviously don't fit her character... Although there wasn't much emotion in Zero's tone, it didn't sound like she was being coquettish, but rather like she was stating a cold fact.

Lu Mingfei was so stunned that Ling couldn't help but think of the nickname that Ling had in Kassel Academy: the Iceberg Princess.

There is really only a wrong name, not a wrong nickname...

Seeing Ling's unreserved gaze looking at him, Lu Mingfei thought quietly and replied with gritted teeth.

"……picture."

Lu Mingfei was speaking the truth.

If we don't count the real princess Xiao Longnu, Ling's aura is indeed the closest to the stereotypical image of a princess in ordinary people's minds.

She is very beautiful, but not in the petite and pretty type like Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen, but in a very generous way.

Just like a graceful and elegant queen, she generously displays her beauty equally to all her subjects.

But her temperament was so cold and noble that her subjects dared only kneel down and prostrate themselves before her and dared not look up at her.

Coupled with her noble aura, anyone standing next to her would be suppressed and automatically downgraded to a servant. Even Chu Zihang standing next to her looked like a knight holding a horse for the princess. If we just talk about nobility, even Caesar would be suppressed by Ling Xiao.

After all, she was the third most beautiful girl in Lu Mingfei's heart just by her loli figure...

The first place is naturally the little dragon girl Xia Mi, the little goddess Su Xiaoqiang and Nuo Nuo are tied for second place... Well, the second place will be Jiude Mai?

Ling is slightly inferior to the above-mentioned families of Lu Mingfei and ranks third.

If Ling grows up a little bit, I'm afraid even the little angel may not be able to suppress her, right?
However, I don’t know if it was Lu Mingfei’s illusion.

Just as he gritted his teeth and finished saying those words, and his eyes unconsciously left Zero, he seemed to see a flash of satisfaction on Zero's face.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned his gaze back.

But when he looked at Ling's delicate face again, he was met with a pair of blue eyes as cold as ice. The emotions hidden under the ice-blue eyes were hard to guess, like the thoughts of a young girl.

Ling suddenly said: "I have read Lu Xun's books..."

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, thinking that the topic of this ice princess was a little too unexpected. How did she suddenly bring up Mr. Lu Xun?

"…He said, 'The Chinese people are always willing to compromise. For example, if you say that the room is too dark and you need to open a window, they will definitely not allow it. But if you advocate removing the roof, they will compromise and be willing to open the window.'"

Lingyong said softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I just feel that if I directly tell them that I'm a student of the college's preparatory class, they may not believe it. So I'll first tell them something they definitely won't believe, and then tell them that I'm a member of the preparatory class. This way, they should be more likely to believe it."

"..."

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but give Ling a thumbs up. You have figured out psychology.

"Didn't Senior Sister Aji ask you first? Senior Sister Aji is not Chinese." Lu Mingfei asked.

"It doesn't matter. It will happen sooner or later."

"what?"

"Yeah, it's nothing, don't worry about it."

As Ling spoke, he raised his eyes and glanced at the three people not far away: "By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you."

Lu Mingfei was already used to the Iceberg Princess' sudden change of attitude, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

"We must be lost." Zero said lightly.

……

The Iceberg Princess' voice was very light, as if she was giving a simple order to her personal male servant Lu Mingfei, saying that she didn't want to have breakfast today, wanted to wear a white dress, and wanted to put a purple iris in her golden hair. Her tone was so calm and calm.

But when Lu Mingfei heard this, his first reaction was...

I was tricked by Lu Mingze again!

Wasn't it agreed that this mission wasn't dangerous at all?
Why did he feel that this mission was much more troublesome than the one in Portugal? He solved the crisis while flirting with girls. When he set out, he only had one girlfriend in China, Liu Miaomiao. When he was ready to go back, he had one girlfriend in China and one girlfriend abroad.

It was okay that I was inexplicably washed away by the undercurrent when I was diving before, after all, I was saved by Zero in the end.

Combined with the dream of being kissed by an angel when he was half asleep and half awake, and the feeling of Ling's legs resting on his head when he woke up... Lu Mingfei probably guessed what Ling had done to him. He just didn't know how to bring it up to Ling.

But now they are lost in the underwater mausoleum, and they are also lost with Aki Selma, Ye Sheng, and Dr. Zhou. Not to mention that there is no mobile phone signal underwater, even the most basic water and food are not available, and they are completely in a state of food shortage.

Lu Mingfei quietly glanced in the direction of Aki. The two groups were separated by about four or five meters. They were still chatting and probably didn't notice their conversation.

Lu Mingfei lowered his voice a little more than before: "Zero, are you sure?"

Zero's voice was cold: "Sure."

"How did you find out we were lost?"

"We must have walked this road four times."

Ling said, "We arrived at this fork in the road an hour ago. There was no road in the direction of the 'gold level' at this fork. At that time, we took the first road from left to right, which was the road in the direction of the 'water level'. Twenty minutes later, we arrived at the same fork in the road. At first, I thought it was just my illusion, so I chose the 'water level' road again. Twenty minutes later, we circled back here. At that time, I knew we were lost. Out of caution, this time I chose the second road from left to right, which was the road in the direction of the 'wood level'..."

"Then we returned to this fork in the road?" Lu Mingfei asked with a frown.

He remembered that when they arrived at the fork in the road, Ling did ask Ye Sheng how long they had walked. Ye Sheng replied that it took about 20 minutes.

Zero said, "Yeah."

According to Zero's theory... this silver mausoleum was built according to the rules of the five elements of China. As long as you keep choosing the road in the direction of "gold", you can reach the exit. But there is no road in the direction of "gold" at this fork in the road. There are only three directions of "wood", "water" and "fire".

Lu Mingfei hesitated and said, "That means there is only one left..."

Ling nodded: "There is only one dead end left."
