Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 570: Conversation between Jiude Sisters
"This is……"

Jiude Mai frowned: "A ship?"

From the slightly distorted and blurry picture, one can barely make out the outline of a ship. The reason why only the outline can be distinguished is that the alien object in the picture is almost completely covered by layers of lung snails.

The ship is estimated to be a hundred meters long, half of it inserted into the seabed, and the part exposed on the seabed is covered with lung snails, which makes people unconsciously think of the belly of a whale covered with barnacles.

"A ship. I don't know when it sank to the bottom of the sea. It looks like it's quite old."

Aki nodded, her finger falling on a certain spot on the photo: "But these are not important. What's important is this thing wrapped around the hull. Sister, you can take a look."

When the word "sister" came to mind, Lu Mingfei noticed that Jiude Mai's body trembled unconsciously, but the expression on her face was still as calm as ever.

She bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes followed Aki's fingers, and she accepted the title naturally.

"Isn't it seaweed or parasitic coral or something like that?" Jiude Mai asked, frowning her beautiful eyebrows.

To be honest, the resolution of the photo was quite low, and the shooting environment in the deep sea was too dim. She couldn't tell whether it was seaweed or something else growing on the hull of the ship, causing the appearance of the ship to be completely changed, and there was some strange structure covering the surface of the ship.

So much so that when Jude Mai saw this thing for the first time, she almost mistook it for a giant creature rather than a shipwreck.

"Do not."

Aki said softly, "It can't be seaweed or coral. They can't have structures like tendons and fascia."

Yes, that's not seaweed...

Lu Mingfei said silently in his heart. He and Xia Mi were probably the only people present who knew what it was.

The shipwreck was naturally the Lienin, and those parasitic-like things covering the surface of the Lienin were actually granulations grown from dragon embryos inside the shipwreck.

The embryo was killed from the beginning as a sacrifice to the White King, and it was impossible for it to hatch into a dragon. The dragon blood flowing from the Lenin irrigated the ancient city, and the thick blood veins penetrated the seabed. The blood flowed from the Lenin to the entire city, and eventually became the nourishment for the White King's resurrection.

However, the dragon clan's powerful vitality prevented the embryo from completely dying, and the budding tissue growing from its body still retained a slight residual vitality.

The wreck was occupied by the remnants of embryos, and the granulation transformed the steel into a part of it. The lung snails used their mouthparts to bite into the body of this giant, constantly eating, mating and reproducing. This formed the picture in front of us, which seemed like the myth of Cthulhu.

After the death of the Dragon King, a dragon bone cross will be formed, but no one knows what will happen after the death of the incomplete dragon embryo. However, this embryo has been feeding the White King for more than a few decades under the abyss. Even if Xia Mi swallowed it, it would not be able to be promoted to a complete Dragon King.

This is probably the reason why the light in Xia Mi's eyes disappeared in an instant and turned into an expression of deep disappointment after she saw the scene in the photo clearly.

Jiude Mai also realized that the things covering the metal hull of the sunken ship in the photo were actually some kind of granulation, and she couldn't help but feel a bit disgusted from the bottom of her heart.

"We don't know what's inside the wreck. The submarine we were on didn't have enough firepower, so we didn't approach the wreck rashly."

Aki said, "But at least we can judge that it is related to dragons. Only dragons have such vigorous vitality. From this, we can see that the Japanese branch has indeed concealed a lot of things from the academy. I plan to send this information back to the academy as soon as possible. What do you think, Junior Brother Lu?"

Unconsciously, Aki had gotten into the habit of asking Lu Mingfei for his opinion before making a decision.

Lu Mingfei groaned: "Well, I also think it would be better to send these materials back to the college as soon as possible."

For Lu Mingfei, the sooner Kassel Academy intervenes in the management of the Japanese branch’s executive bureau, the better.

Today is the second day since Lu Mingfei brought Huili out. On the way here, Lu Mingfei pulled up Huili's sleeve to check her physical condition. The blue veins flowing in the blood vessels in her wrist were slightly darker than yesterday, but the overall condition was still good. It was estimated that she could hold on for another four or five days without any problem.

If the academy could interfere in Eri's affairs, that would be the best; if that wasn't possible, Lu Mingfei didn't want to hand Eri back to the Sheqi Eight Clan.

At that time, Lu Mingfei might really have no choice but to resort to the worst possible strategy - it worked very well on Chen Wenwen, so it should also work on Eri.

He had only known her for a few days, but he had already ruined a good girl... It was really too cruel. Even though Lu Mingfei was so lustful, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

"But is it reliable to just send the information back to the academy?" Lu Mingfei asked, "Won't it be discovered by the Japanese branch?"

Aki shook her head: "It's okay, I tested it before, using the computer to send an empty package file to Norma, and the file was not intercepted. I guess Kaguya's monitoring system has not been restored yet. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to ask you to meet at Safe Harbor."

The reason why Aki and Lu Mingfei did not choose to stay in the safe haven before was because they were worried that the Snake Eight Families would monitor the safe haven in Tokyo.

Now Kaguya's system has not been restored yet, and without Kaguya, the Snake Family fell into chaos. In addition, Eri was abducted by Lu Mingfei. It has fallen into a state of being unable to take care of both ends.

"Then I'll trouble you, Senior Sister."

"fine."

Aki shook her head, and the moment she raised her eyes, her gaze met that of Jude Mai, so she suddenly seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Lu Mingfei noticed something and blinked at Xia Mi, who blinked back at him.

"I've finished my drink and I want to go to the bar to order another drink. Senior brother, do you want to come?" Xia Mi suddenly said.

Lu Mingfei immediately responded: "Junior sister, do you want to order a drink too? What a coincidence, I was planning to go there too."

Xia Mi said, "Where's Ling? You've finished your drink, too. Do you want to come with us?"

Lu Mingfei said: "Have you finished reading Eri's comics? Then why don't we go pick out some new comics together?"

Aki and Mai blinked blankly, watching Lu Mingfei, Xia Mi, Eri and Ling push the door open and walk out... and then close the door with a "click".

In the room that was originally crowded, suddenly only the two sisters Shude Mai and Shude Aki were left.

"..."

At this point, even a fool could see that the young couple were working in unison to come up with something...Eryi was fine, but Sanwu was actually cooperative and followed that guy out.

Jiude Mai secretly clenched her fists under the table, thinking that she still hasn't settled the previous score with you, Sanwuniu... You knew that Lu Mingfei brought me here to meet Aki, so why didn't you tell me in advance?

But it seems that it is not the time to hold the three no's accountable.

Feeling the burning gaze on her face, Jiude Mai's breathing became unusually short.

That's why she hates this situation...

She has always been a peerless enchantress. What distinguishes her from other beauties is not her appearance or figure, but her aura. Her beauty is accompanied by a demon-like solemnity. Men will flock to her because of her solemnity that keeps others at a distance. However, this solemnity will also collapse.

Facing Aki's direct gaze, even if Jude Mai wanted to straighten her face and maintain her usual indifferent and distant expression, she couldn't help but show some slackness on her face.

Unexpectedly, she was the first one to collapse during this staring match. Jiude Mai pursed her lips and said lightly: "Long time no see."

"Well, long time no see." Shude Aki replied softly. Then he stopped abruptly.

If Lu Mingfei was present, he would probably feel embarrassed for Mai Jiude and regret meddling in her affairs. He did not have a deep understanding of what happened between the two sisters, and Aki Jiude had never told him.

Jiude Mai had never dealt with such a situation before, so she could only try to search her mind for the Korean dramas she had watched with her daughter, such as "The Sixth Sense" and "I'm Sorry, I Love You". What was the first thing that the rich daughters who were switched at a young age said when they reunited with their original families in those Korean dramas?

It seems that one usually shows concern for the younger generation's life over the years first... Then shouldn't I also care about how Aki has been doing over the years?
"Sister, you have long hair now."

Before Mai Shude could think of what topic to start with, her younger sister Aki Shude spoke first: "I remember that you used to like to keep your hair short. You said that long hair is too hot in the summer and is always pulled by boys. You even advised me to keep my hair short like you."

“That was when I was a few years old.”

Seeing the smile on Aki's face, Mai muttered, "You too, right? Didn't you like to have long hair before? Every time you came home, you cried to me saying that someone in kindergarten pulled your braids, but you didn't want to cut them off. Why do you have short hair now?"

Yaji subconsciously looked at the few strands of hair that fell on her cheeks, stretched out her fingers to pick up the curls, smiled and said softly: "Because this is your hairstyle, sister."

"..."

Mai choked immediately.

This kid... really doesn't know how to beat around the bush... He actually gave the reason so directly.

Isn't this a disguised way of saying that the reason why I have always kept my hair long is because Aki had a kendo ponytail when she was a child...

The law that direct words defeat tsundere seems to work every time. Not only do boys' direct words defeat girls' tsundere, but the younger sister's direct words also catch the fierce older sister off guard. If Su Enxi saw this scene, she would definitely take out her phone and take a picture of Jiude Mai's expression at this moment, and keep it as a black history for her whole life.

"But coming to the point, sister, do you also know Junior Brother Lu?" Aki asked.

Finally, the topic was brought back to an area that Mai could answer.

Although Jiude Mai felt extremely disgusted with this bad guy who dragged her into this embarrassing situation, when the topic fell on Lu Mingfei, Mai felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw. It was probably the first time in her life that she felt so happy when talking about Lu Mingfei.

"We have some friendship, I guess." Mai said calmly.

“Oh…” Aki nodded and smiled: “Junior Brother Lu is a very good person.”

"It's okay..." Mai said following Aki's answer, but what she was thinking in her heart was what was so good about that guy?

Apart from being decent looking, having a decent figure, being able to remain calm in emergencies, and occasionally being reliable, he is just an ordinary guy, right? Even chasing girls requires someone to push him from behind.

"If I have to say anything, it's that he's a little too mysterious." Aki suddenly changed the subject and said quietly, "And his private life is really not decent enough."

"It's more than indecent."

For some reason, Mai suddenly remembered the time when Lu Mingfei almost forcefully kissed her. She couldn't help but clench her fists, "He's simply a beast in human clothing. Remember to stay away from him. Nothing good will happen if you get close to him."

"That's right. How can a boy have so many girlfriends at the same time? Does Junior Brother Lu know that he is an S-level hybrid? Junior Sister Su Xiaoqiang is fine, but dating the other two ordinary girls is the same as hurting them, isn't it?"

"That's right, that's why I say he's a scumbag..."

I don't know why the scene of the sisters reuniting after a long time suddenly turned into a criticism meeting against Lu Mingfei. Outside the private room, Lu Mingfei sat at the bar and sneezed continuously. I thought he was allergic to pollen. It was the season when pollen was everywhere in Japan.

However, Jude Mai noticed that Aki never mentioned where she had been for all these years.

In fact, this was exactly what Jude Mai wanted, because if Aki really asked about this matter, she wouldn't know where to start explaining.

But if Aki deliberately avoided asking...

"...Don't you want to know where I have been all these years?" Finally, Mai couldn't help but ask Aki.

Aki looked at Mai, blinked her beautiful eyes, and suddenly tilted her head, with the corners of her eyes curving like the moon.

"There's no need to ask." Yaji smiled and shook her head: "I know you wouldn't leave home for no reason. You must have had your own reasons for suddenly disappearing. You're with Junior Brother Lu, which means you're doing something very important right now, right?"

"..."

Mai was silent for a while, then nodded slowly: "Well, it's very important..."

"That's fine." Aki said, "As long as I know that you are doing well now, that's enough. Why do you have to dwell on the past?"

It was a lie to say that she didn't want to know the reason why Mai suddenly disappeared, but just like what Aki said, she was able to meet her sister again in her lifetime, and it seemed that her sister was doing well now, that was enough. There was no need to pester someone to know the truth about some things. If the other person was willing to tell you, you didn't need to ask.

Mai lowered her eyes, her long bangs falling to cover her eyes.

After a few seconds, she slowly raised her hand in front of Aki's eyes...

Before Aki could react, he grabbed her face.

"Not bad." Mai beamed with joy: "The fact that you can say such things shows that you have really grown up, Aki."

The familiar feeling of being pinched on the face made Aki dream back to more than ten years ago... When she was young, her sister often liked to pinch her face like this.

"I, I'm not small at all!"

Aki didn't know whether she should push Mai's hand away or not...

I pushed her away, but this was the first time I had met her in more than a decade. Would it seem a bit heartless to push her away? But if I didn't push her away, it would be painful to be pinched by her.

After hesitating for a moment, Aki decided to leave it as it is...

"Have you forgotten that you and I are twins? I'm only a few minutes younger than you." Because her face was pinched, Aki spoke hesitantly.

"I am your sister too, Little Seconds."

After pinching her face, Mai sat back in her seat contentedly and crossed her legs. It seemed that her bad habit of pinching the potato chip girl's face was developed from Aki when she was a child.

However, this seemingly childish but long-lost little interaction gradually eliminated the gap between the two sisters.

It was as if they had really returned to a long time ago, to their childhood when the two of them were close and carefree.
