Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 655 He really is a scumbag!
In the executive restaurant of the Regent Hotel, Erii sat by the window, her hands clasped in front of her, next to Lu Mingfei. Her usually icy and aloof face was unusually expressionless, her cheeks puffed out adorably. This made her look like an angry goldfish.

"Why does Erii look so sulky?" Chen Wenwen asked Liu Miaomiao, who was sitting next to her, in a low voice.

Liu Miaomiao put her hand to her lips and answered in a low voice, "They said Mingfei confiscated her game console and wouldn't let Erii play games."

"No games allowed?" Chen Wenwen frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled. Mingfei wasn't such a rigid guy... Didn't he often play video games with Erii and Mimi himself? Why was Erii's game console suddenly confiscated?

really weird.

A waitress in a formal dress came over and folded napkins for everyone. Lu Mingfei handed Erii a menu with a gilded cover, speaking cautiously, "Eri, what would you like to eat?"

Erii didn't reach out to take it. Instead, she flipped out the words she had written earlier and pointed them forcefully at the paper in the notebook for Lu Mingfei to see: "Sakura is the worst."

It seems that confiscating the game console really angered Erii, as even she, who is usually the most attached to Lu Mingfei, said she "hates Sakura".

Lu Mingfei was actually a little helpless. If he could, he certainly wouldn't want to make Erii angry... but he couldn't just sit idly by and watch Erii play with eroge.

Erii is only 17 years old this year, and she's still a minor!
No, Erii is Japanese. What's the legal age of majority in Japan?

Lu Mingfei tried hard to recall the knowledge he had learned from Japanese anime. If he remembered correctly, Japanese law seemed to stipulate that girls could get married at the age of 16?
So, it seems like there's nothing wrong with Erii playing around with eroge... Is she really overcorrecting?

Xia Mi buried her head in the menu, pretending to be seriously ordering, but in reality, she was praying that her senior brother wouldn't look in her direction. She hadn't expected Lu Mingfei to find out about Erii playing visual novels so quickly.

She wondered if it was because she had been strengthening the bloodlines of other girls every day, and her skills had become increasingly proficient, but even with her dignified Dragon King body, she was beginning to feel the strain from her senior brother's support. She was starting to doubt whether the bloodline strengthening was actually for Liu Miaomiao and the others, or for Lu Mingfei.

And so what if her senior brother is looking at her? She has a reason to say something! It was Erii who took the initiative to ask me if I knew how to learn "cat meowing," which is why I recommended those visual novels to her... In a way, it was all for her senior brother's good!

But at that moment, she suddenly heard a surprised voice calling out her senior brother's name from the side.

"Isn't this Mingfei?"

Xia Mi was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. She peeked out from behind the thick menu book and saw a burly old man with gray hair striding toward them. He was flanked by a handsome man on the left and a beautiful woman on the right. His eyes were shining, and he grabbed his senior brother's hand without saying a word.

"Long time no see, Mingfei!" Professor Guderian's joy was palpable.

"Professor Guderian?"

Lu Mingfei felt a little embarrassed by this overflowing enthusiasm. "It's been a long time... What are you doing here?"

His gaze passed over Professor Guderian's shoulder and landed on Ye Sheng and Selma, who were following behind him. He nodded politely to them. Ye Sheng smiled and nodded back, while Selma returned the gesture with a silent, expressionless nod.

"Me? We're staying at this hotel. It's close to your school."

Professor Guderian scratched his head happily and replied, "I've been wanting to catch up with you, Mingfei, ever since I got here, but I've been too busy with work. I asked Aki to contact you, but she said you have your final exams coming up soon and it's best not to disturb your studies. I was thinking of contacting you after the admissions process was over to ask if you had time to have a meal together. I never expected to run into you here today."

Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, wondering if Senior Sister Aki had also come. But she hadn't contacted him.

After the reminiscing ended, they should have gone their separate ways and returned to their respective tables... But Lu Mingfei noticed that Professor Guderian's gaze remained fixed on him, his eyes filled with anticipation, like Hong Qigong looking at the chicken's rear end.

"..."

He hesitated for a moment, then tried to ask, "Want to eat together?"

"Would you like to eat together? But I'm bothering you!"

Professor Guderian said this, but he had already started waving to the waiter next to him to add three more seats to their table.

Looking at his rather impolite future mentor, Lu Mingfei thought to himself, "You really don't treat me like an outsider."

Fortunately, Lu Mingfei and his group were originally seated at an eight-person table, so even with Professor Guderian and his group, there was still room. Lu Mingfei and Professor Guderian sat on the same side, while the girls moved to the other side, taking turns greeting Professor Guderian and his group.

The waitress handed over the menu, and Ye Sheng thanked her as he took it, nodding apologetically to Su Xiaoqiang and the others across from him, saying, "I'm sorry to bother you."

Although Ye Sheng had never met Chen Wenwen, Liu Miaomiao, and Xia Mi before, as he wasn't present during the trip to Tokyo, he had seen these girls during the interviews as one of the interviewers for this special mission. He had seen Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen sitting with Su Xiaoqiang and Lu Mingfei during the interviews.

In addition, the information Norma sent also mentioned some basic information about them, including their school and class, so Ye Sheng was not surprised to see Lu Mingfei having dinner with several girls at the hotel.

"I just didn't expect them to have such a good relationship," Ye Sheng thought to himself.

After all, Junior Brother Lu and Junior Sister Su are a couple. Generally speaking, couples seem to value their private space more. They would bring their best friends and boyfriends to dinner together, and the best friends don't mind being a third wheel. This is enough to show that their relationship is very good.

What surprised him the most was that these girls seemed to have a good relationship with Erii.

He had seen Erii's photo and identity information in his mission report from the trip to Tokyo. Although Aki's mission report concealed the fact that Erii was a demon, the negotiations between the academy and the Snake-Headed Eight Families, and the fact that Erii's bloodline was extremely unstable, it still truthfully recorded Erii's S-rank bloodline and her identity as the head of the Uesugi family.

Therefore, Ye Sheng also knew that this harmless and beautiful girl was a mixed-race person whose bloodline was no less than Lu Mingfei's. Because she was going to study in the preparatory class in the capital next semester, she transferred to a school in China to study Chinese. As for Lu Mingfei, who shared the same bloodline as Erii, he was chosen to look after and take care of this little princess of the Japanese underworld.

Ye Sheng was completely unaware that Lu Mingfei had already started a harem.

"No need to be so polite, Senior Brother Ye." Su Xiaoqiang waved his hand generously in front of him, "We might even become alumni in the future." Ye Sheng smiled and said, "Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, we should all be alumni in the future."

The girls were all stunned for a moment upon hearing this, especially Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen, who both understood the subtext in Ye Sheng's words.

Su Xiaoqiang's eyes lit up, and hesitantly spoke up, asking the question they were all thinking: "Senior Brother Ye, what do you mean...?"

Ye Sheng turned his head and asked Professor Guderian, "It should be okay to tell Junior Sister Su and the others now, right?"

After receiving Guderian's affirmative answer, Ye Shengcai smiled and nodded: "Junior Sister Su, as well as Junior Sister Liu Miaomiao, Junior Sister Chen Wenwen, and Junior Sister Xia Mi, you have all been included in the academy's preliminary admission list. Congratulations."

"Really!"

Liu Miaomiao, Chen Wenwen, and Su Xiaoqiang exchanged glances, their expressions clearly showing happiness and excitement.

Although the subtext of Ye Sheng's words was already quite clear, they finally felt relieved after hearing Ye Sheng confirm it himself.

"But do the colleges release the interview results so quickly?" Su Xiaoqiang asked, her excitement tinged with her own doubts.

Having grown up in Portugal, she had witnessed firsthand how slow things could be for foreigners. When she attended primary school in Portugal, the enrollment process alone took a month. She had originally thought that the Kassel College wouldn't release the interview results for at least a month or two after the interviews.

Lu Mingfei thought to himself that the results were obviously coming out quickly... after all, this was a special quota set up for Miaomiao and the others. The interview results came first, then the interview itself!
Ye Sheng naturally knew that this interview was specifically for Liu Miaomiao and the others. He had heard that this special recruitment was also related to the school board, and that the cooperation with Shilan Middle School's targeted recruitment was just a cover.

He also had some doubts about the purpose of this special recruitment.

He could understand why the academy would specially recruit Xia Mi, after all, Xia Mi's bloodline seemed to be A-grade.

In Aki's mission report about her trip to Japan, it was also mentioned that Natsumi seemed to have used a high-risk incantation during the confrontation with the Snake-Headed Eight Families. Students with such outstanding bloodlines have always been highly favored by the academy.

However, based on the information, he couldn't see anything special about either Liu Miaomiao or Chen Wenwen. There were no obvious advantages in their bloodline, nor was there any indication of family lineage.

On the contrary, a boy named Chu Zihang, whom Professor Schneider had mentioned, was quite noteworthy. Now a sophomore in high school, he had already awakened his bloodline ahead of time. During the interview, when he took off his colored contact lenses, the golden eyes he revealed startled Ye Sheng. He actually felt an invisible pressure emanating from those pure golden eyes.

However, Chu Zihang's name was not on the college's admission list this time, and Chu Zihang himself said that he was just here to experience the Kassel College interview in advance and did not want to enroll so early.

Otherwise, Ye Sheng would probably have tried to report the situation to Norma and see if they could open up another special recruitment spot for Chu Zihang.

However, these are all decisions made by the school board. In some ways, the school board's authority even surpasses that of the principal; the principal is merely an executor of a task and has neither the right nor the intention to question the school board's decisions.

Guderian added, "However, it will probably take some time before we can reply with the official interview notification. Please keep the results confidential until they are officially released."

"Of course," Liu Miaomiao said, her eyes brimming with undisguised joy.

The food was served quickly. Everyone chatted while eating, but Erii was still sulking with Lu Mingfei, focusing intently on cutting the steak in front of her, looking as if she didn't want to see Lu Mingfei's face across from her.

Guderian and Selma were the parties involved in the trip to Tokyo. Although they were mostly under house arrest by the Snake Clan, they still had some understanding of the specifics of the whole affair.

Professor Guderian knew that Erii's bloodline was not very stable, and that any fluctuation in her emotions could affect it, so he cautiously asked, "Eri... are you unhappy?"

He hesitated for a long time between using the words "classmate" and "Miss". Logically speaking, as the head of the Uesugi family, it wouldn't be inappropriate for him to address Erii as "Miss". The status of the head of the Snake-Headed Eight Families should be roughly equal to that of tenured professors like Mans or Schneider at the academy. However, he was only an associate professor at Kassel College and hadn't yet been promoted.

However, he also felt that the word "Miss" sounded too formal, as it seemed that Mingfei and this Miss Uesugi got along very well. In addition, Erii was going to study at Kassel College anyway, so it wasn't too much to call her "classmate."

"Oh."

Su Xiaoqiang picked up a piece of small mackerel from the appetizer and put it in her mouth, answering naturally, "Mingfei made Erii angry. He confiscated Erii's game console."

Erii suddenly nodded upon hearing this, took out a small notebook and wrote something on it. Then she turned the notebook around to show everyone, looking indignant: "Sakura, aren't you being unreasonable?"

Goodluck paused for a moment, then thought to himself, "Did Mingfei anger Uesugi Erii? That won't do. And it's because of something as trivial as playing video games? Doesn't Mingfei know that Erii's bloodline is unstable and easily fluctuates?"
Selma nodded, and said indignantly, "Yes, that's really going too far!" This seemed to be the first time she had spoken all evening, apart from the polite greetings she exchanged with Liu Miaomiao and the others when she first sat down.

When Lu Mingfei saw that the topic had returned to Erii's anger, he was afraid that if the discussion continued, Erii would bring up the fact that she played visual novels. He hurriedly tried to change the subject, but couldn't think of a suitable topic for the time being.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "By the way, Professor, you just said that Senior Aki said it's best not to disturb our final exam review. Is Senior Aki here too?"

"Here he comes."

Professor Guderian nodded, his attention successfully diverted: "The interviewers were originally supposed to be her and Ye Sheng, with Selma as the recorder. But Aki wasn't feeling well today, so Selma temporarily filled in for her for the day."

When Selma heard Lu Mingfei mention Aki, her eyebrows suddenly drooped.

With so many girlfriends around, how could he still be thinking about Aki?

Junior Brother Lu is indeed a scumbag!
