Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 672 The Way to Teach Zhao Menghua a Lesson
Lu Mingfei didn't know how to answer Erii's question. Because he simply couldn't answer it.

Although everyone has tacitly accepted the romantic relationship between Lu Mingfei and Erii, it is likely that Lu Mingfei and the underworld princess are also mutually attracted and share the same intention.

But how should I put it... when taking care of Erii's daily life, Erii's innocent, naive, obedient, and curious appearance would often make Lu Mingfei play those games about raising younger sisters on 4399.

Isn't this just like raising a younger sister?! Taking care of Erii's daily life and teaching her basic life skills step by step... even though Erii's biological age is a year older than Lu Mingfei.

This is also one of the reasons why Lu Mingfei has never been able to truly take that step towards Erii...

Erii only knows that people who like each other "meow like cats," but she doesn't know the true meaning of "meowing like cats." Making a move on Erii always gives him a forbidden, wicked feeling.

It seems that if he takes even half a step further, what awaits him is an orthopedic diagnosis.

However, Erii showed no restraint towards Lu Mingfei. Being close to him every day was a small matter. She would even walk out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel after taking a shower and stroll in front of Lu Mingfei, her curves half-exposed under the towel, as beautiful as tender branches sprouting in spring.

No matter what, he was a hot-blooded teenager... Even with the best self-control, it's hard not to feel restless.

Lu Mingfei withdrew his gaze from Erii out of the corner of his eye, sighed quietly, and looked at his phone screen.

The group chat opened, and it was a message from Xiaotiannv. Lu Mingfei glanced at the content and immediately showed a somewhat surprised expression.

Xia Mi, standing nearby, also exclaimed in surprise, "Senior brother, did you see the message Senior Sister Qiangqiang sent? She said the person who took those photos was Zhao Menghua from your class?"

Lu Mingfei said, "I saw it."

To be honest, for Lu Mingfei, the name Zhao Menghua was still somewhat unfamiliar.

Although I see both of them in class every day, since we're classmates, we hardly ever talk to each other anymore.

Because they weren't in the same social circle, the people Zhao Menghua hung out with were different from the people Lu Mingfei hung out with. Even though they were in the same class, it was like they lived on two different levels. The Xu brothers even sarcastically remarked that Lu Mingfei was probably the reincarnation of Na Bao, living surrounded by women every day.

Lu Mingfei, of course, didn't care about those words. So what if he was Baochai? Being Baochai meant he could be intimate with the sweet and gentle Xiren, Qingwen, Daiyu, and Baochai; being Lu Mingfei meant he could be intimate with Su Xiaoqiang, Liu Miaomiao, Chen Wenwen, Xia Mi, and Erii. Others might want to, but they don't even have that opportunity.

However, Lu Mingfei always believed that he and Zhao Menghua would remain completely separate and not interfere with each other until the end of his time at Shilan High School. At that time, Zhao Menghua could continue being the young master Zhao at Shilan High School. Lu Mingfei, on the other hand, would be off to be a dragon-slaying hero all over the world.

Unexpectedly, in the last month of the first year of high school, I would be associated with the name Zhao Menghua again.

Judging from the QQ messages posted by Xiaotiannv, Zhao Menghua seems to have deliberately posted the photos on the school forum.

The motive is not hard to guess. Zhao Menghua probably thought he had caught his wife cheating and wanted to take pictures and post them on the school forum to embarrass her.

He probably never imagined that he wasn't cheating at all, but was actually in a legitimate relationship. Wenwen and Xiaotian even went out of their way to help him cover for himself.

"That Zhao Menghua is so boring. What does it have to do with him if other people go to the movies with their girlfriends? He even secretly took pictures and posted them online. Even if you're not angry, I am," Xia Mi said angrily, pouting.

As for Lu Mingfei, he was less angry and more speechless. He had never thought of competing with Zhao Menghua, but Zhao Menghua, for some reason, seemed to always regard him as an imaginary enemy.

Xia Mi grew angrier the more she thought about it, her two little tiger teeth popping out as she gritted her teeth and said, "No, no, I'm so angry! I have to teach this guy a lesson."

Lu Mingfei immediately said, "Wait!"

Xia Mi turned her head: "What? Senior brother, you're not going to stop me again, are you? Even a good-natured person has to have limits, right? He's already gone too far."

Lu Mingfei said, "No, I just wanted to remind you, junior sister, to be a little more careful when you do it."

Even with his good personality, Lu Mingfei must have felt that Zhao Menghua's behavior was a bit too offensive. Xia Mi said that Zhao Menghua should be taught a lesson, and he felt that was the right thing to do.

But lessons learned are lessons learned. He knew that his seemingly soft and cute junior sister was essentially a dragon king, the mastermind behind countless major historical events, while Zhao Menghua was just an ordinary person. Although Zhao Menghua had been secretly sabotaging him, to put it bluntly, her crimes didn't warrant death.

In case Xia Mi's lesson goes too far and she accidentally teaches it a lesson that's too harsh... That's why he reminded Xia Mi to be a little more careful and not to go too far.

"Oh, this one."

Xia Mi said with a smile, "Don't worry, senior brother. I'm always very careful about what I do. I won't go too far."

For some reason, the brighter Xia Mi's smile was, the more uneasy Lu Mingfei felt.

"How do you plan to teach Zhao Menghua a lesson?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Well, I haven't figured out the specifics yet."

Xia Mi blinked and said, "But he loves to spread rumors about others behind their backs. Well then, I'll give him a taste of his own medicine."

……

"Huh, why was the group announcement changed? Who posted the pinned group notification?"

"Wait...it seems to be Her Highness herself. Her Highness sent a new group notification!"

"Can anyone help me take a picture of Zhao Menghua from Class 2, Grade 1 at Shilan Middle School? Something juicy and sensational... the more sensational the better... can I get a handmade chocolate from Her Highness with the photo? And there's no limit to the number of people who can get the reward?!"

In an instant, a flood of replies overwhelmed the QQ group, drawing out fans who had been silently lurking in the group. Everyone in the group saw the notification, and even those who didn't were bombarded with private messages from other members.

Who is Zhao Menghua? They didn't quite know. But the fact that Her Highness wanted them to help take gossip photos of this guy meant that he had most likely angered Her Highness in some way, and angering Her Highness was tantamount to angering them.

Therefore, let alone gossip photos, they will climb through windows to take even more private photos!

Not to mention the reward for this bounty is so generous!

Handmade chocolates from Her Highness the Princess? Just hearing about this reward is enough to make one's heart flutter. Receiving these chocolates could probably make one happy for a whole year.

Xia Mi looked at the messages flooding the QQ group, most of which were asking who Zhao Menghua was, and then left the QQ group with satisfaction.

This is her personal fan group. Piano prodigy Liu Miaomiao has a fan group in private, and so does the angelic Su Xiaoqiang. As the only school beauty in the junior high school who hasn't had a fan group since, Xia Mi naturally has her own fan base as well.

However, unlike Liu Miaomiao's and Su Xiaoqiang's fan groups, the fans of Liu Miaomiao, Su Xiaoqiang, and Chen Wenwen all formed their fan groups spontaneously. To put it bluntly, the fan groups of Liu Miaomiao, Su Xiaoqiang, and Chen Wenwen are full of their sasaeng fans (obsessive fans who stalk or harass them).

Xia Mi's fan group is different; it's officially verified, and she herself is the group's administrator. "Your Highness" is the respectful title her fans use for her.

Although it sounds a bit exaggerated that pretty female students in school would have their own fan groups, after all, this is practically the treatment of female idols or female celebrities.

However, considering Xia Mi's original identity, this doesn't seem surprising. She was Cleopatra VII, the famous Egyptian queen. She was a master of power politics and manipulating people's hearts.

Even the renowned Julius Caesar of the Roman Republic was merely a kneeling subject at her feet; a single glance was enough to sway the of the exceptionally talented Caesar to help her restore her kingdom and defeat Ptolemy XIII—her brother Fenrir—who had driven her out of Egypt.

Julius Caesar's trusted general Mark Antony was also captivated by her beauty, and was even able to disregard the interests of the Roman state by directly gifting her large swathes of the Republic.

She even manipulated the entire Roman Empire, and the empire's consuls and generals all fell at her feet.

Currently, she only has a small fan base at Shilan Secondary School, which is nothing compared to her past behavior.

However, Lu Mingfei was naturally unaware that she actually had a loyal fan club at Shilan High School. She had never revealed this to Lu Mingfei. Because if her senior knew about it, he would definitely demand that she disband the club. Don't be fooled by his seemingly carefree demeanor; he's actually the most easily jealous.

Although she wasn't particularly fond of being surrounded by people, no amount of "Your Highness" could compare to her senior brother's simple "Junior Sister, my wife." The only reason she kept the group was because she found it fun.

However, it seems that the fan group I joined back then just for fun is still proving useful now.

Her plan to avenge her senior brother was simple: Didn't Zhao Menghua like to secretly take photos of others and spread rumors?

She retaliated in kind, having her fans in the group take similar photos for her, and also giving Zhao Menghua a good beating!
There are hundreds of people in the group, surely someone will be able to take a few amazing photos, right?

Seeing the mischievous smile on Xia Mi's lips, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but shudder.

……

The lunch break bell rang, and Lu Mingfei, Erii, and Xia Mi parted ways at the entrance of the Literature Club. This was because Lu Mingfei's school building and Xia Mi's school building were in opposite directions.

Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen were not in the literary society's activity room. They went to the school's academic affairs office at noon. It seemed that Norma had sent an electronic offer to the school via email before sending the paper offer to the school.

"Senior brother, Erii, I'll be going now. See you after school this afternoon." Xia Mi waved with a smile.

"Okay, see you this afternoon." Lu Mingfei waved.

Watching Xia Mi skip and hop away, Lu Mingfei thought back to the sly smile Xia Mi had given him while looking at his phone in the clubroom earlier. Suddenly, he wondered if agreeing to let Xia Mi teach Zhao Menghua a lesson was a good thing.

I wonder what kind of plan my junior sister is secretly plotting; it sounds terrifying.

Although Xia Mi looks obedient and cute like a little princess, probably only Lu Mingfei knows that beneath Xia Mi's princess-like appearance lies a cunning and ruthless nature.

Commonly known as "pink-cut black".

Although Xia Mi promised him she wouldn't use physical means to punish Zhao Menghua, even without physical methods, given Xia Mi's quirky and resourceful nature, Zhao Menghua would likely be thoroughly thrashed even with just a little manipulation.

However, since he has already agreed, it's likely that Xia Mi won't stop now.

Furthermore, being followed by Xia Mi is simply Zhao Menghua's own fault, and he should accept his bad luck.

"Shall we go back to the classroom first?" Lu Mingfei said to Erii beside him.

Erii nodded, then looked down and wrote in her notebook before holding it up: "But Sakura hasn't answered my question yet."

problem?

Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, then immediately remembered what Erii had meant by "problem".

The question was why he played the "cat meow game" with other girls but not with her.

Lu Mingfei had thought the topic was over, but he didn't expect Erii to still remember it.

Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, originally intending to change the subject as before.

Erii's earnest and solemn expression, however, made him pause, her beautiful eyes fixed on him. It was like a girl who had mustered the courage to confess her feelings to someone she liked, hoping to receive the same earnest answer from them. Even if that answer wasn't a good one.

"..."

Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, hesitated for a second, and then decided to answer Erii's question directly.

"Because Erii doesn't know what that kind of thing is yet," Lu Mingfei replied solemnly.

Erii then wrote on the board: "I know! It's 'sex.' It's something that boys and girls who like each other do."

Lu Mingfei was taken aback, not expecting that Erii had even learned the word "sex".

But considering Erii has been playing visual novels lately, she probably learned the word from them. Eroge (adult games) are truly harmful!
Lu Mingfei coughed lightly: "It is sex, that's right. But does Erii even know what sex means? Why do boys and girls who like each other have to do this kind of thing?"

Erii blinked, a puzzled look appearing on her beautiful face. After a pause, she wrote, "I don't know."

Lu Mingfei said, "That's exactly why. Because Erii doesn't know the meaning of sex yet, I can't deceive Erii like this and do this kind of thing to her."

Seeing Erii's thoughtful expression, Lu Mingfei felt that Erii was trying to understand his words.

In truth, how could Lu Mingfei not be attracted to Erii? It's just that he felt it was somewhat opportunistic to take advantage of Erii when she was completely oblivious to everything.

It is precisely because I love Erii that I cannot deceive and hurt her.

However, he immediately saw Erii lower her head and write a reply in her notebook: "I understand."

Lu Mingfei nodded with a smile, secretly sighing to himself that he had finally gotten through this ordeal.

But the next moment, he saw Erii continuing to write in her notebook: "My knowledge is not enough. I will definitely study hard and strive to understand the meaning of 'sex' as soon as possible."

Upon seeing the words on the notebook, Lu Mingfei suddenly froze.

Wait, wait, wait! Learning the meaning of 'sex'? No, Erii, where are you planning to learn this kind of thing from?!
