Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 721 The more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is.

However, despite Xia Mi's flaws, Lu Mingfei actually quite likes her... After all, his junior sister is unparalleled in the cuteness category! Beauty comes in its own way, doesn't it?

Stopping his wild thoughts, Lu Mingfei subtly withdrew his gaze from the other person.

This school board member is very beautiful, without a doubt, and could even be a contender for the top spot on Lu Mingfei's list of beauties.

However, Lu Mingfei is no longer the hapless boy who would stutter and be at a loss when he saw a beautiful woman.

Miss Laurent was beautiful, and so were his girlfriends.

On the contrary, in the TV series "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" that aired yesterday, Zhang Wuji's mother, Yin Susu, warned him never to trust beautiful women. The more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous and deceptive she is... although Zhang Wuji completely ignored her warning.

However, Lu Mingfei felt that he had taken some of the advice to heart... After all, at this moment, he was still somewhat cautious when facing Miss Laurent in front of him.

Because this is someone he had never met in his previous life.

At the same time, he still didn't know why this beautiful school board member had asked him to have afternoon tea.

Having never encountered it before means it's unknown, and the unknown may be accompanied by danger.

That being said, he didn't think Laurent would do anything to harm him.

It's not just because Angers and the vice-principal were aware of their meeting today.

Furthermore, Lu Mingfei felt that it would be such a pity if such a beautiful girl were a scheming schemer with a belly full of evil intentions... He was willing to believe that she was a good person!

Lu Mingfei seemed to have completely ignored Yin Susu's words.

“However, flavor is largely a psychological thing. If you feel that this coffee should taste acidic, then what you will taste on your tongue will be acidic. The fine distinctions are just packaging designed to sell products at higher prices. Whether it’s Geisha or Mandheling, for most people, it’s just a cup of soy milk with a sour and bitter taste,” Elizabeth said.

Lu Mingfei scratched his head: "I really don't drink coffee."

Elizabeth smiled: "I can tell. Because you haven't even taken a sip of that Geisha yet."

On the black walnut coffee table next to it, the surface of the coffee in the bone china cup was smudged with a faint oily sheen.

"Interested in playing a round of golf? The weather's great today," Elizabeth asked. Before Lu Mingfei could answer, she took a hair tie out of her pocket, put it in her mouth, and stretched her slender arm behind her head to tie a high ponytail.

"I don't play golf." Lu Mingfei didn't know if Elizabeth would take his words as a polite refusal, but he really didn't know how to play golf and had never even touched that thing before.

"To be honest, I'm not very good at it either. You might not be able to tell, but I actually prefer listening to music in my room to outdoor sports. But you know, as the head of the Laurent family, I inevitably have to attend some social occasions that I don't like."

Elizabeth shrugged, placing her hands respectfully on her lap, her beautiful, deep blue eyes fixed on Lu Mingfei: "It's just that today is a rare social occasion that I enjoy, so it would be a shame to just stay in the villa. If you don't play golf, then we can take a walk on the lawn."

Lu Mingfei's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "Miss Laurent, what do you mean by 'favorite social occasions'...? It's easy for others to misunderstand if you say it like that!"

Between two options, choose the lesser. Taking a walk on a golf course in a park-like setting with a pretty girl you've just met seems a little too suggestive.

After much deliberation, Lu Mingfei decided to accept Elizabeth's invitation to play golf. After all, many businessmen prefer to conduct business on golf courses; the social and public aspects of golf far outweigh those of simply strolling on the grass. Plus, with caddies around, the probability of any accidents is low.

Probably...not that big?

……

Ten minutes later, Lu Mingfei, now dressed in golf attire, and Elizabeth boarded the same golf cart. Elizabeth had prepared the golf clothes for him beforehand. In addition, there was a complete set of golf equipment, packed in an expensive-looking golf bag.

Driven by curiosity, Lu Mingfei impulsively searched for the logo on the golf bag on his phone: "Honma Five Star." The price of the set of clubs that popped up on the webpage made Lu Mingfei's eyebrows twitch.

I thought to myself, no wonder everyone says golf is a toy for the rich. Putting everything else aside, just the price of $32000 for this set of clubs is enough to make my heart skip a beat. That's enough to buy a car.

It seems that European syndicates are indeed powerful.

The car stopped beside the fairway. Lu Mingfei and Elizabeth got out, one on each side. Lu Mingfei originally wanted to carry his golf bag himself, but the pretty caddie had already taken it and obediently followed behind him. Lu Mingfei couldn't help but think to himself that golf really is an aristocratic sport; even the equipment needs someone else to carry it for them.

"Isn't anyone else here?" Lu Mingfei looked around. Since entering the golf course, he had only seen staff members.

Elizabeth smiled and replied, "I've instructed the club that the stadium is closed to the public today. We're only hosting one guest today."

Yes, just as he guessed. These school board members are incredibly extravagant when it comes to spending money.

Elizabeth continued, “There are many rules in golf. There are stroke play rules, match play rules, and further down the spectrum there are Stuberford, No Touch, and 8421 points tournaments, and so on. But since you’ve never played golf before, let’s just play a simple ‘short game challenge’ today.”

"Short game challenge?"

"It's a game of putting from a designated spot on the green. Each person has three chances. After three shots, the person closest to the hole wins. Of course, if you sink the ball directly, you score immediately."

Lu Mingfei nodded slightly upon hearing this. On the way here along the fairway, Elizabeth had already given him a brief introduction to some of the sections of the golf course.

The fairway is the core area of ​​a golf course; simply put, it's where you play golf. Over 90% of a golf course is the fairway. The fairway is organized by holes, each of which includes the tee box, fairway, green, and hazards such as bunkers and lakes.

The green is the lawn where the hole is located.

The two walked onto the green together, with caddies respectfully carrying their bags behind them. Their standard posture made Lu Mingfei suspect that they were professional caddies, but then he thought, which golf course could afford to hire such beautiful girls as caddies? Each of them was close to Lin Huihui's "half-school beauty" appearance.

Elizabeth stopped in front of the green flag, tiptoed around, and turned around, her golden ponytail swaying in the wind behind her: "How about setting the ball about 12 feet from the hole? That's about 3.66 meters. You're a beginner, and if the ball is set too far, I'll feel like I'm taking advantage of you."

Lu Mingfei replied, "Underestimating your opponent can lead to disaster." Elizabeth blinked and gave a half-smile, "Then I hope you can give me a little surprise."

He'd made those bold pronouncements, but Lu Mingfei knew his own limitations. His beginner-level skills were certainly no match for the socially adept Miss School Board Chairwoman. Of course, that didn't apply if Lu Mingze gave him special treatment.

Although Elizabeth was willing to let Lu Mingfei hit the ball first because he was a beginner, Lu Mingfei, being a gentleman, allowed a coin toss to decide who would hit first. Elizabeth, having guessed the winning combination, gained the first turn.

However, Elizabeth was probably being too modest. She claimed she wasn't very good at golf, yet she easily holed the ball on her first shot after gaining the right to strike. A hole-in-one from 12 feet—even Lu Mingfei, who knew nothing about golf, knew that achieving that was no easy feat.

"Looks like I've scored the first point." Elizabeth winked at Lu Mingfei: "You're the one to hit the ball first next time."

The ball was repositioned to 12 feet. Lu Mingfei took the club from the caddie behind him, walked to the ball, and, imitating Elizabeth's swing, twisted his waist and swung—

—It missed.

A light, cheerful laugh rang out from the side. Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a little embarrassed, not expecting that his first shot after his bold words would miss the target.

But the next moment, he felt a sweet fragrance suddenly waft over him, and a pair of delicate, soft hands reached out from behind and covered his hands. Elizabeth held his hands in an almost embracing manner, peeked her head slightly from his shoulder, and her warm breath tickled his neck.

"Your swing is wrong. Your arm swing doesn't need to be that big. Let me show you."

Lu Mingfei nodded upon hearing this, only then realizing that this school board member was actually quite tall...

No, no, this isn't the time to worry about height, is it? Even if you wanted to teach me golf, Ms. School Board Member, you don't need to be so attentive and hands-on, do you? If my girlfriend smells another girl's scent on me, I'll really be in deep trouble!

He didn't know if Western girls were just that open, or if this school board member was just naturally outgoing. He could only try to ignore the feeling of being hugged from behind and concentrate on playing the game.

However, it's unclear whether his posture actually became more standard after the correction, or whether it was because Elizabeth held his hand when he hit the ball, but he not only didn't miss the shot, but also accurately put the ball not far from the hole.

Although it wasn't as impressive as Elizabeth's hole-in-one, it was still a very good improvement for him.

Feeling Elizabeth release his hand, Lu Mingfei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. The school board chairwoman's hands hung down in front of her skirt, and she praised with a half-smile, "You've made such rapid progress, you truly deserve your 'S' grade, don't you? Your learning ability is also exceptional."

Lu Mingfei could tell that Elizabeth's tone was more like a social compliment.

Being praised by such a beautiful girl is certainly a pleasant thing. But Lu Mingfei became even more cautious...

From beginning to end, this school board member was a little too intimate with him, while he had never met her before and this was their first meeting.

He didn't consider himself the male protagonist of a harem anime, someone who would suddenly have a childhood friend, a beautiful foreign transfer student, fall into his lap while he was diligently studying at school. There was no inexplicable attraction between them. The more Elizabeth flattered him, the more wary he became of her.

Elizabeth, club in hand, approached her ball: "It's my turn to hit the second ball. If I sink it again, you'll lose again."

"Miss Laurent invited me to afternoon tea today... What is it about?" After thinking for a moment, Lu Mingfei decided to get straight to the point and get to the heart of the matter.

The radiant smile froze on Elizabeth's face for a moment; clearly, she hadn't expected Lu Mingfei to get straight to the point.

Lu Mingfei was still waiting for Elizabeth's answer when he saw the school board member suddenly puff out her cheeks cutely, her deep blue eyes staring at Lu Mingfei with a hint of resentment: "Mr. Lu, do you know that suddenly bringing up business when you're on a date with a pretty girl is a very unromantic thing to do?"

But the next moment, she smiled slyly, put her hands on her hips and said, "I'll tell you if you can beat me just once."

As soon as he finished speaking, the club swung gracefully through the air, and the ball rolled into the hole with a soft "thud".

"..."

Okay, okay, let’s play like this, right?

Lu Mingfei's competitive spirit suddenly surged up for no reason. If he didn't win a stroke against you today, he wouldn't leave!
……

It would be strange if they didn't leave.

They played until noon, but Lu Mingfei still hadn't won a single point against Elizabeth.

The main reason is that Elizabeth's golf skills are just too proficient. She keeps saying she can't play, but she always gets a hole-in-one. It's like letting Lu Mingfei play a Soulslike game; before he's even used to the controller, character skills, and game mechanics, he's immediately challenged to the final boss while completely naked.

While some hardcore players of Soulslike games have indeed defeated the final boss with basic gear, those achievements are the result of accumulated time and numerous attempts. Alternatively, they might use the Wind Spirit/Moon Shadow skill. Clearly, Lu Mingfei, who was only playing golf today, didn't have that kind of time to accumulate experience, and his Wind Spirit/Moon Shadow skill was nowhere to be seen.

To be honest, Lu Mingfei is already quite talented. He went from completely missing shots at the beginning to now consistently placing the ball near the hole from twelve feet. It's likely that if he were given a second chance, he would definitely be able to putt the ball in the hole. But Elizabeth hasn't given him even one such opportunity.

Another shot, hole-in-one. Elizabeth shielded her eyes with her hand and looked up at the sky.

“It’s already noon, shouldn’t we go back to the villa?” Elizabeth asked.

"Don't rush, I haven't won a single point against you yet," Lu Mingfei said.

Elizabeth, who was wiping her sweat with a towel, couldn't help but smile wryly upon hearing this: "If you want to beat me by one point, I'm afraid you won't be able to go home today."

"No, I still don't know why you asked me to come here today."

"Just because of that?"

Elizabeth blinked, seemingly defeated by Lu Mingfei's stubbornness: "My stamina isn't as good as yours... Let's go back first. If you want to know, I'll tell you during lunch later."
