Dragon Clan: Force me to be reborn and slay dragons

Chapter 232 Only when you are by my side can I feel at ease.

A simple kiss kept Lao Lu pinned down for most of the day; anyone could tell he wasn't in the right state.

Chu Zihang didn't sleep all night, spending half the night looking at his "no abnormalities detected" report. All he could think about was whether to follow the Kassel College step by step or to follow Lu Mingfei's lead and overtake him.

After thinking about it all night, he realized only one thing—Lu Mingfei would never harm him.

Moreover, Lu Mingfei clearly knew more than he did, and was much stronger, to the point that he was far beyond his reach.

So after making his decision, he prepared to discuss the follow-up matters with Lu Mingfei, but he couldn't find him after searching around.

Finally, after breakfast, he appeared with a dazed look on his face, like Tang Sanzang who had just come out of the Queen's palace in the Women's Kingdom. He was absent-minded, and his smile was harder to suppress than an AK.

If Chu Zihang hadn't known that the sound of the clapper had reduced its effect on him to negligible levels, he would have thought it was a side effect of the series of battles he had fought the previous night.

"Mingming, did you find some money or did you beat some noobs? Why are you smiling so happily?"

Almost everyone brought back by Lu Mingfei gathered in the dean's office, and the atmosphere was fairly harmonious.

Chu Zihang was a man of few words and expressionless face. He could sit there and enter a state of meditation. Fortunately, Old Tang was sitting next to him and kept chatting with him about everyday things.

After a night's rest, Genji had finally recovered some of her energy and was whispering something to Yabuki Sakura, who would become her sister-in-law in the future, while Sakurai Kogure served her tea.

The two groups were clearly separated, one speaking Chinese and the other Japanese, both using encrypted communication.

Lu Mingfei's appearance caused the clear-cut Chu-Han divide to quietly disappear, and everyone's attention fell on him.

Old Tang immediately noticed the beaming smile on his good brother's face, his eyes filled with inquiry, suspecting that the kid had secretly done something bad behind his back last night.

Chu Zihang knew that Lu Mingfei had gone to see Erii last night, but putting himself in Lu Mingfei's shoes, he didn't think Lu Mingfei would do anything inappropriate for children.

The expressions of Minamoto no Chizuru and Yabuki Sakura were rather subtle.

Although the kinship test results are not yet available, Yuan Zhinv has already gleaned some clues from Lu Mingfei's confident words, and it is almost certain that Erii is his biological sister.

This kid was clearly eyeing his sister, but he had absolutely no right to get involved, so his feelings were somewhat complicated.

As for Sakura, she received a verbal instruction (audio version) from Genji last night, and instead of trying to escape, she stayed to take care of Erii and slept in the room next to her.

Because his young master had encountered too many things and he was unable to stay by his side to help him cope, he was so troubled that he couldn't sleep.

She heard someone enter the young master's sister's room in the middle of the night and not come out all night. If she hadn't heard anything suspicious, she would have broken down the wall to protect the young lady's innocence.

"Mind your own business when it comes to adolescence." Lu Mingfei waved his hand dismissively, giving Old Tang a very perfunctory answer.

"Where's Erii? Isn't she up yet?" Genji peeked out, but didn't see her younger sister.

"Taking a bath."

As soon as Lu Mingfei spoke, everyone present... except for Chu Zihang, had very interesting expressions, and their gazes toward Lu Mingfei were somewhat... well, you know.

Seeing this, Lu Mingfei knew that these people had definitely misunderstood. He sighed inwardly, "Typical Japanese style," and explained:

"Keep your mind pure. She simply likes taking baths and wants to take baths. It has absolutely nothing to do with me, OK?"

As he spoke, he looked at Sakura, hoping she could testify on his behalf.

As Genjiro's special assistant, or rather, his personal assistant, Erii must have known about this little habit of hers.

Sakura glanced at him and, finding no trace of anything, nodded with slight relief.

"Hey, you scared me! I thought you'd secretly opened the door to a new world." Old Tang breathed a sigh of relief and put his arm around his shoulder.
"What's the plan next? To eat, drink, and have fun, or to continue looking for Herzog?"

"Yes, brothers, yes." Lu Mingfei looked at Lao Tang, who was arm in arm with his arm, with an evil smile that made the latter's scalp tingle, but he kept it to himself and refused to say anything.

"By the way, where did Ye Sheng and his girlfriend go?" Lu Mingfei looked up and around, but couldn't find the hostages he had rescued last night.

"Miss Ma Yi took them away," Old Tang explained to him.

Early this morning, Mai Jiude and Enxi Su left, taking Mai Jiude's sister and brother-in-law with them, without saying what they were going to do.

Lu Mingfei knew that Potato Chips and the others were going to speed up the exploration of the Well of Hidden Bones. He brought Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya along because they were semi-experts in underwater operations.

The former's words of power, in particular, can be of great use.

While waiting, Yuan Zhinu asked about the situation in Osaka last night, so Lu Mingfei simply turned on the TV for her, and the situation was immediately clear to her.

Upon learning that an entire workshop of Kings was hidden in the underground base, Genji's expression turned somewhat green. She deeply sighed, thankful that her brother-in-law was there, otherwise he would definitely have been tormented to death by that old beast Herzog. The morning news broadcast ended, and Erii had also finished taking a bath.

Because the bounty was withdrawn, she changed back into her most frequently worn shrine maiden outfit and walked gracefully toward Lu Mingfei under everyone's gaze. As if asserting her ownership, she tightly grasped his hand, her movements natural and smooth.

Although the little witch's expression remained calm, neither sad nor happy, the person she was pulling had a smile that almost resembled a Nike logo.

Now everyone knows that something unseen must have happened while these two were absent from breakfast.

Unfortunately, Lu Mingfei didn't want to explain.

"Let's go, it's a new store opening, we can't be late."

Calculating that it was about time, Lu Mingfei called to everyone that it was time to set off.

The Mental Health Research Center is not suitable for living. According to their plan, they will stay at the Takamagahara Nightclub later. Coincidentally, today is also the auspicious day for Erii's long-awaited Yorozuya to open for business.

With everyone in place, and since Zero didn't like noisy, crowded environments, he didn't follow along and instead stayed at the research center to oversee the serum analysis project.

The group drove to the most bustling street in Shinjuku Ward. Takamagahara, which only opens at night, was already decorated with banners and ribbons. The male hosts, dressed in suits, stood at the entrance of the store in their best spirits to welcome the new shareholders.

Well, although the Takamagahara nightclub has changed owners, the news hasn't spread. Lu Mingfei only told Humpback Whale to tell his men that they've welcomed a wealthy major shareholder, so they don't have to worry about not having a place to perform anymore.

Two luxury cars slowly drove up. A humpback whale dressed in blue, leading a group of flamboyant male escorts, immediately straightened his back and gave a wink to the other male escorts behind him. At the moment the car door opened, he pulled out a gorgeous cylinder hidden behind him and presented a salute to the generous shareholder for his arrival and guidance.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang—

The sound of cannons blared incessantly, and colorful ribbons fluttered in the sky. A black-haired young man in a well-tailored suit stepped out of the car, raised his hand to help the beautiful, doll-like witch inside, and slowly walked onto the red carpet.

Having previously been the target of countless stares by being escorted by five idiots from the Kanto branch, Erii wasn't particularly moved by the current group of male escorts who looked at her with curiosity and respect but dared not look too closely. She simply gazed with delight at the wooden plaque atop the Takamagahara lantern—

Eriyi&Sakura's house of everything!

Looking at the names listed side by side, Erii's lips curved slightly, and her lifeless indifference was gone, replaced by pure joy.

My heart was pounding. Despite my intense emotions, the monster hidden deep within me showed no sign of trying to cause trouble.

It resembled the Nian beast from ancient China, which fled in terror at the sound of the cannon salute, hiding deep within its veins, too afraid to show its face.

Erii gripped Lu Mingfei's hand tightly, leaned close to his ear, and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"As expected, it's great to meet Sakura."

Feeling the girl's intoxicating fragrance so close to him, her warm breath brushing against his ear, and her words that seemed to strike straight to his soul, Lu Mingfei felt that even if Bai Wang were to be resurrected, he could transform into the leader of Chen Tang Pass and rush up to skin her alive, tear her flesh, and break her bones.

The skin was used to make clothes for Erii, the muscles were kept for stir-frying, the bones were used to make wine, and the head was given to Azawa as a specimen, since he was born in the Year of the Dragon.

Well, although he might not be a dragon in this timeline, it probably doesn't matter.

"I can only feel at ease when you're by my side."

Lu Mingfei squeezed Erii's hand, smiled, and led her through the welcoming hostess ranks, into the gates of Takamagahara.

Chu Zihang and Lao Tang, who followed closely behind, were not so particular. The former glanced at everyone expressionlessly, and after confirming that there was no threat, he quickly followed the two in front.

Old Tang then went over to greet the humpback whale: "Hey whale, did I cause you any trouble yesterday?"

He was referring to the incident yesterday when he accidentally let his domineering aura overwhelmed everyone in Takamagahara, and it was the humpback whale who helped clean up the mess.

"Nothing of the sort. I've been running this shop for so many years, what problems haven't I seen? It's nothing." The humpback whale, wearing sunglasses, revealed a toothy grin that reflected the light from the corners of its mouth.

Yesterday, the entire Takamagahara nightclub was booked out. The guests were either from wealthy families or held extraordinary social positions. Not to mention that this is the industry leader Takamagahara, even some of the more chaotic nightclubs would be safe with Ryoma Kaoru there keeping things under control.

So they didn't suspect anything, assuming it was just that they couldn't hold their liquor and had parted ways after having enough fun late at night.

"That's good." Old Tang nodded, then the image of the pretty, fierce girl who had dragged him into the women's restroom flashed through his mind again. He thought to himself that with such a big incident happening to the Snake-Headed Eight Families, she probably wouldn't come to patronize Takamagahara's business anymore.

Next up was Genjiro's family group.

Genji's attire was different from last night, but the humpback whale, with its years of experience, had an incredibly sharp eye and immediately recognized her as the legendary host who had caused such a stir yesterday—Master Kazama Ruri.

Just as I was about to remind Old Tang, I noticed that Kazama Ruri's beautiful female companion, who was arm in arm with her, suddenly paused, looking incredulously at one of the male escorts who were lined up to welcome them:

"Sakurai Akira, what are you doing here?"
