Dragon Clan: Force me to be reborn and slay dragons

Chapter 296 The End of Prince Ze: A Joke of Being Nailed to the Pillar of Shame
Little Fatty Lu Mingze has been quite depressed lately. His annoying cousin ran away from home, and his bedroom has finally become his own private world. Every night, he no longer has to hide under the covers and be careful not to make too much noise and be discovered.

However, his online love interest, "Sunset," was too kind-hearted. She took pity on his lazy cousin and offered to take him to live at her home, saying that his parents weren't home and he wouldn't be afraid if someone stayed with him.

And what's more, she even blocked me!
That day, the sun set and never rose again...

The gray sunset icon fell silent, no longer moving. My despair overflowed my chest. What was it—falling—ascending—(;Д`)
Overwhelmed with grief and indignation, the chubby boy was bent over by the green meadow above his head. He howled in the room for a long time in a dejected, forward-leaning posture, and finally recovered after being beaten with a slipper by his mother.

At night, when he was alone in the empty and quiet room, he closed his eyes and the pink image of the sunset and his cousin, who was like a rice weevil, embracing each other affectionately appeared in his mind, and the sound of their flirtatious laughter echoed in his ears.

At that moment, sorrow flowed like a river.

But he is the indestructible "Prince Ze". He will turn his sorrow into desire, pour out all the grief and longing in his heart, and from tomorrow on, he will be a great man again.

But just as he drew the curtains, closed the door, put on his headphones, placed a tissue on his left, and was diligently working on the derivatives from the teacher's instructional video, he discovered that his treasured folder of "derivative formulas" was missing!
That was top-secret information that he had begged and pleaded with netizens and classmates for five years, and it had all vanished without a trace.

That night, the upper limbs sought differentiation, which turned into the lower limbs mourned.

He hid under the covers and cried silently, like a pitiful and helpless 160-pound chubby boy.

Having lived under the same roof for so long, the chubby Lu Mingze naturally knew who had destroyed his treasured differentiation formula. That night, he sent countless messages trying to severely insult Lu Mingfei, but no matter how many he sent, the other party could not see them.

Because he was also blocked by Lu Mingfei.

From that day on, Prince Ze became more melancholic and sorrowful.

He went from being a rich, generous, but greasy chubby guy to a rich, generous, but greasy, pretentious, and melancholic chubby guy.

However, one's luck doesn't stay bad forever. Just the night before last, the class beauty whom the chubby boy had a crush on for a long time suddenly sent him a few private messages. Lu Mingze, who was asking older brothers and sisters online to send him torrent links to save his child, was so surprised that it was like receiving a gigabyte of torrents.

Could it be that the prettiest girl in class likes me?!
He opened the chat box with great anticipation, only to find that the other party had sent a video link, along with a message asking if the boy singing in the video was the chubby boy's cousin.

At that moment, Lu Mingze, the chubby boy, didn't feel as disgusted as if he had eaten dog poop, but rather like he had happily gone out and accidentally stepped in dog poop.

However, since it was rare for the class beauty to be interested in chatting with him, he clicked on the video, wanting to see how much of a fool Lu Mingfei, that tone-deaf guy, made a fool of himself.

But upon closer inspection, his stomach convulsed violently, his facial features contorted like a demon, and the level of disgust skyrocketed. It was as if he had stepped in dog poop, slipped and fallen, and happened to bury his face in another pile of dog poop. When he looked up, there was a cockroach on his face that had been crushed to death and was still twitching.

Damn it, why is it that Lu Mingfei is so handsome and has such a beautiful girl willingly being held in his arms?
The chubby boy was so envious and jealous that he was almost about to break apart, but deep down he was also relieved that Xiyang hadn't ended up with him, and that he still had a chance to salvage that tragic love story.

So he immediately created a new account and sent a friend request to Xiyang. He also flirted with the class beauty he had a crush on, saying that Xiyang was indeed his cousin, but he had always been a lazy person who was tone-deaf and physically inactive. It was thanks to his talented cousin's supervision and guidance that Xiyang was able to perform on stage and win the beauty's heart.

In other words, he doesn't like to be in the limelight, otherwise he would be the one shining the most, and so on...

Upon hearing this, the class beauty indeed began to treat the chubby Lu Mingze with new respect, saying, "Oh my, I didn't expect you to be so amazing, Lu Mingze. How come I've never seen you show off your singing and piano skills before?"

After being praised by the class beauty, the chubby boy was so proud of himself that he kept saying that he was low-key and didn't like to show off. He said that only half-baked people like to flaunt their knowledge, and that a true master always has the heart of an apprentice.

The reality is evident from the fact that his attempts to apply for a solo piano performance at the school's gala for several consecutive years were ruthlessly rejected by his homeroom teacher on the grounds that he was afraid of hurting the student's self-esteem.

As the natural and man-made disasters in Japan escalated, Lu Mingfei, the "handsome boy who saves the world," gradually became popular on the internet in both China and Japan. Even the Koreans in the north couldn't resist joining in, confidently asserting that this kid must have Korean blood. Lu Mingfei also received countless fans from his classmates.

Unlike his mother, who gets annoyed at the mere mention of Lu Mingfei's name, and his father, who always feels guilty towards his older brother, sister-in-law, and nephew, Prince Ze has become a sensation among his classmates thanks to his firsthand information.

It just so happened that it was during the college entrance examination, so he couldn't brag on the spot. Otherwise, he would have dared to apply to the school to speak at the flag-raising ceremony. His speech would have been called "The Road to Success: Me and My Cousin"!
He couldn't wait to tell his classmates and teachers the story of how he led his cousin to success!

Fortunately, although Shilan Secondary School is a private elite school, its rules are even stricter than those of public schools.

Just like some schools give first- and second-year high school students an extra two days off after the college entrance examination, Shilan High School directly recalled all its students to prepare for the academic foundation exam on the weekend.

So early this morning, Lu Mingze begged his father to drive him to school in a BMW. He strode into the classroom with an air of superiority, and surrounded by his classmates, he talked at length about the untold past between him and Lu Mingfei.

"My cousin is such a loser. He liked a girl but didn't dare to confess. I had to plan a grand confession for him so he could finally win her heart."

"Chen Wenwen? That's all in the past. How can a real man let the past hold him back?"

"Oh, he left in such a hurry that night, otherwise you would have heard his thank-you speech, and I was the first person he thanked."

"What do you mean I always spoke ill of my cousin before? I was just feeling sorry for him and angry at his lack of ambition. I was worried about him!"

All morning, Lu Mingze, the chubby boy, never stopped talking. Even during class, he didn't forget to whisper to his deskmate and pass notes.

Although no one knew whether he was telling the truth or not, he would generously spend money to treat others and pay the bill when he was happy and showing off, and everyone was happy to flatter him.

In the next PE class, the chubby boy came out of the school store surrounded by seven or eight boys, each holding a bottle of iced tea or cola, displaying an air of arrogance.

"Why did Lu Mingfei keep a low profile before? Sigh, it's because I used to like reading novels like 'Urban Mad Dragon' and 'King of Soldiers and Security Guards' where the protagonist pretends to be weak while actually being strong."

The chubby boy sighed repeatedly, the iced tea in his hand tasted like horse urine, and after only a couple of sips, it flushed his face and he started talking nonsense.

"Let me tell you, Zhao Menghua is just having fun. If you really want to be on the list of those who deserve to be punished, you have to look to my cousin. He was directly admitted to a prestigious foreign university without taking the entrance exam."

"Chu Zihang? He's too versatile, a pure all-rounder, the most ferocious tiger in the empire, there's no comparison."

Lu Mingfei hasn't been able to return home in glory yet, but Lu Mingze has already done all the pretense for him. It's a good thing that the Lu family ancestors didn't serve as county magistrates in Goose City, otherwise the chubby guy would have already given Lu Mingfei all the limelight ninety years later.

While he was rambling on and on, Lu Mingze suddenly noticed that the class beauty and a few other girls were huddled together, staring intently in the direction of the parking lot, occasionally letting out suppressed gasps of surprise. Some of them were secretly taking out their phones, pointing the camera in a certain direction, their fingers trembling with excitement.

Some even secretly took out their powder compacts to touch up their makeup, looking like concubines about to meet the emperor.

"Wait a minute, that boy wouldn't be—!"

"It's Senior Chu Zihang! I saw him from afar when I signed up to join the student council!"

"Aaaaaah—it's the real Senior Chu! How did he get back? Did he finally remember the junior from Shilan Middle School with whom he secretly pledged his life to each other?!"

"To be honest, I am the junior who made a promise with him to stay together forever and grow old together."

"Get lost! It's clearly me!"

"Haha, you? Look at your stick-like figure, aren't you afraid your children will go hungry in the future?"

"So what if I have big breasts?! What if Senior Chu likes my type?!"

"Tsk tsk, he's so poor he's starting to talk nonsense."

A few boys approached and, upon hearing the girls' suggestive remarks, exchanged bewildered glances.

Sure enough, no matter how the world changes, there will always be only one true legend of Shilan Middle School, and that is the unwavering number one on the list of those who deserve to be punished—Chu Zihang!

"Why is he back?" The chubby boy also noticed the handsome boy who came down the door. He was a little glad that he hadn't said that Chu Zihang was not as good as Lu Mingfei, otherwise he would probably be slapped in the face by reality right now.

She's already so fat, if she gets any bigger she'll turn into Majin Buu!
Look at that dashing figure with his sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, the classic combination of a white shirt and black trousers. He's a beautiful sight to behold, attracting countless young women to stop and linger.

Every young girl dreams of love, every young man longs for romance.

Damn it, why are there such perfect guys in the world?

Is this supposed to be a lively market? They might as well just jump off the administration building; at least they could get half a day off for their classmates, and their time as classmates wouldn't have been in vain.

While being watched, Chu Zihang listened to the excited and bold whispers of the young girls in the distance, but he did not feel offended. However, when he heard one of them say "the junior school girl from Shilan Middle School who has pledged her life to him", the image of a girl whose face he could not see appeared in his mind.

It seems that his youth was not a blank.

There was once a girl who streaked across his world like a shooting star.

They came quietly, and left quietly, waving their sleeves without taking away a single cloud.

But it took away all the memories and colors of her, leaving a blank void in his youth.

He hadn't realized it before, but after meeting Lu Mingfei, he seemed to have a sense of it.

Back at Shilan High School, this sense of loss deepened. It seemed he had truly lost a girl who was very important to him.

In the distance, the number of female students watching was growing, and some of the bolder ones were even itching to come over and try to touch this eternally unattainable flower of Shilan High School.

Lu Mingze and his classmates watched with envy and longed to take his place.

"boom!"

Just as students were gathering in this direction during their break and physical education class, the sound of a door closing came from the other side of the Mercedes. Then, amidst the gazes of many younger students, another rising star from Shilan Middle School made a dazzling appearance.

Lu Mingfei was still wearing a plain cartoon T-shirt and jeans, but with his handsome and sunny face, and Erii, who was dressed the same, he directly stole two-thirds of Chu Zihang's attention.

"Holy crap, isn't that...that...that...that...that...that...isn't that...that guy?!" A boy excitedly patted the chubby Lu Mingze on the shoulder. "Your brother!"

"Holy crap, your brother!"

"It's your brother!"

Lu Mingfei: ? ? ?

Is red bean porridge served for breakfast at Shilan Middle School cafeteria today?

Are all the younger students so lovesick?
"Sakura, there are so many people." Erii couldn't understand what they were saying, but she looked around at the beautiful scenery of Shilan Middle School, which was no less beautiful than that in anime, and sighed softly.

"It's alright, nothing special."

Lu Mingfei's gaze passed through the crowd and landed on the chubby boy who was surrounded by the boys like a star.

That guy looked glamorous on the surface, but in reality, the back of his school uniform was already soaked with cold sweat. His round face was flushed red, and his eyes were darting around, making him look like a hamster that had been thrown into a frying pan, wishing he could dig a hole and bury himself on the spot.

With just one glance, Lu Mingfei knew that this little brat was using him as material to show off.

"Hey Lu Mingze, why did your brother come back with Chu Zihang?"

When the male and female protagonists of the viral video appeared on campus, not only the boys but also the girls were excited.

The chubby boy's crush, the class beauty, came over to him and asked what was going on.

The chubby guy had been bragging a lot, practically saying that Lu Mingfei would have to toast him first at his wedding, but now that he'd met the person in question, he didn't know how to end things.

"Yeah, his reputation at school was worlds apart from Senior Chu's. How did they end up hanging out together?"

"Go ask them! My curiosity is killing the cat!"

Being gazed at with longing and anticipation by a beautiful girl would normally make Lu Mingze feel that his life was complete. He would even think about it at night and couldn't help but turn into a madman writhing in a sea of ​​maggots under his blanket, and he would punch the ceiling every night before going to sleep.

But now he's not facing his good-for-nothing older brother Lu Mingfei, who dares not resist his orders, but his hot-tempered older brother Lu Mingfei, who can stand up to his mother and get away unscathed even after she takes all the foster care fees.

What should I do? If I try to get close to him by putting my arm around his shoulder, will he throw me over his shoulder?

I heard before that Zhao Menghua was beaten halfway through his body for stealing Lu Mingfei's woman. He was sent to the ICU and was only able to walk after half an hour of emergency treatment.

I have a lot of body fat, so I probably won't need to be admitted to the intensive care unit.

I'm going all in! My fat layer is my strongest armor!
Feeling the eager gazes around him, Lu Mingze's vanity overcame his fear, and he strode forward with firm steps.

The male and female students all stared at him, as if they were watching Prometheus stealing fire, Gun taking the soil, or Ximen Qing stealing Pan Jinlian.

One step, two steps, one step, two steps, friction, friction, these are the steps of the brave.

Closer, closer, even closer!
Lu Mingze, weighing 160 pounds, exuded an aura of power. He walked to the parking lot, glancing at Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei whispering to each other, and at the beautiful girl who was almost as stunning as that little fairy but blind to have fallen for her lazy cousin. His gaze lingered on her alluring curves for a couple more seconds before he mustered the courage to speak:
"that……"

As soon as he spoke, Lu Mingze's throat felt as if it were being choked by an invisible hand, his voice stuck in his throat, leaving only a faint breath.

Lu Mingfei slowly turned his gaze to look at him. A pair of dark, abyss-like pupils glanced at him sideways, cold and unfathomable, like a god high in the sky looking down on ants in the mortal world, without a trace of warmth, yet carrying a pressure that could crush the soul.

The gaze, carrying the overwhelming pressure of endless mountains and seas, swept over the little fat boy, instantly shattering his mind. His breathing stopped, his heart seemed to stop beating, his blood froze, his limbs stiffened, and all his strength was drained away in an instant.

It looked like a large character for "death" appeared above my head, its color as bright as blood.

"Boom!"

The knee slammed heavily onto the concrete floor, the dull thud plunging the entire arena into a deathly silence. The whispering boys and girls around them seemed to have had their vocal cords removed, not daring to utter a sound.

"..."

Lu Mingze's obese body slumped down like a lump of mud that couldn't be propped up, cold sweat pouring down his triple chin and leaving a dark water stain on the dry ground.

The moment his knees touched the ground, the chubby boy saw a revolving lantern.

The game consoles and comics stolen in his childhood, the pocket money obtained through coercion and bribery, the shameless framing after causing trouble, the undisguised disdain and disgust... all the evil deeds he had deliberately forgotten now materialized, piercing his brain like thousands of steel needles.

Excruciating pain coursed through his entire body, almost making him scream. But under the overwhelming fear, his facial muscles went out of control, and he couldn't open his mouth or make a sound.

Everyone stared at this scene with wide eyes and disbelief.

The usually arrogant and boastful Prince Ze was now kneeling on the ground like a stray dog, trembling all over, not daring to lift his head.

And his cousin Lu Mingfei, whom he said relied on him for everything... didn't even glance at him.

The man simply withdrew his gaze indifferently, as if the person kneeling before him was nothing more than an insignificant ant. He then took the hand of the girl beside him and walked side by side with Chu Zihang toward the administration building.

The three figures stood tall and straight like blades, bathed in a cold halo of sunlight, forming a stark contrast with Lu Mingze kneeling on the ground.

"Tick."

A warm current slowly flowed down Lu Mingze's inner thigh, the turbid yellow and foul-smelling liquid gradually soaking through his school trousers and accumulating into a small puddle on the cement ground.

"Wow—"

The students who were watching finally reacted and burst into a series of suppressed gasps.

Some people covered their noses and backed away, some took out their phones and took pictures like crazy, and some pointed to the water stains on the ground, paying homage to the abstract art, and sighed with admiration that Picasso was still alive.

"Holy crap! Did I really pee my pants?!"

"Prince Ze was actually made of water?!"

"Quick, quick, take a picture! This is the most memorable moment of the year at Shilan High School!"

The chubby boy's mind went blank; all he could hear was a sharp, crackling sound, and he couldn't hear the laughter and noise of others.

His face turned a deep purplish-red, his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a single syllable.

He knew he was finished.

From today onwards, he will no longer be the "Prince Ze" who once dominated the class.

It was the first time in the history of Shilan Secondary School that someone had been so frightened by a single look that they lost control of their bladder in public... a joke.

The endless, boundless shame overwhelmed the chubby boy. He watched the three figures disappear at the end of the school path, then looked back at the classmates who were taking pictures with their phones, their faces showing shock, disgust, bewilderment, or mockery. The world in his eyes began to spin, and his brain was filled with dizziness.

When he finally saw the barely perceptible look of disdain on the class beauty's face, he was so angry that he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Before consciousness completely succumbed to chaos, someone cried out in alarm:
"Holy crap, Lu Mingze has fallen into the water! Quick, save him!"
