Dragon Clan: Force me to be reborn and slay dragons

Chapter 346 Automatic Troop Upgrade, Xia Mi's Difficult Choice

Jiang Wanzhi's parents, like her, were handsome and good-looking middle-aged men and women. They were extremely grateful to Lu Mingfei.

At first, Lu Mingfei was puzzled as to what was going on and why his parents were so agitated. Only after Jiang Wanzhi explained did he realize that after he almost stabbed Zhao Xuzhen to death with a stick last night, Jiang Wanzhi had told her father everything.

With the Zhou family's protection, Old Man Jiang finally made up his mind to tell the truth to his wife, who had been living in fear for so many years and had always suspected that his own daughter was a ghost and locked him in the room all day.

He recounted everything truthfully, including the mysterious British organization, the Buckingham Palace's resurrectionists, and the sale of his daughter's remains to make an eight-year deal.

Because the matter was so outrageous, Madam Jiang thought that Jiang Wanzhi had bewitched her husband before leaving, that he could even say such absurd things.

Old Man Jiang talked for half the night until his throat was dry, and finally convinced Madam Jiang to believe him to some extent.

Meanwhile, her daughter, who had been through so much pain and death, had never harmed her over the years and treated her with great respect, like her own mother. Moreover, since they were going to Baidi City, which she had visited to pray for blessings when she was young and believed in the protection of gods and Buddhas, she came along as well.

When she arrived at the destination and met Jiang Wanzhi, and witnessed the Golden Eyes and Word Spirit, she finally believed that this was truly her own daughter. She immediately hugged her tightly and cried her heart out.

Seeing his wife and daughter with tears in their eyes, Old Man Jiang stepped forward and embraced them, joining the ranks of those who were also moved to tears. Only the fair-skinned man in the distance watched the family of three crying together, looking around awkwardly, his toes almost tearing through his shoe insoles, digging a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground.

"Mingfei, I am deeply grateful for your kindness, but I must bow to you!" After explaining the whole story, Old Man Jiang was about to give Lu Mingfei a deep bow.

He was a playboy in his youth, and he went out into society at a young age to make his way in the world. He was a notorious troublemaker in the area. Even in his old age, he still retained the temperament of his youth. If Lu Mingfei hadn't been quick to stop him, he would have had to serve himself half a bowl less at his meal today.

Even so, Old Man Jiang was still thinking about becoming sworn brothers with Lu Mingfei, so that Jiang Wanzhi would call him "Uncle".

After much persuasion, they finally managed to convince him to stop.

"Oh right, I forgot to introduce you. This is my good friend, Dr. Xiaobai." Old Man Jiang introduced the fair-skinned man next to Lu Mingfei. "My wife isn't in good health, and since the journey is long and we were worried about her not adapting to the new environment, we asked Dr. Xiaobai to come along."

Your surname is Bai?

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but take another look at the man. When Zhou Minhao had explained things to him earlier, he mentioned a mixed-race family that was no less powerful than the Zhou family, and their surname was Bai.

I wonder if this young doctor is from the Bai family, and why he hasn't been able to awaken his bloodline.

"Hello, my name is Bai Shanglu." Dr. Bai greeted him with a smile, looking a little shy.

"Hello, hello." Lu Mingfei had just noticed that he would occasionally glance at Jiang Wanzhi out of the corner of his eye. Jiang Wanzhi seemed unintentional, but she would also occasionally give him a little attention. He knew that this person was not just a doctor accompanying him on this trip, but also a blind date that Jiang's father had arranged for his daughter.

Leaving that aside for now, he'd find out by asking Zhou Minhao when they got back to the guesthouse. Lu Mingfei then looked at Madam Jiang, whose eyes were still slightly red and swollen. Seeing her thin frame, pale face, and overall listless and weak appearance, resembling Su Xiaoqiang's father from his previous life, he said:

"Aunt Jiang seems a bit weak. Hasn't she had a medical check-up before?"

"This..." Old Man Jiang scratched his head upon hearing this, hesitating to speak.

Madam Jiang, however, looked ashamed and said that it was her fault for refusing to go out to see a doctor, which caused her health to deteriorate.

Lu Mingfei nodded: "It's best to get checked as soon as possible. To be honest, I have an elder who refused to get a physical examination, and in the end, he fell seriously ill."

The Jiang family of three nodded in agreement, indicating that they would go for a comprehensive check-up first thing tomorrow morning.

As for Dr. Xiaobai... there's an A-Du song that goes: I shouldn't be here, I should be under the car, watching how sweet your whole family is.

After they finished their conversation, Xia Mi and Chu Zihang, who were by the river, also packed up and prepared to go back. Their catch was not much, just a few small crucian carp that had crossed the river, about the size of a palm, which were tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away.

The group returned together. Jiang Wanzhi is a well-known beautiful boss in Yangcheng Lake. Even if she is not a billionaire, she is still quite wealthy. She directly rented the guesthouse next door at a high price.

When Old Man Jiang learned that the entire house next door was full of mixed-race people, he felt a little sorry for Dr. Xiao Bai, as if he had committed the sin of sending sheep into the tiger's den.

But soon, Lu Mingfei brought over Zhou Minhao, the local tyrant of Kunshan. After a few simple pleasantries, he got straight to the point and asked about Dr. Xiaobai's background.

Bai Shanglu felt like he was being interrogated by his blind date's parents, but he and Old Man Jiang were close friends despite their age difference. Their daily interactions always gave off a vibe of "Little Bai, do you want a wife?" or "My family needs a son-in-law." This time, he was inexplicably invited to travel to the mountain city together, so it was impossible for him not to be mentally prepared.

He never expected that Zhou Minhao, who was rumored to be a perfect match with Jiang Wanzhi and often seen together at various events, would become the one checking his household registration.

He said he was an orphan who ran a small traditional Chinese medicine clinic, specializing in treating sprains and bruises and providing massage. He treated patients using a few family-inherited prescriptions and self-taught techniques. He had never attended medical school and did not have a formal medical license, so he lived a very hard life.

Old Man Jiang was his regular customer. Whenever he felt unwell, he would come to him for cupping to soothe his spine. He would also come to play chess with him when he had nothing else to do, though he was terrible at it.

After Bai Shanglu and Old Man Jiang finished adding their comments, Zhou Minhao and Lu Mingfei exchanged a glance, confirming that this was yet another unlucky soul entangled with the Blood Sorrow of the Gully.

After glancing at Bai Shanglu, who looked completely bewildered, and asking about the prescriptions, Zhou Minhao finally confirmed:

"The Bai family's main business also includes medicine, and several of Dr. Bai's ancient prescriptions seem to have some similarities."

Upon hearing this, Bai Shanglu scratched his head, looked at Old Man Jiang, and asked in a low voice what kind of drama was going on, like the tadpole looking for its mother or the tiger returning home.

Old Man Jiang didn't know either, but he saw a hint of caution in the eyes of Zhou Minhao and his daughter, indicating that the son-in-law they had chosen seemed to have a complicated background.

Oh no, is my son-in-law, who's almost at the top of the barrel, about to fly away?
“But Dr. Xiaobai isn’t…” Old Man Jiang pointed to himself, then to his eyes, indicating that he didn’t have the Golden Eyes.

Zhou Minhao had already heard Lu Mingfei mention this before he arrived, so he sat up straight and looked at Bai Shanglu: "Dr. Bai, do you want to know the real world and understand the meaning of life?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Shanglu sat up straight, his gaze sweeping over the wrists of the group. Not seeing any Reincarnator watches, he breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled.
"If I say I want to, will I be sent to the Main God Space?"

Zhou Minhao didn't understand the joke, nor did Jiang Wanzhi, but Lu Mingfei laughed: "Don't worry, we don't have any big light spheres here, nor do the guides embezzle reward points."

After saying this, the two looked at each other and smiled, leaving everyone who saw them somewhat puzzled.

But both Jiang Wanzhi and her father breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. In any case, it was always good that Bai Shanglu could maintain a good relationship with Lu Mingfei.

After laughing, Lu Mingfei added, "Although there's no way to exchange bloodlines with the main god, there is another method."

Bai Shanglu was taken aback upon hearing this: "What?"

All eyes were on Lu Mingfei. Zhou Minhao and Jiang Wanzhi, who knew the inside story, also watched him, waiting for him to chant the incantation of the Black Emperor's power to suppress all dragon blood life in the world.

Unexpectedly, what came out of Lu Mingfei's mouth was not the beginning of all the Words of Power, the Dragon's Might belonging to the Black Emperor, but a short English sentence: "Medieval man!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scenery before Bai Shanglu's eyes changed instantly. He heard the sounds of rivers, lakes, and seas, and felt as if he were in the midst of a raging storm. He looked down, trying to see where he was. But all he could see was a black ocean. When he looked down, he was immediately met with two giant, golden underwater searchlights, their wicks resembling the vertical pupils of snakes.

He quickly realized that those weren't searchlights, they were real, damn eyes!

A beam of light split open in the sky, illuminating him and the black sea. He saw the golden giant eye beneath his feet disappear, replaced by a gaping maw covered in sharp teeth, large enough to swallow him whole.

As he was being swallowed, he only had time to shout "Holy shit!" before he was instantly jolted awake from the illusion.

"Dr. Bai, are you alright?" Old Man Jiang held his shoulder, his eyes half surprised and half happy, because at this moment Bai Shanglu's eyes were sparkling with the color of a fellow mixed-race.

He truly ignited his golden eyes!
"What's wrong with me?" Bai Shanglu gasped for breath, finding the world before him much clearer, and even the slight fatigue from the long journey had disappeared.

Jiang Wanzhi silently handed him a mirror. He glanced at it and almost jumped three feet in surprise: "What...what is this?"

Lu Mingfei glanced at Zhou Minhao: "I'll leave the rest to you, Brother Zhou."

It was agreed before we came that if Bai Shanglu is indeed of the Bai family bloodline, then he should naturally acknowledge his ancestors and return to the clan. After all, the Bai family is a true aristocratic family, whose ancestors can be traced back to Bai Qi, the god of war during the Warring States period, and their population is not very large.

The Jiang family is a nobody and can't help, so Zhou Minhao has to step in.

This is a good opportunity to give Zhou Minhao and the Tang family some work to do, so that he won't be unable to sleep at night after watching horror movies and wander around aimlessly, only to encounter ghostly figures floating around.

Zhou Minhao nodded. He really hadn't expected that he would encounter the descendants of three historically famous families after simply following Lu Mingfei on his family's mission.

Fortunately, compared to Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, who are known for their quiet but surprising abilities, this novice doctor seems much more normal.

At least, according to Lu Mingfei's verification, his bloodline is indeed quite weak. Even if he is a descendant of the Bai family, he should be a collateral branch, not a direct descendant.

Lu Mingfei got up to take his leave and politely declined everyone's offer to see him off, except for Old Man Jiang who insisted on seeing him to the door.

Back at the guesthouse, Xia Mi and Finger approached, wanting to ask what was going on next door.

It wasn't anything shameful, so Lu Mingfei told them about it, which made Xia Mi and Finger sigh with emotion.

Now that things have come to this, whether Old Man Jiang and Dr. Xiao Bai can become father-in-law and son-in-law is up to fate.

When it came to the union of aristocratic families and commoner mixed-race individuals, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but turn his gaze to Chu Zihang, only to meet Chu Zihang's eyes.

"Hehe~" Lu Mingfei gave a thumbs up and revealed a mysterious smile that everyone understood.

Keep it up, my friend. This is a new era, and prejudice is not insurmountable.

Besides, the Chu family is gone now, and Xia Mi is currently happy to be her junior schoolmate next door, not yet revealing her true colors as a rich heiress.

Chu Zihang: "..."

He understood, and he looked away.

"What are you saying that makes you so happy?" Another brother, who broke down barriers and lived off his wife, appeared.

Old Tang spent the whole afternoon on the rooftop in the wind, and his slanted eyebrows were almost flattened. Fortunately, Longma Xun was there to keep him company.

"Nothing much." Lu Mingfei shook his head. "So, did you gain anything from your afternoon of telepathy?"

Yes, and it's quite large.

Old Tang reminisced about the warm scene of watching the sunset with Longma Xun in the evening, feeling that he had the appearance of a weak and incompetent ruler, enjoying himself so much that he didn't think of his brother.

But that's obviously not true, and he was just momentarily distracted.

Seeing him shake his head, Lu Mingfei gave him a look, indicating that there would be an operation that night.

The brief exchange of glances between the two was noticed by Fingel and Xia Mi. The former pretended not to see it, thinking about how many bowls of rice he would show off later.

The latter pondered for a moment and decided to join the fray tonight.

Although neither of them are ordinary people with exceptional perception, as long as the distance is far enough, they probably won't be able to detect me.

If you are discovered, don't panic. Just pretend to be a bounty hunter from the Seven Deadly Sins.

What does it have to do with me, Xia Mi, if a bounty hunter is tracking me?

The plan goes through!
After dinner, everyone went out for a stroll to experience the nightlife of the people of Sichuan. Zhou Minhao and the Jiang family could not go because of Bai Shanglu's matter, which meant that there were no outsiders to interfere.

Poor Fingel, there was a couple on his left, a couple on his right, and a couple in front of him, leaving him all alone. He wished he could bring the entire projection equipment from the Kassel library so that his AI girlfriend could keep him company.

Returning late at night, Lu Mingfei played games with Erii for a while before coaxing her to go to sleep. Then, in the dead of night, he found Lao Tang, and the two of them silently blended into the shadows, turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating into the evening breeze.

Inside a room by the river, a girl dressed in black sensed that two people were missing from the room. She instantly sat up from the bed and silently opened the window.

Just as he was about to slip away into the night with the wind, he saw a person looking up at the courtyard wall below, following the sound. It was Chu Zihang.

When their eyes met, Xia Mi was taken aback, wondering why this guy was squatting downstairs.

But she quickly composed herself, adopting the demeanor of a girl next door, and asked with curiosity, "Senior brother, why aren't you asleep so late? Is something on your mind?"

I asked him casually, not expecting him to answer truthfully, but to my surprise, the person below nodded after a two-second silence.

Instantly, it seemed as if a visual novel option popped up in front of the girl:

"Iceberg's beautiful boy's heart partner" or "Other people's tail line".

Is it to listen to the secrets of the aloof and handsome young man, or to follow him and do bad things?

The girl was faced with a difficult choice.
