Dragon Clan: I am Lu Mingfei, the Intelligence Strategist, the God of Concepts!

Chapter 105 Nuwa's A
"O...Odin?"

Nono was stunned.

He immediately frowned and began to think seriously.

"Yes."

Lu Mingfei didn't rush her, letting her slowly organize her thoughts.

He wasn't saying these things to force Nuonuo to leave, nor was he saying he found her annoying and wanted to get rid of her.

In fact, he had already acknowledged the girl's determination.

That loneliness, resentment, stubbornness, and sorrow hidden deep in his bones... he saw his former self reflected in it.

Lu Mingfei was well aware that Nuonuo's behavior was essentially driven by her inner hatred, and that temporary dignity and honor were not within her consideration.

but,

In Lu Mingfei's opinion, there was really no need to treat her like a maid or servant.

He was willing to help her as much as he could.

Moreover, this girl harbors significant secrets. Lu Mingfei doesn't believe that such a grand ambition as 'Plan Frigga' would be shattered simply because of the downfall of the Chen family. He fears it will likely lead to many more unforeseen events in the future.

Until then, let's just consider them comrades-in-arms.

After all, Odin... was also Lu Mingfei's enemy.

Staying by his side is useless. It just so happens that my senior brother is conducting an investigation alone at Kassel College and lacks help. Having someone with powerful profiling abilities to assist him would at least save a lot of trouble.

After a moment, Nono seemed to have figured something out.

"I understand," she said softly.

"Oh right, there's another question. If you go back to Kassel, will you be controlled afterward?" Lu Mingfei asked again.

He remembered that Nuonuo had briefly mentioned that she had been forcibly summoned back by the Chen family head through some kind of linguistic suggestion.

This was a deep hypnotic technique provided by members of the Holy Palace Medical Association at the beginning of Frigga's plan, used to completely control the Frigga series of experimental subjects.

"Probably not."

Nono hesitated for a moment and said, "Now I have a memory anchor in my mind, and I should be able to live entirely according to my own will from now on."

"Row."

Lu Mingfei nodded, then glanced at her maid outfit. "Then you can go ahead and pack your things, or find a place to rest... In short, do what you need to do. Nuwa and I have important matters to discuss."

Important matters...to be discussed?
Nono nodded calmly.

"Okay, I'll go now. You two can continue your conversation," she said.

……

They watched as Nuonuo, who seemed to have grasped something, disappeared at the far end of the hall.

Lu Mingfei finally breathed a sigh of relief, but soon tensed up again.

A pair of soft, delicate hands once again clung to her shoulders.

"What important thing do you want to tell me?"

He turned his head and looked,
Nuwa was blinking her crystal-clear eyes, staring intently at him. Her pink lips parted slightly, and her moist breath wafted over him, giving him an inexplicable feeling that she might be very affectionate...

Lu Mingfei was suddenly startled.
What the hell?! What's wrong with this girl?! No, wait! What's wrong with me?

At this moment, Nuwa drew closer once more.

The image of her carefully wiping my body after the battle last night resurfaced in my mind.

At the time, I didn't think much of it, but now, looking back, it suddenly has a kind of enchanting feel to it.

During the bloody battle with Leviathan, Lu Mingfei's clothes were already riddled with holes from the aftershocks of the battle, practically nonexistent. Yet, even in this situation, Nuwa used towels to wipe away all the blood and grime from his body from head to toe.

And logically speaking, since Nuwa was wearing the Nuwa clan's close-fitting armor at the time, it could be considered that she went into battle without any protection...

Hmm—this is getting more and more outrageous the more I think about it!
Lu Mingfei broke out in a cold sweat, almost forgetting why he had come in the first place.

See this.

Nuwa chuckled, stopping short of making a point.

She withdrew her small hand that was about to climb onto Lu Mingfei's neck, and changed the subject, saying, "Hehehe, by the way, don't you like girls serving you? Actually, I think this girl is quite pretty."

“It’s not the same thing.” Lu Mingfei shook his head. “She just wanted my help to get revenge, and I just happened to have the same goal, so I didn’t mind helping her out.”

"Besides, she herself is quite useful. At most, it's just an exchange of benefits. As for taking in slaves and servants... what era are we living in? We don't talk about these things anymore. Otherwise, people will think that I, Lu Mingfei, am some kind of villain."

"Oh." Nuwa nodded thoughtfully.

However, after her interruption, Lu Mingfei had to reorganize his thoughts and think about how to tell her that he wanted to go back to Binhai.

Deep down, perhaps no man hasn't dreamed of having multiple women on his side. Even during their school years, they might fantasize about having a large harem with a bunch of pretty girls in their class. This is an instinct etched into human DNA; the rest is just a matter of ability or institutional constraints.

The same applies to Lu Mingfei.

Now he fully understands why these people treated him so well when he first entered the Zhou family.

At first, he thought the Zhou family just wanted him to join this ancient family as an outsider... He was naturally willing, as having a powerful backer meant he could live a more stable life.

But now Lu Mingfei is finally starting to realize what's going on.

Having him join this ancient family was indeed the driving force behind the Zhou family's decision, but the path taken was somewhat different from what he had imagined!

So this is how you 'join' it all? It's really tempting me!
In the beginning, every morning when he was learning combat techniques with Zhou Minhao and his son at the Zhou family's martial arts arena, young girls from the Zhou family would often pass by. Zhou Minhao would then recite the information about those girls as if they were his own treasures, and make sly comments about them with a shifty look.

Lu Mingfei glanced at it briefly, but he wasn't really interested.

Homegrown flowers may smell as sweet as wild ones. But now the truth has been revealed: the real mastermind behind it all is actually Nuwa!
Then the situation becomes different again.

After last night's great battle, not only Nuwa, but also Lu Mingfei's heart underwent a certain degree of change.

Now he began to seriously examine these ideas.

Is it related to the 'dragon personality'? ... Maybe it is, but what Lu Mingfei knows more is that he has already developed feelings for the girl in front of him who has multiple facets, including gentleness, majesty, strength, wisdom, and cuteness.

That's why, after Leviathan knocked her away, he immediately used the Word of Power "Don't Die," and then went back to fighting with his spear. He didn't want this girl, who loved playing games just like him, always smiled at him, and had always favored him, to activate some kind of secret technique and pay the price with her life in order to defeat a powerful enemy.

At least, don't do it before him.

Now, Nuwa has almost revealed her intentions to him.

but……

Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth, about to say something.

But then she felt a cold finger touch her lips.

"Wait for me to finish speaking first, then I'll listen to you all later," Nuwa said with a smile.

"it is good."

Lu Mingfei calmed his slightly agitated emotions.

It's still about serious business.

"There will be another formal group meeting later, which will concern the handling of the Chen family's situation."

At this moment, Nuwa took out another stack of reports.

"I don't need to know about this, you can handle it yourself." Lu Mingfei shook his head, but did not reach out to take it.

"No, because this Chen family incident involves the death of a dragon king. Many representatives from mixed-race forces will be attending the hearing, and we will display the dragon bones... Anyway, there is no original power of the dragon king inside, so there is no need to worry about any trouble," said Nuwa.

"so……?"

Lu Mingfei had vaguely grasped a key point.

"You killed the Dragon King, so do you want to show up at the meeting? As the dragon-slaying hero?"

Nuwa gazed at Lu Mingfei with a smile.

"This……"

Lu Mingfei was slightly taken aback.

Having roughly understood Nuwa's meaning, it's clear that the details of the Dragon King's battle are currently kept secret. Nuwa has issued a gag order, forbidding any member of the Zhou family from revealing any details of last night's events, under penalty of punishment according to family rules.

Therefore, even now, people outside the community still subconsciously believe that the person who killed the Dragon King was the contemporary Zhou family's Nuwa.

This was to protect Lu Mingfei, but neither Nuwa nor the Zhou family intended to seize the honor and place it on their own heads.

And this moment.

Nuwa gave the decision-making power to Lu Mingfei.

Let him decide for himself whether or not he wants to be the 'dragon-slaying hero'.

"You mean... the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind?" Lu Mingfei pondered.

“That’s right. Although the main theme of the world is still dragon slaying, the waters within the hybrid race are very deep. Especially in the recent dragon-slaying battles, the human side has suffered heavy losses, and many people have become pessimistic and have some unwarranted thoughts as a result,” Nuwa said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei thought of the Holy Palace Medical Association.

An organization where humans and dragons coexist, there is no doubt that the relationships between its members are based on cooperation.

"That's why I didn't reveal your existence right away."

Nuwa also said, "Sometimes being too high-profile is not a good thing, as it may attract all sorts of covetous eyes."

"However, the decision rests with you. If you intend to appear at the meeting, I will then mold you into a banner or benchmark for the Zhou family and even the entire orthodox lineage, as well as a spokesperson for the orthodox lineage's re-entry into the world."

"This should deter some of the petty scoundrels."

Lu Mingfei remained silent.

He understood what Nuwa meant, and he also understood the meaning of the last sentence.

The so-called 'reputation' is a double-edged sword. It can deter petty people, but once a real conspiracy breaks out, it will come like a storm. At that time, who knows what kind of monsters and demons will jump out from the shadows. They will be fully prepared and once they make their move, they will not give you any chance to turn the tables.

This is an honor, but also a danger.

"I need to think about it," Lu Mingfei said with a serious expression.

"no problem."

Nuwa smiled slightly, "The meeting is scheduled to begin in seven days. You can give it your full consideration before then."

"All right."

"That's all I wanted to tell you. If you have anything to say to me, go ahead."

Nuwa put down the documents, leaned against the desk, propped her chin up with her small hand, and looked at Lu Mingfei with bright eyes.

Lu Mingfei said calmly, "I plan to go back to Binhai in the next couple of days."

"OK,"

Nuwa smiled and said, "Can you take me with you then?"

"I also want to go to Binhai to see it."
