Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

The next day at noon, Lu Mingfei used the ingredients in the refrigerator to make two simple oyako-don (chicken and egg rice bowls). After finishing lunch and cleaning up the dishes, Lu Mingfei grabbed a paper bag and hurriedly left.

Mai walked onto the balcony, stretched lazily, and watched Lu Mingfei walk out of the community gate and be picked up by a black Audi A8. Only then did she tilt her head and reveal a playful expression.

"So you've even become a kept man?"

Mai Shude wasn't surprised. She knew that Lu Mingfei seemed to be very close to a rich girl in their class named Liu Miaomiao. During their graduation trip in the summer vacation, they happened to stay at the Black Prince Hotel, which was run by potato chips.

"No wonder he was dressed so smartly, he really was going on a date."

Mai returned to the living room, just as the midday news on TV finished airing and switched to the weather forecast.

It's a sunny day today, no rain is coming, so everything should be fine...

Mai pondered for a moment, hesitated, and then walked into the open kitchen and took the kitchen knife from the table. She wrapped it in several layers of plastic wrap and tucked it behind her waist.

……

The banquet was scheduled to start at 7 p.m., but people could begin entering as early as 6 p.m.

Su Xiaoqiang first took Lu Mingfei to get his hair redone, and then sat down next to Lu Mingfei. The makeup artists then skillfully styled Su Xiaoqiang's hair.

Lu Mingfei's eyes unconsciously glanced to his side, curious about what kind of hairstyle the little fairy would have.

"Just do your job properly!" Little Fairy glared at Lu Mingfei in the mirror and gritted her teeth fiercely.

Lu Mingfei let out an "Oh" and looked away. He hadn't expected the little fairy to be so shy.

Perhaps because the makeup artist often styles Su Xiaoqiang, Lu Mingfei's styling wasn't finished yet, but Xiaotiannv's was already almost done.

By the time Lu Mingfei's hair was fixed, Su Xiaoqiang had already changed into her evening gown and gracefully walked out of the dressing room.

Su Xiaoqiang did not wear a particularly formal gown, but instead chose a simpler and more youthful cocktail dress in navy blue to match her own temperament.

Because she is of mixed race, Su Xiaoqiang's hair was naturally slightly curly, so she didn't do much perming or dyeing. Instead, she put all her long hair up in a bun at the back of her head and styled it to have a slightly fluffy look.

The few stray hairs that fall naturally around her ears, combined with her light and delicate makeup, add a touch of girlish playfulness.

The sheer, off-the-shoulder strapless dress subtly reveals her beautiful neckline and sexy collarbones. The dress's silhouette naturally cinches at her slender waist, extending to near her knees. Paired with a mysterious navy blue hue, it naturally exudes a youthful and enigmatic charm.

Like a princess, Su Xiaoqiang proudly placed one hand on her waist and twirled lightly in place. Her high-slit skirt fluttered between her thighs, and her black Christian Louboutin high heels made a melodious and captivating tapping sound on the floor.

Seeing Lu Mingfei staring blankly, the little fairy felt a little smug. She still remembered the grudge from yesterday.

"What? Are you staring at me in a daze?"

Su Xiaoqiang smiled lightly, thinking that Lu Mingfei would be embarrassed and stammering after her words. Unexpectedly, Lu Mingfei went straight to the point, answering bluntly:

"I've never seen you wear a formal dress before, but you look really beautiful in this one."

Lu Mingfei's praise left Su Xiaoqiang somewhat at a loss. She stammered for a while before finally managing to say the words, putting her hands on her hips and waving her hands, instructing Lu Mingfei, "You should go and change your clothes too!"

Watching Lu Mingfei disappear into the changing room, Su Xiaoqiang's ears belatedly started to burn. She bit her lip, her hands hanging limply in front of her, fidgeting nervously.

Does this guy... really have absolutely no sense of distance?!

By the time Lu Mingfei came out in a suit, Su Xiaoqiang had calmed down considerably. She stood in front of Lu Mingfei and solemnly explained some basic etiquette for the banquet.

Although Lu Mingfei knew most of these things, he did not interrupt Xiaotiannv. Instead, he listened quietly to her finish speaking and then repeated the story to her.

Su Xiaoqiang felt relieved after Lu Mingfei reiterated the main points of the banquet.

"There's one last thing," Su Xiaoqiang said, hands on her hips, "I need to make up a convincing family background for you."

"Family background?" Lu Mingfei was taken aback. "Is that part of it?"

“Of course.” The little fairy shrugged. “If I don’t make up some impressive backstory for you, how can you keep those flies with ulterior motives in check? I remember you said your parents were international archaeologists, right?”

"Yes."

Are there any well-known projects that are related to this?

Results?

Lu Mingfei thought for a moment. His parents were both of mixed race, and the title of archaeologist was probably just a cover for convenience. Although he had probably participated in some important projects, they were definitely related to dragons, which he couldn't tell outsiders.

He suddenly remembered hearing in his "Dragon Genealogy" course that the academy had a project excavating royal tombs, so he hesitated before saying:

"It seems they were involved in the excavation of the royal tombs?"

"Alright!" Su Xiaoqiang clapped her hands. "That makes things easier. Now your parents are 'internationally renowned archaeologists,' your family is a scholarly and prestigious family, and you are a highly educated child who grew up immersed in ancient culture. Got it?"

Lu Mingfei was taken aback, thinking to himself that the little fairy's ability to spout nonsense was no less than his own.

"Do you know any archaeology-related terminology?" Su Xiaoqiang asked. "If not, do you want to look some up online and memorize them?"

Lu Mingfei actually knows quite a lot of archaeology-related terminology.

Back in Kassel College, his major was "Dragon Genealogy," and one of the jobs he could do after graduation was to travel the world with his mentor to dig up dragon tombs.

The Bronze City in the Three Gorges was designed by the academy.

Their public identities are those of students or lecturers in the archaeology department of a well-known university in Amy. They have all the necessary credentials and must memorize the relevant terminology, since they will be required to give statements when excavating the Dragon Tomb.

Su Xiaoqiang nodded in satisfaction when Lu Mingfei said he knew the relevant terminology.

"That's about it then." Su Xiaoqiang's bright eyes swept over Lu Mingfei. "Although he's not from a merchant family, he comes from a scholarly background, and his parents are both highly educated. He should be able to handle those annoying guys, though..."

However, what she was most worried about was whether she could get past her father.

……

Mai Shude entered the elevator and pressed the button for the 86th floor.

The elevator doors slowly closed, and a slight feeling of weightlessness came from under my feet. After a brief moment of low pressure, the elevator stopped on the 86th floor.

Mai walked to her room door and had just pressed the doorbell when the door opened impatiently.

Su Enxi opened her arms and gave me a big hug.

"Waaaaah, Mai, I miss you so much, waaaaah..."

Before her hand could even touch Mai Shude, Mai Shude's figure had already moved to the side as if by magic, pressing down on Su Enxi's head while hooking the door shut with her foot.

"Waaaaah, Mai, you're so heartless."

Su Enxi covered her head, pouted, and knelt on the carpet with her legs spread wide.

The next moment, however, he saw Mai Shude coldly pull out a square cleaver from behind her back.

Su Enxi was dumbfounded: "During the few days you stayed at Lu Mingfei's house, did you pay for your room by working as a cook?"

"Do I look like someone who can cook?" Mai rolled her eyes. "You know I'm much better at slicing people than slicing sashimi."

"Then why do you carry a kitchen knife with you? And what's with your clothes?"

Mai looked at herself; the loose-fitting men's clothing still carried a hint of sunshine—she had taken it down from the balcony and changed into a new outfit before leaving the house.

"For self-defense, isn't it?" Mai Shude casually kicked off her men's shoes, stepped barefoot onto the carpet, and sat down on the bed. "My clothes are all bruised and battered, so I can only borrow Lu Mingfei's clothes to wear."

Su Enxi sat down on the edge of the bed, her eyes scanning up and down Jiu De Mai's body before commenting, "I think this outfit of yours is even more attractive to men than usual. A beautiful woman wearing your own clothes is every man's dream!"

Is it necessary?

Mai shrugged, stretched her limbs by pulling her hands above her head, and straightened her long legs freely. "What clothes can I wear that won't attract men?"

This guy!

Su Enxi gritted her teeth indignantly. Although she knew that Mai was telling the truth, her looks were only considered to be those of a minor beauty in the business school, while Mai would definitely be a high-class rose that crushed all the ordinary girls in an art school full of talented people.

But to say it so casually is just too infuriating!

"Stop talking about this."

After stretching her muscles, Mai Shude had a comfortable and satisfied expression on her face: "Let's get down to business first. Take a look at this document and see what fancy techniques it contains."

As she spoke, Shude Mai reached into the soft spring mountain with two fingers and pulled out a piece of A4 paper that had been folded many times and was full of creases.

"So this is what 'keeping a low profile' means? It really means hiding something..."

Su Enxi watched Jiu De Mai's actions, clicked her tongue, took the still warm folded paper from Mai's hand, and unfolded it in front of her.

……

Chapter 153 Call Me Qiangqiang

"This is... Chu Tianjiao's student file at Kassel College?"

Su Enxi's voice rose at the end as if in surprise: "You actually managed to make this thing?"

"Actually, I bought it from inside Kassel College..." Mai Shude rubbed her forehead and explained the whole story.

"Although I've heard that their executive department is indeed becoming increasingly stingy, has Kassel College's finances really gotten this tight?"

Su Enxi muttered to herself, flipping through the two documents in her hands, her beautiful eyebrows gently furrowing together.

"This man's life is incredibly simple. He's an 'S' level, after all. It can be summarized in just two pages."

“Aren’t there plenty of people like this in history books?” Mai Shude spread her hands. “If we die one day, we might leave behind even less of a story than him. Maybe only the inscription on our tombstones will prove that we ever existed.”

"If my mother dies, I want all the stock codes I've ever bought to be engraved on her tombstone, so that archaeologists a thousand years from now can decipher them."

Su Enxi rubbed her hands together, flipping through the documents in her hands twice more:

"I don't see anything special in these documents. They're just two simple files: a student file from Kassel College and a personnel file from the Executive Department. Is there some secret hidden in them?"

“I don’t know either,” said Mai Shude. “I just feel that if it’s just an ordinary document, Odin wouldn’t have bothered to open Nibelungen for me.”

Su Enxi had a sudden inspiration: "Perhaps... what's special isn't the content of these two documents? But the documents themselves?"

Mai Shude was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"So close! I was just a hair's breadth away from figuring it out!"

Su Enxi sat cross-legged on the bed like a clever Ikkyu, waving her fingers in circles on either side of her head, looking like she was deep in thought. But the next moment, the doorbell rang abruptly.

"Aaaaah, who interrupted my spellcasting?"

Su Enxi got out of bed barefoot and opened the door with a grim expression.

Lily, standing outside the door, was taken aback by Su Enxi's furious expression, wondering if she had done something to upset her boss again.

"What is it?" Su Enxi asked irritably.

"The banquet is in two hours," Lily said softly, her head bowed. "I came to ask if you'd like to dress up?"

Oh right, there's this other thing too.
