Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

"Lately, I feel like I'm becoming more and more like a nanny. I have to help with all sorts of little things. I have to help pick up girls, book the venue, and even handle their documents... It's like when a little white rabbit gets married, he wants me to help him get his marriage certificate."

"What? Are you planning to marry Liu Miaomiao or someone else in his place?" Jiu De Mai teased.

“No, I want to replace the woman’s photo with yours.” Su Enxi said with a mischievous smile.

"I think you're asking for trouble again!"

Mai Shude spread her arms and pretended to pinch Su Enxi's ticklish spot. Su Enxi quickly hid behind Lily, grabbing Lily's shoulders to shield her while begging Mai Shude for mercy. Mai Shude, in her capacity as the leader of the Ninja Sect, ordered Lily to get out of the way.

Lily was caught between the two and tossed around, but in the end, Su Enxi was successfully caught by Jiude Mai and pressed down on the sun chair, where she was tickled for a long time until she was breathless from laughing. Only then did Mai stop, satisfied.

Su Enxi, panting softly, sat in the chair, her face flushed as she adjusted her bra strap: "Mai, you've really become too sensitive to jokes lately. You get all worked up over just a few words."

Jiu Demai sneered and made a grabbing motion in mid-air with both hands towards Su Enxi. Su Enxi immediately covered her mouth and fell silent, shaking her head desperately.

Mai Shude didn't bother arguing with Su Enxi any longer. She patted Su Enxi's shoulder and said, "Then please help me get my passport sorted out. I'll go pack my things first... I also need to find two new knives. I left the two old ones in Nibelungen."

As Mai Shude spoke, she walked down the steps beside the pool, picking up her clothes that she had carelessly thrown on the ground as she went. Boots, stockings, bodysuit…

By the time she reached the pool entrance, she had reverted to her light and form-fitting female ninja outfit, with only her wet, black hair still draped behind her and a hair tie between her teeth.

……

Lu Mingfei was still asleep when the doorbell rang.

Lu Mingfei hasn't been playing games much lately. He used to play StarCraft every day when he was bored, but ever since he got closer to Liu Miaomiao and the others, he spends his evenings texting in bed after showering…

Before I got together with Liu Miaomiao, I used to chat with both Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang on QQ every day. Now that I'm with Liu Miaomiao, I send fewer messages to Xiaotiannv, but I have to add another daily task of having long phone conversations with Liu Miaomiao.

There's a saying that esports doesn't need women, and it seems to be true, because women only affect an esports player's APM (Actions Per Minute). Even a veteran StarCraft player like Lu Mingfei, who can easily defeat many top players with a red dot sight, one day found himself unable to play StarCraft because he was busy texting and talking on the phone with his girlfriend.

Moreover, Chen Wenwen has recently started sending him messages from time to time, discussing Borges and Duras with him... Lu Mingfei looked at the avatar of the girl wearing a baseball cap who was jumping up and down, and countered her move by returning to her the knowledge that Chen Wenwen had instilled in him in his previous life, without any changes.

In short, dating is just a way to kill time. Two young lovers in the throes of passion often find themselves chatting on QQ for too long, only to realize it's already one or two in the morning. Then, Liu Miaomiao reluctantly sends Lu Mingfei a "mwah, goodnight." Lu Mingfei's heart flutters at the sound of that "mwah."

Fortunately, at this point in time, Steve Jobs hadn't yet released the world-changing iPhone 4, and QQ didn't have the voice messaging function yet... Just thinking about Liu Miaomiao's sweet and shy voice kissing him made Lu Mingfei feel his qi flowing downwards.

So, Lu Mingfei, who was staying up late, originally planned to sleep until he naturally woke up, but was woken up early in the morning by a series of "ding-ding-ding" doorbell rings.

Lu Mingfei yawned mournfully as he walked out of the room, just in time to see Xia Mi, dressed in light clothing, also push open the door, rubbing her sleepy eyes. Clearly, Xia Mi had just been woken up by the urgent doorbell ringing.

"Who is it?"

Lu Mingfei opened the door with a grumbling, and upon seeing the person who came in, he was immediately jolted awake.

"You, how did you get here?" Lu Mingfei murmured, his mouth agape.

Mai looked into the room and met Xia Mi's gaze across the room.

Mai Shude had always harbored doubts about the identity of the girl who suddenly appeared in Nibelungen and rescued her with Lu Mingfei.

However, since the boss was comfortable letting this girl stay by Lu Mingfei's side, it meant that the girl shouldn't pose any harm to Lu Mingfei, at least not for the time being... so she didn't ask any more questions.

As a ninja lurking in the shadows, she knew perfectly well that some things were better left unsaid. When her boss wanted her to know, he would. Less trouble, more good.

"Can't I come? We were roommates who lived under the same roof, after all. Shouldn't this place also be considered my second home?"

Mai Shude withdrew her gaze from Xia Mi and looked at Lu Mingfei. Wearing high-heeled boots, her height reached 180cm, almost level with Lu Mingfei.

Mai Shude's beautiful face, which exuded a queen-like composure, suddenly blossomed into a charming and adorable smile. She blinked gently and said teasingly, "I've been holding a grudge about you refusing my invitation to dance at the ball last time."

Lu Mingfei knew that this powerful, queen-like woman liked to tease him. In his previous life, she had pretended to be a stranger to him time and time again, and then took away his first kiss (face) and first kiss (lips).

Even though he knew the other party was deliberately flirting, when he saw this aloof woman suddenly smile at him like a little girl, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart.

Lu Mingfei coughed lightly to cover up his guilty conscience.

"It's not that you can't come... but what brings you here today?"

"Nothing much, I'm just leaving this city soon. We were roommates for a few days, so I came to say goodbye and return something." Mai Shude shrugged.

"Return something?" Lu Mingfei was taken aback. "Return what? Did you accidentally take something with you when you left last time?"

Jiude Mai reached behind her and pulled out... a kitchen knife.

Lu Mingfei was stunned, then realized what he meant and said, "Damn it, I was wondering where the cleaver was. Last time I bought a piece of pork ribs, I couldn't find the cleaver. In the end, I had to use a kitchen knife to chop the bone, and I almost broke the blade!"

Lu Mingfei took the kitchen knife from Jiu Demai and was about to turn around and put it back in the kitchen when Jiu Demai stopped him.

"Wait a minute," Mai said. "There's more."

"besides?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei turned around to see what else Jiu Demai could pull out of her body, only to see Jiu Demai suddenly reach out and grab his collar with perfect precision.

Before Lu Mingfei could react, he saw Jiu De Mai close her eyes, her pretty face suddenly coming closer into his field of vision.

It wasn't until the sharp pain of his teeth hitting his lips, and the smooth, bouncy texture of jelly inside his mouth, that Lu Mingfei belatedly realized what was happening. Only when he felt the subtle fragrance emanating from Mai Shuu's nose did he truly understand.

I got kissed by this pretty girl again!

Xia Mi stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Compared to the domineering kiss last time, this kiss, although also a gentle, puffing kiss, was much milder. It didn't feel like it was trying to suck Lu Mingfei's soul away. It felt more like a kiss between lovers.

However, the aftershocks of that slap were still reverberating in Lu Mingfei's head.

While Lu Mingfei was still pondering whether he should dodge or block the next slap from Jiu De Mai, Jiu De Mai suddenly released Lu Mingfei's collar and pushed him forward a step.

"Now it's really over." Mai Shude pursed her lips, her pretty face slightly flushed, as if she was short of breath from the kiss and felt a little oxygen-deprived.

The slap he had imagined didn't come. Lu Mingfei was still savoring the memory of that kiss.

"You, what is this..." Lu Mingfei touched his mouth and took a step back, stammering.

“Last time you rescued me from the Nibelungen. I returned your kiss and then slapped you. Later I realized that the kiss was to repay your life-saving grace, and the slap shouldn’t have been added.”

Mai Shude stood with her hands on her hips, her face regaining its usual nonchalant expression, her queenly aura emanating from her. "So that slap last time canceled out that kiss. This time, I'm here to repay you with the kiss that was meant to save your life."

Damn it, you should have said so earlier! Always launching these surprise attacks, never giving her a chance to refuse! Don't you know that doing this to a married man is immoral?!

But why does this feel like setting a flag for the future... like a soldier about to go to war saying goodbye to someone they like...?

Although Lu Mingfei didn't think that this long-legged beauty would like him.

The main point is that, despite the few interactions between the two being quite ambiguous, Lu Mingfei felt that he and this beautiful female ninja were actually not very familiar with each other.

Even the rescue of her from Nibelungen was purely accidental.

With a flick of her slender hand, Jiu Demai pulled a phone from Lu Mingfei's pocket. Before Lu Mingfei could react, she had already quickly pressed a few buttons, then stuffed it back into his pocket, giving him a foxy smile:

"Don't worry, Brother Lu, this won't be the last time we meet. There will be many more opportunities to meet in the future."

Damn, how does this guy know what I'm thinking?

While Lu Mingfei was still in a daze, he saw Jiu De Mai gently beckon to him, then lightly push the door with her slender fingers, and turn away as the door gradually closed.

Arriving suddenly, leaving suddenly. Just like a ninja who comes and goes without a trace.

Lu Mingfei turned around, holding the kitchen knife, and suddenly saw Xia Mi's innocent and cheerful smiling face.

Lu Mingfei was taken aback. Although Xia Mi was smiling brightly and innocently, his back was unconsciously sweating with nervousness.

It's like being caught cheating by your partner.

Damn it, Liu Miaomiao is clearly my girlfriend! Why am I afraid of Xia Mi? Who does she think she is!

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a surge of courage and straightened his back with a sense of self-righteousness, only to see Xia Mi raise her phone, turning the screen towards him. The screen showed the scene of him kissing Shude Mai just now, and he could even vaguely see their tongues intertwined.

"Senior brother~" Xia Mi smiled brightly, like a gentle spring breeze, "You don't want Liu Miaomiao to know that you kissed another woman, do you?"

……

Chapter 195 The Little Heavenly Maiden Has Disappeared?

Upon seeing the "photo" of himself and Mai Shude on Xia Mi's phone, Lu Mingfei panicked instantly.

"Why are you taking these kinds of photos?"

Moreover, the dialogue sounds weird. It's like saying you should watch less Japanese anime when you have nothing to do.

"Of course it's for self-defense. If you dare to bully me again, I'll send this photo to Liu Miaomiao." Xia Mi shook her phone and snorted.

Lu Mingfei pursed his lips, thinking to himself that it was as if he often bullied her. It was clearly his own home, and Xia Mi not only ate and wore his own food, but also acted like a little princess, always teasing him about Miao Miao and the Little Fairy.

"Speaking of which, I have some errands to run tonight and won't be eating at home. I'll leave you some money so you can grab something to eat."

Mentioning Liu Miaomiao reminded Lu Mingfei that he was supposed to visit the little girl's parents at their house tonight.

"Go to Liu Miaomiao's house?" Xia Mi asked.

Lu Mingfei stared wide-eyed: "How do you know everything?"

"I know far more than you can imagine, senior brother."

Could it be that he sensed it through the Nibelungen mark or something? Lu Mingfei suddenly felt that the function of this mark was a bit too overpowered. What if he wanted to get intimate with Liu Miaomiao in the future? Wouldn't this guy see through his underwear?

……

However, putting the branding aside for now, the most important thing right now is obviously the Liu family banquet tonight.

Although Lu Mingfei had lived three lifetimes, this was his first time visiting his girlfriend's parents. He had absolutely no prior experience with this and was unaware of any precautions to take.

Lu Mingfei sat on the sofa with his arms crossed, deep in thought about what preparations he should make.

If it were Caesar, he would definitely start getting ready several hours in advance and prepare generous gifts. When the bride's family opens the door, Caesar would first give an elegant greeting, and then two rows of well-dressed servants standing behind him like a guard would raise the gifts in their hands and greet the bride's family in unison.

The expressionless senior apprentice wouldn't have the nouveau riche style of Caesar, who spends money like water. However, he always pays attention to etiquette, and grooming is a must. Then, he'll carefully select what he thinks are suitable gifts for the bride's parents, and with a cold, knife-like expression, he'll arrive at their door. Unsuspecting neighbors might mistake him for debt collectors…

If it were the good-for-nothing senior... he'd probably tidy himself up, wear a suit bought on sale at the mall, and present her with a bottle of red wine from one of France's five great wineries, bought from who-knows-where. With a bottle of fake wine and a silver tongue that could wash a lump of coal clean, he could chatter his future in-laws until they were dizzy, and on his way out, he could even sneak two sausages from his girlfriend's house.

After some contemplation, Lu Mingfei came to a conclusion.

Other details may vary from person to person, but grooming oneself and bringing gifts are definitely essential.

Fortunately, it hasn't been long since he attended the ball with the Little Fairy, so Lu Mingfei's hair hasn't grown very long yet, and his overall appearance is still acceptable. A little hair wax should be enough.

The question is, what gift should I buy?

The Liu family is definitely not short of money, and I don't even know what the little girl's parents like.

Unable to come up with a solution on his own, Lu Mingfei decided to call Liu Miaomiao to ask what kind of gift would be appropriate to bring to her home.

"A gift?" Liu Miaomiao's voice came through the phone. "No need to bring any gifts, it's just a regular family dinner. We're still students, there's no need to follow so many rules. Besides, my parents don't need anything."

“No way,” Lu Mingfei said. “This is my first time visiting my girlfriend’s home, so I have to show my respect and courtesy.”
