Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

“Yes,” Lu Mingfei said, “For the next period of time, I will be going to a very far place to handle some very dangerous matters…”

"Something dangerous?" Liu Miaomiao was taken aback. "Is it something related to 'your world'?"

"Ah."

Liu Miaomiao suddenly understood why Lu Mingfei had kissed her so forcefully just now; it turned out to be a kiss of impending separation.

"Will you come back?" Liu Miaomiao asked.

“Definitely.” Lu Mingfei nodded.

"It's good that you'll be back." Liu Miaomiao smiled slightly, then said in a strange tone, "But remember to come back soon, okay? Don't keep me waiting too long, don't wait until I'm old and not pretty anymore before you come back."

Hearing Liu Miaomiao's answer, Lu Mingfei felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

"It won't take that long," Lu Mingfei said with a smile, reaching out to pat Liu Miaomiao's head. "It should be at most a month or two."

"Ah."

“And…” Lu Mingfei lowered his eyes and hesitated for a moment before saying, “I don’t want to hide it from you… this matter is also related to Su Xiaoqiang.”

“With Qiangqiang…”

Upon hearing Lu Mingfei mention Su Xiaoqiang's name, Liu Miaomiao was stunned. After a moment of silence, she said, "Yes, I understand."

"You agree to let me go?" Lu Mingfei couldn't believe that Liu Miaomiao had accepted so readily.

"To be honest... I don't really agree." Liu Miaomiao looked away and pouted. "But even if I don't agree, you'll still go, right? Qiangqiang will definitely encounter some danger, just like I did that time, right? And then you'll have to protect her."

Liu Miaomiao took a deep breath and lowered her head. "Although no girl would want her boyfriend to protect other girls, Qiangqiang is our good friend. And since you've already been honest with me... I have to support you."

From the moment Lu Mingfei decided to reveal everything to Liu Miaomiao, he had already prepared himself mentally for all sorts of possibilities. Liu Miaomiao might agree with his actions, or she might dislike him, hate him, slap him, or even break up with him—he could accept any of it…

But to my surprise, Liu Miaomiao agreed so readily.

"But you have to promise me one thing."

Liu Miaomiao suddenly raised her head, biting her lip, her bright and beautiful eyes meeting Lu Mingfei's gaze.

"Wha, what's the matter?"

Lu Mingfei thought Liu Miaomiao would say something like forbidding him from having any intimate behavior with Su Xiaoqiang, and he was prepared to make a firm and solemn promise. Unexpectedly, Liu Miaomiao suddenly stood on tiptoe, closed her eyes, and gently kissed his lips.

"You and Qiangqiang both have to come back safe and sound," Liu Miaomiao said softly, looking at him.

Looking into Liu Miaomiao's eyes, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a lump in his throat. Liu Miaomiao's understanding and kindness far exceeded his expectations.

In her past life, after Zhao Menghua dumped Liu Miaomiao, Xiao Tiannv commented that Liu Miaomiao was actually quite stupid. All she could do was play the piano; she didn't understand anything else, which is why she was easily pursued by scumbags.

Looking back now, it wasn't that Liu Miaomiao was foolish, but rather that she was naive. She was willing to give her whole heart and soul, trusting those she wanted to trust. Any boy who hurt such a good girl would be committing a heinous crime.

"Yes, I promise you." Lu Mingfei lowered his head and returned the kiss.

Having said everything he needed to say, Lu Mingfei was ready to let Liu Miaomiao go back, after all, she had been out for quite some time. If he kept her any longer, her parents wouldn't just be wondering whether to become suspicious, but would have to consider calling the police.

However, at this moment, Liu Miaomiao suddenly asked:

“Oh right, I was just about to ask you that,” Liu Miaomiao said, “What are you carrying in your pocket? It’s making me uncomfortable.”

"In your pocket?"

Lu Mingfei was taken aback, thinking that he didn't have anything in his pocket. But a few seconds later, he realized what Liu Miaomiao was talking about and quickly added:

"Ah... I bought a bottle of Gatorade on my way here, drank half of it, and forgot to take it out of my pocket."

"Oh……"

Liu Miaomiao nodded, a knowing look on her face. "I knew it was hard and uncomfortable."

Fearing Liu Miaomiao might notice something was wrong, Lu Mingfei loosened his grip. Liu Miaomiao took a few steps back, waved to Lu Mingfei, and then returned to her villa. Lu Mingfei only left after watching Liu Miaomiao enter the villa gate.

……

"I'm home?"

As soon as Lu Mingfei pushed open the door, Xia Mi poked her head out from beside the sofa like a groundhog.

"came back."

"How was the Feast at Hongmen?"

"good."

As Lu Mingfei spoke, he walked over to Xia Mi. Xia Mi moved aside to make room for him.

"Oh, right." As if remembering something, Lu Mingfei took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out ten hundred-yuan bills, thought for a moment, then added ten more, and handed them to Xia Mi.

Xia Mi looked at the money handed to her, then suddenly looked up and glared at Lu Mingfei.

"Senior brother, don't think you can take care of me with just two thousand yuan." Xia Mi shrank into the corner of the sofa, covering her non-existent chest with her hands. "Junior sister has her principles, you'll have to add more."

"You have way too much integrity; it wouldn't be worth much even if sold by weight."

Lu Mingfei looked at this creature, who resembled a female version of Finger, with a hint of helplessness: "I'm about to take a plane to Portugal, so I might not be home for a while. This money is for your living expenses."

Lu Mingfei didn't know whether dragons needed living expenses. In fact, Xia Mi had lived alone before, growing up all by herself until she was eighteen. She seemed to have some basic means of making a living that Lu Mingfei was unaware of. Without his help, Xia Mi was able to live on her own.

But thinking about it, I've gotten used to giving Xia Mi living expenses over this period of time, so I'll just treat it as raising a little sister next door. Besides, this little sister doesn't cost much, and she's quite good-looking. It's pleasing to look at her every day.

"To Portugal?"

Xia Mi frowned. "Do you want to take that bounty mission you saw on the Hunter website? Let me explain first, although you are now at the level of an A-rank hybrid in all aspects except for the lack of Word Power, that bounty mission is very complicated and not something that a mere A-rank hybrid can take on."

"Thank you for reminding me, junior sister."

Lu Mingfei shrugged. "But don't worry, I definitely won't get involved with anything related to mixed-race people. I went to Portugal because Su Xiaoqiang was going back to Portugal to pay respects to her mother, and Portugal has been quite chaotic lately. I wasn't comfortable letting her go alone, so I went with her. I'll be back once she's finished dealing with things there."

"Su Xiaoqiang?" Xia Mi's face suddenly showed a gossipy expression. "You just went to Liu Miaomiao's house to meet her parents-in-law, and now you're going to Portugal to meet your other mother-in-law? Senior brother, you really are fickle."

"Don't have such dirty thoughts! I only went along because we're friends!" Lu Mingfei pouted. "If you're in danger, I'll protect you too."

Lu Mingfei stopped abruptly as soon as he uttered those words. What nonsense was he spouting? This man before him was one of the Four Great Monarchs! The mighty King of Earth and Mountains, capable of shattering a building with a single punch and destroying a city with a single dance. Did he really need Lu Mingfei's protection?

When Xia Mi heard Lu Mingfei say those words, the smile on her face clearly froze. She just sat blankly on the sofa, staring at Lu Mingfei in front of her, seemingly lost in thought.

"I've left the money here, remember to keep it safe." Lu Mingfei placed the money on the coffee table in front of him. "I'm going back to my room to pack my luggage."

After Lu Mingfei finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to return to his room. He had only taken a couple of steps when he heard a clear "Senior Brother" voice behind him.

Lu Mingfei turned around.

"What's wrong?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi.

Xia Mi tilted her head and blinked.

"I've remembered everything you just said, senior brother."

Chapter 200 The Socially Anxious Girl on the Plane

Twenty-two hours later, a Boeing 777-300ER passenger plane that departed from Shanghai landed at Porto International Airport in Portugal.

Lu Mingfei's back ached from the flight. Although Lu Mingze had generously bought him a business class ticket, it had been a long time since he had taken a transoceanic flight of more than ten hours. This trip still left Lu Mingfei feeling uncomfortable all over.

Lu Mingfei originally planned to get through the dozen or so hours by sleeping, but after only a few hours of sleeping with an eye mask on, the red-bearded old man next to him started snoring loudly, so loudly that Lu Mingfei thought he had almost encountered a plane crash.

It wasn't until the plane was almost over Europe, and Uncle Redbeard got off the plane in Austria, that Lu Mingfei hurriedly seized the time to go back to sleep.

However, he didn't get to sleep, because after the red-bearded uncle got off the plane, another passenger boarded at the Austrian stop.

Wearing an eye mask, Lu Mingfei didn't want to pay attention and just wanted to fall asleep as soon as possible. After all, after getting off the plane, he still had to pass through three districts before reaching his final destination, Santaren.

But as the passengers next to him sat down, a pungent, unpleasant fragrance wafted over, making it impossible for Lu Mingfei to fall asleep.

To be honest, the fragrance was actually quite subtle, and you could even tell that it was a rather high-end scent. However, for Lu Mingfei, who was feeling sleepy, even the most fragrant scent was overpowering and suffocating.

Somewhat annoyed, Lu Mingfei pulled off his blindfold to see who was wearing such strong perfume. The moment he pulled off the blindfold, he saw a pair of emeralds.

No, those weren't emeralds; they were just a pair of eyes. It's just that the eyes were so green and clear that for a fleeting moment, Lu Mingfei mistook them for emeralds.

The owner of the eyes was a blonde girl dressed in classic, elegant attire. She was between a young girl and a teenage girl, wearing a white top and red skirt, brown boots with three-inch heels, and her cheeks had a slight baby fat.

Lu Mingfei even noticed a magnificent cane with an emerald inlaid at the top next to her, and wondered how she managed to bring it onto the plane.

Lu Mingfei's heart skipped a beat. The girl's beauty wasn't striking, but it was enough to make her unforgettable.

Back at Kassel College, Lu Mingfei had heard that Austria was like the Chengdu of Europe, teeming with beautiful women, each one charming and gentle. Seeing it today, he was right; any girl he met could rival the beauty of Ling Nuonuo and her friends.

Noticing Lu Mingfei's gaze, the girl didn't say anything. She simply took out a German-Portuguese dictionary from her backpack and started flipping through it, swinging her legs back and forth.

Lu Mingfei took a flight in the early morning, and it was already past midnight when he got off the plane. There were hardly any people in the airport.

After exiting the business class aisle, Lu Mingfei collected his luggage. He quickly found the taxi stand outside the airport by communicating with airport staff in English.

However, whether it's because Europeans lead a very leisurely life or because it's too early, there wasn't a single taxi at the waiting area outside the airport.

Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered the magazine "Lin Yi" that he read when he was a child. The magazine said that foreigners were very hardworking and never slept in. They could see the sun at four o'clock in the morning every day.

Lu Mingfei wanted to curse the person who wrote the article: "Damn it, who said foreigners get up at four in the morning every day? This is four in the morning! There isn't a single taxi at the airport. And what country has the sun at four in the morning?"

Lu Mingfei glanced at his phone. The airport shuttle bus wouldn't start operating until 6:30, which was still more than two hours away.

The little fairy's plane flew four hours earlier than his. He wondered where she was now, and whether she had arrived safely at her grandmother's house.

"The lifestyle in these old capitalist countries is a bit too health-conscious."

Lu Mingfei sighed and suddenly noticed a pair of leather boots standing not far in front of him. Looking up from the boots, Lu Mingfei saw a red dress, a white pleated top, and a pair of emerald-like eyes.

Lu Mingfei was taken aback. He only saw the girl's lips move slightly before she immediately closed them again. She then turned and walked away, leaning on her cane.

"What the hell is going on..." Lu Mingfei muttered as he watched the girl's departing figure.

However, the girl hadn't gone far when she came back and stopped about 5 meters away from Lu Mingfei, her toes rubbing nervously on the ground.

Looking at the girl's hesitant face, Lu Mingfei felt that he might understand what she wanted to do.

"Can I help you?" Lu Mingfei asked.

He remembered that the girl boarded the plane in Austria, where the common language should be German. He didn't know if she could understand him since he spoke English.

The girl looked at Lu Mingfei's face, pursed her lips for a long time, and then said in fluent Beijing dialect, "I can speak Chinese."

Lu Mingfei was taken aback, thinking to himself, "You can speak Chinese, yet you've been sitting here with me for so long without saying a word. And has our motherland become this powerful? You could bump into any blonde, blue-eyed foreign woman in Europe whose Mandarin is more fluent than mine."

"Oh, so how can I help you?"
