In another world, Lu Mingfei is learning card making.

"In the name of Lu Mingfei, I summon!"

The tall woman on the card appeared before Lu Mingfei, accompanied by a shimmering magic circle.

Even though he had already seen her face on the card, seeing her in person was still quite a shock to Lu Mingfei: between her brows and eyes lingered an air of nobility, as if she were a dragon among men, born to be an emperor—

"Where am I?" As soon as she landed, Talulah raised her hand to the rapier at her waist and looked around warily. It was a basement, but it wasn't dark. Several light sources shone down, making it almost as bright as day.

Standing before her were two young children, around ten years old, whose racial characteristics were indistinguishable.

"Who are you people?"

Lu Mingfei didn't answer her question, but instead began to examine her attire. The upper body was indeed a military uniform, but the lower body was clad in a short skirt—Lu Mingfei didn't want to be too impolite, but the skirt truly covered nothing.

As for keeping the legs warm, this was achieved by wearing a pair of extra-long stockings that went up to halfway up the thigh.

As for why she was dressed like that, Lu Mingfei could guess a thing or two: because this person had quite the characteristics of a 'dragon', with dragon horns extending to both sides of her head and a long, winding dragon tail behind her.

If you wear a long skirt, the dragon's tail will not be able to move freely, so it would be better to wear a short skirt.

"Yes, I'm a Planeswalker, and she's my magical spirit." Lu Mingfei stroked his chin, thinking for a moment. "And you are too."

……

After I explained to her what a "magical spirit" was, Talulah calmed down and stopped pressing her sword as if she were about to draw it and kill someone at any moment, unlike when she first arrived.

"If that's the case... then can I still go back to Terra?"

"Perhaps...we could give it a try?" Lu Mingfei was taken aback—

This was the first time he had ever heard such a request. The magical spirits he had created before, such as Oista, Pot Spirit, and Jing Shu, knew from birth that they were magical spirits and had no intention of returning to their original world—in fact, they might not even have an "original world."

Miyamoto Musashi might be an exception, but Lu Mingfei researched his life recently and found that the so-called "Book of Five Rings" was actually a masterpiece he wrote at the end of his life, and he himself looked quite old...

—Perhaps only his soul was taken when it was made?

Lu Mingfei didn't know, but he didn't press Miyamoto Musashi about what his world was like before he died, or whether there were any so-called "dragons," in order to determine whether he came from this Earth.

Anyway, he had no intention of returning home. He just wanted to find a master to fight, and he would only use a knife to slash. Perhaps in his view, as long as he could 'slash', he was alive.

Now it seems that Talulah is the first one who wants to go back—

"Oh, right, Tianyi, you can try it too." Lu Mingfei turned to look at Luo Tianyi, "I have something here..."

After explaining the function of the Mirror of Eternity, Lu Mingfei gestured for Talulah and Luo Tianyi to go inside and take a look.

Is this thing actually useful? Lu Mingfei thinks it is. He only needs to learn one profession from that "Destiny Alaya Consciousness" to use this connection to travel to the corresponding world. The two of them, who originally came from the corresponding world, can naturally use this world-traveling device to travel back.

"Oh, by the way, could you please let me know when you come back?" Lu Mingfei thought for a moment and then specifically instructed, "If the cards you refine in the future have this problem again, I can say 'there has been a precedent' to reassure them."

After exchanging a glance, Talulah, feeling it was her duty to take the risk, stepped forward and entered the swirling vortex in mid-air. Moments later, she stepped out again, a look of delight on her face:

"That's definitely possible!"

The landing was rather awkward. Black Serpent had already discovered that she could escape his grasp. Shortly after landing, she alerted the night patrol hounds—a team of Pero (dogs) and Liboli (hawks) were searching for her. Talulah had no way to escape and could only return here again.

Talulah didn't believe that if Kosichrie were caught again, he would still put on that pretentious act of being a loving father and daughter.

She wasn't ready yet. Although she had already used Originium fragments to become an Infected, there was still time to practice between being infected and mastering Originium Arts.

Until then, let's spend some more time with this 'Planets Walker'. At least until I'm capable of killing Koschl before going back...

"Is it really possible to return to my own world?" Luo Tianyi's eyes lit up. "How did you do that?"

"Hmm...it's a very strange feeling." Talulah found a chair and sat down, hugging her dragon tail to her knees. "After entering the portal, you can feel a connection drawing you in, and if you follow it, you can enter your own world."

"You can also break free from this feeling and follow your own heart to other places, which should allow you to reach other worlds."

Lu Mingfei listened intently. Other magical spirits, upon returning, would typically only mention their experiences in other worlds, never this feeling of traversing worlds—

Luo Tianyi didn't care about anything else and immediately stepped forward into the world portal, leaving only the words "I will bring you a gift when I come back, Lu Mingfei" floating in the air.

Lu Mingfei sighed helplessly and turned to Talulah—

"Now that you've returned to your world, why come back here in the first place?"

Before Talulah could answer, Lu Mingfei stroked his chin and continued, "Because of that so-called 'immortal black serpent,' isn't it?"

Talulah visibly tensed up. While she wouldn't jump off her chair, she gripped her knife tightly, ready to draw it at any moment: "How do you know that name?"

"Hmm... because they can directly see your characteristics?"

It seems that compared to that story, it has indeed deviated from the original—at least in my story, although the protagonist will definitely slay the evil spirit in the end, at least at the beginning, the evil spirit will still act like a proper elder…

Lu Mingfei stroked his chin and recounted his story again. After finishing, he shrugged and asked, "How different is this from your experience?"

"It's quite different." Talulah relaxed, letting the sword rest on its hilt. "The places about my father mentioned earlier are not much different. The city you mentioned where he lived is called Lungmen, which is now one of the world's leading metropolises."

"The country to which Longmen belongs is called Yan Kingdom. Although its ruler is indeed a dragon, it does not mean that every city is ruled by a dragon. In fact, they adopt the 'civil service examination' system. As long as you can pass the exam, you can go out to serve as an official and govern a city."

"Of course I wouldn't have any good relationship with that 'immortal black serpent'... I was already old enough to remember things when I was kidnapped, and that's why I won't believe him no matter what he does."

"I only know hatred."
