Dragon Raja: The Divine Man Lu Mingfei

Finally, after being repeatedly and earnestly persuaded by Su Enxi, Jiu Demai, and Xia Mi, Lu Mingfei reluctantly gave up his crazy idea of ​​bringing the Teyvat continent to the real world ahead of schedule.

The four of them strolled leisurely through the scenic area, chatting, laughing, and joking around, until the sun was setting before finally leaving the park.

As soon as they reached the door, Xia Mi stepped forward and suggested that since Lu Mingfei and his group had come all the way to the capital, they should at least try some local delicacies to make their trip worthwhile. She knew the area well and would lead the way. Lu Mingfei was in a good mood at the time and agreed without much thought. He followed Xia Mi through several alleys and soon arrived at a snack street hidden in the old city.

When they reached the street corner, Xia Mi said to Lu Mingfei, "Senior brother, I'm going to buy some local specialties. You stay here and don't move." As soon as she finished speaking, she skipped and hopped into the food street.

Hearing Xia Mi's words, Lu Mingfei felt he vaguely recognized them somewhere, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't recall exactly where, so he simply gave up trying. Xia Mi, however, seeing Lu Mingfei's lack of reaction, felt a surge of secret joy at her successful revenge—"You, Lu Mingfei, actually forced this Dragon King to address you with the honorific title reserved for the Black King yesterday; now it's my turn, Jormungandr, to seek justice!"

A few minutes later, Xia Mi returned, her forehead beaded with sweat, holding a paper cup in each hand. The cups contained a murky, dark gray-green liquid that had a thick texture when shaken.

"Senior brother, come here quickly, here, try this, it's authentic Beijing flavor!" Xia Mi handed one of the cups to Lu Mingfei, a sly glint in her eyes, but it quickly returned to its clear state.

Lu Mingfei subconsciously took half a step back, his brows furrowed. Looking at the green liquid that exuded an ominous aura, he felt uneasy all over. He looked at Xia Mi suspiciously: "What is this? You're not trying to use this to harm me because of what happened yesterday, are you? Let me tell you, I'm immune to all poisons now. If you really have that kind of idea, I suggest you give up as soon as possible."

"How could that be, Senior Brother!" Xia Mi waved his hand and argued, "This is a local specialty that has been passed down for hundreds of years. The elderly love it. It's incredibly delicious and you can't miss it! If you don't like how it looks, just think of it as a variation of soy milk. They're both made from beans, so they're pretty much the same."

Lu Mingfei was skeptical, but he still reached out and took the suspicious green liquid. As soon as he brought the cup to his nose, a strong smell of sour beans hit him, and his brows furrowed even more.

At this moment, Su Enxi, who was standing to the side, also started to stir things up. She pushed up her glasses and said with a smile, "Boss, I've really heard of this. It's called douzhi (fermented mung bean juice). It's definitely a local specialty. As the old saying goes, since we're already here, it would be a shame not to try it."

"Really? Okay, you can try it first." Lu Mingfei smiled insincerely and handed the cup of soy milk in his hand to Su Enxi.

Now it was Su Enxi's turn to be in a dilemma. She stood there, unsure whether to go forward or backward, raising her hand and then lowering it again, hesitating for a long time before daring not to accept it. Just then, Xia Mi spoke up again: "No need, senior brother, there's another cup here. I specially prepared it for the two sisters." As she spoke, she handed the remaining cup in her hand to Su Enxi.

Upon hearing the word "sister," Su Enxi and Jiu De Mai, who was standing next to her, instantly turned pale, their foreheads covered in black lines. Women are creatures who care a lot about age, and no one would feel comfortable being called "sister" by an old man who is actually thousands of years older than them.

However, due to Xia Mi's status as the Queen of the Earth and Mountains, the two of them swallowed their dissatisfaction and dared not refute her. Lu Mingfei wasn't afraid of Xia Mi, but they were. Now that Lu Mingfei was here, Xia Mi could still keep a low profile, but what if they accidentally provoked this little female dragon to explode? What if she secretly retaliated when Lu Mingfei wasn't around? Who could withstand the Dragon King's temper?

Su Enxi could only force a bitter smile that looked worse than crying as she accepted the soy milk Xia Mi offered. After taking it, she immediately turned to look at Jiu De Mai, hoping that Jiu De Mai would step in to help her out of the predicament. However, Jiu De Mai turned her head directly to look at the locust tree by the roadside, deliberately pretending not to see Su Enxi's resentful gaze. She even leisurely whistled, acting as if it were none of her business.

"Sister Su, please try this! I searched halfway down the street and looked for three well-established shops to find this authentic local specialty! You won't find this stall if you're not a local!" Xia Mi held up a cup and presented it to Su Enxi, winking and urging her with a smile.

Lu Mingfei stood aside, quite interested, intending to observe Su Enxi's reaction before deciding whether to try this so-called "special delicacy" himself.

Being locked onto by both of their gazes, Su Enxi felt a chill run down her spine. She was clearly trapped in a desperate situation, surrounded by enemies, with no one to turn to for help. Meanwhile, the only person who could help her, Jiu De Mai, was staring intently at the bus stop sign on the roadside, clearly feigning blindness.

Now that things have come to this, there's no going back. Su Enxi gritted her teeth and thought, "It's just a mouthful of soy milk, right? I'll risk it all!"

She took a deep breath, her trembling fingertips gripping the rim of the cup, and slowly brought it to her lips, taking a small sip with her eyes closed. Then, a sour, rancid taste burst in her mouth, her pupils widened instantly, the color drained from her face, her features contorted, and she looked as if she were wearing a mask of pain.

She didn't even have time to speak, frantically looking around until her eyes landed on the gray trash can on the street corner. As if seeing a savior, she rushed over and spat at the trash can opening, as if she wanted to stick her whole tongue out.

After vomiting, she took out the bottled water she carried with her, unscrewed the cap and poured it into her mouth. She rinsed her mouth with the water and vomited again and again, just to completely get rid of the strange taste left in her mouth.

Lu Mingfei was quite surprised to see Su Enxi in such agony. He glanced down at the sloshing grayish-green liquid in his hand and secretly clicked his tongue: he hadn't expected this stuff to be so powerful. But this only aroused his curiosity, and he wanted to taste what it was like.

He raised his hand, slowly bringing the cup to his lips. This scene elicited different reactions from the three people beside him: Su Enxi, who had just rinsed her mouth, widened her eyes in horror; Xia Mi smiled and cheered inwardly, "Finally, they've fallen for it!"; only Jiu De Mai remained indifferent, turning her head to look at the street scene and enjoy the evening breeze, clearly not wanting to get involved in this conflict.

Just as the rim of the cup was about to touch Lu Mingfei's lips, he suddenly stopped, turned to look at Xia Mi calmly, and said in a tone that was calm but not argumentative: "Xia Mi, you bought this, so you should drink it first, right?" He handed her the cup, his words were a question of discussion, and his tone left her no room for refusal.

"Ah, this..." Xia Mi's excitement froze. She wanted to refuse, but when she met Lu Mingfei's ambiguous smile, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. She could only slump her shoulders, reluctantly take the cup, frown and look miserable, and take a small sip with her eyes closed, just like Su Enxi.

The next second, the sour smell overwhelmed her, and she couldn't hold back for even half a second. She turned around and rushed to the trash can, spitting into it repeatedly, taking out a bottle of mineral water and rinsing her mouth repeatedly, completely replicating Su Enxi's previous actions.

Just as Lu Mingfei was about to make a few sarcastic remarks to her, a sharp and mean voice suddenly interrupted, filled with a strong sense of superiority, and sarcastically cursed, "AUV, you stinking country bumpkin from out of town, coming here to beg for food!"
