Dragon Raja: The Divine Man Lu Mingfei

When Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi left Nibelungen, it was already dark outside. The last rays of the setting sun lingered in the west, and the orange-red light fell on the two who had just emerged from the darkness, giving their outlines a blurry, warm edge, as if they were draped in a cloak of twilight.

"Senior brother, are you really leaving? Anyway, you don't have anything urgent to do back home, so why don't you stay a couple more days and keep me company?" Xia Mi tugged at Lu Mingfei's sleeve and shook it, her eyes downcast, looking reluctant to part.

"Come on, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You're not just reluctant, you're lusting after my body, you're shameless! Besides, if you can't bear to part with me, why don't you come with me? As for Fenrir, he can move around freely now, are you worried that he can't take care of himself?" Lu Mingfei said, pulling his sleeve directly from Xia Mi's hand.

"That's not the reason... It's mainly because I'm still in the preparatory class at Kassel College, so it's not convenient for me to leave with you." Xia Mi scratched her cheek, stammering a bit.

"Are you addicted to pretending to be human? Why do you have time to attend preparatory classes? Why don't you come with me and properly fulfill the duties of a cup!" Lu Mingfei said with exasperation.

"Senior brother, could you please stop using the word 'cup' all the time? It sounds so vulgar." Xia Mi rolled her eyes in disdain and deliberately took two steps to the side, creating some distance between herself and Lu Mingfei.

"Steamed buns? You're not convinced?" Xia Mi failed to escape Lu Mingfei, and was instead quickly caught up by him. Lu Mingfei pressed Xia Mi's head down with a forceful, skull-crushing grip, and continued to ask, "Tell me! You insist on staying in the Kassel preparatory class, is there some other conspiracy?"

"No, no! Senior brother, you've misunderstood me! I'm a law-abiding citizen!" Xia Mi quickly raised her hands to beg for forgiveness. "The main problem is that without going through the preparatory course, I can't legitimately enter Kassel. If I can't enter Kassel, how can I serve my most respected senior brother all the time!"

Lu Mingfei was very satisfied with this answer, and nodded with his eyes closed, saying, "Good! You pass!"

Xia Mi breathed a sigh of relief, then heard Lu Mingfei continue, "You want to go to Kassel? It's easy. Just say the word. At worst, I can have you come with me as my study buddy. As a distinguished international student, it's normal to have a study buddy when studying abroad, right?"

"Senior, do you have such a high status in Kassel? You can get people enrolled with just a word?" Xia Mi asked, somewhat surprised.

"Nonsense, who do you think I am? The condition for my enrollment was that they transfer ownership of Kassel College to me. In other words, I am already the owner of Kassel College. Whatever the owner wants to do is just a matter of a word, right?" Lu Mingfei said with some pride. After all, no one dislikes the feeling of showing off in front of others.

"Wow, senior brother, you're amazing!" Xia Mi immediately showered him with praise, her eyes sparkling, perfectly satisfying his desire to show off. Then, she changed the subject and asked curiously, "But why does it have to be as a study buddy? Can't I just enroll as a regular student through the proper process? Are there any special benefits to being your study buddy?"

"Of course there are! There are tons of benefits!" Lu Mingfei said seriously, counting on his fingers. "As my personal study partner, you'll be mine from now on. Besides helping me tidy up my dorm, bring me meals, and take care of my daily life, you'll also have to help me solve some special problems. Of course, without my permission, you can't have your own independent thoughts. You have to stay by my side every step of the way and serve me well."

As Xia Mi listened, her face gradually darkened: "You call this a benefit? This isn't a study buddy, it's clearly a personal slave, senior brother! Aren't you going too far?!"

"Haha, I'm just kidding," Lu Mingfei said with a smile, waving his hand. "Considering how hard you've worked these past two days, I'll definitely arrange for you to enroll as a normal student. Don't worry."

"That's more like it." Xia Mi smiled, her eyes crinkling, and hailed a passing taxi. She opened the car door, gestured with her chin towards Lu Mingfei, and said, "Let's go, senior brother. I've been mooching off you in the city these past few days, so this ride back is on me!"

"Ha, you really thought those few days were free food and lodging? Haven't you heard the saying—" Lu Mingfei deliberately dragged out the word, "Every gift of fate has already had a price tag attached in secret."

"Ah, I know that!" Xia Mi's eyes lit up immediately, and she proudly interrupted, "That's a classic line from Austrian writer Stefan Zweig's biography, 'Marie Antoinette'! I've memorized it!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Lu Mingfei retorted immediately, as if his tail had been stepped on, his entire body on high alert. "That line clearly comes from the legendary masterpiece of the future, 'Lord of Mysteries'! That Zweig you're talking about is nothing but a thief who traveled through time to plagiarize sentences from our Cthulhu-themed web novels!"

Xia Mi was silenced by this anti-heroic statement. She shut her mouth and stopped speaking, staring intently at Lu Mingfei with the eyes of someone looking at a madman.

Only after getting into the car did she whisper closer to Lu Mingfei and ask, "Senior, how about we stop by the hospital later and get a checkup at the neurology department? I think if your brain continues to deteriorate like this, things might not look good..."

"You little brat, Xia Mi! You dare to indirectly call me crazy, huh?!" Lu Mingfei grabbed the back of her neck and deliberately shook it fiercely. "Go back to the hotel and get yourself cleaned up. I'll show you what I'm made of!"

Seeing Lu Mingfei's attitude, Xia Mi shook her head helplessly: What could she do? There was nothing she could do but obey Lu Mingfei.

......

Back at the hotel, Lu Mingfei told Xia Mi to go back to her own room, while he went back to the presidential suite with Jiu De Mai and Su Enxi. Xia Mi was a little reluctant, but under Lu Mingfei's iron fist, she could only obediently comply.

When he pushed open the suite door, Su Enxi was curled up on the sofa, grinning foolishly at her tablet, but Jiu De Mai was nowhere to be seen. Hearing the noise, Su Enxi looked up and greeted Lu Mingfei, then buried herself in her drama again.

Lu Mingfei sat down on the sofa and asked about the whereabouts of Jiu De Mai. Su Enxi nodded and pointed towards the bathroom, and Lu Mingfei immediately understood.

He then explained to Su Enxi his plan to return to Binhai in two days, which elicited a question from Su Enxi: "Why? Boss, I think it's fine here, and you don't know anyone there anymore. Isn't it the same wherever you are?"

Lu Mingfei slapped his forehead, realizing that he had probably been playing too many games and subconsciously treating his birthplace as his hometown. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed as Su Enxi had said: Nuonuo and Su Xiaoqiang were not in Binhai, so there seemed to be no need to go back.

After figuring this out, Lu Mingfei immediately decided not to return to Binhai, but to spend his vacation in the capital and then go directly to take over Kassel College!

"By the way, boss, did you know? Today is the day of the college entrance examination." Su Enxi suddenly brought up a topic.

"Really? But that's none of my business. My peers are still working hard for the college entrance exam, while I've already become the principal of Kassel College. It's just... you know what I mean?" Lu Mingfei quoted Jiahao's classic line, which made Su Enxi roll her eyes.

Just then, a soft sound came from the bathroom, and Mai Shude came out wearing a short, off-white bathrobe that reached her thighs.

Her hair, still damp from her recent shower, with a few stray strands clinging to her neck, made her already fair skin glow with a rosy sheen. The loose collar of her bathrobe revealed her delicate collarbone, and the short cut ended just above her thighs, exposing her long, straight legs, which shimmered under the hotel lights. She radiated a languid and alluring charm, and even the air seemed to be filled with a faint fragrance.

When she saw Lu Mingfei sitting on the sofa, she winked at him, as if hinting at something. Lu Mingfei understood immediately, got up without making a sound, and quietly went into the bedroom, leaving Su Enxi alone in the living room, grinning foolishly at her tablet.

Lu Mingfei didn't care about exams; all he knew was that he would have a very comfortable summer vacation...
