Dragon Raja: Oh no! Lu Mingfei has been diagnosed with depression!

Perhaps because it was her usual bedtime, Erii had been in low spirits ever since she came out of the theater. She looked like she was about to fall asleep, and she was walking unsteadily, but she still stubbornly clung to Lu Mingfei's clothes.

"Want to sleep?"

Lu Mingfei asked.

Erii shook her head, forcing herself to stay awake as she held up the notebook:

"I want to stay outside a little longer."

Genjiro should have discovered his sister's running away from home by now. Although Lu Mingfei didn't leave any clues on the road, he didn't hide his whereabouts either. If Genjiro really cares about Erii, he will eventually find them.

This was also an opportunity for him to test the strength of the Snake Clan, to judge the power of this mixed-race family that had taken root in Japan based on the time it took them to find him.

Lu Mingfei led Erii to a nearby park, where they sat side by side on a wooden bench, gazing at the shimmering light on the distant lake, which resembled swarms of silver butterflies flitting across the horizon. Erii exclaimed in amazement.

I had a great day.

Erii wrote in her notebook, "Can you pick me up next time I skip home?"

She tilted her head back, her beautiful scarlet eyes revealing an irresistible anticipation. Actually, she hadn't done anything particularly interesting today. She had just eaten a few desserts, watched a boring Kabuki performance at the theater, and then wandered around aimlessly. It was late at night, and she couldn't see anything worthwhile.

But the girl was still very happy. She didn't care what she did that day. In her eyes, the world should be colorful and vibrant. Everything she saw was something she had never seen before, so she was satisfied even if she was just wandering around with you.

"You don't need to run away from home next time. I'll have a good talk with Genji tomorrow, and he won't lock you in the house anymore after that."

Lu Mingfei said.

Erii nodded, turned her head to continue looking into the distance, but suddenly remembered something, hugged the takeout bag at one end of the bench to her chest, and carefully opened the package.

That was a dessert given to them by the store manager. It was actually just a four-inch cream cake, but it looked so exquisite because of the pastry chef's superb skills.

"Aren't you going to save it to eat at home?"

Lu Mingfei was somewhat surprised, because Erii had already poured all the ice used to keep the cake warm into the lake and removed the parchment paper used to shape it. She was planning to finish the cake right there.

I want to eat with you.

Erii wrote in her notebook for Lu Mingfei to see, "This is our gift. I'm going home now, and I want to eat this gift together before I go home."

Lu Mingfei fell silent, and suddenly thought that he might as well take this girl and leave. Anyway, several hours had passed and Genji had not yet stood in front of him, and the strength of the Snake Clan was not as strong as he had imagined. He was confident enough to leave with Erii.

But he quickly dismissed the idea. In the Kamaitachi's domain, the girl's body was as fragile as a handful of snow. She would melt as soon as she was placed in the sun, without any effort. She possessed almost godlike authority, yet she did not have the physique to bear such power.

He could sense that the girl's body was being corroded by something like sulfuric acid; while she marveled at the beauty of the outside world, she was also enduring the pain that the world was inflicting on her.

Lu Mingfei had to admit that what the psychologist had said was right: violence was not omnipotent. But now he had nothing but violence, so he could only sit here and wait for Yuan Zhisheng to come looking for him.

"So it's that hard."

Lu Mingfei looked into her eyes, which reflected the moonlight. A strand of deep red hair fell from her ear and was blown by the wind onto Lu Mingfei's face.

"It's not hard work, I'm very happy to be with you."

Erii shook her head, looked into his eyes, and smiled silently. Her smile was cool and aloof, yet it shone with a brilliance like a galaxy.

They shared the cake, sipping the cream. Occasionally, a passerby on the sidewalk caught a glimpse of this scene and felt their heart melt. Not wanting to disturb them, they walked past carefully and quickly, not daring to make a sound. Only when they were far away did they feel relieved and sigh, "Youth is truly wonderful."

Erii fell asleep on Lu Mingfei's shoulder after finishing her cake. She was so tired. She had never walked such a long distance before and didn't want to take a taxi. She should have gone to bed much earlier, but she insisted on staying up until she finished eating the cake with Lu Mingfei before closing her eyes.

Perhaps she found a sense of security in Lu Mingfei; the girl slept soundly, quietly and obediently, like a real princess.

A sharp screech of brakes came from outside; it was clearly a speeding car that had braked suddenly at the park entrance. The car hadn't stalled, and the engine was roaring like a beast.

Half a minute later, the roar of the behemoth grew louder as it approached. Without even standing outside, one could guess that this was a convoy that had undergone violent modifications. In the darkness, the menacing red taillights resembled a swarm of blood-red insects rushing towards them.

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the quiet park. It was a group of men wearing exaggerated leather jackets, with brightly dyed hair and their arms covered with ghostly tattoos.

These people were all members of a certain gang, carrying stainless steel machetes or steel pipes. They stood not far from the bench, and the information brought back by Kamaitachi indicated that more people were on their way.

Lu Mingfei stared at them coldly, neither of them speaking.

A few minutes later, the thugs parted to make way for them, and everyone looked in one direction. A burly man carrying two large katana walked from the back of the crowd to the front.

"Is everyone here?"

Before the man could speak, Lu Mingfei asked expressionlessly.

The leading man was stunned for a moment, and a vein throbbed on his forehead. This was a blatant humiliation. Did this kid still not understand the current situation?

There were hundreds of armed men standing behind him. Was this guy blind?

"Looks like everyone's here, but you'll be disturbing her."

But Lu Mingfei didn't give them a chance to speak at all, his gaze sweeping over these gang members:

"So, kneel down, and then die."

The thugs were amused, but before their laughter could even escape their throats, a silent command was given to them.

Almost simultaneously, everyone knelt on the ground. The dense cracking of bones sounded like waves rising and falling in the night. The thugs couldn't understand what was happening. They felt intense pain in their chests or necks. In an instant, everyone was like a water-filled balloon disintegrating under immense pressure, slowly cracking along the gaps, and a huge amount of blood gushed out, like a bouquet of crimson flowers suddenly blooming.

No thug could escape this death sentence; even those who hid in their cars, ready to drive away at any moment, died silently under this death order.

Word of Power: Kamaitachi.

Words of Power: Royal Authority.

Words of Power: Judgment.

All of this happened in a matter of seconds. Erii was still fast asleep when Lu Mingfei waved his hand to dispel the thick smell of blood that filled the air.
