Dragon Raja: Starting with Summoning Erii

Xia Mu sat down beside her, reached out to pull down her skirt, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Erii turned around, curling up into a small ball beside him, snuggling close: "I was thinking about the future, about what's to come, about you..."

"miss me?"

Xia Mu let her lean gently against him, and the fresh, warm fragrance wafted over him, making him unable to help but take a deep breath.

"Yes, I think if I can stay with Mumu forever, it wouldn't matter even if I die soon," she said softly.

Xia Mu shuddered, a wave of discomfort washing over him and engulfing him.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You won't die..."

His voice was somewhat sore.

Erii remained silent, turning her head away from him, and after a long while, she finally spoke:

"They say I'll only live to be 23 at most..."

Chapter 121 You're So Annoying

Kassel College, 3E exam site.

"Oh my god! I can't like men!"

Lu Mingfei fell into darkness.

He jumped up from his chair, covered in cold sweat, as if he had broken through a dark membrane and returned to reality.

Nono was standing in front of him, slapping his head hard, making him feel dizzy.

Only the two of them remained in the empty examination room.

"Impressive! You can sleep so soundly during the 3E exam," Nono said. "Are you a pig?"

"Born in the Year of the Sheep... The exam is over?" Lu Mingfei rubbed his eyes.

"It's almost lunchtime, and the 3E exam only has three hours allotted." Nono took his answer sheet.

Lu Mingfei sat in his seat, recalling the little boy who had just appeared, and sighed, though he didn't know why he sighed.

"What's wrong with you?" Nono asked curiously.

“Sigh… Oh, it’s nothing. By the way, why hasn’t Xia Mu enrolled yet? Doesn’t he need to take the 3E exam?” Lu Mingfei asked.

Nono rolled her eyes at him: "He's different. He's a direct admission student without taking the exam, directly into the A-level. He's gone on a mission with Professor Mans now, and will probably come back with the Executive Department."

"Wow, that's amazing..."

Lu Mingfei slumped on the table with his head hanging low: "He should be ranked S-class. How could a piece of trash like me deserve it?"

"Don't worry, you'll be demoted if you fail the exam."

Nono held his answer sheet, revealing a mischievous smile.

Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes. Although he hadn't developed "spiritual vision," he had Fingel, an eighth-grade repeater, helping him cheat...

"What kind of mission are they on?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Nono said nonchalantly, "It's a secret mission from the Executive Department."

"Could it be..." Lu Mingfei exclaimed in surprise.

Nono said casually, "It's related to dragons. They must have found some clues."

late at night.

The tugboat “Moniah” trembled in the storm on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

This was a rare autumn downpour, with torrential rain and winds reaching level five.

All the other ships had docked to seek shelter from the storm, and only the xenon lights of the Moniach flickered in the rain on the restless water.

Professor Mans stood at the cockpit window.

Raindrops slammed against the windshield and then burst open.

The wind was howling, and the boat was rocking.

Mans stood steadily, smoking a cigar, waiting for news.

The faint sound of a baby crying could be heard from the rear cabin. Mans frowned. "What's wrong with the little one? He's been crying a lot today. Wasn't he happy spending time with Xia Mu the past few days?"

Selma sat upright in front of the monitor without looking up: "Because that woman is back. Professor, you know how awful she is. She's nothing like a mother."

"Nono is really unlucky to have such a foster mother."

Mans shook his head and walked towards the rear cabin: "You continue to monitor the location of the diving bell. Notify me when you descend to a depth of 400 meters, and I will decide whether to allow them to exit the diving bell to continue their investigation."

"Yes."

Selma nodded in agreement.

Submersibles are not so easy to make. Time is tight, and the equipment department finally delivered a diving bell, the kind that can self-destruct.

Mans looked up at the dark sky outside, remained silent for a while, and then muttered to himself.

"This torrential rain reminds me of the icy seas of Greenland ten years ago... Every time I get close to these things, I have a feeling that disaster is about to strike."

He went to the rear cabin; the front cabin was quiet.

Everyone had undergone rigorous training at the Kassel College, staring at their screens, operating swiftly and silently, making it impossible to tell that they were the same people who had partied the night before.

"Honey, what's wrong? Why have you been crying all day?"

Mans picked the baby up from the cradle and gently stroked him.

Beside the cradle, the woman who had left her adopted son with Xia Mu for almost a month returned, looking indifferent and not caring whether the child was crying or laughing.

"I guess I sensed that thing down there," she said casually.

Mans asked, somewhat puzzled, "Since you know what that is, why did you come back? Aren't you afraid?"

The woman smiled indifferently: "Who told me to be his mother?"

Mans smirked, not believing her utter nonsense at all.

"I'll take this baby with me first."

The woman watched Mans's figure disappear into the distance, her gaze still indifferent.

"It's rare to find a mixed-race person that 'Key' likes."

The dark glint in her eyes remained unseen by anyone.

"Natsuki! Natsuki!"

Mans kicked the door open, his loud voice echoing in the room: "Hurry up and comfort this baby, he's been crying nonstop tonight... uh..."

Before he could even put his foot down, his gaze fell upon the scene inside, causing him to pause for a moment: "What...are you doing?"

Xia Mu was leaning against the headboard, shirtless, with a helpless expression on his face.

Erii stared with her big, bright eyes, her slender white fingers stroking his chest.

If it weren't for the girl's pure gaze, Mans's thoughts would probably have drifted all the way to the highway.

"cough."

Xia Mu quickly pulled her half-undone pajamas back up, while holding Erii's hand down, "I'm just giving her a lesson on physiology, don't misunderstand."

Mans glanced at them both: "What physiological knowledge? The male anatomy?"

Suddenly, he felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason. He turned his head and saw Erii staring at him with her wine-red eyes.

笔趣阁

There was a murderous aura...

"I lost to her the night before last, and I'm a man of my word."

Natsuki reached out and squeezed Erii's wrist: "Let's play again next time."

Erii looked away, her eyelashes fluttering slightly. "Oh..."

"I won't refuse you next time either." Xia Mu tapped her forehead helplessly.

"Oh!"

The girl raised her small face, and uttered the same word, but with a completely different tone.

"for you."

Mans shoved the "key" into Xia Mu's arms.

"Wow?"

The little guy seemed to have had a tap turned off; his crying stopped instantly, and he buried his head in Xia Mu's arms, a comfortable smile on his face.

"How come this thing is..."

Mans was speechless.

"You guys come with me too. Although the diving operation doesn't require your participation, you can provide backup, and more importantly, take care of 'the key'..."

He reached out and pinched the little guy's soft cheek: "We might need him tonight."

Natsuki and Erii changed into their beautiful school uniforms and followed Mans outside.

As Xia Mu passed the woman in the rear cabin, he and she exchanged a strange glance before brushing past each other.

"Hey…"

The woman suddenly said very rudely, "Don't be fooled by his current closeness to you. With such high-purity dragon blood, he might turn on you at any time."

Xia Mu frowned and turned around: "After all, you are his adoptive mother."

But after saying that, the woman didn't intend to pay any more attention to him and just stared at the roaring waves outside the window.

Xia Mu glanced at her one last time, then turned away.

"Mumu, can I freeze her?"

Erii suddenly stopped in her tracks.

The woman turned to look at her: "What did you say?"
