"No ..."

Xia Mu turned the "key" around and showed it to Erii, taking the opportunity to start a physical science lesson: "Didn't you read that physiology book? It's a boy, you can compare his body parts with a girl's."

"Oh!"

Erii stared wide-eyed: "That little thing in the book, it's so small, much smaller than you, Mumu!"

Xia Mu: "..."

Wow!

The "key" was unwilling to be shown to her, and its little body shrank closer to Xia Mu, moving little by little.

"Mumu, he doesn't like me."

Erii turned her gaze back to Natsuki's profile, and her eyes filled Natsuki with heartache.

"He's just scared."

Xia Mu freed one hand, dried it on the towel, and gently patted her head.

Erii reached out and enveloped his right hand, lowering her eyes: "Yes, I understand... Just like everyone in the family, they're all afraid of me, even my brother sometimes..."

"It will be alright, everything will be alright," Xia Mu said softly.

Erii's long eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked up at him: "Mumu, are you afraid of me too?"

"No," Xia Mu said.

A glint of light flashed in Erii's eyes: "Why?"

She stared into his eyes: "I know that when I use my power, my emotions change, and I feel like there's nothing in the world that I can't kill..."

“Because you won’t kill me, I know you won’t kill me,” Xia Mu clenched her soft little hand and looked at her. “Your world is small, and you cherish everything you have. And you know, I am the only person you have…”

"I…"

Erii's eyes widened slightly, her gaze filled with disbelief: "I...possess...you...?"

Xia Mu gave her a comforting smile: "Yes, you have me, now, in the future, and forever."

Chapter 147 I Refuse

Wordless songs naturally have no lyrics.

When the intro started, the men and women on the dance floor were also confused, unsure whether to continue the dance they had just been doing.

Under the lamplight, Natsuki's profile was exquisitely beautiful, and Erii's graceful figure was exceptionally lovely.

Zero, standing in the center of the dance floor, glanced at Xia Mu and suddenly changed his dance style.

She was originally from there, so she naturally knew what the dance to this song should be like, but this still made her unhappy.

Originally, she was supposed to be the queen on stage, but with this song, she could only play a supporting role.

With her demonstration and the natural learning ability of mixed-race people, others quickly started to jump up and down, their attempts somewhat off-key, but not bad.

Lu Mingfei, on the other hand, is a puppet in Zero's hands.

Over the years, from Zero being struck by "Rhine" and then sealed away by Lu Lincheng, to the birth of Lu Mingfei, Zero has watched Lu Mingfei grow up. I wonder if he felt a sense of nurturing...

As Xia Mu's pitch gradually soared towards the clouds, outer space, and the Milky Way, he still had the mind to think about these random things.

If he hadn't become a hybrid, with his bloodline power growing stronger and his body constantly improving amidst the spray of dragon flames, he wouldn't have been able to control this dolphin sound.

The true dolphin sound, an ultra-high pitch that sent chills down everyone's spine, soaring all the way to 1245Hz.

"what--"

During the highest note, Zero completed her planned 3600-degree spin until the very end of the song.

"If it's any higher, will humans be unable to hear the sound?" someone asked, touching the tingling back of their head.

No one answered him, because they were all stunned by the high-pitched electric shock.

“Oh, Mom and Dad, look at God!” Fingel murmured.

On the stage, Ling had not yet stood up, and it was time for Lu Mingfei to return the greeting.

"My dear minister, you may rise and disobey..." Lu Mingfei uttered this awful phrase in his nervousness, a phrase that even he himself found utterly ridiculous.

"How could I be such a person?" he thought to himself, looking around before realizing that no one else had heard him. They were all clapping loudly, the applause drowning out his rubbish, and their eyes were all focused on Xia Mu's perfect profile.

"This year's freshmen are really interesting," Nono heard Caesar whisper.

He held a glass of brandy on the rocks, watching Natsuki carry Erii off the piano, then bow slightly and gracefully exit.

"Now, please welcome Student Union President Caesar to give a speech." A minister tapped the microphone on the second-floor platform.

Caesar handed the wine glass to the waiter, went up the spiral staircase to the second floor, stood in front of the microphone, and scanned everyone below, like an emperor inspecting an army.

“I was very disappointed when I first arrived at this academy,” Caesar paused, “because there were just too many people!”

"The true elite will never be the majority!"

The opening scene was so cold it gave me goosebumps, and Xia Mu rubbed the goosebumps on his arms.

Then Caesar smiled faintly, "Thank you all for coming. It's a pleasure to see the most elite group of people gathered here. Our guests of the Gattuso family," Caesar held up one finger, "can only be the elite!"

After a moment of silence, someone clapped loudly, and everyone followed suit, their eyes shining with excitement.

Caesar gestured for everyone to be quiet: "My view has always been that Kassel College is a miracle, bearing a great mission, so it should be voiced by the best of the best in the simplest and most powerful way."

"Who should make such a sound?" he asked coldly, looking down at them.

"Caesar!" Caesar's underlings in the student council suddenly shouted.

"No, not me, but...we!" Caesar raised his voice, "We are the best!"

The doubled applause almost shattered Xia Mu's eardrums.

He was stunned.

This person is suffering from severe chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)...

"This academy, this mission, must ultimately be upheld by the most outstanding individuals!" Caesar pointed to the sky. "Now, allow me, in my capacity as the current student council president, to welcome you all to the ranks of the madmen!"

"Can you please stop being so arrogant?" Xia Mu sighed, "Don't you know that being too arrogant will get you trampled on?"

"Xia Mu, Lu Mingfei."

Caesar's voice came from above.

"S-class freshmen, please come up and stand with me."

He pointed at the two men and sneered, "You can also choose to refuse and become my opponents."

Lu Ming was paralyzed.

"I refuse."

Xia Mu stood up, his expression gentle and without a trace of embarrassment.

"I will join the Lionheart Society."

Dead silence.

Just then, Caesar's cell phone rang. He paused for a moment, then reached into his pocket.

In the lobby, a cacophony of cell phone ringtones filled the air—musical ringtones, buzzing, the dinging of old-fashioned telephones, and notifications from unknown numbers. Dozens, even hundreds, of different ringtones rang out simultaneously, making one feel as if they were in a drum band that had suddenly begun to play.

Few people have ever heard so many cell phones ringing at the same time; it's quite alarming.

After a moment of stunned silence, all the guests started reaching for their phones. The girls hid their phones in different places—some tucked them into their stockings, some in the folds of their tutus, and some placed them on their dance partners. The sight of hundreds of people frantically searching for their phones was quite comical and broke the tense atmosphere.

Caesar turned on his phone and listened to only one sentence before his expression suddenly changed. He gestured for everyone to be quiet, then held up his phone and turned on speakerphone.

"...Please walk to the window, look towards the school gate, and hold your breath. When guests arrive, the host should be prepared." The voice on the phone was a deep, altered one.

Everyone's expression changed, because they were all hearing the same voice on their phones.

The guests flocked to the windows. Looking out from the Amber Pavilion through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the iron-carved gate of the school was closed and illuminated by a cold light.

The Fairy Tree Romance

The deafening roar caused people to lose their hearing for a moment. In the blinding light of the fire, the iron gate twisted and was thrown into the air by the shockwave of the explosion. It rose to a height of twenty meters before falling back down and crashing heavily to the ground.

"Waaah—"

The alarm blared throughout the campus, and all the buildings suddenly lit up in the night, shattering the tranquil darkness.

Red alert status is activated instantly.

Bright beams of light and the roar of motorcycles surged into the campus as the intruder, dressed in black combat gear, sped in on a raging Black Widow motorcycle.

The guns in their hands gleamed menacingly.

"Bang bang bang..."

Upon entering the campus, they immediately dispersed and simultaneously opened fire with precision, destroying all the surveillance cameras they passed.

"The troublemakers are here..."

Natsuki reached out and pulled Erii closer to him, near her small ear, his expression cold: "Erii, be careful tonight, and don't get too involved."

The girl nodded obediently, grabbed his hand and shook it: "Okay."

Xia Mu then pulled out his Desert Eagle.

Chapter 148 A Promise

"Red Alert! Red Alert! Dragon Invasion! Dragon Invasion! Freshmen, remain in your dorms. Students who have completed the Battlefield Survival course, immediately collect your weapons, load them with Friga ammunition, and do not use live ammunition." Norma's voice echoed throughout the campus via loudspeakers. "Seal off all entrances. We have the right to fire on anyone whose identity is unknown."

The students, who had just been dancing gracefully in their formal attire, immediately adopted the disciplined bearing of trained soldiers and surged out in an orderly fashion. The maintenance crew parked their vehicles outside each building, opened the cargo compartments, and found neatly arranged automatic rifles on the weapon racks inside.

In front of the Amber Pavilion, the sound of guns being loaded could be heard repeatedly.

On a starless night, if you stand on the corner tower of Kassel College, you can watch the lights of those motorcycles scatter like fireflies to every corner of the campus before going out.

People poured out of the buildings, controlling all passageways and entrances, and the quiet campus suddenly transformed into a formidable military fortress.

"Happy birthday."

Nuonuo dragged Lu Mingfei straight to Caesar's Bugatti Veyron. As they passed Xia Mu, they unexpectedly heard his voice.
