Dragon Raja: Starting with Summoning Erii

"I didn't expect a weapon to enhance your close combat ability so much. There's no need to fight for now; I need time to adapt and think." Chu Zihang sheathed Murasame.

"Let's go get something to drink."

Xia Mu put his arm around Xia Mu's shoulder again.

Chu Zihang glanced at him but did not resist.

After the fight, much of the pent-up frustration in his heart was released, and he feels much better now.

Xia Mu knew that Chu Zihang was not the type to complain; he was a brat who kept everything bottled up inside, so she could only relieve his stress physically.

"You just said that what I did wouldn't work? Why?"

The two sat down at the restaurant. Xia Mu ordered a tiramisu and a latte, while Chu Zihang only ordered a nutritional meal, the kind that replenishes energy after exercise.

"Does Senior Brother like Senior Sister Su?" Xia Mu asked instead of answering.

Chu Zihang paused, staring at the table, and remained silent.

“If you like her, then tell her. She will be very happy and will accept your personal care,” Xia Mu said. “If you don’t like her, then don’t get close. Senior sister likes you, which is why she got into trouble for you, but what she wants is not your gratitude. That will only make her feel worse.”

Chu Zihang ate without tasting anything, stuffing food into his mouth.

He eats only to replenish his energy, without any intention of enjoying the food; he's like a robot.

"What she needs is your answer..."

Xia Mu paused, "Of course, it's also possible that she'll still push you away after learning your answer..."

He scratched his head: "Sigh, this is so difficult."

"Why?" Chu Zihang was completely clueless about relationships.

Xia Mu explained, "Because if you don't like her, of course she'll push you away; if you like her... she'll still push you away."

Chu Zihang frowned: "Why is it so complicated?"

"Girls' minds are inherently complex..."

Xia Mu shrugged: "If she knew you liked her, she would be very happy, but she wouldn't choose to be with you because she's blind and has lost her strength. She wouldn't want to be a burden to you."

"drag…"

A strange light flashed in Chu Zihang's eyes.

Wasn't he himself worried about dragging others down?

"I understand." He suddenly sped up his eating.

Xia Mu blinked: "I haven't even gotten to the point yet, what have you figured out?"

"What's the main topic?" Chu Zihang asked.

"As for advice regarding your relationship," Xia Mu said.

Chu Zihang put the last bite into his mouth, cleared his plate, and looked at him sincerely, saying, "Thank you, but I know what to do now."

"Oh…"

Xia Mu slumped onto the table, feeling utterly unsatisfied.

As the last rays of the setting sun faded, Chu Zihang returned to Su Xi's hospital room.

"Zihang?"

Susie, who was leaning against the headboard in a daze, suddenly looked up, though her gaze was unfocused.

Chu Zihang was taken aback: "How did you know it was me?"

"Your footsteps..."

Susie said half a sentence, but then swallowed it back.

Chu Zihang sat down by her bedside and reached out to grab her wrist.

Susie tried to pull away, but couldn't.

“Susie,” Chu Zihang gripped tightly, but Susie couldn’t see the emotion in his eyes. He simply said in his usual calm tone, “Do you know? I don’t have long to live.”

"What?!" Susie looked up abruptly.

"I won't live much longer..."

Chu Zihang repeated the sentence in a low voice.

Would you like to hear my story?

About the darkness of the raging rain, about Dad, about Xia Mu, about… the explosion of blood.

Susie paused for a moment, then grasped Chu Zihang's hand in return.

"it is good."

Chapter 179 Relationship with Xia Mi

"Xiaomu."

A steady male voice came from the phone.

Xia Mu paused, her mind racing with various thoughts, and softly called out, "Brother."

The source is childish.

"You killed Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire?" His tone was somewhat strange.

"Mmm," Xia Mu replied softly.

Yuan Zhisheng remained silent for a long while.

What happened to keeping a low profile? What happened to not revealing too much power? What happened to staying peacefully at Kassel College after killing the next generation?

In the blink of an eye... they've killed the four monarchs, the first generation of beings, and the Dragon King?

“Come back,” he suddenly said.

Xia Mu frowned.

His current strength is not enough; he can go back when he is stronger.

"We also have intelligence sources within the academy. We know that the academy's board of directors has taken an interest in you and will be sending people to the academy to investigate immediately. Also..."

Yuan Zhisheng's voice gradually became serious: "This is the first time the Dragon King has been completely destroyed. This matter has caused a huge uproar among hybrids all over the world. Everyone is watching you."

Xia Mu paused for a moment, then said, "Oh."

Yuan Zhisheng: "..."

"The patriarch also hopes you will come back."

"Oh."

Genjiro was numb.

"Xiao Mu, what are you doing?" He couldn't help but raise his voice.

“I’m doing some…fun things,” Xia Mu said.

Yuan Zhisheng paused for a moment: "Interesting, you mean slaying dragons?"

“No, it’s freedom,” Xia Mu said softly, “the feeling of being able to decide what I want to do.”

For a moment, only their breathing could be heard on both ends of the phone.

Yuan Zhisheng clenched his fist, then slowly relaxed it.

“Kassel College is backed by the Camarilla, and the Gattuso family wields considerable influence within it. They won’t like your background because you are destined not to serve them.”

He would never have told Xia Mu these things before, but today he suddenly revealed all the inside information, even though Xia Mu himself knew it better than he did.

"So no matter what, they will find a way to seize your victory, your dragon-slaying secret..."

Genji paused for a moment, then said, “I can persuade the patriarch not to ask you to come back immediately, but if things get to the point of no return, I will personally lead a team to find you… Again, don’t use ‘judgment’!”

He wasn't worried about Xia Mu's safety; he was only worried that the mixed-race European and American people might foolishly anger Xia Mu.

What if Chicago is gone...?

That would trigger a world war!

"it is good!"

Xia Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you need my help, just give me a call, and I'll fly over as fast as I can." Yuan Zhisheng hung up the phone.

Xia Mu stared at his phone screen for a while before putting it away, but it soon vibrated again. He picked it up and saw a text message from an unknown number.

"Xia Mu, I sent you a package, but it can't be delivered to the mountain, so you'll need to pick it up yourself."

His eyes narrowed slightly as he saw the last line of text: "It's a bag of blood, 200cc."

“Xia Mi?” he sent.

"Ah."

"why?"

"Because my 200cc is at least equivalent to the entire bloodline of one S-grade bloodline, 10 A-grade, 100 B-grade, 10000 C-grade..."

Speak like a human.

"My blood can sustain you for a month, so you won't do anything strange."

Why is this happening?

“It was my fault for exposing you to the Dragon King’s blood too early. Your awakening will be accelerated, but the thirst will also be more intense,” Xia Mi replied.

Xia Mu frowned and pondered for a while, then asked, "What would happen if I didn't drink blood?"

“I’ll probably lose my mind… and drain all the mixed-race people around me dry…” Xia Mi replied.

Xia Mu felt a chill run down her spine.

What came to mind was not anything else, but the fact that Erii would never refuse him!

He shuddered; he simply couldn't imagine the scene of him sucking Erii dry.
