Dragon Raja: Starting with Summoning Erii

Page 248

Erii suddenly called out softly.

Xia Mu looked up and saw that the girl's face was flushed and she was looking down at him.

"you…"

Her eyes flickered as she looked at the soup bowl, "Would you still marry me...?"

Xia Mu's heart skipped a beat. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

"Isn't this what you've been waiting for? Why don't you answer?" Jormungandr's voice suddenly came.

Xia Mu was somewhat stunned.

Why does this guy look so expectant...?

“We’re not talking about me marrying you, we’re talking about me marrying you…” he said to Erii, rubbing his forehead in embarrassment.

"Marry me..."

Erii stared at him blankly, her mouth agape, completely dumbfounded.

Why don't you just give her a straight answer?

Jormungandr saw through everything.

Xia Mu remained silent.

"Mumu, if Xia Mi were still here, what would you do?" Erii's blush suddenly faded, and she lowered her head, her two small hands clenched tightly together.

“I will ask for her opinion,” Xia Mu said softly.

“I agree,” Jormungandr said.

Xia Mu was both amused and exasperated.

"Mu...Mumu?" Erii noticed his strange expression and seemed at a loss. "But how should I ask now?"

"I'm waiting, she will appear."

Xia Mu gently stroked her long hair. "Don't think too much. Your task is to make yourself happy and be cheerful every day."

"She didn't..."

Erii covered her mouth, and crystal-like tears slid down her cheeks. "Will she come back?"

"It's not easy to explain. She did lose her life, but she has a chance to be reborn." Xia Mu gently wiped her face with a tissue. "So, don't dwell on those things anymore. Leave everything to me, okay?"

"not good!"

Erii looked up, her eyes watery yet filled with determination. "Mumu, I've thought about so many things. I wasn't worthy of your kindness before..."

She stared into his eyes and said firmly, "The relationship between you and me is unequal. No one can keep giving without receiving anything in return. I think maybe I should do something."

"Who says you're not worth it?"

"Who said I need to get anything?"

Xia Mu reached out and stroked her delicate face, saying earnestly, "Having you is my greatest gain. As for everything else, it's not worth mentioning."

Erii's eyes were so soft they seemed to melt.

"cough."

After watching the drama for so long, Uesugi Kotsushi finally got goosebumps and couldn't watch anymore. "What you're doing, whether it's marrying into the family or relying on your own abilities, has nothing to do with me..."

He crossed his arms and said, "As for you talking about finding Angers, I might as well just drag them to get a paternity test."

"I don't recommend you do that. If you just understand the current situation of the Snake Clan and the Fierce Demon Clan, you won't act rashly. Even if you were once a supreme leader in the underworld, it's difficult to change the current situation immediately. On the contrary, you'll only make things more complicated..."

Xia Mu shrugged. "I didn't come here just to tell you this. I have a purpose."

He looked at Uesugi Kotsugu with a sincere expression. "Believe me, only I have the full picture and know how to ensure everyone's survival. If what you want is not a temporary reunion followed by chaos, but a bright future, then you have to listen to me."

Uesugi Kotsugu's old face twitched: "You've come to recruit me as your subordinate?"

“Hmm,” Xia Mu said, resting his chin on his hand, “If I could get the assistance of the previous generation’s underworld supreme, I can’t imagine anyone in the underworld who could stop me.”

Rebirth in the Great Era of Surfing Waves

"He speaks unclearly, and to this day I still don't understand who I'm related to by blood!"

Uesugi Kotsugu slammed his fist on the table, his anger erupting, "You think I'd believe your nonsense?!"

"You can choose not to believe me. Go check it out yourself. You can find some clues, but it might not end as a comedy. It could be a tragedy." Xia Mu casually crossed his legs.

Uesugi was struck on the spot by his words, and stared at him with a gloomy face: "What do you want me to do?"

Xia Mu laughed heartily: "You don't need to do anything normally, but you'll be needed to turn the tide in crucial moments!"

Chapter 270 I'm sorry, Xia Mi?

"Come on, I'll take you home."

Erii habitually got up with Natsuki and walked beside him, and the two left the ramen van together.

Uesugi stood under the dim streetlights, silently watching their figures grow smaller and smaller until they disappeared into the darkness, remaining motionless for a long, long time.

He stubbornly preserved this old street and sold ramen here for over sixty years because the world he remembered was only this big. If he lost it, he would truly have nothing left.

Like Angers, he was also an old man abandoned by the times, except that Angers lived on hatred, while he eked out a living on the last bit of his homeland.

But now, a spark has ignited in his dying world.

Natsuki illuminated his world, just as he illuminated Sakurai Kogure, Sakurai Akira, and those two hundred-plus caged birds.

In the future, more will be lit up until this oppressive world of mixed races is completely illuminated.

“Mumu…”

Erii shifted her body slightly, turning her small hand away to avoid Natsuki's attempt to hold her hand.

"I...I'm not used to it..." she said softly.

Xia Mu, holding an umbrella, walked side by side with her through the puddles, his face a mixture of amusement and exasperation: "Are you playing hard to get?"

"Huh? No, no, that's not it..."

Erii lowered her head, her face slightly flushed, "I just feel... I feel sorry for Natsumi..."

"Is she an idiot?!"

Before Xia Mu could say anything, Jormungandr shouted, "Weren't you and her a couple all along? Xia Mi is the third party!"

Natsuki's forehead was covered in ellipses.

What exactly is going on?

Erii, who should have been provoking Jormungandr, felt she had stolen Natsumi's things, while Jormungandr, who should have been jealous, actually hoped Erii would get together with him quickly...

Xia Mu's head was full of slurry.

"So you're not planning on being intimate with me anymore?"

He held up the umbrella and moved closer to Erii, almost touching her, but she immediately jumped to the side.

No, don't...

Erii hesitated, then gave him a red back of her head. "I'll wait for Natsumi's answer..."

"Silly child..."

Xia Mu shook his head helplessly, "Feelings are all selfish, how can you be like this?"

Seeing that he wasn't making any moves, Erii moved closer to him and whispered, "I don't understand. I just felt that Natsumi was better than me when I was thinking about these things. She gave so much and gave you everything. I..."

She clutched her heart in her small hands, "I can't compare to her..."

Xia Mu sighed: "Feelings are never something that can be measured on a scale. I don't think we need to think like that."

"Then... Mumu, I'll ask you the same question again."

The two walked for a long time without realizing it, until Genjiro's Hummer appeared ahead.

Erii stopped and turned to look at Natsuki's face: "When Natsumi appears in front of you again, will you choose me or her?"

Natsuki opened his mouth to speak, but Erii turned her back on him, stepped out of the black umbrella, and walked towards the Hummer.

"I don't want to know the answer, because I already have the answer in my heart."

Genji picked up Erii, glanced at Natsuki who was standing there motionless, and stepped on the gas and drove away.

Xia Mu watched the taillights gradually disappear and shook his head helplessly.

"Is this what growing up is like...?"

“I don’t understand what this idiot is thinking!” Jormungandr was clearly jumping up and down in his mind.

Xia Mu smiled and said, "It's not hard to understand. Love is just so complicated. I understand her and I will wait for her... Of course, I have my own ideas and I won't let her continue like this. I will still make my move."

"Hmph, what a strange human being!"

Jormungandr said arrogantly.

"Jormungandr."

Xia Mu suddenly called her softly, the gentleness of her voice causing Jormungandr's spiritual cocoon to tremble.

"what?"

Have you noticed that you're becoming more and more like a human being?

"You think too much!"

Xia Mu chuckled softly, her voice still gentle: "What do you want?"

Jormungandr was taken aback: "What?"

“I want to know what you want,” Xia Mu repeated.

“I want to… why should I tell you?” Jormungandr said proudly.

Xia Mu suppressed a laugh and maintained a gentle tone: "Because I want to help you fulfill your wish."
