Dragon Raja: Starting with Summoning Erii

“Speaking of mental hospitals, let’s go to the mental hospital in Suzhou today. There’s someone there worth meeting,” Xia Mu suddenly said.

Xia Mi naturally had no objections.

Nono glanced at him: "I haven't seen any of your retainers reporting to you. When did you get so much information?"

Xia Mu remained unfazed: "You won't see their reports at night anyway."

"Hmph, you're lying."

Nono turned her head away.

Xia Mu didn't argue, he just shrugged.

Half an hour later, they met Chu Zihang's biological mother at the mental hospital.

The ward was quiet, filled with the scent of lavender, presumably from the lavender incense used before bedtime to help people sleep.

The rain pattered on the windowsill, and the air felt slightly damp.

The woman lay on the bed, covered with a thin blanket, arms and legs outstretched, sleeping sprawled out.

The three of them tiptoed to the bedside and examined the woman named Su Xiaoyan.

You can tell how heartless this woman is just by looking at her sleeping posture. There's a half-eaten chocolate on her pillow, and all sorts of dolls piled up on her bedside table. Her sleeping position is that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

The sound of rain filled the air, but the ward was quiet.

At this moment, the woman on the bed opened her eyes and looked at the man and two women beside the bed with some curiosity.

It's clear they have a good relationship. Although the red-haired girl isn't as close as the other two, there's no sense of distance between them either.

"Who are you?" she asked softly.

The carefree woman wasn't flustered at all when she saw three strangers, and she didn't even think about pressing the alarm.

Xia Mu sat down on the chair beside her bed and smiled at him: "Auntie, we are your son's classmates. We just happened to be passing by and wanted to drop by to see you."

"My son?"

Su Xiaoyan looked at him with a puzzled expression, then reached out and touched her belly, saying with a mix of happiness and anticipation, "My son isn't even born yet, you're talking nonsense."

The rain outside was getting heavier, and the raindrops were pattering against the glass.

Xia Mu's voice, accompanied by thunder and rain, and the flashes of lightning shining on his face, seemed to pierce through everything: "Really not?"

He said softly, very softly, "Are you sure... you really don't have a son named... Chu Zihang?"

"Of course not... um..."

Su Xiaoyan was somewhat dazed when suddenly, glistening tears welled up in her eyes, sliding down her beautiful face and shining like shooting stars in the light from the window.

"Auntie, why are you crying?" Xia Mu raised an eyebrow. "Did something happen to you?"

Su Xiaoyan slowly shook her head, tears streaming down her face: "I don't know... I don't want to hear it anymore, please leave."

She glanced away, gently stroking her lower abdomen. "My child hasn't been born yet, but he will be born, he will return to his mother..."

Why use the word "back"? Have you ever lost anything?

Xia Mu's expression, illuminated by the thunder and lightning, was as terrifying as a demon. "Or is it that you know he died when he was fifteen, but you still can't... believe it?"

"what--"

The woman suddenly let out a piercing scream, startling the nurse on duty.

But the nurse was knocked down by Sakurai Kogure before she could get close to the ward.

"Your son is not dead. What you remember is false, which is why you can't accept it, which is why you've gone crazy, which is why you think you're pregnant, which is why you're here...in a mental hospital!"

Sun and Moon Splendor

Xia Mu ignored the woman's frantic screams and simply said slowly, "I can save your son."

Su Xiaoyan's manic state suddenly stopped. In just a few seconds, she transformed from a woman who seemed to be turning into a vengeful ghost back into the carefree woman she once was.

"Do you think my child will come back?" she asked, tears streaming down her face.

Xia Mu nodded: "If you believe me."

"Do you believe me? Will my child come back?" Su Xiaoyan asked again.

Xia Mu looked intently into her eyes and nodded.

"I believe you."

Tears streamed down her face, as if they were about to soak her hospital gown.

“I need your blood, is that alright?” Xia Mu suddenly asked.

Nono looked at him, puzzled.

Xia Mi chuckled softly, "Auntie, this is to save your son."

Su Xiaoyan looked at them and nodded without much hesitation: "Okay."

Xia Mu clapped his hands.

Sakurai Kogure came in carrying a small box and professionally took out tools to draw blood from Su Xiaoyan, stopping only when Su Xiaoyan was almost fainting.

“Auntie, please rest here. I will bring Chu Zihang to see you in a few days.” Xia Mu stood up.

"it is good…"

Su Xiaoyan was so weak she was about to faint, but she still kept her eyes open and looked at him, "I believe you..."

"Have a glass of warm milk and get some rest."

Xia Mu took the warmed milk from Sakurai Akira and placed it on the bedside table. "This is what Chu's father and Chu Zihang have been preparing for you for many years, isn't it?"

Su Xiaoyan sat up against the headboard, took small sips of milk, and tears streamed down her face.

The world she had imagined shattered, but the boy before her gave her new hope…

She chose to believe him.

Chapter 358 Lu Mingfei's Decision

Several people walked out of the mental hospital.

Sakurai Kogure handed the suitcase to Natsuki, then dutifully stepped back and stood with Sakurai Akira.

"Xia Mu, since you foresaw Chu Zihang's accident, do you know what he will become?"

Xia Mi held Xia Mu's arm with Su Xi's hands and walked forward.

Xia Mu did not resist, because if he did, Xia Mi might choose to lie on top of him.

"What will it become?" he repeated.

Xia Mi looked at him meaningfully: "He will become Odin's representative. Do you understand what the gods under Odin are?"

"Could it be someone like my senior brother whose fate was altered?" Xia Mu asked.

“Yes, and no, some things don’t need to change their fate,” Xia Mi thought for a moment and said to him, “I want to remind you that he has put on Odin’s mask, and you are no match for him now.”

Xia Mu nodded: "I guessed it."

"Then why did you still..."

Before Xia Mi could finish speaking, she suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure standing next to the Bentley, lost in thought.

"Could it be...him?"

Lu Mingfei finally noticed them approaching, looked up, and said with a weary expression, "You're finally out..."

"Wow, you've become like this after just one night? Were those three girls that thirsty?"

Nono was "terrified".

Lu Mingfei's face fell. "N-no, it's not..."

"Have you made your decision?" Xia Mu walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

Lu Mingfei looked somewhat surprised: "Do you know what happened to me?"

“I guess,” Xia Mu smiled warmly, “you are deciding whether or not to accept this kind of life, right? If you are willing to stay, maybe you really can do it, but you will have to give up your senior brother.”

"Yes... they admire their senior brother, they like their senior brother, and they are actually willing to spend their lives with their senior brother..."

Lu Mingfei lowered his head and slumped his shoulders. "What am I anyway? If I really accept this kind of life, I feel like a thief who stole what rightfully belonged to my senior brother."

Xia Mu laughed: "Since you've made a decision, don't think about it anymore. Get ready and rescue your senior brother!"

Lu Mingfei suddenly looked up: "What do we need to do?"

For him, there are few people and things worth cherishing.

But it is precisely because there are so few of them that they are precious and worth sacrificing everything to protect.

“I’ve got what I needed,” Xia Mu said, shaking the box in his hand. “Now we’re leaving this city.”

"Why?" Nono asked curiously, "Can't we do it here?"

Xia Mu sighed, "Because this is that guy's home turf, who knows where he'll suddenly appear from..."

The group got into the car.

"The weather is getting worse."

Xia Mi stared blankly out the car window.

For some reason, after getting on the bus, she changed from her lively demeanor and suddenly became quiet.

The wind and rain were howling, but it wasn't very noticeable inside the car.

With a mixed-race person like Akira Sakurai driving, there's no need to worry about safety; his reaction speed is far superior to that of ordinary people.

"what happened?"

Xia Mu leaned closer to Xia Mi and asked.

"Xia Mu, when will I have my own body again?" Xia Mi said softly.

Xia Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he finally gently reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, letting her slowly lean against him.
