"Leaving aside the question of whether I am human or not, the boy who came with me, Aono Tsukine, is a real human being. How should I put it?" Lu Yi smiled noncommittally at the chairman's words, and then asked.
"As for Aono Tsukine, he is indeed human. The reason we sent him here to study is to have him act as a middleman to achieve the goal of peaceful coexistence between humans and yokai," the chairman said, looking at Lu Yi very seriously.
"Hehe, as the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Aono Tsukine should have returned to the human world by now!"
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, modern human society no longer believes in the existence of monsters. Now, suddenly arriving in a place full of monsters, it's impossible for anyone to remain completely calm," the chairman sighed, speaking with a hint of helplessness.
"Hehe... Humans, oh humans!" Lu Yi said with some emotion, "Alright, now let's talk about me. So why did you let me come to this school as well?"
"As I just mentioned, we monsters need a middleman if we want to live together with humans."
"You mean, you want me to be the middleman? But you also said, didn't you? I'm not human."
"That's right, but what does it matter whether someone is human or not, as long as they can coexist with humans?"
"Well, that makes sense. Okay, I agree to be the middleman, but I have one condition."
"What conditions?"
"You have no right to interfere in my affairs!"
"As long as you don't wipe out our demon race, you can do whatever you want!"
"Hehe, of course. Alright, I've said everything I needed to say, and I should be going now." With that, Lu Yi stood up from the sofa, then waved his right hand, and the coffee table on the table disappeared. Then, Lu Yi's figure vanished as well, but his voice echoed in the void: "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, after you finish that cup of tea, you'd better find somewhere to digest it!"
(By the way, there was an unexpected event yesterday, and we had a meeting last night. I didn't even know about it until I was about to leave work, so I didn't update yesterday's chapter. I've already updated the chapter I was supposed to update this morning, and I have another meeting tonight.)

Chapter Five: The Little Palace's Fragments
At this moment, a strange scene unfolded at Yanghai Academy. A cute girl with long pink hair kept appearing in various places on campus. Her lovely face was now filled with anxiety, and her eyes kept looking around as if searching for something. As time went by, the anxiety in the girl's eyes slowly turned into despair.
But not long after, the girl seemed to remember something, turned and ran out of the school. Soon, her figure disappeared into the distance.
Just then, Lu Yi, who had just come out of the chairman's office, saw this scene and couldn't help but wonder, "Is that Meng Xiang? What is she doing off-campus?" But despite his thoughts, Lu Yi still chased after the direction where Meng Xiang disappeared.
"ah...."
Not far from the campus, Lu Yi heard a scream, causing him to stop in his tracks. He muttered to himself, "That's Moka's voice. What happened? Could it be... Oh no, I completely forgot about that! Damn it, Komiya Suizo!" Thinking this, Lu Yi's face darkened instantly. He moved with incredible speed, almost imperceptibly, rushing towards the source of the sound.
However, when Lu Yi arrived there, he witnessed a scene that nearly drove him mad. A tall, non-human creature was attacking a cute girl with long, pink hair opposite him with its disgustingly long tongue. This girl was none other than Akashi Moka, whom Lu Yi had been searching for.
It's important to know that the powerful vampire demon Akashiya Moka, whose power was sealed, still retains a portion of her power, but this power is enough to defeat even ordinary demons, let alone a beastman, who is among the top-tier ordinary demons.
Watching Mengxiang being tortured by that disgusting monster ignited a nameless fire within Lu Yi. His anger darkened, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light. A chilling killing intent emanated from him, spreading in all directions. The target of this killing intent, the orc, was so startled that his entire body stiffened, his attack halting. He mechanically turned, meeting Lu Yi's emotionless eyes. Seeing those inhuman eyes, Komiya Suizo felt his heart nearly stop beating. What kind of eyes were those? Gone was the usual gentleness; only a coldness and ruthlessness, the very opposite of his usual demeanor, the look of someone staring at the dead.
Lu Yi ignored Komiya Suizang's terrified expression, walked past him, and headed towards Akashiya Moka. Looking at Lu Yi's unguarded back, it wasn't that Komiya Suizang didn't want to launch a sneak attack, but that he didn't dare. He had a premonition that if he attacked Lu Yi, he would be the one to die.
As if to confirm his thoughts, Lu Yi, who was halfway there, suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Komiya Suizo with his cold eyes again. Just when Komiya Suizo was about to suffocate under his gaze, Lu Yi finally looked away, said nothing, and walked towards Moka again.
"Lu..." Seeing Lu Yi walk up to her, Mengxiang was excited and wanted to say something, but she was quickly interrupted by Lu Yi.
"You should rest for a bit, leave this to me!" With that, Lu Yi helped Meng Xiang up and walked her to a large tree nearby, letting her lean against it. Lu Yi then stood up to face Xiao Gong Sui Cang, looking at Xiao Gong Sui Cang who was still standing there stiffly in the distance, not yet recovered from the shock he had just experienced. Lu Yi slowly said, "This is your true form, the beastman, isn't it!"
"Yes...yes!" With those words, Komiya Suizo finally came to his senses, swallowed hard, and said in a trembling voice.
"An extra should have the awareness of an extra!" After saying that, Lu Yi's figure disappeared and reappeared standing in front of Komiya Suizo. His right hand was already on Komiya Suizo's head, grabbing his hair. Then, his right hand suddenly pressed down, making intimate contact with Lu Yi's knee.
"Ah..." After a scream, Komiya Suizo's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, rolled several times on the ground, and then stopped. Lu Yi then knelt down in front of Komiya Suizo, grabbed his hair, and presented his pitiful state to Lu Yi. Lu Yi showed no pity for Komiya Suizo's miserable state, and said coldly, "Think about your own strength before coming to bother me. Don't worry, I won't kill you, but the harm you caused Mengxiang is not something that can be easily repaid. I'll remember this time, but if there's a next time, it won't be as simple as just seriously injuring you. Also, forget about today's events, otherwise... you know what will happen!" With that, Lu Yi released Komiya Suizo and went to Mengxiang.
"How is it?" Approaching Mengxiang, Lu Yi reverted to his usual gentle demeanor and asked with concern.
"I...I'm fine now." Looking at Lu Yi's gentle and concerned eyes, Mengxiang said somewhat helplessly.
"I'll take you to the infirmary!" Without waiting for Mengxiang's reply, Lu Yi picked her up in a princess carry and headed towards the school. When they passed Xiaogong Suizang, Lu Yi didn't even glance at Xiaogong Suizang, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog.
Inside the medical room of Yanghai Academy.
"Mengxiang, you can rest here for a while. I'll come see you again after class," Lu Yi said with a smile to Mengxiang, who was lying on the bed.
"Lu Yi..." Just as Lu Yi stood up, Meng Xiang grabbed his hand and said, "Don't go, okay?"
"Yes, I'm not leaving!"
"Hey, Lu Yi."
"kindness?"
"You say you are human, is that true?"
"kindness."
"But, you just now..."
"Heh, are you trying to say that what I just did was something no human being could do, is that right?"
"kindness."
"Actually, rather than saying I'm human, to be precise, I should be an alien. The universe is infinite, and life doesn't only exist on Earth. There might be life in some place, some corner of the universe, and I used to live in some place in the universe..." As he spoke, Lu Yi seemed to return to the Dragon Ball world, to the scenes of fighting, having fun, getting stronger, and resisting alien creatures with his friends.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter Six: Kurono Komu
After Lu Yi finished speaking, he saw Meng Xiang staring at him in disbelief, which made him chuckle. But no matter what, Meng Xiang's expression at that moment was undeniably... incredibly cute. Her slightly open mouth, filled with shock, and her large, bright eyes fixed on him—that look, that expression, captivated Lu Yi's entire being. Especially those slightly open mouths, which made him involuntarily kiss her.
Lu Yi's actions finally brought Mengxiang, who was in a daze, back to her senses. Looking at Lu Yi's handsome face getting closer and closer, and his deep eyes filled with gentle infatuation and deep love, Mengxiang, who wanted to run away, was immediately captivated and could no longer look away. She could only watch his face getting closer and closer, with a hint of expectation in the depths of her eyes.
Closer, closer, finally their lips touched.
For a long, long time, the passionate kiss continued. The two seemed oblivious to the passage of time, lost in their lovemaking in the quiet, deserted medical room.
No one knows how much time passed—perhaps a moment, perhaps billions of years—before their lips parted. The two looked at each other quietly, smiled at one another, and everything was understood without words.
"Mengxiang."
"kindness?"
"Actually, what I just told you wasn't everything, but please believe me, I will tell you everything soon!"
"Yes, I believe you!" Upon hearing Lu Yi's words, Meng Xiang surprisingly did not ask any further questions, but simply looked at Lu Yi affectionately and said.
"Thank you!"
The two stayed there until school was over. After school, Lu Yi took Meng Xiang back to her dormitory and then went back to his own dormitory.
The next morning, Lu Yi walked along the bustling road, feeling the many admiring and jealous gazes. Lu Yi simply smiled and let it pass. However, one gaze caught Lu Yi's attention. In this gaze, Lu Yi sensed a trace of admiration, as well as some other emotions. This gaze was very complex, and even Lu Yi couldn't figure out its true meaning.
"What exactly does this mean? [This is a nonsensical string of characters and symbols, likely a result of OCR errors.]"
"Lu Yi!"
Just as Lu Yi was still wondering, a voice came from behind him. Without even thinking, Lu Yi knew who it was. Putting aside his worries, he turned around and smiled at Moka, who was running towards him, saying, "Good morning, Moka!"
"Good morning!" Mengxiang ran up to Lu Yi and said with a smile, then looked like she wanted to say something but couldn't.
"What's wrong? Mengxiang, are you feeling unwell?" Lu Yi asked, somewhat puzzled, upon seeing Mengxiang's appearance.
"Um... I overslept, so I forgot to eat breakfast, so... so..." Moka said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Hehe, I see. Here, come and inhale!" With that, Lu Yi pulled down his collar, revealing his neck, and smiled at Meng Xiang. He continued, "Remember, don't inhale too much. Your body can't handle the enormous energy in my blood right now. Otherwise, it will do you more harm than good!"
"Okay." With that, Mengxiang gently reached towards Lu Yi's neck. After a while, Lu Yi touched the spot where he had been bitten and said to Mengxiang, "Remember to digest it when you get back tonight. Don't let too much energy accumulate in your body, understand?"
"Okay, I understand!"
"Hehe, let's go then." With that, he took Mengxiang's little hand and they walked towards the academy's teaching building.
The morning classes flew by in Lu Yi's boredom. Going to class was torture for Lu Yi. It wasn't that he didn't like going to school, nor was it that the classes were too difficult, but rather that they were too easy. They were so easy that Lu Yi had the illusion that he was in a kindergarten, as if a primary school student was giving a lecture to a university professor.
"Mengxiang, I'm going to the cafeteria to get my food. I'll wait for you there!" As soon as get out of class ended, Lu Yi came to Mengxiang and said to her, who was still taking notes.
"Okay!"
Upon hearing the answer, Lu Yi headed towards the cafeteria. Just as he was halfway there, a groan suddenly came from behind. He followed the sound and saw a blue-haired girl kneeling there, clutching her leg, her eyes filled with tears. He quickly went over and asked, "Are you alright? Are you okay?"
When the blue-haired girl saw Lu Yi approaching, she quickly said, "Please help me, can you take me to the infirmary?"
Hearing her say that, he helped her up.
"Lu Yijun, you are such a good person!"
"Huh? You know me?" Lu Yi asked, feigning surprise as he looked at the girl.
“How could I not know you? You’re quite famous at Yanghai Academy now, and we’re even in the same class! My name is Hei Nai Hu Meng!” Hu Meng said somewhat angrily.
"Hehe... Is that so?" Lu Yi didn't know how to answer, so he could only laugh it off.
"Look into my eyes, Lu Yi!" Upon hearing this, Lu Yi involuntarily looked at Hu Meng. Seeing that Lu Yi's eyes no longer had the same sparkle as before and were staring blankly at her, Hu Meng happily hugged Lu Yi, and Lu Yi, in a blank state, cooperated with her movements and gently embraced her. They held each other like that, but Hu Meng did not see that at this moment, there was a slight smile on the corner of Lu Yi's mouth, which quickly disappeared.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Mengxiang had finished taking notes and was running towards the cafeteria. She knew Lu Yi would be waiting for her there. But as she ran, she suddenly stopped because she saw Lu Yi hugging a girl she didn't recognize. At that moment, Mengxiang felt a sharp pain in her heart. Holding back her tears, she asked Lu Yi, "Lu Yi, who is she?"
(Wishing everyone a Happy New Year, all the best, and a harmonious and prosperous family. I also hope that everyone will have many good things in the new year. Of course, there will be no shortage of updates; starting tomorrow, there will be at least two chapters, and I can't lower my minimum requirement.)

Chapter Seven: I Am the Protagonist
"Ah, it's Moka! Don't get me wrong, it's not what you think. I just found her when I went to the cafeteria. Her name is Kurono Kurumeng, and she's in the same class as us. She seems to be sick, and I was just about to take her to the infirmary!" Seeing Moka looking heartbroken not far away, Lu Yi lost all interest in acting and quickly explained to Moka.
"Hehe, is that so? Getting her medical attention is the priority. You should take her to the infirmary quickly. I'll wait for you in the cafeteria!" Hearing Lu Yi's explanation, Meng Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll be going now!" Lu Yi said, putting his arm around Hu Meng and walking towards the infirmary. Hu Meng, in Lu Yi's arms, would occasionally look up at Lu Yi's handsome face, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. She didn't understand why Lu Yi would wake up so quickly after she had used a charm spell on him. As they thought about it, the two of them had unknowingly arrived at the door of the infirmary.
After entering the infirmary, Lu Yi helped Hu Meng onto the bed and said to her, "You can rest here for now, I'll be leaving now!" Without waiting for Hu Meng's reply, he turned and left.
"Damn it, you're mine, Lu Yi." Watching Lu Yi's retreating figure disappear without a trace, Hu Meng gritted her teeth and said, "And you, Chi Ye Meng Xiang, you just wait! Humph..." After saying that, she got up from the bed and left the infirmary without a care in the world.
After leaving the infirmary, Lu Yi didn't go to the cafeteria but walked out of the school. After a while, Lu Yi suddenly stopped and said, "Come out. You've been following me for so long, aren't you tired?"
"Did you find us? That's impressive! Seeing you having so much fun with Mengxiang and Hu Meng, I thought you hadn't even noticed us!" As soon as Lu Yi finished speaking, a voice came from behind, followed by the sight of several figures flashing by.
"Who are you? Why are you following me?" Lu Yi smiled as he looked at the group in front of him. Although he was smiling, no one could sense any genuine amusement in his tone. Instead, there was a chilling killing intent that sent shivers down the spines of the previously composed group.
"What? You really want to kill us? No, I should say, can you really kill us all at the same time? And deal with several of us wandering demons at the same time?" One of them said to himself, seemingly not taking Lu Yi seriously at all. Although Lu Yi's killing intent was strong, they couldn't sense a trace of demonic energy from him. They thought Lu Yi was just trying to scare them, so they ignored him. But it was precisely because of their underestimation of him that their fate was sealed.
"Oh, I thought it was someone important. So you're members of that infamous wandering demon organization. Tsk tsk... I never expected you'd care about someone as insignificant as me. I'm truly honored!" Hearing their words, Lu Yi laughed, a bright laugh, but anyone could sense the intense disdain in his tone.
"Hmph... Keep laughing, just wait and see, you won't even be able to cry in a moment." Lu Yi's disdainful tone immediately angered the group, and one of them sneered at Lu Yi.
"Oh??? Well, I'd really like to see for myself then," Lu Yi said nonchalantly.
