Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei, let them live with regrets for the rest of their lives.

The entire Bronze City was the masterpiece of the Dragon King Norton. One of his abilities was to kill metal and recreate it, and the quality of the materials after alchemy was ahead of its time.

A true king possesses abilities that do not belong to this era.

Even if she used all her strength, the metal wall couldn't hold Lu Mingfei back. The key issue, as Nuonuo said, was that she was going to become disabled.

Helpless, Lu Mingfei returned to Nuonuo's side and tried to find other clues to get out.

The two began to examine the bronze snake-head figurine in the center. Its open mouth revealed that, despite the passage of countless years, its teeth remained sharp.

"Would they be implying that we should bleed them out?" Lu Mingfei wondered.

“Well said, hurry up and put your hand in,” Nono agreed.

"Why me?"

"Your blood is high-end, mine isn't good enough."

"I also heard that you grew up abroad and have apple blood."

“Look at my face, I’m a stunning Asian beauty.” Nono raised her head, gesturing for Lu Mingfei to see clearly; she was bright and elegant.

She doesn't have the unsightly features of those Chinese people, such as narrow eyes, prominent cheekbones, and a wider jaw.

Lu Mingfei examined her closely and found it to be true. She had a fair complexion and spirited eyes; such a girl would have been a leader among children since childhood.

"I've heard that foreigners are proud of having a good set of teeth. Nono, open your mouth, let me check your oral cavity."

Chapter 157 Dad

"If I had fangs, I would definitely bite a hole in you," Nono sneered.

Lu Mingfei smiled, stopped teasing Nuonuo, and took the initiative to put his hand into the mouth of the bronze snake figurine. Its fangs cut the skin on his palm, and a stream of bright red blood gushed into the depths of the bronze snake figurine's throat.

One second, two seconds, three seconds... a minute passed, and nothing happened, or rather, nothing occurred.

"Why isn't there a reaction? Maybe the amount isn't enough. This time, try applying it to the major artery," Nono suggested.

"Just say you want me dead," Lu Mingfei said irritably.

"Just kidding, guys who can take a joke are more popular with girls." Nono said, spouting a twisted logic that she herself didn't believe.

Lu Mingfei withdrew his hand, considering whether he could simply punch the bronze snake figurine to shatter it, which might open the door in the metal wall.

"Do you think we might be trapped here forever?"

A pessimistic voice came from behind.

"Giving up so quickly?" Lu Mingfei turned his head and saw Nuonuo shaking her head, clearly indicating that Bronze City had deepened its influence on her.

Lu Mingfei frowned, grabbed Nuonuo's shoulders and shook her repeatedly: "Nuonuo! Hang in there! We'll definitely get out of here!"

"Stop shaking me! You're shaking my brains out!" Nono groaned.

"Oh." Lu Mingfei let go.

"I'm fine, no, actually I am." Nono's words were a struggle between her left and right brain.

Lu Mingfei tilted his head; Nuonuo was indeed still not awake.

Nono ignored Lu Mingfei, looked up at the high ceiling, and said, "I've felt uncomfortable ever since I came to Bronze City. Now I finally understand why."

"What is it?"

"...Oppressive. The Bronze City is buried beneath the riverbed. The 'cage' we're in now has a ceiling that's about seven stories high, about twenty-one meters high, but this is just a small part of a passageway."

Your map shows a few hundred passageways. How large must the bronze city, formed by these interconnected passageways, be?

No wonder it's called a city.

There is a poem that says: "The Jade Capital in the heavens, with twelve towers and five cities."

This building and this city cannot be built by ordinary people; only immortals, or rather, the King of Alchemy, could accomplish it single-handedly.

Nono paused for a moment, then continued, "People naturally feel insignificant in the face of giant objects. In addition, once you enter the Bronze City, you can hardly see anything except gears, bronze figurines, and metal walls. There isn't even a window. Over time, this can lead to a sense of oppression and mental problems."

“Lu Mingfei, we are currently hundreds of meters underwater. Don’t you feel anything?” Nuonuo looked into Lu Mingfei’s eyes.

Lu Mingfei stroked his chin: "Someone taught me to swim, and I can swim up."

Nono was speechless. Was she asking if she could swim? She could swim too, wasn't she? You're being way too optimistic.

However, considering Lu Mingfei's physical condition, he really could ignore the pressure of several hundred meters and swim ashore by holding his breath.

Where is Nono?

cosplay of Qu Yuan.

"Alright, we still have teammates, those who went into the water with us on the Moniach. They won't just stand by and watch us die."

Are you hungry? I have some compressed biscuits here.

Nono waved her hand, somewhat annoyed.

Originally, as the older sister, she should have been the one comforting and encouraging Lu Mingfei in this situation, but the reality was the opposite.

Nono was tormented by a vicious cycle of feelings of defeat, thinking she was so lame and not cool at all.

Anyway, Lu Mingfei was all alone, so let him lose face.

Lu Mingfei is the highly anticipated S-rank, the Dragon Slayer, while Nuonuo is just an unruly wild girl. No one has high expectations for her; as long as she can eat, use the toilet, and stay alive, that's good enough.

Just like that man said, everything you have is given to you by me. All you need to do is be a good daughter who listens to her father. You don't need to have your own personality.

The more this happens, the more Nono wants to live out her own personality, even if it sometimes seems like a mental illness with a split personality to outsiders.

Now, Nono was dejected, her head hanging low, and her red hair seemed to have lost its luster.

Lu Mingfei thought for a moment, then reached out to pat Nuonuo's head.

With a "smack," Nuonuo slapped the hand away and shouted angrily, "Stay away from me! You don't deserve to be my father!"

Lu Mingfei withdrew his hand and looked at Nuonuo in surprise.

What's wrong with Nuonuo? What does "unworthy to be my father" mean?

Could it be that my ambition has been exposed?

Lu Mingfei observed that Nuonuo's eyes looked like they had onion rings, guessing that Nuonuo's nerve damage had reached a critical point and she was already experiencing hallucinations.

She seems to... regard him as her father?

Lu Mingfei had an idea and said gently, "Nono, tell Daddy what he did wrong, and Daddy will change it."

Nono sneered, "Stop your hypocritical act, I'm not buying it! You have so many children, you don't need one Nono!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei understood immediately.

It turns out that what Nono lacked was fatherly love.

Prescribe the right medicine.

Although I am not very talented, I am willing to be Nuonuo's godfather.

“Children are not objects; there's no such thing as superfluous. Nono, there may be misunderstandings between us, but please believe me, Daddy is…”

Nono interrupted Lu Mingfei, lowering her voice as she asked, "Tell me, how did Mom die?"

Oh, this.

It seems that Nuonuo is lacking maternal love, and it seems that I will have to become a male mother.

Seriously though, Lu Mingfei had no idea how Nuonuo's mother had died, and he was afraid of answering incorrectly and angering Nuonuo.

His silence caught Nuonuo's eye, causing the girl to show a look of disgust as if she were looking at a scumbag.

If looks could kill, Lu Mingfei would have been riddled with holes and would be dead beyond any hope of survival.

"I was never your daughter, but a product of a family marriage arrangement. If it weren't for God's intervention and the accidental discovery of the documents, I wouldn't even know that I was sold to a wealthy foreign family before I was even born."

"You ordered me to go to Kassel College after summer vacation, what? Are you so eager to sell me out?" Nono continued to vent her anger.

Lu Mingfei was an innocent victim, but he was already prepared to become Nuonuo's godfather, so he could accept these slanders.

Anyway, the person Nono truly hated was Old Deng, whom she had never met.

“Nono, we’re not going to Kassel College anymore, and we’ve broken off the engagement.” Lu Mingfei looked into Nono’s iris-like eyes and said, word by word, “I will go with you to your wife’s grave and kneel before it to apologize.”

"Are you lying to me?" Nono didn't believe it.

Lu Mingfei stepped forward, while Nuonuo stepped back.

Until there is no way to retreat.

Lu Mingfei hugged Nuonuo, wanting to convey his fatherly love to her heart: "I didn't lie. I swear to God, if your father doesn't kneel before his wife's grave, may he be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

"That's too cheap a way to die," Nono said, pouting.

“Tell me how you’re going to die,” Lu Mingfei said immediately.

"I want you to go to hell after you die, so you'll never see your mother again!" Nono said.

“Sure,” Lu Mingfei readily agreed.

Nono didn't say anything more.

Lu Mingfei let go of his hand, and Nuonuo immediately ran out of his arms, looking around for a weapon to perform craniotomy on Old Deng.

Seeing this, Lu Mingfei felt helpless; Nuonuo was truly rebellious.

Chapter 158 Miss Nono, you don't want others to know that you called a high school student that...

Ultimately, Lu Mingfei's decision to adopt Nuonuo as his daughter was most likely a case of him taking advantage of the situation.

Lu Mingfei's past life, if not exactly one of being pampered and adored, could certainly be described as one of being disliked by everyone.

Boys, especially during their school years, often have several "shared fathers" from childhood to adulthood.

Lu Mingfei did not.

Therefore, he didn't know how to be a great and loving father, had absolutely no experience in this area, and was always alone.

Aside from those who wanted to tease or make fun of him, nobody wanted to hang out with Lu Mingfei.

At this point, Lu Mingfei's most acquaintance is Lao Tang, a fellow crony; let's just consider him Lu Mingfei's first "son."
