Volume 1 Hello, Lu Mingfei Chapter 81 Bronze and Fire (Part 2)
"Then the third question is, why are you helping me?" Lu Mingfei said, "You said that dragon slayers are driven by different interests. Can I understand that helping me will be beneficial to you?"
"You can think of it this way. Helping the only S-rank student on campus is my mission. We hope that you can achieve great things in slaying dragons."
"Why is it this old-fashioned code name again?" Lu Mingfei rubbed her hair in annoyance. "What does S-level mean? Is it that awesome?!"
"In the world of dragons, bloodline is the absolute class divide. There is a huge difference between each level. There are many reasons for evaluating a person as S-level, the most important of which is that S-level has the power to directly fight against the Dragon King." Ling said, "Below the Dragon King Nidhogg, there are four first-generation species, the King of Bronze and Fire, the King of Earth and Mountains, the King of Ocean and Water, and the King of Sky and Wind. To face these first-generation species directly, you must have at least A-level bloodline. Otherwise, the mental pressure from the bloodline alone can cause humans to collapse. S-level doesn't need to care about this at all."
“Then your bloodline should be very high, right? You even use the same spiritual language as Chu Zihang.” Lu Mingfei remembered that Ling was not afraid to look into Chu Zihang’s golden eyes just now, and the flames of the two of them could blow the church to pieces in minutes.
"Kassel gave me an A rating. As for Word Spirit, Jun Yan is not my Word Spirit. My Word Spirit is [Mirror Pupil], and its specialty is learning and analyzing. This allows me to copy the Word Spirit released in front of me, so that I can master this Word Spirit within a certain period of time. If Chu Zihang keeps fighting me, without considering the issue of physical strength, the result should be that I will lose, because my Jun Yan cannot last that long."
In the face of Lu Mingfei's questions, Ling was unreserved. In fact, she was not at the point of no return. Even if she was discovered by Cassel, the boss behind her could support her to leave in ten thousand ways. She was willing to face Lu Mingfei directly just to return the kindness. Lu Mingfei had no way out, but Lu Mingfei chose to help herself at that time, which showed that she wanted to trust herself very much, and the previous friendly work was not ineffective.
"The fourth question..." Lu Mingfei looked into Ling's eyes and asked word by word, "Can I... continue to trust you?"
The previous questions were all one-sided interrogations, and only with the last question did Lu Mingfei give the initiative to Ling. She asked that question very carefully, as if she was holding something fragile.
Ling did not answer. It was an accident that her identity was exposed tonight. In response to Lu Mingfei's questions, Ling had tried her best to tell all the parts that did not touch the core. The boss would not mind this. However, once the real side is exposed to the sun, it is difficult to go back to the past. Lu Mingfei could not forget that incident and pretend to be a carefree little angel, and would still think about jumping up and hugging her neck every day.
"I have said everything I can say. If you don't have any other questions, then you should consider what to do next." As a prisoner, Ling was guiding the interrogator to show her a clear way forward. "It's not too late to regret now. Hand me over to the academy and apologize to Chu Zihang sincerely. Everything can still be salvaged."
"What good will that do for me? Cassel won't say I'm a hero who protects the campus and give me a big bonus just because of this. I've only been here for more than a week, and I don't have such a good impression of them." Lu Mingfei sat on the bed with her chin in her hand. Her long eyelashes were hidden in the shadow of the light, and she looked a little unhappy. "I'm actually a very selfish person. As long as I live a good life, I won't care about the frost on other people's roofs. The college should be very happy if they know your identity, right? They think they have found a traitor on campus. But what does that have to do with me? If I hand you over, I will have no roommate. The next person who comes here to keep me company might be a useless and greasy senior sister like Finkel. I'm too lazy to hug her."
She turned her head and looked at Ling, very seriously, "To be honest, I like you very much. If the world is about to be destroyed and I have to choose someone to accompany me, I would rather choose you than Chu Zihang."
Ling was stunned for a moment. She thought Lu Mingfei would really want to make a monkey or something with Chu Zihang. She could tell from the emotion in her eyes, but now Lu Mingfei said to her, "Men are nothing. I'll choose my roommate."
"Why?"
"I have to admit that I have some unrealistic thoughts about my senior brother, but that feeling is just like the silent crush that everyone has when they are young. One day, you are walking on the street in a daze, and suddenly you see a beautiful girl sitting by the lake reading a book. The evening breeze ruffles her long hair, and her shadow stretches very long in the sunset. Your heart is moved, and you fall in love with her just like that. That's the feeling. Most of these stories will end in vain, and there is nothing to regret. So Chu Zihang is that kind of girl to me. It's good to get it, and it's not a big deal to lose it. I won't cry, drink medicine, or hang myself to find death. That's too stupid."
"Senior brother is a very good SuperMan, but he may not be suitable for me. Between the person who cares about me and the person I care about, I choose the former. It is a very happy thing to be loved by someone." Lu Mingfei said softly, "Do you know? Recently, there is a popular saying called "licking dog". It says that a boy likes a girl, is moved by love and is willing to sacrifice everything he has. That kind of boy is called a licking dog. I hate this saying. If you have tried to like someone, you will understand that love will make people humble and sensitive. Because you are afraid of losing, you care more. Because you want to get, you are willing to pay. In this relationship, the key to the problem is not the boy, but the girl who gets this kindness. If the girl deliberately hangs on the boy, then the boy becomes the unlucky licking dog, but if the girl is willing to reach out and help the boy, then the boy's efforts become a good story in love, and vice versa. The same is true when the girl chases the boy. Everyone says that the guy who pays is a licking dog and laughs at him, but I think the one who should be scolded is the one being chased. If he is a bad guy, this story will be very sad. If he is a good person, everyone should send blessings together."
Lu Mingfei was chattering, as if she was telling her own story. Ling was a mute tree hole, and she was the girl holding a love letter and whispering in the tree hole. When others want you to talk about your secrets, you just can't. Only when your heartstrings are suddenly touched, the guy who used to be paralyzed can talk endlessly like a rushing river and pour out everything.
Ling was indeed a very good listener. Lu Mingfei had a lot on her mind, and she spoke slowly, and Ling was willing to listen slowly. They were like a pair of good friends who had known each other for many years, sitting together under the street lights in winter, snuggling up to each other for warmth, and talking about secrets that no one knew.
"I am quite lacking in love. My parents left me when I was a child and left me in my aunt's house. How could relatives be as close as your parents? Their love was limited, and they gave it to Lu Mingze, so there was no share for me. I knew it very well, so I lived cautiously in that family and didn't have many friends at school. There were many beautiful girls around me, such as Chen Wenwen, Su Xiaoqiang, Liu Miaomiao, etc. Each of them had many suitors, but they didn't like any of them and only focused on Chu Zihang. Didn't the boys who pursued them become pathetic lickers? At that time, I kept thinking that if it were me, I would never be like this. Whoever treats me well, I would treat him well without any scruples. I don't want those humble hearts to fall into the dust and roll around with scars all over their bodies."
Lu Mingfei laughed at herself when she said this. "But who would like me like that? If you have countless beautiful roses around you, you certainly won't reach out and pick that wilted and dying dogtail grass from the bushes. So when you treat me well, I am really touched and surprised. I haven't had this feeling for many years. Those beautiful things like being held up in the palm of someone's hand and cared for like a princess in a fairy tale, I feel like my heart has melted because of this. It sounds a bit like a confession... But I think you should understand what I mean. You open your arms to me, and I will do the same to you, not for any benefit or calculations in my mind, just being a simple naive person, I choose to believe in you. Along the way, we will not abandon each other , nor betray each other, until the end of death."
The words were as gentle as a vow. Ling stared blankly at Lu Mingfei's soft face, as if the memories of many years ago overlapped again at this moment. They hooked their two little fingers together and stared into each other's eyes, making a promise that they would never betray each other in this life.
"You still...you really haven't changed." Zero murmured.
She smiled faintly, and that smile was really beautiful, as if the glaciers had melted and all things had revived. The princess who had finally grown up in the castle lifted her long skirt and ran across the long river she had always dreamed of. Facing the world she longed for and loved, she gave it back with her most sincere and beautiful feelings.
"What did you say?" Ling's voice was too soft and Lu Mingfei didn't hear it clearly. She was only concerned about being surprised by Ling's fleeting smile and only regretted that she didn't take a picture with her mobile phone.
"Nothing, just talking to myself." Good things never last too long. Zero returned to being the zero with nothing, which was a bit regrettable.
Lu Mingfei smiled and said, "Okay, I've said everything I wanted to say. Now that I think about it, it's a bit sentimental, but I'm just that kind of person. I think more than I do, and I like to look up at the sky and feel sorry for myself. I won't hand you over to the academy. You treat me well, and I treat you well, it's that simple, and I don't think you're a dangerous person. As for my senior brother, I'll find a chance to explain and apologize to him. In the worst case, I've made up my mind to apologize. At worst, I can kneel at the door of the Lionheart Club with thorns on my back and kowtow to him to let me go."
Lu Mingfei clenched her fists, and there seemed to be fighting spirit burning in her eyes. She was indeed a chivalrous woman with a sense of righteousness. She stabbed the male god twice for her roommate. Since she could do such a heroic act, she must confess her crime and accept punishment to reform herself.
"Do you want Finkel to turn the Night Watch Forum into a gossip party exclusively for you and Chu Zihang?" Ling immediately pointed out the problem. "Chu Zihang doesn't seem to care about his reputation. He probably won't mind that you shot him again, but he cares a lot about moral etiquette. I think it's better for you to meet with him in private to apologize. As long as you can come up with a reason that can convince him, he will be willing to sit down and listen to you."
"To put it bluntly, Chu Zihang is a Pomeranian! He looks good, but he's actually very fierce. He has an overwhelming sense of justice, and I wish he could hold up the sky all by himself." Lu Mingfei was merciless when she complained about her male god. "In fact, I hope he's more like a German Shepherd, the kind that says "Master, master, I love you. You are my sky, you are my earth. If you say bite east, I will definitely not face west." He's particularly fierce to outsiders, but he circles around his master every day to ask for a pat. He's handsome and obedient!"
"If Chu Zihang knew that he is a dog in your eyes anyway, his expression would be lively no matter how expressionless he is, right?" Sanwu's comment on expressionlessness was a bit venomous. Ling imagined Chu Zihang with a human face on the body of a German Shepherd, and felt a chill all over his body. He always felt that he would call her "big sister" in the next second.
"Don't tell him about this!" Lu Mingfei clasped her hands together and quickly begged Princess Ling to show mercy and untie the prince.
The burning figure wandered around Kassel College. No one could see who it was. The only humanoid part seemed to be magma gushing out from the cracked surface. With every step he took, high-temperature lava would splash out, leaving corrosion holes on the ground. Flames rose from every landscape tree he passed by, and the crackling sound seemed to be a salute for the awakening of the king. Only from the pair of broken wings spread high, could one vaguely tell that it was a dragon creature.
Because his awakening was extremely sudden and incomplete, he fell to the ground shortly after flying away from Valhalla. With only half of his wings, it was difficult to support long-term flight, forcing him to leave this hellhole on foot.
Two completely different memories attacked his mind crazily, one growing stronger while the other weakened, repeatedly wreaking havoc and causing him a splitting headache. For a moment, he felt that he was a human being named Lao Tang, who loved playing StarCraft and driving antique cars. Under the name of a bounty hunter, he completed crazy adventures again and again. Although he was a little directionally challenged, luck always favored him, and nothing, including ancient tombs and shipwrecks, could stop him.
For a moment, he felt like he was a supreme king, with all the subjects kneeling at his feet, and people shouting his noble name, Norton, and bowing again and again. The flames in the bronze ancient city were raging, and thousands of Han soldiers fell on their way to the throne in the rain of arrows. Flags rolled down from the city gates, and charred figures ran in the sea of fire. There was no place for him to stay.
