Chapter 36 Night Encounter
As Odin disappeared, the raging rain seemed to be paused, the large raindrops first became sparse, and finally fell completely silent.
The outline of Nibelungen began to blur, like ink being poured into water, gradually spreading and fading until it completely dissolved into the air, as if this eerie space had never existed. The group of Deadpools that had surrounded the Maserati and emitted eerie howls also vanished with the disappearance of Nibelungen.
The thick, dark clouds seemed to be parted by an invisible hand, slowly receding to the surroundings, finally revealing the starry sky hidden behind them. On the clear night sky, the stars, like carefully inlaid diamonds, twinkled densely with a cool light, laying a tranquil and brilliant backdrop for this breathtaking finale.
"What are you planning to do next?" Nono pushed open the car door and stepped out, stretching lazily. Her purple dress outlined her graceful curves even more clearly under the starry sky, every line exuding just the right amount of elegance. Her long, straight legs were encased in matching stockings, which shimmered delicately in the night, making one's imagination run wild.
Lu Mingfei had just settled the two unconscious people in the back seat and straightened up, replying, "What else can we do? Let's go back to the hotel. Do you expect me to treat them on the roadside?" As soon as he finished speaking, he went around to the front and opened the car door.
"I thought you were going to hold a special ceremony for them to become a couple, with this dazzling starry sky as your witness." Nono looked at the night sky, her tone carrying a hint of playful mockery.
Lu Mingfei abruptly stopped pulling on the car door, turned around, and stared at Nuonuo with an indescribable look in his eyes: "I think I've heard a saying that after a person experiences a major danger, their adrenaline levels spike to a peak, and even after the danger is over, that feeling takes a long time to subside. At this time, some people will choose to engage in strenuous exercise to quickly deplete the excess adrenaline. It seems like there have been similar scenes in many movies and TV shows."
As he spoke, he slowly walked around to Nuonuo's side. Nuonuo felt a chill run down her spine from his gaze and instantly understood what he wanted. She hurriedly reached for the driver's side door, but just as she was about to get in, Lu Mingfei grabbed her wrist. Then, her waist tightened, and he swept her up in his arms. Nuonuo struggled and twisted a couple of times, but Lu Mingfei laughed: "Don't pretend. The fact that you said those things clearly means you want to do it too. Since that's the case, then I won't be polite."
Lu Mingfei carried Nuonuo to the hood of the Maserati and gently placed her on the smooth engine cover. Nuonuo struggled, her slender arms bracing against his chest, trying to push him away. Lu Mingfei suddenly straightened up, looked up at the star-studded night sky, and shouted in a deliberately solemn and authoritative voice, "The auspicious hour has arrived! Nuonuo, you witch, I, Lu Mingfei, will judge you as the Inquisitor of Heresy!"
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Mingfei gave Nuonuo no chance to react. Like a lion poised to pounce, he suddenly lunged forward. He used his ultimate technique, Judgment Hand, to launch the first attack. Nuonuo was caught off guard, and her weakest point was instantly attacked. A sudden tingling sensation spread throughout her body. She trembled, and the hand she had raised to resist went limp, losing most of its strength.
Lu Mingfei pressed his advantage relentlessly, his hand of judgment striking repeatedly, targeting her weakest points. Nuonuo was forced to retreat step by step, her body trembling under the onslaught, even her breathing trembling with a hint of laughter.
But she quickly regained her composure, knowing that if she continued like this, she would only suffer a crushing defeat. Nuonuo bit her lip, suppressing the uncontrollable trembling, and her eyes suddenly sharpened. She used her life's ultimate technique, the Deadly Claw, to reach out with incredible speed and directly take control of Lu Mingfei's war fortress, intending to repay him in kind!
Unfortunately, Nono's skills were not good enough. Although the Deadly Claw temporarily controlled Lu Mingfei's war fortress, no matter how she operated it, she could not shake the war fortress any further. Nono secretly thought that things were not good. Once Lu Mingfei's war fortress entered the heartland, she would definitely be in big danger. She had to paralyze the war fortress before it completely entered the heartland!
The witch Nono tried her best to breach Lu Mingfei's war fortress, but fate had other plans. Perhaps blessed by some mysterious power under the endless starry sky, Lu Mingfei's fortress was far more durable than Nono had imagined, more solid and domineering than in any of their previous battles, and it wouldn't budge no matter how much she struggled.
Nono could only watch helplessly as Lu Mingfei's war fortress penetrated deeper and deeper into her territory, his previously held lands being swallowed up bit by bit. She was frantic with worry, yet utterly powerless to stop him, forced to allow him to push his luck.
After the War Fortress invaded the heartland, it began to continuously harass Nono's territory with a large number of tanks and drones. Nono bit her lip and had no choice but to abandon the plan to drive the War Fortress out of the heartland and reclaim the lost territory. Instead, she turned to defend the last city, which was her last line of defense. Once Lu Mingfei broke through it, it would mean that she was completely defeated.
"Aren't you afraid that Su Xiaoqiang and Chen Wenwen's situation will worsen by wasting time here?!" Nuonuo was forced into a retreat by Lu Mingfei and could only resort to this underhanded tactic to try to divert his attention and hold her last line of defense.
Lu Mingfei remained completely calm and replied leisurely, "Don't worry, I've already checked. This little bit of time won't affect them." After saying that, he took advantage of Nuonuo's distraction and pushed the war fortress a little further.
Caught off guard, Nono let out a startled cry, then snapped back to reality and immediately focused on continuing to resist Lu Mingfei's invasion. This lesson of failing to steal a chicken and losing the rice instead made her completely afraid to be distracted again, and she could only concentrate on dealing with the fierce offensive of the war fortress.
Time ticked by, and the prolonged resistance had left Nuonuo physically and mentally exhausted. Finally, under Lu Mingfei's relentless onslaught, she could no longer hold on, letting out a mournful cry before succumbing to defeat.
In the end, she lost this encounter. Nuonuo collapsed, completely exhausted. Given her current strength, even if she had lost, she shouldn't be this weak. But the mysterious power from beneath the stars had left her so physically and mentally drained that she didn't even have the strength to lift her hand, let alone drive.
Seeing this, Lu Mingfei could only pick Nuonuo up again and carefully place her on the back seat, so that she could lie down and rest next to the unconscious Su Xiaoqiang and Chen Wenwen.
He then walked around to the passenger seat, whistled into the night sky, and called back the husky that had been chased away during the skirmish. Lu Mingfei pointed to the driver's seat: "Get in and drive!" In his view, since this silly dog was his mount, it naturally had to do the work. He couldn't let him be the driver and instead let the guy comfortably sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor.
The husky dared not disobey and could only obediently comply. It clumsily climbed into the driver's seat, hooked its paws onto the door, and then, imitating a human, placed its paw pads on the accelerator and pressed down hard. The fiery red Maserati roared to life and sped along the overpass, quickly disappearing into the distant night.
