From Chapter 38 onwards, you are all half-bloods.
The sky was clear and the air was fresh, probably thanks to the heavy rain last night. The air was much fresher than usual, and you could feel the moisture when you breathed it in. There was no stuffiness like usual, and even the buildings in the distance were clearly visible.
Lu Mingfei woke up unusually early, not because he was sleep-deprived, but because he was naturally awake, since he hadn't actually exerted much effort the night before. The mental energy he expended treating Su Xiaoqiang and Chen Wenwen was negligible to him; even if he ignored it, he could replenish it in just a few minutes. As for the fatigue that overwhelmed him last night, it was more like a psychological illusion than a genuine feeling of physical exhaustion.
The main reason was to take care of Su Xiaoqiang and Chen Wenwen. After all, it was the first time for the two of them to experience something like this, and he was worried that overexertion would affect their health. Unlike Nuonuo, whose physical constitution was far superior to that of ordinary people, and with Lu Mingfei helping her to regulate and stabilize the Black King bloodline in her body, she was even more powerful. Now, her physical condition was something that even those high-level hybrids could hardly match, so Lu Mingfei could rest assured and do whatever he wanted.
After waking up, he had nothing to do, so he's currently playing StarCraft with Lao Tang.
"Mingming, why is your voice so soft today?" Old Tang asked through the earpiece.
"Shh, someone's sleeping over here," Lu Mingfei whispered.
"Oh, is that your cousin?" Old Tang's attention was half on the game, his fingers flying across the keyboard as he commanded his troops, seemingly planning a sneak attack.
"No, right, I don't think I've told you that I'm no longer at my aunt's house." Lu Mingfei's hands moved swiftly, easily deflecting Old Tang's sneak attack and simultaneously breaking through the opponent's defenses.
Seeing the "GG" message from Lao Tang, Lu Mingfei smirked: "What kind of level is this? You dare to ambush your grandpa Mingfei? Go back and learn the basics before you come back."
"Again! I was so close just now, I'm sure I can win this time!" Old Tang's unwilling roar exploded in the earphone, making Lu Mingfei's ears go numb.
"Why are you yelling so loudly?! Didn't you hear me not even raising my voice?" Lu Mingfei's voice was still not loud.
"Okay, okay, I'll be careful, I'll be careful." Old Tang immediately quieted down, his voice dropping eight octaves, then became curious again, "Wait a minute, didn't you say you'd already moved out of your aunt's house? Now you're worried about disturbing someone?"
"Of course, they're my wives." Lu Mingfei's tone was filled with undisguised pride.
Old Tang fell silent for a moment, then his tentative voice came through the earpiece: "...Is it made of paper or silicone?"
Lu Mingfei's lips twitched, and a vein almost popped out on his forehead. He immediately retorted without any mercy: "Come on, Lao Tang. Considering that you've probably never even touched a girl's hand in your life, I'll forgive your rudeness this time. After all, people can't imagine things beyond their own understanding. You'll probably be like this your whole life. I can only respect and understand."
"Waaah, stop cursing me, stop cursing me, I give up, okay?" Old Tang's dejected voice came from the other end of the earpiece.
"Hmph, that's more like it." Lu Mingfei sneered.
As soon as she finished speaking, the bedroom door of the presidential suite was quietly opened a crack, and a head peeked out furtively. It was Su Xiaoqiang, her hair was still a little messy, and she was looking around warily. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lu Mingfei.
"Hey, little fairy, you're awake?" Lu Mingfei turned to greet Su Xiaoqiang, then said to Lao Tang in the earpiece, "Alright, my wife's awake, we'll play again next time."
"Damn, how come I never realized you were the kind of person who would betray his principles for the sake of a pretty face..." Before Lao Tang could finish speaking, Lu Mingfei had already hung up the call.
He took off his headphones, stood up, and walked towards Su Xiaoqiang, who asked in confusion, "Where is this? How did I get here?"
"This is the Regent Hotel, the presidential suite that Kassel College booked for me." Lu Mingfei pointed to the luxurious decor around him and explained naturally, "You were too shocked last night, and your brain couldn't process so much information at once, so you fainted. I had no choice but to bring you here."
"Huh? Is that so?" Su Xiaoqiang frowned, scratched her head, her eyes full of confusion. "How come I vaguely remember seeing something particularly terrifying?" She desperately searched for her memories from last night, but all that remained in her mind was a chaotic mess after Odin's death. It was as if a blurry and terrifying shadow flashed by, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't grasp its specific outline.
Lu Mingfei was fully aware of this, because it was his doing. The kind-hearted Mr. Lu couldn't bear to see Su Xiaoqiang having nightmares in the middle of the night, so he specially helped her block out the memory of seeing the husky with its golden eyes.
"You did see something bad, and it caused considerable damage to your soul, which is why you fell into a coma." Lu Mingfei deliberately made his tone heavy, and his face showed a worried expression.
Seeing his serious expression, Su Xiaoqiang panicked instantly, her voice trembling slightly, "Then... will I die? Or... will my lifespan be shortened?"
She used to be a thorough materialist; souls and ghosts were all nonsense to her. But the bizarre and fantastical scenes on the overpass last night had shattered her worldview. If it were before, she would have rolled her eyes and thought Lu Mingfei was talking nonsense, but now, she stared intently at Lu Mingfei's face, believing every single word he said.
Seeing Su Xiaoqiang's flustered expression, Lu Mingfei smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, it's just a small problem. I've already solved it for you, but you might not be able to accept the method I used. I'll explain it to you slowly later."
"Method? What method?" Su Xiaoqiang frowned and pressed on, but as soon as she asked, she suddenly seemed to realize something, her eyes widened abruptly, and she crossed her arms, staring intently at Lu Mingfei, her tone filled with wariness and suspicion: "You...you wouldn't have done something strange to me while I was unconscious, would you?!"
After saying that, Su Xiaoqiang hurriedly touched herself all over, her fingertips tracing her arms and cheeks, carefully checking even her collar and the hem of her clothes, afraid of leaving any strange marks. But after all that fuss, she not only found nothing unusual, but also felt relaxed all over, as if every cell was full of vitality. That light yet strong feeling was like having a brand new, more perfect body.
She stopped what she was doing and looked at Lu Mingfei in confusion: "What exactly did you do to me?"
"Since you have already witnessed the truth of the world, I will be frank. I have activated the dragon blood factor hidden within you, and from now on you are hybrids," Lu Mingfei replied.
"Mixed-blood?" Su Xiaoqiang was stunned. But soon, she keenly grasped the key word in Lu Mingfei's words: "Wait, you said 'they'? Could it be..." She subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of the bedroom, only to see that Chen Wenwen had woken up at some point and was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring blankly in this direction, not knowing what she was thinking.
