Dragon Clan: Start by obtaining the Sett panel

Chapter 313: Like a Mayfly, Born in the Morning and Died in the Evening
"Sakura, you're back!" As soon as Lu Mingfei returned to his seat, Eiry grabbed his arm with a smile on her face.

"Well, I'm back." Lu Mingfei touched Eri's head.

"What's wrong? You seem a little unhappy?" Eri wrote down her worried words in her notebook.

"It's okay, I'm just wondering when is the best time for us to go to Tokyo Skytree." Lu Mingfei said.

"Is that so? Can't we go now?"

"I heard it looks better there at night."

Lu Mingfei was chatting with Eiry in a haphazard manner, but in his head he was thinking whether or not he should tell her what he learned from Gu Ye.

But after thinking about it, Lu Mingfei always felt that telling Eri would be useless and would only cause her more trouble.

If someone suddenly told you that your parents who work away from home are actually just using you as a tool, it would be difficult for you to accept it, right?
Not to mention Eri, her mind is not mature yet, and letting her know such a cruel thing too early would undoubtedly be a torture.

Forget it, isn't there still some time? Why not try to take Eri out to play and fulfill her wishes? This is all I can do...

"Have you told him everything?" Xia Mi looked at Lu Mingfei, who was acting unnatural, and asked Gu Ye in a low voice.

"Well, you guessed it too?" Gu Ye nodded.

"As soon as that child used the Word Spirit, I almost guessed it." Xia Mi said.

"Don't you think she is very similar to my brother? We both have powers that we can't control."

"Yes, but the difference between her and Fenrir is that she is destined to serve the White King." Gu Ye said.

"Are you just going to watch this girl being used as a sacrifice?" Xia Mi's tone was a little low, and she suddenly had the urge to save Eri.

"I don't have a better solution at the moment. Did you notice that the girl's vocal cords are actually intact?" Gu Ye sighed.

"The reason why she can't speak is because the proportion of dragon blood in her body is horribly high, and it can't be integrated as well as mine, so once she opens her mouth, it's just words. In other words, whenever she speaks, it brings disaster."

"Is there no cure?" Xia Mi asked.

"That's the case for now. Even my blood can only suppress the active dragon blood in her body." Gu Ye said.

The power of the Soul Lotus may be able to give this girl a normal body, but so far this power has shown no signs of awakening.

So Gu Ye had no way to completely cure the girl, he could only wait, waiting for Kiku Masamune, or Herzog's next move.

If Gu Ye guessed correctly, this guy would never be willing to let the White King be contained in the body of the little girl in front of him. He must have a way to transfer the White King out.

As long as the power leaves Eri's body, Gu Ye will be able to save Eri's life.

Of course, Gu Ye did not tell Lu Mingfei all this. He could see that Lu Mingfei was confused now.

Lu Mingfei actually already had the answer in his heart, but he has never been able to face his own heart. Gu Ye wants to take this opportunity to help Lu Mingfei completely get rid of the indecisive self.

"Where do you want to go now, Eri?" Lu Mingfei and Eri were still communicating. He was so cautious, fearing that the girl's mood would be ruined.

"I don't know, but I want to be with Sakura, because I'm very happy being with Sakura." Eri covered her face with a notebook, staring at Lu Mingfei's face like a little animal.

Even though it was blocked, Lu Mingfei could still sense the blush on the girl's face and the look of great trust.

This made Lu Mingfei's heart feel as if it was being tightly grasped by a pair of large hands, and he felt like his breathing was about to stop.

Eri had always believed in him, but he betrayed her trust.

Lu Mingfei wanted to escape and leave this place without caring about anything.

The villain in his heart kept persuading him: "It doesn't matter. This girl is not yours anyway. Is there any need to care?"

"Every family should mind their own business, understand? Even if you use Lu Mingze's power, can you defeat the White King? Can you attack Brother Gu?"

"Eri can save the world alone, right?"

"Well, let's go to Disneyland first? You should like it there." Lu Mingfei shook off the random thoughts in his mind and spoke to Eri.

Yes, he still escaped.

He had no choice but to ignore it, nor did he have the courage to leave with Eri. He couldn't choose between saving the world and Eri.

The only thing he hoped for now was that day would come later, so that he wouldn't feel sorry for Eri.

"Disneyland, will Mickey be there?"

"Of course, all the Disney characters you want to see are there." Lu Mingfei touched Eri's head, raised his head and looked at Gu Ye with almost pleading eyes.

"Let's go together. Don't we just know where to go for the date?" Gu Ye looked at Xia Mi.

"Okay, let's go together." Xia Mi nodded.

Ten minutes later, Lu Mingfei and Gu Ye sat on a bench outside a beauty salon.

"Hahaha, we are so lucky, Brother Gu." Lu Mingfei smiled and talked to Gu Ye.

As soon as the four of them left the restaurant, they were stopped by a beauty salon. The manager said that today was their store's anniversary, and they had already planned to give the two customers a big gift and a major makeover.

Lu Mingfei explained somewhat awkwardly that he had no intention of coming here to spend money, he was just passing by.

But the store manager grabbed his hand and said that this was the only store anniversary event. At Gu Ye's nod, he pulled Xia Mi and Eri into the store without further ado.

Moisturizing care, exfoliation, photon whitening, eyelash ironing, hand care, all the items that dazzled Lu Mingfei were brought out.

Eri and Xia Mi were invited to sit on the luxurious chair in the middle of the store. The chair flipped over to a lying position with two clicks. Some were washing their hair, some were washing their faces. A group of people were busy around her, and the store manager personally served tea and water.

Although Lu Mingfei felt that it was a bit strange, he couldn't figure out what was strange, so he could only sit on the bench outside with Gu Ye. This reminded him of his uncle and aunt, who would sit outside and smoke while gazing at the sky every time they did beauty treatments.

"Yeah, I'm pretty lucky." Gu Ye squinted his eyes, enjoying the rare good weather in Tokyo.

For a long time before, it had been drizzling in the Tokyo area from time to time, and all the places he and Xia Mi wanted to go were ruined because of the rain.

Now that it was Lu Mingfei's turn, the weather suddenly improved. I really didn't know how to describe it. It was as if God was helping Lu Mingfei to clear the way.

"Brother Gu, is there really no other way?" Seeing that Gu Ye seemed to be in a good mood, Lu Mingfei mustered up the courage to speak.

"This is the case for now. After all, this is a plan that the Eight Clans of Sheqi have been planning for so long, how could there be obvious loopholes?" Gu Ye said.

"Are you reluctant to give it up?"

“How could that be? I just think that letting a girl like this sacrifice herself to save the world is a bit too ridiculous, right?” Lu Mingfei looked away, not daring to look at Gu Ye.

"Yeah, it's really ridiculous, but sometimes the world is just so ridiculous, even more magical than what is written in novels." Gu Ye glanced at Lu Mingfei.

"Unless, like in fairy tales, a prince charming appears to save the princess."

Prince Charming? Lu Mingfei savored Gu Ye's words, and two people emerged in his mind, Caesar and Chu Zihang.

Speaking of prince charming, there shouldn't be anyone more like them, right? But they had no choice but to hold Eri back.

Wait? It seems that the information that Brother Gu told him has not been shared with Chu Zihang and the others yet? Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei sat up straight.

"Brother Gu, you wouldn't mind if I talked to Senior Brother Chu and the others, right?"

"It's up to you. Our current goals are actually similar." Gu Ye shrugged.

The call was connected, and Chu Zihang's voice soon came from the other end.

"What happened?" Chu Zihang asked.

"I met Brother Gu." Lu Mingfei said straight to the point.

"All of this is a conspiracy of the Snake Family. Kikumasa and the King are the same person, and their goal is to revive the White King."

"I understand." Chu Zihang replied in a calm tone.

"Japan is no longer safe now. Brother Gu will take care of the rest. You should find a chance to leave. Brother Gu and I are together, so you don't have to worry about my safety." After saying that, Lu Mingfei quickly hung up the phone.

That should be all right, right? Chu Zihang and Caesar are safe, too. All they have to do now is wait for Brother Gu to save the world.

"I thought you would keep it a secret from them for a while." Gu Ye said.

"Why do you think so?" Lu Mingfei turned his head.

"If we hide it from them, maybe we will have a chance to take the girl away. And if we cooperate with Kassel Academy, maybe we can find other ways to save the world?" Gu Ye smiled.

"Although the chance is very slim."

"..." Lu Mingfei was silent. It's not like he hadn't thought about this possibility, but he didn't dare to gamble. He didn't dare to gamble with Caesar and Chu Zihang's lives.

After all, he is just a fake who reached S-level by borrowing Lu Mingze's power. He can't impose his ideas on others.

Although he knew that Chu Zihang would never refuse as long as he asked, but as Gu Ye said, the chances were slim and Kassel College might not agree to such a risky behavior.

"Hahaha, these two girls are so beautiful. I'm really envious of you for having such beautiful girlfriends." The manager brought coffee and sat down next to Lu Mingfei and Gu Ye.

"Thank you for the compliment. I also think my girlfriend is the most beautiful girl in the world." Gu Ye picked up the coffee and nodded to the uncle.

"She's really not my girlfriend, uncle! You can eat whatever you want but you can't say whatever you want!" Lu Mingfei denied it in panic.

He didn't know why everyone thought Eri was his girlfriend, whether it was MPD who saved him and Eri, or Xia Ya.

"Don't lie to me, uncle. What girl would go shopping with anyone other than her boyfriend? And would she agree to go to a beauty salon? It can only mean that she wants to show you her best side." The uncle blew away the hot steam from the coffee.

"Cheers! If you have a good girl like this, you'd better kill her by mistake than let her go. You must cherish her well!"

Lu Mingfei didn't take it seriously. After all, no matter who brought a well-behaved and lovely girl, the whole world would praise her. This was a common tactic used by the store.

He has seen this kind of situation many times. Isn't his uncle often fooled like this and spends a lot of money on his aunt?
But in the end he still clinked glasses with the store manager. Even though she was not his girl, who could refuse such a compliment?

At this time, the clerk brought Eri and Xia Mi to the two of them. The clerk covered Eri's head with a bridal veil and slowly opened the veil in front of Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei rubbed his eyes, a little bit unable to believe his eyes. Eiry seemed to be shrouded in a layer of light.

The layered side bangs and long sideburns make this seemingly country girl suddenly brighten up. Her long hair dyed light brown is scattered on her shoulders, and is illuminated into a light golden color in the sun.

"How does this feel? The hair is in the forest style, but the makeup is a bit bohemian. The lip color is the highlight. Doesn't it remind people of the texture of jelly ice cubes?" The store manager introduced very proudly.

Lu Mingfei couldn't tell whether the makeup was Bohemian or Montgomery, but Eri's face was so lively and soft, with a light blush on her cheeks, long eyebrows, and lips that really seemed to have the texture of jelly and ice.

He glanced at Xia Mi who was hugging Gu Ye. Xia Mi, who was already as fairy-like as before, was now even more radiant.

Thinking of what the store manager had just said, Lu Mingfei looked at Eiry's eyes, which were like those of a little animal and full of expectation, and suddenly felt a little regretful.

Actually… it wouldn’t matter if he admitted it, right? There was no one else around, and Eri wasn’t around either, so no one would know that a fool pretended to be someone else’s boyfriend just to satisfy his vanity.

Unfortunately, it was too late to regret, as the manager only asked me that once.

Besides, such a beautiful girl is going to die soon...

Like a mayfly, born in the morning and dead in the evening.
