Chapter 273 Lu Mingfei, You Will Die
I once heard the rain in Jiangnan, but where are the willow branches now?
I once listened to the rain on the willow branch, but where is Jiangnan now?
The blue-faced beast originally thought everyone was there to make money, but it didn't expect the monkey to come with genuine sincerity.
The blue-faced beast was somewhat surprised, but it didn't matter; he had already made money!
His life was ultimately guided by Herzog, embodying the life motto: "All the world's hustle and bustle is for profit."
—To those clueless, clueless kids.
on the deck.
Almost no one was paying attention to Ye Jingchen, Yuan Zhisheng, and Yuan Zhinu.
In fact, Genji really wanted to take his family to the beach. He sold sunscreen, his father, Uesugi Kotsugi, sold ramen next to him, and Erii and Genji played in the water on the beach.
He straightened his hunched back with difficulty. He had always thought that this day would come, but not now. He couldn't do it now.
The retirement of his father, Uesugi Kozuke, naturally placed him in the position of head of the Snake Clan, leaving him no chance to catch his breath. Perhaps the day that comes will be far, far away.
Due to the sensitive nature of his identity, his younger brother, Genjiro, has not yet gained full recognition from the core circle of the Snake Clan. In this long-distance voyage, Genjiro will give Genjiro an important position and allow him to gain high prestige, which will facilitate Genjiro's personnel arrangements for him in the future.
They were all members of the Snake Clan, and there were certain responsibilities they couldn't escape. They couldn't be like Caesar, enjoying the family's wealth and connections while simultaneously going against their own family.
The Genji brothers were too embarrassed to do that; in today's popular internet meme, it would be: "Men have some shame!"
This meme is quite interesting whether used positively or negatively.
As the architect of this operation, Ye Jingchen should theoretically be very busy, but it would be a waste of resources for him to sit in the rear and act as the overall commander.
If he were on the front lines, as a major combat force, he could overcome many difficult problems. This time it's not about trade, so he didn't lose the dragon slayer.
Slaying dragons is simple; all you need is courage and a sword.
There's no need for sophisticated instruments, high-performance AI, or a bunch of low-tier cannon fodder. Of course, if you have those, the more the merrier!
He took out a Gentle Seven Stars cigarette and handed it to Ye Jingchen, but didn't offer one to Yuan Zhinu. He had never seen Yuan Zhinu smoke before, nor had he asked her about it.
Ye Jingchen took it, snapped his fingers, and used alchemy to light the cigarette. The principle was not complicated; it was simply to ignite the flammable elements in the space between his fingers.
Glancing at the Soft Seven Stars cigarette that Ye Jingchen had already lit, Yuan Zhisheng silently took the lighter he was about to hand over and put it to his own lips. With a click, the flame flickered in the sea breeze, and with a deep breath, the crackling sound of the burning tobacco could be clearly heard.
This is the Emperor's breathing power and exceptional hearing. In fact, ordinary people can also hear it, but not as clearly.
He lit the last Seven Star cigarette in the pack.
This type of cigarette has long been discontinued and renamed "Mebius".
I seem to remember there was one model that still exists, with the words "Seven Stars" in black on a white cigarette pack. This model is now called the Seven Star King of this series.
Actually, the Soft Seven Stars Tobacco and Seven Stars King use the same tobacco, the only difference is whether or not a flavor capsule is added. If you want to know what it feels like to have your mouth filled with Soft Seven Stars smoke, it's very simple, just remove the flavor capsule from Seven Stars King.
Of course, if you don't mind Caesar's smugness, after all, in Caesar's eyes, this is a woman's cigarette; he smokes Cuban cigars, it's all about appearances.
Ye Jingchen, Yuan Zhisheng, and Yuan Zhinu stood beside the white painted steel pipe railing on the deck, their black trench coats fluttering in the raging sea wind like battle flags.
The three had golden eyes that seemed to flow like molten gold, and the surrounding sea gradually calmed down under their gaze, as if it had never been turbulent before.
Snow Country, in a hospital bed.
Shivering, Lu Mingfei suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze pierced through the gaps between the layers of bandages covering his face, and a pair of familiar golden eyes were staring at him.
"Brother, you're finally awake!" the little devil asked sweetly, seemingly without any pressure, always so calm.
Lu Mingfei, however, was not in such a good mood. He had been feeling a lot of pressure these past few days. He had finally managed to get into Kassel College from China, but now he had run away and ended up in this harsh and cold place all by himself.
Reaching out, he slowly circled around, patiently unwrapping the bandages from Lu Mingfei's body. These bandages, wrapped around scabs from frostbite, were thrown into the trash can beside him by the little devil.
"Brother, your injury has healed. You're going to meet someone later, someone you've met before." The little devil poked Lu Mingfei's shoulder with her delicate, pointed chin and whispered.
He placed a unique handheld mirror in front of Lu Mingfei, reflecting the faces of both brothers. Lu Mingfei's gaze was somewhat unsteady, while Lu Mingfei's was that of a little devil with golden pupils.
Even though he had seen many of the golden eyes of the little dragon people in Kassel College, Lu Mingfei still felt a little afraid of these lizard-like pupils.
With her head down and slightly turned to the side, she glanced at the dark black bow tie at the little devil's collar. "Do I really know him? Who is he?"
“You’ll meet soon, and our lovely little girl Zero will take you there,” the little devil said, slowly standing up and gently placing a small black top hat on his head.
"You're leaving already?" Lu Mingfei was a little flustered. Now that he was wandering around the Snow Country, he felt a little safer by the little devil's side.
With the same subtle upturn at the corners of his mouth, the little devil didn't offer much explanation, but simply teased, "Brother, when you're facing him, don't be nervous or afraid. Just treat him like your servant... Oh, you can also treat him like a little brother who might betray you at any time, hehe."
Sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at his overly fair and tender new skin that had just grown back, Lu Mingfei kept recalling the words he had spoken to Ye Jingchen by the fountain at Kassel College, standing tall with his chest puffed out.
Looking back now, I feel a wave of embarrassment. I held my head in my hands, rubbed my hair and scratched my scalp. As the dandruff flew around, it felt like my soul was soothed.
No one seemed willing to understand him. Lu Mingfei felt he had everything under control. The little devil had given him so many rights to use Words of Power. He clearly remembered that a hybrid usually only had one Word of Power, and Lu Mingfei was already so special, possessing so many...
"Why couldn't I do it? If I had beaten him back then, would Ye Jingchen be the one wandering around now?" Lu Mingfei muttered to himself.
Zero stood outside the door, her elfin right ear, hidden beneath her blond hair, twitched. After clearly hearing Lu Mingfei's mutterings, she pushed open the door and stepped in, her first words being a cold, detached statement:
"Lu Mingfei, you will die."
