Chapter 45 misdirection
As Jiude Mai watched Lu Mingfei look up at her from the ground, her mind was filled with profanities.
Because she had no intention of doing anything like using voice mimicry and then jumping down from the sky.
She was thrown into the air by Lu Mingfei.
And she really can't change direction in mid-air unless she activates her Bloodlust to the point where she transforms into a dragon and grows wings.
But whether it can actually be driven to that extent is another matter, and even if it could, there's no need for it.
The recent rain had left many petals covered in dew, and a few petals stuck to her clothes after Lu Mingfei jolted her into the air.
If it were daytime after the rain, she would stand by the flowerbed, a gust of wind would sweep the leaves and petals across her, and a few petals would stick to her.
It must have been a beautiful and innocent scene, with a boy standing opposite her who wanted to confess his love, while Mai thought to herself, "If your eyes weren't staring straight at my chest, I might have considered it."
Then a flying sword came from the ground, slicing through the night as petals danced in the air, carrying a chilling aura as it rushed into Mingzhao's range, aiming straight for her heart.
Although he was also after her chest, Mai Shude preferred to face the former.
Mai Shude's eyes twitched violently. They had been chatting fairly well just now, but when they started fighting, her flying sword was aimed at his heart. What kind of innocent rabbit was this? Even the big bad wolf was kinder than him!
Lu Mingfei swung his sword to block the flying sword, making a crisp "ding" sound in the night sky. Having confirmed the opponent's exact location, he smiled as he hugged the street lamp.
"call--"
The sound of sticks whistling through the air echoed through the night, but where did the sticks at the scene come from?
"when--"
The long, metallic sound drew the attention of everyone fighting inside Valhalla.
Yes, Mai Shude was sent to attack Lu Mingfei, while the others rushed into the Hall of Heroes in an attempt to break through the barrier.
Fortunately, the windows inside Valhalla were large, allowing everyone to see clearly what was happening outside.
However, they would rather they hadn't seen it.
The white light formed a line in the night sky, drawing a fan-shaped arc before disappearing, because Lu Mingfei had torn the power lines connecting the streetlights.
Yes, he waved the street lamp and slammed the blasted Mai Shude, who had been sent flying through the air, to the ground with the ease of swatting a slow-witted fly with a fly swatter.
Reaching out, he caught the falling sword and sheathed it. Lu Mingfei walked over, squatted down, and looked at the Mai Shude who was stuck in the ground and blocked by the streetlight.
"...Do you have body odor?"
"Cough cough, are you an idiot? Just asking that? Of course not!"
Lu Mingfei admitted that he must have lost his mind to ask that question.
The main reason was that Mai Shude's figure was too stunning, which brought back his memories of chatting in online chat rooms back then.
A netizen who calls himself a "playboy" said that most girls with large breasts have this problem, it seems to be some kind of gland or something biological, and you have to give up something to gain something, and you have to bear the weight of the crown.
But given Lu Mingfei's limited knowledge, he truly had no opportunity to verify it.
In the Twisted Three Kingdoms, the only chances he could have of meeting girls besides the dancers were Princess Qinghe. In this world, the only girls he actually knew were Chen Wenwen, Liu Miaomiao, and Su Xiaoqiang.
But he wasn't familiar with Liu Miaomiao, so it's unclear whether that's actually the case.
Well... at least that's what this woman says right now.
Perhaps that netizen who calls himself a "playboy" is wrong; he likes to pretend to be an experienced person to show off.
Lu Mingfei recalled how he was amazed by this theory when he first heard it, and then felt a bit uneasy after he started paying attention to the different body odors of different people.
So he couldn't help but chuckle and nod.
Seeing this made Mai Shude's head buzz, and even the physical buzzing lessened considerably.
You mean someone was frantically throwing swords at you one second, trying to kill you, then slammed you to the ground with a streetlight, just to ask you this kind of question? And then laughed after asking it?
She had heard of the Cthulhu Mythos and felt it was strangely similar. Could it be that Lu Mingfei had gone mad after seeing something he shouldn't have seen without their knowledge?
Unaware that he was being suspected of being crazy, Lu Mingfei finally remembered what he was planning to do and spoke up.
"Alright, let me ask some serious questions. Who is your master? What is the composition of your team? And what exactly is your purpose in coming here?"
Lu Mingfei asked three questions in a row with considerable composure, which made Jiu Demai feel a little uneasy.
"I can't tell you who the boss is. There are thirteen people in total. As for the purpose, I already told you from the beginning."
"You mean the so-called Dragon King's remains? Give me a break. If you're the strongest, then your group of less than twenty people swaggering in like that is just like delivering vegetables to the slaughter, and you're trying to steal the remains?"
Yes, that's why Lu Mingfei asked again. Even if there were fewer people, there wouldn't be that few. What can thirteen people do? Even if you break through 100,000, you'd still need 800 people.
They even stormed in through the main gate in a flamboyant manner, making it feel more like performance art than an attack. So Lu Mingfei asked a sincere question.
"I've watched magic trick debunking videos. Your movements look a lot like misdirection, where large movements mask smaller ones. That explanation makes a lot more sense."
"Wow, I didn't know you liked magic, brother? Looks like I made the right choice by bringing this bouquet of flowers."
A corner of the dark clouds in the night sky collapsed, and the moonlight that leaked out shone like a spotlight in Lu Mingfei's eyes. Jiu De Mai had disappeared, leaving only a well-dressed, cute boy leaning on a cane.
Lu Mingze stood in the moonlight, smiling as he looked at Lu Mingfei. He looked like an angel, but his clothes made him look like a devil tempting people to make deals.
Lu Mingfei still believes that the other person is his second personality or something similar.
After all, he had encountered countless things in the Twisted Three Kingdoms that would have caused him mental problems, so it wouldn't be abnormal for him to have a split personality after returning.
He smiled and spoke to what was probably the only person in the world who could truly understand him.
"Hehe, why don't I see the flowers you prepared for me?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingze simply reached out and twisted the cane, which transformed into a lifelike bouquet of roses. The deep red petals were fragrant and glistened with dew, as if they had just been picked.
He knelt on one knee and handed the bouquet to Lu Mingfei as if to confess his feelings.
"For my dearest brother, it's a pity this prop can only turn into roses, it's still a bit ambiguous."
"It's nothing, I quite like it. I'll soak the flower petals in wine when I get back; it'll taste delicious. What brings you here today?"
With a smile, Lu Mingfei ruffled Lu Mingze's jet-black hair.
