Chapter 149 Then Follow Me Closely
"Is Eri happy?"
In the vehicle driving along the beach, Ultraman's mind was scanning all the way underwater, and Lu Mingfei asked.
"Ah."
Eri nodded her head, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the sea curiously.
"The candy my sister gave me is very sweet."
What is the situation with the descendants of the White King?
Huddled in the passenger seat, Xia Mi stared at Eri through the rearview mirror, turning her head back to glance at her from time to time.
Lu Mingfei could actually serve as a chat companion during the mission. This was something Xia Mi had never seen before as she was used to working like a slave when her life started on a mission.
Xia Mi had only seen this kind of tolerance towards children when she was being tortured by Lu Mingze at the gang’s base in Peacock Residence, and when Lu Mingfei was playing with the neighbor’s children.
Oh, and Fenrir.
Damn it!
She subconsciously clenched her fists, and an inexplicable feeling of jealousy began to spread in Xia Mi's heart. She always felt that her favorability gain over the past six months had been in vain.
Losing to a kid and a mentally retarded brother was fine, but how come my progress was overtaken by such a big and beautiful girl in just one day?
Xia Mi turned her head and met Eri's pure crimson eyes and the innocent expression she had always maintained.
She is obviously more developed than me, so why is she able to play the role of a little girl so naturally?
As if she had noticed Xia Mi's mood change, Eri's eyes were filled with subtle fear. Like a frightened cat, she moved the seat to the side of Lu Mingfei, trying to hide herself behind him to avoid Xia Mi's aggressive gaze.
She is simply a natural born beautiful girl!
"Why are you jealous of Eri?"
Lu Mingfei looked at Xia Mi's expression. Being very sensitive to spiritual perception, he naturally understood what Xia Mi was thinking.
"Eri has a rather immature personality due to her past living environment, and her understanding of the world is limited. Her mental age is still that of a child, so we should pay more attention to her."
"When I think about how my own daughter can't enjoy this kind of love and care, I can't help but cry."
Facing Eri's curious expression as she was sandwiched between two seats, Xia Mi looked like she was about to cry, but she couldn't hold it back for even a second and immediately started shouting.
"I can be childish, and I can be a good kid."
"You can't fake childishness."
Lu Mingfei shook his head. He and Xia Mi had known each other for two years. Thanks to the trip to the capital, they had now successfully developed a one-sided father-daughter relationship.
You can say that Xia Mi is a youthful and energetic beautiful girl, but to say that this guy is childish would be a disparagement of Jörmungandr's guaranteed five-digit life experience.
"Just taste it."
He knocked on Xia Mi's head.
In Lu Mingfei's eyes, Xia Mi has nothing to do with childishness.
This girl has her own world view, goals, and motivation. Even though she has a subtle inferiority complex due to being tortured by reality for a long time, compared to her past self, Xia Mi is full of motivation.
She knows what her goal is and will work hard to achieve it.
Xia Mi really wanted to survive the predicted doomsday reckoning with Fenrir, so she tried to blend into the mixed-blood group, and after knowing her identity, she came to him and called him daddy with a lick of his face.
All of this is an effort to survive, it is purposeful and has nothing to do with childishness.
In daily life, Lu Mingfei felt that Xia Mi was more abstract than childish.
This kind of nonsensical and funny personality often makes people laugh, and it is simply a concrete atmosphere regulator.
Looking at Xia Mi who was still rubbing her forehead, he really felt that Xia Mi was quite relaxed now. Now that you suddenly care about her, this girl might even come up with some corny plots for you.
In the past, she had been living in an environment created by dragons, humans, and prophecies that said "you will die sooner or later." Perhaps this kind of nonsense now is an unprecedented relaxation for Xia Mi, who has been under pressure all the time.
Maybe one day Xia Mi will suddenly stop making trouble, which means we should really care about this girl.
Lu Mingfei withdrew his gaze and raised his head to continue scanning the surrounding rock walls.
"I found an underwater passage with traces of human intervention nearby. Check to see if the location is correct." Xia Mi secretly glanced at Lu Mingfei's hand, then answered seriously.
"That's it, but I'm afraid there's something wrong down there."
There is indeed a problem.
Lu Mingfei rubbed his chin.
The smell of dragon blood below is very strong, and there are some things that cannot be shaped by the mind. They should be some alchemical devices.
Xia Mi put on the mask of shared elemental vision.
"Along this path that runs through the underground ridge is the area where elements are concentrated and active. It can already have an impact on reality. It is far away from Tokyo city, and the reason for this should be that they need to be away from humans."
Eri watched the two of them fiddling with the alchemical equipment with curiosity, and was somewhat happy that they did not avoid her like they did during her brother's meeting.
The alchemical equipment used by Xia Mi has a very sci-fi feel. In Eri's eyes, it's like a psychic agent who has come to reality.
"Leo, what is this?"
"A mental sharing device that can share each other's perceptions."
Lu Mingfei answered, and then used Xia Mi's perception of the earth veins to quickly lock the location.
?
Eiry blinked in confusion, but seeing how focused they were, she felt embarrassed to disturb them. She just crouched down furtively, looking left and right, as if she had endless energy.
It's hidden quite deeply.
and--
Feeling the increased proportion of wind elements in the earth veins, Lu Mingfei narrowed his eyes slightly.
Is it really Odin intervening again?
This guy simply has endless energy and has left countless traces in the modern history of mixed-race people.
As for whether Odin himself is there, you have to go and see it with your own eyes.
"Xia Mi, if we go any further we might have to face Odin, do you want to go back?"
Lu Mingfei asked immediately. He also knew that Xia Mi was a coward and had no intention of forcing the other party to try to defeat the enemy.
It’s good for Xia Mi to stay in the capsule, at least it won’t cause any trouble.
"Of course I'm going."
Patting his chest, Xia Mi was full of confidence, but it looked more like he was showing his loyalty.
"With you here, Dad, I'm definitely not in danger!"
"You really think highly of me."
Lu Mingfei shook his head and then looked at Eiry.
"What about you, Eri?"
"I won't be scared if Leo is here!"
Eiry's expression was as firm as if she believed in some truth, which made Lu Mingfei slightly stunned.
"Damn it, the expression is still not right."
Xia Mi muttered softly.
Lu Mingfei looked at the two girls who had entrusted their lives to him and nodded.
"Then follow me closely."
