Chapter 207 I Will Lead You to a New World

After the shine, comes the dimness.

Why is this girl silent?

Looking at Xia Mi, who was looking at him silently without saying a word as he finished speaking, Lu Mingfei felt a little curious.

After all, this girl has always been a very lively type. Even if someone really listened to something, she would just laugh it off with a joke.

As a result, after chatting with her daily and expressing his expectations of the people in this world and her, she seemed to have suddenly become mute. Until now, she has not said a word except for the increasingly thick mist in her eyes.

It's rare to see Xia Mi so moved.

"too late."

Xia Mi tried to raise her head and look at the sky. She didn't know if it was because of the scorching sun or what, but the emotions that had not been expressed for many years could not be suppressed at this moment, and crystal tears fell down in big drops.

"It's too late."

As if she couldn't bear her own embarrassing appearance, Xia Mi covered her face and squatted down again.

If only he had been like this from the beginning.

Xia Mi lamented in her mind.

Many people don’t understand dragons at all. Dragons, like humans, were just children born into this world. They were confused when they saw the world for the first time.

The Black King's high pressure, the indulgence of power, and the challenge of survival finally produced the fruit called rebellion.

And now, Lu Mingfei was standing in front of her. He used his actions to remove the shadow that she had finally mustered the courage to overturn. Only then did she realize that the shadow was as dazzling as the sun.

However, having smashed it into pieces, am I qualified to touch the sunlight again?
"It would be nice if you could come back earlier."

Xia Mi suddenly remembered a space opera board game that she had come across because of her curiosity about space.

The main story of this board game is about an era in 30,000 AD, when a great emperor created twelve primarchs to launch a great expedition for humanity to conquer the galaxy. In the end, due to various reasons and his own low emotional intelligence, half of the primarchs rebelled and launched a big birthday celebration against their father, destroying all their efforts.

Xia Mi felt that some of the plots were very immersive, such as conquering the world and civilizing mankind under the leadership of the emperor, and having a father who was not a human being and brothers who were at odds with each other, splitting into loyal and rebellious factions. In the end, although they disliked each other, they still endured the disgust and united to deal with their own father.

It's simply that there were more rebellions on their side, and their own father was killed, while there were only half rebellions on the other side, and only half of them were killed.

When the military book was just updated last year, someone asked this question on the forum.

If the Emperor returned in the 40k era, forgetting everything but his children, and became a caring old father, would the rebellious primarchs be broken?
Xia Mi can say with certainty that she doesn’t know whether those primordial bodies will break through their defenses, but at least her defenses have been broken now.

Why wasn't the emperor like this at the beginning? Why did they have to meet such an emperor again after they launched a rebellion?

"It's too late—"

"???"

A lot of question marks popped up in Lu Mingfei's head, and he looked at Xia Mi, who was like a parrot in front of him, with some disbelief.

Is this, sad?

After thinking for a while, Lu Mingfei finally understood what Xia Mi meant.

Oh, so that's how it is. No wonder the Dragon Kings are all problem children. It turns out that the Black King is not a human being.

It wasn't that he intended to snoop.

Dragons have a strong ability to empathize. Even the Black King's resentment before his death can influence dragons all over the world to develop uncontrollable hostility towards humans. Xia Mi's undisguised emotions can easily allow the surrounding dragons to passively sense what she is thinking.

The Black King is indeed a bit of a donkey, he only cares about the birth of his children but not their upbringing.

The instinct of longing for their fellows created the four monarchs, but because of the precedent of the White King's betrayal, or disdain, or lack of understanding, the hostility towards their own kind was never concealed. As highly sensitive spiritual creatures, the four monarchs gradually perfected their understanding of the world almost all under an isolated throne that released hostility all the time.

Anyone who has raised a child knows that it is a miracle if a normal personality can be developed in such an environment.

Perhaps this was the first time that the Black King became a living being, and He did not know how to raise and educate offspring, but as someone who played the roles of both a father and a mother, He was clearly unqualified.

Very unqualified.

"Looking at it this way, Xia Mi is lucky to have met me now."

This is not bragging, but stating the facts.

Lu Mingfei is aware of his own level, although he doesn't always brag about it, but the kids who surround him in the Peacock Residence and Eiry in the conference room can't be fake.

Of course he knows that he is doing well, otherwise he would not continue to do better.

And such an existence must be likable, as long as that person has no problems with his three views.

Looking at Xia Mi's sad and worried expression, Lu Mingfei looked at the scene in front of him and took a deep breath.

Lu Mingfei also understood that Xia Mi initially tried to get close to him simply because of her desire to survive.

Because she is indeed very weak and very afraid of herself.

This was also the reason why Lu Mingfei had never been worried about this girl in the past.

But this doesn't mean that my attitude towards her is the same now.

It is true that Xia Mi strives hard to become a qualified and obedient daughter in her own eyes.

At least she would help with work if asked to, and would study hard no matter how scared she was if asked to. From time to time, she would do things in the same way as the treacherous ministers to please others. Although it didn't work, at least it wasted her own experience and the TV dramas she had seen.

But she didn't expect Lu Mingfei's attitude.

Xia Mi’s motivation has always been to survive, and at the beginning she never imagined getting anything else from herself.

Or rather, the reason why she was crying like this here today was because she didn't expect that in addition to surviving, she would get such a reward.

She obviously just wanted to survive in the beginning, so why should she deserve such a reward?

"It's not too late."

Lu Mingfei smiled.

Since you have poured this emotion into me and put in your efforts for it, it is not a bad idea for me to take on this role.

He immediately raised his hand, and the wooden bracelet extended branches, piercing a bloody hole in the palm of his hand.

Ancient dragons once signed a contract with blood, and those who betrayed it would be retaliated by the blood contract.

Compared to his empty head, his other half has inherited a lot of ancient memories.

"In compliance with ancient traditions, we make this pact."

Blood flowed down the fingers, and the lion's eyes showed a shining light.

"As your guardian—"

Lu Mingfei stretched out his right hand and extended an invitation.

"I will lead you to a new world."
