Chapter 169 Although you're right, let's put the facts aside for now.
Lu Mingfei was speechless after Xia Mi's words.
It seems like...
Is it really his own problem?
But Lu Mingfei has one major advantage: he's stubborn!
Even if you've already admitted defeat in your heart, you still have to keep a straight face; your mouth is the toughest thing on your whole body.
"You...you're absolutely right,"
He stiffened his neck, trying to regain some of his composure, "But... are you completely without any problems?!"
"What's wrong with me!"
Xia Mi glared back defiantly, hands on her hips, with a "you tell me what you mean" attitude.
"I left the three of you at home to look after the family! And what did you all do? You all sneaked off here! Who's going to handle all the chores around the house?"
Lu Mingfei felt he had caught someone red-handed, and he raised his voice.
"Qin Gang!"
Xia Mi answered confidently, as if it were no problem at all, "He's also the deputy group leader, okay? Besides, before you came, he was the one handling all the big and small things at home! Now it's just a matter of filling in for a few more days, what big deal could it be?"
"Besides, I told Uncle Zhou before I came that he would help me if anything happened."
……
Lu Mingfei was completely speechless.
Okay, you're amazing.
When it comes to being stubborn, you, Xia Mi, no, Jormungandr, are the best.
An old woman who has lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years knows a lot and has a set of profound truths.
That's why people say, "Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure."
Although this "treasure" can be really infuriating at times.
Gu Nan, standing next to him, was holding a cup of hot tea that Ling had just poured for Lu Mingfei. She was sipping it slowly while watching the show with great interest, her face beaming with undisguised schadenfreude.
She couldn't have been happier right now.
When he was leading troops in battle, I always advised him to read more military books and learn how to strategize and leverage the situation, but he insisted that those rules and regulations were useless and that real combat was more practical.
Seeing Lu Mingfei's "lone wolf" style of not being good at mobilizing resources get a good scolding from Xia Mi, I feel a secret satisfaction of "See, I told you so, but you wouldn't listen."
However, the smug smile that she hadn't had time to hide was caught red-handed by the enraged Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei was already feeling ashamed and embarrassed by Xia Mi's words.
(Although they're stubborn and won't admit it)
But when she saw Gu Nan's "watching from the sidelines while secretly laughing" expression, she instantly broke down.
He took a deep breath, transforming all his frustration with Xia Mi and his self-reproach into a "fighting spirit" against Gu Nan.
He turned his head, stared at Gu Nan, his eyes carrying a fierce (in his own mind) look that seemed to say, "If I can't beat her, can't I beat you?", and succinctly extended an invitation:
"A fight?"
Gu Nan's eyes lit up instantly.
She was a warmonger to begin with, and she felt stifled back in the Qin Dynasty. Although she had a lot of fun in the modern world, she always felt restricted.
Lu Mingfei's suggestion was like a pillow being handed to someone who was sleepy.
"Come!"
She answered crisply and decisively, and before she knew it, she had put down her teacup. The sharp, battle-hardened aura of a general was subtly rising from her.
Without wasting any words, Lu Mingfei directly pulled out the iconic, uniquely styled Anywhere Door from the warehouse.
He pulled the doorknob, and there was a completely different world on the other side.
Qin State.
"go!"
Lu Mingfei stepped inside first, Xia Mi pouted but followed him, and Ling naturally went wherever Lu Mingfei went.
Oh, and of course, Lu Mingfei didn't forget Erii either.
He turned around deliberately, took the hand of the girl who was standing quietly to the side, and led her across the doorway.
Since Lu Mingze said that if this girl isn't "keep an eye on," there might be "not-so-good consequences."
Whatever the "consequences" may be—
I took her directly to the Qin Dynasty, more than two thousand years ago!
There isn't a single mixed-race person here. Is he a descendant of the White King?
Black King bloodline?
None of them exist!
Let's see who can stir up trouble on this land that belongs purely to humanity and the dust of history.
After the last person entered, the Anywhere Door closed silently and disappeared into the air of the Tokyo apartment, as if it had never existed.
Only half a cup of still-warm tea remained on the table, a testament to the brief argument and sudden decision that had just taken place.
In the mountains south of Xianyang, a tremendous whooshing sound and muffled impact echoed like rolling thunder in the deep valleys, startling countless birds into flight and causing beasts to flee.
That was Gu Nan, and Xia Mi, who had basically become a dragon.
Her once beautiful figure and perfect, almost demonic appearance were long gone, leaving only hideous scales and sharp, metallic bone spurs.
Lu Mingfei sat cross-legged under a sturdy old pine tree not far away, grimacing as he rubbed his sore shoulders and arms.
He had just sparred with Gu Nan. Without using any spells or magic, relying solely on physical skills and internal energy, he was defeated in less than half an hour. He was sent flying by Gu Nan's skillful use of internal energy, crashing to the ground and creating a hole a meter deep.
I almost strained my back.
"Hiss... This tiger woman really doesn't know her own strength!"
He cursed inwardly, but was mostly surprised.
He could clearly sense that Gu Nan's strength had improved again; the solidity and explosiveness of her internal energy were completely different from before.
Just before her defeat, Gu Nan even excitedly told him, with a hint of experimental enthusiasm, "I think I'm almost there... I'm trying to compress all the scattered internal energy in my body into my dantian, and now the golden core in my dantian is almost complete!"
Lu Mingfei's eyelids twitched when he heard that.
Compressing internal energy to form an elixir?
This sounds a lot like the precursor to "Core Formation" in cultivation novels, doesn't it?
My goodness, is this martial arts style starting to drift towards fantasy?
You should know that before, without using his Word of Power, he could easily hold his own against Gu Nan, who wasn't using her full strength, for an hour, relying solely on his enhanced body and profound internal energy.
Now... he was knocked down in less than half an hour.
This improvement in "quality" is terrifying.
Clearly, Gu Nan hadn't had enough of fighting with Lu Mingfei. The fighting spirit within her was still burning brightly, and she turned to Xia Mi, who was watching the show, and clamored to spar with the "dragon form".
Looks like they didn't get their fill last time.
Xia Mi raised an eyebrow and did not refuse. A golden dragon-like vertical pupil flashed in her eyes. Then, her body completely transformed into a giant dragon. Her skin was covered with a layer of fine and tough dragon scales, bone spurs grew from her joints, and a pair of huge, semi-transparent membranous wings unfolded from her back. Her limbs also became longer and more powerful, and her fingertips gleamed with cold light.
An ancient and majestic aura spread out.
At this moment, the sky is the battlefield between these two.
