Chapter 130 Xiao Yan: It's finally my turn.
The sea was pitch black, dotted with starlight.
As far as the eye can see, there are no islands, let alone a continent.
On the boundless water, there is only one white sailboat.
There were two people on the sailboat: him and the young man in a black suit with a lace scarf.
"Lu—Mingze?" Lu Mingfei sat bolt upright in surprise. "You—what are you doing here?"
"What for? It's the post-war debriefing, of course!" Lu Mingze sighed, resting his chin on his hand. "It shouldn't have been like this. Brother, you changed the whole ending all by yourself."
"Hmm? What was it supposed to be like?" Lu Mingfei asked subconsciously.
"Originally, you and your senior sister went through countless hardships to escape the collapsed Bronze City, and you were about to be saved when the Dragon King appeared and skewered Nuonuo like a kebab with his tail—" Lu Mingze smiled.
Lu Mingfei unconsciously hugged himself tighter, suddenly feeling a little cold.
Lu Mingze described it so vividly that it was as if he were there, witnessing the scene firsthand.
If his senior sister really got into trouble—he simply didn't know what to do.
"Brother, don't be nervous. There's still a chance. Just when you didn't know what to do, guess who came?"
Lu Mingze winked slyly.
"Who is it?" As Lu Mingfei asked this question, his reliable older brothers immediately came to mind.
If it were the group leader or administrator, even if Nuonuo were really dying, they would definitely be able to save her.
"Tch," Lu Mingze scoffed unhappily. "Judging from your expression, you're definitely not thinking about me, but the truth is that your most capable and reliable younger brother is here to help you fulfill your wish."
"You'd be so kind?" Lu Mingfei asked, his face full of suspicion.
"I swear to God, brother, my sincerity towards you is as real as gold, as clear as the sun and moon." Lu Mingze said, then changed the subject, "Of course, if you want a horse to run, you have to feed it grass."
"You still have conditions?" Lu Mingfei glanced at the little devil.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch," Lu Mingze shook his head.
Lu Mingfei curled his lip, thinking to himself that the big brothers in my group don't ask for anything in return.
They are all incredibly talented and speak so kindly. I must have accumulated eight lifetimes of good karma to be able to meet them.
Have you read Faust?
Lu Mingze asked, then, without waiting for an answer, continued, "The devil Mephistopheles made a bet with Faust: Mephistopheles would become Faust's servant, and once Mephistopheles satisfied Faust with worldly pleasures, the master-servant relationship would be dissolved, and Faust's soul would belong to the devil. My conditions are similar; I will sign a contract with you, and I will grant your wish—"
"Damn it! What kind of demon are you? What do you want my soul for?" Lu Mingfei glared.
"Not your soul, I want to exchange your body—"
"Get out!" Lu Mingfei hurriedly hugged himself tightly in fear.
Lu Mingze sighed and shook his head: "What kind of strange thoughts are you having in your head? I—never mind, it's no use talking about this now, brother, you won't trade with me—"
At this point, Lu Mingze pouted with a wronged expression and drew circles on his face.
"Um—if I were to trade with you, what would I get in return?" Lu Mingfei suddenly asked, seeking advice from the little devil.
To this day, he has been receiving food from everyone and has not given anything in return.
Looking at the little devil's current state, Lu Mingfei realized that he might also be able to contribute.
On the other side, upon hearing Lu Mingfei's words, Lu Mingze was immediately filled with surprise.
"Brother, what exactly prompted you to ask this question? For thousands of years, you have never compromised; this is your bottom line."
"The bottom line is usually three meters below ground level," Lu Mingfei blurted out without thinking. "Besides, I was just asking out of curiosity, it's not like I'm actually going to make a deal."
"That's true." Lu Mingze nodded. "This is a rare opportunity, so let me introduce my business. Listen carefully, the terms of the deal are as follows: you will be facing the four great dragon monarchs. Therefore, I can accept your summons four times. Now I am your summoned beast, but each summon will consume a quarter of your life force—"
"That's too cruel, isn't it? It costs a quarter of my life to summon you out to talk? You're so nice to talk to, why should I listen to you?" Lu Mingfei interrupted.
Lu Mingze sighed helplessly: "What I mean is, I'll only accept payment if I do what you ask me to do. If I don't do it, I naturally won't accept anything."
"That sounds pretty good. I'll summon you three times, and the last time I'll drag it out and refuse to use it. Then you'll be in trouble!" Lu Mingfei crossed his arms, beaming with pride, praising his own cleverness.
"Hehehe, you're right, brother, you can give it a try~" Lu Mingze smiled slyly.
Lu Mingfei couldn't laugh anymore. He had a bad feeling and quickly shook his head, dismissing his bold idea.
Instead of wasting his life summoning little devils, he might as well ask the older guys in the group for help.
"By the way, you still haven't said what you can do?" Lu Mingfei changed the subject.
"Well, let's just say it this way: I—am omnipotent!" Lu Mingze confidently put his hands on his hips, wanting to show off in front of his older brother.
"Can you get one—no, a few—ultimate imperial weapons?" Lu Mingfei asked. If he could get them, he would also have a gift to give him.
"Say it or not," Lu Mingze retorted. "By the way, what's an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon? Brother, are you out of your mind?"
"Go away, you're the one who's out of your mind. You say you're omnipotent?" Lu Mingfei said with a look of disgust.
"Is it that your thought process is different from ordinary people, brother? Or, to get back to the previous topic, your senior sister is dying—"
"Your senior sister is the one who's about to die!"
"Okay, okay, I was just giving an example. In that situation, I could save him." Lu Mingze boasted excitedly. "Besides, I can also help you take down that fiery Dragon King."
At first, Lu Mingfei thought that if that were the case, there was indeed something there, but then he realized something else.
There's nothing wrong with saving Senior Sister Nuonuo.
But taking down the raging Dragon King—wouldn't that mean he'd be risking his life to kill his buddy, Old Tang?
This is absolutely outrageous, a complete loss-making venture!
"Get out, you swindler! I will never do business with you!" Lu Mingfei said irritably, and still not satisfied, he kicked her.
"Hey, hey, the business was going so well, why are you suddenly getting angry?" Lu Mingze quickly dodged. "Even if a deal falls through, we can still be friendly. If it doesn't work out this time, there's always next time~"
"There won't be a next time." Lu Mingfei said firmly, "As long as I am strong enough, I will never have to ask you for help."
"Is that so? But can you do it, brother?" Lu Mingze changed the subject, his voice low, "Can you continue to grow stronger? Strong enough to break the shackles called fate?"
"Of course I will! One day, I will overturn this world!" Lu Mingfei declared boldly.
"Then I'll wait and see, brother!"
Lu Mingze stood at the bow of the boat, arms outstretched.
"When that thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth, namely Gog and Magog, and will gather them together for war. Their number will be like the sand of the sea."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Mingze leaned back and plunged into the dark depths of the sea.
"ah"
Lu Mingfei, on his deathbed, suddenly sat up, raising his hand as if to grab something.
"What? It was just a dream." He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and logged into the chat group.
Just then.
