"Then I'll call you sister!" Before the young man finished speaking, his figure had already transformed into a little boy dressed in an exquisite black suit amidst the flowing light and shadow.
Lu Mingfei glared at him coldly. "Because of the rules, I can't see you in my real body, otherwise I'll be discovered immediately. So I can only use this body!"
She casually raised her right hand, deftly pinching her thumb and forefinger together in the air—and a blank card with a shimmering edge appeared between her fingers.
She gently placed the card on the table and repeated the action twice.
She neatly arranged three blank cards side by side in the center of the round table.
"Sister, what are you doing?" The little boy asked, tilting his head curiously, his smile still bright.
"It's more direct to let you experience it for yourself than to waste words explaining!" Lu Mingfei's voice was cold, and her right index finger moved with lightning speed, precisely pointing at the little boy's forehead.
A moment later, Lu Mingfei withdrew her finger, and the smile on the little boy's face had long since turned into a heavy and serious expression.
Lu Mingfei lightly tapped the three blank cards on the table with her finger:
"These three cards represent three opportunities to modify the instructions."
"My time is running out. This appearance is my last chance to intervene outside the rules!"
"Soon the system's control will return to its original programming!"
The boy's body suddenly changed, and he became a young man dressed in a black suit.
His piercing golden eyes were fixed on Lu Mingfei.
"So that's how it is. The sudden shift in the timeline three years ago was your doing!"
"Please, my brother, this is the last time!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Mingfei's figure began to disappear.
Amidst the cries of seagulls and the whispers of the waves, under the empty parasol, only the young man stands alone before the round table.
……
Chu Zihang frowned slightly, his gaze falling on Lu Mingfei, who was curled up on the ground.
It's October, and a chill has already crept over this small southern town. People who are afraid of the cold are all bundled up in autumn clothes, but this junior student actually said that the floor is cool.
—A clumsy lie.
Just then, a cold, mechanical voice exploded in Lu Mingfei's mind:
Now you understand?
Your greatest weakness is your inability to tame this dragon bloodline!
The fundamental reason why they cannot be tamed is—
The system paused for a moment, then exposed the truth without any mercy.
【It's because you're pathetic, cowardly, and shameless, and you love to give up!】
If you continue like this, despair will await you!
Lu Mingfei was speechless.
Indeed, because of this damned bloodline, he has lost control more than once.
Although Lu Mingfei's existence was corrected by the system, those memories were still imprinted in his mind—every time he went berserk, he was like a wild beast driven by instinct, completely unable to control himself.
Strangely, Lu Mingfei didn't seem to have much influence on Liu Miaomiao.
Why couldn't even an iceberg like Chu Zihang resist Lu Mingfei's attraction, but she could?
The moment this question arose, the system provided the answer:
[As dragon hybrids, Lu Mingfei's existence is to you what a light is to a moth—a fatal attraction etched deep in your blood, an instinctive desire that you can never resist.]
[By consuming her, any hybrid will rise to the top and become the ruler of the world!]
[But Liu Miaomiao is a pure human being, and a girl at that. With the added benefit of a cognitive filter, she naturally wouldn't be like you—a lustful glutton.]
Lu Mingfei's face instantly burned.
The system was right. If Lu Mingfei hadn't beaten him up back then, he probably would have already...
"It's so embarrassing..." He covered his face in shame.
Don't be discouraged. As long as you can forge an iron will, you can remain rational during the dragon blood rampage!
"What to do?"
[Side Quest: At 14:10 PM, head to Century Star Gym and face off against Su Xiaoqiang!]
[Reward for successful mission: Escape Card (One-time use item, guarantees successful escape after use)]
[Punishment for mission failure: One-stop service]
Lu Mingfei's expression was strange.
A showdown with "Little Fairy"?
Even if you fail, they offer a "one-stop service"?
Even more outrageous is the reward—a getaway card?
"What does this have to do with tempering one's will?" he couldn't help but ask.
Have you ever heard the saying that confidence stems from ability?
Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes. Isn't that obvious?
[That's why I'm sending you to the gym. Once you're physically fit, you can handle more punishments – consider it a way to toughen up your will!]
Lu Mingfei was speechless. What kind of twisted logic was this? Couldn't you just say you wanted to mess with me?
If you can meet Lu Mingfei and remain unmoved, your bloodline will become an asset rather than an obstacle!
Mentioning Lu Mingfei, Lu Mingfei suddenly thought of a crucial question:
"System Bro, could Lu Mingfei be... you?"
Of course not.
The system's mechanical voice carried a hint of disdain.
Lu Mingfei's body was created based on your bloodline DNA.
Simply put, she is the female version of you.
Lu Mingfei's expression froze instantly.
This answer both shocked and embarrassed him.
So, I was actually seduced by my own beauty?
And then he almost pushed himself down?
This is even more outrageous than the most melodramatic plot!
"Wait!" Lu Mingfei suddenly widened his eyes. "Why is the female version of me so beautiful, while I look like this now?"
The system emitted an electronic sound that resembled a sneer:
[What Lu Mingfei displayed was the perfect form of your bloodline being 100% awakened.]
[Only three people in the entire dragon race possess such pure bloodline!]
The system's voice suddenly turned serious.
[Your bloodline has been artificially suppressed over the years, which is why your appearance is no different from that of an ordinary person.]
Lu Mingfei subconsciously touched his face, and the image of Chu Zihang's handsome face, which made all the girls in the school scream, appeared in his mind.
Once your bloodline begins to awaken
The system's tone carried a hint of seduction.
Your appearance will gradually transform, eventually becoming even more stunning than Chu Zihang's.
When you are fully awakened, only two people in the entire world can compare to you!
Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up instantly, but the next second—
Of course, this is on the premise that you can change your cowardly, pathetic, shameless, and lazy habits!
Otherwise, I can't guarantee you'll still be yourself after you fully awaken!
The system mercilessly poured cold water on Lu Mingfei, causing him to immediately wilt.
Chu Zihang frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on Lu Mingfei, whose expression was changing on the ground.
A strange sense of familiarity welled up inside him—he felt as if he had seen this scene somewhere before.
"Déjà vu..." he murmured the word to himself.
That eerie sense of familiarity with a scene I've never experienced before is now clearly lingering in my mind.
At this moment, Liu Miaomiao also quietly came to Chu Zihang's side.
She tilted her head, scrutinizing the expressive Lu Mingfei on the ground with the look of someone who was treating her like she was crazy, and couldn't help but mutter to herself:
"What on earth is wrong with this guy... He's really embarrassing himself."
Although her voice was soft, it snapped Lu Mingfei back to his senses.
He scratched his head awkwardly, chuckled sheepishly as he got up from the ground, cursing the system in his heart—it was all this damn system's fault for making him look bad in front of the two of them!
[Time to go! Don't forget your afternoon tasks!]
The system's urging was like a pardon for Lu Mingfei.
He had no real connection with Chu Zihang to begin with; his trip to pick him up was purely a task assigned by the system.
The entire process of picking up Chu Zihang was handled by the system; he was essentially just a "mascot."
"Um... Senior brother," Lu Mingfei said with a forced laugh as he backed towards the door, "I have something to do this afternoon, so I'll be leaving now! You get some rest!"
Chu Zihang nodded expressionlessly: "Okay."
Seeing that Lu Ming insisted on leaving, Liu Miaomiao was at a loss.
She wanted to stay and spend more time with Chu Zihang, but she was also afraid of the awkwardness of being alone with a man and a woman in a room.
Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she anxiously watched Lu Mingfei's retreating figure, wanting to say something to stop him.
