Dragon Raja: The Divine Man Lu Mingfei

Chapter 26: Giving a Golden Retriever a Sense of Participation

At night, the city lights outside the presidential suite shimmered like God's palette had been overturned, dyeing the black velvet night sky with vibrant colors.

Beyond the expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, past the gilded window frames, the first thing that catches the eye is the cluster of skyscrapers in the CBD. Under the illumination of the lights, the glass curtain walls resemble giant mirrors, reflecting the passion of red, the depth of blue, and the allure of purple.

The presidential suite was filled with an alluring atmosphere, creating an eerie contrast with the neon lights and hustle and bustle outside the window.

The crystal chandelier was dimmed to its lowest setting, its warm yellow light filtering through the frosted lampshade and casting dappled shadows on the carpet, like crumbled moonlight. The air was thick with the spiciness of spirits and the sweetness of rose perfume, the two scents intertwined, much like the atmosphere in the room—a dangerously alluring scent.

Sword Immortal Nuonuo was locked in a fierce battle with the demonic cultivator Lu Mingfei, wielding her immortal sword. The sword light and demonic energy clashed and collided, causing the surrounding clouds to churn. Just then, the communication jade talisman at her waist suddenly emitted a rapid buzzing, interrupting their entanglement.

Nono and Lu Mingfei were evenly matched, but this moment of distraction put her at a disadvantage. Lu Mingfei seized the opportunity, his demonic energy surging as he aimed directly at her face, catching her completely off guard. Nono hurriedly raised her sword to parry, and while regaining her balance, she tapped a jade talisman with her fingertip, diverting her attention to answer a message, her tone tinged with impatience: "What is it? I'm busy right now."

"Nono, how's the new student enrollment going?" A cheerful voice from a blond, handsome man came from the other end of the communication jade talisman.

"You should ask the professors about this. I'm just here to make up the numbers, how would I know the details?" Nono replied irritably while waving her sword to block Lu Mingfei's attack.

"But I heard that Professor Guderian has entrusted you with the entire follow-up work. Didn't you receive a message?" The blond handsome man's voice was even more puzzled.

"Huh?" Nuonuo was taken aback, her attack a beat too slow, and she almost got hit by Lu Mingfei's demonic energy. She quickly took a few steps back and transmitted her voice to Lu Mingfei, "What happened? How come I didn't know about this?"

Lu Mingfei shrugged, the long whip formed from demonic energy swayed, and replied telepathically, "That's right, I was too busy to tell you before."

She picked up the communication jade talisman again and said, "I understand. The professor said that our S-class students have been approved for admission. I just need to help him complete the remaining procedures."

The blond heartthrob didn't press her about why she'd only seen the message now. In his memory, the red-haired little witch had always been this carefree—maybe she was busy fiddling with some new gadget and forgot to check her phone, or maybe she'd had too much fun the night before and slept until late morning. This unpredictable quality about her was like a Pandora's box containing countless secrets, yet it fascinated him utterly.

"Alright, then I'll leave this to you." The blond handsome guy's voice deepened, becoming more serious. "Remember, try your best to get him into the student council. Even if that doesn't work, you absolutely cannot let him go to the Lionheart Society."

Nono rolled her eyes, but said dismissively, "Okay, okay, I'll try my best."

After hanging up the communication jade talisman, Nuonuo looked down at Lu Mingfei: "Did you hear that? I want to recruit you into the student council. How about it? Interested? By the way, I'm also in the student council."

Lu Mingfei's tone was completely flat: "Not interested." He paused, then raised an eyebrow as if suddenly remembering something and asked, "Was the person who called just now your boyfriend you mentioned before?"

Nono immediately smiled mischievously and asked, "Jealous?"

"I wouldn't say I'm jealous," Lu Mingfei said seriously, stroking his chin. "It's just that... it seems pretty good this way."

"Ew—you have such strange interests." Nono slapped him dismissively, but couldn't help but smile. "But don't worry, there won't be another chance. I'll break up with him when I get back."

"Oh," Lu Mingfei drawled, a clear look of regret on his face.

Seeing his expression, Nuonuo was speechless, not knowing what to say to him.

Just as she was about to reach out and pinch him, Lu Mingfei suddenly spoke again, his tone unusually serious: "By the way, is Caesar a member of that Gattuso family?"

Nono nodded: "Yeah, what? You're not thinking of causing trouble for the Gattuso family, are you?" As she said this, her eyes lit up, and her face instantly showed that kind of anticipation that made her want to stir up trouble, like a little devil waiting to see a good show.

Lu Mingfei didn't respond to her question, but instead frowned and asked, "Tell me first, what exactly is the background of the Gattuso family?"

"I don't know much either," Nono tilted her head, recalling. "I only heard that they used to be part of the Italian Mafia, but they went straight and are now top Italian conglomerates, ridiculously rich, and considered leaders in the dragon-slaying world. Oh, and they're also one of the board members behind Kassel College..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Wait a minute," Lu Mingfei suddenly interrupted Nuonuo's statement, "What did you just say? Slaying dragons? What does that mean?" He even subconsciously picked at his ear, wondering if he had misheard.

"It means exactly what it says." Nono was taken aback by his reaction, then seemed to suddenly understand, and asked with wide eyes, "You don't still not know what Kassel College is, do you?"

"I haven't actually asked in detail," Lu Mingfei said frankly. "Isn't it a school that trains hybrid elites to contribute to human civilization?"

"Of course not." Nono sat up straight and said, word by word, "The sole purpose of Kassel College is—to slay dragons."

Lu Mingfei was completely stunned. According to his understanding from his previous life, such an elite academy full of mixed-race individuals must exist to protect human civilization and promote the development of the race. After all, the original intention of the academies he led the founding of was the same.

But now he's being told that the school was actually established to slay dragons. Lu Mingfei laughed, a laugh of anger.
