“However,” she changed the subject, “you don’t need to worry, he won’t make a move anytime soon, so you can stay here without worry.”
Lu Mingfei felt his heart leap into his throat and then sink into it again.
Su Youli looked out the window and sighed softly:
"Alright, I should go now. If I stay too long, Xuanling will come looking for me."
"Is my sister leaving already?" Erii asked softly.
Su Youli patted her head:
"Yes, the boss has already left, I have to go with him."
"Remember, before you meet Lu Mingfei in real life, don't tell anyone about the dream, not even your brother."
Erii nodded: "I understand, I will definitely keep it a secret!"
She turned to Lu Mingfei, her tone turning cold:
“Lu Mingfei, listen to me: protect her, otherwise, no one in heaven or on earth can protect you.”
"I will definitely do it!" Lu Mingfei said resolutely.
Su Youli added at the end, "Here's a little bonus for you."
"Kassel College, you don't have to join, but as long as you stand by Erii's side, they will become your enemies sooner or later!"
"Once you cross paths, feelings will develop. If you can't bring yourself to do it, you'll end up hurting her!"
Before she finished speaking, she had already turned and left cleanly and decisively.
The door is closed.
Lu Mingfei hugged himself, feeling even colder.
Chapter 44 If he fails...
Although Su Youli didn't say much, Lu Mingfei understood:
Her focus has always been on Erii.
This led him to a guess:
If the "boss" she mentioned is System Bro—Lu Mingfei from another world—then the person that "boss" cares about is very likely Erii from another world.
If Erii were to get into trouble here... Lu Mingfei had no doubt that the system would immediately appear and eliminate him.
Things seem to be clear now.
As for Xuanling's words? Lu Mingfei didn't take them to heart at all.
He was more willing to believe in another version of himself than in a complete stranger.
Odin's threat has been temporarily relieved, and he can stay at the Liu family's residence.
As for the Kassel College that Su Youli mentioned at the end.
Lu Mingfei racked his brains for a long time before finally grasping at that tiny clue.
Chu Zihang seems to be a student of Kassel.
This means that if things continue like this, Senior Brother Chu will eventually become his enemy.
Then he should try to gauge Chu Zihang's opinion as soon as possible.
Erii quietly watched Lu Mingfei, who was trembling, hugging him, and finally couldn't hold back anymore.
She took off her coat, then moved closer to Lu Mingfei, wrapping them both in the coat. She also grabbed a blanket from the side and wrapped it around their feet.
The temperature seems to have warmed up a bit.
Lu Mingfei interrupted his thoughts, looking at the beautiful woman so close to him, her gaze so pure and innocent.
Lu Mingfei recalled the conversation between Erii and Su Youli earlier; the two clearly knew each other, and a question arose in his mind:
"Eri, is that the older sister named Su Youli who told you to go find the knight?"
"Yes! A super pretty older sister!" Erii said confidently.
Lu Mingfei was taken aback—Su Youli was indeed beautiful, but she was a little short of "super beautiful"...
strangeness……
Could it be that Erii sees Su Youli differently?
The mystery... has grown even more.
……
On the mountaintop where the cold wind howls, a giant dragon mountain range stretches for thousands of miles, lying between heaven and earth.
The entire mountain range is composed of red and white colors, and from a distance it looks like an ancient dragon raising its head to the sky, with its body hidden in the clouds and its open mouth seemingly letting out a silent roar to the heavens.
At the tip of a dragon's blood-red whiskers, a young man in black sat quietly, his slender fingers toying with a jade pendant that shimmered with black and white light.
His gaze pierced through the sea of clouds, fixed on the distant, faintly visible black sphere—that enormous black shadow half-hidden in the mist, like a miniature black hole suspended between heaven and earth.
Light footsteps came from behind.
Su Youli walked on air, her chestnut hair fluttering in the cold wind, as if she were stepping on invisible stairs.
She landed lightly on the dragon whiskers behind the young man, the crimson whiskers remaining perfectly still.
"Is the matter settled?" the young man asked without turning his head, his voice carried away by the mountain wind.
"It's done." Su Youli reached out and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, revealing her fair profile.
"You've also been to the Liu family's place?"
"It has been explained clearly."
The young man paused slightly on the jade pendant in his fingertip: "What is their impression of Lu Mingfei?"
“Very satisfied.” Su Youli’s lips curled up slightly. “That child is much more reliable than I imagined.”
The young man in black stood up, stretched, and the jade pendant twirled between his fingers.
"Let's go then."
As he turned around, the mountain wind lifted the corner of his clothes.
“Boss…” Su Youli hesitated before speaking.
"It's about Xuanling, isn't it?" A knowing glint flashed in the young man's eyes. "I already know."
His gaze returned to the black ball in the distance.
"If he fails..."
The young man in black waved his hand casually, his tone somewhat nonchalant:
"Then we're doomed. Those old geezers who hold grudges won't let this opportunity pass them by."
He gazed at the distant sea of clouds, his eyes suddenly becoming profound:
"They will definitely revert this universe back to its original state and completely erase the possibility of 'Lu Mingfei' existing."
The mountain wind suddenly turned fierce, causing their robes to flutter loudly.
Su Youli's pupils contracted slightly. She knew clearly what this meant—not only Lu Mingfei, but the fate of the entire world would be rewritten.
The young man suddenly chuckled softly, and the jade pendant on his fingertip reflected a strange halo of light in the sunlight:
"But it doesn't matter, I've seen too much of this kind of world anyway."
"By the way," the young man suddenly changed the subject, the jade pendant on his fingertip stopping its spinning, "would you like to go see Mu?"
"No need!"
The young man looked directly into the other person's eyes: "Are you sure?"
"When I chose to follow you away, I was already prepared to never see you again."
The mountain wind suddenly turned fierce, causing their robes to flutter loudly.
The jade pendant in the young man's hand gleamed faintly, reflecting his thoughtful expression.
After a moment of silence, he nodded slightly, bringing the topic to a permanent close.
……
Inside the Liu family mansion, a crystal chandelier cast a soft, warm light, bathing Lu Mingfei's room in a hazy glow.
The boy was sprawled out on the down comforter, with half of his body hanging off the edge of the bed.
Suddenly, he unconsciously rolled over and landed with a "plop" on the thick wool carpet.
"Hiss—" Lu Mingfei sat up, rubbing his aching forehead, and looked around sleepily.
He subconsciously pinched his cheek, and the real pain instantly brought him to his senses.
"came back?"
Memories from the dream came flooding back like a tide.
He remembered that he was thinking about the mysterious girl, but somehow he fell asleep—although it didn't seem quite accurate to describe that state as "asleep".
His gaze swept eagerly toward the bed, and Lu Mingfei suddenly froze.
He clearly remembered placing the black and white jade pendant in the center of the bed before he lost consciousness, but now it was empty, with only the messy bedding proving that he had indeed returned.
"It's gone?" The boy knelt on the carpet, unwilling to give up, and carefully searched under the covers, even checking under the bed.
Cold sweat slid down his back; the important token that could connect him to Xuanling had simply vanished into thin air.
Within seconds, Lu Mingfei had put the matter out of his mind.
The feud between System Bro and the Palace of Fixed Boundaries is far beyond his current ability to intervene.
Those things can be wiped out with a flick of a finger. Instead of worrying about them, it's better to just survive and develop your strength.
He stood up and then noticed that it was already broad daylight outside the window.
The boy frowned – he had only been in the dream for a dozen minutes, but in reality, a whole night had passed.
Pushing open the window, the chill of the early morning rushed in.
