Chapter 44 Board of Directors
The canteen quickly delivered eggs. Although they didn't know what S-rank needed eggs for, they did as instructed, since this person was currently the one with the highest authority on the ship.
After seeing the cafeteria staff off, Lu Mingfei cracked the eggs and poured the egg liquid into a bowl.
Seeing that the small white snake in front of him remained motionless despite the temptation of food, he poked its triangular little head with his finger.
But the little white snake remained motionless. If Lu Mingfei hadn't confirmed that it still had some consciousness when he found it, he probably would have thought it was a dead creature.
Seeing that his method had not worked, an idea struck him.
A thin black tentacle extended from his fingertip, first gently tapping the little white snake's head, then carefully attaching itself to it.
A wisp of pure dragon blood essence was transferred to Lu Mingfei through the tentacles. This was something he had absorbed from Chen Wenwen in Bronze City.
The originally domineering and complex dragon blood transformed into the purest and most refined dragon blood essence after circulating within his body.
Lu Mingfei originally wanted to name this thing Dragon Essence, but after thinking it over, he felt that the name was not quite right, so he gave up the idea.
As the dragon blood essence was poured in, the little white snake's body trembled slightly. Seeing this, Lu Mingfei had a thought and withdrew the black tentacles.
After a dozen or so breaths, the little white snake's trembling body suddenly stiffened, then relaxed again. It opened its pair of crimson-gold eyes, and its white scales shone brightly under the light.
Lu Mingfei reached out and pushed the egg mixture in the bowl towards him.
"Eat."
The little white snake remained motionless upon hearing this, simply staring blankly at him, seemingly not understanding what "eat" meant.
Lu Mingfei frowned slightly. He grabbed the small white snake with his large hand, lifted it up, and threw it directly into the bowl.
The golden egg liquid enveloped the small snake, but slid off its body after a few moments.
The small white snake shook its head, seemingly unaware of its surroundings, and struggled to crawl around the bowl, attempting to escape the cage that imprisoned it.
However, the slippery bowl surface caused it to fail time and time again.
Only after falling to the bottom of the bowl again did the small white snake, covered in egg liquid, raise its head.
A rare hint of confusion appeared in those usually lifeless, crimson-gold eyes.
Where am I?
Xia Mi stared at the strange space in front of her, still not fully awake for a while.
Her consciousness remained stuck at the moment when Angers activated his Word of Power.
Unexpectedly, even she, a genuine Dragon King, was not immune to this old man's incantation.
So, did she eventually expose her identity and get captured by Kassel College, and imprisoned in some secret experimental research institute?
But there is no place in the world where she can be imprisoned.
As the queen of the earth and mountains, she can easily find the weak point of everything in the world and then destroy it.
Xia Mi blinked.
But the scene before her eyes hadn't changed at all. Could it be that her abilities had failed?
Xia Mi's heart sank. In her panic, she saw her own tail.
The tail swayed back and forth as she directed it, while the limbs that should have been there remained unresponsive.
Using the reflection from the bowl, Xia Mi finally saw her own appearance: a delicate-looking little white snake.
She was silent.
Then I started to get a little frantic.
She finally recalled the scene before she lost consciousness.
The dog, Angers, used the power of words to tear through her appearance and pierce her third eye.
Although she didn't die on the spot for some reason, her strength declined, and she eventually became what she is now.
"Eat quickly." A voice came from above her head. Xia Mi looked up blankly and saw Lu Mingfei's big face.
At this moment, the other party truly seemed like a god, looking down upon her, this tiny and insignificant creature.
Lu Mingfei frowned slightly. Seeing that the little white snake he had picked up still refused to eat, he lost his patience.
He decided to make one last attempt. If the other party still refused to comply, he would have no choice but to consider adding another dish to tonight's menu.
If it's a spirit pet, then cooking it should make it a highly nutritious food.
Lu Mingfei pressed his finger down, pushing the little white snake's head into the egg liquid.
Xia Mi looked at the giant finger falling from the sky and tried to dodge, but she couldn't do it at all.
Her frail body simply couldn't allow her to make any movements.
The little white snake was roughly pressed down in an instant and a large mouthful of egg liquid was forcibly poured into its mouth.
"Why isn't it eating yet?" Lu Mingfei muttered to himself, looking at the little white snake that seemed to be choking. Since that was the case, there was no other way.
He picked up the phone receiver on the table and dialed the cafeteria's number.
"Hey, cafeteria? I have a... "
Lu Mingfei's voice stopped abruptly, because right there in that big bowl, the little white snake was diligently sucking the egg liquid.
Xia Mi swallowed hard, and after hearing the phone call to the cafeteria, she immediately understood what Lu Mingfei meant.
This is meant to be snake soup! Seeing that she would become someone else's meal if she didn't submit, she had no choice but to abandon her honor as the Dragon King and swallow this condescending food.
"It's alright now."
Seeing that the little guy had started eating, Lu Mingfei gave a few perfunctory replies about the cafeteria and then hung up the phone.
He reached out and touched the little white snake's head. After trembling a few times, the snake did not resist.
Hmm? It's already quite spiritual?
Xia Mi endured Lu Mingfei's massive finger massage, a tear of grievance welling up in her crimson-gold eyes.
Until she regains her full strength, she can only choose to endure for the time being.
if only……
Just wait for her to regain her strength!
She must make...
Lu Mingfei's fingers pushed her head into the egg liquid.

Inside a conference room across the ocean.
An elderly man dressed in a black suit with a red handkerchief tucked into his breast pocket stared at the screen in front of him with a cold gaze.
"The Kuimen Project has come to a complete failure at this point."
"Angers, as the principal of the Kassel College, cannot shirk responsibility for the root cause of its failure, but given that he has lost the ability to fulfill his duties, we will not pursue it for the time being."
"But the board of directors absolutely cannot let this matter go unaddressed."
He paused in his speech, using the brief moment to observe the expressions on everyone's faces on the screen.
Although Kassel College is called a university, it is actually a military camp that trains dragon slayers.
Over the course of time, it has also been known by another name: the Secret Society.
This organization, which has existed for over a thousand years, possesses iron-like strict discipline, and exists solely for the purpose of slaying dragons, has a council of elders composed of representatives from various hybrid families as its highest leadership body.
Over time, they evolved into the Board of Trustees of Kassel College.
In other words, the Board of Trustees is the real power behind the scenes at the college, and Hilbert Jean Angers is merely a representative they have jointly elected.
"I have finished speaking. Let's begin the vote," Frost Gattuso said in a deep voice, seeing that none of the school board members on the screen voiced any objections.
He was the patriarch of the Gattuso family and also Caesar's uncle.
The vote was passed quickly.
Despite the dissenting and abstention votes, Frost's proposal was passed.
However, just as he was feeling smug, a emotionless female voice rang out.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Frost, your proposal cannot be passed without a vote from the principal of Kassel College," said Norma, the college's AI secretary.
