Who could that be?
Could it be the traitor Friedrich who was being hunted by the principal?
The scene of his visit to Tokyo and his contact with Tachibana Masamune flashed quickly through Lu Mingfei’s mind.
He seemed to know something and deliberately wanted to keep Eiry by Lu Mingfei's side. Could this be the last revival of humanity in this despicable villain's life?
Or……
"Lu Mingfei, do you want a Coke? There's a freezer in the back." Nuo Nuo's voice came from behind the seat. There was a small window on the partition, and the little witch looked over here slyly from inside.
"No need, senior sister. I'm drinking." Lu Mingfei showed his senior sister the bottle of wine in his hand, then loosened his seat belt to make his breathing smoother.
Nuo Nuo's sudden voice interrupted Lu Mingfei's thoughts. He exhaled slowly, feeling a slight chill in his heart, and realized that there might be some problems with the property purchased by Frost.
"Well, junior brother, you actually drank secretly behind our backs." Nuo Nuo glared at him with bared teeth and closed the small window with a click.
At this time, the Hummer had started and merged into the traffic following the sign. Directly in front of the road, a group of low gray-white buildings rose from the horizon.
Sapporo Airport is not in the city, and the population density of the nearby towns is quite high.
"Forget it, just take us directly to the train station. We probably won't be leaving Lake Akan in the short term." Lu Mingfei smiled at the driver.
The driver hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, I shouldn't say much about this matter, but Mr. Frost has prepared the freshest ingredients for you and your friends..."
Lu Mingfei could imagine what kind of high-end fresh ingredients the driver was talking about, such as Boston blue lobsters airlifted from the west coast of the United States, lively Arctic cod, or 200-kilogram bluefin tuna that could only be seen across half the world.
Lu Mingfei was not moved by this, even though the guy who tampered with the car probably wouldn't be stupid enough to leave hidden dangers in the property. But after experiencing dangers and hardships that ordinary people could hardly imagine, Lu Mingfei had developed a vigilance comparable to that of a wild animal.
"No, please take us to the train station. We'll need you to drive us to our destination. I heard that public transportation in Hokkaido is not well developed. We still need your help to travel."
"Please don't say that, this is my job." The driver was a little nervous.
The trunk of the car is decorated with cherry wood and snow-white elk leather, and passengers who get on the car have to change into disposable slippers.
Eri and Constantine put their heads together and whispered something, Rei was reading a Hokkaido travel magazine, and Nono was gulping down an iced Coke.
The glittering wine glasses in the wine cabinet clinked with the shaking of the car body. Above the wide seats was a suspended 42-inch super-large projection screen, which could actually be connected to the Internet. Xia Mi searched for pirated movie websites on the Internet and found a movie called "Spider-Man" and watched it with relish. In her hand, she was holding macadamia nuts that she had found in the cabinet next to her and was chewing them like a squirrel.
No one except Nuonuo noticed that a golden glow flashed in the girl's eyes. Her lips moved. She was not chewing nuts, but reciting the words of the Eye of the Wind King. However, the speed was so fast that Nuonuo only thought she said one word.
The Dragon King's physiological structure and auditory system are completely different from those of humans. The infrasound waves that neither Nuo Nuo nor even Lu Mingfei can capture can be easily heard by Xia Mi.
The moment Lu Mingfei was affected by the sound of the bangzi, Xia Mi had already destroyed an infrasonic transmitter.
But the guy who designed the trap obviously anticipated this happening, so he embedded at least four similar transmitters into the inner wall of the Hummer.
After one was destroyed, the other immediately started working and continued to exert its influence on Lu Mingfei.
Xia Mi hummed softly and guided another spiritual fragment that she had left long ago into Lu Mingfei's body, replacing Lu Mingfei to resist the influence of the clapper sound.
Fortunately, I am smart and have anticipated this, otherwise all kinds of monsters would dare to target my man’s body, right?
After doing all this, Xia Mi lazily curled up in the corner of the chair, looking up at Andrew Garfield who was being beaten black and blue by the lizard man, and for some reason she began to chuckle.
"What's so funny?" Nuonuo curled his lips.
"Don't you think that lizard man looks a lot like us? A reptilian alien, the sense of substitution is very strong, senior sister!" Xia Mi opened her round eyes wide, reached out and hugged Nuonuo's arm, twisting and turning like a little caterpillar and twisting into Nuonuo's arms.
-----------------
Gudan Hot Spring, a lush holly forest meanders along the hillside in front of you into the distance. The lake adjacent to it is not vast, but quiet and distant. A thin white vapor floats on the lake, and the farther you look, the thicker it becomes, as if you are in the clouds.
This is Lake Akan.
Located in the eastern part of Hokkaido, Japan, it is a natural lake with a circumference of 30 kilometers and a maximum depth of 45 meters.
The largest Ainu tribe lives nearby. The village is centered around a memorial tower called the Wind of the Earth built on the square, and is filled with folk craft shops of various storefronts.
The Ainu people of this tribe called Lake Akan "Ma Lake", which means "the life-giving lake", but this term has gradually disappeared from this world with the popularization of industrialization in recent years.
It was already night when they arrived here. Before that, Lu Mingfei called Yuan Zhisheng.
Who knew that the guy would turn around and hand the phone to the Yasha beside him, who then let Lu Mingfei truly experience the essence of a Japanese greeting, allowing him to understand the thirty-six uses and forty-two ways of forming sentences of the word Bakayaro in just ten minutes.
Finally, Yuan Zhisheng calmly took back his phone and asked Lu Mingfei what he wanted to do.
Lu Mingfei said that he brought Eri to Hokkaido to take a hot spring bath, and asked the Sheqi family to clear the area around the Gudan Hot Spring. Yuan Zhisheng was silent for two minutes. Just when Lu Mingfei thought that the matter was over, the tortoise said lightly, "It's done, you can go."
Because there was no one to disturb them, the night was so quiet that the only sounds were the wind outside the tent and the faint sound of holly branches crackling in the fire.
The tent was set up by the omnipotent driver who drove all the way from Sapporo. It was set up in the middle of an open space in a dense forest. Looking to the side, you can see the stone-built Kotan Onsen and the white swans sleeping on the huge pebbles with their heads buried under their wings.
Flocks of white swans had their feathers wet in the steam rising from the water, but it was not cold. Their white feathers were reflected on the rippling lake surface.
In the distance there is a temporary Ainu camp. The Japanese look down on these indigenous people, but they have survived the massacre many years ago and are still growing on the land where their ancestors lived.
These Ainu people, who are also reluctant to integrate into the Yamato people of Japan, wander around remote towns and cities, with no fixed place to live. They seem to be intentionally or unintentionally avoiding the census and isolating themselves from the "settled human race."
Among them are an old blacksmith from Sapporo, a mechanic who can drive and assemble parts, a sushi chef from Hakodate, and a more famous girl who is good at Ainu dance. Fortune-telling and helping local gangs fight are also one of their main skills to make a living.
"It is said that the Ainu people were on the verge of extinction after the massacre. They must have felt very insecure." Nono chatted with Ling in a casual manner. White steam enveloped their front. Snowflakes fell one after another and melted into water immediately when they landed on the girls' smooth shoulders.
"They have been wandering, and some have even crossed the sea to Siberia and settled in the cold Far East. The real Ainu don't trust other people, as if they were isolated from other races besides humans." Zero said. Her Royal Highness put a wet and cold towel on her forehead. Her long platinum hair was tied into a ball, revealing her clear jaw and pink and tender earlobes.
"It's a bit like us." Nuonuo said casually, but his eyes were looking around.
Eri was playing a naval battle game with Constantine in a one-piece swimsuit. Xiaokang actually brought a remote-controlled battleship model here.
The Royal Navy and the Iowa were each firing plastic shells at an entire area of the scorching sea, but they rarely hit each other, and even if they hit, the kinetic energy was far from enough to sink the two huge warships.
Soon, dozens of colorful plastic sticks appeared around the two warships.
After Eri finished firing her shells, she decisively maneuvered her Iowa to dart left and right to evade the Royal Navy's fierce attack. Finally, with six bullets hitting the ship's hull, she rammed the side of the Royal Navy with skills far superior to Constantine's.
The Royal Navy's tonnage was slightly smaller than that of the Iowa, and it was immediately overturned after being hit from the side. Constantine let out a sigh, and Eiry clenched her fists and jumped for joy. The cold numbness in her eyes had completely disappeared, replaced by a hazy glow like the warm sun.
"It's my turn, it's my turn, it's my turn to use Iowa!" Constantine swam towards Eri, and the two exchanged remote controls, reloaded the shells and started a new round of naval battle. A dozen swans stared with curiosity at the small plastic sticks being thrown back and forth in an arc in the low air.
"Indeed, the Ainu people are actually very lonely. They have to stick together for warmth to feel that they are still alive in this world." Ling nodded.
"As for the sorrow of blood, maybe these natives really have dragon blood flowing in their bodies." Nono still looked into the depths of the hot spring.
There is more than one spring in the hot spring ditch, and Eri and Constantine were playing in a nearby hot spring pool.
Nuonuo is looking for Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi.
"In fact, everyone is lonely, no matter if there is Blood Sorrow or not." Ling said suddenly. She remembered that when the train passed by the seaside not long ago, snowflakes were flying outside the window. The waves surged onto the shore, sweeping away the snow that had just fallen on the ground. A lonely woman stood on the shore, and she seemed to be looking at the sea alone.
How could there be someone watching the sea alone? It is so cold and lonely to watch the sea alone in the snow. I feel so lonely that I want to cry.
Zero scooped up a towel from the shore and stood up from the hot spring water.
"You can't tell that your breasts are so big." Nuo Nuo pretended to look lewd, and Ling's pretty face blushed slightly, which was rare.
She was really only wearing a bikini that covered her important parts. Her skin was white and glowed with a fluorescent beauty. Her waist was slender, her calves were tight, and her neck was long like a beautiful swan.
"Nineteen-year-old girls should have grown up, and you have a great figure, senior sister." Ling said lightly.
Nono was stunned and saw Ling had already climbed onto the shore.
"I roasted sweet potatoes on the campfire. Do you want some, senior sister?" Ling blinked and turned back to look into Nuo Nuo's eyes.
"Okay, thank you." Nuonuo nodded.
"I want one too, I want one too!" Constantine leaned on the stone with both hands and looked over here. Zero quickly wrapped the bath towel more tightly.
She looked at Eri, and sure enough, she saw that the little girl also had a look of anticipation on her face.
Ling then walked barefoot towards the bonfire burning beside the tent. The fine and soft snow was crushed tightly by her feet, and her small and pretty feet were a little red from the cold.
She squatted down in front of the fire, expressionlessly, and used tongs to pick out a few tinfoil balls buried in the holly charcoal fire. She put them on the snow and stones to cool a little, blew on them in her hands, and then stood up wrapped in a towel.
But she had sharp ears and suddenly heard some strange noises coming from the hot spring on the other side, so she quietly went over.
"Hey, hey, Lu Mingfei, don't do anything stupid. Ling and Eri are nearby..."
"Junior sister, you are afraid too?"
"Hehe, do you think you are the only one who is so thick-skinned that you can run a horse? No, you are not allowed to touch me. I'm telling you..."
"Does this count as touching?"
"Lu Mingfei!"
"how about this?"
"Um……"
"Hey, Junior Sister, if we want to have a child in the future, do you think it should be oviparous or viviparous?"
“We dragons all lay eggs, but Dragon King… um… Lu Mingfei, you, you, you, you, just get down to business. Take your hands out now!”
It was Xia Mi and Lu Mingfei. Ling frowned, a little curious about what these two were doing hiding aside. Their conversation was so weird. Could they be practicing some strange magic?
Unable to suppress her curiosity, she held the roasted sweet potato and whispered two lines of dragon script, hiding herself in the shadows.
A few seconds later, Ling appeared silently near the hot spring where Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi were, crouching down and peeking inside like a thief. After just one look, his face immediately turned red from his cheeks to his ears.
Chapter 370 Xia Mi: Brother, you even bring it when taking a hot spring bath!
After taking off all his clothes in the tent, Lu Mingfei walked towards the hot spring pool wrapped in only a large bath towel.
The junior sister said she had something to talk to him about, so they deliberately chose a newly built hot spring pool, not far from Nuonuo and the others, separated by a mudflat, with tents and bonfires in the middle.
As the fire flickered, the wisps of white mist rising from the water seemed dreamy and unreal. Not far away, the voices of Nono and Ling talking in low voices and Constantine's laughter could be heard.
Hokkaido is the coldest place in Japan. The outdoor temperature is only about minus four or five degrees Celsius at this time. The cold wind from the lake brings the mist on the water and slowly turns into fine hail, which falls down on his head with a crackling sound. Together with huge snowflakes, one after another, they fall on Lu Mingfei's arms and shoulders. He shivered and quickened his pace to go to the hot spring.
Next to the hot spring is a polished oak cabinet filled with Black Dragon sake and beautifully presented sashimi.
Although Frost was a rather annoying person, and had once manipulated the school board and the elders' council to briefly take away the other six swords of the seven deadly sins except lust from Lu Mingfei, he was indeed a smooth-talking politician, and he did things flawlessly, which made people feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.
The middle-aged driver of the Hummer actually brought a whole container of supplies for Lu Mingfei and his team, mainly fresh luxury goods and boxes of fine wine that were originally transported to Hakodate by Frost.
In addition, there were blankets, sleeping bags and fruit charcoal for keeping warm. They also booked an entire hotel at the foot of the mountain for Lu Mingfei and his friends, ready to welcome the most distinguished guests.
From a few steps away, Lu Mingfei saw Xia Mi sitting on the blue stone beside the hot spring in the mist, wearing a jade-white swimsuit with a V-neck and backless design. Her two snow-white feet with a hint of pink were kicking the water out of boredom.
Her black hair fell down like a waterfall, and her whole body was dressed in the bright colors of black and white. Although she still looked like a pretty little girl and behaved like one, she had an inexplicably noble temperament.
Lu Mingfei silently watched Xia Mi's back. He saw the girl with a still tender face tilt her head to wet the ends of her hair with the hot spring water when she got tired of kicking water. Her two slender hands were curling her hair. Her shoulders were round and lonely, and her back was curvy in the moonlight, like a sculpture made of ice and jade.
The hot spring water was reflective, and the surface looked like it was coated with a layer of gold. Thin ripples spread out from Xia Mi's slender calves. Lu Mingfei sat down beside her and casually took a cup of sake from the cabinet.
He reached out to wipe off the frost on the surface of the wine cup and saw Xia Mi looking him up and down with wide eyes.
