Chapter 258: New Secrets, Treating Symptoms but Not the Root Cause
The evening breeze brings the tide, blowing away the beauty of the hot spring pool.
The girl in the pink and white swimsuit stood slender and graceful in the moonlight, standing in front of the hot-blooded young man, but she did not arouse any evil thoughts in him.
Seeing Lu Mingfei's concerned look, Huili pulled up her swim skirt awkwardly, as if trying to cover the ugly black veins on her back.
In fact, she had started to have health problems since this morning. From time to time, she felt a little weak, a little tired, and a little uncomfortable.
It's not something a girl experiences every month, it's something she experiences every week.
But the feeling was not very obvious at that time. When Lu Mingfei took her to buy a swim skirt in the afternoon, she found something strange on her back in the mirror in the changing room.
At that time, there was only a small trace, which could be covered by slightly lifting the half-back swim skirt.
I never thought that by evening, the blackness had spread to half of my back.
She didn't want Sakura to see her in this horrible state, but he had said that if there were any problems, she should speak up and he would find a way to solve them no matter how difficult they were. Keeping everything in her heart would only make things worse.
That's why she didn't go into the water in her bathrobe just now, but took off her outer clothes in front of him and exposed the ugly lines on her back to him.
Eri was actually a little worried that Sakura would think she looked scary and not pretty.
But there was nothing unusual about his expression. All that could be seen in his eyes was pity and heartache.
So she felt much more at ease and said softly:
"It started today."
With her slender hands, she grabbed the hand hanging in the air and pulled Lu Mingfei forward again. She tested the water temperature with her toes, then stepped down, soaking half of her body in the warm hot spring pool.
Seeing Lu Mingfei still standing on the shore, she exerted a little force with her hands and brought him into the water, keeping a fist's distance between them.
"It's okay. This body can't hold out for too long anyway." The girl sat in the hot spring pool, her arms wrapped around her bent legs, her face pressed against her knees, and she looked at the boy so close to her with her rosy red eyes, whispering to him in comfort:
"If you don't inject the serum, your body will deteriorate and you won't look good."
Lu Mingfei took one hand and held it, his frown still not loosening: "Is it because you used the Word Spirit before?"
Eri's bloodline is unstable, and the ability she possesses is a high-sequence, extremely dangerous word spirit.
As an upright emperor, my brother-in-law is exhausted just by opening the Gravity Field and Royal Power. Eri's words are only getting stronger, so the burden on her body will definitely be heavier.
But at that time, he dragged Eri to clear the Genji Heavy Industries underground base dungeon.
Although the output is not strong, it is still a loss after all.
Lu Mingfei held Eri's hand and gently shook it underwater:
"It has nothing to do with that. It just happens over time."
She had long been accustomed to injecting serum every few days, and now the dragon transformation phenomenon in her body had just appeared and was not serious.
At this rate, she could hold on for another two or three days, and if she gritted her teeth, she could hold on for another one or two days.
"Does it hurt?" Lu Mingfei smiled warmly, with heartache in his eyes.
"Not yet." Eri answered truthfully.
What this means is that as the dragon blood erodes the body, the pain will continue to escalate?
"Was it like this before?"
"Well, when it hurts, my brother will take me to get a serum injection."
“Is that so…” Lu Mingfei stroked the smooth and delicate back of her hand with his thumb, his eyes slightly lowered.
"But my brother rarely takes me out to play, and he doesn't have much time to play games with me." Eri pursed her lips, and her voice suddenly became a little muffled, as if she was complaining about a child who didn't have time for his parents:
“My brother is very busy, always running around outside, and when he takes me out occasionally it’s just for dinner.
Every time I go out, I have to ride in a light-proof car and wear a veil. I have to eat in a separate room and watch movies in a separate theater. It is troublesome to go shopping..."
The girl seemed to want to say something else to divert Lu Mingfei's attention, not wanting him to keep focusing on the bad things about her.
But the things she experienced personally were too few and too monotonous, repeated year after year, and listening to them only made people feel more heartbroken.
But her voice soon became cheerful: "But I had a lot of fun hanging out with Sakura. I met a lot of people and experienced a lot of things. It was a free time that I had never experienced before."
Her eyes were sparkling, reflecting the boy's tender face.
Lu Mingfei reached out and lifted up a strand of black hair floating on the water, his voice gentle but firm:
"Everything I haven't experienced before will be made up for in the future. I will accompany you."
As he spoke, he raised his hands that were clasped together underwater. Warm water drops slowly slid down his tightly clasped fingers. As they dripped onto the surface of the spring, the young man's voice rang in his ears:
"ImADoctorNotARoachJim!"
Turn on unit fast healing!
As this series of StarCraft 2 cheats were output, Eri, who felt much more comfortable while soaking in the hot spring, suddenly found that an even hotter heat was coming from her clenched hands.
It went up along her slender arm and slowly entered her body, dispelling the unpleasant fatigue and the slight pain in her waist and back bit by bit.
Her eyes, like red agate, rippled. Eri raised her face and stared at Lu Mingfei blankly. His eyes had turned into a brilliant golden color without her knowing when. He clearly exuded the majesty of an emperor, but when his eyes fell on her, there was only endless tenderness.
Feeling the negative state of her body gradually being lifted by the heat, Eri looked at Lu Mingfei with surprise:
"Sakura is amazing!"
She stood up, her curvaceous body emerged from the water, and water droplets bounced up and down.
The girl turned slightly to the side and observed her back through the broken surface of the pool. She found that the blood vessels that were originally hideous, deep and dark as if someone had injected ink into them, now turned scarlet red.
It changed from a black thorn jungle to a patchwork of red tassels.
Lu Mingfei looked at the red blood vessels whose color had stopped fading, and the slight joy in his eyes faded again.
It turns out that activating the cheat code for unit rapid healing can indeed heal Eri's body.
But the curative effect is limited, it only treats the symptoms and not the root cause.
Strictly speaking, Eri's transformation into a dragon is not a disease or injury, but an evolution towards a higher level of life.
But this evolution from human to dragon would place an extremely heavy burden on her body.
The dragon blood is forcing her to evolve to a deeper level, but the human will is resisting turning into a monster. The two completely opposite forces are fighting endlessly in her body, and the balance between humans and dragons is destroyed, so the secret of quick healing can take effect.
But that's all, this secret book can only restore the dragon blood in Eri's body to the most stable state, it cannot keep it stable all the time, over time, she will still start to evolve uncontrollably.
If we want to solve this problem from the root, we still have to start from other aspects.
"Okay, don't be so excited, be careful not to catch a cold." Lu Mingfei used force with his hands to pull Eiry back into the water to avoid staring at Wo Tao who was half wrapped in a swim skirt.
Eri sat down obediently, this time very close to him, shoulders pressed against each other, her wet hair resting on his shoulders.
"Sakura is amazing!"
The girl looked at the sea and the moon in the distance and repeated softly.
"Eri is amazing too!"
Lu Mingfei held her hand and followed her gaze towards the boundless sea in the distance.
Deep in the sea, six floating platforms built at great expense by the Snake Eight Clans are moving towards the Japan Trench.
These huge vehicles, which are usually used to explore for oil and seabed minerals, move slowly but are extremely heavy, enough to withstand a force 12 gale or even a tsunami at sea.
In a few days, these six floating platforms named "Sumeru" will be connected together to become a sea fortress in the God-Slaying War.
Near their target sea area, there are several detection ships roaming around, monitoring the movements on the seabed in real time.
Inside the Rock Flow Research Institute, many staff members were busy in an orderly manner, transporting large quantities of weapons in batches to the dock hidden in the Iron Dome Temple and installing them on ships and helicopters.
The marine exploration ship has dropped unmanned probes to the seabed more than once in the past two days, but the results have not been good.
Some of them encountered schools of fish halfway through the dive, and their shells broke and were crushed by the terrifying water pressure.
Some dived to the target sea area, but before they could capture more images, they were attacked by the sudden appearance of black shadows and were completely disconnected.
All signs indicate that there are many deadly dangers hidden under the sea.
There are many A-level hybrids among the eight Sheqi families, but not many of them can be of great use.
Ange just went to a hospital under the Snake Eight Family and saw Fujiwara Nobunosuke who was wrapped like a dumpling in the ICU ward.
After experiencing more than a hundred years of ups and downs, it didn't take the white-haired old man long to figure out the twists and turns here, and he realized that it was his dear group of pig teammates who were making trouble again.
But he did not rush to find fault with the board of directors, but instead went to the Sheqi Eight Families to find out the whole story.
Yuan Zhisheng told Angers the prepared statement he had made long ago, acting as if we were the victims, and said that he had sent his most trusted personal assistant to prevent any complications.
As a result, not only did you at Kassel Academy think about slaying the gods together and sharing the cake, you also wanted to steal people from the Eight Snake Families secretly. You are simply treating slaying the dragon as a joke.
Ange knew that Yuan Zhisheng was definitely not telling the truth, but it didn't matter.
What he really cared about was the whereabouts of Chu Zihang and Caesar. With them around, the plan to kill the gods would be more successful.
Moreover, he has some idea about the matter that the old man Uesugi Yue entrusted him with. He will go to Takama-ga-hara tomorrow to see what it is all about.
It would be best if the misunderstanding between the brothers could be resolved. If not, just let Uesugi Yue solve it himself. He can't let his children have conflicts and he, as a father, watch the show from the sidelines and let himself, an outsider, be the peacemaker.
Angers has been teaching for so many years, and he can indeed talk about some profound principles, but most of the time he prefers to talk about physics.
There's no way. The longer you stay with stupid people, the more they like simple and violent solutions.
Anyway, the Uesugi Yue bloodline is there. Although it has been abandoned for more than 60 years, the power of the imperial blood is unquestionable. It should be fine to let the two children sit down and have a good communication.
There was not a moment of sadness for Fujiwara Nobunosuke's near death, because the next person to arrive on the battlefield was the world's most powerful assassin and the strongest hybrid.
"I'm sorry that I couldn't let Mr. Ronald use his full strength..."
Takamahara Nightclub was attacked tonight and the third floor was severely damaged. In addition, police and gangsters visited the nightclub one after another. Humpback Whale had no choice but to suspend business. They promised that all bills for tonight would be free, and compensated the guests with many discounts. It was like giving away a lot of money.
Old Tang had already covered the main compensation, and in order to satisfy the creditor and stop him from asking for the money back, he even asked for a single room to provide special services.
Play together.
Longma Xun put down the broken pieces of the game controller and apologized to Lao Tang somewhat embarrassedly.
If we ignore the broken handle on the ground and the murderous intent in her eyes, perhaps Old Tang would really believe that she could afford to lose.
At the beginning, I clearly beat you up for the whole night without you saying a word. Now you are being beaten badly in the King of Fighters game where you defeated three people at once. Is it necessary for you to exude murderous aura? And it was you who asked for it, so don't let me win.
Old Tang secretly complained in his heart, but he said without a word, saying that it was your first time playing, so it was normal to be a little green, and you just needed to practice more.
At this time, a long time had passed since Fujiwara Nobunosuke's attack. Chu Zihang and Caesar rushed back after the interrogation, and took Finkel, the old man with many tricks, to the fourth floor to discuss countermeasures on how to deal with it if Angers came to their door tomorrow.
Gen Chikō continued to chat with Humpback Whale about art and flower arrangement, as if the assassination just now was not aimed at him. His calm and composed appearance made the latter only praise him for being a born gigolo.
Old Tang was in the next room. He looked disdainful when he heard this and thought to himself that he was the born cowherd.
As soon as he debuted, he was tied to a rich girl. Even if he worked hard as a gigolo or bounty hunter for his whole life, he might not earn as much as that girl in a month.
However, Tang is still very principled. He lives off his wife and does not rely on his looks but on his talent and temperament to control the eldest daughter of the Longma family.
"What?" Ryoma Xun had just received a phone call and had a strange expression on his face.
After hanging up the phone, she smiled as if God was helping me:
"What a coincidence! I was thinking about what reason I should use to stay in Takama-ga-hara, and now the best reason has been presented to me."
Just now her uncle Ryoma Genichirō called and said a lot of gibberish, the main point of which was that he wanted her to stay in Takama-ga-hara as a guard and cooperate in dealing with Principal Angers tomorrow.
Knowing that the world's strongest dragon slayer was coming to his house, Old Tang felt a little panicked for no reason. He wanted to call Lu Mingfei to ask him what to do, or else beat the guy into the hospital's ICU and put him in the bed next to Fujiwara Nobunosuke?
But the one who should worry about this is not him, but the three Cassel aces upstairs.
He is just a homebody. He eats and drinks as he pleases, and doesn't take anything to heart.
"Come on, continue." Old Tang picked up the third game controller and handed it to Longma Xun, "This is the last one, be gentle."
