The Exchange Game Starting with Lu Mingfei

Chapter 24 Capture Successful

"You just don't remember anything right now, but as long as we start learning from scratch, you'll definitely be able to learn cultivation."

Let's start by learning about meridians and acupoints!

Lu Mingfei nodded honestly.

In the past, not studying would at most result in failing a course. Although the dragon-slaying courses taught at Kassel College were indeed useful, they were only good for fighting corrupted hybrids and Deadpools, or at most, second-generation species. When facing the Dragon King, Lu Mingfei had to pay for the Little Devil to fight for him.

Therefore, whether or not he studies it is not the most important thing for Lu Mingfei.

Things are different now. In order to go back, and because he carries Huo Yuhao's destiny, he must learn the most basic cultivation skills no matter what.

He doesn't want Huo Yuhao to save his soul while he's slaying the dragon, only for him to ruin Huo Yuhao's reputation and lose everything.

Even Lu Mingfei has a sense of shame, okay?

As for becoming a god to complete the project... Lu Mingfei had no choice but to take it one step at a time.

"I'm counting on you from now on, Wang Qiu'er!"

Wang Qiu'er's feelings were still complicated, but when she looked at Huo Yuhao's face, she suddenly laughed.

Regardless, Huo Yuhao is hers now!

----------

【What does Tsukuyomi's fate mean?】 Huo Yuhao stood in front of Erii's hospital room—a vault door 20 centimeters thick—and sent one last message to the little devil.

The little devil replied quickly: [Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo are the three supreme gods in Japanese mythology.]

Huo Yuhao was unfamiliar with the myths and legends of this other world, but after seeing the little devil's explanation, he suddenly understood.

The head of the Uesugi family is the new generation leader of the Hebi-Hachi family. The only person of similar age and status to her is the current head of the family, Genjiro.

But since the little devil mentioned three names, it means that there is another person in the Snake-Headed Eight Family with a status equal to these two!

Do the Eight Families of the Serpent Clan still have hidden cards up their sleeves?

Huo Yuhao remained silent.

We need to thoroughly investigate what exactly happened to the Snake-Ghost Eight Family on the day he arrived.

Huo Yuhao pushed open the door and saw Tsukuyomi, who was fast asleep.

Her condition was indeed poor; the bluish-black veins on her fair neck were extremely conspicuous, and the surging, violent energy within them forced her into a passive slumber.

The bloodline of dragons is powerful, but also brutal.

Because they couldn't control their own energy, their minds were corrupted by dragon blood, ultimately turning them into mindless zombies.

Dragon blood is like a poisoned weapon to hybrids; the more they use it, the faster they die.

Huo Yuhao felt that this dragon blood was much gentler than the soul ring.

After all, if one overestimates their abilities and tries to absorb a soul ring that they cannot contain, they are very likely to explode and die. Dragon blood can at least prolong their life for a while.

Forcibly incorporating powers that don't belong to you comes at a price. But falling from grace doesn't mean you're completely dead, does it?

However, there are already many ways to increase the acceptable age of a spirit ring, but it seems that hybrids have not yet found a way to reconcile with themselves.

Of course, hybrids have also tried to find ways to strengthen themselves beyond dragon blood, and technology is one of them.

But that's looking outwards, not inwards.

When will humans be able to achieve mechanical ascension and abandon their physical bodies? Perhaps then we'll have found the right path.

【capture】.

Huo Yuhao recalled the word the little devil had used.

So he sat quietly by Erii's bedside until a dead servant rushed in and woke Erii up.

Erii has a pair of deep rose-red eyes. Her gaze is empty, innocent, and seemingly detached from worldly affairs.

Just as the snake-like Deadpool was about to slash Huo Yuhao's throat with its claws, Erii spoke.

"die."

Huo Yuhao had learned this word in the Dragon Language at the last minute, so when that obscure and ancient syllable was uttered, the serpentine dead servant seemed to be cut by countless sharp blades, turning into a sky full of blood mist in an instant.

Huo Yuhao was puzzled.

Why didn't Erii just kill Huo Yuhao as well?

Was it just because Lu Mingfei gave her a hug while she was underwater?

Judging from the furnishings of this room, it seems that Uesugi Erii, the head of the Hebi-hachi family, is not doing well.

Huo Yuhao had no way of knowing whether she was staying here because of poor health and the need for frequent treatment, or because she was being treated as...

A ghost.

The Uesugi family, the sole heir among the top three of the Eight Families of the Snake Clan, and Tsukuyomi, whose bloodline is of the highest caliber, is not only a lone commander but also a prisoner.

Huo Yuhao could understand the thoughts of the Snake Clan.

Erii Uesugi's Word of Power is simply too powerful, a trump card akin to a nuclear bomb, and the Snake Clan is unwilling to give it up.

But they were worried that Erii Uesugi would lose control, so they imprisoned her here, keeping her in this place that was both a hospital and a prison, releasing her to carry out missions whenever needed.

and so……

A weapon does not require excessive emotion or wisdom.

Huo Yuhao took out the rubber duck and handed it to Erii, who had no expression on her face: "We've met before, at the bottom of the sea."

Erii's eyes lit up when she saw the rubber duck. She suddenly came to life, carefully scanning Huo Yuhao's entire body before reaching out to ruffle his hair, and then revealing a faint smile.

Huo Yuhao was puzzled. He remained motionless and let Erii do as she pleased, knowing that he was not strong enough to resist and that the child meant no harm.

If she wanted to kill herself, she wouldn't have bothered with all this.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao looked at the girl's slender fingers. Her nails were trimmed very neatly. Although they were already quite long, they had obviously grown too fast due to the influence of her dragon transformation.

Fine, pale dragon scales began to grow on the back of her hands and wrists.

Huo Yuhao was taken aback.

Not Black Scales?

Aren't all dragons descended from the Black Emperor Nidhogg?

Although there are indeed dragons of other colors, Lu Mingfei saw a red dragon cub when he enrolled in school.

However, almost all Deadpools, after falling, seemed to be covered in pure black scales. In any case, Huo Yuhao did not see any other colors in Lu Mingfei's memories.

This Japanese branch has so many secrets.

Huo Yuhao smiled at the girl in the white nightgown and said, "Eri, would you like to leave here with me?"

Erii was holding the rubber duck and placing it on Huo Yuhao's messy head, admiring it, when she suddenly heard Huo Yuhao say this, and she jumped out of bed.

Huo Yuhao was led away from the "vault" by her wrist. They walked along a long path, and Erii opened a wooden sliding door, pointing to the tatami floor and indicating that Huo Yuhao should sit and wait for her.

She went into the inner room and then came out wearing only her underwear.

Huo Yuhao was taken aback, then quickly looked down at the ground.

After Erii changed into a red and white shrine maiden outfit as if no one else was around, she took out a small notebook, wrote something on it, and handed it to Huo Yuhao:

Go out to play while your brother isn't around.

Huo Yuhao's lips curled up.

Tsukuyomi's destiny, captured successfully!
