Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei, Starting as a Seeker of the Law

Chapter 4: Can I never speak to Chen Wenwen again?

"Okay, get out of class dismissed."

Lu Mingfei slunk his head, stuffed the books on the table into his schoolbag, and prepared to make a run for it.

"Lu Mingfei?"

The voice, which had appeared countless times in the boy's dreams and was so distinctive that he could never mistake it, interrupted Lu Mingfei's actions.

It's Chen Wenwen!

The white cotton coat stopped in front of Lu Mingfei, and long black hair fell onto the clothes, with even the curls and twists of the hair clearly visible. He could even smell the laundry detergent on the girl's clothes.

It's the real Chen Wenwen!

Normally, Lu Mingfei would have obediently stuck his butt to the chair and listened to the other party's orders, but now...

It's not the right time.

If he had ignored Chen Wenwen's thoughts in the past, he would have thought he was crazy—although he still feels that way now.

Now is not the time for him to stop and listen to Chen Wenwen. He has something much more serious to do—something more serious than the sky falling down. Talking to Chen Wenwen now could lead to trouble!

Lu Mingfei is a good kid who doesn't like to hurt others—or rather, he doesn't dare to hurt others.

Not to mention Chen Wenwen, a girl he likes, but he really can't speak right now. He discovered this as soon as he got home yesterday. He absolutely can't talk to anyone!

His mouth is now incredibly charming!

That's right, it's a physical discharge. As soon as Lu Mingfei opens his mouth to speak, a bolt of lightning will follow.

His cousin Lu Mingze, who shared a room with him, became the victim. When Lu Mingfei came back and exclaimed in shock, he fainted and didn't wake up until Lu Mingfei left for school.

Even his cousin, who was as big as a square, couldn't withstand it, so he wouldn't dare let his classmates with small arms and legs try it.

After all, not everyone has a "damage reduction shield" like Lu Mingze.

"Our club's activity is in two days, you see..." The girl in front of him had no idea what Lu Mingfei was thinking at the moment, she was just telling Lu Mingfei to arrange the preparations.

Lu Mingfei dared not agree as usual. He sprang into action as if he had a spring in his body, carrying his backpack and taking off.

He couldn't just watch Chen Wenwen ask him to get electrocuted; he couldn't bring himself to hurt a woman.

"Ugh! Ugh, I have other things to do... I'll talk to you later."

Lu Mingfei mumbled a few unintelligible words from his tightly closed mouth, then, suppressing the feeling that the sky was falling, turned and ran.

He's going to find that so-called Immortal Lord right now and find out what's going on!

Chen Wenwen was stunned, watching Lu Mingfei crash into several tables and disappear from sight in a panic.

For a moment, half the people in the classroom wore expressions of disbelief.

It's possible that Chen Wenwen will ignore Lu Mingfei.

It's possible that Lu Mingfei won't contact Chen Wenwen.

What does it mean that Lu Mingfei rejected Chen Wenwen and then ran away?

Is this correct?

"What's going on? Has this guy changed his ways?"

Sitting in her seat, Su Xiaoqiang, who had witnessed the whole process, muttered to herself.

Am I dreaming?

...........

Lu Mingfei didn't know whether the people in the classroom should dream, but he knew that he should dream now.

Although this sunny afternoon is perfect for sitting in front of the computer playing games with a fan blowing, he doesn't have that kind of leisure right now.

He had to get into the dream as soon as possible, go to that wasteland, and find the immortal lord to find out what was going on!

How can a dream turn a person into a battery?

It's a leaky battery! It might explode any day now.

This is so unlucky.

He can't stay like this forever, can he? Anyone who talks to him will get struck by lightning—Lu Mingze will get struck once, and Chen Wenwen will get struck twice!

He probably won't see the sun in his lifetime.

In order to live a normal life in the future, and in order to be able to talk to Chen Wenwen, he has to solve the strange things happening to him!

"This is probably... the fastest I've ever been back to my aunt's house in my life~."

Lu Mingfei gasped for breath, pushed open the unit door, shakily pulled out his keys from his pocket, pushed open the apartment door, and stepped into his aunt's house under the bright sunlight.

...........

"Great, I'm almost asleep now."

Lu Mingfei buried his head in the covers, like a weary bird returning to its nest. As his eyelids closed, he felt a thick, inky drowsiness spreading over him, surging into his limbs and bones, gently enveloping and dragging him along.

Consciousness began to blur, and I lightly shed my heavy body, sinking into the boundless darkness. There were no worries, only peace...

Just falling, continuing to fall...

until........

That voice, which appeared briefly but left a deep impression on Lu Mingfei, appeared again.

"Hey, loser?"

Lu Mingfei opened his eyes. This time, he wasn't struck by lightning and landed smoothly. The 'immortal' was sitting on the rock in the same spot, just as he had said, waiting for him... Everything couldn't have gone any smoother.

There was no insomnia, no waking up to change locations, and no situation where Jiang Mingzi could not be found.

Of course, it would be even better if he were free of physical problems and could stop uncontrollably spewing thunder from his mouth.

Since the other party is the so-called seeker of the Dharma, surely they must have a way to help him?

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry... Did you run into trouble on your way back? Did the girl you have a crush on get confessed to?" Jiang Mingzi turned her head and raised an eyebrow at Lu Mingfei.

"No way, look at my current situation." Lu Mingfei opened his mouth to complain, and a bolt of lightning shot out with his words.

"Huh? Lightning?" Before the lightning even got close to Jiang Mingzi, it disappeared as if it had hit a wall.

"Does it even carry a hint of causality?"

"That's it, I don't know why, but lightning strikes as soon as I open my mouth. It must be related to you, right!?"

Lu Mingfei doesn't care about cause and effect; he has to deal with this lightning, right?

"I could have been struck by lightning and died without any consequences, but then I ran into you yesterday, and now I'm like this. I can't stay like this forever, can I?"

"Don't rush, let this immortal lord take a look." Jiang Mingzi seemed to have expected this, and slowly walked down from the stone.

Seeing Jiang Mingzi's unhurried manner, Lu Mingfei really wanted to urge him to hurry up, but he kept quiet when he thought of the lightning bolt that had been blocked.

A wise man knows when to yield to circumstances. Lu Mingfei is not a wise man, but he still has his own insight.

He can't force such a cultivator to do anything; even if he's courting death, there's a limit.

Lu Ming may lack many other qualities, but he is particularly confident in his own abilities and patience.

How could an ordinary person be disrespectful to a cultivator? Based on his dark understanding of cultivators, he was afraid that the other party would pull out a dark purple "magic weapon" the next second, causing him to accidentally fall into it and be trained into a layer of enhanced passive ability.

After all, this guy looks pretty weird...

"Simple, it's just the effect of the talisman."

After circling around Lu Mingfei, Jiang Mingzi exaggeratedly showed a look of sudden realization and began to explain.

"That talisman is the Three Truths Myriad Manifestations Borrowing Treasure Talisman, unique to my Great Three Truths Dharma Sect. Although the previous borrowing method was not perfect, it still managed to borrow something from your body. However, before that talisman could be fixed, it was cleaved in your body by the punishment of causality..."

"Wait a minute?" Lu Mingfei waved his hands, looking completely bewildered. "Is there a simpler way to say it?"

"It means that the energy of the punishment of causality has been poured into the talisman which has no fixed form. Logically speaking, even if the talisman could withstand it, the person struck by the punishment of causality should have died long ago."

"But I didn't die... so the talisman wasn't destroyed, which made me the vessel for the causal punishment you mentioned."

Lu Mingfei understood. It was like a dead battery being struck by lightning. The 'ring' that was supposed to be responsible for restraint was broken, and he, the electrical appliance, had a leaky battery implanted in him, causing him to constantly leak electricity.

Can't even a short-distance circuit solve this electrical leakage problem?

"That's right, that talisman has disappeared from your body, and even this immortal lord can't take it out." Jiang Mingzi sat back down on the rock and waved to Lu Mingfei.

"Isn't there any other way?" Lu Mingfei was unwilling to give up. He couldn't keep spouting nonsense forever, could he?

Wouldn't that mean he'd never be able to speak to Chen Wenwen again for the rest of his life?

"Of course there are."
