Chapter 131 The Second Opening
Chen Wenwen sat in the passenger seat, while Xia Mi and Lu Mingfei sat in the back seat.
"Are these two your classmates?" Chen's father, who was sitting in the driver's seat, asked Chen Wenwen while handing towels to them.
Chen Wenwen's father is not as good-looking as Chen Wenwen, but he has a gentle and elegant temperament, which is very similar to the stereotype of a scholar. Lu Mingfei actually met Chen Wenwen's father several times in his previous life. He knew that Chen Wenwen's parents were teachers at a local second-tier university, and they taught literature courses. Chen Wenwen inherited her interest in literature from her parents.
"No..." Chen Wenwen introduced, "He is our class monitor Lu Mingfei, and this is my junior sister Xia Mi."
While wiping her hair with a towel, Xia Mi greeted sweetly: "Hello, uncle! Thank you for giving us a ride."
Lu Mingfei also followed Xia Mi and greeted her.
Few middle-aged men can resist the offensive of a cute girl who looks just like their own daughter. Father Chen chuckled and said, "It's okay, they are all Wenwen's classmates. Wenwen often mentions classmate Lu at home and says that he is the monitor of their class..."
"Dad!" Chen Wenwen interrupted hurriedly.
The Passat started in the rain. Along the way, Chen Wenwen's father was coaxed by Xia Mi and laughed. This scene reminded Lu Mingfei of the time in his previous life when Xia Mi coaxed Angge, she was also like a well-behaved granddaughter coaxing an old man, and Angge couldn't stop laughing for several days.
She is truly a friend of middle-aged and elderly men... Lu Mingfei sighed in his heart.
"Which classmate should we send back first?" asked Chen's father.
Lu Mingfei's home was closest to the school. Just as he was about to speak, Xia Mi, who was sitting next to him, suddenly raised her hand:
"Please take me home first, uncle. My home is closest to the school."
"Okay, then point me in the direction..."
Xia Mi reported a place name.
Lu Mingfei was stunned, watching the car turn around and drive into a road completely opposite to his home.
"My home is obviously the closest to here, okay?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi in a low voice, "What on earth are you planning? Tell me the truth now, Senior Brother."
"Brother, please give way to me." Xia Mi stuck out her tongue, "My parents are waiting for me to come home for dinner."
“Bah, bah, bah, you know better than me whether you have parents or not.” Lu Mingfei said, “And it’s not a matter of letting or not, okay? After Chen Wenwen’s father drives you home, I ask him to drive the car back, isn’t it embarrassing?”
Xia Mi spread her hands: "Then Senior Brother, just get off the car with me, so it won't be awkward."
"You said it so easily." Lu Mingfei heard the place name Xia Mi mentioned just now, "Do you know how far your home is from mine? Or does your home have food for me to eat and a bed for me to sleep in?"
Xia Mi suddenly changed to a low voice, and said cleverly and strangely: "Senior brother is so lustful. He already has Senior Sister Liu Miaomiao, and now he has Senior Sister Chen Wenwen. But he still wants to sleep at my house, even though he knows that there is only one room and one bed in my house."
Lu Mingfei sneered twice without saying anything, only glanced sympathetically at a certain part of Xia Mi's body, and responded calmly.
Xia Mi immediately stepped back with a ferocious look on her face, crossed her arms, and kicked Lu Mingfei's calf. Of course, Lu Mingfei reacted immediately and dodged it easily.
"Humph."
Xia Mi snorted lightly, sat back next to Lu Mingfei, crossed her legs lightly, blinked, and the ferocious expression disappeared in an instant. The youthfulness and liveliness in her eyes turned into charm in an instant.
This sudden change left Lu Mingfei stunned.
"Honestly, brother."
Xia Mi stared at Lu Mingfei and said, her eyes moving, her pure golden pupils flowing over the lively brown color like water, "Come get off the car with me later."
Lu Mingfei looked at Xia Mi's sudden change in attitude and felt that her words were not in a joking tone as before, but were spoken to him very seriously.
"Reason?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Put your hand out."
Lu Mingfei stretched out his hand cooperatively.
Xia Mi reached out her hand, held Lu Mingfei's fingers, and pulled his hand closer. The place where their fingertips touched was as cold as last time, and the temperature instantly spread. She held Lu Mingfei's fingers with one hand, and the index finger of the other hand gently drew circles on the palm of Lu Mingfei's hand.
"Did you feel it, senior brother?" Xia Mi asked.
"..."
Yes, he felt it.
At the beginning, Lu Mingfei didn’t know what Xia Mi wanted to do by asking him to stretch out his hand.
As her index finger drew circles on his palm, the cool touch reminded him of what happened in Xia Mi's secret base not long ago. At that time, she also drew circles on her palm.
After a few seconds, the cold touch immediately faded away from the palm, and what followed was the breathing of rain, the violent roar of the wind, the uneasily trembling of the earth...all kinds of elements were mixed around, moving restlessly.
"Is it elemental turbulence?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Yes." Xia Mi nodded with a smile.
The world is made up of five core elements: wind, water, fire, earth, and spirit. Under normal circumstances, the distribution of these elements is quite balanced. However, after being disturbed by strong external forces, their distribution will be disrupted, resulting in elemental turbulence that is invisible to the human eye, thus causing some common atmospheric phenomena.
Things like typhoons, heavy rains, and lightning are all manifestations of elemental turbulence.
These are the basic knowledge that Kassel College will teach in the freshman year. Of course, if you want to learn more in-depth, such as how to distinguish elemental turbulence and natural atmospheric phenomena, you need to take special courses.
The most memorable elemental turbulence that Lu Mingfei had ever experienced was in his previous life in Neon Tokyo, when the birth of the White King triggered a natural disaster that almost caused the entire Tokyo to sink.
"But why can I feel the elemental turbulence?"
"This is the elemental turbulence caused by the Nibelungen opening the entrance."
Xia Mi said, "You have entered His Nibelungen once, and his mark is left on you. Therefore, when His Nibelungen opens again, you will have a keener perception than others. It's like a rheumatic patient is more sensitive to weather changes."
"Junior sister, you used a very good metaphor. Thank you."
Lu Mingfei was complaining a lot, but his heart was already pounding.
It goes without saying that the "He" that Xia Mi was talking about is Odin.
In his previous life, Odin was just a simple symbol in his life, the culprit who caused the death of his paralyzed senior brother's father, and an existence that might be comparable to the Dragon King, nothing more.
But after he was reborn in this life, he had real contact with Odin, and personally experienced the rainy night in 2006 that only existed in his senior brother's memories in his previous life.
But...why did Odin start the Second Nibelung?
In his memory, Chu Zihang in his previous life never mentioned the second time he entered Nibelungen.
Therefore, Brother with facial paralysis should have only entered Odin’s Nibelungen once in his previous life, and this time’s Nibelungen has nothing to do with Brother with facial paralysis.
The last time the Nibelungen was opened, Odin seemed to be trying to get the mysterious box with the lush world tree printed on it from his paralyzed senior brother's father.
So why did He open the Nibelung this time?
Is he trying to get something like last time, or is he doing it for another purpose...
Lu Mingfei lowered his head, thinking hard, when suddenly someone reached out and gently pushed his arm.
When he came to his senses, he found that the car had driven to an unknown place and stopped at an intersection, next to which was the spiraling inner-city highway. Xia Mi was looking at him with her eyes wide open, and her lively pupils had faded back to dark brown.
"Don't be in a daze, Brother." Xia Mi shook Lu Mingfei's arm, "We should get off the bus."
