Chapter 45 Trading
The girl's voice was like a breeze, gently brushing past Lu Mingfei's ears and blowing away the colorful dust in his memory.

He should have thought of it immediately, who else could be the girl here besides her?
Lu Mingfei didn't know what expression he should use to face Xiaolongnu.

Should I greet her in broken language by saying "Long time no see, junior sister"; or should I pretend not to know her and say "Who are you, beautiful lady?"

"It looks like a girl?" Liu Miaomiao asked in Lu Mingfei's ear, "Why did she call us senior brothers and sisters? Did she get here by mistake like us?"

Before Lu Mingfei could speak, the voice came again.

"I am also a student of Shilan Middle School. I am one year younger than you, so of course I have to call you senior brothers and sisters."

As she spoke, the newcomer began to walk towards Lu Mingfei. As they got closer, her face gradually became visible.

It’s Xia Mi.

Lu Mingfei had always felt that innocence and maturity, clarity and charm, were antonyms that could not appear on the same person at the same time, but now they appeared on Xia Mi's face at the same time.

Compared to the appearance in Lu Mingfei's memory, the 14-year-old "Xia Mi" looked more immature and tender, and her figure was also smaller, probably less than meters tall.

She was carrying a school bag, had her hair tied in a high ponytail, and was wearing a junior high school uniform, with simple socks and sneakers on her feet.

But that kind of awe-inspiring beauty has already begun to emerge, flawless.

"It's not a good habit to break into someone's home without even saying hello, brother."

Xia Mi bared her teeth, with a lively and mischievous expression, which instantly brought Lu Mingfei back to the Chicago station in 2010, as if she had just jumped out of that white cloth.

"I don't think you look like Xiaolongnu." Lu Mingfei suddenly said.

Xia Mi was stunned for a moment, then smiled warmly and brilliantly:

"Is this a new way to flirt? Just think of it as you complimenting my beauty. But even so, it's not a reason for you to just barge into someone else's house."

"You didn't keep the door of the Tomb Clan tightly closed, so you can't blame others for accidentally walking into the Tomb of the Living Dead."

"Really? Really? Did you spit on the portrait of Wang Chongyang at the door?"

Xia Mi made a face and accepted his complaints. The two of them were like the funny man and the supporting man in a crosstalk, saying nonsense one after another, as if they had really returned to that wonderful morning when they first met.

Liu Miaomiao lay on Lu Mingfei's back and had no idea what they were talking about. It was as if they were communicating in a code word that only they could understand.

I only vaguely caught that Lu Mingfei seemed to have known this girl who suddenly appeared for a long time.

……

Nibelungen in the imperial capital's subway nominally belongs to the King of Earth and Mountains, but Lu Mingfei knows that the actual gatekeeper of this alchemical maze is actually Jörmungandr.

The purpose of building this labyrinth was actually just to imprison her brother Fenrir.

Although among the twins, Fenrir is the one who holds the "power and authority", Jörmungandr is Fenrir's external brain and has weaker combat power, but weaker is only relative.

In any case, this seemingly harmless girl in front of Lu Mingfei is actually a real dragon king who can easily destroy the "Midgard Snake" roller coaster.

Without summoning Lu Mingze, Lu Mingfei felt that he had almost no chance of winning against her.

What's more, he also has to protect Liu Miaomiao behind him.

"The girl I saw in Odin's Nibelung must be you, my junior sister, right?" Lu Mingfei asked knowingly.

Since Lu Mingze did not show up, Xia Mi did not attack herself and Liu Miaomiao immediately, which meant that she did not pose any threat or hostility to them for the time being.

Of course, she could also be observing herself and Liu Miaomiao with a playful mentality, similar to "a human child observing two ants alone outside."

The reason why he is not in a hurry to launch an attack is because he can crush himself to death at any time.

Therefore, Lu Mingfei decided to ask questions first and take the initiative in speaking.

"You still remember it." Xia Mi nodded while standing on tiptoe. "I was actually surprised that you were able to find me at that time. Who are you?"

"I'm just an ordinary senior brother."

Xia Mi shook her head: "Can ordinary senior brothers sense my presence? I don't believe it." "Don't you know that beautiful junior sisters are traps for senior brothers? They can smell the scent even from thousands of miles away."

"You're carrying a girl on your back. I remember her name is Senior Liu Miaomiao. Is it really okay to flirt with a junior sister like this?"

"Since you know that Senior Sister is your senior brother's girl, then Senior Brother, can you make a deal with me?"

Xia Mi put her hands behind her back and nodded, "Tell me about it."

Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows, suddenly put Liu Miaomiao down from his back and held her in his arms.

"Close your eyes." Lu Mingfei held her hand and said.

Liu Miaomiao suddenly had an illusion, as if the boy in front of her was on a ship with no destination, about to set off and go away from her.

But Lu Mingfei held her hand tightly, making her decide to believe the boy in front of her. Liu Miaomiao changed the handshake posture, interlocked her fingers, followed Lu Mingfei's instructions, and slowly closed her eyes.

As someone gently pressed somewhere on her neck, Liu Miaomiao fell asleep in Lu Mingfei's arms. Her eyelashes were so thick, and her breathing was light and even, just like the Sleeping Beauty in the fairy tale who had slept for a hundred years, waiting to be woken up by the prince's kiss.

"Senior brother is really kind and gentle to women." Xia Mi clicked her tongue.

"It's not good for her to hear what happens next." Lu Mingfei shrugged and let Liu Miaomiao's head gently rest against his heart. "Let her go, and I'll let you do whatever you want with her."

"Interesting." Xia Mi tiptoed lightly, like a swan treading on water. "The plot of a hero saving a beautiful girl is indeed very cool and classic, but what value do you have in me that would make me agree to this deal?"

"Because I've been to Odin's Nibelung." Lu Mingfei said.

In her previous life, Xia Mi said that the reason why she always stayed by Chu Zihang's side and observed him was because Chu Zihang had been to Odin's Nibelung and bore Odin's mark on his body.

In this life, Lu Mingfei has also been to Odin's Nibelung, so he should also have Odin's mark on his body.

Although Lu Mingfei didn't know what Odin was, he knew that Xia Mi was interested in Odin, so he chose to use himself as a bargaining chip to trade with Xia Mi, and the subject of the transaction was Liu Miaomiao's life.

This is what Lu Mingze meant when he said show hand.

Xia Mi was stunned, and her face seemed to show a kind of anger and surprise at being guessed.

"Interesting." She suddenly sneered, a proud and cold light flashed in her eyes, which made people shudder.

"You do know something. But why should I agree to your request? You are not the only one who has entered Odin's Nibelung."

"Because I'm more worthy of observation, of course."

"for example?"

"For example, I have not only been to Odin's Nibelungen, but also to your Nibelungen." Lu Mingfei said, "Isn't it because you are curious about my identity that you have not taken action against me yet?"

A new round of whistle sounds and lights came from the front of the tunnel. The wind pushed by the air blew randomly in the claustrophobic space. The two looked at each other in silence. No one spoke, and they even held their breath.

It was not until the train whistle and the headlights were getting closer and closer, and were almost within reach, that Xia Mi suddenly grinned.

"You are such a crazy gambler. I am indeed a little curious about your identity."

"Promise?"

"Not completely agreed." Xia Mi shook her head. "Whether you are really worthy of this remains to be seen. But I can fulfill the deal first and let you and your girl leave this Nibelungen."

Just agree to it, why are you still being so arrogant? You are really going to keep pretending to be stubborn until your death.

"But..." Xia Mi changed the subject, "What happened here is not a good thing for your girl. Do you need my help?"

"What can you help me with?"

As soon as Lu Mingfei said this, he suddenly remembered that in his previous life, Xia Mi seemed to have modified the memory of his paralyzed senior brother. Could this be what Xia Mi meant?
"I can help your girl forget what happened here." Xia Mi tilted her head, "Whether you need it or not is up to you to decide."
