Chapter 118 Eri's Thoughts on Going to School
Eri was a little depressed that her idea was opposed by the two people, and her original idea of getting help from the two people fell through.
The next day, Uesugi Koshi and the Genji brothers came to visit. Eri hadn't seen Uesugi Koshi and Minamoto no Chisei for a long time, so she happily jumped out to greet them.
Xia Mi and Zhang Baiqing followed her.
"I noticed that her habits are a bit similar to yours?" Xia Mi said to Zhang Baiqing, "When you are happy, you always jump and skip like a little kid."
"Have it?"
"Yes, maybe you have been worried about something in the past year, so I haven't seen you so childish, but I remember everything before that."
Xia Mi thought for a moment and said, "When I observed Chu Zihang, sometimes when you were chatting with him happily, you would jump around like a monkey."
"What you said..."
The car stopped at the door and the three people in the car got out.
The energetic old man, the handsome and resolute Genjiro, and the delicate-looking Genjiro who is somewhat similar to her brother.
"Ms. Xia, I'm Eri's brother, Gen Chisei. Nice to meet you. Thank you for taking care of my sister."
Yuan Zhisheng bowed to Xia Mi and handed her a gift box. "We don't know exactly what Miss Xia needs, but considering that she is an alchemist, she might be interested in alchemical materials, such as the dragon blood of the Yamata no Orochi. We also brought dragon bones, but the procedures are a bit complicated. We are in the process of communicating and will send them to Miss Xia as soon as the procedures are completed."
The problem of Eri's bloodline was solved thanks to the help of Miss Xia, and his gratitude was sincere.
"That's thoughtful." Xia Mi nodded and took the gift.
The Yamata-no-Orochi is equivalent to the first generation species, and it is also the first generation species derived from the White King. It is also very precious for those powerful mixed-race families.
Yuan Zhinu also took two gift boxes and stepped forward to bow and hand them to Zhang Baiqing: "Mr. Zhang, a little respect, thank you for your help. And this gift is for Mr. Chu."
"You're welcome." Zhang Baiqing accepted the gift quickly. "Are you okay? Did the White King gene disrupt your physical condition?"
"There's nothing wrong with my body. The White King's gene hasn't invaded my hematopoietic system. The doctor said that as the body's blood metabolizes, the blood from the holy remains will gradually be discharged." Yuan Zhinv told the truth.
"It's okay."
Zhang Baiqing gave him a meaningful look.
Yuan Zhinv felt a little puzzled by his gaze, but couldn't understand what he wanted to express.
The six people walked into the house, and Eri was busy serving tea and water and cutting fruit for her brother and father.
Gen Chisei and Uesugi Yue ate the watermelon handed to them by Eri, and glanced at each other secretly with tacit understanding.
They smelled something unusual. It's not that Eri couldn't do that, but she was a little too attentive today.
It's like a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken, with no good intentions.
They looked at Xia Mi, wanting to ask about the situation, but Xia Mi ignored their gazes.
Eri wants to go to Kassel Academy, so let her solve this problem herself. Uesugi Yue and Ange are old acquaintances, so he will definitely ask Ange about the situation at Kassel Academy. If Ange doesn't want to fight with Uesugi Yue, he might be more honest.
Seeing that Xia Mi did not express anything, the two men reluctantly looked at Zhang Baiqing.
When it comes to issues not related to Eiry, they are still very friendly and enthusiastic towards Zhang Baiqing, but when it comes to Eiry, they start to dislike this guy.
It is one thing to approve of him, and it is another thing to be unhappy with him on some issues. There is no conflict between them.
Seeing the look between the two, Zhang Baiqing asked Eri, "Eri, do you want to make lunch or should I make lunch?"
"Let me do it!"
Upon hearing this, Eri stood up and ran into the kitchen diligently again.
Yuan Zhisheng, who was close to Zhang Baiqing, asked in a low voice: "Zhang Jun, is Eri hiding something from us?"
Zhang Baiqing nodded and replied in a low voice: "Well, she wants to go to Kassel College."
"Ah?" Yuan Zhisheng frowned, mentally weighing whether he should agree to this matter.
"No."
Compared to Genji, who still needed to be considered, Uesugi denied it without a second thought and gave a reason: "Kassel Academy is too dangerous. If Eri's ability and bloodline have not been exposed, it would be fine for her to go there for further training. After the training, she can return to the Japanese branch. But Eri's incomparable strength has been exposed. If she goes to Ange's men, she will rush to the front line if there is a Dragon King. He can definitely do this. As long as he can kill the dragon, it will be a huge profit for him even if I beat him up."
Yuan Zhisheng thought of the same thing. If a normal member of the Eight Snake Clans went to study there and was not so dazzling, it would be quite safe.
Although slaying a dragon is dangerous, there aren't always dragons, right? Even if there are dragons, it would be the extremely outstanding geniuses who would go first. If Eri's strength hadn't been exposed, it would be worth considering.
But as Uesugi Yue said, if it was possible to slay a dragon, Angers would definitely rather bear the infamy and send Eri to the battlefield.
He would not underestimate the extent of Ange's hatred for dragons.
"Why does Eri want to go to Kassel Academy? Does she want to be a dragon-slaying hero?"
Yuan Zhinu asked a question, and then the three of them turned their eyes to Zhang Baiqing.
This is a very good question, which will determine how they persuade Eri to give up her plan to go to Kassel Academy.
Zhang Baiqing said, "Xia Mi will enroll at Kassel College in a month. Eri saw that we were all going to Kassel College, and Yuan Zhisheng, didn't you also go to Kassel College for further studies? She wanted to go to school with us, too. Maybe she thought it would be fun?"
"I think it's fun... But slaying a dragon is not fun at all. It can kill people."
Yuan Zhinu was a little surprised. He was not very familiar with this sister and had no impression of her personality or habits.
He only knew that slaying a dragon was not easy. He had never seen any other pure-blooded dragon except the Yamata-no-Orochi. However, the Yamata-no-Orochi was not easy to deal with either. Because of this Yamata-no-Orochi, their Eight Snake Clans suffered heavy casualties.
"This reason is too ridiculous." Uesugi Yue glanced at Zhang Baiqing and always felt that his daughter was really going to be abducted by the yellow-haired man.
The few of them did not continue to discuss this topic. Uesugi Yue and Minamoto Chisei, father and son, were thinking about how to dissuade Eri from her idea.
The dishes had been prepared long ago and didn't take much time to cook. The welcoming lunch was not very sumptuous, just normal home-cooked meals. However, because it was cooked by Eri herself, Gen Chisei and the others ate it with gusto.
After dinner, Eri went to pack clothes and other things, while Zhang Baiqing took a walk with Genjitsu.
"What's wrong, Zhang Jun?"
Yuan Zhinu asked. "I just want to talk to you about something." Zhang Baiqing put his hand on Yuan Zhinu's shoulder, "How are the Eight Snake Clan doing now? Did Herzog leave anything behind?"
"You should ask my brother about this, but I also know something."
As they strolled together, Minamoto Chitose said, "After his death, we, the Snake Family, sorted out his belongings, including those from both his identity as a king and his identity as Tachibana Masamune. Most of his belongings were collections, lots of them, from antique paintings and calligraphy to watches, and even... the hair of the women he had violated. He had a collecting habit like a dragon."
In Western mythology, dragons like to collect treasures and gold and silver and put them in their nests. Although it is not known what use these things have on dragons, it is true that they have this hobby.
"What about Bondarev's news? He knows too much, probably more than all the dragon-slaying families. Such detailed information is simply not something that one person can know."
"The information about Bondarev that Herzog left behind is all that we know," said Genji. "Herzog didn't say much about Bondarev."
"I see. The world is so big, and we haven't seen Bondarev. Maybe he is still alive and is somewhere on the earth, but we can't find him."
"Yeah." Yuan Zhinv nodded.
Zhang Baiqing asked: "Do you want to completely remove Fengjian Liuli's personality?"
Yuan Zhinv nodded and smiled helplessly: "Of course I would love to get rid of this evil ghost, but it is not easy. The spiritual world is too mysterious. Humans only know the existence of spirits through the dragon civilization. With the current technology of human beings, we are far from the stage of interfering with spirits."
"Since you agree, then follow me."
Zhang Baiqing took him into the basement, then turned back and closed the basement door.
When the door was closed with a click, Yuan Zhinu instantly felt as if the back of his head was slapped hard. Before he could come to his senses and tried to turn his head, his eyes went dark and he fainted without any resistance.
"No? You can't even knock out a half-blood?"
Zhang Baiqing closed the door and looked at Xia Mi behind Yuan Zhinu with some confusion.
He just saw Xia Mi strike with a knife, but Yuan Zhinv seemed to be unaffected at all.
"What do you know?" Xia Mi glared at him and said seriously, "I'm just afraid that if I use too much force, I'll kill him."
"Oh, yes, yes, can we start now?"
"It's over."
"Ah?" Zhang Baiqing was surprised. He had just closed it and it was over?
"That's because you are not strong enough. If your mental strength could be as strong as mine, you would know that this is just a piece of cake." Xia Mi hurriedly boasted about her own strength, trying to save some face.
"Then why do you need to knock him out?"
Zhang Baiqing looked at Yuan Zhinu who was already lying on the ground.
"Can unconscious surgery be the same as conscious surgery?" Xia Mi said, "When a person is conscious, the body will instinctively be on guard. If they faint, it's different. Without the guard, it's easy to invade."
"That's it."
The two of them were not in a hurry to pat Yuan Zhinu to wake her up. Instead, they waited for a long time before Zhang Baiqing squatted down and patted Yuan Zhinu's face.
"Hello? Wake up?"
But Yuan Zhinv did not move and still lay peacefully on the ground.
Xia Mi said: "Erasing a spiritual body by force will cause some trauma to his overall spirit, but my skills are superb and no fundamental injuries have occurred. He just needs to rest for a while. Hit his face with more force, otherwise he won't wake up."
Zhang Baiqing slapped him twice more with great force.
Only then did Yuan Zhinv open her eyes in a daze and crawled up from the ground.
He touched his cheek and felt it was quite painful. He asked in confusion, "Zhang Jun, did you hit me just now?"
"Yes, I hit you. Miss Xia, the personality of Fengjian Liuli, has been deleted for you. Don't mention this to the outside world, understand?"
"Has it been eliminated?"
Gen Chikōnō closed her eyes to feel the presence of Kazama Ruri's personality, but she didn't feel it. Instead, she felt as if her brain was chopped by a knife. The more she thought about it, the more painful it became.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, and thank you, Miss Xia."
Yuan Zhinv decisively bowed 90 degrees to the two of them.
Bowing is popular in Japan, which belongs to their culture of bowing and represents respect for each other. However, this etiquette may not be very friendly to people with lumbar disc herniation.
"You're welcome. If you want to thank someone, thank Eri." Xia Mi said, "If it weren't for Eri, I wouldn't help you."
"understood."
Outside, Eri had already packed her things and put them in the car, while Gen Chisei and Uesugi Yue were waiting for them to come out with frowns on their brows.
Seeing the three people coming and Gen Chinushi seemed to be fine, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Miss Xia." "Thank you, Sister Xia Mi."
"There will still be some unhealed trauma in his brain during this period, and it may take a month or two to repair. During this period, he cannot use the Word Spirit. If he uses the Word Spirit multiple times before the injury has healed, the trauma may become permanent."
"I understand, Miss Xia. Thank you for taking care of my daughter Eri these days and curing her illness. If you need me in the future, I will definitely not refuse."
Uesugi Yue respectfully handed over a check for 1 billion yen. Now this 1 billion yen is not a small amount for the Snake Eight Clan. Tokyo was hit by a disaster, and many Japanese and companies suffered huge losses. The Snake Eight Clan was not much better off, and post-disaster reconstruction also required a large sum of money.
Xia Mi did not refuse and accepted the check calmly.
She is a dragon king, and it is their honor to accept their money. If it weren't for the relationship between Eri and Zhang Baiqing, not to mention 10 billion, even 100 billion would not be enough to ask her to help. After all, she is not the pauper she used to be.
"Goodbye, Zhang Baiqing. Goodbye, Sister Xia Mi." Eri waved to the two reluctantly.
Watching the car they were riding in leave, Zhang Baiqing turned around and asked Xia Mi: "Then I'm going home first too? When Zihang comes back, tell him to go home directly."
"No, you can go, but Chu Zihang can't leave right away." Xia Mi shook her head and said, "He has to help me build the Nibelungen first. School is about to start. If he helps me build it, we can quickly open up the channel between the two Nibelungen. This way, my brother can also go online before going to Kassel College."
"Okay, it's up to you. If he's willing to stay and help you build the Nibelungen, then he can stay."
Zhang Baiqing nodded.
