Chapter 94: No longer a human being
......
After leaving the matter of the dragon egg to Daolong and the Holy Lord, Lu Cheng returned home.
Ye Xinxia and Ding Yumian have been spending time in the school library. Ai Tutu seems to have something to do. He has been out for several days. Liu Xian and Liu Ru are still training at Daolong. The huge villa suddenly It became empty, even a little deserted.
“I don’t remember you having the attributes of an alcoholic.”
Opening the door and walking into the living room, the first thing he saw was Mu Nujiao, who was drinking.
"I'm not an alcoholic." Mu Nujiao hid the wine bottle on the table in a hurry with her eyes a little dodgeful. However, it seemed that she drank too much and her eyesight was bad. The bottle fell to the ground and she was drunk. All over the place.
"Sorry, I..." Mu Nujiao stood up drunkenly and wanted to clean up the wine on the floor. However, she accidentally fell to the ground.
"Don't move around after drinking so much." Lu Cheng swooped up behind Mu Nujiao, picked her up, turned and walked towards the bedroom upstairs.
Several shadow soldiers silently emerged from the shadows and quickly cleared the scene.
"I'm sorry..." Mu Nujiao was obviously drunk, and she hugged Lu Cheng's neck tightly. She lost her usual restraint and the feeling of distance that made her confused.
Lu Cheng hugged Mu Nujiao and lay on the bed, "Why, have you done anything to make me sorry?"
"No..." Mu Nujiao pursed her lips, wanting to He stopped talking.
"Is there a problem at home?" Lu Cheng asked.
Mu Nujiao shook her head, "No, it's my own problem."
In this house, Ai Tutu is the favorite of the Ai family. She will not be subject to any restrictions and can live freely.
The same goes for Ye Xinxia and Ding Yumian. They don't have to think too much, because Lu Cheng is willing to protect them from all wind and rain, and they are also willing to put aside their worries and enjoy this protection with peace of mind.
She envied them, but she also knew that she had brought it upon herself.
From the moment she first obtained resources from her family, she was already trapped.
Lu Cheng once reminded her that if you are born in this environment, unless you become the supreme controller, you are just a tool. The so-called freedom is gone from the moment you are born.
All the benefits they receive will come at a cost in the future.
She once naively thought that if she stopped asking for money from her family, she might be able to leave, but the reality was cruel, and she thought too much.
After returning from Jinlin, she tentatively asked about this matter at home.
The answer she got was cold, colder than she had ever imagined.
Lü Cheng’s life and death were unknown, and coupled with her questions about the demon experiment, the Mu family’s previous arrangements for her had changed. The kind elders in the past were no longer there, but only warnings that were almost threatening.
In the few months since Lu Cheng disappeared, marriage matters that she had never been involved in before began to come to her. She wanted to refuse, but her family asked her to remain ambiguous about these matters.
When Lu Cheng appeared again, taking on the identity of honorary member of the Magic Palace and honorary judge of the Imperial Tribunal, her family immediately helped her cut off those ambiguities and asked her to continue with her previous arrangements.
She immediately realized what Lu Cheng said before. She had never been free, but she didn't realize it. She even foolishly thought that she could get rid of those controls.
"I said, you can come to me." Lu Cheng said.
Mu Nujiao shook her head, "I don't want to cause you any trouble."
If she wants to leave the whirlpool of the Mu family, the only way is to return her things several times. What she needs to repay is not only what she got, but also what she should have received and what she should have paid, past and present. , in the future, she will have to pay back the interest on everything added up.
From the moment she was born, the loan had started and even all the interest had been arranged.
She can't run away.
Unless she can become the controller of the Mu family, freedom will always be a luxury.
However, she can't even control herself now, so how can she control the Mu family.
The family is not an idiot. If she fails to get the desired result in her request this time, there will be no next time.
"I can help you." Lu Cheng said.
“Help me?” Mu Nujiao came close to Lu Cheng’s eyes, blowing her gentle breath.
“What’s the price?”
“You said that everything has to be paid for, and nothing comes for free.”
"Can I afford this price?"
"You haven't even tried it, how do you know you can't afford it?" Lu Cheng reached out and pinched Mu Nujiao's nose, then silently pulled away. Some distance.
The smell of alcohol was strong, but in the current atmosphere, he couldn't be too direct.
Mu Nujiao woke up a little, pursed her lips, and shook her head. Any relationship requires back and forth. Lu Cheng does have enough power to help her, but how should she repay it?
Will you pledge yourself to me?
She can't do it.
She does like him and hopes to have a more future with him, but it will never be in this way.
She wanted to be by his side, not be a parasite on him.
Ye Xinxia is Lu Cheng's sister, and she has the confidence to rely on his qualifications.
Ding Yumian had a terrifying talent, and she didn't even need Lu Cheng to help her.
But she, recently she has become more and more afraid. Seeing everyone's rapid progress, she has become more and more suspicious of whether her so-called talent was real.
She didn’t want to be a tool in the Mu family’s hands, let alone Lu Cheng’s burden.
Maybe he didn't mind her little burden, but she couldn't accept it.
"You live too seriously." Lu Cheng said.
"You can be more shameless, like me."
"You?" Mu Nujiao was startled, then laughed.
"Is it like you to be with a rich woman?"
Everyone says that Lu Cheng became strong by being with a rich woman, but where is the rich woman?
She didn’t see it, neither did Ye Xinxia, no one saw it.
She only saw Lu Cheng's terrifying talent, which was as good as joking.
Rich woman is just an excuse.
After all, no one knows how much energy a rich woman who can’t even find out about her family has.
So no one dared to offend him, even the Mu family's attitude on this matter was strange.
In the past, the Mu family hoped that she could bring Lu Cheng into the Mu family. Later, the Mu family wanted to use her as a link to tie Lu Cheng to the Mu family. Now, the Mu family has become more interested in Lu Cheng. Be on guard.
It's not because of his strength, but because of his traceless background and the so-called rich woman who talks about it but doesn't have any information.
Honorary members of the Magic Palace and honorary judges of the Imperial City Tribunal. These two identities may only sound powerful in the eyes of others, but the Mu family knows very well that these are the clan capitals where forbidden curse mages are in charge. No face!
There are two possibilities for the Magic Palace to make such a decision, or his talent is enough for the Magic Palace to make this level of investment!
Either Lu Cheng’s background is beyond their imagination!
No matter which one it is, the Mu family is not willing to take risks. After all, if you are not careful, you may get yourself involved.
"I want to, but I've never been able to find the right one." Lu Cheng shrugged.
Before awakening the summoning system and getting involved with the devil, his plan was to get along with a rich woman.
Relying on the advantage of the plot, I got all the rich women I could get along with.
But after having the devil, many things became simpler, and he no longer had to hang out with rich women.
"Suitable..." Mu Nujiao smiled and shook her head.
She didn't think Lu Cheng would really cheat on a rich woman. After all, he knew very well what this kind of behavior would cost. Even someone from a family like her would need to put everything they own as collateral for a loan. Lu Cheng... the rich woman was not a fool. The price the rich woman has to pay will only be greater, the interest will be more, and it will be more troublesome.
Lu Cheng has always been direct in doing things, which shows that he hates trouble. How could he bring himself such unnecessary trouble.
"Jiaojiao, human abilities are limited. What I have learned from my short life is that the more people play tricks, the more likely they are to fail due to unexpected events." Lu Cheng suddenly said.
“If you want to break this damn cycle, you must become a creature beyond human beings.”
If Mu Ningxue had not escaped, his life would be completely different now.
He didn't expect that to happen, but it happened.
The more you think you have everything under control, the more reality will give you a hard time.
"Beyond humans? Cheng, what are you talking about?" Mu Nujiao didn't understand.
Lu Cheng's eyes flashed with dangerous red light, and his body shape changed rapidly. In just a few breaths, he transformed into a strong dragon man covered in black scales.
“I am no longer a human being, Jiaojiao.”
