Sorry—I didn’t have a good time with you today.” Lu Mingfei stroked Himegami’s soft, silky hair; the scent of last night’s shampoo filled his nose, and for some reason, he felt deeply at peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘You have ten minutes left.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You must be Du Deng,” Lu Mingfei said, pressing Himegami’s head against his chest as he faced the other side. “I’ve seen you—in my memories.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, and William too—two commissioners today,” Lu Mingfei said, glancing at a blonde woman. “And Nastasha—lucky me, I get to kill you once again. Wait, that’s not what I meant to say—please, can you wait a bit? Didn’t we agree I’d handle it myself?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Mingfei spoke as if to himself, yet no one dared interrupt him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard what you just said. I know exactly what kind of man you are,” Lu Mingfei told Commissioner William. “So, disappear.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commissioner William had no time to speak—this was no word or syllable, but a command. The instant it was issued, William crumbled like sand and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a pity—your committee didn’t all show up. Otherwise, I’d have given you all a lesson.” Lu Mingfei paused, then said, in the terrified gazes of Du Deng and the surrounding half-breeds: “Never mind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his gaze away as if losing interest; those within his field of vision felt as if granted mercy—until he turned back, studying the woman named Nastasha: “If you flirt with my father again and ruin my parents’ marriage, I’ll kill you and all these commissioners. Understood?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Kill her, you idiot!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Mingfei carried Himegami to Lu Mingze’s side, ruffled his hair, then pinched his cheeks a few times before letting go, as Lu Mingze glared in annoyance, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He told me to tell you—the game isn’t over until the world is ruled.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do whatever you want. At least it’s better than these bastards scheming against me all day—Secret Party, half-breed clans, Apocalypse Faction, Dragon Kings—just vanish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Mingfei deliberately spoke in Chinese to preserve his image in Himegami’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘You have seven minutes left.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We are one, brother,” Lu Mingze said slowly. “If that’s your wish, I can lead the way now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I really don’t want a harem, and I don’t want to be king of the world,” Lu Mingfei said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I understand,” Lu Mingze shrugged. “I’ll fulfill your wish—just remember to give me your soul.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Six minutes left.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Mingfei nodded, then turned to Pompeii—the silver dragon, the Dragon King of Sky and Wind—whose entire body had stiffened, his scales trembling slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you weren’t my big brother’s father, I’d chop you right now—you’ve done nothing but evil.” Lu Mingfei patted Pompeii’s dragon head as Lu Mingze had done. “And by the way—you’ve walked too far.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one final blow, Lu Mingfei slammed the dragon into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“More people, more strength,” he told Lu Mingze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Useless effort. I’ve managed state affairs for you for decades—just follow the guide and open your harem. Their initial affection for you is already over sixty.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Mingfei nodded to Kleen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Thanks, Lao Zhou.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kleen nodded back at Lu Mingfei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘This projection must be pretty strong, right?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After locking eyes, Lu Mingfei and Himegami vanished from the spot—next second, they appeared tens of thousands of meters above ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the brilliant starry sky, Himegami peeked out from his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So beautiful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Five minutes left.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Himegami,” Lu Mingfei’s cheeks flushed—he had never held a girl this closely in his past twenty-some years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sakura, so amazing,” Himegami said, her face so close it nearly touched his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s something I must tell you,” Lu Mingfei felt his blood surging—he knew Himegami was incredibly tempting, but he couldn’t let his other self take advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Mingfei took a deep breath and said seriously: “My real name is Lu Mingfei!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu Mingfei?” Himegami tilted her head in confusion. “But that man just now was called Lu Mingze.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s my younger brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s cute,” Himegami thought, then said. “Like a doll.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu… Ming… Fei?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I still prefer calling you Sakura.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why?” Lu Mingfei asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They all want to take Lu Mingfei—but Sakura is mine alone,” Himegami said, gripping Lu Mingfei’s shoulders tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Mingfei fell silent and flew toward the city below—his target: the all-black building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Himegami, I’ll always be with you—whether as Lu Mingfei or Sakura,” Lu Mingfei kissed her forehead and whispered in her ear: “No one will ever hurt you again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll chase away all the Ultramen for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sensed his surroundings, retracted his dragon wings, reverted to human form, and in the next instant, appeared with Himegami inside a tea room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinsu Katsuo, Genji Sumeragi, Genji Sumeragi’s brother, and the other heads of the Snake Clan—all except Ju Zhengzong—were already there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I’ve already arranged everything. You have two minutes left.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people present instinctively went on guard upon seeing the sudden appearance of the two—then lowered their defenses once they recognized them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Himegami didn’t understand why they had suddenly returned home; she opened her mouth to speak, but Lu Mingfei placed a finger over her lips to stop her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re home,” Lu Mingfei reminded her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Himegami nodded slowly, looking at Genji Sumeragi with a mix of sadness and unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinsu Katsuo’s entire attention was fixed on Himegami, his eyes wide—but then he remembered something and glared darkly at Lu Mingfei. Soon, however, he sighed in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you,” Genji Sumeragi nodded in gratitude. “But the Headmaster has already informed us—next time we meet, we may be enemies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Family doesn’t speak like strangers, big brother-in-law,” Lu Mingfei said, no longer caring about scalding water—he was now thick-skinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Genji Sumeragi’s eyebrow twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘One minute left.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Mingfei smiled with relief, loosening his grip on Himegami. “Himegami—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Mingfei felt reluctant; Himegami instinctively reached out to grab him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sakura?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space before him was empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dawn Floating Island\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dawn Hall\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Mingfei—no, Old Lu—changed into a set of clothing dominated by black tones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outfit resembled a suit but fused many Chinese elements, with gold-thread embroidery patterns—anyone would immediately think only a sovereign could wear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing before the mirror, he stared at his messy hair, swept it back with his right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Satisfied, he nodded and opened his door, stepping outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Dawn Hall’s council chamber, numerous half-breeds stood in two rows, solemn and upright, gazing at Old Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked step by step toward the center of the long table; on either side sat Su Lin and Old Tang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Tang slumped, chin propped on his hand, leaning on the table, looking utterly exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin sat with one leg crossed over the other, holding a crystal vial filled with crimson liquid. He raised it, studying it through the light of the crystal chandelier, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry you didn’t get to see the end of the Tokyo Love Story,” Old Lu said, sitting down with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Representatives of the half-breed families took their seats below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine—I’ve already seen it,” Su Lin lightly shook his vial; the half-full liquid swayed within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Then that’s good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he leave behind a clone—or was his true body nearby? Old Lu didn’t dwell on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From this moment, we officially announce our existence to the entire world,” Old Lu paused. “And issue ultimatums to every nation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Starting tomorrow, the dawn of a new era will arrive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We pledge to convey the Supreme Will to the world!” xn\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin ignored the excited crowd, tucked away his crystal vial, and smiled broadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starting the day after tomorrow, update times will stabilize. Sorry—the Dragon Clan arc is nearing its end.\u003C\u002Fp>",1318,"2026-06-20T04:17:29.700Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5b857d1ffdfc2836dfa3b9966e12af6345cf2b32d3a17c29d57033b0114d0d31","i-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-chapter-121","i-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-chapter-119",720,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-cover.jpg"]
