Chapter 177 – His Royal Highness of the Dragon Clan (Extra 2.1)
Jian Luo, the young prince, was a prominent figure at school. Whether on Earth or among the Dragon Clan, he seemed to carry a golden aura wherever he went. It’s worth noting that these young princes had excellent personalities. They were very polite and friendly towards others, although their temperaments varied greatly.
Lu Chengyin was the most sunny and friendly. He was extremely popular and everyone wanted to be close to this sunny boy. Even in school, wherever he went, a group of people followed him, and he even had a fan club.
Lu Chengyu, on the other hand, had a very cold personality, as cold as an iceberg. People who approached him felt frozen in place. Lu Chengqi was very clever, not as cold as his elder brother. In school, he also got along well with everyone, but perhaps because of his intelligence, there was always a certain distance perceived between him and others.

School
“I think Chengyin is in love.”
“Do you think so too?”
“Yeah, a few days ago he suddenly asked me how to make a man happy.”
A group of students gathered gossiping. Outside, there was some commotion and noise. They turned around and saw a boy walking towards them. He was tall, with handsome features resembling Lu Shifeng to a considerable extent, but while Marshal Lu was always noble and elegant, this young prince exuded a natural and masculine aura.
Today, he was holding something in his hands.
When the students saw him, they surrounded him: “What does Chengyin have?”
Lu Heizai held a small medicine box in his arms and said, “I’m delivering medicine to someone.”
‼️⁉️⁉️
The students exchanged glances, each seeing different emotions in each other’s eyes—some shocked, some resistant and unable to accept, and others burning with gossip curiosity. One person directly asked, “Who are you giving it to?”
This was quite rare. Who could have made Lu Chengyin act like this?
Lu Heizai said, “To Chengyu. He got injured during training yesterday, so I’m taking him some medicine.”
“……”
The gazes of the crowd gradually became somewhat lackluster.
“Did any of you see Chengyu today?” Lu Heizai put down his backpack. “He came to school on his own this morning. Did anyone see where he went?”
The class monitor said, “It seems he went to the training hall.”
A hint of what looked like annoyance flashed across Lu Heizai’s face. “Got it.”
He strode out, leaving the classmates to ponder the meaning of life. So Lu Chengyin wasn’t in love after all. Was that younger boy his brother?

Training Grounds
Early in the morning, when there weren’t many people around, a simulated battle machine opened, and someone sat up inside, wiping their face with a towel.
“Bang!”
The door was forcefully pushed open.
A figure strode in like a shooting star, accompanied by Heizai-style grumbling: “Lu Chengyu, are you still not seeing eye to eye with your brother? Why didn’t you wait for me this morning? Are you getting too big for your boots? Why didn’t you tell your brother you were hurt? Why did you come to training when you’re injured? Do you want me to tell Dad?!”
Lu Chengyu paused in his actions, lazily tossed the towel aside, and lifted his eyes to look at his somewhat silly older brother. “I didn’t want to waste time with someone who sleeps in every morning.”
—
Heizai was speechless. “Who sleeps in every morning?!”
Lu Chengyu chuckled softly.
“I heard you hurt your ankle.”
Lu Heizai sat down beside the simulated battle machine and naturally began to inspect the injury. His younger siblings didn’t have particularly robust health. Lu Chengyu seemed to inherit many traits from their father, with softer features initially, very delicate and beautiful. However, he could be cold, his demeanor transforming him into an icy beauty, terrifyingly cold yet still delicate and ruthless, with a body as fragile as Jian Luo’s.
Lu Chengyu was not very interested. “Are you kidding me? The Dragon Clan’s self-healing ability is strong. It’ll be fine by this afternoon.”
“This medicine is different!” Lu Heizai gestured to the medicine box. “Applying this will numb the pain. Waiting for self-healing would be quite painful.”
Lu Chengyu smirked ambiguously. “Who do you think is afraid of pain like you?”
Lu Heizai was annoyed and embarrassed. “Lu Chengyu, you better watch it. Don’t push me to beat you up.”
Lu Chengyu looked sternly at him, but his actions were unexpectedly gentle as he applied the medicine to himself. He wasn’t in pain, but he furrowed his brows slightly, making it seem like his leg was broken.
Just like Dad, always worrying unnecessarily.
Lu Chengyu scorned his irrational brother, but his expression softened considerably. Leaning lazily against the simulated battle pod, he drawled, “Sure.”
The two chatted for a while until a slender figure appeared at the door of the training room. She wore a long robe school uniform, her features lively and cute. Her white hair was tied up with a few strands falling gently around her temples, giving her a literary and quiet demeanor. She wore glasses with gold frames, not ordinary glasses—only two pairs existed in the world: one worn by the wealthy Nie Ban and the other on Lu Chengqi’s face.
“Couldn’t find you two anywhere.” Lu Chengqi pursed her lips, carrying a lunchbox. “You ran off so fast this morning. Dad asked me to bring breakfast for you.”
Lu Heizai was excited. “What did Dad make today?”
“Spicy soup.” Dragons loved spicy food. “And xiaolongbao, both meat and vegetarian. There were side dishes too, but Dad said seeing how hurried you two were, you probably weren’t hungry, so I didn’t pack them.”
“……” Lu Heizai teared up. He loved side dishes the most, sniffing sadly.
The two brothers divided the buns and ate them. Lu Chengqi inspected her elder brother’s wound and chatted and played for a while. From a very long time ago, they had been inseparable. They were willing to communicate and interact with others as their father had advised, but it all seemed like a formality. They still only had each other.
As the years passed, they gradually found their own paths, but their deep bond remained unchanged.
Lu Heizai munched on a bun and said, “My mentor is starting an internship recently, so I’ll be heading to the lab area for school these days. You two take care of yourselves.”
His younger siblings paused, then asked, “What internship?”
“Experimental. Not just me, but students from other schools too. I’m the president of the student council, so I have to organize activities.” Lu Heizai grabbed a bun from his brother to eat. “Will you come?”
The younger siblings exchanged a glance and nodded in unison. “No.”
……
No one took this union seriously. Except for one person who sensed something amiss: Lu Chengyu. He knew his silly brother well enough to notice any anomaly. Feeling something was off because his silly brother hadn’t been sleeping in.
Lu Chengyu squinted. “Is the union keeping you busy?”
“Hmm?” Lu Heizai had just finished washing up and hadn’t even properly fastened his tie. He shrugged nonchalantly. “Nope, it’s that a classmate of ours is facing some difficulties. It takes her a long time to get to our school every day, and she’s getting along well with us. I’ll take her along later; she’s really pitiful.”
Lu Chengyu stood up, calmly approached his brother, and gently fixed his tie with a few movements of his fresh fingers. He murmured softly, “The union?”
“Yeah.”
Lu Heizai smiled brightly, “Can you help out?”
Lu Chengyu’s eyes slightly darkened. Without saying much, he simply nodded, “Go ahead.”
Next, what I discovered was the clever little sister. Previously, around noon, the older brother would always go out of his way to drag her to the cafeteria for lunch. Afterwards, the second brother would start being picky about food, causing the older brother to explode in anger.
But today at noon, something happened. She received only one message: “Remember to go eat, I’m not going to the cafeteria today.”
Sender — Lu Chengyin
The clever little girl read the message repeatedly, squinted, and then went to find the second brother. She said in one sentence, “Is he in love?”
Lu Chengyu put down his book. “What do you think?”
…
The little sister choked up for a moment; she felt her brother seemed temporarily lacking in brain cells.
“Maybe I’m just overthinking it,” Lu Chengqi sighed. “He doesn’t seem to have that kind of mindset.”
“No, he doesn’t.”
Lu Chengyu raised an eyebrow, sat back in his chair with his legs crossed on the table, an extremely arrogant posture. His eyes were filled with coldness. “But that girl might.”
…
Under the blazing sun, two people sat beneath a wisteria tree.
The boy was handsome and sunny, while the girl beside him was petite and charming. The two of them sat there sharing a piece of bread, a scene that looked incredibly beautiful no matter how you looked at it.
The girl blushed slightly. “Thank you, Brother Chengyin. I’ve been having some financial difficulties and can’t afford cafeteria meals. I was worried about being looked down upon for bringing my own lunch, but you’ve been taking care of me and keeping me company.”
“It’s nothing,” Lu Heizai replied candidly. “Just let me take care of you guys. And don’t worry, bringing your own lunch is perfectly fine. Look, I bring my own too, and no one looks down on me.”
The girl lowered her eyes. “You’re good.”
Lu Heizai chuckled awkwardly. “Just okay.”
The girl pursed her lips and spontaneously handed him a piece of bread, creating intimacy. She had put a lot of effort into entering this prestigious school. If it weren’t for this social event, someone like her, from a lower class, would never have had the chance to meet aristocrats. She had already inquired that Lu Chengyin, the young master of the Dragon Clan, was kind-hearted and friendly, but also held a prestigious status, truly a golden turtle in every sense.
As long as she captured him, wouldn’t she then have wealth and prosperity?
She knew Lu Chengyin was kind, so she tried hard to appear gentle and pitiable, meticulously creating opportunities for private moments. If everything went according to plan, power and wealth would be within her grasp. The more she thought about it, the happier she felt, until she heard a voice not far away: “Brother.”
At the edge of the woods stood two people, exuding an air of respect, smiling warmly at them. The girl’s eyes met theirs, and for some reason, she felt a sense of being surrounded by a murderous aura, especially from the boy who glanced at her, pressing down with a powerful pressure that rendered her unable to move.
Lu Chengyu came over. “What are you doing?”
Lu Heizai hadn’t expected to see his younger brother. He stood up and switched to lecture mode. “Lu Chengyu, why aren’t you eating in the cafeteria? What are you doing here? And you’re even bringing your sister along, not eating. Do you know you’re still growing? I sent you a message and you didn’t listen. See, I caught you, didn’t I?”
