Isn’t it Just a Matter of Letting Mu Heng Touch More? (1)
Shi An: “!!!”
The tug was all too familiar and the burning body heat of a human penetrated his scaly armor, causing him to stiffen slightly.
At the same time, the stubborn gray magic finally showed signs of loosening in front of him.
As the magic was absorbed, the shadows in his mind began slowly dissipating as his eyes opened. Shi An felt himself becoming a little more awake.
A large number of familiar images flooded his mind.
The artificial abyssal rift, the suspected ore that belonged to him, the strange black-robed man, the white beard dyed red under the old man’s head…
And then what?
… He couldn’t remember.
Shi An frowned, trying hard to recall.
But the next memory seemed covered with a thick layer of fog, leaving only a layer of shadows.
He had a vague notion that he was seeing Mu Heng everywhere.
It should be an illusion. After all, he was now a dragon–
Shi An habitually tried to shake his tail, but it was not withdrawn at once as if imprisoned by some force.
What?
He subconsciously turned his head to look.
The next second, he locked eyes with Mu Heng.
The silver-haired man was half leaning on his body, with a pair of light blue eyes half squinted, appearing cold and distant in the darkness.
His tail was loosely wrapped around the other man’s waist, and the other man’s hand was…
The other person’s hand was at the tip of his tail.
Shi An: “…”
It was like a blow to the head, hitting his head hard and making him dizzy. His mind went blank.
In that instant, the layer of fog in his mind dissipated.
Mu Heng saw that the dragon that had been sleeping seemed to be awakened, suddenly opened its eyes and turned its head in this direction to look at him.
An instant delay occurred when the pair of golden-red vertical pupils fell on his body.
The next second, that pair of flame-like eyes widened slightly and the original narrow pupils suddenly enlarged and became round.
That look was almost like…
Panic?
Mu Heng was stunned and could not help but slightly pause his movements.
As he was lost in thought, Mu Heng felt that his hand that was clutching the tip of the tail was suddenly jerked away with force.
Immediately after that, a feeling of vertigo hit him.
Mu Heng was caught off guard in the harsh whistling wind and fell backward.
He subconsciously used his long sword to stabilize himself.
When Mu Heng raised his head again, he saw the dragon heading toward the cave overhead with great speed and disappeared from his sight in the blink of an eye.
It was as if it was fleeing.
Mu Heng momentarily failed to react. “…”
After a long time, he lowered his head and glanced at his empty palm.
The touch of the other side’s tail remained in his palm, cold, hard, with a bit of imperceptible flexibility. By the moment the tip of the tail was drawn out from the center of his palm, it brought an almost tingling pain.
Mu Heng was sure that this was the first time he had touched a dragon.
But somehow, this feeling… was inexplicably familiar.
***
The harsh, icy wind whistled past his face.
After almost hitting a few peaks on the side in a daze several times, Shi An finally slowed down.
He flapped his wings and landed on a jagged and perilous peak.
Gazing at the quiet night before him, Shi An began to think seriously about his dragon life.
Then, the stupid things he had done in the past two days came back to his mind little by little.
Shi An: “…”
The wind from above was icy, but it couldn't even half reduce the heat surging up madly under his scales.
He wanted to bury himself into his wings and let out a miserable scream.
AHHHHH!
At that moment, a few wind-blown shouts came from the distant night wind.
“My lord… my lord–”
Shi An was stunned and opened his eyes to look in the direction where the voices came.
Only to see Black Smoke swirl the demon insect and the Eye with the fastest speed, panting and drifting toward his direction.
Shi An was surprised and delighted.
“You guys have followed me here!”
The demon insect cried out. “To tell the truth, my lord, we have been doing it for these past two days.”
They had been trying to get close to the dragon for two days, but in his new state, Shi An was highly hostile to all the creatures that came near him.
Other than the first day when they barely got close to the dragon’s lair, after that, every time they tried to get close, they almost got burned to death.
So, in the end, the three demonic creatures had to crouch in the mountains not far away, constantly watching the movement of this side.
Until today, upon seeing Shi An staggering and hurriedly flying out, only then did they hold on to the hope that Shi An had recovered and secretly followed.
Shi An asked, “So, did you guys see all those things I’ve done in an unsober state during this time?”
The three demonic creatures looked at each other and nodded their heads.
Shi An: “…”
… Isn’t this a public execution? Damn it!
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Shame was one thing, but more importantly… how could this matter end now?
He couldn’t leave Mu Heng in the cave as there were spells he cast when he was not clear-headed.
His strength had not recovered and they were too far from the Luosi District. Meanwhile, the Bureau should also be looking for him and Mu Heng all over the mainland–
So, there was no way to turn him into an amber now.
Should he sneak back and release the people?
But, as a dragon, he didn’t have any reason to do so… Mu Heng could easily become suspicious.
Shi An was caught in a dilemma.
Neither stay nor let go.
The worst thing was that he was the one who created this dilemma.
He looked at the three demonic creatures before him with hope. “So, do you guys have any ideas to solve this?”
The three demonic creatures: “…”
They fell into silence in unison.
Shi An wilted down.
He should have known that these three magical creatures were useless except for coming up with bad ideas.
Shi An closed his eyes in despair.
Is it possible to turn back time?
Please!
