Offer It to My Princess (1)
Shi An: “…?”
The temperature of Mu Heng’s fingertips was searingly hot, with a sense of sheer cold probing silently falling on his body.
But Mu Heng was right about one thing, his active touch as a dragon slayer was more conducive to the magic absorption.
But as the speed of magic absorption accelerated, strange and weird sensations rose in the depths of his body.
Shi An subconsciously curled up his body, trying to shrink himself into a ball.
At that moment, the demon insect’s anxious voice suddenly came to his ears. “My lord! My lord!”
Shi An blinked and it took him two seconds to realize that the demon insect should be communicating with him through his soul.
“The Bureau’s speed is faster than we thought!” Its voice was urgent and desperate. “They have found a way up the mountain and should arrive at your place in about 20 minutes!”
Shi An sobered up from his confused state.
He broke free from Mu Heng’s grasp and tried his best to say in his calmest and most majestic voice, “H-Human, your job here is done. Our deal has ended. You can leave now.”
“Indeed.”
However, unexpectedly, Mu Heng did not let go but only tightened the force of his hand.
He lowered his eyes, gazing at the dragon in front of him with deep, dark eyes and his voice was calm. “Since it was like this, we can fight each other for our lives without any qualms the next time we meet again.”
“At that time, my sword won’t break at your scales anymore.”
Mu Heng’s voice was soft as if he was quietly telling a fact. “I believe your claws also won’t halt before tearing me apart.”
Shi An was stunned and confused about what the other party wanted to say.
“So, I need to say something in advance.”
Mu Heng narrowed his eyes and suddenly recited two familiar syllables lightly, “—Regarding my friend, Shi An.”
Having suddenly been called by his name, Shi An’s heart subconsciously tightened as he lifted his eyes toward Mu Heng.
“Since you have already taken him several times, I think you should be familiar with this name.”
The man dropped his long silver-white eyelashes and his blue eyes were unfathomable.
“He has been involved in this battle, am I right?”
The corners of Mu Heng’s lips were lifted faintly, revealing a shallow smile tinged with hostility. “A species like a dragon won’t be able to resist its natural instinct.”
His voice trailed off. “Coincidentally, I am like that, too.”
“So, I will cut open your chest, scoop out your heart, and offer it to my princess before you can take him away again next time.”
“The deal is done.”
After saying that, Mu Heng slowly let go of his hand.
“—I look forward to our next meeting.”
Shi An’s brain was a bit chaotic, unable to process such a hefty amount of information for a moment there.
At this moment, the demon insect’s voice came to his ears. “My lord! My lord, have you come out of the cave?”
Only then did Shi An come back to his senses as an afterthought.
Have to go.
The giant dragon unfolded the wings on its back and flew toward the outside of the cave overhead.
When its figure disappeared into the cave overhead, the externally applied spell dissipated instantly.
“Quick! They should be out front!”
Noisy voices and messy footsteps approached the cave at the top of the mountain.
Wen Yao led her subordinates to come with the fastest speed.
As she approached the cave, she saw a familiar figure slowly walking out of the cave from afar.
Wen Yao was surprised and happy. “Chief!”
Mu Heng’s jacket had been torn, the clothes on his body still carried dried blood, and his silver hair was scattered over his shoulders, a wretched mess that Wen Yao had never seen before, but, although his face was pale, the look on the man’s face was still the usual indifference and calmness as if all crises were not enough to be feared.
At the moment of seeing the other side, that familiar, powerful sense of reassurance finally returned.
Wen Yao sighed with relief and her eyes were almost damp. “Great, you’re all right.”
She looked around and frowned somewhat doubtfully. “That… dragon…”
Mu Heng flippantly interrupted her, “He left.”
With a steady, composed step, he surpassed Wen Yao and walked downward. “Help me contact Zhuo Fu.”
The man narrowed his dark blue eyes.
“He has something to return to me.”
Although these few days were brief, one thing had become very clear to Mu Heng–
Without the sword, it was impossible to slay the dragon.
The dragon’s body was covered with indestructible scales without any weak points. The reason it was so relieved to stay in his arms was also probably because it was aware that, with his current means, he could not hurt it in the slightest.
Because of this, Mu Heng decided to “cooperate” with the dragon.
After spending a few days with the dragon, Mu Heng’s desire to kill the dragon became more urgent.
This desire was deep and pure, not mixed with any love, hatred, likes, or dislikes.
He just had to get it done.
And before this purpose was accomplished, except for death, nothing could make Mu Heng stop the pursuit.
He took off his jacket, threw it away, took a new pair of gloves from Wen Yao’s hand, and walked downward while giving orders efficiently and quickly.
“Where is Shi An?” Mu Heng asked as he withdrew his eyes and looked at Wen Yao.
At this moment, he noticed that Wen Yao suddenly stopped her pace, revealing a hesitant look of desire to speak.
A hint of an unsettling premonition rose in Mu Heng’s heart.
He slowly narrowed his eyes and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Wen Yao took a deep breath, gathered enough courage, and said with difficulty, “Sir, this subordinate is incompetent…”
She gritted her teeth and said, “Shi An… hasn’t been found until now.”
Mu Heng’s complexion suddenly became cold.
His voice was extremely sharp like an ice blade that had been polished sharp. “What did you just say?”
Since the dragon had been staying with him these days and Shi An’s strength was not bad, Mu Heng always thought Shi An had long been out of danger.
Wen Yao spoke with difficulty. “I-I have dispatched a search party during the day that abyssal rift disappeared and searched everywhere within the school, but the school’s area is too large and without enough personnel–”
“After you’re treated, I will use every force….”
Wen Yao worriedly gazed at her superior and assured with an extremely earnest attitude.
However, Mu Heng acted as if he didn’t hear her.
His face was cold and sullen as he gritted his teeth word by word and said, “Gather everyone at once.”
