Definitely not about raising dragons
Chapter 112
The human's palm was dry and warm, stroking down the spine with just the right amount of force and an even rhythm.
Shi An was jerked off so comfortably that the whole dragon went limp on Mu Hang's knee.
He stomped his paws happily, rolled over, and exposed his belly defenselessly:
"Yes, yes, I slept for a long time before, just in time for the last molt, after absorbing the dragon's molt cleanly, the rutting period came, but don't worry, I've already suppressed it with a potion."
Shi An narrowed her eyes lazily.
Mu Hang's movement paused, "You've only just molted?"
Little dragon grunted in reply.
"How many times?" Mu Hang asked with downcast eyes.
"For the fourth time, before I molted, I was a super powerful and handsome black color." Shi An waved his tail proudly, he paused for a moment, and then added in an even prouder tone, "And of course I look great now too."
Mu Hang "hmmm", his voice deep, "Indeed."
"But don't most dragons only have three times?"
He frowned and asked.
"Seems like an Abyssal Gargoyle would have to do it once more than any other dragon, but since I'm the only one, I don't have a kindred spirit to refer to." Shi An naturally raised her chin, and swiped the back of Mu Hang's hand with her tail in a not-so-gentle manner.
"You don't have a kindred spirit?"
Mu Hang received the hint and tickled its thin neck with his fingertips, "Not even before you fell asleep?"
"No eh."
Shi An thought for a moment and said, "At least not since I opened my eyes."
"When I first broke out of my shell I thought that a nearby nest of black dragons were my kin, but I ran over and was chased out, and it took me a long time to figure out that I was the last of my kind." Shi An's throat rumbled twice, narrowed his eyes happily, and replied lightly.
But Mu Hang couldn't help but pause for a moment as he stroked Little dragon.
Inexplicably, his heart sank.
A small black dragon that had just broken out of its shell came to mind.
The scales are still soft and have not yet learned to fly, only fluttering their wings awkwardly.
Naively and blindly believing that the black dragon not far away was his family, he stumbled hard in that direction, but was met with boundless indifference and hostility.
Never seen any of his own kind since birth.
How lonely that would be on this strange and vast continent.
Mu Hang pursed his lips and pressed his palm against Little dragon's belly, stroking it one at a time:
"And then?"
"That nest of black dragons?" Shi An blinked those golden russet dragon pupils and said in an innocent and harmless tone, "Then when I grew up, I flew back and burned down their house and robbed them of all their treasures."
Mu Hang: "......"

The second time Wen Yao and Zhuo Fu arrived, Shi An waited for his bag as expected.
The silver-white Little dragon crouched by Zhuo Fu's hand, his bright golden-red pupils looking expectantly at the human in front of him.
After such a long time, the psychological shadow of witnessing the dragon's might before had finally disappeared.
Looking at the delicate and cute Little Silver Dragon in front of him like a toy, Zhuo Fu could not help but feel a little itchy.
However, given Mu Hang's cold stare, Zhuo Fu prided himself on not having to cough uncontrollably, and took the magic expansion pouch out of his pocket.
Since that day, the bag has been kept in one of Administration's top-rated, insured warehouses.
Due to the secrecy of the dragon's existence, all the evidence related to the dragon was not turned in, but kept privately by them.
No one dares to move without Mu Hang's approval.
"Yes! That's it!"
Little dragon grabbed his bag with an impatient paw and fluttered his wings toward the room, dropping a quick, "Thanks a lot," on his way out.
Shi An flew back to her room in a fury, dropping the bag onto the carpet.
As soon as they opened the mouth of the bag, the three demons that had been locked up for a long time rushed out with a brain.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"Charge!!!"
"Damn human eat my punch!"
They wailed and wailed as they flailed their unattackable arms and legs in an attempt to give the first human to open the bag a hard time.
Shi An: "......"
He slowly pulled back a small step.
The three demons pounced.
The three of them tripped over each other and soon fell to the ground in unison, looking both miserable and amused.
Until the Demon Worms looked up and saw Little Silver Dragon crouching in front of them.
It stayed for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into hot tears and cried out in a voice full of emotion, "My lord !!!!"
We've been worried sick about you for the past few days--"
Even the ever-composed Black Smoke looked very excited:
"Great lord, you came to save us, I knew that group of humans were no threat to you at all, so what if they are Mu Hang! You are always the strongest!"
"Hmph!" Eyeball blustered and waved his thin arm, "It's a good thing he escaped quickly, or I'd have to give him a taste of my fist!"
The three demons in front of her mingled their squeaky voices together, making Shi An's head hurt.
However, he quickly caught the key word in it.
Little dragon cocked his head, "You guys looking for Mu Hang?"
He pointed with his wing to the door, "He'll be back in a few minutes."
Magic Worm: "......"
Black Smoke: "......"
Eyeball: "......"
Huh?
They stared dumbfounded at the dragon before them for a long time.
Wait a minute, isn't it time that Lord Gargoyle realized they were gone and attacked the human headquarters in a mighty and heroic manner, and after displaying his toughness and majesty, sailed away, leaving a bunch of humans trembling in fear?
That's when Wraith saw the silver shackles on Shi An's claws.
After only a few days, more human scents appeared on the dragon in front of him.
Yes, it's Mu Hang.
Its pupils shrank, revealing an incredulous expression, "Could ...... could ...... it be?"
That damned human, did he do such a thing to Gargoyle-sama!!!!
...... Gosh!
Beastly, shameless, underhanded, vile!
Countless bridges of dark violence with a touch of yellow were rotating through the demon bug's mind.
It looked forlorn and shaky, "My lord, are you, are you alright?"
Shi An thought for a moment, "It's pretty good."
There's ice cream and video games and shiny humans at his disposal.
But the Demon Worm in front of him looked as if it had been hit harder.
Shi An followed its gaze towards her paw:
"Oh, you mean that."
He wiggled his paws prettily, his silver chain jingling as he cheerfully showed off:
"Mu Hang sent me!"
Three Devils: "......"
It was at this point that the silver chain, which had lost its confinement, naturally popped free, and Shi An pawed it back again, letting it pile up at her feet, "Isn't it pretty?"
Three Devils: ".................."
Huh? Not locked up?
Wait? This thing isn't quite what we thought it would be ......
It was clear that they hadn't seen each other for only a few short days, but they felt as if they had disappeared from the world for centuries.
Why does it feel a little out of step with the times?
What's going on here?
The magic bug blinked and slowly looked around the room he was now in.
It's big, it's luxurious.
The bed was made of pure gold, with all kinds of precious stones shining brightly, the floor was covered with a thick, expensive shag carpet, and there were exotic treasures piled up everywhere, which looked very old and precious, and the Mu family crest was branded on it, but at the moment it was simply piled up in a heap on the floor, which also had traces left by the dragons rolling around in it.
A bizarre and absurd speculation surfaced from the demonic worm's mind.
It thought about it, and thought about it, and then finally couldn't hold back, and asked slowly, dolefully:
"My lord, you wouldn ...... t have been underwritten, would you?"
*
Zhuo Fu lowered his head and looked at his fingertips that had just been brushed by the dragon's wings and screamed inwardly.
He actually did run into a dragon! A living dragon! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!
And cool eh.
Zhuo Fu couldn't help but laugh a couple of times, "hehehehehehe".
Mu Hang narrowed his eyes silently, his eyes icy.
Zhuo Fu A chill down his back: "......"
He looked up and met Mu Hang's cold eyes.
Zhuo Fu shivered and hurriedly sat upright, lowered his head, looked at his eyes and nose, and made a very serious look.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I didn't even touch it, it was just rubbed against me!
He mentally wailed.
Wen Yao doesn't seem to notice the undercurrent.
She pulled out a thick stack of documents from her bag and handed it to Mu Hang, saying succinctly, "This is all the intelligence and movements gathered by the Administration during the recent period, please take a look, sir."
Mu Hang took the file and flipped through it carefully.
In the past few days, Administration and the other senior officers of the administrative district had not given up searching for the dragon, but without Mu Hang's assistance, they had gotten very few clues.
Since that day's melee, the mercenary group remained unaccounted for.
The black-robed man and the pagans under him were likewise, as if they had disappeared from the entire continent.
However, underneath the seemingly calm performance, there seems to be some dark tide.
Reports of unusual magic around various areas have increased nearly fivefold from usual.
It even detected some unknown substance in the air.
News of demonic attacks were appearing frequently from all over the world, many clans were urgently asking for help, and strange whispers began to spread on the internet.
Zhuo Fu added: "Recently, the testing instruments we have set up around the country have captured a lot of abnormal data, but the samples are still too small at this point, and we should have to wait for some time before we know the exact results."
Mu Hang narrows his eyes thoughtfully.
He flipped to the last page of the quest list and scanned up and down, then tapped the last entry with his fingertip:
"I'll take this one."
Mu Hang stood up, tossed the papers to Wen Yao, and coldly instructed, "Get ready, we'll be leaving soon."
Wen Yao took the file and looked down.
What had just been pointed out by Mu Hang was a quest for help issued by a clan located at the edge of the Central District.
It also seems to be the victim of recent anomalies.
Unlike other quests, its bounty was not money, but a sapphire that had been passed down in their family for thousands of years.
Wen Yao: "......"
She looked up toward the Mu Hang in front of her.
The silver-haired man was cold and upright, with a pair of blue eyes that were awe-inspiring and had a powerful aura that rejected people.
Icy, high-minded, arrogant.
She's overthinking it, isn't she?
It must be that she's overthinking it!
The chief must have had his own considerations in choosing this mission, definitely not for the sake of raising dragons ......
Right?
*
Later that night, Mu Hang sat in his chair, stroking the dragon's spine with one hand.
He had the file spread out in front of him with all the information on that family.
Membership, strength, surrounding terrain, demonic composition.
The reason for the anomaly, and the dilemma facing this family, the specifics of the mission, and so on.
The last page is a picture.
Among them was a large, brilliant sapphire, flashing dazzlingly in the light, as if the stars had fallen to earth, at a glance it was not extraordinary.
Little dragon, who was lying on his knee, said it in a tone of awe as his eyes widened and he slowly straightened up:
"Look good!"
Mu Hang gently stroked Little dragon's spine along the lines of his scales.
He lowered his eyes, they were deep and dark, and his voice was low as he asked carelessly, "Do you like it?"
Shi An nodded vigorously, "Uh-huh!"
"Want?"
Shi An nodded harder, "Mmmmm!!!"
"Then, next time you become human, let me touch your tail." Mu Hang's voice was low, with a hint of seduction, "Okay?"
