The Mean Princess who guards the dragon

Chapter 125

After dinner, Mu Hang asks Shi An if he is ready to enter the canyon at night or to rest for the night in the hotel.

It's simply not a matter of hesitation.

The earlier experience of being frozen in the snowy night was too much to bear.

Although it was no longer winter, the temperature here was still very low compared to the outside world, and as a dragon that was very afraid of the cold, Shi An was not prepared to go through that painful experience again.

Plus ......

He'd had enough work today!

Not only did it span two districts, but it cleaned up so many cracks.

--Though it was mainly Mu Hang's doing, Shi An took credit for these things without guilt.

It's time to take a break.

Mu Hang nodded, "I'll book a room then."

Shi An: "Order two rooms!"

As a dignified dragon, of course, you have to occupy the whole room by yourself.

Mu Hang stood still and craned his head:

"...... Are you sure?"

Shi An: "?"

"Am I not your trophy?"

The man lowered his eyes and said nonchalantly:

"Normally, dragons guard their trophies at all times to prevent escape, right?"

Shi An was stunned.

And rightly so.

The three creatures grimaced and dug back into the bag, but still left a small crack for eavesdropping.

At the sound of their conversation, a deathly silence fell over the entire bag.

Eyes popped up in anger:

"Despicable human!!!"

It jumped and raged at the bottom of the bag:

"Will he run! He'll be damned if he'll run! If he did, he'd have run already!"

The Demon Worm gritted his teeth in hatred:

"Flowery words and bad intentions!"

At that moment, through the gap in the bag, Shi An's voice came:

"You're right, it's still one room then."

Three Devils: "......"

The three of them hugged and cried in pain.

My lord! You're too easy to fool! Don't be like that!

As the only inn outside of Avon Canyon, although the area here is not large, after all, it often receives Ability Users with a good flow of money, so as long as you are willing to spend money, you can always enjoy the best service.

--And Mu Hang happens to be the type of customer who has a lot of money.

They took the elevator to the top floor of the inn.

Shi An pushes open the door, staring at the large bed in front of her with some confusion:

"Is there only one bed here?"

"That's all that's left in this class of room."

Mu Hang said without changing his expression.

He craned his head to Shi An , adding, "But the more inferior rooms have two beds, do you need me to change them?"

What? Second class?

Shi An shook his head firmly.

If he didn't know about it, it's okay, but now that he knows about it, of course he wants to live in the best!

"......"

The three demons in the bag looked at each other and once again clung together, letting out a wail in unison.

My lord! This human he is disturbed!

You have to see the true nature of his evil intentions!

Mu Hang smiles slightly and sidles up to open the door for Shi An.

As a human being being held hostage, he was obviously very aware of his position, and so the first thing he did upon entering was to attend to Shi An's removal of his coat and help him unpack his magical expansion pouch.

--and then naturally pinched the gap that had been left in the bag.

The three demons in the bag waited for a long, long time, but none of them ever heard anything again.

They looked at each other in disbelief, clearly puzzled by the sudden quiet outside.

Wraith crawled to the opening and probed:

"......"

Its face darkened.

The Demon Worm turned back with a sullen face, furious and gritting his teeth:

"That doggie Mu Hang closed the bag!!!"

Humans!

Despicable and shameless!

*

Outside the bag.

Shi An finished her bath and habitually nestled into Mu Hang's arms, letting the other man dry her hair.

Mu Hang fulfills his obligations with dedication and without complaint.

--if one ignores the fact that he's slowed down and stretched the whole process to many times its original size.

He dropped his eyes and put one arm around Shi An's waist.

The teenager's body temperature was on the low side, and his slender and supple torso leaned into his arms defenselessly, and through a thin layer of slightly damp fabric, he was able to distinctly feel the other party's slightly cool and delicate skin.

The moist aroma of shower gel being steamed and warmed lingered in his nose.

And ......

With a slight lowering of his head, he could see his opponent's unguardedly open neckline.

Soft white shoulder and neck curves, clear lines of the collarbone, and then go deeper, vaguely visible is hidden in the shadow of the collar, half hidden light pink color.

The knot in Mu Hang's throat twitched, and it took a great deal of willpower to just barely restrain his greedily probing eyes.

Shi An yawned:

"Why isn't it ready?"

"...... Okay." Mu Hang said in a muffled voice as his fingers closed.

It's not time yet.

For the time being ......

Not until then.

After all, the class of the room was where it was at, and although there was only one bed, it was an extremely large one.

Although she had slept for seven or eight hours on the road this afternoon, Shi An still fell asleep as soon as she hit the pillow.

The teenager curled himself into a ball out of habit, the entire dragon curled up in the soft quilt and pillows, almost completely submerged, and he stayed dutifully on one side of the bed, with a long distance between him and Mu Hang on the other side.

Mu Hang craned his head to look at the heating unit that had been turned off.

Five minutes later.

The icy Little dragon rubbed itself in its sleep, habitually arching toward the warm source of heat.

The vile princess who was guarding the dragon smiled slightly and happily gathered the sleeping humanoid dragon into her arms.

He lowered his eyes and dropped a soft kiss on the top of the other man's hair.

Good night, my owner.

*

Nightfall.

The entire canyon was shrouded in a thick layer of darkness.

As time went on, this darkness grew deeper and thicker, and in the end it had congealed into a solid mass, beyond the limits of what could be achieved at night.

An eerie aura spread from the canyon, spreading and intruding in the direction of the hotel.

In the midst of the endless darkness, several shadows that shimmered with a ghastly white light poured out of the canyon and stumbled in the direction of the canyon beyond.

The demons could smell that fresh, delicious human scent was coming from that direction.

Mu Hang suddenly opened his eyes.

In the midst of a chaotic darkness, the man's blue eyes appeared sober and biting.

He craned his head and looked out the window in some direction.

Something is approaching.

It was clear that the rift was doing more than he had predicted; the others were probably still in the process of alienating, while this one had clearly begun to expand.

Mu Hang twisted his head to look at Shi An, who was sleeping beside him, and then carefully pulled his arm out from under the teenager's head, followed by quietly donning his coat and turning to head out the door, taking the liberty of turning the heat back on before he left.

After this, Mu Hang took the elevator down to the lobby.

The inn employees on the night shift were gathered in the lobby, looking out the closed door in nervousness and alarm.

Though they weren't able to sense the aura of the demonic creature, they were able to hear vague noises coming from the darkness, like footsteps or a low growl, wrapping around them from all directions.

At the sight of Mu Hang, it was as if they had seen a savior:

"My God, sir, it's a good thing you're here!"

One of the front desk employees said in shock, "There have been incidents of nighttime attacks by magical creatures some time ago, but they basically happened in the canyon ...... didn't expect ...... didn't expect ......"

The other huffed and added:

"This, this is the first time they've invaded this far out."

Mu Hang raised his eyes and looked fixedly in some direction in the darkness.

In the next second, the cold light of a longsword surfaced in his palm as he spoke calmly:

"You guys get in the back."

"Good ...... good! Thank you so much!"

A few employees were like amnesties and rushed to hide towards the interior of the inn.

After a short period of silence, the demonic creature outside suddenly let out a frantic howl, a sharp and frantic sound, like a sharp blade capable of cutting through the night, straight through the thick door panels and into the interior of the inn.

Immediately afterward, only the sound of breaking glass was heard, and several demonic creatures rushed in impatiently, eagerly pouncing on the delicious feast of blood and flesh.

But what greeted them was a merciless sword light.

As the sharp blades broke through the night, the few demons that were the first to rush in had already been split into several pieces and landed on the ground.

Mu Hang furrowed his brow and lowered his eyes towards the demonic corpse on the ground.

They were broken up into pieces, but were clearly not dead, and the flesh and blood of the skin where they had not been wounded by the blade seemed to have rotted away, and the white bones could be seen under the irregular holes.

Undead species.

Mu Hang's frown tightened.

The undead species were much more difficult to deal with than the other magical creatures, so it seemed that a quick battle was not possible.

With the pilot demon attacking, the rest of the demons rushed towards the inn as if they had gotten a signal.

Several of the able-bodied people who lived in the store heard the rattling and descended into the front room.

At the sight of Mu Hang, they were all shocked, obviously not expecting that the legendary one who was the strongest to be here.

Although they were facing an army of berserked undead species, the ability users instantly gained confidence and joined the battle as well.

Soon, the halls of the inn became a mess, like the passage of a typhoon, with the vast majority of the decorations and artifacts completely destroyed, the foul-smelling blood of the demons everywhere, and the doors and windows of the store demolished as much as they could be, with the whistling cold wind pouring into them.

Mu Hang stood at the front, his back straight and unshakable like a centerpiece.

It was at this moment that a slightly sleepy teenage voice sounded from behind:

"What's going on here?"

The unshakable centering stone faltered.

Mu Hang turned around and, with one long leg, rushed to the teenager's side as fast as he could:

"How did you get down here?"

He frowned and lifted a hand to remove the coat he was draped in, wrapping it around the thinly clad Shi An:

"Was it loud?"

With the loss of Mu Hang at the top, the pressure on the rest of the ability users increased: "......"

Sir, why have you changed your style all of a sudden?

Shi An thought for a moment, "Sort of."

In fact, he was a ridiculously good sleeper, even in the arms of a Mu Hang in the middle of a battle he could sleep for hours on end, plus their location was on the top floor, so it wasn't really that noisy.

The reason for waking up ...... is still mainly because the source of warmth is gone.

Shi An gathered her fingers around the collar of her coat and raised her eyes towards the back of Mu Hang.

The eyes skimmed over the ruined hall and looked into the darkness outside.

In the next second, the teenager raised his eyebrows slightly, a look of surprise on his face:

"...... eh?"

Mu Hang was stunned.

He watched as Shi An crossed past him toward the already destroyed front door.

The ability users were distracted and could only cry out anxiously:

"Watch out! Don't go over there!"

But the teenager acted as if he hadn't heard it, standing still at the junction between indoors and outdoors, and then whistled.

"Click," "click"--

Heavy footsteps sounded from outside.

In the dark shadows, a huge skeleton horse appeared in front of the door, it was more than one person tall, the white bones on its body took on a strange ghastly greenish color, ghastly bone spurs protruded from its legs, and purple flames burned in its black sockets, it looked icy cold and crazy.

It pawed at the ground with its front hooves and let out an agitated hiss.

"Did you forget about me?" Shi An cocked her head and looked at the skeletal horse in front of her with some disappointment.

"Danger! Back off!!!" The shouts of the ability came from behind them.

They were able to sense that there was a powerful force in this undead species that almost shook their souls.

It's over ......

This weak looking teenager was afraid that he would be killed soon!

The teenager raised his hand and a cluster of golden-red flames sprang from his fingertips.

He smiled through his teeth, his already soft features looking even more harmless, "Now what, remember?"

Skeleton Horse: "......"

The horrific experience of being violently split and then having the leg bones burned as firewood is repeated.

In the sockets of those blackened eyes, the violet flame leapt in alarm, and blue flames of light emerged from it.

Finished.

How did we meet this devil again!

Looking at the smiling teenager in front of him, already the terrifying dragon flame leaping from the other party's fingertips, the skeletal horse couldn't help but soften his horse's legs.

It took a trembling step back, then let out a hiss-

That hiss rang through the night sky.

The undead species that had been attacking frantically just a moment ago stopped as if they had been ordered to do so, they glanced in the direction of the inn and then scurried back into the night without looking back.

"......" The Abilities didn't slow down a bit for a moment.

What's the situation?

Immediately afterward, they saw the terrifying skeletal horse slowly hang its head.

Like a sign of submission.

Abilities fall into a daze in unison: "........................ "

I must be dreaming.
