Something Very Important
Chapter 142
Shi An blinked, glancing down at the ring at the base of her finger, then twisted her head toward an entire warehouse of treasure behind her, confirming it as an afterthought:
"Are these all mine too?"
"Yes."
"Including the Mu family?" Shi An cocked her head with some difficulty in understanding.
The silver-haired man leaned down, his gesture gentle and reverent, his warm lips imprinting on the junction of ring and skin.
Shi An shivered slightly at the burn.
The other man raised his eyes, his deep, fiery gaze falling on the teenager, and smiled:
"Including the Mu family."
Shi An lowered her head, and the silver-white ring of the articulated serpent glittered on her finger.
He pursed his lips, reached up and tweaked the ring, wondering if it was the ring's glare that made his face seem a little hot.
Shi An thought for a moment, raised his eyes towards Mu Hang, and said seriously:
"It doesn't matter if the Mu family is mine or not."
The large, silvery-white tail wagged, silently wrapping around Mu Hang's waist, slowly tightening in a possessive gesture:
Shi An said rightfully, "It's enough that you're mine."
Mu Hang's eyelashes fluttered and his breath caught for a moment.
Shi An dragged the other man by his tail, then leaned down, licking the man's lower lip with the tip of his soft tongue.
Immediately afterward, he seemed to think of something and added:
"--But I'll take the treasure in your family's storehouse."
Mu Hang stifled a laugh.
He nodded, "Good."
The man tilted his head back, holding the teenager's knees with one hand and gathering the back of the other's neck with the other, deepening the shallow kiss.
The kiss was wet and passionate until the mountain of treasure that supported their weight behind them clattered.
With a clink of metal on metal, the two were forced apart.
Mu Hang, a deep dark color brewing under his blue eyes, as if an endless desire was rolling over him, trapped the teenager between the square inches of his arms, licked the corners of his still watery lips, and said in a muffled voice:
"Shall we continue?"
Layers of watery light rippled in the bottom of Shi An's eyes, and her breath caught a little, the tip of her tail wrapped around the human's waist shivering involuntarily.
He was giddy with the other man's burning breath and tried to nod.
But at that moment, Shi An's eyes widened slightly as if she had suddenly thought of something:
"Oops! Wait a minute! I almost forgot!"
He reached down and pulled out his magic expansion pouch and opened the mouth of it.
The three demons rushed out in a fiery rage.
"Where is the lord, where is the lord?"
"So we made it?"
In the next second, they immediately saw where the adults were now.
Shi An nestled in the arms of the silver-haired human, her long tail wrapped around the other's waist.
And the human was holding the teenage form of the gargoyle in his arms, a pair of dark, sunken eyes narrowed slightly, and his icy sight fell on them as if they were as sharp and cold as ice picks, with a bit of obscure displeasure.
Three Devils: "......"
They froze in place in unison, the words that hadn't come out of their mouths stuck in their throats, and there was a sudden urge to burrow back into the bag again.
At least the answer to the third question on ...... is obvious enough.
This look is a success.
The black smoke and eyeballs slowly twisted their heads and looked in unison at the demonic insects behind them.
The corner of Devil Worm's mouth twitched, ".................."
Although it was half right in its prediction, why didn't it feel happy at all?
Sir, you really forgot about us as soon as you returned to the mainland, didn't you? !!!!
Shi An : "You are in charge of bringing in all the treasures in my bag and organizing them properly oh."
Although he really likes to stay with his treasures, it's not safe to carry his entire fortune on his back all the time, plus Shi An's main purpose of collecting treasures is to lie down and sleep in them, which he can't do if he's always carrying them in a bag.
Especially after a trip back and forth in the abyss, Shi An The amount of treasure is more than before, a cave may not fit anymore, he is worried about where to place his loot.
"......"
The three demons looked gray.
As soon as I was released, I was put on hard labor, woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo.
Mu Hang looked at the three demons not far away for a few moments, knocking his chin gently on the top of the teenager's head and speaking absently:
"Those toys of yours are quite useful."
Eyes snapped up in exasperation:
"Who are you calling a toy!"
Although they were completely unable to defeat the human in front of them, that didn't mean they would accept such an insult!
Shi An thought for a moment, "Don't you say that, I don't think they can be considered toys."
"!!!"
The three demonic creatures were stunned, and a touched look appeared on their faces at the same time.
We were wrong about you before.
"Oh?" Mu Hang asked, raising an eyebrow, "Which counts for what?"
Shi An thought for a moment and said, "Pet."
Three Devils: "............"
"And sometimes slaves." Shi An added.
Three Devils: "........................ ......"
Uh-huh.
It's still a toy.
The toys are pretty good.
After settling the whereabouts of the treasure, Mu Hang would have wanted to continue with what had not been accomplished earlier, but at this juncture, Zhuo Fu sent a message.
Mu Hang ignored the message from the other side.
But the next second, the request for a visual came through - URGENT!!!!
Followed closely by three exclamation points.
Mu Hang took a deep breath, raised a hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, and gritted his teeth, "Connect."
Seeing the video link finally connecting, Zhuo Fu breathed a sigh of relief, "Great, I thought I couldn't reach--"
But his words were only just in mid-sentence when they caught in his throat.
The man on the screen had a cold face and a slow, deep voice:
"...... Cut the crap and get down to business."
Zhuo Fu: "......"
I don't know if it was his illusion, although the man in front of him still had that expressionless look, it always felt as if the other party's line of sight had become icy cold, and even through the screen, it still caused him to shiver and stutter as he opened his mouth:
"Well ...... is that just now I received reports that the pollution index in two areas has exploded, so if you're going to continue to collect mediums made from the corpses of dragons, it's best to start with these two areas- "
While members of the Combat Section led by Wen Yao handled the search and roundup of the infidels, the contaminated locations still needed to be dealt with by Mu Hang.
The time Shi An had disappeared wasn't long, but it was enough for those cracks to alienate and expand.
The danger level of the few locations that are now being left is completely beyond what the ordinary members of the Administration can handle.
This is especially true in the two areas where the indexes are now so high that no one but Mu Hang can handle them.
Zhuo Fu said as he skillfully sent the location over.
The next second after the localization was delivered, he cut off the video feed as fast as he could and fled from the other man's eyes with fire.
After the icy vision on the other side of the screen disappeared, he breathed a sigh of relief and slowly leaned back, pouring himself a cup of coffee.
Zhuo Fu shook his head with some lamentation as he held his coffee cup.
Really, what's the point of being so mean.
It's not like he's interrupting anything very important--
Zhuo Fu: "......"
His fingers shook slightly and the hot coffee spilled, scalding him with an ow.
Zhuo Fu put the coffee cup down while his hands were busy wiping the coffee stains on the table.
...... No, I don't think so.
It can't be that coincidental, can it?
He was a little out of his depth.
However, recalling the look in the other party's eyes just now, Zhuo Fu couldn't help but shiver a little.
...... If it's true, then he's screwed ah!
*
The information Zhuo Fu gave was very accurate, although the timing was off.
The residents near these two areas had all been evacuated, and about nearly a kilometer in circumference were shrouded in a dangerous magical pressure, and the terrifying aura emanating from it could be felt from afar.
The alienated demons lurked in the darkness, letting out manic growls that were particularly creepy in the endless surge of darkness.
Mu Hang frowned slightly.
The area was so large that even he felt a bit tricky.
"What's wrong?" The teenager cocked his head and looked over.
Mu Hang lowered his eyes and smiled at him, his voice low and gentle, "Nothing, just trying to think of a better place to start."
"What the heck ......"
Shi An yawned, "Wouldn't it be better to just take it all in one pot?"
Mu Hang was stunned and turned his head to look at Shi An.
Only to see the other party smiling faintly at him, and underneath his long eyelashes, a pair of golden ruddy vertical pupils flashed with a demonic and dazzling light:
"Remember what I said before?"
The young man's voice was clear and soft, with a slightly elongated ending that sounded as if he was softly pampered, "I've already regained my strength during the time I was in the abyss!"
Shi An looked at Mu Hang with bright eyes:
"Want to see it?"
Mu Hang nodded submissively, "I guess."
Only the teenager tilted his head, and an ancient and elegant chant flowed out of his throat, like some long-forgotten song, bringing up strange fluctuations in the air.
Stars and dots of fire elementals gathered and swirled back in the air.
The fire burned in the air without any medium to rely on, like a huge cloud of flames, standing below and being able to feel the terrifying heat that could almost scorch the skin.
The piece of flame converged into the shape of a giant dragon, its body burning with scarlet flames, its eyes seeming like torches lit up in the darkness, and with a suffocating pressure, it soared into the air in a circling spiral, letting out a furious roar with blazing fire.
In the next second, the entirety of the dragon, which was condensed from blazing fire, swooped down!
The air was ignited, the flames spread, and everything began to burn.
It took but a few short seconds for that huge area of contaminated area to be cleared out in its entirety, the sheer crushing power coloring half the sky red, and then in an instant the whole thing was gathered up again, leaving only the air filled with a heavy smell of scorched paste.
It wasn't like a trick for the sake of actual combat, but rather more of a display and show-off.
"How about how?"
Shi An looked expectantly at the human in front of her, her large tail wagging uncontrollably behind her.
There was a little unconscious leap in pride, almost like a bird showing off its pretty feathers, happily awaiting the other person's compliments.
It's just too cute.
Mu Hang felt his heartbeat go haywire as he leaned down and complimented genuinely and sincerely:
"It's really good."
Shi An was very happy to have her hair smoothed.
In the next few places, he unleashed a few more magnificent wide-ranging forbidden spells.
These forbidden arts in ten thousand years ago, the power of each one can destroy an entire country, the need for magic power is even more horrifyingly shocking, due to the use of the conditions are too harsh, so by now it has been lost, only in the records of the tattered ancient scrolls that have been lost can be vaguely seen once the horror of the glory.
Shi An used to know the usage of these forbidden arts, but seldom used them.
Because all these forbidden techniques were too flashy, it would be better to just burn them with dragon flames, which was simpler, more straightforward and crude, and also more efficient.
But with Mu Hang's unstinting praise, Shi An swelled up, using beautiful spells that he once disdained one for another.
The dragon's strength is just too broken.
With him on board, the whole process was incredibly efficient.
That is, until Mu Hang's communicator rang again as if it were a call for help.
Mu Hang took out his communicator, and Wen Yao and Zhuo Fu were both online, and had apparently sent dozens of contact requests, but they were all ignored by him.
He finally got through to one of the vids.
Within moments of connecting, Zhuo Fu's agitated, grumpy voice came splintering out of the other side of the microphone:
Mu Hang frowned, regretting not answering Wen Yao's question.
"It's just cleaning up the contaminated areas."
He replied gently.
"Just? Just???"
Zhuo Fu approached the screen with a distorted expression and said through gritted teeth, "Do you know how much noise you have created? The internet is now full of videos taken by civilians, and do you know how many emergency notifications I received in just a few minutes! All the regional families and dignitaries have been alerted-"
"And look at this--"
He sent over a video that was only a few dozen seconds short, and although it was far away and blurry, it was still possible to clearly see the shape of the flaming dragon in it.
Zhuo Fu hissed, "Administration is going crazy over here!"
Mu Hang looked indifferent and raised an eyebrow, "So?"
Before Shi An was sent back to the Abyss, he similarly attempted to destroy evidence of the dragon's existence.
Hide the news, silence public opinion, destroy the evidence, but even so, there was a steady stream of humans compelled and seduced by profit, even to the point of stealing Shi An away from him under his very nose--
Now Mu Hang understands.
Hiding and dodging doesn't make any sense and won't solve anything.
Only overwhelming strength, and a cruel and ruthless enough hand, can put an end to this kind of thing.
"......"
Zhuo Fu on the other side of the screen was choked, and actually didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Mu Hang was about to say something after a long moment of contemplation with downcast eyes.
But it was at this moment that he suddenly felt that the cool and supple dragon's tail sneakily wrapped around his waistline.
Mu Hang was stunned and raised his eyes towards Shi An who was not far away:
"What's wrong?"
The teenager in front of him seemed to look a little off.
He came over and buried his head into the side of Mu Hang's neck and rubbed it haphazardly, then said in a lowered, muffled and shaky voice, "I-I seem to have consumed a bit too much magic just now."
Shi An's entire dragon burrowed into Mu Hang's arms and whispered softly:
"...... It's like, it's like it's in heat."
Zhuo Fu didn't hear it.
All he knew was that the next second Shi An appeared, the other side immediately cut off the video feed and no matter how many times he dialed, he could no longer get through.
