Rewards for keeping dragons

Chapter 146

What happened next made the family patriarch almost suspect he was dreaming.

Mu Hang's inclusion turned the tide.

In just a few minutes, the weird demons outside were cleared away, while the few remaining ones fled in disarray, leaving only corpses and bloodstains all over the ground in the blink of an eye.

The flickering snowy light of the sword shook gently, flinging scarlet beads of blood off the blade.

The silver-haired man stood among the mingled colors of the night, his face stoic and indifferent, and he turned his head noiselessly in that direction.

"Payoff."

Wen Yao elbowed the matriarch.

Only then did the matriarch wake up from his dream, shivering and reaching out his hand, offering the reward for the completion of the mission to the legendary powerhouse in front of him.

"Thanks a lot."

Mu Hang's voice was low and cold, and he nodded politely and detachedly.

Then, he turned and disappeared into the darkness, waving his hand without taking a cloud with him-except, of course, for their entire family heirloom.

"......"

The matriarch stared at the direction where Mu Hang's back disappeared, and did not move for a long time.

Wen Yao skillfully stepped forward to take a sample of the evidence, and after it was all over, she turned and raised a hand to pat the frozen matriarch fearfully on the shoulder, soothing her with a sympathetic tone of voice: "At least life's more important, isn't it?"

Patriarch: "............"

Wen Yao turned his head to greet his squad:

"Withdraw."

The members of the Combat Section retreated in a well-trained manner under Wen Yao's leadership, leaving the Matriarch standing stupefied, seemingly still recovering from the shock of the earlier incident.

*

As time passed, the great clans on the continent realized how difficult the new breed was to deal with.

They knew so little about these species that most of their weapons couldn't pose much of a threat to these magical creatures, which made them worry.

It was at this point that new news wore out.

After leaving the Administration, Mu Hang, as a free agent, began to accept missions on the taskbar - provided that the pay was appropriate, of course.

The great families of the continent were overjoyed and sent invitations.

But they soon discovered a pattern.

Specific money and high prices are completely impossible to attract Mu Hang, only rare and precious gems, ancient and mysterious heirloom family treasures will attract Mu Hang's attention.

That means ...... has to be shiny enough.

After realizing this, a bidding frenzy was set off among the great clans.

The matriarch who had initially posted the reward at Wen Yao's urging looked at the increasingly valuable reward and smacked his lips in secret.

Curly, it's just too curly.

Who would have thought that bounty payoffs would still be in-rolled!

Those heirlooms he had sacrificed in the beginning were nothing compared to these current rewards.

Although the warehouse is now empty, why do you think ......

You seem to have taken advantage of it yourself?

During this period of time, Wen Yao and Zhuo Fu's side was also progressing very well, as they had finally obtained the remains of the new type of demonic creature, the entire research institute had begun to work in full swing, searching for their weaknesses in the samples of the demonic creatures, and creating weapons that corresponded to them.

In time, this shock caused by the birth of a new population of demonic species caused by the Blood Moon will surely pass.

And normal human social life will be on track again.

Shi An took a long nap.

He yawned at the pile of treasure and stretched hard.

The gold, silver, and jewelry around him tumbled down with the jingling of his movements, making a crisp metallic clash.

...... so cozy.

It felt as if all the fatigue in my body had been swept away.

Shi An lazily climbed out of the pile of treasure.

He walked slowly toward the outside of the warehouse.

Ever since he got the ring Mu Hang gave him, all the doors of the entire Mu Family's old mansion were unconditionally open to him, and there were no more annoying forbidden alarms sounding, and although Shi An could still see it lighting up with an unwilling red light at times, it would no longer noisy and attack him without warning.

The door of the warehouse slowly opened in front of him, and the bright sunlight outside suddenly poured down, and the pupils that had adapted to the darkness narrowed all of a sudden, stinging Shi An subconsciously squinted his eyes.

The next second, a shadow blocked his way.

Mu Hang shielded his body from the somewhat harsh sunlight and lowered his eyes towards the teenager in front of him:

"Did you sleep well?"

He asked softly.

The golden sunlight gave the man's silver hair a shiny coating, and his blue eyes still looked deep and bright even with the light behind them.

Shi An blinked away the sleepy tears from the corners of her eyes, and trailed off with a bit of the soft huskiness of a freshly awakened sleeper:

"Superb!"

--especially after shutting out the culprit that was interfering with his sleep, his quality of sleep had simply improved qualitatively.

But ...... Shi An suddenly realized something.

Slightly startled, he raised his eyes to Mu Hang and asked with some suspicion, "Wait, how did you know I was awake so quickly? And also the precision to wait for me outside the warehouse?"

Mu Hang's eyes flickered for a moment, "Just a coincidence."

"......"

Shi An narrowed her eyes.

Mu Hang coughed lightly and changed the subject extremely naturally, "By the way, I have something to show you."

Shi An: "?"

"You'll like it." The man smiled slightly.

The dragon's attention proved to be very easy to draw away.

Shi An's eyes lit up, "Really!"

Mu Hang nodded and swore, "Really."

He led Shi An to the bedroom.

Just inside, Shi An's eyes slowly widened, a look of shock and joy on her face:

"This ...... this is--"

"Yes."

Mu Hang twisted around, a bit of a smile lurking in the depths of his dark blue eyes, "Your new bed."

Made of piles of extremely precious stones and rare treasures of every color, sealed deep into transparent, semi-soft amber - the very ones Shi An had left at Mu Hang's house, simply made of all the most wonderful elements, the most perfect of all great beds!

Shi An slowly took two steps back, then suddenly accelerated and pounced!

Mu Hang followed suit.

He sat on the edge of the bed, the weight of his body bringing up a slight ripple in the amber - it was on the softer side of texture, though it was so tough that only an attack with additional magic could shred it.

"Do you like it?" He asked.

Shi An nodded vigorously, "Love it!"

He repeated in an aggravated tone, "Super like!"

Mu Hang leaned down and dropped a light kiss on the other's cold forehead, his low voice taking on a bit of anticipation, "Really?"

"Really!" Shi An replied ignorantly.

Without realizing it, the other party had come extremely close.

The human's kisses landed on his eyelids, one at a time, fine, gentle kisses stretching from his cheeks to his ears, searing warmth spreading along the little area that was touched.

The slender, tall figure loomed over.

Shi An instinctively tilted her head back and allowed her partner to kiss her neck.

"And is there a reward for ......?"

The man's voice was low and compelling, nibbling the teenager's thin, white, soft earlobe with his teeth, his burning breath spraying, provoking a sensitive shudder from the other.

He raised a hand to embrace Shi An's thin waist, stroking it along the curvature of her spine.

After such a long time, he had gotten to know all the sensitive spots of his opponent and what to do to make it impossible for him to refuse his request:

"Walk me through this new bed."

*

The teenager's forehead rested against Mu Hang's chest, his wet, pitch-black eyelashes lowered with a hint of hidden tears, and his nostrils evened out, so it was clear that he had fallen asleep again.

Mu Hang embraced the soft, slightly cool body in his arms, playing with the ends of his partner's hair with his fingertips.

He looked absently at the ceiling.

Speaking of which ...... there was quite a bit of that amber left over after the bed was made.

Maybe it can be utilized.

So what should be the best thing to do?

*

The great clans were bewildered and puzzled to find that the Mu Hang, which had been very active earlier, had suddenly stopped, and no matter how many more tempting conditions they posted, they no longer accepted any bounties.

What's going on?

Is something tripping him up?

*

Later, the bed, which Shi An loved so much, had to be cleaned completely.
