Good boy don't lie (1)

Chapter 157

As a dragon that prefers to sleep in a cave, Shi An doesn't have much of a taste for food per se.

For him, all the food eaten into his stomach would be converted into magic power by the dragon flames inside his body.

Shi An's body has a constant flow of powerful magic, so she can survive indefinitely even without food.

So, even in between slumbering and slumbering, Shi An never leaves the burrow to forage for food.

Because the very act of eating is meaningless.

--He didn't realize until later, that it was because nothing was good enough in those days.

After awakening in human society, Shi An experienced the fascination of food for the first time.

Salty, sweet, spicy, fluffy, crunchy, tender, refreshing ...... countless ingredients can generate countless flavors, according to the different combinations will also produce ah a variety of fascinating changes, it is like another sense of magic!

From day one, he was immediately captured by the joy of eating.

Of all the foods made by humans, Shi An's favorite is ice cream.

Whether it's chocolate, strawberry, matcha ...... either one is delicious!

His body temperature is low, so the ice cream will melt very slowly in the mouth, sweet and mellow cold cream wrapped in soft and creamy smoothie, little by little overflowing mouth, and then flow down the throat ......

Once you eat it, you can't stop eating it.

Ask is just so delicious.

However, what annoyed Shi An was that Mu Hang was very strict with him in this area, not allowing him to eat freely, this human was almost obedient to him, but when it came to this, he was not accommodating at all.

He tried many times to explain to Mu Hang that that earlier hospitalization was merely because he hadn't recovered his strength yet, so his physique was more human than dragon, and that's why he got iced after eating a lot of ice cream.

But definitely not now!

He had now completely regained his strength, and the curse imposed on his body by that earlier unsuccessful summoning had completely disappeared, and he had reverted back to that indestructible and invincible dragon.

The ice cream could not help him at all!

But Mu Hang wouldn't hear of it and remained steadfast in limiting his ice cream intake.

The spouse's intransigence infuriates Shi An.

Until one day, Mu Hang took an assignment.

Due to objective reasons, the completion of this task would require him to be away for at least close to two weeks, Mu Hang frowned upon realizing this.

But Shi An was persistent.

Because he "really wanted that booty."

However, since "the last mission with Administration was not yet finished", he had to regretfully stay in the Central District, leaving Mu Hang to go on the mission alone.

Mu Hang sighs and agrees.

During the mission, although he never said it out loud, everyone could clearly feel the urgency of this number one powerhouse wanting to end the mission and return early.

With this extreme efficiency, a task that would have lasted two weeks was shortened to one.

Almost impatiently, Mu Hang rushes back to the Central District with the spoils of war.

But before he reaches his home, Mu Hang's steps, which had been heading straight for home, give a slight lurch.

Thinking about it, he reversed course and headed for one of the other's favorite ice cream parlors nearby, ready to surprise the other with a little extra.

But ...... out of his expectation, the store actually closed down.

The dessert store, which is usually crowded and has a long line after opening, is now closed, while a printed note is taped to the door with four words written in bolded and blacked-out letters:

"Temporarily out of stock."

Mu Hang was stunned.

Out of stock?

Guess we'll just have to go somewhere a little farther away.

Mu Hang stood in front of the second dessert store, staring at the "Closed" sign underneath and frowning slowly.

That too?

Third, fourth, fifth ......

After strolling through almost the entire Central District, he finally gave up trying to find a dessert store that was still open.

It was getting dusky because it was taking so long.

The silver-haired man, dressed in a straight, pitch-black coat, stood fixedly not far from an ice cream parlor, a pair of blue eyes gazing thoughtfully at the storefront, which was closed for business not far away.

Some passersby recognized him, but they were too intimidated by his aura to come forward, and only dared to secretly watch from a distance.

Mu Hang narrowed his eyes slightly.

He turned around, his upright back disappearing into the night.

*

The room was dark.

The curtains were drawn tightly, the heavy fabric blocking out all light from the outside, as if it were a large sealed box, overly warm due to its airtightness.

Mu Hang pushed open the door and walked in.

The television was still on, a man and a woman performing a boring dog and pony show within the screen, and the constantly shifting light and shadows illuminated the dimly lit room so that he was able to barely distinguish the tiny bulge lying on the bed.

Mu Hang softened his steps and walked over.

He leaned down and lifted the covers, which were excessively heavy for the season.

A silvery-white Little dragon curled itself into a ball burrowed deep within the covers, its spiky, thin tail wrapped back just enough to cover its eyes, its body undulating evenly and looking extremely sleepy.

Mu Hang reached out and placed his palm over Little dragon's body.

The scales are smooth and tough and cold.

Shi An's body temperature was low enough on a normal day, but now it was almost like a small ice cube to the touch.

"......"

Mu Hang squints slowly.

Wrapped in a familiar scent, Shi An automatically arched toward the other's warm, hot palm.

He awoke from his semi-hibernation in a daze, half-opening a pair of golden-red eyes towards the human standing beside the bed, wrapping his long, thin, icy tail around the other man's wrist and pouting in a sheepish voice:

"Hold."

Mu Hang climbed onto the bed and took the ice-cold Little dragon into his arms.

In the hot embrace of the human, Shi An stretched his limbs comfortably, changing his earlier huddled posture and spreading himself out as a whole dragon.

The human had a moment to pet the dragon in his arms:

"Ever miss me?"

Shi An nodded perfunctorily.

He let out a big yawn and lifted his chin to let the other man tickle his chin lightly

Little Silver Dragon half-squinted in enjoyment and rolled over in the other's arms, letting the human stroke his slightly bulging belly.

"You're so cold."

A low voice with no audible emotion came from overhead.

Shi An snapped out of her near hibernation with a jolt.

He rounded his eyes and surreptitiously raised his head, looking cautiously toward the human holding him.

In the dimly lit room, Mu Hang looked no different than usual, his half-lowered eyelashes leaving deep shadows on his face, and the half-light, half-obvious moving light falling on top of his deeply contoured features made it hard for Shi An to tell if the other man had noticed something.

He didn't really do anything.

That is, a little indulgence while the other is away ......

That is to say, sweeping the entire Central District for ice cream parlors.

And it lasted a whole week.

Just.

This was no problem for him who was now fully restored to his dragon form, after all, all the ice cream would be directly converted into magic by the dragon flames for him now, and there would never be the same problem as last time.

But ......

Eating too much ice at once can still have consequences.

Like right now.

Although it was still the height of summer, he felt the tendency to hibernate that could only occur in winter.

--But Mu Hang mustn't know about this!

Otherwise he'd be nagging me all the time!

The man rubbed the round belly of the dragon under his palm, absently:

"Nice and round."

Shi An stiffened again.

"Why, did you eat something?"

Mu Hang's voice came from above his head, his voice line was calm and quiet, and it was impossible to hear whether or not he believed the other party's words.

"No, no." Shi An stammered.

"Possibly ...... possibly ......"

The screen is still playing a dog and pony show with a man and a woman.

In the hospital, the woman covered her rolled stomach and whimpered.

"Maybe?"

Hibernation had dulled his mind, and by the time Shi An realized it, words unprocessed by his brain had accidentally slipped out of his mouth:

"It could be that ...... has eggs."

"......"

Mu Hang stroked the dragon with a slight lurch, his eyes narrowing as he repeated slowly:

"Eggs?"

Shi An: "......"

Can you take back what you've said?

Please.

*

"...... huh? Say that again?"

Zhuo Fu's face was expressionless, his gaze seemingly calm, but in fact had long since become excessively dull: "Who? What? What's going on?"

Mu Hang stood unchanged, his arms embracing the stiff-looking teenager:

"What? Didn't get it?"

"......"

It's not a matter of hearing or not hearing.

Zhuo Fu slowly turned his gaze to Shi An and asked incredulously, frostily, "But, aren't you ...... you a male dragon?"

Shi An: "......"

He said dryly, "Yeah."

Zhuo Fu The pupils of the stone quake.

Huh?

Huh?

Huh?

Difficult, do dragons even have that?

It's not right! It's impossible! It's impossible in every sense of the word!

Ever since dragons appeared on the continent, he had carefully looked through the relevant information and books, but there was no record in any book that a male dragon would lay eggs!

Wait ......

Zhuo Fu was startled and looked fixedly at Shi An, who was not far away.

Shi An's body stiffened even more as she was made to shiver by the other party's gaze.

Is it because it's an Abyssal Dragon?

After all, this species of dragon has never appeared in any records, perhaps it is a physiological function unique to their race?

Zhuo Fu was deep in thought.

"What's wrong?"

Mu Hang's voice came from a short distance away, jolting Zhuo Fu out of his contemplation.

Zhuo Fu cleared his throat, somewhat hesitantly:

"Well ...... also, it's not impossible, after all, there would be precedents in nature for species to undergo sex switching to continue the next generation if the sex ratio in the community is out of balance ...... "

He looked to Shi An:

"Speaking of which, you should be the last of the Abyssal Dragons, right?"

Shi An: "......"

Wait, isn't this unfolding a bit off?

Please, I'm not asking you to argue the possibility of a male dragon laying eggs! I just need you to tell Mu Hang that it's impossible so I can escape this horrible lie!

I really did just eat too much ice cream, that's all!

Mu Hang nodded and answered in Shi An's place, "Yes."

After a long period of contemplation, Zhuo Fu said cautiously:

"In that case, we'll have to consider the possibility."

He took a deep, solemn breath:

"Congratulations, you're going to be dads."

Shi An: "........................ ............"

What happened?

Why did you sit on it in the end instead?

...... Where did I get you guys a nest of dragon eggs!
