A big dragon's tail

Chapter 40

Shi An craned her head expectantly to look aside at the black smoke, "Can you ......"

Black Smoke shook his head frantically with a bitter face, pitifully, "Sir, I can't, I really can't!"

It's still a bit pushed about its strength.

It's certainly more than enough to fool students like Shi Rui, but if the target is a battle-hardened member of the Administration, it's a fool's errand.

Not to mention the possibility of Mu Hang coming ......

It would be better to just kill it now to make it a little more painful and direct.

Although she already had an answer in mind, Shi An was still very depressed.

He lowered his head and looked at his current claws, as well as the miniature wings on his back that could only flap twice and could not fly far, and his heart was in a miserable state.

That's a bad time to do it, too!

I don't care if I don't recover my dragon form, but at least recover a powerful one!

That way maybe he could move up his plan to steal someone.

As a result, it's difficult to even fly now, not to mention robbing people!

Shi An hung his eyes in frustration and snapped to a sitting position, burying his entire dragon into the soft pillow and playing dead.

The Devil Worm fluttered his wings, and settled on a corner of the pillow, encouragingly:

"My lord, don't give up! Why don't you recall how you became this state earlier? Maybe it can be reversed?"

"...... I'm not giving up."

Little dragon decadently burrowed his head into the pillow and replied in a muffled voice, "And I tried that a long time ago."

But no matter how much Shi An tried, there was no way to spit out the energy of the light that had already been absorbed.

Like his current transformation into the form of a dragon, the whole process seemed to be irreversible.

Shi An seemed to think of something, reared his head and sat up with a flutter.

But ......

What if you finished the whole process yourself?

Shi An closed her eyes and began to absorb the remaining seventy percent with serious effort.

The magic gradually began to fill his entire body, and he felt as if he had entered some kind of floating state.

Bright moonlight shone in through the window, glinting off the delicate, hardened dragon scales, as if they had obeyed him the moment they touched him, enveloping him in a soft halo of light that seemed to glow in the darkness.

Magic Worm and Black Smoke nervously watched Shi An, subconsciously holding their breath.

It was at this point that the sound of an engine came from downstairs.

The Devil Worm, startled, rushed to the window and looked out--

Oops! The Administration's here!

The curved moon adorned the misty clouds and shed its light in silence.

All that could be seen was a slender man pulling open the car door and stepping out, his brilliant silver hair looking even more eye-catching in the darkness.

The Demon Worm's eyes went black.

...... Oops, the worst came to pass.

Isn't that Mu Hang some kind of the strongest among humans, the top man of the Administration!!!! Why is he so idle! He can be seen every time!

Mu Hang lifted his eyes and fixed a glance at the main residence of the Toki family not far away.

He didn't realize that Shi An had been brought here while he was in a coma, and that Zhuo Fu had called out of the blue just now when he was halfway across the street-he said that because Shi Zechun had said that the patient could be better cared for in the main house, and because Zhuo Fu himself was very thick-skinned, he'd agreed to it straight away, and hadn't thought to tell him about it until Mu Hang picked him up. He said that because Shi Zechun said that the patient would receive better care at the main house, and because Zhuo Fu himself was very thick-skinned, he had agreed to it, and that he hadn't thought to tell him until Mu Hang picked him up.

When he received the call from Zhuo Fu, Mu Hang's mind went back to the words he had heard outside the hospital.

The young man who had never had ice cream in all his life was self-evident as to what kind of treatment he was getting in his own home.

In connection with the rumors that were rampant and even vaguely reached his ears-

Mu Hang narrowed his eyes slightly, a bit of coldness flickering in the bottom of his pale blue eyes.

And the Toki family had obviously received the news that he was coming long ago, and greeted him early.

Shi Zechun, with a smile on his face, came forward in a hurry.

The man in front of him indifferently lowered his eyes, and his eyes with a heavy sense of oppression swept over his body, and although there was no emotion in the bottom of Mu Hang's eyes, Shi Zechun still subconsciously breathed in and out, and the smile at the edge of his mouth subconsciously froze on his face.

"Shi An hasn't woken up yet?" Mu Hang faintly retracted his gaze and walked inward in an extremely natural manner without stopping the pace of his feet,

Shi Zechun : "Yes ...... yes."

He hurriedly followed Mu Hang and spoke some false condescension behind the other party, "My canine son has not awakened for such a long time, as a father I am also very anxious, fortunately you have come this time, otherwise I really don't have much of a solution."

The two had stepped into the living room by now.

Shi Zechun, as if he had just seen Shi Rui waiting in the hall, spoke, "By the way, recently it has been Xiao Rui who has been taking care of An An, this child has a good heart, and has been doing his best during this period of time, and has labored very hard ...... "

Mu Hang's brow furrowed hard.

What?

Letting your own illegitimate son take care of your unconscious firstborn?

Shi Zechun, as if suddenly thinking of something, eagerly proposed:

"Come, come, Xiao Rui, go and accompany Officer Mu to your brother ......"

Mu Hang felt his heart's disgust rise to the extreme.

Shi Rui had originally greeted him with a smiling face, but then he violently met the eyes Mu Hang threw at him, and his feet subconsciously nailed to the spot.

The ...... eyes of the other party were very terrible.

Those were the eyes that could only be honed by experiencing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, the cold light blue eyes looked over condescendingly, and the look underneath them did not look like they were looking at a kindred spirit, but instead looked like they were looking down on dirty ants.

Shi Rui felt cold sweat immediately seeping out from his back.

It was as if a thousand boulders were pressing on his chest, making him gasp for air.

Mu Hang's voice was cold and distant, "No need."

He asked for the exact location of Shi An's room and then walked up the stairs alone.

Even after leaving the group of fathers and sons behind, the low pressure on Mu Hang's body still hadn't dissipated.

He shouldn't have let Zhuo Fu take charge of this matter.

In the future, it would be best if he did everything about Shi An himself.

-- Mu Hang did not realize that, without realizing it, he had actually brought Shi An under his protection.

He headed down the hallway in the direction Shi Zechun had given him.

Suddenly, Mu Hang paused.

He frowned slightly, gazing fixedly at the closed door of the room not far away.

I don t know if it is an illusion ...... He has a very strange premonition, as if there is some kind of familiar and dangerous atmosphere lurking behind it, but capturing the past in detail, it seems that there is nothing.

The instincts running through his blood were urging him on sharply.

Mu Hang couldn't help but pick up his pace.

He lifted his hand and pressed it against the door and pushed inward - no push.

It appears to have been locked up from the inside.

Mu Hang frowned and moved his fingertips slightly, subconsciously trying to exercise his magic.

At that moment, a slightly nervous voice came from the door, "Don't come in!"

The teenager's tones were clear, with a hint of the huskiness of a long sleep, and sounded soft, more like a pout than a warning.

It's Shi An.

Mu Hang was slightly startled, "...... You're awake?"

Shi An's voice came through the door panel, sounding slightly distorted, "Uh-huh."

Mu Hang: "Why can't I enter?"

It was quiet inside for a long time before Shi An's voice, slightly rushed, resumed, "I-I'm not dressed."

This is an answer that Mu Hang did not expect.

He froze, almost instantly forcing himself not to think about it too much, not to let the image of what he had once seen come to mind.

"That ......"

Mu Hang paused before continuing somewhat uncomfortably, "I'll wait for you."

Shi An: "......"

His voice trailed off, "I'm wide awake, I don't need a physical."

The implication is that you hurry up and go.

Mu Hang, however, didn't seem ready to back down, his voice low and calm, giving no room for compromise: "It has nothing to do with that, the checkup is mandatory whether you're awake or not."

After that day, Mu Hang called members of the Administration who were in the camp at the time to make inquiries, but found that no one had discovered how Shi An had disappeared or when he had disappeared.

Although it has now been established that Shi An is definitely the key to the whole thing, there are still many unexplained questions.

The deeper connection, and how that connection works, remains unknown.

And what's more, this examination is not just for research, but also for Shi An's own good.

On a physical level, Shi An is very healthy.

But if their guesses were correct, then the connection must be on a magical level, and no one knew exactly what that connection meant to a normal human teenager.

And this test can only be done when you wake up.

No sound came from the door for a long time.

Mu Hang waited patiently.

Finally, after a long time, the door opened.

This should be an automatic lock that can be controlled to maneuver the door lock on and off even without getting out of bed.

Shi An was nestled on the bed, wearing a shirt that was on the long side, obviously put on in a hurry, the buttons of the shirt were tied wrongly, the collar of the shirt was askew, revealing a small slice of fine white skin, which stood out in the moonlight.

Mu Hang immediately averted his eyes and coughed lightly, "Just woke up?"

Shi An let out a "hmmm" and lowered her head, looking as if she was a bit distracted.

"How does it feel?"

The teenager's head was buried even lower, his long eyelashes lowered, fluttering in small, vaguely tickling flashes as he blinked.

He thought about it and nodded, "...... Pretty good."

Perhaps because she hadn't seen the light of day for so long, Shi An's face didn't have much color.

The covers were pulled tightly up to his waist, as if he was afraid of the cold.

The only upper half of his body that could be seen was covered only in a thin shirt, which made him look more and more pathetic with his slender bones, as if they would break at the slightest break and run away at the slightest blow.

Since he kept his head down, Mu Hang could only see the top of his opponent's shaggy hair, which seemed to feel good in the moonlight.

His fingers dangling at his side moved slightly, not moving to suppress the urge to touch the other man's head.

Out of Mu Hang's sight, Shi An's back was tense.

Because of his nervousness, a bit of cold sweat even seeped out of his palm.

It was only in that close call when he heard Mu Hang's footsteps coming up the stairs that Shi An figured out how to change from dragon to human - what he had just said wasn't an excuse, he did have to re-dress after changing from dragon to human.

But ...... that's not why it took him so long.

Shi An clutched the sheet surreptitiously and wiped the sweat from her palms on it.

Beneath the teenager's covers, a large dragon's tail protruded from the hem of his shirt, its long, thin tip wrapping around his calf, careful not to move a fraction of an inch for fear of the other man noticing something different.

- -Because, the tail can't retract!
