Give me back my treasure ah ah ah ah ah ah!

Chapter 49

On the airplane.

A faint hum echoed through the large metallic space, a not-so-subtle vibration from the high-altitude air currents sweeping across the surface of the craft.

The cabin was filled with tall and robust strength students, and although the number of people was not large, it looked full and crowded.

The slender teenager sitting in the window seat looked out of place.

In fact, among her peers, Shi An was not too short, but her bone structure and face were on the small side, her eyes were round and her skin was white, coupled with her thin and slim figure, she was crowded in a group of strong trainees with an average height of 1.9 meters, and she looked extraordinarily weak and pitiful.

Jo She turned her head to Shi An, who was sitting beside her, and said in a lowered, somewhat incredulous voice:

"How did you end up in the power department?"

When he saw Shi An at the venue earlier, Jo Shea didn't think anything of it and assumed that she was just passing by.

Until ......

He saw Shi An walk to the registration desk and choose the first flight that was leaving that night.

Shi An narrowed her eyes and looked over, "You don't think I look like that?"

Zhao She: "......"

Don't you feel like it!

"You don't believe me?" Shi An scowled and rolled up her sleeves, "Wanna arm wrestle?"

Zhao She's eyes fell on the teenager's white and slender wrist, as if it would break at the slightest break, and then looked at his own sinewy and muscular arm, and the corner of his mouth twitched:

"No, no need."

Shi An grunted and turned his head to look out the porthole.

He was holding his fire now.

It's one thing to know that your treasure has been stolen, it's another thing to hear that your treasure has been tainted.

As a dragon, Shi An couldn't swallow his hard-earned, carefully selected, and ultimately saved up a cave of treasure, which was moved by the group of thieves while he was sleeping.

It was fine if he had never had a clue before, but now, he would finally have a chance to catch the filthy worms who had gotten their hands on his treasure, and make those gutsy mole crickets pay for it!

Zhao She spoke cautiously:

"But, speaking of which, I really didn't expect you to actually come to this academic exchange ......"

After all, the destination this time is the Avon District, and as a companion who has traveled together before, Zhao She knows all too well how lazy and afraid of the cold Shi An is, but it turns out that Shi An not only participated, but also signed up for a flight that departed the same night, which is so unlike him.

Shi An didn't blink, "I'll do anything to honor my school."

For the sake of his lost treasure, he would do anything, not to mention the ice and snow, even if it was a mountain of fire.

Zhao She: "......"

I'll believe the hell out of you.

Through a thick layer of snow-white clouds, the plane slowly descended, and a view of the chilly Avon district appeared out the porthole.

The colors of the sky were light and lofty, and below them were snow-covered snowfields, dark ridges undulating and winding through a blanket of white, and just looking at them, one could feel the extremely low temperatures.

"......" Shi An subconsciously shrunk.

In fact, it might even be kinder to him if it's really a knife fight ......

At this point, Shi An couldn't help but miss Mu Hang.

The warmth of the human's body burned warmly, making it the perfect hand warmer in this freezing cold place.

As soon as she leaves the airport, Shi An sees a familiar figure.

The man was tall, with a straight figure, his long silver hair tied high, a pair of icy blue eyes hidden under his eyelashes, and an unapproachable and powerful aura shrouding his body, causing the already low temperature to drop a little again.

Shi An: "????"

What? Do I still have this ability to have my mind made up?

He closed his eyes and made a reverent wish.

-My lost treasure, appear!

But when Shi An opened his eyes, he was disappointed to find that the clearing in front of him was unchanged from five seconds ago.

Abominable!

Ever since realizing that Shi An might become a dragon's target, Mu Hang had immediately contacted the Ability Academy, but, after the call was answered, he received an unexpected response.

-- Shi An had left the Ability Academy and was on a flight to the Avon District.

The plane had already taken off and Shi An could not be reached, so Mu Hang sent someone to contact the airport to get a time for the plane to land.

Mu Hang narrowed his eyes as he looked at the teenager who was walking not far away:

"What are you waiting for? Come here."

Shi An now came back to his senses and walked quickly.

He looked at Mu Hang, then at Wen Yao, who was following behind Mu Hang, and frowned with some confusion, "Why are you guys here?"

Wen Yao opened his mouth to say something, but was cut off by Mu Hang.

The man's voice was indifferent and quiet:

"I've bought you the next flight back to the capital, and when you get back, you'll be picked up as soon as you leave the airport, and the next thing you know, you'll be taken straight to the academy."

Although there was an incident with the Abyssal Rift inside the academy last time, Mu Hang knew the defense system outside the academy very well, and as long as Shi An was inside the Ability Master academy, her safety should be guaranteed.

Shi An: "????"

He froze, taking two seconds to respond, "Huh? You want me to go back?"

Mu Hang: "Yes."

Shi An was decisive and refused flatly, "No way! I want to win the honor for my school!"

Mu Hang: "......"

Wen Yao then had a chance to interject, she briefly explained the dangerous situation Shi An might be facing right now, and then said, "The dragon could appear at any time, and the officer was worried about your safety, so he made the decision to do so."

Shi An: "......"

Actually, that, the dragon has appeared.

He pondered for a long time, and said heartily, "Well, what if I return the gems to you?"

Mu Hang gazed down at the teenager in front of him, his attitude unconsciously softening:

"That's not the point."

Next they're going to lay out in the Avon District, where there's bound to be a big battle if the dragon does come.

It would be fine if Shi An was an ordinary person, but with the experience of the previous two times, Shi An himself was the one who would attract the gargoyles, and if he was allowed to stay in the Avon District, he would most likely be in danger, which didn't have much to do with the gems.

Wen Yao boldly said, "But, sir, I actually think it would be better if Shi An stayed ......"

Mu Hang glanced at her coldly, interrupting Wen Yao before she could continue:

"It's okay."

Wen Yao: "Yes."

Shi An interjected in a small voice, "I also think it would be better if I stayed."

"Besides, aren't you good?"

Shi An said naturally, "Then wouldn't it be better if you protected me?"

Wen Yao interjected at the right time, "Yes, sir, for Shi An, there is no safer place in the world than your side."

Mu Hang lowered his eyes and met Shi An's expectant gaze.

The teenager tilted his head up, a pair of clear dark eyes reflected Mu Hang's face, with a kind of pure trust and dependence, his voice was soft, the end note slightly elongated, as if he was pampered: "That's right."

He was silent for a long time and said:

"Stay at the school in the Avon area during this time and keep your cell phone on at all times, to be reachable at all times."

Shi An narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Yeah!"

He waved cheerfully at the two humans in front of him before turning around and heading towards the ranks of the Ability Academy in the distance.

As soon as he turned around, the intimate, harmless smile on the teenager's face disappeared.

Like the remnants of snow in the sun, it instantly melted away without a trace.

Shi An lowered her eyes to a thoughtful expression, a scarlet shadow flickering under them.

Although we didn't talk much just now, Shi An got two very important messages.

First, the treasure is real.

Although the information was put out by Administration, it's clear that there is no doubt about the authenticity, and it's quite possible that they already have a handle on where their treasure is and where it's going.

Secondly, Administration over there already knew more about himself than he could have imagined, and had even taken this opportunity to lay a trap and wait for him.

Shi An narrowed her eyes and huffed into her hand.

Surely the bloodline of a dragon slayer should not be underestimated.

It's better to be cautious about what comes next.

In the distance, Wen Yao stood still, watching Shi An's figure fade away.

Just now, it was the second time Mu Hang rejected her proposal.

--didn't even let her finish her sentence.

If Shi An could really attract the dragons, then, apart from the treasure, Shi An himself might be a more suitable bait, and with Shi An's help, the success rate of their plan to trap the dragons might be higher.

Wen Yao is not gambling with Shi An's life because she believes their plan is foolproof.

However, Mu Hang refused.

If it was just a guess earlier, she had now fully confirmed that she was afraid that Officer Mu's attitude towards Shi An was indeed unusual.

*

The opening ceremony of the College Exchange was held at Avon College.

Being the shortest, Shi An stood at the very front of the entire lineup, and almost the entire room's eyes fell on him if nothing else, as if they hadn't expected such a power faculty to be in attendance.

Shi An was drooping her head as if she hadn't felt the sights from all directions, dozing off in the frigid temperatures.

It was at this moment that he felt Zhao She, who was beside him, gently touch him with his elbow:

"Hey, wake up, the principal is speaking."

Shi An yawned and looked up toward the podium not far away,

The principal of the Avon Academy was a short, middle-aged balding man who wore thick brocade fur with ornate embroidered patterns on his clothes, and his five short, thick fingers were covered in rings, making him look very ostentatious.

Shi An blinked subconsciously as she was flashed by the refracted harsh reflection.

Suddenly, he was slightly stunned, his eyes fell on a huge silver-white gemstone worn on the other party's right thumb, the color of the gemstone was extremely clear, at a glance, it was extremely precious and valuable, the gemstone was set on a ring of gold, the ring was very thin, woven with extremely peculiar and rare craftsmanship, the shape was elegant and mysterious.

Shi An knows exactly where that kind of craftsmanship comes from.

That's what elves do.

It was forged by the craftsmen of the elves and enchanted by the priests' prayers, which contained a powerful power of blessing, extremely precious, there is not a second one in the whole world, it was one of the treasured collections of the elf king at one time, and was later given to Shi An as a gift to show his friendship.

This elven ring was all but one of his favorite treasures, and for a long time was kept at the tip of his own tail.

That's, that's, that's him.

Shi An was so angry that his eyes were red, blazing flames rolling in the depths of his dark eyes, his round pupils narrowing little by little as if they were a thin slit, intense anger burning in the bottom of his eyes.

Fuck caution.

Give me back my treasure ahhhhhhh!!!!
