"As of today, you're moving in with me."
Chapter 52
Before the governor of the Avon district could continue, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Mu Hang:
"There's one thing you guys might not have figured out."
The tall man in front of him lowered his silver-white eyelashes as he slowly took a step forward, the icy hostility that came after all the killing pouring down unreservedly:
"You are the ones who moved the dragon's treasure."
"Who are you to negotiate with me?"
His eyes were cold and silent, against the light, like the gray-blue dome before a storm.
Mu Hang takes another step forward.
The soles of the boots hit the ground with a clear thud.
That voice was like an invisible rope, tightly strangling the other party's heart, and a heavy sense of oppression fell on his head.
Sector Chief Irving's breath caught in his throat, and he subconsciously tried to back away.
"It's not that I need your help right now."
Mu Hang condescendingly gazed at the man in front of him, his sight like the light of a snow-hardened knife, creating the illusion of being cut:
"You're asking me to keep you alive, understand?"
"Cooperate, or die, there is no second way." The man's voice was still calm and gentle, but the cruelty embedded in his words was so creepy that people couldn't help but be creeped out.
The pupils of the governor of the Avon district suddenly tightened, fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead, and his voice was tight and shaky:
"Yes, it is ......"
"The dragon is my prey, understand?" Mu Hang's eyes were dark and mysterious, like dark currents under thin ice, showing the tip of the iceberg of crazy paranoia: "From skin to bone, it's all mine."
"To take my prey is to go against me."
"Want a dragon? Are you worthy."
The officer of the Avon sector opened his mouth, but his voice clogged in the back of his throat, his back was cold and sweaty, and the chill whooshed back into the cracks of his bones, and he cowered backward in instinctive fear.
Mu Hang gave him a fixed look, then absently withdrew his eyes.
He slowly straightened his tactical gloves, his voice low and calm:
"I'll pretend I didn't hear it this time, but next time, things won't end so easily."
At the end of his speech, the silver-haired, blue-eyed man gave a slight nod to the Avon Sector Chief in front of him, his demeanor bland with a detached politeness:
"Good day."
He turned and walked off into the distance at a sedate pace.
Watching Mu Hang's tall and straight back gradually disappearing from sight, the officer of the Avon District only relaxed as if he had survived, reaching out to hold the wall with some weak legs and taking a deep breath with palpitating heart.
--He could feel that in that moment just now, the other party had really moved to kill.
The killing intent was clear and sharp, as if the blade was at his throat, giving him the illusion that he would be splattered with blood in the next second.

Shi An has returned to the Academy's lounge area.
The water clattered and rushed, echoing through the empty washroom.
The cold, clear water splashed inside the sink, and wisps of blood accompanied the water as it trickled down the drain, bringing up small swirls.
Shi An seems to be in a very happy mood.
He hummed softly as he meticulously cleaned the blood that remained within his palmed fingers.
The teenager's voice was thin and soft, breaking and echoing in the small space.
"......" The demonic worm winced for no apparent reason.
Grass, this look, really seems like a pervert oh.
Shi An ripped off her towel and wiped her hands.
He seemed to notice the sight of the Demon Worm and asked briskly, "What's wrong?"
Devil Worm couldn't help but think about the scene just now.
It shivered, "No, nothing."
Shi An thought for a moment and pulled the black smoke out of his sleeve.
He tugged on the tail of the black smoke and waved it, "Spit out that ring of white gems."
Previously at Lu Yuanyi's place, Shi An not only got back his part of the treasure in the other side's hands, but also swept away the other side's inventory and swept it all away.
And Shi An himself, of course, has no way to carry that much treasure on his back, so he hits on the idea of Black Smoke's four-dimensional stomach - if he just lets Black Smoke swallow everything, won't he be able to take it all with him?
Black Smoke: "......"
Oooooooooh, it's slavery, shameless slavery!
Still, with a bitter face, it obediently opened its mouth and slowly spat out the ring Shi An had demanded.
Shi An placed the ring under the faucet and rinsed it delicately, as gently as if she were treating a cherished lover.
After scrubbing carefully for more than ten minutes, finally cleaning all the blood stains and residual odor from the previous human, Shi An then turned on the faucet.
He looked at his long-lost treasures with real joy and nostalgia in his eyes.
Finally ......
After all this time, he was finally able to touch his long lost treasure with his own hands again!
Although it was only a very small part of the program, Shi An was overwhelmed with excitement and joy.
At Lu Yuanyi's place, in addition to recovering a portion of his own treasure, Shi An also gained a lot of valuable information.
It was discovered that the treasure in the abyssal rift was not taken by one person alone, but was divided among several forces, besides the powerful nobles and families in the Avon district, there were also the black market and mercenary forces, Lu Yuanyi was only responsible for the secret transportation, and the degree of involvement wasn't too deep, he knew who in the Avon district had got the part of the treasure, but he had no way of knowing the black market and the ones outside the Avon district.
From Lu Yuanyi, Shi An got a specific name and address.
He gently touched the white glossy prongs of the gem, a crimson shimmer sweeping across the bottom of his eyes.
Don't worry, baby, you'll all be back with me soon.
At that moment, the cell phone in Shi An's pocket buzzed.
With a start, he reached for his cell phone and pulled it out, looking at the contact displayed on it-it was Mu Hang.
Although Shi An still wanted to spend some time with his other treasures, he had, after all, promised Mu Hang that his cell phone would be kept open to reach someone at all times during this time.
He sighed and picked up the phone.
Mu Hang's cold, low voice came from the other side of the phone, "Come out for a moment."
Shi An froze, "Eh?"
Mu Hang : "I am now at the door of your rest area."
After that, the phone was hung up.
Shi An, though puzzled, headed out the door.
After making sure he was cleaned of all magical residue and blood, he put his thick coat on in layers and headed out the door.
Snow has flown outside.
The sky was gray and choked with snowflakes, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of snow.
In a gray and white world, Mu Hang stood upright in the snow, wearing a black cloak.
He lifted his eyelashes toward Shi An, who had swung over to him.
Just see the teenager lifted being snow white a face, lips red, black and round eyes clear and translucent, head with pink rabbit ear muffs, scarf and gloves are furry, looks good and soft, as if some kind of young and tender little animal.
"What's the matter? What is it that you want from me?"
Shi An asked with a white breath.
Mu Hang's heart dropped a little when he saw that the other party was safe.
He raised his hand out of habit and pressed the top of the teen's hair, rubbing it heavily, "Go pack."
Shi An: "??"
He cocked his head, rescuing his rubbed head from under the other man's hand, and asked suspiciously, "Packing? What for?"
Mu Hang lowered his eyes, his pale blue eyes looking deep and dark in the dim light:
"It was an error in judgment on my part; Avon College is not safe."
What happened to Lu Yuanyi was a wake-up call.
Mu Hang didn't think that with the defense level of the Avon Academy, it would still be invaded by a giant dragon unknowingly. Now, it seems that even if Shi An is forcibly sent back to the Ability Academy, it won't be much of an improvement to his safety. After all, Lu Yuanyi who is good at defense, being the principal of the Avon Academy, was able to be caught by a giant dragon, so I'm afraid that the invasion of the Ability Academy won't be much of a problem either.
"From today, you move in with me." Mu Hang said in an unquestioning tone.
Shi An: "Huh?!"
But, but then, he can't go alone!
Mu Hang : "This exchange will still be held as normal, so if you still want to attend, I can send someone to transport you."
Shi An: "......"
--Wouldn't that just block his excuses!
Shi An was about to keep insisting on refusing, but then, something seemed to suddenly occur to him.
Although he had gotten a number of people's addresses and names from Lu Yuanyi, they were all too scattered and not always complete.
The last time he was at the airport he had learned that Mu Hang was probably also contacting the same guys who had gotten his treasure in the Avon area, presumably trying to set up a trap.
How about ......
He first waited for Mu Hang to round up the group and gather the treasure as well, so that he could do it all at once.
More importantly, Mu Hang was not on the defensive now, so if he could figure out Administration's plans on the other side, he might be able to just go dark.
It's not a small risk, but it's also a big reward.
Shi An thought for a moment:
"That's fine, but I have a request."
Mu Hang raised an eyebrow, "Go ahead."
Shi An: "Can we sleep together at night?"
Mu Hang was stunned, "......"
...... what?
Shi An knew clearly that the fact that he was able to subdue Lu Yuanyi so easily this time was largely due to the strong anger he had built up in his heart, after leaving Lu Yuanyi's place, he could feel that the magical power in his body had been depleted by nearly half, of course it was more than enough to deal with ordinary human beings, however, if it was against Mu Hang and Administration ...... would not have a good chance of winning.
Shi An is now certain that she recovers much faster when she is around Mu Hang.
It's not impossible to cast a spell, but it's risky.
On the one hand, there is a huge difference between his routine and Mu Hang's. If he wakes up so late every day, Mu Hang will probably get suspicious.
One more reason ......
Perhaps it was because of his bloodline talent, Mu Hang's resistance to dragon magic was very high, and he had already shown resistance last time, Shi An didn't want to open the other party's eyes before he woke up, and it would be a big embarrassment if he was caught.
The best thing to do, then, is to get the other side to say yes.
Shi An looked at the human in front of her with an expectant face and discussed, "It doesn't have to be every night, every other day is fine."
He came closer, his upper body leaning forward slightly, his eyes shining, his tail end softly rising, naturally sappy:
"Is it good?"
*
It's night.
Mu Hang pushes open the door to his room.
The shirt-only teenager sat on the large bed, two thin white legs crossed, huge pillow in his arms, his hair half-damp, his neckline loose, revealing a slender collarbone and a beautifully shaped neck.
He raised his eyes and looked toward Mu Hang, his dark eyes colored a soft amber by the light.
Shi An patted the spot beside him, briskly:
"Come on!"
Mu Hang: "......"
He didn't know why he had ghostly agreed to the other party's request earlier.
--What he knows is that he's starting to regret it now.
