Chapter 74.1

Isn't This Taking Advantage of Cultural Differences to Bully Dragons? Shameless! (1)

"..."

Shi An felt like his entire body was unwell.

His eyes lost focus as he sat on the edge of the bed, his mind going blank.

So...

WHY! DID! THINGS! TURN OUT! LIKE THIS!

The demon insect crouched on the cabinet with a twisted expression and gritted its teeth. "... That damned human! To take advantage of someone's difficulties! Taking advantage of the Lord!"

Before today, whenever Mu Heng was present, the demon insect and Black Smoke would fake dead together to prevent their scent from being detected.

Only today, the demon insect discovered that Shi An had somehow established a relationship with Mu Heng.

And they were furious.

Isn't this taking advantage of cultural differences to bully dragons?

Shameless!

Black Smoke tried to smooth things out. "Don't get angry. Don't get angry. That human didn't know my lord is a dragon..."

The demon insect screamed, "Despicable!"

"Heh." A cold snort came from the side.

The big-eyed creature sat on the window sill, crossed its legs, and clasped its two thin arms, saying grimly, "Didn't you guys follow after lord dragon every day? How incompetent of you to let that insidious human take advantage of the situation! Why didn't you guys reflect upon this matter? If not because you guys failed to educate the lord about human social customs nowadays, would things turn out this way? Bah!"

The demon insect: "..."

Black Smoke: "..."

Who the hell are you?

The Eye bounced over proudly. "Although the lord had rejected my confession, my heart for the lord isn't fake. Moreover, as the former Eye of the Abyss, I am more professional than you!"

It gave a sinister and evil look. "So from today onward, I am the lord's number one sidekick!"

The demon insect's nose flared up in anger.

"Do you want to fight? See if I don't poke your eyeball out!"

Black Smoke pulled him along and advised him, "Big bro, calm down. Calm down!"

The three demons in front of him were tearing each other apart, making Shi An's brain hurt from all the noise.

"You guys shut up!"

The three demons in front of him immediately shut up and were as quiet as chickens.

In this moment of peace, Shi An finally had time to sort out his thoughts carefully...

Sorting the hell out!

There was no thought to sort at all!

He raised his head, looked at the three unreliable demonic creatures in front of him with the last sliver of hope, and slowly asked, "Say, is it possible that Mu Heng did not think much about it? M-Maybe... he also thinks this is a common etiquette?"

The three demonic creatures: "..."

The demonic creatures that had been bickering earlier fell silent in unison.

The demon insect slowly asked, "So, four times of muah muah?"

Shi An: "..."

What's with that expression?

It's disgusting.

Are you all infected by that eyeball?

Although reluctant, Shi An nodded.

"Three times under a sober situation?"

Shi An thought for a moment and nodded hesitantly.

Almost?

Although there was one time when Mu Heng passed out straight away, could it be counted?

"And once was initiated by you?"

Shi An: "..."

He was silent for a long time and nodded with utter grief on his face.

I'm so stupid, seriously.

I only knew humans would use kissing as etiquette, but where would I have gotten the idea that different parts represented utterly different meanings?

He did remember something at first but having been in the cave for so long, he wasn't sure about his long-lost vague knowledge and the word Mu Heng had used that day was "friend," so he was immediately led into a ditch.

It was all Mu Heng's fault!

Oh yes, and Zhao She!

Shi An clenched her fist in anger.

"..."

The several demonic creatures looked at each other.

"This... is not very likely." The demon insect broke the silence and said dryly, "How to say it... hm... this... according to humans, this is almost like a confirmed relationship."

Despite having a hunch, Shi An's entire being was in a dull state.

Big Eye suggested maliciously, "My lord, why don't you burn that vile human? Anyway, isn't he unguarded toward you now? We can take advantage of the situation..."

Shi An thought it over for a moment.

Mu Heng's long silvery hair and eyelashes flashed in his mind, and then he thought about the other party's eyes that seemed as brilliant and bright as sapphires.

He shook his head. "I can't."

Big Eye asked, "Why?"

Shi An said honestly, "I can't bear to do it."

This was his future collection, a precious treasure to be placed in his left talon position and circled by the tip of his tail!

If he burned it, he wouldn't be able to keep it in its most whole and prettiest form to preserve it.

The Eye: "..."

Hu hu hu hu.

It covered its eyes sadly, large teardrops falling as if it were a preteen girl whose heart had been broken.

The demon insect revealed a gleeful expression.

It looked at Shi An and said comfortingly, "Actually, my lord, you don't need to worry too much. This matter isn't as severe as you thought."

Shi An's face was expressionless. "Is that so?"

They were supposed to be a relationship between dragon and collection, dragon slayer and prey, so simple, pure, and healthy!

And now... they had unexpectedly become lovers without knowing it?!

It was too awful, so wrong.

Shi An felt like he was about to crack again just thinking about it.
