Chapter 93.2
It Couldn't Be. Here? Now? (2)
Although his last fight with Mu Heng was in a state of incomplete sanity, even so, Shi An remembered that the other party's sword blade broke on his scale armor, and the snowy blade fragments splashed abruptly and disappeared into the air like falling snow.
This should be the weapon of the dragon slayer, it seemed.
Capable of penetrating the dragon's scale armor and cutting open the dragon's chest.
Even without getting close, Shi An could still feel the bloodthirsty aura emanating from the blade.
Shi An narrowed his eyes with a deep look.
After his strength slowly recovered, despite Mu Heng being the most powerful human, Shi An did not put too much thought into it. After all, the previous experience proved that even the strongest human could not penetrate his innate powerful defense ability, but now the situation was entirely different.
Mu Heng had a sword and there was a way to destroy his scales.
Shi An's expression became serious.
-It seemed that it was time to pick up the plan he had set aside and execute it as the foremost goal.
As a collection, Mu Heng had to be beautiful, shiny, and intact but equally quiet, docile, and obedient.
There was no better way for a human to achieve these beautiful qualities than through death.
Except that...
The body temperature would become cold forever.
Shi An could not help but feel a little pity.
He walked forward with his head down while tugging his collar with discomfort.
Not sure if the previous magic power consumption was too much or the influence of the sword's aura, Shi An felt his body's magic power had a vague tendency to be unstable, making a strange sense of crisis rise in him.
Shi An subconsciously sped up his steps.
However, as soon as he turned a corner, he slammed into a person's arms.
The black coat, broad and strong chest, pressed on his shoulder, with the slender palm of the black gloves.
Shi An stiffened and slowly lifted his head.
A pair of silver-blue eyes looked down on him, and the deep, somber, dark eyes fell silently on his body.
It was Mu Heng.
Shi An: "..."
Didn't they say he's going on a mission?
Mu Heng's voice was low and calm. "Obviously, my mission is finished."
Shi An: "..."
Wait, did I ask that out loud?
The human temperature passed from where they were pressed against each other and the intense memory worn up by the other party's touch made Shi An's entire body stiffen. The familiar scent lingered at the end of his nose, like a vast, inescapable net wrapping him up.
Shi An subconsciously wanted to back up.
However, the other party took a step forward unobtrusively, efficiently reducing the distance between the two again.
Mu Heng examined the young man in front of him.
"What? Don't want to see me?"
The other person's voice was cold and magnetic, and his thin, light-colored lips opened and closed slightly, appearing reserved and ascetic.
But Shi An's face heated up.
He shook his head, moved his eyes away, and said stiffly, "... N-No."
No body heat was pretty good.
Forget about it after dying!
Mu Heng chuckled lightly. "By chance, I will look for you next."
Shi An responded, "Eh?"
Mu Heng said, "I will go to the Luosi District next."
Since they wanted to slay the dragon, they had to find out where it was.
Searching randomly on the continent would not yield any results, except for the opponent to come in person.
The dragon's greatest weakness was its greed and vengeance. It would not let go of any opportunity to recover its treasure nor let go of any human who had touched it.
According to all the information available now, the dragon treasures obtained by the high officials and nobles in the Aiwen District were shipped away by mercenaries. The delivery direction was precisely the Luosi District.
Wherever the treasure lay, the dragon was bound to appear.
Shi An was stunned. "Luosi District?"
He had to go to this place next, too!
It was not only because the group of humans had transported his treasure but also for a more important reason-
A particular amber-secreting magical creature could only be found in that specific canyon in the Luosi District.
It could seal a human being in the most vivid and beautiful state, dying soundlessly and becoming a collector's item that could be preserved forever.
Shi An's thoughts were stirred.
If he wanted to go to the Luosi District alone, he couldn't find an excuse to go on the trip. If the dragon appeared in the Luosi District again when he disappeared, he would be suspected anyway, so he might as well...
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
What should be said to make the other party agree to take him along?
Shi An was deep in thought.
At this time, the burst of magical agitation he thought he had suppressed entirely slowly rose, spreading and expanding along the limbs, bringing a strange and familiar heat.
Shi An: "... ?"
He suddenly widened his eyes as though it was a bolt from the blue.
This feeling was too familiar to him.
Shi An subconsciously raised his eyes and looked over toward Mu Heng.
The man in front of him had silver hair and blue eyes, his expression was indifferent, and he quietly looked over with downcast eyes.
The distance between them was too close, so close that Shi An felt some difficulty breathing.
The other party's palm pressed on his shoulder brought heat and strength that could not be ignored, and a strange tingling sensation rose from the depths of the spinal cord.
Shi An's pupils trembled.
It couldn't be.
Here?
Now?
