The more powerful the dragon, the more ferocious the rut comes.

Chapter 41

The dragon's tail extends from the end of the spine, the upper end is thick and rounded, the lower end is thin and pointed, the upper part is covered with thick and hard dragon scales, compared to the scales on the back, which are small and smooth, and the closer to the root of the tail, the softer and more delicate the scales are.

"What's wrong?"

Mu Hang noticed Shi An's uneasiness and frowned.

Shi An's tail flicked uncontrollably under the covers, and he was slightly startled as he pressed his hand against it:

"No, nothing."

The sensitive root of his tail brushed against the sheets, causing him to subconsciously shiver.

Mu Hang looks to Shi An.

The teenager's head was buried, and from this angle only a small half of the pale side of his face could be seen, as well as the tips of his ears, which were rapidly filling with blood and turning red.

The outlines of his ears were thin, a delicate layer of fuzz visible in the moonlight, almost translucent when red.

"......"

Mu Hang pursed his lips and very quickly withdrew his eyes before turning to head out the door, "Pack up, I'll pick you up."

Before leaving, Mu Hang's steps faltered, and he turned his head toward Shi An's nightstand.

The door to the room closed again.

The man's smooth, even footsteps faded away, finally disappearing.

Shi An let out a long sigh of relief, her spine, which had been tense, relaxing as she slowly slid back onto the bed.

Luckily, luckily, it didn't show.

Shi An lifted up the covers, reached out to catch the extra dragon's tail on his back, and began to fret.

"How can you retract it?"

In human form, having a dragon tail is not only conspicuous and takes up too much space to hide, but worse, it wiggles on its own to suit the mood whenever Shi An isn't looking ......

It's just not usually in the way!

Shi An mused as she felt upward along her tail, probing all the way to where the scales met the skin.

A cluster of electric currents ran through his spine.

Shi An shivered and his waist immediately went limp.

What, what's going on?

That's so weird!

Shi An's ears burned red as he busied himself with spreading his hands and gazing at his tail in disbelief.

I don't think it's ever happened before!

Black smoke peeked out quietly, looking torn and wanting to speak.

As a demonic creature that had been locked up in a narrow box for tens of thousands of years, the only thing that could pass the time was the Mu family handbook, and it had almost been able to recite the entire book backwards and forwards, and there was probably no one in the world who was more familiar with the species of dragons than it was.

Although the black smoke knows the reason, but ...... it doesn t dare to say it.

Although the number of molting periods was different for each dragon, no matter what kind of dragon it was, the last molting was the most crucial, without completing this step, even if it lived for a long time, it was not considered an adult dragon.

-- because after the last molt, the dragon will be in heat.

The rarer the race and the more powerful the dragon, the more ferocious the rut comes.

In many legends, the dragon's nature is barren, and this is not wild speculation without any basis.

However, due to the special nature of the abyssal dragon, when Black Smoke saw Shi An at first glance, it also really didn't think that the other party actually hadn't gone through the fourth molting period, and couldn't fully be considered as an adult dragon, and it wasn't until after listening to the Demon Worm recounting what had happened within the snowy mountain that it realized this matter.

The Mu Family Handbook recorded almost all the dragon types, only the Abyssal Gargoyle didn't have half a bit of information.

So the black smoke is not entirely certain.

However, it is certain that Shi An should not be fully through the molting period by now.

What he's experiencing now is just a bit of foreshadowing.

After digesting all the energy in the dragon's molt and largely regaining its pre-molt strength, the molting period was considered to have officially passed.

And by that time, it's expected that the real rut is coming.

Looking at the teenager with a panicked and bewildered face not far away, Black Smoke couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

It had now determined that although Shi An had lived for a very long time, in the tens of thousands of years before that, the other party was presumed to have absolutely no experience in that kind of area ......

What's more, he's now the last dragon in the world.

How is he supposed to find a mate!

--Black Smoke really didn't think that he would actually worry about a dragon's marriage one day.

Could this be the power of the personal covenant!

The Demon Worm was completely unaware of how many complicated thoughts had turned in the mind of this difficult man of his in the brief few seconds just now.

It flapped its wings and flew to the bed, asking suspiciously, "What's wrong, my lord? Is something wrong?"

Shi An looked at her tail with a palpitating heart and tucked it under the sheet.

That strange feeling finally subsided.

Shi An breathed a sigh of relief.

But with one thing settled, another, more pressing matter was brought back to the forefront.

Shi An frowned sadly and said, "Now Mu Hang is waiting for me downstairs, but I can't change my tail back ......"

Black Smoke then yanked himself back from his running mind.

It floated out of its little box and said, "My lord, I have an idea!"

The black smoke re-dragged the thick, ancient book and skillfully flipped to one of the pages, then poked out a wisp of translucent smoke and pointed to a line of magic spells in it:

"Look at this, I think it should work!"

Fifteen minutes later.

Mu Hang craned his head in the direction of the stairs.

The teenager came downwards fully clothed, looking in better spirits than a moment ago, but for some reason it just felt like stiff limbs and fluttering eyes.

Shi An's tail still hasn't changed back, so he had to wear a low-slung pants pants so that the long dragon tail could hang down.

He had cast the spell of blindfold according to the ancient magic spell recorded in that book, and based on the current level of human understanding of high level ancient magic, it should not be able to detect the breakage.

Mu Hang's eyes skimmed over the tail at Shi An's back.

Shi An couldn't help but tense up.

Although because of the magic spell s obstruction, Shi An knew that the other party should not be able to see it, but at the moment the other party s eyes crossed, he still couldn t help but feel that there was an indescribable ...... sense of shame.

Mu Hang frowned and looked to Shi An's empty hands, then spoke up and asked, "Didn't you pack anything?"

Shi An froze, "Eh? Pack what?"

Mu Hang: "School starts tomorrow, remember?"

"......"

Shi An frowned in confusion as she didn't slow down a bit, "Didn't forget ......"

But doesn't that mean a checkup with the Administration?

--Of course, when he arrived he would certainly not be obediently tested in this form, and when the time came to tinker with the instruments, faking it to look like everything was normal wasn't that hard for him to do.

Mu Hang : "There is no need to come back after the inspection."

He looked stoic and blandly spoke the shocking words, "I'll take you straight there in the morning."

Shi An froze for two seconds, not actually connecting the two sentences for a moment.

"I've informed your father and he has no problem with it." Mu Hang continued.

And of course, don't dare to have any opinion.

A coldness swept across the bottom of the man's eyes.

Just now in Shi An's room, although the traces weren't heavy, he still felt a bit of magic residue from the Abyss.

That residue was very mechanically thin, not like that left behind by an abyssal species of demon, but instead more like the magical power attached to some kind of prop.

If he had been hesitant before, now he really didn't feel comfortable letting Shi An stay here.

He hadn't figured out where to live yet, but at least it couldn't be here.

Shi An tried to struggle, "That ...... doesn't need to be so much trouble, I'll just go back to where I lived before."

Mu Hang's face remained calm, "It's no trouble."

He straightened his cuffs and said nonchalantly, "I'm on my way."

Shi An: "......"

?

*

On the way to the Administration, Shi An's spine was taut, his large tail tucked into the opposite side of Mu Hang by the concealment spell, afraid of being touched by the other side in the narrow space.

Mu Hang withdrew his eyes from the window and turned his head to scan Shi An, who was sitting not far from him.

It was different from the last time he relieved his opponent.

That time, Shi An had rubbed up against him unobtrusively as soon as she got in the car, but this time she had shrunk farther away, clinging to the other side of the door as if she were afraid there wasn't enough distance between them.

This kind of deliberate distance, originally Mu Hang did not care.

After all, he didn't know how many people were afraid of his identity and ability, and they were also clear about his quirk of not wanting to have close contact with people, so they never dared to get too close either.

But, for some reason, a secret displeasure swept through his heart at seeing Shi An like this.

Soon, Administration arrived.

Although it was already time to lock down the floor, as the senior officer therein, Mu Hang led Shi An through it unhindered and soon arrived at the lab.

Zhuo Fu would have apparently already been reprimanded by Mu Hang for that earlier incident of agreeing to let Shi An be taken away by the Toki family, so this time he would look all serious and a lot more professional than the last time he was hanging around.

He again asked Shi An a series of token questions and then took him for a full battery of tests.

Mu Hang was waiting outside at the time of the test, and Zhuo Fu himself was a man whose research prowess far exceeded his combat abilities, so Shi An's attempts to fool him were a piece of cake.

Soon the full set of tests was done.

Zhuo Fu lowered his head to write something on a document and said, "It should take a week to get the results, I'll let you know then."

He finished writing something, clicked the pen back into the pocket outside his white coat, and looked up at the two men in front of him:

"Officer Mu, what plans do you and Ann have for tonight?"

Mu Hang's eyes sank, "Anon?"

Zhuo Fu couldn't help but be startled when he came into contact with the other party's line of sight, "What's the matter, how cute it is to scream like that."

At this time, he seemed to suddenly think of something: "Right, I heard you say that you brought An An out of the Shi family? Why don't you simply stay at my house before school tomorrow, it's near here Oh, I can directly send you to school tomorrow ......"

Shi An thought about it... seems good?

He was about to agree.

This was when Mu Hang spoke coldly, interrupting Zhuo Fu, "No need."

Zhuo Fu tilted his eyebrows up in a look of great confusion, "Why?"

Mu Hang: "I'll take care of it."

Zhuo Fu: "...... ah?"

Mu Hang's face was cold, "Tomorrow on the way."

Zhuo Fu: "............"

What? What kind of road is this?

I suspect you're being perfunctory!

Suddenly, Zhuo Fu thought of something, suddenly startled.

He knew that the Abilities Academy had always hoped to invite Mu Hang to be a professor, and even offered a very generous compensation, but Mu Hang had never agreed, could it be ...... this time?

He nagged, "So, where's Ann staying tonight then?"

Mu Hang's tone was cold and deep, and his eyes were inscrutable, "My home."
