The heart felt like it was being tickled by something soft, the sensation new and strange.

Chapter 44

Principal Pei pointed the cover of the book on the desktop with his thin and dry fingers, a pair of gray eyes looked through the glasses set on the bridge of his nose, and said, "This is an ancient book that has been passed down from the ancestors of Chief Mu's family, and I'm afraid that it would be difficult to find such an old book in the world, such a precious book, and logically, I should have handled it in person, but now that I'm old, I'm afraid that I am not able to do so. ......"

He coughed a few times, waiting for his breath to settle, before looking at Shi An , Dao:

"How are you considering it?"

Shi An: "......"

He looked at Mu Hang, who was standing on the side with a puzzled expression, and then turned his head to look at the kindly old principal, and finally looked at the book on the table that he had been searching for a long time.

What else can we do?

Shi An nodded stiffly and said dryly, "No, no problem."

Old Principal Pei smiled amiably.

He scrutinized the teenager standing in front of him and said, "That's great, I'll have my aide look over your class schedule and set up a time."

Mu Hang looked to Old Headmaster Pei and said, "Excuse me."

Principal Pei shook his head with a smile, "Sir, you don't have to be so polite, the accident last time without your help, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been able to end easily, I haven't formally thanked you yet."

Mu Hang nodded at old Principal Pei and turned to leave.

Shi An was still standing in the same place, his eyes fixedly falling on the ancient book not far away, seemingly lost in thought.

Mu Hang lowered his eyes, and his sight fell on Shi An for a moment.

Naturally, he raised his hand, his palm fell on the top of the teenager's soft hair, and pressed it hard: "Gone."

"Oh ...... oh!"

Shi An, that's when he came back to his senses.

He craned his head, casting one last glance toward the ancient book that had been left inside the Headmaster's office before sighing and reluctantly following Mu Hang's lead.

The tall tower where the principal lived was thin and narrow, and the steps were curved and steep; going up the tower was difficult enough, and going down was even more arduous.

Shi An hangs his head a bit absentmindedly, and for a moment, he steps out of the way.

His eyes widened slightly, and his entire body instantly lost its balance and fell forward.

He was about to hit the straight and broad back of his opponent, but Mu Hang, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, stopped his footsteps abruptly.

He sidestepped slightly and gently lifted his hand to scoop up Shi An.

Mu Hang loosened his hand around Shao's thin waist, and his eyelashes lowered to hide his pale blue eyes:

"Watch your step, don't wander off."

Shi An was so shocked that her heart and lungs stopped and she nodded with a palpitating heart, "Okay, okay."

Mu Hang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked towards Shi An thoughtfully.

What's going on here?

Shi An's heart was in turmoil, and his spine subconsciously tensed.

Only Mu Hang frowned and said, "Too skinny."

Shi An : "......?"

Huh?

"And too little stamina." Mu Hang's relentless gaze fell on Shi An's body with an undertone of rational assessment.

He said, "Give Wen Yao a copy of your class schedule later."

Shi An felt a sudden sense of foreboding and asked warily, "What for?"

Mu Hang withdrew his gaze and turned to continue down the path, "Training."

Shi An: "......"

His expression blanked into a stupor.

No, don't!

All he wanted to do was sleep and roll around in a bed made of treasure, and have a snack and play a game in the meantime ah!

Soon, the two left the principal's tower and stood downstairs.

"It's not like I don't want to lah, but it's just, I just started school recently and I'm super busy ......" Shi An tried to struggle.

Mu Hang ponders for a few seconds:

"Fair enough."

But before Shi An could breathe a sigh of relief, he only saw the man in front of him sweeping him lightly, "In the morning then."

Shi An "......"

What's that?

*

Six o'clock the next day.

The sleepy-eyed Shi An was picked up by Mu Hang and brought to the training ground on time.

The academy has assigned Mu Hang a private training ground and a full set of equipment, which is not a bad idea.

The teenager's head drooped in a disheveled manner, and he looked as if he hadn't woken up.

Mu Hang gave him a look, "Need a demonstration?"

Shi An struggled to hold up her eyelids and nodded.

But when Mu Hang finished his demonstration, he turned his head and realized that he had disappeared.

After looking around for a week, he finally found the familiar figure on a bench not far away, the teenager balling himself up into a ball, his dark eyelashes drooping quietly, his breathing steady and peaceful, having long since fallen into a deep sleep.

Mu Hang's outstretched hand paused, but eventually slowly retracted.

By the time Shi An opened her eyes again, it was lunchtime.

He rubbed his eyes and sat up, his pitch black coat sliding off his shoulders.

Shi An blinked, taking two seconds to realize where she was.

-Boom!

A loud bang rang out not far away.

Shi An was startled and looked in the direction the voice came from.

The man's figure was slender and straight, his long silver hair was high-bound, his eyebrows were calm and cold, his five fingers wearing pitch-black gloves held a long sword condensed with magic power, surrounded by a circle of god-demonic creatures, this was the highest-ranking demonic creature that the entire training system was able to simulate, whether it was the mode of attack or the strength of power, it was even better than the real demonic creatures.

They were hideous, as tall as small mountains, and let out a deafening roar as they lunged at the human in the very center!

Mu Hang's eyes were deep and blue, his demeanor was calm and indifferent, and he could hardly feel a trace of murderous energy, but he somehow had an extremely strong aura and sense of oppression, and even if he just stood still, he was as compelling as a magnetic field.

The sword blade brought up the sound of harsh wind.

His style didn't look like an academy school trained from a proper academy, it was precise and ruthless and extremely efficient that was completely attuned to the real world, not for show, not to show off his skills, but only to kill.

The strong wind carried the man's silver hair as if it were a glittering blade.

The wailing and hissing of the magical beasts resounded throughout the training ground.

The tattered body parts in pieces turned into pale blue points of magical light and were reclaimed.

Strong sunlight fell through the top skylight, showering Mu Hang's long molten silver hair and enveloping him in a bright and dazzling halo.

Shi An stared at the brightly glowing human not far away, red-gold fire sweeping across the pupils of his dark eyes, and his large tail hanging down behind him wagged restlessly.

-Mine!

The longsword in Mu Hang's palm turned into a point of light of magic.

He turned off the simulation of the actual battle and walked towards Shi An.

The two men's eyes locked in mid-air.

The teenager's eyelashes were dark, the light under his eyes blazing and focused, gazing at him with an extremely passionate look.

Under that kind of passionate gaze, Mu Hang felt the frequency of his heart beat suddenly disorganized.

He pursed his lips and moved his eyes away less naturally, coughing lightly as he asked, "Awake?"

Shi An nodded and handed over the coat in her arms.

Mu Hang took it with downcast eyes.

Suddenly, there was a clear "grunt".

Mu Hang's hand stayed in mid-air with a slight lurch.

Shi An rubbed her empty stomach and asked hopefully, "When do we eat?"

Mu Hang raised an eyebrow, "Hungry?"

Shi An nodded, gazing expectantly at the human in front of her.

...... Though I had done nothing all morning, I was hungry pretty fast.

Mu Hang gave him a look, slung his coat over his arm, and said breathlessly, "Keep up."

Twenty minutes later.

Shi An is now completely refreshed compared to her listless appearance this morning.

He shoveled food into his mouth, unable to keep his head up.

Gotta say, the food over here is so much better than the school cafeteria, it's not in the same league at all.

"Eat slowly, don't choke." Mu Hang was a bit unable to see this and opened his mouth to remind him.

The teenager's cheeks were puffed out, and he seemed to have thrown himself so full into the struggle with the food that he didn't even listen to what he had to say.

Soon Shi An cleared the table of all the food.

He squinted his eyes contentedly, like a cat that had had its fill of sunbathing.

Mu Hang looked at the teenager in front of him, his eyes slightly deeper.

He seemed to think of something and raised his hand to beckon the waiter over, "An ice cream."

"!!!"

Shi An The entire dragon perked up once again, its eyes shining brightly as it looked towards the human in front of it, the word expectation radiating from its body.

Ice cream?

Ice cream!!!

Soon, a Haagen-Dazs was delivered, and Shi An's eyes went straight, unblinking as she watched the waiter walk over and place the tray of ice cream on to the tabletop.

"For me?" The teenager's eyes sparkled.

"Uh-huh."

At Mu Hang's words, Shi An gave a cheer and devoured the small bowl of ice cream in a flash.

With a silver spoon in his mouth, he looked hopefully at Mu Hang and whispered:

"Can I have another drink?"

Mu Hang's face doesn't change, "Did you forget about your hospitalization?"

Shi An lowered her eyes in loss, and her entire dragon turned gray and dejected, looking pathetic.

He licked the spoon and scraped the bottom of the glass reluctantly.

Mu Hang: "......"

He sighed, "...... One last drink."

Shi An narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Heh heh."

Instantly, the heart felt like it was being tickled by something soft, the sensation new and strange.

Mu Hang's eyes flickered and moved away.

*

Shi An followed Mu Hang outside.

He seemed to have suddenly thought of something and slightly lowered his eyes, feeling the progress of the dragon molt's absorption.

--This time there was absolutely no way it could be an illusion.

The progress that had been stagnant has really gone upwards, and if this pace can be sustained, the tail should be back in soon.

Could ...... really have something to do with this human?

Shi An lifted her eyes and looked searchingly toward Mu Hang, who was walking in front of her.

At that moment, the other party stopped abruptly.

Shi An gathered his pace and narrowly avoided mounting it.

Mu Hang took his cell phone back into his pocket, turned his head slightly sideways, and said, "It's Principal Pei, the studio has already been packed up, and the translation work can begin this afternoon."

After taking a few steps forward, he noticed Shi An wasn't following.

Mu Hang, somewhat puzzled, craned his head to look over.

It was then that he saw that the tip of the teenager's white ear was stained with a thin layer of red at some point, pursed his lips, his eyes were averted, and he seemed to be somewhat reluctant.

Mu Hang: "What's wrong?"

Shi An: "No, nothing."

Mu Hang gave him a fixed look, "Let's go, Principal Pei is waiting for us."

Shi An's nodding paused, repeating slowly, "We?"

He snapped to attention, wide-eyed and stumbling, "So, you, you're going too?"

Mu Hang nodded, "Naturally."

He did not notice the teenager's dissimilarity and continued, "In terms of ancient languages I am not as refined as Principal Pei, but I am considered to know a little bit, Principal Pei is mainly responsible for pointing out that the main work is in you and me."

Shi An: ".................."

This means ......

He can't even open his eyes and talk nonsense!
