You’re So Heartless, But I Like It (2)
Shi An’s face was expressionless as he pulled his coat back from the Eye’s hand.
“Don’t want to.”
The Eye was devastated. “Why?”
Shi An thought for a moment and said seriously, “You’re a bit disgusting.”
The Eye was struck by lightning. “…”
Shi An lowered his eyes in contemplation for a moment. He suddenly realized something, looking up, and asked, “So this abyssal rift doesn’t have the Eye of the Abyss anymore?”
The Eye seemed to have not yet recovered from the grief of having just been rejected in a confession and said in a very depressed manner, “Mm.”
Shi An frowned and poked his fingertips at the Eye of Abyss in front of him, a little disappointed.
“Then do you still have much magical power in your body?”
Most importantly, could it still be used?
The Eye thought seriously. “The Eye of the Abyss only contains abundant magical power as an unliving being. As for now… it is only a common demonic creature’s body. Although I have lost my power, to think I can stay by your side forever, I…”
It became excited again.
Shi An slowly took a step back.
The Eye shyly said, “Of course, if you want to try and absorb me as you did before, I can give myself up for you…”
Shi An: “…”
He withdrew his hand and slowly wiped it on his shirt, rejecting it with an expressionless face. “Forget about it.”
The Eye: “…”
Hoo Hoo. You are so heartless.
But I like it.
Shi An stood up with a lack of interest and sighed.
He already had a premonition when he saw the Eye.
After all, if it was a real Eye of the Abyss, it should have exploded long ago after leaving the abyssal rift for so long, but it was still nicely staying here, so that meant that its way of existence had changed.
Moreover, the Eye of the Abyss in this abyssal rift had disappeared and the rift’s disappearance should only be a matter of time.
He might as well hasten to burn a few more demonic creatures while the abyssal rift was still there.
If he didn’t burn them, he wouldn’t get another chance.
Shi An turned around and headed out.
The Eye followed on two tiny legs, shouting fawningly, “My lord! My lord! Please wait for me!”
At that moment, Wen Yao’s anxious call rang out nearby. “–Shi An? Shi An?”
Shi An walked toward the place where the voice came from.
Wen Yao was relieved to see him. “Luckily, nothing happened to you. If not, I wouldn’t know how to explain to the Chief.”
“Look, the rift is disappearing.” She raised her finger and pointed to the sky.
The previously gray, black, and hazy poisonous mist had dissipated, gradually revealing a clear sky. As the night disappeared along with the poisonous mist, the sky took on a pale and slightly bright morning color, with a bit of brilliant sunlight faintly peeking out from below the horizon.
Wen Yao smiled.
“Chief should have wiped out the Eye of the Abyss.”
The corner of Shi An’s mouth twitched.
No, he hadn’t.
That Eye had just chased after him.
He whipped his head around unobtrusively to look.
It wasn’t there now.
But for some reason, Shi An always felt that the other side wouldn't just give up so easily.
“We have cleared this area. Even if something slips through the net, it will be stopped by the incoming support team.” Wen Yao sheathed her sword and said, “Let’s go. Chief is waiting for us.”
Shi An sighed willfully. “Okay.”
Soon, the group rushed to the arranged location.
Mu Heng was already waiting there.
Behind him was the rising sun, his light-colored silver hair was gilded with a golden glow, and the profile of his face was beautiful and cold, like a sculpture immersed in the morning mist.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Mu Heng lifted his eyes and looked in that direction.
His eyes first fell on Shi An’s body and only after scanning him carefully from top to bottom and finding that Shi An was indeed unharmed did the look in Mu Heng’s eyes relax slightly.
“How is it?” he looked at Wen Yao and asked.
Wen Yao briefly reported the mission this time.
Mu Heng nodded. “Mm.”
“Let’s head back.”
This time, something was odd about the abyssal rift, so he would have to find Zhuo Fu and ask him carefully when he returned.
The group of people got into the car.
Mu Heng, Wen Yao, Shi An, and a few other squad leaders rode in one vehicle.
The vehicle moved smoothly and the spacious cabin was silent for a while. Only the humming sound of the engine could be heard.
The bumps were gentle. The hypnotic motions were beginning to lull Shi An into a sleep, who had become increasingly sleepy recently.
Coupled with the fact that he hadn’t slept all night, his eyelids drooped a little and his head followed the rhythm of the vehicle’s swaying bit by bit.
The several squad leaders sitting across from him had their hearts lifted.
After last night, they all felt good about this highly talented and cute-looking young man.
One must know that it was Mu Heng sitting beside Shi An.
No one knew better than them how much Chief Mu disliked physical contact with people. What if…
One of the squad leaders lowered his voice and coughed lightly, sending signals at Wen Yao sitting on the other side of Shi An.
Quickly wake him up!
Wen Yao received the other party’s eye signal but turned her head expressionlessly and pretended not to see anything.
The squad leader was a bit anxious.
Captain Wen was normally quite smart, so how could she be so slow now?
At this moment, the vehicle gave another small lurch.
The young man’s head hung lower and the upper half of his body tilted vaguely over in Mu Heng’s direction.
At this moment, Mu Heng, who had been closing his eyes since a while ago, opened his eyes and turned his head to look over with an indifferent expression.
The squad leader’s heart rose to his throat.
It was over. It was over–
Only to see Mu Heng lower his eyes and calmly raise his hand, pressing Shi An’s head onto his shoulder.
The squad leader: “…”
The young man dazedly rubbed his cheek against the man’s shoulder and naturally snuggled his entire body over, adjusting a comfortable position and sleeping more soundly.
The squad leader: “…”
Someone wake me up, hurry up!
