“You Learn Very Quickly” (2)
“You learn very quickly.” The other person’s voice was still calm and cold as if he was praising Shi An’s learning ability in a focused and sincere manner with disinterested professionalism.
“I look forward to the next time.”
Shi An: “…”
The temperature dropped slightly and the formerly small space finally became spacious so that he could at least breathe freely again.
He blinked slowly as an afterthought.
His delicate palm was red, his fingers trembled slightly because of the disengagement and tension, and the burning temperature never faded.
Shi An: “…”
AHHHHHHHHHHHH!
What did I do? What did I do?
He looked dazed and his pupils shook slightly.
***
Shi An couldn’t remember how he had gotten into the bathroom.
When he regained his senses, the warm water had fallen from above, clattering down on his body.
The toiletries in Mu Heng’s house were complete, but all of them were in the same style as him, cold, simple, and practical.
However, no matter how much body wash was used and how many times he rinsed, that vivid touch remained stubbornly on his skin, no matter how it could not be eliminated.
Shi An: “…”
He closed his eyes and slowly knocked his head against the cold wall with a loud “dong” sound.
AHHHHHHHHHHH! Shi An screamed inwardly.
He didn’t know why, but he always seemed to follow Mu Heng’s lead. By the time he returned to his senses, he had already done something he would never have done in the past. The worst part was that every time he looked back, he couldn’t tell how this whole thing had happened!
Shi An crossed his arms and buried his head deep, revealing only his two red ears.
Regret. He only felt remorse.
At this point, Shi An seemed to have thought of something.
He lifted his head, inhaled, and seriously checked his body’s magic power.
The absorption level of the gray magic in the Eye of the Abyss went up again by a large margin and it was already more than half.
Shi An’s heart was mixed with sadness and joy, feeling very complicated.
It would be good to regain strength but regaining strength also means that the potion’s effect would disappear faster. When the next attack occurred, the reaction would probably become greater…
He felt utterly dragged into this vicious circle and could only follow the waves down the road.
Even though he knew what was waiting for him next, he was still pushed along the path.
Shi An looked desperate.
At this moment, he felt something cold against his thigh.
Shi An was stunned and looked down.
Silver-white, large wet tail hanging behind, the tip slightly curled, shining in the bright light of the bathroom with a brilliant metallic glow, still swinging unconsciously with the mind.
“!!!”
Shi An was startled by his tail.
When did it come out?
He hurriedly reached out and grabbed his tail, skillfully manipulating the magic power to put it back in.
Seeing the tail disappear, Shi An finally breathed a sigh of relief and regained his composure.
It should have emerged just now when he was sorting out his magic.
The tail hadn’t appeared when he entered the bathroom. Otherwise, his clothes would have been torn by the sharp scales.
Although it had now been retracted, this matter still made Shi An feel vaguely uneasy.
Due to the unstable fluctuation of the magic power level, the tail popped up unconsciously…
This was not a good sign.
Furthermore, as the vicious cycle progressed, there was a good chance that this situation would increase or get out of control.
The possibility of deterioration was high and even he didn’t know where it would end up.
Shi An thought about it and finally concluded–
No matter what, the most important thing was to go to the Luosi District now!
Before everything became more complex and unmanageable, he had to make things simple again by acting fast!
Shi An took a deep breath, rested his forehead against the cold wall, and secretly made up his mind in his heart.
“Luosi District?”
Mu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Shi An. “You want to go there?”
The young man in front of him lowered his eyes somewhat hesitantly, his wet black hair hanging down, the tips of his white ears still flushed with pink, his eyelashes depressed, looking as if he were some soft little animal.
Shi An nodded vigorously.
Mu Heng frowned. “Luosi District will be very dangerous.”
The Luosi District was a bomb now. The old forces were entangled and there were also movements of mercenary leaders. To make it worse, according to intelligence, the remaining troops of that group of cultists also seemed to have gone in that direction, not to mention the dragon.
Shi An thought about it.
“The Ability Academy isn’t very safe, too. Isn’t it?”
The last wave had precisely pointed out the security holes in the academy. The Ability Academy was now on an extended hiatus once again and would not open until the problems with the security system were taken care of.
“Besides… besides….”
Shi An pondered and the words came out of his mouth subconsciously. “What if the flare-up happens again–”
Just as the words came out, Shi An wanted to bite his tongue off.
He could make hundreds of better excuses, but why did he say this?
The temperature on his face was soaring as if it was ripe and nourishing.
However, this reason seemed to be unexpectedly practical.
The other side fell silent and did not make a sound for a long time.
After a few seconds, Shi An peeked up his eyes and looked toward the other side.
His gaze ran right into the man’s deep, dark blue eyes.
Mu Heng’s eyes were slightly narrowed, staring fixedly at him, seemingly in thought.
After that, he leaned down and his unbound silver hair flowed down, appearing dazzling in the daylight as if it were a soft, cold spring.
Although he had seen it many times, Shi An was swayed accidentally.
The man lifted a slender, firm finger and tapped his lower lip.
“It’s possible.”
Mu Heng’s voice was low and magnetic, with a bit of detached coldness, calmly saying extremely shameless words.
“But you have to give me a kiss.”
