Not Even Death Can Snatch You from my Hands (1)
Shi An lowered his head and took a look at Mu Heng on his shoulder.
The other man's eyelashes drooped down and closed tightly, his face pale from blood loss and the outline of his brow bones was hard and deep. Even though unconscious, his lips were still tightly pursed, appearing cold and indifferent, continuing to shut people out.
“… Hey,” Shi An shouted tentatively.
The other person did not answer.
The man's breath was weak and his long silver hair was unbound, sliding down like a waterfall and spreading over Shi An's shoulder.
Shi An's movements paused slightly as his eyes fell on Mu Heng's body.
So far, he had never seen Mu Heng look so frail.
The young man inhaled and his dark, bright eyes slowly lit up.
…. Great!
If he wanted to make Mu Heng into a shiny amber, now was the best time to do it!
No need to make an effort at all!
Although he had given up on going to the auction house to get his treasure back temporarily, it was more important to be here in the cave right now. If Mu Heng died or fell into someone else's hands, his plans to make his perfect collection would be ruined forever.
Shi An lowered his head, carefully rubbed his cheek against the top of the other man's hair, and narrowed his eyes slightly in happiness.
Baby, you're about to be mine forever.
He let out a whistle.
A minute later, the huge skeleton horse appeared in the cave with its white-bony head hanging low. Its ribs were still scorched and it gazed at the unconscious human in front of him with its dark gaping eyes, its dark blue flames leaping wildly, stirred by the blood.
Shi An saw right through the mind of the undead species before him.
He smiled, a ray of crimson fire glinting in the depths of his eyes. “Don't touch him.”
“If you dare to lick him, I will break every bone in your body and turn them into firewood, understand?”
The young man's voice was soft with a smile, but there was a look of cruel intent in his eyes.
The skeleton horse: “…!”
As if it understood the threat of the demon before it, it immediately restrained its salivating hunger and lowered its head in a submissive gesture.
Seeing that the skeleton horse had suppressed its unpleasant desires, Shi An withdrew his gaze and smiled faintly.
“Not bad.”
He laid a looted cotton-padded coat on the skeleton horse's back, then shook the demon insect and black smoke out of his pockets and directed them both to carry the unconscious Mu Heng onto the horse's back.
As if sensing the approach of a strange scent, Mu Heng's stern brow furrowed and his gloved fingers twitched slightly as if he was trying to break out of his drowsiness and assume a fighting stance.
Shi An leaned forward and rubbed the tip of his nose against the other man's cheek, his tone gentle. “Don't worry. Just sleep.”
The man's brow relaxed a little and he drifted off again.
Black smoke cautiously moved over and said to the demon insect confusedly, “That… the Lord Dragon and this human should be enemies, right?”
Demon insect said, “Mm.”
Black smoke replied, “I heard it when those humans were chatting just now. So, did Mu Heng come here to save the Lord Dragon?”
Demon insect said, “Mm.”
Black smoke answered, “Then, did the Lord give up going to the auction house and turn back to save Mu Heng?”
Demon insect responded, “Mm.”
Black smoke was silent for a while. “… You know what I'm going to ask.”
Demon insect answered, “Mm.”
“But you also don't know?”
“… Mm.”
Shi An settled Mu Heng down and turned his head toward the demon insect and black smoke.
“Why are you guys frozen there? Let's go.”
The two demon creatures opted to unanimously forget about the earlier conversation and flew into Shi An's sleeve as the three demons, one man and one dragon, walked outside the cave.
Soon, the large cave was empty.
***
Twenty minutes later.
Heavy shadows loomed and the sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the tunnel.
A group of mercenaries soon walked in.
He stepped forward, stopped before the blood-stained scene, and looked around.
The cavern before him was scorched and blackened by the flames, corpses were everywhere, and the spell in front of him had been destroyed.
He knelt, his gloved fingers brushing over the sword marks on the ground and the frozen, bloody remnants of ice.
“Mu Heng is injured and won't be able to leave far.”
The mercenary leader stood up and said, “Everything has been arranged by above. We have received the approval of the Aiwen District's upper ranks and since Mu Heng killed two of the Chen family's sons, the whole Chen family in Aiwen District has allowed us to move. He won't be able to escape anymore this time.”
He ordered, “Continue to seal the mountain. Don't let even a housefly escape. Begin to search all over Aiwen Snowfield. No matter the cost, you must find this person for me!”
