After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up-Chapter 76.2

Desire to Monopolize (2)

Shi An said, “Eh?”

He subconsciously touched the back of his head and felt a hand full of long, cold, water-like silver hair.

Shi An: “!!!”

It was then that he realized what “each of you will be an actual participant in one of the actual battles” meant.

So this was literal!

Each student’s place in the simulation was to be the real combatant who had participated in the actual battle.

Shi An blinked and picked up the longsword in his hand.

However, his position was Mu Heng, eh? Was it random?

It was a bit novel.

He smoothly slashed a demonic creature lunging at him and raised his eyes to look around.

At that moment, Shi An saw the face of one of his “team members.”

The faces of all the others were the unfamiliar faces of the Bureau's members, realistic simulations of their faces straight from the battlefield despite the students behind them, blood and dust on their faces, serious and tense, each of them looking experienced.

Only one face was clean, terrified, and cowering–and that was Shi Rui’s.

Shi An curled his lips into a harmless smile.

Hehe.

Isn’t that a coincidence?

***

The second batch of simulation battles was over.

Shi Rui rushed to the edge of the field and vomited profusely.

He grimly grabbed one of the Bureau members, his face white and voice hoarse. “What’s wrong with your thing? Why would there be a battle between humans?”

The Bureau member was forced back a few steps by him and said, “The simulation is all about reality. If you think about it, it’s not impossible to fight among humans…”

Shi Rui’s face was twisted. “You fucking…”

At that moment, Mu Heng stepped forward. He lowered his eyes and asked indifferently, “What’s wrong?”

When Shi Rui’s eyes met the other party’s face, he instinctively cringed and took several steps back as if he had a psychological trauma.

The Bureau member briefly recounted what had happened to Mu Heng.

Mu Heng said calmly, “I’ve said it. Anything could happen on the real battlefield.”

“Even a parasitic demon infesting your comrade and manipulating them to attack you.” The depths of the man’s blue eyes were emotionless. “Who killed you?”

Shi Rui mumbled twice and shook his head with a blanched face.

The words “it was you” were stuck in his throat and he dared not say them even if he had the guts to.

***

The lesson was over.

Mu Heng stroked Shi An’s head and asked softly, “Did you have a good time?”

Shi An narrowed his eyes and smiled. “It was super fun.”

He had been putting up with Shi Rui for a very long time. If not for his close relationship with this human identity, Shi An would not have been able to hold back his temper and set him on fire.

This time, even though it was not an actual fight, it had made him happy.

However, it was more interesting for Shi An to participate in the battle from Mu Heng's point of view, more fascinating to him than making Shi Rui die a few times.

This was the first time he had fought as a human, not a demonic creature.

The feeling of not having a demon that feared his scent and having other comrades at his back to protect him was truly new to Shi An.

However, the thought that someone from the previous group of students had drawn Mu Heng’s identity made Shi An very unpleasant.

It was like something that belonged uniquely to him had been touched by someone else.

He thought about it and asked, “Is every character in this a random one?”

Mu Heng lowered his eyes to look at Shi An. “Only mine isn’t.”

Shi An blinked. “???”

Mu Heng said to him, “Only you can use my character.”

Shi An was immediately subdued.

This statement was very comforting to him as a dragon that was extremely possessive of all its possessions.

The more he looked at the human in front of him, the better he looked.

Not only was it shiny and extremely aesthetically pleasing to him, but it was also very self-conscious as a collection, so it was perfect!

He smiled happily, his pleasure almost oozing out of his eyes.

Mu Heng gazed at the young man in front of him.

The color of his eyes deepened slightly as his eyes fell on the other man’s smiling lips.

Good.

It was fine, even if it was a bit too selfish or intense…

It was okay to want a little more, no matter how much.

Until it was no longer possible to escape from him.

But until that day came, he would hide all his dark and extreme desires deep and unveiled, taking his time.

With patience.

“!!!”

Shi An’s pace suddenly lurched, his eyes widening as he seemed to think of something with a jolt.

Hold on…

Hadn’t he originally intended to end this strange and ambiguous relationship by bluntly distancing himself from Mu Heng?

Why did it not only not end but seem to have gotten closer?

This was not right!

Mu Heng stopped walking and turned his head to look at Shi An. “What’s wrong?”

Shi An was slightly distracted.

How should I turn the conversation around this time?

Mu Heng’s eyes dropped slightly, his deep gaze falling on Shi An’s body. “What do you think of the training plan Zhuo Fu let you try last time?”

Shi An recalled for a moment and said, “It’s pretty good.”

It was true.

Although it was only a preliminary and brief attempt, he could feel that magic power absorption from those demonic creatures he had burned earlier on the periphery of the abyssal rift was faster.

Unknowingly, Shi An was sidetracked from his thoughts again.

Mu Heng stroked his head and asked casually, “Are you hungry?”

Shi An: “!!!”

His eyes lit up. “Hungry!”

Mu Heng silently curled his lips. “Let’s go to the same place as last time.”

His eyes were obscure and unpredictable, but his voice was very soft.

“There’s ice cream after the meal.”
