After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up-Chapter 103.1

No Doubt, It was the Dragon (1)

While the members of the Bureau were busy, Shi An slowly went around to the back edge of the volcanic crater.

The brilliant and glittering gold and gems were piled into highly high peaks, casting deep shadows on the ground.

He tilted his head and looked upward.

Thick volcanic ash had condensed into looming clouds, stacking up darkly overhead, with faint flickering fire between the black shadows.

The stifling heat was building up and the air was thick with the sulfur smell.

In the distance, he could faintly hear the sound of human chatter.

Shi An withdrew his gaze.

Not knowing if it was because of lowering his head too quickly, he suddenly felt a little dizzy.

A bright golden light appeared in front of his eyes.

“…” Shi An blinked his eyes and slowly shook his head.

… Strange.

He slowly took two steps forward and raised his hand to press on the pile of treasures in front of him.

The clattering sound of metal clashing rang out, crisp and pleasing to the ear, and bright shining light fell from his side, falling to his feet on the ground, but the sound became distant.

His vision was tinted with golden-red and silvery patches of light.

Shi An furrowed his brow.

It was like a heavy hammer pounding deep in his head, emitting a thumping sound.

The air seemed infested with a unique element that whispered and murmured silently.

The young man’s long, pitch-black eyelashes drooped slightly, his pupils shrunk to the size of pinpoints, and a crimson, flame-like golden aura spread under his eyes, gradually swallowing up the black.

He took a step forward again.

It was as if his knees had lost their strength, and both legs became soft and feeble, completely unable to support the weight of his body.

He was going to fall.

A vague thought flashed through Shi An’s mind, but without having time to catch it, the scene in front of him suddenly turned upside down like a spilled paint tray. All the images began to fall apart, eventually turning into indistinguishable blurred edges. Ṟ𝖆ɴΟBΕ𝙨

“Clatter!”

The pile of treasures was knocked over and the crisp sound of metal tipping rang out, appearing distant and faint in the large volcanic crater.

However, Mu Heng, who was not far away, seemed to feel something.

He subconsciously stopped his arrangement, twisted his head to look in the direction where the sound came from, and then captured the moment when Shi An fell.

At that moment, it was as if time had slowed down.

Mu Heng’s pupils suddenly constricted.

His body started to react before he even realized it.

He skillfully compressed the space, hurriedly took two giant steps, and moved to Shi An’s side almost in the next second.

The young man collapsed on the pile of treasures and his slender figure looked fragile compared to the golden mountain behind him as if he would be swallowed up in the next second.

Mu Heng’s brow was furrowed. He picked up Shi An and gently carried him into his arms at the first opportunity.

His lips were pursed into a straight and cold line, looking down fixedly at the other person–

only to see the young man’s eyes tightly closed, his face as pale as paper, soft hair scattered with the change of posture, outlining a clear jawline, appearing more slender and helpless.

“Shi An?” Mu Heng called the young man’s name in a low voice.

He quickly took off one of his gloves and directly caressed the other’s forehead and cheek with his bare palm. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Shi An’s skin was cold and soft, without a trace of sweat as if it was lifeless marble.

Wen Yao did not expect the chief to stop halfway when he talked about tactics suddenly, and his entire person instantly disappeared.

Even she couldn’t help but be stunned for two seconds.

Wen Yao quickly regained her senses and walked briskly toward the place where the commotion came from.

She separated the gathering crowd and went to Mu Heng’s side.

When she saw Shi An’s unconscious pale face, Wen Yao couldn’t help but be slightly shocked.

“W-What’s going on?”

Mu Heng frowned and shook his head silently. He used his fingertips to press on the young man’s neck and probed his pulse.

The pale green blood vessels burst under the soft white skin, pumping blood.

The beating rate was fast and seemed to be accelerating.

Wen Yao turned back and shouted, “Where are the medics? Come quickly!”

Soon, the medics accompanying the team hurriedly arrived. They wanted to take Shi An from Mu Heng’s arms but were stunned by the other party’s cold eyes.

“That… chief…”

They said with difficulty, “We have to examine carefully…”

Mu Heng took a deep breath and pushed down the hostility overflowing under his eyes.

He slowly let go of his hand, placed Shi An on the first aid bed built in an emergency, and then stood up.

As Mu Heng’s direct subordinates, the Bureau members felt stunned.

Although Mu Heng had never concealed his particular attitude toward Shi An, especially the unabashed contact in the corridor within the Bureau before, which had almost circulated throughout the Bureau.

Despite this, they could not help but suck in cold air when they finally witnessed this scene.

It turned out that the chief, who was always cold and arrogant, would be affected by a person to such an extent…

It was truly unimaginable.
