After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up Chapter 28.1

Shi An: "Eh? No payment?"

Looking at the doubtful face of the young man in front of him, Zhuo Fu felt a lot of psychological pressure.

But... how did he know what kind of reward Mu Heng had promised the other party!

Zhuo Fu could only bite the bullet and said, "Well, um, in fact, this matter is not so easy to end, there are still many pieces of information that we have not fully pieced together for the time being, and you may need to continue to cooperate in the future, after everything is over, um, let's talk about payment."

Shi An lowered his eyes in disappointment.

"So it’s like this."

Zhuo Fu felt that on top of his own psychological pressure, there was another layer of guilt.

He couldn't help but ask, "By the way, what did Mu Heng promise you?"

Shi An thought about it and said, "I haven't had time to tell him yet."

At that time, he called and asked, "Is there any payment?"

Mu Heng replied, "Yes."

Shi An: "That's good."

——So, in this way, he was inexplicably confused.

"..."

After listening to Shi An's story, Zhuo Fu fell silent.

He didn't expect that Mu Heng would agree directly without knowing what the other party's conditions were. Either he was confident enough that he could easily do whatever Shi An asked him to do, or... it was because of his obsession with dragons, deep to the point where he didn’t care about other things at all.

According to Zhuo Fu's understanding of Mu Heng, it was very likely that both were true.

Shi An said with understanding, "Don't worry, I won't deliberately make some embarrassing demands. The reward I want is very small."

It was just a book, plus at least ten tons of gold and silver treasures!

Looking at the innocent-looking young man in front of him, Zhuo Fu sighed with relief, and couldn't help reaching out and rubbing the top of the other's soft hair.

Oh, what a gracious child!

Shi An returned to the villa.

The old butler immediately greeted him and looked over with a worried look, as if he had just returned from some tiger or wolf's den.

"Young master, are you okay? Is anyone threatening you?"

Shi An: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

The old butler looked Shi An up and down, and after confirming that his arms and legs were in good condition, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and revealed, "By the way, young master, the master called just now."

Shi An frowned and said impatiently, "What does he want?"

The housekeeper did not correct Shi An's extremely disrespectful tone, but sighed and continued earnestly, "Master hopes you will move back today, and someone will be sent to pick you up after a while."

Shi An yawned: "No."

Old butler: "But..."

"Not going.

At this moment, the sound of an engine stopping came from outside the door, and then the doorbell rang.

The butler glanced at Shi An, hesitated for a second, then turned around and opened the door.

Shi Rui stood at the door, still with a gentle and meek look: "Hello, my father asked me to pick up my brother and take him back to the main house."

Before waiting for the butler to reply, a boy's impatient voice came from behind him:

"Ah... it's so troublesome."

The butler stepped aside.

The slender boy walked out from behind him, his brows furrowed, his dark eyes fixed on him.

There was a look of extreme doubt on his face: "Are you all incapable of understanding human speech?"

Shi An thought that his accent was fairly standard and there shouldn’t be any language barrier with humans.

But those two people, one calling him brother with every breath, the other insisting that he move away…

—they’re really annoying!

Shi Rui: "But..."

The young man in front of him narrowed his eyes slightly, and deep in his dark pupils, a crimson light flashed.

He smiled, and his beautiful face without any aggression seemed to glow in the sun. His emotionless voice was inexplicably chilling: "But what?"

For some reason, Shi Rui felt as if something was stuck in his throat.

His heart rate soared rapidly in a short period of time. He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

What, what was going on?

Panicking, Shi Rui looked at Shi An, who wasn’t far away.

The distance between them was very small, just a few steps wide, but it inexplicably gave Shi Rui a lingering illusion——

Between those short steps, there seemed to be a bottomless pitch-black abyss.

"Some things only need to be said once, don't make me repeat them all the time."

Shi An turned around, but his eyes still fell on Shi Rui. In the depths of his dark eyes, there was a little scarlet fire, like a dark fire burning at the bottom of the abyss:

"Don't bother me again."

The boy's soft tone seemed to be coquettishly complaining, but there was a bit of terrifying coldness in it.

Shi Rui stood still.

It wasn't until Shi An turned around and left, and the door mercilessly closed in front of him, that he finally came back to his senses.

The sun above his head was blazing hot and burning his shoulders, but it couldn't dispel the chill from Shi Rui's body.

Unable to move for a long time, he looked suspiciously at the closed door in front of him,.

Was it just... an illusion?

Shi An, that trash Shi An, why did he have such a terrifying gaze?
