After Shen Long woke up, he didn’t remember a lot of things but his body felt a lot lighter. He felt physically hungry and his head hurt as if he’d been asleep for a long time. It was probably the most restful sleep he had gotten in decades and the dragon god spirit looked over to his roommate.
Ruo Han was sleeping with a frown on his face as if he was in major discomfort. Shen Long didn’t know what happened but he had a feeling Ruo Han was the one who healed all his wounds instead of Dr Iason. The flow of his chaotic energy was now less violent and more regulated. There was no way the Caladrius would know how to regulate turbulent qi. However, it would be a different story if the cultivator did it. Even if Ruo Han was a detestable fellow, Shen Lon felt the need to thank him when he woke up.
Still, it was rather rare to see the cultivator look so defenceless in his sleep. As far as Shen Long remembered, Ruo Han always had that lofty air around him tha
Over the next few days, the relationship between Shen Long and Ruo Han became slightly better even if they didn’t speak much. Ever since Shen Long brought the dragon’s beard candy back, their relationship evolved from police and criminal to partners in crime.Ruo Han apologised for the seal but promised that if Shen Long was ever in need of sexual relief or energy, he would provide it. However, he wouldn’t be removing it even if Shen Long protested.Shen Long didn’t exactly mind. In fact, he was starting to like their arrangement. While the dragon god spirit still refused to attend classes, he became more social when it came to interacting with others. He accompanied Ruo Han to the forest and they cultivated together. He would often give Ruo Han pointers as the cultivator was stuck at his current level for a long time now. At night, they would borrow the cafeteria’s kitchen to have a meal together when everyone else was asleep.The
Dr Iason was helpless. The fever was caused by a strange internal fluctuation and no healing magic or medicine could help. The best he could do was place an ice pack on Ruo Han’s head and Shen Long wasn’t pleased.“Can’t you do something?” Shen Long growled. He wanted to tear someone apart.How did Ruo Han end up falling so ill? That dark mass of energy gathered in his spiritual core was going to end up crippling his progression if something wasn’t done. As a dragon god, Shen Long would have no problem helping the cultivator through this crisis but with his powers sealed, there wasn’t much he could do. Also, one thing Shen Long couldn’t understand was where all the amassed negative energy came from. It wasn’t something born from one night and it certainly wasn’t there a few days ago. That much, he was certain of.The Caladrius was helpless. “This isn’t an illness and it isn’t an
As Dr Iason was unable to do anything for Ruo Han apart from changing ice packs, Shen Long decided to take matters into his own hands. They skipped lessons and the dragon god tended to Shen Long’s needs for the rest of the day.“Oh? You’re here again. Where’s your handsome friend?” the cafeteria lady asked. It was near closing hours again and she’d grown used to seeing the odd pair come for special requests after dinner hours.“He’s sick,” he told the household ghost who was concerned.“I see… perhaps I should make him some broth and porridge. How did he get sick?”Shen Long paused. “He ate something bad and is running a high fever now with no signs of lowering. Do you have spare ice packs?”The motherly household ghost whipped up something simple for the dragon god spirit to eat while she made the broth for his sick roommate. Shen Long was too overcome by worries
He could feel the heat burning up in both of them. Mixing his blood into the broth for the dragon vow ritual was a good idea after all. Being able to control his dragon’s blood in Ruo Han’s body, he easily suppressed the chaotic energy in Ruo Han’s golden core.Their meridians reached out to reach each other and Ruo Han’s weakening energy was nourished by Shen Long’s powerful soul. Shen Long was about to give his vow when something terrible happened.As if recognising the original owner, the chaotic energy in Ruo Han’s golden core struck out and attacked Shen Long’s mind when he was at his most vulnerable state. The dragon god spirit wasn’t expecting that and couldn’t guard against it. Shen Long slumped in the bathtub with the sudden attack but his grip on Ruo Han never loosened even after he fell unconscious as if still wanting to protect the cultivator stubbornly.Sucked into his inner world, Shen Long was
Tongues did wag but strangely, Ruo Han didn’t throw a tantrum like how Shen Long thought he would. Instead, the man took everything in calmly even when he was told they had become mates in some sense thanks to emergency treatment.“I couldn’t think of a better way to save you and the cultivation you worked so hard for. Sorry, I made the dragon’s vow without your consent, I’ll take full responsibility for everything. You will not be disgraced as an alpha, ever.”For a long time, Ruo Han was silent as everything was still too much for him to take in. Sure, he felt something strange about his golden core and cultivation level ever since he woke up but to think that Shen Long would give him the dragon’s vow… didn’t he give it to his last bride? Wasn’t that why for the last eighty years nobody could contact him? Didn’t the dragon god fall from grace because of grief? The dragon’s vow was proof of true
Klick sighed in relief when Dr Iason gave him the green light. He finally made a full recovery and can resume his normal duties. There was no risk of him running, flying, jumping or even kicking someone in the shin. His leg was fully recovered and Bruce no longer had any reasons to manhandle him into resting.“Oh, before I forget,” the good doctor stood up and reached into his drawer. “The principal told me to give you this.”Klick felt for the packet and frowned. It was something familiar and he stashed it away at his back pocket.Dr Iason sighed. Amanda told him about this special student. Yet, as a doctor, he couldn’t just let Klick do as he pleased. He might be a trained spy and assassin but the small bat omega was going to be very vulnerable in a place full of alphas even if he was using heat suppressants.“I know you feel confident in taking on any alphas if required. However, as a doctor, it is still my duty to r
It was strange. Ever since his prince moved out with the panotti, Bruce had been having this emptiness. All his life, he thought he would spend it walking beside his prince. He thought that he had to defend Syris no matter what. However, after meeting Floopy, Bruce was forced to admit. The ugly fae changed his timid prince. With someone to love and protect, Syris started acting more like an alpha. He became more assertive and less prone to bullying. He didn’t actually need Bruce around as much anymore.He hung out with Floopy’s only friend and it slowly became Bruce’s distraction. Klick was always fighting with him and that made the alpha feel less empty on the inside. As the shark merman searched for a new purpose in life, he found himself starting to entertain thoughts he normally wouldn’t care about. For instance, what it would be like to fall in love with a beta instead of an omega.The blind bat had an appointment with Dr Iason after lesson
Now that Klick was actually allowed to move without getting manhandled to rest, he took full advantage of it and refused to let Bruce help with any of the usual things. From pulling his chair out for him, returning his dishes and even talking to his stride, Bruce found himself feeling a strange sense of loss. Klick’s independence should have made him happy but the shark merman now lost all reasons to be closer to the bat demon who didn’t feel like a blind person with how quickly he was able to move around.Ruo Han wasn’t around for dinner tonight and it was just the two of them. Bruce wanted to let Klick know the news about his change of rooms but decided against it since the cultivator couldn’t make it. His new roommate was Ruo Han’s old roommate before he was sent to be Shen Long’s watcher. In some ways, Bruce volunteered to be the troublesome new roommate’s buddy because he hated the feeling of being the only one in his room. The d
