Chapter 138

Shen Changze stayed by the bed for three hours. Shan Ming’s fever had noticeably subsided, and he had regained consciousness. Shen Changze anxiously watched as Shan Ming slowly opened his eyes. When their gazes met, Shen Changze could clearly see a trace of fear in his eyes, though it vanished in an instant, replaced by anger and malice.

Shen Changze touched his forehead gently and said quietly, “Dad, I lost my temper. Please don’t hate me.”

Shan Ming opened his mouth and spat out two words, “Fuck off.” After speaking, he realized that his throat was incredibly dry.

Shen Changze poured a glass of water and helped Shan Ming up, supporting him to take a sip. He gently stroked Shan Ming’s back and said, “It’s my fault. I couldn’t control myself.”

Shan Ming closed his eyes and said, “Scram.”

Shen Changze’s expression remained unchanged, but sadness filled his eyes. “It won’t happen again. Don’t be afraid of me. I never intended to harm you.”

Shan Ming said hoarsely, “Shen Changze, you’re not normal.”

Although he had previously found Shen Changze’s possessiveness towards him somewhat abnormal, when he looked at his own son, regardless of the good and the bad, he completely overlooked this discordance. Moreover, while Shen Changze was somewhat dominant, most of the time he was obedient to him. He had never imagined that one day he would feel fear and resistance due to Shen Changze’s intense desire to control him.

Shan Ming lowered his eyelids, unable to muster the courage to meet Shen Changze’s gaze.

Shen Changze gently leaned down, he said with a soft voice into Shan Ming’s ear, “Dad, you can’t regret it. I am your man, and that will never change. You can only choose to accept me. Don’t let me hear such words again. You can’t escape from my grasp. You belong to me, you will always belong to me.”

Shan Ming remained stiff, his body tensed as he listened to those words. His ear received a gentle kiss, one that was moist, warm, and tender. Yet, it sent a chill down his spine, leaving him cold from head to toe.

Shen Changze wove a web over him, leaving him with no escape, ensnaring him completely, which only made him want to break free.

How did things come to this? He had raised this child with his own hands, and now it seemed like the child wanted to devour him. He felt as if he had nurtured a wild beast, no, Shen Changze was indeed a beast.

Was that soft, timid child who always sought comfort in his embrace nothing but an illusion? The “son” standing before him now felt unfamiliar and terrifying!

Shen Changze suppressed the waves of heartache welling up within him, forcing himself to regain composure. Shan Ming had just been thoroughly tormented by him, and he didn’t want to further enrage him. Handling Shan Ming was clearly more effective through gentleness, but recently, their interactions always seemed to end in anger and fists.

Shen Changze slowly pressed down on Shan Ming’s body, urging him to lie back on the bed. He then took off his shoes, pulled the covers, and lay down beside him.

Shan Ming turned his head and stared at him coldly, his eyes filled with defense.

Shen Changze reached out and pulled him into his embrace, “Just ten minutes, only ten minutes, and then I’ll leave.” He didn’t want to see the resistance in Shan Ming’s expression anymore, so he put his chin on top of Shan Ming’s head, gently rubbing against it. At the same time, his warm palm tenderly caressed Shan Ming’s back, one gentle pat at a time.

Being as exhausted as he was, Shan Ming couldn’t help but feel a wave of drowsiness wash over him in this familiar embrace. His eyelids grew heavy, and he struggled to keep them open.

Shen Changze’s voice echoed in his ears like an incantation, “Dad, I love you. No one loves you more than I do. Look only at me, think only of me, don’t reject me, you won’t be able to escape. Wherever you go, I’ll find you. You’re not allowed to leave me, you’re not allowed to betray me…”

Shan Ming closed his eyes, leaving only a sigh in his heart.

After Shan Ming fell asleep, Shen Changze left the room. Zhao Qingling still hadn’t returned, and nobody could reach her. Everyone was worried that something had happened to her. So, at the fastest speed possible, Shen Changze hurried back to the abandoned hospital. After all, they were his biological parents, and he didn’t want to see any tragedy.

Shan Ming, still not fully recovered from the fever, spent the next two days in a drowsy state, confined to the bed. When he was finally able to get up, three days had passed. Tang Tingzhi informed him that the latest news relayed by Shen Changze confirmed that Zhao Qingling had been captured by Shen Yao.

Shan Ming asked, “Where’s the Horn of Sea Dragon?” That thing is too terrifying. If Shen Yao gets hold of it, stopping him will require sacrificing far more resources than they currently have.

Tang Tingzhi shook his head. “No one knows where the Sea Dragon’s Horn is. Although Zhao Qingling is unwilling to give it to Shen Yao, she won’t give it to us either. Even though I have been tasked with bringing back the lost Sea Dragon’s Horn, but…,” Tang Tingzhi’s calm expression simmered with a hint of worry.

Ayer pinched his ear. “All you need to do is bring yourself back, that’s enough. Stop thinking about that damn Horn. That thing should be destroyed.”

Shan Ming dressed quickly, took a gulp of water, and said firmly, “We must go and rescue her. I’m familiar with the surroundings of that abandoned hospital, and with Shen Changze on our side, I believe this is the best opportunity to defeat Shen Yao.”

Yang Guan said, “What if he has already obtained the Sea Dragon’s Horn?”

Ayer narrowed his dangerously blue eyes and said in a deep voice, “Then we can’t wait until he makes the most of his resources before taking action all the more.”

Tang Tingzhi nodded. “Exactly, this time we need to take the initiative and confront him. I am confident that our strength can definitely match his this time.”

The group consisted of a total of thirty-two individuals this time, with thirteen Dragon Blood Kin among them. It can be said that the government had dispatched their most exceptional Dragon Blood Kins, whom they had nurtured for many years. Given the previous devastating losses, the higher-ups were furious. They were determined to bring Shen Yao under control this time, even if it meant sacrificing everything, or else they wouldn’t be able to justify themselves.

Ayer pounded Shan Ming’s shoulder and asked, “You good to go?”

Shan Ming’s face was still somewhat pale, but now wasn’t the time to lie in bed and rest. He wiped his face and said proudly, “If you are, then I am too.”

Ayer placed a large plate of meat in front of him and said, “Eat up, and then we’ll set off.”
