Chapter 154

Extra: Little Hatchling Transformation! Part 1

Two months later, Shan Ming returned on time. The mission had been completed smoothly, and he earned a substantial sum of money. After receiving the remaining payment, he made a trip to Colombia to deliver the good news of Tiger Shark and Pelle to Jobb and the others. Although Jobb was so jealous of Tiger Shark that pounded his chest in frustration, everyone could see that deep down, he genuinely felt happy for them.

The new Peregrine Falcon was operating very smoothly. The dozen or so new recruits they brought in proved to be reliable. After successfully completing several missions, their reputation remained untarnished. Shan Ming felt a sense of relief and satisfaction.

They all tried to persuade Shan Ming to stay, hoping he would return. However, considering various factors, Shan Ming ultimately declined. The life he had lived on the edge, surviving by the blade, was because he didn’t know any other way to exist. But now, he had attachments, and he was different from before. He had concerns about stepping onto the battlefield. This wasn’t a good thing because those who feared death would meet their end even faster. Instead of facing death with reservations, it was better to recognize reality and exit the stage of a mercenary.

Everyone expressed their understanding and stopped persuading him further. During Shan Ming’s time in Colombia, he helped train the new recruits, imparted his experience, and conducted simulated battles. He provided a great deal of assistance to the newcomers. The military training conducted by an experienced mercenary like them would typically demand hefty fees from any organization or group. However, Shan Ming only wished for the continued success of the Peregrine Falcon.

During that period, they often gathered to drink and boast, often getting intoxicated and stumbling around. Shan Ming subtly rediscovered the sense of boldness and composure he had in his earlier days. It infused him with a newfound strength, making every day he spent there filled with invigoration.

However, as the two-month deadline approached, Shan Ming started missing Shen Changze. He longed for the warmth of his palm, the passionate kisses they shared, and the countless intense moments of their love-making. He knew that he was no longer the same Shan Ming as before. Shen Changze had changed him, giving him a place to yearn for and return to.

And so, he knew that the time had come. It was time for him to go back home.

Shan Ming felt a bit annoyed and said, “Contact Tang Tingzhi, tell him to come back and see me as soon as possible.”

“I know, I know,” Oriole replied. “Major knows that you’re back, and he will come to see you in the next couple of days.”

Shan Ming pursed his lips and said, “Where are you heading? Isn’t this towards the outskirts?”

“Ah, yes. Major bought a house there, and he asked me to take you there.”

Shan Ming’s mood improved a bit, thinking to himself that this kid was really efficient. It had only been two months, and the house was already ready.

During the rest of the journey, Shan Ming and Lily chatted about various topics. Shan Ming updated Lily on the current situation of the Peregrine Falcons, which made Lily very happy. She exclaimed that she also wanted to go back and see them, urging Oriole to hurry up and take an official leave.

Oriole drove him to the outskirts, a journey of over forty minutes from the city center. The area was home to several mountainside villas, each situated at a considerable distance from one another, as if each villa had its own small hill. They were completely independent and secluded, and from a distance, it looked incredibly magnificent and grand.

Oriole sighed and said with envy, “Being a mercenary really pays well.”

Lily pursed her lips and replied, “So what? I can afford it too. Who told you to refuse?”

Oriole blushed and awkwardly said, “How could I let a woman spend this money?”

Lily looked at his earnest expression and couldn’t help but pinch his cheek. “You’re always so adorable.”

Shan Ming carried his luggage and followed behind Oriole as they approached the door. Oriole opened it, and the three of them walked in together.

“Wow, it’s really beautiful,” Lily couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

This mountainside villa had three levels. The main residence had a living area of approximately 1,000 square meters. In addition to the master bedroom and guest rooms, it also carried various functional rooms. The highlight would be the expansive gym, occupying the entire basement area of over 300 square meters. On the top floor, there was even an outdoor swimming pool and a Jacuzzi tub. It was more luxurious and well-equipped than a typical vacation villa, leaving everyone captivated and filled with excitement.

Shan Ming nodded admiringly and said, “This kid has pretty good taste and also acts fast. Alright, from now on, this will be our home.” He threw his suitcase onto the floor and immediately sprawled out on the large leather sofa, imagining how exciting it would be to have sex with Shen Changze on it. The corners of his mouth curved up as he indulged in those thoughts.

Lily chuckled and said, “Shan, what are you thinking about? To make you smile like that.”

Shan Ming grinned and replied, “I’m thinking about my son coming home. What’s wrong with that? Lil’Oriole, hurry up and call Shen Changze, tell him to come back immediately. I’ve already returned, but he’s still not home. Bruh.”

Oriole said helplessly, “Okay, I’ll call the Colonel right away.”

After spending some time together, the two of them bid farewell. Although Shan Ming was very satisfied with the house, he still felt that it was too empty without Shen Changze. That night, as he tried to sleep, he tossed and turned, unable to find rest. He had been looking forward to coming home and having a passionate time with Shen Changze, to release the pent-up loneliness of the past two months. He didn’t expect that…

Shan Ming finally understood firsthand the meaning of “burning desire” and “sleepless nights.” He couldn’t help but curse the heck out of both Tang Tingzhi and Shen Changze in his mind. It wasn’t until the late hours of the night that he finally managed to fall asleep.

The next day, to Shan Ming’s disappointment, Shen Changze didn’t return as he had anticipated. He managed to hold his patience on the first day and even the second day. But by the third day, he couldn’t bear it any longer. He started making calls to Oriole and Ayer, urging them to have Shen Changze come back and see him immediately.

Fuck, he couldn’t understand anymore. He had returned on time, exactly as agreed upon, but Shen Changze was nowhere to be found. The hell is this? Was Shen Changze looking for trouble? If he had known this would happen, he should have stayed in Colombia for a few more days.

By the evening of that day, Shan Ming’s anger had become uncontrollable. It was only then that Ayer called him back, informing him that he was on his way to pick up Shen Changze and bring him over.

Shan Ming didn’t realize that Ayer’s words sounded off, so he didn’t dwell on why Shen Changze needed to be “brought” over. In any case, he eagerly awaited the return of that brat, ready to give him a good beating and vent his frustration.

Two hours later, the doorbell rang, and Shan Ming quickly jumped up from the sofa and opened the door.

At the door stood Ayer, holding a blanket in his hands.

There was no Shen Changze.

Shan Ming leaned out to take a look and confirmed that Shen Changze was indeed not there.

He furrowed his brow and asked, “What’s going on? Where is he?”

Ayer’s expression was rather strange, and his tone sounded helpless as he replied, “He’s already back.”

“Shit, you guys have been studying invisibility cloaks?”

Ayer sighed, “Don’t get too worked up…” and then he uncovered what he was holding in his hands.

Shan Ming lowered his head to take a look, and under the blanket was a golden thing. Upon closer inspection, he saw round stubby horns, smooth golden scales, tiny wings that neatly hugged the body, and a slender tail coiled around the waist. It was a completely miniature version of a golden Dragon Kin, appearing to be only two or three years old, not even as long as his arm.

Shan Ming was dumbfounded, his voice trembling as he asked, “What is this?”

Ayer carefully observed Shan Ming’s expression and said, “Your son.”

Shan Ming exploded in anger, “Bullshit! You birthed it?”

Ayer exclaimed, “I told you not to get worked up. He really is your son, this is Shen Changze.”

Shan Ming’s face turned green.

Ayer took a step back, saying, “Don’t be impulsive.” As he looked at the murderous expression on Shan Ming’s face, he finally understood why Tang Tingzhi asked him to be the one to bring Shen Changze back.

Shan Ming pointed at the chubby and soundly sleeping naked baby and asked, “You… how… did this happen?”

“This… is Tang Tingzhi’s new experiment, involving energy compression or something like that. Unexpectedly, apart from some flaws, he suddenly transformed into this state. Now, he’s probably… two years old.”

Shan Ming kicked the shoe cabinet at the entrance, creating a big hole.

The little one in Ayer’s arms suddenly opened his eyes wide. His gaze was filled with astonishment and confusion. Slowly turning his head, he caught sight of Shan Ming. A hint of grievance appeared in his crimson eyes as he extended his lotus-like little arms towards Shan Ming and uttered in a tender and delicate voice, “Dad.”

Shan Ming’s vision went dark, and he almost fainted.
