Chapter 161 Part 1

Extra: Ayer x Tang Part 4.1

Ayer began a long and arduous training.

At first, Ayer relied on medication to facilitate his transformation instead of relying solely on his intense emotions. The advantage of this approach was that Ayer could maintain his sanity even in the state of the Dragon Blood Kin, allowing him to undergo various training and enhancements, thus adapting more quickly to his new form.

In the beginning, with the sudden addition of a tail and a pair of wings, Ayer felt awkward even just walking. He often accidentally swept those standing beside him with his tail, causing them to stumble. He also managed to damage three or four expensive equipment pieces. As a result, all the assistants kept a distance of one meter from Ayer, except for Tang Tingzhi, who stayed by his side without hesitation, recording his every progress.

One time, as Ayer turned around, his tail struck Tang Tingzhi’s abdomen directly. Tang Tingzhi couldn’t dodge in time and instantly turned pale.

“Colonel!” Several assistants rushed up and helped him up.

Filled with both concern and anger, Ayer pushed one of the assistants away and said, “Leave.” He lifted Tang Tingzhi into his arms and placed him on a chair, gently touching his abdomen. “How are you feeling?”

Tang Tingzhi shook his head and said, “I’m okay.”

Tang Tingzhi spoke in a teaching tone, “Of course I know that. However, many species in nature exhibit clear same-sex tendencies. Although such behavior contradicts the principles of evolution and cannot lead to reproduction, we cannot deny the existence of this phenomenon itself.”

The group of devoted, innocent men present, who had dedicated themselves to the pursuit of science, awkwardly turned their heads away.

Tang Tingzhi said to Ayer, “It’s easy to determine if this is a courtship behavior. We just need to test your current hormone secretion levels.” Tang Tingzhi shimmered with the radiance of knowledge.

Ayer retracted his tail and slapped it onto the ground with a loud smack, expressing his current displeasure through puffing and glaring.

Tang Tingzhi’s eyes gleamed, “You were able to control it, try it again!”

Ayer turned his head and glanced at the large tail adorned with light purple scales. He tried to manipulate it based on his instincts, and sure enough, the tail flicked according to his thoughts. At that moment, he truly felt that this thing was indeed a part of him. Ayer stood up with delight and swayed his tail from side to side. He could control it now!

Tang Tingzhi expressed his satisfaction, saying, “Your efforts during this period have paid off. Once you become proficient, you can perform more complex movements with it, especially in terms of attack. When the Dragon Blood Kin’s tail strikes, it can deliver impacts exceeding 300 kilograms. It’s a powerful weapon.”

Just as Tang Tingzhi finished speaking, the tail came towards him again. Tang Tingzhi’s physical abilities were only at the level of an ordinary soldier, and even though his eyes saw it coming, his body’s reaction speed couldn’t keep up, making it impossible for him to dodge. He thought he was about to be struck again, but to his surprise, the tail curved in front of him and latched onto his waist with a snap.

Tang Tingzhi looked at it in astonishment.

Ayer tightened his tail, pulling Tang Tingzhi closer. Excitement was evident in his eyes. “How useful.” It was as if he had gained an extra long hand.

Ayer seemed to have discovered a new toy as he continuously wrapped his tail around different parts of Tang Tingzhi’s body.

Finally, Tang Tingzhi’s assistants couldn’t bear to watch anymore and cautiously advised Ayer, “Stop bothering the Colonel, let him go.”

Ayer snorted and said, “No. I’m hungry, go and bring me some food.” Ayer casually ordered a few dishes. He had no worries about food and clothing here. As long as he opened his mouth, he could satisfy his appetite.

So, during dinner that evening, Ayer’s tail remained wrapped around Tang Tingzhi’s waist. He resembled a child who had just received a new toy, holding on tightly and refusing to let go.

Tang Tingzhi remained calm and unaffected by Ayer’s tail wrapped around his waist. Though it slightly hindered his movements, it wasn’t painful or bothersome, and he had no intention of stopping Ayer. In his view, it was just another way for him and Ayer to communicate.

Tang Tingzhi had even prepared a notebook, always keeping it with him to record the details of Ayer’s life. Unlike his research reports, this notebook didn’t contain data or obscure technical terms. It was more like a diary of their interactions. For example, today his entry read, “Ayer can now control his tail. He wrapped it around my waist for three hours and seven minutes. I believe it’s a courtship behavior, but others disagree, and Ayer himself doesn’t agree. Further investigation is needed.”
