Chapter 165 Buttocks

Pain assaulted every fiber of Adam's body as he slowly tried to open his eyes. However, much to his dismay, he realized that he was only able to open his right eye. Something was impeding his left eyesight.

As he opened his eye, his vision was initially blurry, but a few moments later it focused. Along with his eyesight, came extreme pangs of pain that radiated all across his body.

"Ugghhh!" The teenager felt that remaining unconscious was better than having to feel this pain.

He looked around and saw a familiar sight that left him stunned. "This... How did I get here?!"

Everywhere he looked, all he could see was colorful eggs and baboons. This was exactly the place he had arrived at after exiting the Mushroom Forest!

Currently, he was lying down on a hammock situated on one of the thick branches of the towering banyan tree.

He tried to get off from the hammock, but it proved to be quite difficult than he thought it would be. It was difficult to control his injury-filled body. In the end, he could only forcefully turn sideways on the hammock, causing him to completely turn it upside down.

"Acccckkkk!" He fell face first on the thick branch underneath him, the injuries on his body seemingly worsening. "That was a bad idea."

Just as he was struggling to sit up, the annoying sounds of those mischievous baboons drifted into his ears.

"Kie! Kie! Kie!"

"Ki-kie! Ki-kie!"

"Kiiieeee!"

The baboons nearby gathered around him in an instant. Most of them seemed like they were little kids.

Some curiously observed him as if he was a rare specimen of nature, while others mostly pointed at him, laughing away, apparently finding the youth's appearance hilarious.

Adam grumbled, "What's funny, you monkey bastards?"

"Kie! Kie! Kie!" The baboons laughed out loud. Some even pointed their pink buttocks at him and taunted him. nove(l)bi(n.)com

"You..." Adam was speechless. "It's okay to make fun of others, but why show your butts in the process?"

Adam was dumbstruck. "Val! It was indeed—aghhh!"

The young dragon cared not for the fresh wounds on the teenager's body. With tear-filled eyes, he buried himself in the latter's arms and sobbed loudly.

Adam ignored the pain coursing through his body and gently patted the little guy's back. "It's okay, Little Val. Everything's fine."

"Myu..." Valerian sniffled and put his tiny arms around the youth's neck. He sobbed for a long time.

Adam smiled gently and continued to pat the young dragon. His heart warmed knowing that there was someone who cared so much for his well-being.

As the two silently shared a warm moment, the surrounding baboons that had been viciously mocking him all this while had now, for some reason, stopped. They were standing respectfully as if they were in the presence of their superior.

"Huh?" Adam noticed this and couldn't help but ask, "What's with you guys? It's very strange when you're not showing your buttocks to me..."

"Wait, that doesn't sound right." Adam's body cringed at what he just said.

The next moment, the large baboon with the scar on his chest, the one that Adam had arm-wrestled a few weeks back, appeared in front of him. Moreover, the hunched-back old baboon was also present.

But everything felt strange. Very strange.

"Why are you guys acting so weird?" The youth was baffled.

Sensing his confusion, Valerian nervously sent a mental transmission to him. After Adam heard everything from the young dragon, he was instantly dumbfounded.

"EHHH?!!" The youth's eye bulged out of his socket. "Y-Y-You what?!"

Valerian lowered his head and made a sad face. Adam had told him time and time again never to transform into his true form. For if he did, endless troubles would find them. But in the end, he went against what the youth had strictly forbidden him to do.

The young dragon tightly shut his eyes, expecting to be heavily reprimanded by Adam. However, much to his surprise, the latter instead patted his furry little head and spoke with gratitude, "Thank you, Val."

Valerian raised his head and glanced at Adam. "Myu?"

Adam's eye reflected nothing but warmth and sincerity. "Thank you for saving me."
