Chapter 1450: Little Jin Dragon and the Guardian Phoenix 03

Jin Chen finished admiring his wife's beauty, then immediately approached, dissatisfied, his tone involuntarily accusing.

You took so long to come, Pho—" Before he could finish the "phoenix" syllable, Chang Li hurriedly interrupted, speaking gently: "Sorry, something came up."

Chang Li sensed Jin Dragon's grievance, and his usually calm mind actually felt a slight stir.

What could be more important than me? I am the only Jin… dragon.

All right, let's go quickly.

Didn't the Leopard Elder teach Jin Dragon how to speak? Why does he have no filter?

Chang Li had a slight headache.

Jin Chen was brought by Chang Li to the side of the car, then stood there.

Chang Li opened the car door, looked at him puzzled, and said, "Why aren't you getting in?"

'What is this?' Jin Chen asked: 'Leopard Grandpa said there are no monsters in the human world, so why is there a beetle monster?'

The driver sitting in the car: '……'

Chang Li rubbed his temples, pushed Jin Chen inside and seated him, and the driver, perceptive, raised the partition.

'This isn't a monster; it's a vehicle that replaces the teleportation technique.'

'Oh.' Jin Chen nodded, then leaned in and stared intently at Chang Li, his expression serious.

Chang Li felt a bit uneasy under his gaze, and asked, 'Why are you staring at me?'

Jin Chen suddenly poked Chang Li's face, asking, 'Phoenix, do you still remember me?'

He added, 'So this is what the Phoenix looks like when she takes human form—she's really beautiful.'

Chang Li instantly felt a bit soft-hearted, and couldn't help recalling the faint memory from inside the egg.

They are divine beasts, possessing memory from birth, so even before taking human form they already knew they had each other for company.

'I remember.' Chang Li replied, his tone much softer, lacking the aloofness of their first meeting.

Only then did Jin Chen sit back satisfied, and he quietly asked, 'Why did the Phoenix take human form a thousand years before me?'

Is that even reasonable!

Chang Li thought for a moment, then said, 'Because the Phoenix is stronger than the Dragon.'

Jin Chen:?

He turned his head away in anger, his red eyes widening.

'How can the Phoenix be like this.'

Chang Li let out a calm laugh, saying, 'Otherwise, how could you have only just taken human form while we both grew up together in the nest?'

Jin Chen, furious, raised a finger on the spot, a spark of flame flickered out, but Chang Li's hand instantly pressed it out, the freezing temperature making Jin Chen shiver.

Jin Dragon possesses fire, while the Phoenix wields ice-flame divine power—a perfect mutual generation and restraint.

The sense of familiarity in Chang Li's heart grew stronger, and he recalled how, while still in the nest, that dragon egg loved to roll around everywhere, causing trouble—just like now.

'The human world forbids the gratuitous use of divine power.'

After suffering repeated blows, Jin Chen decided not to speak to the disliked Phoenix.

After getting out of the car and arriving home, Chang Li only then realized that Jin Chen's earlier silence had been due to anger.

This shows how, while on Monster Mountain, the Leopard Elder and the others had spoiled Jin Chen to the point of lawlessness.

He had the driver leave first for the workshop, then Chang Li brought Jin Chen through the gate of the standalone courtyard.

'What is your name?' Chang Li asked first.

The name of a divine beast is also part of the memory inheritance; after taking human form, Chang Li knew he was called Chang Li.

'I am Jin Chen.'

Still unhappy, he said, 'The Phoenix doesn't care about me at all, and I know you're called Chang Li.'

'All right, I'll remember that from now on.' Chang Li leaned against the vestibule, then planned to set three ground rules with Jin Chen before letting him inside.

'You also need to remember what I'm about to say; we must coexist harmoniously.'

Jin Chen nodded, then pressed his ears.

Chang Li: '……'

He couldn't resist twisting Jin Chen's ear, saying, 'Don't think I don't know you've blocked your hearing!'

'Ow!'

Jin Chen winced, rubbing his ear, and listened attentively,

It was nothing more than a warning not to cause too much trouble, similar to what Leopard Grandpa had said.

After listening, Jin Chen muttered, 'How come the Phoenix has an even bigger temper than when she was in the egg?'

Chang Li felt helpless, and instinctively rubbed him, saying, 'You need to slowly adapt to the human world's environment, or else you'll only be able to live back on Monster Mountain.'

'No way,' Jin Chen grabbed his hand and hugged him, saying, 'Leopard Grandpa said you would be my guardian, so you must take good care of me.'

Upon saying that, Chang Li realized he still needed to get Jin Chen an identification document, otherwise he'd remain a black household.

'Did the Leopard Elder tell you how old you are this year?' Chang Li asked him, and indeed he didn't pull his hand away; they were very familiar with each other's aura.

'I'm a thousand years younger than the Phoenix.'

'…That's not what I meant; I meant your human age after taking form.'

Jin Chen: 'Oh, twenty years old.'

Just as he finished speaking, Jin Chen clearly heard Chang Li avert his gaze and chuckle.

'All right, twenty-year-old kid, I'll take you to get your ID tomorrow.'

Jin Chen: '……'

So annoying.

Who's the kid?

The three-article agreement ended; Changli then brought Jin Chen into the house. Jin Chen was very "curious" about all modern facilities, poking here and there, carrying out the dragon setting to the end.

Changli went into the bedroom intending to change clothes, who would have thought Jin Chen also followed him in, standing straight at the doorway looking.

Changli: ……

"I need to change clothes, you should go out."

"Why?" Jin Chen asked.

"……Because for humans, changing clothes is a very private matter; you can't watch others change clothes." Changli explained, letting Jin Chen go out.

Jin Chen let out an "eh", "We are not humans, nor are we others."

"You are my phoenix."

Changli's slender fingers pinching the hem of his clothes slightly curved, inexplicably his ear tips turned red, coaxing him: "Be good, go out and wait for me; I'll make you something delicious in a moment."

"Alright."

A smile flickered in Jin Chen's eyes, he turned and left.

Changli let out a breath, touched his slightly warm ears, and felt his heartbeat quicken.

Is this the power of previously being in the same nest?

Changli naturally knew that the inherited prophecy said the phoenix and the Brocade Dragon were a natural pair, but it didn't say the influence would be this great; this is their first meeting after taking human form.

After quickly changing clothes, when he went out again he saw Jin Chen lying on the sofa, intently staring at the gift box on the coffee table, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Changli found his expression a bit amusing, silently took out his mobile phone and snapped a photo.

Jin Chen immediately frowned and looked over, tilting his head in the camera to express confusion.

Dragon…… seems somewhat cute.

Changli thought to himself, his gaze shifted from the phone screen to meeting Jin Chen's eyes, and he smiled: "What were you just looking at?"

"There is danger." Jin Chen pointed at the gift box, his tone solemn.
