Chapter 1457: Little Jin Dragon and the Guardian Phoenix 10

The yellow weasel demon really thought that.

You can't afford to provoke the Phoenix—could it be that you still can't kill this odd-looking person who shows no monster aura at all?

"Grandpa Yellow, I'm going to give it my all today!"

Just managing to escape from the Phoenix's grasp would already bring honor to their yellow weasel clan.

In the blink of an eye, just as Jin Chen's idea formed, the yellow weasel demon couldn't wait and surged forward like an earthworm, still managing to look somewhat imposing.

Jin Chen made no evasive move; he simply puffed out his cheeks in the direction the yellow weasel demon was charging and lifted his head.

"Whoosh—"

A mouthful of dragon fire spewed out.

"Squeak!!!"

The yellow weasel demon was frightened into revealing its true form and screaming; its bean-sized black pupils clearly saw that the fire was not ordinary, containing monster power that was in no way inferior to that of the Phoenix.

This person… no, this demon turned out to be no mere lackey!

All regret came too late; the yellow weasel demon was already half-cooked, and Jin Chen held its short, fluffy tail, swinging it back and forth in the air.

"You've done all kinds of evil, and you still want to escape from me."

Jin Chen's voice was cold: "I don't know your Dragon Grandpa!"

And yet he dares to call himself Grandpa to my face!

"Squeak?"

"What Grandpa? What dragon?"

"Dragon!"

"Didn't you check the almanac before going out today?!"

The yellow weasel demon's body went rigid in an instant, and it was literally scared to death.

Of course, it could also have been scalded to death.

Before dying, it even let out a loud, stinky fart.

Jin Chen: "……"

He found it utterly disgusting and hurriedly threw it to the ground.

Changli: "I thought you'd ask who's backing this demon."

Jin Chen then burned the yellow weasel demon's corpse with another blast of fire, his tone tinged with tsundere: "I know."

Changli tilted his head in confusion and let out an "oh."

It seems his dragon secret is far from few.

The burned yellow weasel demon's corpse turned to ash, and a monster pill slowly floated up, which Jin Chen grasped tightly in his palm.

He then treated it like a candy bean, casually popping it into his mouth and chewing it with a crisp sound.

Changli froze for a moment and said somewhat complexly: "We don't need to gain cultivation by eating monster pills; this thing… isn't good."

Let alone that it's an evil demon that has killed people.

Jin Chen nodded: "Definitely next time."

He took Changli's hand and walked far away, getting distance from the place still reeking of the fart, and meanwhile embraced his Phoenix, rubbing his chin against the hair.

"The Phoenix still smells the best."

After holding it for a while, Jin Chen said again: "I was unhappy at noon, and the Phoenix should know."

Changli could guess that; otherwise Jin Chen wouldn't have left the table midway.

Changli didn't reject the embrace, merely raising a hand to tidy Jin Chen's forehead hair and asking: "Is it because I slightly neglected you just now?"

"Yes… no, and not just that."

Jin Chen let out a slight sigh, his voice sounding very forlorn as he buried his head in Changli's neck crook: "The Phoenix doesn't heed my words; it didn't sense any danger just now."

But as to what danger it was, Jin Chen refused to say.

"If you don't tell me the reason but still want me to comply, that's overbearing." Changli said with an innocent expression.

Jin Chen gritted his teeth in anger, no longer holding on, and angrily shook off Changli's hand.

"The Phoenix is very disobedient."

Changli suddenly realized that his dragon seemed to lack any sense of security.

He went to take Jin Chen's hand, saying: "Don't be angry."

"Hmph."

Jin Chen gave a cold snort and shook off, but secretly glanced at Changli's expression.

Changli took his hand again, lifted his eyes to stare into Jin Chen's eyes, looking quite innocent.

"You don't want to cling to me today?"

Changli silently opened his arms toward Jin Chen.

Jin Chen remained silent.

Jin Chen embraced his Phoenix.

"In short, you should see less of Ning Ze from now on."

He had said this many times before; Changli pondered, then nodded slightly.

"Alright, I'll listen to you."

Changli said: "From now on, I won't meet Ning Ze at all."

Human lifespans are only a few short decades; in his days among mortals, Changli had many so-called "friends," but most drifted apart with time, and he long ago had no true confidants.

Now that he has Jin Chen, he seems to need them even less.

Only then was Jin Chen satisfied: "Phoenix, from now on don't treat me like a child—I am your partner."

Jin Chen deliberately emphasized the stress.

"Got it, you're so annoying."

Chang Li rubbed his ears, "Need to say it every day."

Only a little dragon would be this childish; obviously Jin Chen is.

Chang Li muttered in his heart, not daring to let that hot-tempered dragon hear.

The phoenix admitted!

It's simply a huge progress.

Jin Chen affectionately wrapped his arms around Chang Li's waist, chin resting on his shoulder, unusually intimate, taking advantage of Chang Li's inattention to suddenly plant a kiss on his cheek.

Then he turned and ran.

If he ran slow, the phoenix would beat him, it hurts.

Chang Li: "!"

He paused, his breathing slowed considerably; after realizing, Jin Chen had already gone far.

Chang Li: "..."

Angry, he kicked a stone.

He took back his previous words; Jin Long really hasn't become obedient at all!

And he even kissed him secretly without permission! Totally excessive.

Yet he involuntarily touched his flushed cheek; the anger in his heart couldn't compare to the sudden inexplicable joy.

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +5, total 35!】

Chang Li bought Jin Chen a phone, added emergency contact shortcuts, and taught him how to use it step by step.

Jin Chen dutifully played the idiot.

Incidentally, because he couldn't learn immediately and felt somewhat guilty, the phoenix coaxed and hugged him.

Meanwhile, Ning Ze, who didn't care, could only hurry home, looking disappointed and angry.

He never imagined that the cooperation opportunity, which was just a step away, would be so personally ruined by Chang Li!

Perhaps it's nothing to Chang Li or Phoenix Feather Studio, but to him it's important; as long as he can connect with Wei Te and has prior collaboration experience, his future industry standing will be different!

What gives Chang Li the right to ruin his prospects just because he wants to find someone? Absolutely absurd!

Ning Ze slammed the door shut and kicked the coffee table to vent his anger.

"What are you doing, you're noisy."

He Yi walked in from the balcony, his aloof, arrogant gaze sweeping over the still-angry Ning Ze, tall and slender he went to the sofa and sat down, graceful and elegant.

"Looks like your luck is again being covered by Chang Li."

Ning Ze was very angry; facing He Yi he still tried to suppress, voice deep: "The thing you had me make is already placed behind Chang Li."

He even felt somewhat urgent: "Can we really seize luck with just that feather? You said Chang Li is a phoenix, isn't a phoenix very powerful?"

"The phoenix is certainly powerful." He Yi gently stroked the soft, pure white cushion in his arms, his gaze appearing cold and immaculate unlike his usual demeanor, hinting at gloom.

"It's just regrettable that you didn't succeed."

"That man beside Chang Li took the feather away."

Ning Ze thought: "That Jin Chen, could he also be a phoenix?"

But he only got He Yi's sneer: "You think divine beasts are like you humans, numerous to the point of overflow."

"In the whole world, only Chang Li is a phoenix."

However, soon that phoenix will be him.

He Yi narrowed his slender crane eyes, able to feel that the demon elixir inside his dantian merges very well with him.

With this demon elixir, even the divine beast Chang Li couldn't hope to discover his monster identity.

He Yi: "I'll go test Jin Chen's identity, and by the way, meet the phoenix."
