Chapter 1464: Little Jin Dragon and the Guardian Phoenix 17

On the other side.

After being seriously injured by Jin Long's attack last night, He Yi came back and has been vomiting blood; to maintain his Monster Power, he casually caught a human……to eat.

The living room floor was covered in fresh blood.

Blood stained He Yi's lips; he had finally recovered some Monster Power, but his arm scorched by dragon fire could not be healed, the flesh burnt black, which really clashed with his normally icy, fairy-like appearance.

He Yi felt resentment growing, yet there was nothing he could do.

Even when dealing with the Phoenix, he only dared to act with the help of a monster pill, and only when his inner demons were flourishing.

Not to mention the dragon, whose defense is the hardest under heaven!

This way, when will he ever be able to kill the Phoenix!

Ning Ze could only pretend not to see the blood and corpses in the living room; he was overjoyed to receive a call from Secretary Wei Te, who said they could reconsider working together alone.

Ning Ze normally never has such good luck! Today it's just……

Ning Ze glanced again at the corpse that died with eyes unclosed; it was only because He Yi had seized that person's luck and given it to him that such an opportunity arose.

Just adding the luck of an ordinary person could bring about such a good thing; Ning Ze couldn't help but wonder, if they really could kill Chang Li, the luck of a divine beast might bring him some tremendous fortune!

Ning Ze's initial fear of the corpse had faded, even giving him a faint sense of superiority over ordinary people; he admired He Yi even more and obeyed his every word.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

The person and monster in the living room were both startled; Ning Ze jumped up directly, saying, "Someone's here! What do we do?"

He Yi glanced at the corpse on the floor, narrowed his eyes, and swept his sleeve to suppress the thick bloody smell that was about to disperse. "You go open the door; whoever it is, tell them to scram."

"Okay, okay……"

Ning Ze mustered his courage and stepped forward to open the door, only to be stunned.

What a handsome youth, even more eerily beautiful than He Yi.

Que Ling waved at him, "Hey there, I'm looking for He Yi."

He Yi heard the voice outside, raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Peacock monster, what do you want from me?"

As Ning Ze slowly walked in, Que Ling smiled and said, "To be frank, I'm here to cooperate with you."

"Hmph," He Yi snorted coldly, not believing his lies, then stared at Ning Ze, "Is he that good‑looking? You're staring straight at him."

Hearing the sour tone in He Yi's voice, Que Ling's eyes shifted, he glanced at Ning Ze in realization, then quickly looked away.

He Yi actually likes a human.

I'll tell Jin Chen the good news later.

Que Ling glanced again at the corpse on the floor, his brows slightly furrowed, then pretended nothing was wrong as he looked at He Yi and said, "I know you don't believe me, but……if you let me in, you should still be able to hear me say a word,"

"Yes, the day I first came to the workshop I took a liking to Jin Chen, thinking he was some powerful monster, but…it turned out he's actually a dragon."

He Yi then opened his eyes to look at him, slowly wiping the blood from his lips; his usually icy visage gained a hint of allure.

"How did you find out?"

"It was Jin Long who threatened me!" Que Ling said sadly, making his words utterly believable, "He didn't want to create karma himself, so he tried to force me to kill you; if I refused……he would find a stronger monster to kill me!"

For divine beasts like Jin Long and the Phoenix, it's indeed better to create less karma; He Yi was half‑believing, half‑doubting, "Then why did you come to me again? Aren't you afraid Jin Long will retaliate?"

"After fighting you, I feel……rather than being threatened by Jin Long, who isn't really a monster, it's better to side with my own kind and not constantly worry about dying."

Que Ling seemed to be showing loyalty, opening his palm to produce a treasure, "Look! This is what Jin Long forcibly shoved into me, intending to bribe me; it's said to be a fine magical artifact that aids all monsters in cultivation."

"I'm giving this to you."

Anyway, he already has a more powerful peacock feather!

As soon as the magical artifact appeared, He Yi felt it contained seemingly endless Monster Power, and he was instantly astonished!

If he could possess such a magical artifact, today's wounds would surely be completely healed, and he'd become even stronger than before!

It seems Que Ling really came with sincerity.

He Yi immediately curled his lips into a smile, "Great, since you've given me the magical artifact, from now on we are allies."

"If I ever kill the Phoenix, I'll also get a share from you!"

Que Ling smirked as he handed over the magical artifact to He Yi, appearing utterly loyal.

"Since we're already allies, let me also tell you another piece of news."

Que Ling sat beside He Yi, took out his phone to show him the chat page with Jin Chen.

"The Phoenix's condition is off; Jin Long asked the Monster Mountain Elder for help, saying a monster will come down the mountain to deliver Dragon‑Phoenix Companion Jade, which is a great thing that has absorbed plenty of heavenly and earthly Spiritual Power."

Ning Ze, who had been silent for a while, couldn't help but wonder, "What is Dragon‑Phoenix Companion Jade?"

He Yi remained silent for a moment, then suddenly showed the happiest smile after coming down the mountain: "Heaven helps me too."

There are two pieces of Dragon‑Phoenix Companion Jade; according to the Monster Mountain's tradition, they were born together with the dragon‑phoenix egg when it descended into this world, nurtured by heavenly and earthly Spiritual Power, making them the substance richest in spirit energy in this world.

He Yi narrowed his eyes coldly and mused, "I never imagined that Jin Chen was actually the human form of that dragon egg that appeared at the same time as the Phoenix."

"Right, right……" Que Ling nodded, then suddenly realized something was off.

Could it be that He Yi also came from Monster Mountain?

If so, why don't he and Jin Chen recognize each other? The legendary Myriad Monster Mountain shouldn't be so vast that they've never met.

Que Ling decided to test him.

He rubbed his palm, silently chanting the peacock‑feather cultivation, not wanting to betray the trust of Boss Jin and his employer.

"My sincerity you've already seen; by the way, I want to know what divine ability you used when we fought that day—where does it come from? You have such tremendous power, it makes me feel ashamed."

He Yi snorted coldly, "Those stupid elders on Monster Mountain—didn't they just kill a few little monster spirits cultivating, and then lock me up for nearly two hundred years?"

"All these years, they didn't know I was cultivating demonic arts in the tower where I was imprisoned, and even obtained the top‑grade ten‑thousand‑year divine beast monster pill."

"So that's how it is……" Que Ling suddenly understood, estimating that when Boss Jin took human form, He Yi was still locked up.

Ning Ze listened to their exchange; the topic was beyond his comprehension, and he immediately felt a bit panicked.

He Yi already has a monster ally; if he decides I'm useless and casts me aside at any time, what will become of my luck thereafter?

Ning Ze's heart slowly gave rise to a thought, and he decided to go all out.

Meanwhile, He Yi and Que Ling also worked out a plan.

Keep hiding near Jin Chen; once I use the monster pill to fully absorb this magic artifact's power, go kill the phoenix to provoke his heart devil.

He Yi spoke icily, lightly touching his burned arm, "When the time comes, I will take the phoenix's life and the dragon-phoenix conjoined jade—both are mine."

"Fine, we'll do that," Que Ling concealed a smile and added, "When the opportunity arises, I will contact you."

He Yi's target was actually to provoke the boss into spawning a heart devil; for the divine beast, that is nothing short of a devastating blow.

This wicked monster is utterly shameless.

I'll turn around and inform the boss and Jin Dalao of this, and also ask for a new magic artifact.
