Chapter 1470: Little Jin Dragon and Guardian Phoenix 23

The bedroom was very quiet.

Jin Chen stared intently at the person before him, doubt nearly spilling from his eyes.

Ling Gun Gun was also bewildered—not the original plot's Chang Li, not a second personality or soul, yet possessing a fragment of the Main God's soul!

This is simply beyond imagination!

Moreover, it seems the Main God merely knows this soul exists, which is why he suddenly distanced himself from the Host.

Jin Chen obviously thought of that as well.

"I don't believe you're Chang Li unless you can prove it."

"I don't like proving myself; if you don't believe me, you can get lost."

Jin Chen: "Okay."

He turned and walked away.

Anyway, I can't think of any other solution for now! I can't beat him up—after all, that's his wife's body!

Heart Devil: "……"

Won't you hold on a bit longer!

The heart devil, speechless at the constantly struggling Chang Li, said: "This dragon is really boring; if not, I might as well just kill him."

"If you dare to lay a hand on Jin Chen, I'll self-destruct, and you won't live either."

Heart Devil:???

"You're crazy!"

"Which of us is truly the evil-thought heart devil!"

This is really not fun at all.

"Then I'll just date him in your place; that's way more fun than surviving the heavenly tribulation." The heart devil gleefully came up with another good idea.

"Jin Chen would never like you." Chang Li still didn't let go of the chance to vie for the body.

"I am you; he will like me." The heart devil was very certain.

"If that doesn't work, I'll drive him away so you never see him again in your lifetime."

Chang Li: "……"

Shameless!

【Villain Blackening Value +20, total 55!】

In the secondary bedroom, Jin Chen scratched his head, then burrowed into the blankets to sleep.

——

Before dawn the next day.

Jin Chen furtively opened the bedroom door; as he pushed it, he thought a moment, then conjured a soft rope and hid it behind his back.

The room was dark; the person on the bed seemed still asleep, only the breath rising and falling gently.

Jin Chen walked to the bedside, slightly bent over to observe.

【This way…there probably won't be anything noticeable.】 Ling Gun Gun held a doubtful attitude.

Jin Chen thought it made sense.

He extended another finger to poke the soft, squishy cheek, then crouched down and leaned against the bed's edge.

Dark-gold pupils snapped open, shedding a faint, lustrous glow in the gloom.

Jin Chen startled, tightened the soft rope without a trace, and tentatively called out: "Phoenix?"

Consciousness gathered; Chang Li instinctively grunted, having struggled with the heart devil for control of the body all night, and upon waking felt utterly exhausted.

Jin Chen instantly tossed the soft rope aside.

"What happened to you last night? Who is that person?"

Jin Chen, too upset to stay angry, asked anxiously and worriedly.

"He…"

Chang Li licked his dry lips, knowing concealment was futile, and simply said: "It's fine, just the heart devil."

"For this period…don't stay here."

"The soul is unstable; Chang Li truly fears the heart devil might do something harmful to Jin Chen."

"It's actually the heart devil."

Jin Chen frowned, hadn't yet had time to think it through, then heard Chang Li's somewhat indifferent words, and that anger welled up again in his chest.

"You're like this; where else can I go?"

Jin Chen, heedless, jumped onto the bed and shouted loudly, "Just pretend I left; I don't exist."

Chang Li: "……"

But his presence is really strong!

Chang Li dodged Jin Chen's reaching hand, afraid that after being affectionate he'd still be unable to make a firm decision.

"Then you stay here; I'll live elsewhere these few days."

Fearing Jin Chen might catch up, Chang Li also cast a daoist sorcery to immobilize him on the bed for half an hour.

Jin Chen, furious, rolled around on the bed, watching helplessly as his wife left.

It's not that he couldn't break free.

Chang Li insisted on separating; if he forcibly forbade it, things might become even worse.

We need to think of another way……

Jin Chen hugged his wife's pillow, closed his eyes, and pondered.

——

I still hadn't thought of a solution when the office's business trip arrived.

This itinerary had been arranged long ago; we needed to go to the client's city for negotiations, and it happened to be by the sea, so Changli simply had the assistant book a seaside hotel.

Changli also brought three probationary employees and an assistant this time; plus him and Jin Chen, that makes six people.

Originally the plan was to evaluate the new employees' abilities, and after the business trip, to accompany Jin Chen and stay there for a few more days of fun.

But… the plan simply couldn't keep up with the changes.

There is only one human among the new employees, and now isn't a good time for Changli and Jin Chen to go out traveling.

Changli took advantage of work hours to leave, but who would have thought that upon opening the car door he saw Jin Chen sitting beside him with a cold face, 'The phoenix still wants to sneak away.'

The driver looked back in shock, 'Just now only the boss came in!'

Jin Chen gave a cold glance over; the driver quickly sat up straight and raised the partition, 'I hear nothing, I ask nothing, just keep safe!'

Jin Chen, confident and righteous, said to Changli, 'I've put the luggage in the car trunk, phoenix, don't even think of shaking me off.'

Changli sighed, and could only follow the original plan and bring Jin Chen along.

After getting off the plane, undercurrents surged within the team.

This undercurrent still burst forth when they arrived at the hotel.

Changli's assistant had booked one suite and four business rooms; it's obvious the suite was prepared for Changli and Jin Chen.

Even when the hotel front desk gave out the room cards, the atmosphere once turned stiff.

Changli hesitated for a long time before taking the card, feeling uncertain.

Jin Chen was the first to break the silence: 'Give us another business room.'

'Sure, sir.' The hotel front desk dutifully checked for vacant rooms on the same floor as the other business rooms.

Jin Chen took the suite's room card and handed it to Changli, 'You don't have to stay with me; it's yours.'

The four employees behind them had varied expressions.

Que Ling and He Yi exchanged glances; He Yi asked with his eyes, and Que Ling shook his head frantically.

I don't even know what's going on!

He Yi again gave Que Ling a glance toward Jin Chen.

Then you ask.

If those two had an argument, that would practically be heavenly assistance for him!

Que Ling plucked up courage, slowly stepped to Jin Chen's side, voice very soft, 'Boss Jin, did you and the boss have a fight?'

Jin Chen gave a muffled 'uh'.

Hiss…

Que Ling glanced back again and asked him if he could tell He Yi about this.

Jin Chen had no reaction, tacitly acknowledging it.

So Que Ling moved back over and nodded at He Yi.

Little did they know, their interaction landed precisely in Changli's sight.

For a divine beast, there is no sound that cannot be heard clearly.

Changli gripped the room card tightly; the hostility in his heart surged again, and after a few seconds he suddenly reacted, fiercely closing his eyes and pressing down.

Xu Liang stared blankly at the few people.

How come I feel like the whole world is keeping secrets from me! What exactly are you all exchanging glances about?

The assistant silently pulled out his phone and opened the '【Phoenix Feather All-Staff No-Boss Group】'.

Of course, Jin Chen isn't in that group either.

Gold-inlaid Ace Assistant: Report — boss and little lovely husband suspected of arguing and breaking up! Actually they're sleeping in separate rooms, what a romantic seaside place! Actually they're sleeping in separate rooms! They're not even on the same floor!

Beautiful-but-heartless Front Desk: So… the boss is going to become heartless again? No!

Tragic Designer Number One: Drawing design drafts every day is already annoying; why must even the joy of shipping CP be taken away! (Hit the wall)

Gossip Guru Designer Number Two: @Gold-inlaid Ace Assistant, investigate again and report again! We must find out what happened!

Resentful Designer Number Three: I wonder if it's related to the new employee; He Yi keeps running to the boss's office, and Que Ling is always hanging out with the little lovely husband...

The assistant who saw this message took a deep breath of cool air, his complex gaze directed at He Yi and Que Ling.

Turns out they both had their relationships sabotaged!
