Chapter 1481: Little Jin Dragon and the Guardian Phoenix 34

He Yi still hadn't forgotten to steal the Dragon-Phoenix Conjugate Jade while the Phoenix's condition wasn't good.

But every time he got near the Dragon Cave, Jin Chen would immediately spot him, then give him a beating and throw him out.

After several times like this, He Yi almost suspected that Jin Chen was waiting for him every day!

However, after the previous experiences, he had learned quite a few lessons, at least not acting rashly as before.

He Yi came up with a plan he thought was problem-free.

Thus early that morning, Jin Chen heard that demons were causing trouble in the Yao Mountain Peach Garden, and even declared he wanted to fight the strongest demon.

In the eyes of the younger generation of demons, the strongest was naturally the big shot Jin who had beaten every demon; a few little demons came bustling and took Jin Chen away.

Fortunately, Chang Li's condition had improved considerably these days, so he no longer worried that his dragon would encounter danger outside, and still let Jin Chen go out to play.

This was exactly the good opportunity for He Yi to act.

In the afternoon, Chang Li was still meditating on the jade bed, a soft, warm, faint glow twining around him, exuding a divine aura.

He Yi sneaked up to outside the Dragon Cave, and after just a few steps inside he sensed the barrier.

"Hmph, this thing also wants to trap me?"

He Yi snorted softly; having fully refined the newly obtained monster elixir, his strength had greatly increased, even granting him half-dragon power, so facing a barrier meant to ward off ordinary demons, he naturally didn't take it seriously.

He easily broke the barrier, turning into a light mass that shot into the Dragon Cave.

This wasn't He Yi's first time entering the Dragon Cave, but today there was no annoying dragon present.

He Yi turned back to human form behind the glazed stone screen, furtively peeked out his eyes to look at the meditating Chang Li, and smiled, raising his eyebrows.

Good, today I will surely have this Phoenix killed completely by the power of the Heavenly Dao!

His hand hanging at his side curled into claws, a pitch-black mist mass appearing out of nowhere, filled with endless killing intent and yin poison.

He saw that if he acted, there was a chance of success, but then Chang Li suddenly opened his eyes, his dark-gold pupils gazing coldly over here.

Unlike his previous indifferent coldness, He Yi saw in that gaze something like an endless abyss, teeming with hostility.

When the inner demon died, that portion of power transformed into Chang Li's dantian power, producing a killing intent that was impossible to evade, even purer than his former gentleness.

Only a few days ago, it was merely because Jin Chen was present that Chang Li didn't show it.

He Yi was nearly driven to scream by that gaze, a soul-deep fear of the King of Birds, clutching his palm tight to keep from crying out.

"Go die!"

The black mist mass imbued with Heavenly Dao power attacked Chang Li.

Boom!

The black mist mass hadn't even neared Chang Li before being devoured by dragon fire, vanishing instantly.

At the same time, He Yi was kicked in the rear, sent sprawling face-first, his already distorted face hitting the ground, feeling both pain and dizziness.

"What crane demon, you little tough guy, huh?" Jin Chen kicked again in fury, "If you don't beat him to death, he's got infinite vitality!"

Might as well just kill him! Can't even relax while out playing!

【Host, stay calm—if you die now, wouldn't all our efforts go to waste?】

Chang Li lowered his eyes to look at the half-dead He Yi on the ground, then lifted his gaze toward the approaching Jin Chen, and his cold, hostile aura softened into gentleness.

"How did you come back already?"

"The barrier fluctuated; I was worried something might happen to the Phoenix."

Jin Chen embraced his Phoenix, full of floral scent, saying, "Phoenix, smell how fragrant I am."

This was the first time in countless small worlds that he didn't reject the divine floral scent—truly a high-level small world!

"Not fragrant."

Chang Li frowned and pushed away the shoulder Jin Chen had thrust forward, saying, "Don't smell that."

It was almost masking Jin Chen's own scent, and it was not good at all.

"Mm… okay." Jin Chen lifted his sleeve and gave it a sniff; it was a bit strong, "Then I'll go wash up clean before coming back to keep the Phoenix company."

Jin Chen picked up the He Yi knocked out by dragon fire, dragged him out like trash, and with a swish tossed him into the thorny thicket, jolting He Yi awake from the stab.

"Can't you have a bit of professional dedication?" Jin Chen said, "The Phoenix's heavenly tribulation hasn't even started yet—what's the rush?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." He Yi was shocked inside but still didn't admit it, then after a moment's silence said, "The Heavenly Dao says you're not the original Jin Dragon."

Wow, he even talked back to the Heavenly Dao—the protagonist is damn awesome!

Jin Chen said calmly, "I'm its grandfather."

He Yi: "……"

The Heavenly Dao, ever-watching the world, then unleashed a few thunderclaps.

Jin Chen showed no fear, provokingly hurling several bursts of dragon fire into the sky.

You still aren't happy to go up? This is to raise your seniority!

He Yi fully understood the strangeness of this person of unknown origin, and had no desire to fight Jin Chen again, moreover……

The Heavenly Dao is the supreme rule over all things in this world; he just didn't believe that, even with the Heavenly Dao's aid, he still couldn't kill the Phoenix!

He Yi gritted his teeth and left, not noticing Jin Chen's probing gaze landing on his back.

How strange.

Whether it was previously carrying out a counterattack mission or searching for his wife's soul fragments in a rescue mission, after experiencing so many small worlds, the Heavenly Dao had never favored the protagonist like this.

Was it that this person's background was problematic, or did the Heavenly Dao intend to use He Yi's hands to do something?

Jin Chen pinched his pollen-stained fingers, then lifted his gaze to stare straight at the clouds above.

The Heavenly Dao again timidly withdrew its power, daring not to spy on Jin Chen any further.

Jin Chen stared for a few seconds, then boredly withdrew his gaze, turned, and went to bathe to keep his wife company.
