Chapter 1485: Little Brocade Dragon and the Guardian Phoenix 38

The new Heavenly Dao is very strict, but it cannot withstand the personal command of the Lingduan System.

Jin Chen used Spiritual Power to awaken the Phoenix; when it underwent rebirth again, the descending heavenly thunder punishment was like an ordinary thunderstorm, and even the sound wasn't that loud.

The sunlight was bright; in the instant the dark clouds dispersed, the pure white divine feathers seemed to glow with their own light, shimmering. The Phoenix's rebirth through nirvana erased all previous wounds.

On Demon Mountain, cheers rose everywhere, and even little demons wailed loudly, crying that this battle had been truly arduous.

The Phoenix's acceptance of the new inheritance power came seven days after its nirvana.

During these seven days, Demon Mountain regained its former tranquility; the few little demons eaten by He Yi were given a posthumous salvation by Madame Huang Xian.

As for the corpses of He Yi and Ning Ze, Leopard Grandfather threw them into the darkest place of Demon Mountain, where neither humans nor demons could ever be reborn.

And Jin Chen stayed by the Phoenix's side, never leaving.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

When Chang Li awoke, all the memories from the tribulation surged like a tide, and he instinctively touched his heart.

The Heart-Protecting Dragon Scale was gone.

It felt a bit empty, as if his bond with Jin Chen had weakened a little.

Before he could dwell on the sorrow, someone nearby pounced on him, saying, 'The Phoenix has finally awakened.'

Jin Chen's voice was low and muffled; Chang Li wanted to look at him, but the hand covering his eyes had no intention of moving.

Chang Li could only raise his hand and tentatively touch Jin Chen's face, saying, 'I want to see you…'

"No."

In that posture, Jin Chen kissed Chang Li several times, saying, 'It's my fault for being careless, giving Heavenly Dao an opening.'

"It's not your fault." Chang Li rubbed Jin Chen's palm and nestled into the embrace that made him feel utterly safe.

He still remembered…

When he was gravely injured by Heavenly Dao, his consciousness fading to the brink of death, it was also Jin Chen who carried him to a safe place, after which he suffered no further harm.

"The Phoenix's nirvana is inherently dangerous…" Chang Li hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly paused, his tone becoming urgent: 'Did you clash with Heavenly Dao? Are you injured?'

Chang Li urgently pushed Jin Chen's hand away and locked eyes with his earnest gaze.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Jin Chen reached out to gently stroke Chang Li's forehead, then leaned in to hold him tight, saying, 'Heavenly Dao has already been changed; from now on it will never bully the Phoenix again.'

Chang Li:???

"Can Heavenly Dao really be said to be changed just like that…"

Chang Li was so shocked he forgot to ask about anything else.

Jin Chen was about to explain when Ling Gun Gun's demonic sound entered his mind.

{Host, speak and act with caution! }

{…} How am I supposed to speak then!

Jin Chen thought for a moment: 'Like this, like that, and it's been replaced.'

Chang Li: "…"

"Phoenix, don't ask further; I can't say." Jin Chen gently caressed his companion in his arms, then added, 'Anyway, as long as the Phoenix is safe and sound from now on, that's enough.'

Anyone who dares to harm the Phoenix will be killed!

Seeing the sincerity in Jin Chen's eyes, Chang Li lightly curled his lips, cupped his face, and kissed him at the lips, saying, 'Thank you for your hard work.'

Even if perhaps for some reason he couldn't speak, Chang Li knew that dealing with Heavenly Dao wasn't simple, and even if Jin Chen was mysterious in some aspects, he must have suffered quite a bit.

Jin Chen held him and said, 'Yeah, it's super hard, so the Phoenix should treat me well.'

'And Duoduo should keep me company while I sleep!'

Chang Li fell silent for a moment, then said, 'You only want to say that last sentence, don't you?'

As expected, you're just a lustful dragon!

Jin Chen would never admit it.

He simply held him tighter, his voice barely concealing fatigue: 'Phoenix, stay with me while I sleep.'

'Okay.'

Chang Li's heart was full of tenderness; his long fingers gently stroked Jin Chen's hair, and seeing him asleep, he too closed his eyes and curled into the embrace.

Everything has ended, his dragon still by his side—how wonderful.

{Villain Heartthrob Value +5, total 100! }

{Villain Blackening Value -25, total 0! }

A few days after emerging from the seclusion cave.

Jin Chen obviously shed the coldness and listlessness of the past few days, regaining vigorous vitality; the little demons, seeing him like that, knew Senior Chang Li had surely awakened, and they clapped their hands and went to inform the elders.

Again came a round of various pleasantries that Jin Chen disliked.

After that, the two decided to return to the mortal world.

But since the day they went up the mountain to prepare for the Phoenix's tribulation, two years have already passed.

To demons it was merely a flick of a finger, but to humans it felt lengthy.

Around half a year later, the studio staff already speculated that the boss might have gone abroad to marry his little sweetheart.

After more than a year, the chief designer appointed by Chang Li had already led the studio to greater heights, and the staff's speculation began to shift, since no one had heard of a marriage taking a year, and the little sweetheart didn't need to prepare for pregnancy.

They collectively thought Que Ling might know something, but whoever gave the answer was very vague.

"We've been to a world just for the two of us."

But this time is way too long!

Now, approaching two years, the staff who had long gone without seeing handsome men to feast their eyes on felt they had lost all enthusiasm for work!

Boss, do you even remember you have a studio? Surely you didn't go off somewhere to strike it rich and start a company, did you!

Thus, when they received the work group's message 'Boss invites us to eat,' the staff could only feel it was unbelievable.

Instantly the group chat turned into 99+.

However, what they didn't know was that this time, Chang Li invited them to dinner, planning to completely hand over the studio to the lead designer to be in charge.

To him, over the long years, every profession and hobby was merely an experience; now that he has someone he cares more about, he can no longer focus on his work.

Moreover, the money he has saved is enough for him to support Jin Chen.

However, Jin Chen feels that since the heavenly tribulation passed, his wife's temperament has become much more laid-back.

This speculation was quickly verified another day.
