The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 1985 - 1984: Rebirth from the Ashes

After a rainbow-colored light disappeared, Long Fei and the other two appeared in a dense thicket.

Before them was a small altar, ten meters tall, built entirely of Spirit Stones.

Chang Xi and Wang Xiaoya hadn’t yet recovered from the teleportation; due to momentum, they almost fell but were caught by Long Fei from either side.

Nearby, someone laughed roguishly, "Damn, he managed to snag two Saintesses at this crucial moment!"

The two women blushed and quickly moved away from Long Fei.

Chu Feng and his group dismantled the altar and excitedly embraced Long Fei one by one.

"Boss, being a thief is so much easier, but you insist on being a hero. Now you’ve seen it, right? People don’t distinguish between good and bad. They believe whatever others say. You make painstaking plans for everyone, yet they see you as a thief."

Chu Feng handed Long Fei a drink while nagging him.

Chang Xi looked around, curiously asking, "Where are we?"

Bald Dog explained, "Halfway up the mountain, Boss had us build a teleportation altar here. It was initially for receiving those three hundred thousand cultivators’ deposits. Such a waste of our effort."

They spent half a day setting up this altar.

Long Fei took a sip of wine and took Little Nannan from Chang Xi’s arms.

Having taken a Spirit Nurturing Pill, she had fallen asleep.

The Jiang Family had used the Soul Refining Method, torturing her for three days and nights before stopping.

Her soul was fragile, like a candle in the wind, and could be extinguished at any moment.

Wang Xiaoya watched her, a sense of kinship welling up inside her, as if they were connected by blood.

Long Fei instructed her, "Little Ya, let me borrow some of your Essence Blood!"

Wang Xiaoya nodded, unhesitantly pricking her finger and extracting a bottle of Essence Blood into a porcelain vial.

The blood was scorching, imbued with phoenix energy.

Upon emerging, the surrounding temperature rose, and the vial emitted a red glow.

Long Fei raised his hand slowly dispersing the Essence Blood and injected it into Little Nannan’s body through her arm.

Wang Xiaoya raised an eyebrow and waited for Long Fei to finish before asking, "Is she of the Phoenix Bloodline?"

Long Fei nodded, "Yes, she’s a descendant of the Divine King Lin Family."

Chu Feng said, "The Divine King Lin Family, part of the Divine King’s Nine Clans."

The Phoenix Essence Blood entered Little Nannan, turning her skin instantly scorching red.

She sweated profusely, expelling black impurities.

Wang Xiaoya’s relatively pure Phoenix True Blood refined her internal Phoenix Essence Blood.

In no time, flames surged from her body, instantly reducing the surrounding vegetation to ashes.

The flame condensed, wrapping Little Nannan like an eggshell.

Everyone was surprised, except for Wang Xiaoya, who remained calm.

She had encountered this many times before.

"Is this the Phoenix Clan’s rebirth through fire?"

Chu Feng curiously raised an eyebrow.

Wang Xiaoya nodded, "This is the fire of the five viscera, also the True Fire. One of the Samadhi True Fire."

Bald Vulture was excited, "Can we Eagles absorb Phoenix True Blood? If not, can I have a bit?"

Long Fei chuckled, "Only if you’re not afraid of death. Apart from the Phoenix Bloodline’s flesh, this fire would turn you to ash at a touch."

Bald Vulture swallowed and laughed awkwardly, "Then never mind!"

Chang Xi looked at the team before her, unsure of what to say.

Bald Vulture, Da Heiniu, Bald Dog, and a potbellied Earth Rat, such an unlikely group.

She didn’t know that under the mountain were Kui Ox Demon King and Black Bear Demon, two spies infiltrating the Demon Clan.

Otherwise, her head would be even more scrambled.

As they spoke, a sudden commotion arose from Immortal King Mountain.

The sound of war horns blared, echoing across the land, the very thicket around them rustled with agitation.

"What’s happening, what’s happening?"

The timid Bald Vulture flailed its wings, nervously looking back.

Bald Dog gave it a disdainful look, ordering it to fly up and check.

After all, the yellow mist in the sky was harmless to it.

Among those present, only Long Fei, Chu Feng, Chang Xi, Wang Xiaoya, and Bald Vulture could withstand the yellow mist with their flesh.

Bald Vulture, due to consuming the flesh of Immortal King and Demon King, had preserved its body for millennia; it was like well-pickled salted meat, immune to any poison.

Bald Vulture reluctantly flew up, then quickly returned, shrieking, "It’s terrible, the whole mountain’s covered in demonic beasts, all heading down!"

"Do those creatures have an organization or something?"

"Who are they taking orders from?"

"Boss, how did you foresee this?"

"..."

Everyone looked at Long Fei in surprise.

Especially Wang Xiaoya and Chang Xi, who didn’t expect Long Fei to be right.

Once he left, did the demonic beasts really go down?

Long Fei took a sip of wine, expressing his melancholy, "Among the cultivators of the Human Race, there are Demon Race spies. They cooperate with the demon beast backers on the mountain and seize the opportunity to cause trouble when the human resistance is divided."

Chu Feng curiously asked, "What does demon beast backer mean? Are there strong Demons on this mountain?"

Long Fei nodded, "Yes, the bodies of the Demons are extraordinary; even a drop of blood can revive them. This mountain undeniably harbors powerful Demons, possibly ancient ones that have revived, controlling everything on the Immortal King Mountain. The previously dispatched demonic beasts were just a fraction. The real demon beast army hasn’t shown itself yet."

"Isn’t the Immortal King Star doomed then?"

Chang Xi couldn’t hide her concern, as she and Bald Vulture were the only ones from Immortal King Star, the rest were outsiders.

The fall of one’s country could only be fully felt by her.

Long Fei watched Little Nannan being tempered in the flames and said, "Without hardships, people don’t grasp the brutality of the Demon Calamity and continue to consume themselves in infighting. Plans are made by men, but heaven decides—this is a calamity no one can stop."

They looked at each other, sighing collectively.

Even Long Fei, after all his efforts, found himself powerless in the end, unable to unite everyone into a single force.

Even those who had personal interests aligned with him would not stand by him to the end.

This was fate, beyond human effort.

Long Fei once believed in man’s ability to overcome fate.

Yet now, seeing the invisible hands orchestrating all from behind, he felt a sliver of helplessness.

The sky grew darker, as sunlight gradually faded from the mountain.

The yellow mist above, no longer contained by Yang Yuan Force, became increasingly murky.

Weird cries echoed through the mountain.

In the thicket, rustling noises continually emerged.

Because of Little Nannan in the Phoenix True Flame, these creatures kept their distance, hesitant to make a move.

Long Fei and his party meditated for a while, then suddenly, the flame in the center spread outwards from its oval shape.

A little girl emerged from the flames, with wings of red flame on her back. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Unstained by worldly dust, she opened her eyes, shining brightly.

The flames instantly dissipated, retracting rapidly into her body.

She stared at Long Fei and the others for a moment, and when the red glow completely vanished from her body, she exclaimed in delight, "Daddy!"

She stepped forward and embraced Long Fei.
