The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 2144 - 2143: A World Within the Cave Heavens
Inside the cave, due to the effect of the sinking wood, the cold energy was overwhelming, and the deeper you went, the more oppressive it became.
Long Zhu’er initially relied on her cultivation level to resist the cold energy.
A radiance of azure light emanated from her body, consuming Essence, Qi, and Spirit continuously.
But the further inside she went, the thicker the cold energy became.
A layer of cold wrapped around her, seeping through her scales, causing her bloodline to stagnate slightly.
She let out a light hum, "Could it be that I will meet my end here?"
At that moment, a beam of azure light enveloped her, shielding her from the cold outside.
She was startled, swiftly transforming into a human form and raised her longsword.
Looking back, it wasn’t Ao Cheng, but a somewhat unfamiliar man standing behind her.
Above her head was the Dragon King’s Inner Pill.
With the protection of this inner pill, her body instantly warmed considerably.
She stared at Long Fei, full of surprise, "Who are you? How come this inner pill is in your possession?"
A moment ago, Ao Hong had snatched this inner pill away, and now it suddenly appeared here, causing her to doubt Long Fei’s origins.
Long Fei held Ao Hong’s arm, smiled calmly at her, and said, "Don’t worry, I’m not a bad person. I took Ao Hong’s arm and retrieved your inner pill."
He waved the newly acquired storage ring at Long Zhu’er, grabbing Ao Hong’s scaly arm, and bit into it like a chicken leg, gnawing and eating it.
Long Zhu’er shivered all over, thinking of what kind of monster this was, that could gnaw on Ao Cheng’s arm.
It was known that the flesh of the Ancient Dragon Clan was renowned for its strength among the Ocean Clan; an arm could crush a small mountain.
And he was just eating it bite by bite?
Long Fei raised the arm in his hand, blood dripping from his mouth, and gestured at Long Zhu’er, "Want to try a bite? Though it’s raw, it tastes quite good."
He spat out a golden scale of Ao Cheng’s, seemingly quite satisfied with his meal.
"You keep it for yourself!"
Long Zhu’er shivered, shook her head, and turned to head further inside.
Long Fei followed behind her, smiling, "I helped you, and you don’t even say thank you?"
"You acted on your own, I didn’t ask you for help!"
Long Zhu’er gave him a disdainful look, clearly not appreciating his assistance.
Long Fei raised his eyebrows, reached out, and easily took the Dragon King’s Inner Pill from above Long Zhu’er’s head.
Long Zhu’er attempted to control it with spiritual power but was forcefully separated from it.
A wave of coldness hit her, causing her to shiver, and she quickly called out to Long Fei, "What are you doing?"
Long Fei replied calmly, "Didn’t you say I was acting on my own accord? I’ve changed my mind and decided not to help you."
Long Zhu’er shouted angrily, "Hey, are you even a man! It was just a word, is there a need to be so petty?"
She reached out and tried to snatch the inner pill from Long Fei’s hand.
Long Fei teased her, tangling with her as they walked, only returning the pill to her when she was completely enveloped in cold.
She took it back, her lips trembling from the cold, saying, "You scoundrel, who are you really?"
Long Fei looked at her, amused, "You really don’t remember me?"
Long Zhu’er examined him carefully but indeed had no impression of him.
Long Fei thought to remind her, "The Green Lake at the Xiangshui Source, the handsome guy who slapped to death a Three-Headed Evil Jiao? Any impressions?"
Long Zhu’er was shocked, staring at him incredulously.
Long Fei, proud as ever, said, "What’s up, stunned by my charm?"
Long Zhu’er, somewhat dumbfounded, said, "How could it be you, back then you were only at the Nascent Soul Realm, how is this possible?"
She was skeptical; how could a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm have grown to this level in just a few years?
Long Fei teasingly replied, "Don’t be so surprised, I’ve improved just a bit, but mainly it’s because you’re too lacking. After all these years, you’re still at the mid Unity Realm Stage with no progress. It’s no wonder you were bullied by that Evil Dragon earlier; have you been sleeping in the Green Lake all these years?"
Long Zhu’er was already upset, and Long Fei hit the sore spot.
She ground her teeth in anger, shouting in frustration, "Do you want to be beaten?"
Just now, after exchanging a dozen moves with Long Fei, she knew she couldn’t defeat him.
Still not reconciled, she reached out with a dragon grip towards his arm.
Long Fei let her grab him, pulling back his arm.
Long Zhu’er staggered, falling into his embrace, and he wrapped an arm around her waist.
She knew this guy was deliberately taking advantage, her face flushed, struggling and shouting, "Pervert, shameless, let go of me."
Long Fei chuckled slyly, "What a strange thing, you came over yourself. I didn’t call you a pervert, why are you scolding me first."
He not only didn’t release her but held her even tighter.
Long Zhu’er was really angry; since childhood, she had never been taken advantage of like this.
She burst with azure light, unleashing the Azure Dragon Strangling Force, intending to shake free from Long Fei.
At such a close distance, even a small mountain would be flattened by this force.
To everyone’s surprise, Long Fei simultaneously erupted with a similar azure light, with the same aura to counteract hers.
With a boom, the surrounding seawater scattered away from them.
The immense impact created a vacuum zone around them.
Long Zhu’er was shocked, staring at Long Fei in disbelief, "Azure Dragon’s strength? How do you have the Azure Dragon Bloodline?"
Long Fei shrugged, thick-skinned, "Surprised, aren’t you? I am originally of the Azure Dragon Clan, just grew up on land. Now we’re the only two left in the Azure Dragon Clan, we must take on the duty of preserving the bloodline!"
While speaking, he cheekily patted Long Zhu’er’s waist.
Long Zhu’er was exasperated, never meeting anyone so shameless.
However, the Azure Dragon Bloodline in Long Fei was genuine, which made her feel a sense of kinship.
Long Fei was right; the Azure Dragon Bloodline was extinct.
She originally thought she was the only one left, and that kind of loneliness felt despairing.
No one expected that here, she’d encounter a fellow clan member.
The two bickered as they moved through the gloomy cavern; in Long Zhu’er’s embrace, without using the Dragon Pill’s power, she didn’t feel any coldness.
A bright light dazzled them both, causing them to squint their eyes.
As they finally saw the scene before them, they were both momentarily stunned, realizing there was a hidden world within this cave.
Before them lay a vast wilderness, devoid of seawater.
At the center of the wilderness stood a grand kilometer-high volcano.
The heat emitted from the volcano provided warmth for this domain, making it quite temperate compared to the cold ocean waters outside.
A bronze bell floated above the volcano’s mouth, seeming to have traversed from ancient times, emanating primordial aura, shrouded in a dim yellow glow, exuding profound Dao charm.
