Chapter 982: Chapter 982: Prehistoric Overlord (10)
The weather in the Prehistoric Era is unpredictable.
One day it’s scorching hot, and the next it might be freezing cold.
However, beasts have thick skin and flesh, so such temperature fluctuations don’t significantly affect them.
But it seems Tu Yan’s resistance has weakened; as the night cools down, he curls up entirely.
Chuzheng sits nearby, watching Tu Yan, and only when frost begins to form around them does she get up to wrap him in her embrace, covering him with her feathers.
Phoenixes are naturally attuned to fire and their bodies are warm.
Tu Yan gradually relaxes.
–
In the latter half of the night, a thin layer of ice forms all around.
Tu Yan wakes up in warmth, looks up, and sees the Phoenix’s beautiful feathers; she has enveloped him with her wings, and his whole body is lying on her.
“Awake?”
Tu Yan raises his eyes, and at so point, the Phoenix has opened her eyes, staring intently at him.
Her phoenix eyes are clear, and in the faint light, they outline his features.
He’s sowhat disheveled…
“Where is this place?” Tu Yan doesn’t move, nor does Chuzheng.
“I don’t know.”
“…”
An awkward silence engulfs the air.
Tun Xiang is sleeping nearby, suddenly kicking and punching in his dreams without warning.
Chuzheng and Tu Yan glance over simultaneously.
Tun Xiang, careless and carefree, quickly calms down, smacking his lips and continues sleeping peacefully.
Tu Yan’s voice rises, its usual somber tone now laced with so defense: “Where do you intend to take ?”
“Panlong Cliff.”
Panlong Cliff…
Tu Yan’s eyelashes lower, casting a fine, uneven shadow across his face, conveniently hiding the emotions in his eyes.
“Why take there?”
“To feed the dragon,” Chuzheng casually replies.
Tu Yan: “…”
After a mont, Tu Yan says, “There are no dragons at Panlong Cliff.”
Chuzheng: “…” Why na it Panlong Cliff if there are no dragons!
Chuzheng calmly presses him down with her wing: “Too much talking, sleep.”
Tu Yan feels uneasy: “Let go.”
“Are you sure?”
“Sure.”
Chuzheng turns over, and Tu Yan slides off her, the cold air imdiately surrounding him, making him shiver.
This feeling… is terrible.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
Tu Yan coughs softly.
The next second, he’s embraced in warmth once more, the cold dispelled.
“Little Phoenix.”
Tu Yan calls her with an indiscernible tone.
“What?”
“Do you know who I am?”
My Good Person Card.
“Tu Yan.”
“Since you know, you should stay away from and not ddle in my affairs.” In the Prehistoric Era, he is an anomaly, a public enemy; everyone wants to kill him, eager to eliminate him.
A Phoenix’s birth marks it as a Divine Beast; once grown, it will beco a noble entity in the Prehistoric Era, different from him.
“What if I don’t?” Who do you think you are, why should I listen to you!
The night wind rustles through the treetops, making a soft rustling sound.
Ice shards fall, landing on Tu Yan’s face, carrying a moist chill.
“Little Phoenix, what do you want from ?”
“You.”
Rustle, rustle…
The wind grows stronger.
Tu Yan frowns, his eyes reflecting the swaying leaves above, adorned with glistening frost.
A hint of gloom flashes in Tu Yan’s eyes, but he says nothing, rely finding a comfortable position and closing his eyes.
It’s so cold outside, why should he force himself to endure it?
–
The next day.
It was as cold as winter last night, yet today the blazing sun hangs high in the sky.
Surprisingly, Tu Yan hasn’t fainted; he’s awake, though looking worse for wear, his appearance still remains stunningly attractive.
With a casual posture, wherever he sits, the surroundings seem to lose their color.
Yet, an air of gloom lingers around him, sowhat terrifying, even making Tun Xiang wary of approaching him.
“Little Phoenix, why are you missing a feather?”
The feathers of a Phoenix are few, so when Tu Yan wakes, he notices one of her feathers is gone.
Chuzheng uses her wing to touch her head.
“Probably because I gave you a change…”
Chuzheng flaps a wing, causing Tun Xiang to roll aside.
“No idea when it fell off.” Chuzheng dismissively says and turns her head aggressively: “What’s it to you about my feathers, why ask so much?”
Tu Yan: “…” How could a Phoenix’s feather fall off?
Tu Yan glances at Tun Xiang, not asking further.
However, when Chuzheng leaves, Tu Yan gestures for Tun Xiang to co over.
Tun Xiang shivers, “W-What do you want?”
He doesn’t want to go over.
This is the ruthless Great Demon Head!
Tu Yan holds a twig between his fingertips, tapping it on the ground: “Where did her feather go?”
Tun Xiang: “The queen said it’s none of your business, and she forbade from telling you.”
“Is it related to ?”
Tun Xiang: “…”
I didn’t say anything.
Tu Yan lifts the twig, flicking it, causing Tun Xiang to roll to the side.
Tu Yan looks aningfully in the direction Chuzheng went.
Little Phoenix…
A Divine Beast.
–
Why go to Panlong Cliff, Tu Yan doesn’t ask further.
But he seems to need to go there too, so he doesn’t oppose.
Tu Yan hasn’t fainted again, and his condition seems to be improving day by day.
Chuzheng suspects whether Hong Jiu is deceiving her.
However, Chuzheng once saw Tu Yan cough up blood directly, so she estimated that Hong Jiu wasn’t lying.
Chuzheng walks over, and Tu Yan imdiately turns around, hiding the bloodstains behind him, coldly addressing her: “Little Phoenix.”
Sunlight falls from overhead, painting a faint golden hue around him.
The black clothes contrast with his pale complexion, exuding a slightly sickly beauty.
Chuzheng pushes him aside, exposing the bloodstains behind.
Seeing he’s been found out, Tu Yan no longer hides it, coughing softly against his lips.
“Does it hurt?”
“I’ve gotten used to it.” Tu Yan’s lips curl into a cruel smile, that expression, inexplicably unsettling to the core.
“Who cursed you?”
Tu Yan is slightly taken aback, perhaps not expecting Chuzheng to know so much.
His face suddenly darkens: “This has nothing to do with you.”
He brushes past Chuzheng to leave.
A Divine Beast, why ddle in his ssy affairs?
She should…
Suddenly, Tu Yan doesn’t know what to do, but he feels she shouldn’t be getting involved with soone like him.
Chuzheng follows him expressionlessly: “Why did you capture Yuan Ning? Was he the one who cursed you, or can he break the curse on you?”
“Why did you capture Yuan Ning?” Tu Yan retorts instead of answering.
And even had to compete with him…
At that ti, she clearly wanted to kill him.
“The Phoenix Stone and Phoenix Essence Blood are with him, those are my belongings.” Chuzheng answers frankly: “Your turn.”
“Curiosity isn’t good for you, Little Phoenix.” Tu Yan is clearly angry.
Chuzheng can tell from his deanor.
He strides away, unwilling to pay any more attention to Chuzheng.
Chuzheng: “…”
Is it wrong to care about you?
Am I caring for others anyway?!
If you weren’t a Good Person Card, would I even bother with you!
You still have the nerve to be angry!
Might as well finish you off!
Chuzheng kicks a dead branch on the ground in anger.
Tu Yan hears it but does not stop.
