The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard

The Demon Chief swallowed tens of thousands of Ocean Demons in one gulp, his eyes slanting toward the direction Chancellor Turtle had fled, muttering under his breath, "A Flowing-Light Turtle? What a pity, let that brat get away."

Behind him, a woman followed him out, giving him instructions, "Big Brother, you’ve been sealed for so many years, your body hasn’t recovered yet. Come with me to a place first, we’ll nurse your body back to health before anything else."

"But I want to go up to Heaven and have a look!"

A blaze of firelight surged off the Demon Chief’s body, his battle intent soaring.

The woman tried to persuade him, "Times are different now. The Heavenly Court today is no longer the Heavenly Court of back then. There are already Saints seated in the Heavenly Court; this is no longer a time when we can gallop about as we please."

"Saints?"

The Demon Chief flared up, "Those who steal the Heavenly Secrets, how are they fit to be called Saints? Our Witch Tribe and the Demon Clan ended in mutual destruction, all thanks to them."

The woman said, "What’s done is done, saying more is useless. We’d better go back, carefully make our plans, and must not act rashly."

The Demon Chief agreed with her and disappeared from the spot together with her.

After being frightened like that, the Dragon Mother had people seal off the area from the outside and no longer dared send anyone down to investigate.

She only wanted to wait for the Dragon King to come back and then talk.

Going back and forth like this, it left Little Kirin and the others some time.

After the five of them went down, they found where the spring was.

In for a penny, in for a pound, they opened up the earth veins from underground and simply diverted them toward Liangshan Island, drilling a hole right through the top of Liangshan Island.

The Laws of the Immortal Realm are complete, and the density of the underground rock is astonishingly enormous.

The five of them kept working together, and only by relying on the sharpness of the five Emperor Swords did they slowly carve out an underground water vein.

When day broke, they used Puppet Talismans to create substitutes, took their leave, and left without even seeing the Dragon Mother’s face.

The Dragon Mother couldn’t be bothered with them either; she had just spent a night in a sheer panic, afraid that headless demon would come out looking for her.

After a night passed and Chancellor Turtle saw that nothing had happened, he hurriedly sent people to investigate the wellhead.

His subordinates risked their lives to go over and found that there wasn’t a single person around the wellhead.

They didn’t know if the Demon King had gone down into the well or left.

Chancellor Turtle ordered them to continue sealing off the surroundings, then went to the main hall to report to the Dragon Mother.

The Dragon Mother, leading a group of Dragon Sons and Dragon Maidens, had already packed up their valuables and was ready to run.

Hearing this news, she finally let out a breath and immediately broke down in tears, "Who exactly did our Dragon Palace offend? Why would something like this suddenly happen out of nowhere?"

Chancellor Turtle comforted her, "Dragon Queen, things being as they are, there’s something I can’t keep from you anymore. I heard the Dragon King say that under this well, it seems that in the Ancient Era, a world-destroying Demon King was sealed here. That headless Demon King last night is probably him."

"What?"

The Dragon Mother shuddered all over, "You mean that Demon King has escaped?"

Chancellor Turtle nodded.

The Dragon Mother jumped up with a cry, "Th-then will he destroy our Dragon Palace?"

Chancellor Turtle said, "From the look of things now, he hasn’t done so. Most likely his body hasn’t recovered, and he doesn’t want to clash with the outside world. We must immediately report this to the Heavenly Court; maybe we can still save the Dragon King’s life."

"How so?"

The Dragon Mother’s eyes lit up at once.

Chancellor Turtle said, "Compared to the Demon King breaking through the seal, the Dragon King’s matter is naturally trivial. In order to deal with this Demon King, the Heavenly Court will of course release the Dragon King to come back and preside over the situation."

The Dragon Mother slapped her palms and cried repeatedly, "Good, good, that makes perfect sense. Send someone up to Heaven at once and tell our three Dragon Uncles about this, let them come up with a plan."

"Yes!"

Chancellor Turtle bowed and withdrew, and the Dragon Mother finally felt a bit relieved.

Only then did she think of Little Kirin and the others, and asked someone, "Have those guests from last night left?"

Her subordinate immediately reported, "They all took their leave this morning. Only the Yunmeng Marsh Dragon King and his son stayed behind."

The Dragon Mother exhaled a long, stuffy breath, "Good that they left, good that they left."

Once these two matters were dealt with, the pressure on her eased quite a bit all at once.

Her subordinate hesitated for a moment, but still reported, "Dragon Queen, there is something I don’t know whether I should say or not?"

The Dragon Mother raised her brows, "What is it?"

The subordinate reported, "After the Ninth Princess left last night, it was the Yunmeng Marsh Dragon King’s son, Ao Jie, who went to her palace to comfort her. He didn’t leave the whole night; he’s probably still in the Ninth Princess’s palace right now."

"Him?"

The Dragon Mother’s brows knitted tight, "That brat had a thing for my daughter from the start, never thought he’d be such a devoted one."

She thought for a bit, then instructed the subordinate, "You can’t spread this around. If any outsiders find out, be careful or I’ll tear your tongue out."

The subordinate agreed again and again and shut his mouth.

Just as the morning sun rose, on a desolate island near the East Sea shore, a man and a woman descended there.

More than a thousand Ocean Demons on the island immediately scrambled up, raising their blades and shouting, "Who are you lot? How dare you trespass into the Spiritual Ore Mine of the East Sea Dragon Palace?"

The man, dressed in a green robe, said calmly, "This mine has already been reassigned by the East Sea Dragon Palace to Liangshan Island. You all can clear out."

"What?"

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

"You’ve got to be joking, right?"

"Is there something wrong with your head?"

"..."

The group of Little Demons looked at each other, not believing a word.

Even though this mine didn’t produce much Spiritual Ore, it was still a property of the East Sea Dragon Palace.

Would the mighty East Sea Dragon Palace hand over this place for nothing?

They raised their blades in threat, "You two better get lost, and if you keep making trouble, watch out that our blades don’t have eyes."

The man shook his head, "Noisy."

He flicked his sleeve, and a great gale suddenly rose out of nowhere, sweeping all these Little Demons up and flinging them away, each one pelting down into the sea like raindrops.

They were scared out of their wits, bobbing in the sea and cursing at the man and woman, "You two villains, just you wait!"

The group quickly rallied and headed back toward the East Sea Dragon Palace to report.

The island instantly became much quieter.

The man led the woman around for a circuit; to Cultivators, this island wasn’t very big.

But its area was comparable to an island country in the mortal world; it just had no water source and was nothing but a barren rock island.

The man and woman were none other than Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya.

Wang Xiaoya asked curiously, "What are you doing wandering around here for no reason?"

"This island will be ours from now on."

Long Fei smiled faintly.

"Huh?"

Wang Xiaoya’s head throbbed, "A place this desolate? What do you want it for?"

There was nothing on this island at all; desolate was desolate, it didn’t even have a beach. The ground had no soil, just masses of black rock.

Long Fei chuckled, "It’s desolate now, but in the future this will be the wealthiest, most bustling place in the East Sea."

"I don’t believe it!"

Wang Xiaoya looked around, "Although this place is at the mouth of the sea, there’s no fresh water. Ordinary people don’t come, let alone Cultivators."

Long Fei said, "There wasn’t any before, but there will be."

He mysteriously pulled Wang Xiaoya to a mining pit, the place where the East Sea Little Demons usually mined ore.

A perfectly fine piece of ground had been hollowed into a deep pit over ten thousand meters across and a thousand meters deep.

Long Fei raised his hand and pointed at a spot at the bottom of the pit.

A world-shattering force condensed into a beam of light and blasted straight down into the center of the pit.

The barren island rumbled, first driving the surrounding seawater to recede, then kicking up a frenzy of gales and towering waves around it.

Wang Xiaoya didn’t know what Long Fei was up to, and just quietly watched the show from the side.

After Long Fei withdrew his hand, an opening over ten meters wide appeared at the center of the mining pit.

From below the opening came a series of muffled rumbles, as if something was about to come out from inside.

Wang Xiaoya asked Long Fei in surprise, "Did you just dig a well here?"
