Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 992: Chapter 992: Prehistoric Overlord (20)

The man squinted and considered, ”You have a way to deal with her?”

Yao Rao: ”I am willing to offer a plan to the King.”

”Good!”

Yao Rao’s smile deepened, and a viciousness lurked in her eyes. Don’t blame her for being ruthless, it was that Phoenix who made the first move.

”Then, my King, about my matter...”

”Don’t worry, it’s just finding a beast, a minor issue.”

”Thank you, my King.”

-

Chuzheng didn’t know Yao Rao had found a backer. She was still some distance away from Desperate Ridge.

Desperate Ridge was not the territory of just one beast; various fierce beasts gathered there.

However, they did have a leading fierce beast.

The fierce beasts of Desperate Ridge were known for highway robbery, much like Desolate Thieves from the Prehistoric Era.

To reach the Far End of the Prehistoric Era, one had to pass through Desperate Ridge; there’s no other way around.

”Tu Yan, hurry up,” Chuzheng urged from the front.

Tu Yan stopped under a tree, unwilling to go further, ”It’s getting dark, let’s rest here for today.”

Traveling in the dark in the prehistoric era was unwise.

Some beasts that roamed at night were cunning and tough, often moving in packs.

Chuzheng came back, carrying a high and cold expressionless demeanor, ”You keep stopping along the way, can you keep up?”

Tu Yan sat down against the tree, ”Little Phoenix, do you really want to go there?”

Chuzheng squatted down, reached out, and pinched his jaw, ”For whom do you think I’m going?”

Tu Yan was forced to meet Chuzheng’s gaze.

Her eyes were always ice-cold, without any warmth.

Even under the blazing sun, they emitted a hint of chill.

Yet those phoenix-like eyes were extraordinarily beautiful.

Tu Yan looked away, his eyelashes drooping, the gloomy light in his eyes hidden in the shadows, ”Little Phoenix, I’ve said before, you don’t need to worry about my stuff.”

On this journey, he was almost dragged along by her.

Tu Yan had thought about slipping away when she wasn’t paying attention, only to be sold out by other beasts shortly afterward.

Now people outside were saying that the Phoenix from the Prehistoric Era was a big fool.

They suspected she had robbed the Dragon Clan.

Such a large number of Dragon Crystals, only the Dragon Clan had them, so it wasn’t wrong for people to doubt.

”Little Phoenix, there’s no need for...”

Tu Yan’s body suddenly leaned back, his back against the tree trunk, and the girl in front leaned in and kissed him.

The words he wanted to say were swallowed back.

”Your matters are my matters, I won’t let anything happen to you. You need to trust me,” Chuzheng whispered in his ear.

Chuzheng kissed him on the cheek, moved back a bit, ”Wait here.”

Chuzheng stood up, then bent down again to pinch Tu Yan’s jaw in warning, ”Try to run, and I’ll break your legs.”

Tu Yan’s jaw was released, and the girl’s figure disappeared from view.

He raised his hand, using the back to wipe his chin, and after a moment, stretched out his tongue to lick the lips Chuzheng had kissed.

The sinking sun cast long, thin shadows of the man on the ground.

He sighed silently.

Tu Yan was long used to being stared at with hatred, bitter resentment, or even fear in the Prehistoric Era.

Suddenly, one day, someone appeared by his side who didn’t look at him like that, making him feel at a loss instead.

Chuzheng quickly returned, carrying tonight’s dinner.

Tu Yan reached out to take it.

Chuzheng slapped his hand away, ”How many times have I told you, don’t eat raw food.”

Tu Yan withdrew his hand, ”All beasts in the Prehistoric Era eat like this.”

Chuzheng glanced at him, ”Not you.”

Tu Yan: ”...”

Chuzheng watched as she built a fire, roasting the food, then dividing it before handing it to Tu Yan.

Which beast in the Prehistoric Era eats like this...

Tu Yan wasn’t accustomed to eating like this initially, but the taste was quite good, having a different kind of aroma, and after these days, he was slowly getting used to it.

As night fell.

A deep blue sky was filled with stars, Chuzheng lay beside the fire, hands behind her head, legs crossed.

”Tu Yan.”

”Hm?”

”Lie down.”

Tu Yan glanced at the spot beside her, hesitated for a moment, then finally lay down, maintaining a distance between them.

Chuzheng moved closer, but not overstepping, just enough for their arms to touch.

”What is your true form?” Chuzheng asked him.

He knew she was a Phoenix, but she didn’t know what he was, which was kind of unfair.

”...”

Tu Yan remained silent.

His hand was suddenly held, ”I’m asking you a question.”

The girl’s palm was soft, touching his hand gently, feeling delicate.

Tu Yan’s body stiffened slightly, ”Do you want to see?”

”Can I?”

Tu Yan pulled his hand back, stood up.

Chuzheng also sat up with him.

Tu Yan seemed a bit nervous, not making a move for quite a while.

Finally, he made up his mind, took a deep breath, and changed back to his original form.

With just a blink of an eye, Tu Yan disappeared, replaced by a giant beast.

The giant beast was entirely white, only the tail and claws having a faint black hue. The fur was long and silky, its body resembling an enlarged version of a cat, but with long fangs and fierce facial features, somewhat intimidating.

He seemed a bit out of place, unsure of what to do, his large form having a cute yet fierce vibe.

Chuzheng: ”...” Holy cow!

Chuzheng’s eyes were fixed, staring closely at the beast’s fur.

I can’t control myself!

Chuzheng leapt forward, but at that moment Tu Yan had transformed back, causing her to pounce into his arms.

Tu Yan caught her, ”Little Phoenix?”

Chuzheng: ”...”

Chuzheng looked up at him, ”Why change back?” I hadn’t even touched it yet!!

”Turn back.” Let me feel it.

Tu Yan wanted to refuse Chuzheng, but when their eyes met, he couldn’t be resolute. Hesitating for a few seconds, he transformed back again.

Chuzheng was still in his arms at this moment, sinking into the soft fur immediately.

It felt like suddenly falling into cotton, the delicate fur wrapping her in.

Wanted to roll around.

Chuzheng held back the urge to roll, just reaching out to touch.

”Little Phoenix, is that enough?”

”...” How do I keep my noble, cold demeanor and yet let the Good Person Card not transform back?

Chuzheng’s mind raced.

Yet... no solution.

Unless she acted coy.

A boss shouldn’t do such a thing.

No way!

It’s impossible in this lifetime!

Maintain face!

Chuzheng reluctantly let go of him, quickly moving aside, far from Tu Yan.

How can the Good Person Card be so soft?

Really want to keep touching.

Chuzheng scratched the grass on the ground, with little grumbles in her heart.

Tu Yan had reverted back, glanced at Chuzheng, she had suddenly rushed over, then acted like this, upon seeing his form... does she dislike it?

Tu Yan tightened his fingers.

Tu Yan didn’t speak either, sitting on the other side.

Leaning against the tree to rest, Tu Yan felt someone approaching, he knew who it was.

Tu Yan thought Chuzheng would just come and go, but this time she didn’t seem to leave for a long while.

Tu Yan had to open his eyes.

The girl stood in front of him, looking at him with a cool gaze.

”Little Phoenix?”

Chuzheng sat down, righteously said, ”Tu Yan, I’m a bit cold, transform and let me hug.”

Tu Yan: ”??”
