The Beautiful CEO’s Dragon Blood Bodyguard
Chapter 997: Phoenix True Flame

Chapter 997: Chapter 997: Phoenix True Flame

Lin Shanshan was startled; she clearly saw the man reaching out toward her, but she didn’t feel anything on her body.

When she looked down, the man’s hand had actually appeared in front of her.

Such eerie circumstances nearly scared Lin Shanshan to death.

The engineering guy withdrew his hand and mumbled to himself, "Multidimensional space, could this be multidimensional space?"

He frowned as he looked at Lin Shanshan and headed straight for her.

Lin Shanshan shouted in frustration, "What are you doing?"

Before she could finish, the man passed right through her.

The group of engineering guys around her gasped in astonishment, their eyes wide as if they were watching a magic show.

But this was no magic show; it was really happening right before their eyes, with no lighting, sets, or props involved.

Long Fei chuckled and waved his fingers, removing the Space Law that trapped around Lin Shanshan.

Lin Shanshan regained her freedom and, seeing the engineering guy heading for her again with his head down, kicked him and sent him flying.

Everyone burst into laughter, thinking that this guy must be addicted to taking advantage.

But being kicked by a campus belle still felt pretty awesome.

The doctor who researched spatial science stared at Long Fei excitedly and said, "Sect Hierarch, what on earth is going on?"

The others also looked at Long Fei curiously.

Long Fei replied nonchalantly, "It’s nothing, I just twisted the space around this lady a bit. When you tried to touch her, the Spatial Fluctuation was in play, and it was no longer the space you occupy."

"Twist space?"

"Heavens, how is that even possible?"

"Lifting his hand to twist space, isn’t that what an Immortal does?"

The group was completely convinced and looked at Long Fei as if he were an Immortal.

Nangong Bei and Gongsun Tai were also stunned for a moment, wondering how Long Fei’s cultivation had reached the point where he could twist space?

Long Fei didn’t explain to them that it was the power of bloodlines, not the power of the Laws.

One would need to be at least in the Earth Immortal Realm to cultivate such Laws.

His current cultivation level was far from the Earth Immortal Realm; he was simply reliant on the awakening of the Demon Race bloodline.

Through just a couple of experiments, these sophisticated homebodies were utterly captivated by Long Fei.

No one mentioned leaving anymore, and they were clamoring to bring over all their colleagues and mentors.

Long Fei promised them with a smile, offering ample funding for their activities and encouraging them to recruit as many people as possible.

He was not short on money, he needed talent.

Having taken care of the matter, he instructed his subordinates to show everyone to the newly-built male disciples’ accommodation area for rest.

It was a community-like area with little courtyards, and each disciple was allocated a small yard of their own.

Long Fei was not as stingy as other Sects, which made disciples suffer in caves.

Everyone was a modern-day cultivator, and it only made sense to have a touch of modernity.

First, they needed to be well-fed and well-housed, casting aside old and useless cultivation concepts.

Lin Shanshan followed him, fuming and hitting him repeatedly, complaining loudly, "Just you wait, I’ll tell my sister when I get back and have her take care of you. What kind of brother-in-law are you, letting a stranger touch me like that?"

Long Fei consoled her with a laugh, "Just a little scientific experiment, no big deal, right? Besides, you did hit him, didn’t you?"

Lin Shanshan retorted with pique, "What do you mean no big deal? I’m still a maiden! You embarrassed me in front of everyone; how am I ever going to get married now?"

Long Fei spread his hands, "What’s done is done; I can’t turn back time! At worst, I’ll just compensate you."

The corners of Lin Shanshan’s eyes curved as she said, "That’s more like it."

Long Fei asked, "So, what do you want? Magical Treasures or Cultivation Techniques? Luxury cars or mansions?"

Lin Shanshan shook her head, uninterested, "What do I need those for? I’m not lacking anything."

Long Fei was puzzled, "Then what do you want?"

Lin Shanshan hummed at him, "Since you let someone touch me, I should get to touch you; then we’re even. Hold me while we sleep tonight, and I might just forgive you!"

"Ah?"

Long Fei spat out blood, hurriedly shaking his head, "No way, no way, what does it mean for a brother-in-law to sleep hugging his sister-in-law? Pick another one."

"Are you going back on your word?"

Lin Shanshan grabbed him and stubbornly squatted on the ground, refusing to budge.

"Get up."

Long Fei glanced around, with disciples continuously coming and going—what were they supposed to make of this hand-in-hand squatting scene?

Lin Shanshan shouted, "I won’t get up. It was clearly you who told me to make a request. Now I’ve made one, and you won’t honor it, let’s have the disciples come over and judge."

"Fine, fine, we’ll talk about it when we get home."

Long Fei wanted to get her back to the courtyard first.

Her eyes, slightly curved, teased him, "You’ve agreed?"

"Agreed, agreed!"

Long Fei lied to her.

She jumped up joyfully, hugging him and not letting go, hehe laughing, "That’s more like it."

Fearing that Long Fei would escape, she held onto him all the way home.

Once the two returned to the courtyard, Lin Shanshan dashed into the bathroom and quickly bathed herself until she was fragrant and fresh.

She came out wrapped in a bath towel, covering just her upper body and thighs.

Her fair neck and slender legs were exposed, her skin delicate and elastic, exuding an aura of innocent allure. Honestly, it was quite sexy to behold.

But when Long Fei saw her, he strangely felt nothing—as if he was looking at his own sister.

Lin Shanshan’s face flushed, she coyly pouted at him, "Aren’t you coming to the bedroom to sleep?"

Long Fei said, "Come here, let’s chat first."

Lin Shanshan moved over, disinterestedly asking, "Chat about what?"

Long Fei patted her shoulder and stood up with a smile, "Let’s discuss whether you can break this Water Elemental Force Barrier."

"Ah?"

Lin Shanshan realized she’d been tricked and hurriedly reached out to grab him.

But as soon as her hand touched the air in front of her, she was immediately repelled by a force.

A transparent barrier around her rippled, completely encasing her.

Lin Shanshan shouted in anger, "Brother-in-law, you’re cheating."

Long Fei replied cheerfully, "I’m just making a living with my skills, how is that cheating! I’ll be waiting for you in the bedroom, if you can break this seal, I’ll let you hug me to sleep."

He stretched lazily and returned to the bedroom, leaving a frustrated Lin Shanshan behind, who kicked at the Water Elemental Force Barrier with her small feet.

The seal was of Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, and there was no way Lin Shanshan could break it.

She touched it with her hand, her Divine Sea stirring as she tried to decipher the seal’s enchantment.

The Water Elemental Force Barrier kept fluctuating, shining bright at the spot where it made contact with her palm, but there was no response.

Lin Shanshan, in a panic, resorted to forcefully calling out her Phoenix Dharma Laksana with her Essential Qi.

Her little mouth muttered, "Fire overcomes water, I don’t believe my Phoenix True Flame can’t burn through this darn water."

Her Dharma Laksana was different from that of Wang Xiaoya and Lin Yingying, displaying a kaleidoscope of colors.

This creature, known as the Purple Phoenix, was one of the five phoenixes, also called the Rainbow Plumed Bird.

Upon the release of the Phoenix fire, it met with the Water Elemental Force Barrier.

The two Yuan Forces entwined, and with a loud bang, the surrounding sofa, coffee table, and the precious sandalwood furniture were instantly pulverized to sawdust.

Lin Shanshan, with wide eyes, sat in place, stunned and unable to recover for a long while.

Even she hadn’t expected the power of the Phoenix True Flame to be this immense.

Long Fei, hearing the commotion, came out from the room and, seeing the splintered furniture all over, was also shocked still by Lin Shanshan.

He hadn’t expected that this seemingly unteachable sister-in-law would be the first among Lin Yingying, Wang Xiaoya, and herself to learn to wield the Phoenix True Flame.
