I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 258 - 145: Immense Luck Heavenly (Subscription Request)_4
"Sleep."
Then he saw the bracelet on his wrist, the dragon’s mouth opened and closed a few times and then there was no sound.
Chen Yi chuckled softly, whispering, "Eat well, sleep well, grow up quickly."
He still wanted to use the Dragon Taming Saddle and become a "Dragon Knight" one day!
...
Xiao Xuanzhen and Fairy Hua found a stream and set up a simple array, taking Spiritual Origin Pills to recover their True Yuan.
After a while.
Xiao Xuanzhen finished his cultivation and stood up, scanning a five hundred li radius. Still not sensing Chen Yi’s aura, he couldn’t help muttering under his breath:
"I wonder if the bad guys have caught the Little Green Dragon."
Hearing this, Fairy Hua also let out a long breath, her fiery and wooden True Yuan slowly retracting into her body, opening her eyes with a smile:
"Divine Beasts have a will, if it doesn’t want to be caught, even a martial artist of Grandmaster level can’t catch it."
Xiao Xuanzhen knew in his heart that this was true.
"But since the Little Green Dragon has appeared, doesn’t that mean we have a connection with it, right?"
Fairy Hua nodded, her beautiful face blooming with a smile: "That’s correct."
"It must be because Brother Chen previously slew the Tree Demon, which caught its attention."
"It couldn’t be him," Xiao Xuanzhen snorted, "Perhaps it felt your presence or mine here."
"The bad man’s Sword Intent is fierce and slaughterous, only capable of scaring the dragon away."
Fairy Hua laughed without responding, but looked at her and asked, "Senior Sister, may I ask you a question?"
Xiao Xuanzhen nodded: "Of course."
Fairy Hua’s face took on a calm and serene expression, but her tone was extremely serious:
"Why do you always call Brother Chen a ’bad person’?"
"Is it because during the sect’s assessment that one time, Brother Chen defeated you?"
Xiao Xuanzhen was stunned, bowing her head and hummed: "A bad person is a bad person, it has nothing to do with that assessment."
In fact, ever since she learned that Chen Yi became the Earthly List First, she never thought about that assessment again.
Although it was the moment when she first met Chen Yi, what impressed her the most was his Sword Dao talent.
Entering the sect, Chen Yi’s Sword Dao had reached the Great Achievement Realm.
Not two years later, he left the mountain for traveling, and climbed to the top of the Earthly List First.
In the years that followed, even though he did not leave the sect, Xiao Xuanzhen knew his strength was still growing.
Indeed, half a year ago, Chen Yi’s Sword Dao broke through the Great Achievement Realm, reaching the Sword-Heart Enlightenment Realm.
Even her father, Sect Master Xiao Huang of the Grand Void Sect, praised the "Little Sword Immortal" for his outstanding talent.
Adding to that was Lin Xueru, the disciple sister she had been close with for the longest time, who often mentioned Chen Yi...
Gradually, Xiao Xuanzhen started harboring thoughts of Chen Yi in her heart.
Although she was reluctant to admit it, indeed, during her cultivation breaks, she would think of Chen Yi.
However, her mood was not particularly good while thinking about him.
Most of the time, she thought about how to defeat Chen Yi, imagining how she would mock him after defeating him.
Less frequently, she would think of Lin Xueru’s engagement to Chen Yi — those were her worst moments.
Xiao Xuanzhen didn’t know how to describe it, only feeling as if a heavy stone pressed on her chest when she thought of this matter.
It was suffocating, oppressing, and felt somewhat sour.
Fairy Hua observed her expression, smiling and nodding, "Maybe Senior Sister should change the way you address him."
"Why should I change it?" Xiao Xuanzhen’s expression was slightly unnatural.
Fairy Hua spoke earnestly, "Because Brother Chen is not a bad person."
"Do you know what Sister Xue Ru told me when she left Qianmo Cliff?"
Xiao Xuanzhen was puzzled and looked at her, "Sister Xue Ru told you?"
"Yes."
Fairy Hua nodded, recalling what Lin Xueru had said; a gentle smile appeared on her beautiful face, but her cheeks also flushed a bit.
"She told me that when she and Brother Chen were very young, they went out to play on the Lantern Festival."
"But that time, they were kidnapped right off the streets, and the person who kidnapped them was none other than the Evil Demon, ’Mad Old Man’ Feng Shan."
Xiao Xuanzhen widened her eyes: "Is it him?"
She had heard this name, and recalled that Chen Yi had slain that Evil Demon in Jiangnan Prefecture, only to have him come back to life somehow.
"Um, at that time, Sister Xue Ru was knocked unconscious. When she woke up, she saw Chen Yi fighting with two ruffians."
Hua Xianzi’s tone carried a bit of regret, inwardly lamenting that it would have been better if she had been abducted along with Chen Yi.
"Sister Xue Ru said that after that incident, she decided that once she became powerful, she would definitely protect Brother Chen."
Xiao Xuanzhen suddenly understood, thinking no wonder Xue Ru held Chen Yi in such high regard, always talking about him.
However, understanding as she might, Xiao Xuanzhen felt an inexplicable sourness in her heart.
Hua Xianzi continued: "So, when we left Qianmo Cliff, she asked me to take good care of Brother Chen outside."
"..."
Xiao Xuanzhen opened her mouth, feeling a heavy weight pressing on her chest.
Amidst the sourness, another thought arose—she and Sister Xue Ru were familiar with each other after all!
Why didn’t Xue Ru ask her, instead choosing to tell Hua Xianzi?
Was she worried that she wouldn’t take good care of... Chen Yi?
Hua Xianzi didn’t know what she was thinking, but despite the blush on her face, she continued to gaze directly at Xiao Xuanzhen and said:
"Sister Xiao, Brother Chen is a good person, right?"
Xiao Xuanzhen silently nodded, firmly resolving: "I’ll listen to Sister and stop calling him a bad person."
"Really?"
Just then, Chen Yi appeared in front of the two women, smiling warmly at Xiao Xuanzhen.
"It’s rare for Sister to be so understanding, Brother is impressed."
Xiao Xuanzhen stared at him, her face turning red and then flushing even redder, steaming like a cooked shrimp.
She suddenly jumped up and lunged at Chen Yi, shouting: "Bad person! Why did you have to come back at this moment!"
She accused, "Tell me, were you deliberately waiting to see me embarrassed?!"
After dodging, Chen Yi flashed onto a tree branch, looking down at her with a playful smile:
"Sister, didn’t you just promise? Have you forgotten already?"
"You, you are a bad person!!"
Xiao Xuanzhen’s chest heaved rapidly, both embarrassed and angry, stomping and ranting at him.
Chen Yi, taking her words as compliments, wasn’t annoyed but instead provocatively urged her to continue.
After the commotion, Xiao Xuanzhen finally remembered about Little Green Dragon and asked: "Bad person, where is the dragon?"
Chen Yi patted his chest, smiling, "Right here."
Xiao Xuanzhen looked at him bewilderedly, "You, you ate it?"
"..."
Chen Yi shook his head, adopting a worried look, "Some people really should grow their meat in useful places."
He glanced at Xiao Xuanzhen’s chest.
Xiao Xuanzhen’s eyebrows shot up, particularly noticing his gaze, and immediately crossed her arms.
"Bad person, clarify your words!"
"Not telling you~"
Hua Xianzi, unable to help but smile at their bickering, thought to herself that all she had said earlier was for naught.
Well, let them be...
...
As Chen Yi and the two women continued to slay Great Demons inside the Demon Hall, in the Book Storage Tower of the secret realm.
Xie Dongan, Jiang Ye, and the tomboy Princess, all frowned as they looked outside.
Jiang Ye asked, "An, is that the son of Duke Wuan, the Absolute Blade Inheritor from Wuliang Mountain, Chen Yuan?"
Xie Dongan nodded, "It’s him."
The tomboy Princess looked at the two of them and again towards the outside—where the dark blue Sword Intent and thick black demon energy clashed.
She couldn’t help asking:
"Chen Yuan is fighting those demons, should we save him?"
