The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 1303: So That’s How It Is

The Ghost Emperor City was shrouded in a gray haze, much like the Phoenix Nest, a self-contained mystical world.

There wasn’t a trace of Spiritual Energy here. The ground was red, and the air was filled with a sense of decay and ruin.

Yet, despite the lack of Spiritual Energy, the vegetation inside grew abundantly.

Long Fei and his companions entered the outskirts of the city walls.

The walls seemed to have been built by giants.

Towering over a thousand meters high, each brick was taller than a person.

The surface was covered with cracks and marks from blades and axes. One massive stone was smashed inward by one to two meters, a testament to the ferocity of the battles fought here long ago.

The city walls stretched endlessly, with no main gate in sight.

Long Fei and the group ascended into the air. Without Spiritual Energy for support, spiritual power practitioners were at a disadvantage here.

Fortunately, everyone had plenty of pills with them. After climbing a hundred meters up the wall, they consumed some pills upon reaching the top.

Because generations of cultivators had scavenged this place, hardly anything of significance was left behind.

Standing atop the wall, the view was obscured by dense mist, making it impossible to discern what lay below.

Chu Feng and his two companions bid farewell to Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya, saying, "Brother Long, time is short. Let’s split up. If anything happens, we’ll contact each other through the Transmission Jade."

Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya nodded, clasped fists with them, and said their goodbyes.

Everyone leaped down from the wall and ventured into the mist, each heading in a different direction.

Sword lights occasionally flashed in the sky above, but the heavy aura of malevolence blocked spiritual power beyond a hundred meters, rendering it ineffective for reconnaissance.

Wang Xiaoya held Long Fei’s hand, strolling leisurely through the city.

The two of them didn’t seem like they were searching for opportunities—they looked more like tourists.

Wang Xiaoya laughed and asked, "Do you think Yingying outside would get jealous of us? It’s been so long, and you haven’t gone out to see her."

Long Fei chuckled. "Her mind is full of the kids right now. There’s the Little Kirin outside, and one in her womb. She doesn’t have any time to think about me."

Wang Xiaoya bit her lip and said, "Then make some time to let me have a baby too. That way, I won’t have to keep worrying about you."

Long Fei smiled, lightly tapping her head, and said, "Once we’re done here, I’ll have a proper talk with your mother. Let’s hold a wedding in this world first and another in the outside world later. After that, you and Yingying will be the two most important people in my life forever—no one can separate us."

"I hope everything goes as planned!"

Wang Xiaoya blushed deeply, clinging to Long Fei’s arm, too distracted to watch where she was going. Her head bumped into something in front of them with a thud.

She winced and stopped immediately. Long Fei reached out to protect her and with a flick of his hand, dispersed the surrounding mist.

A colossal skeleton came into view, its full structure revealed. It stood over a hundred meters tall, and if upright, it might have reached the height of the city walls.

This thing had a humanoid shape.

It had four limbs and was hunched over, resting like a mountain of bones in front of them.

Touching her head, Wang Xiaoya exclaimed in shock, "Oh my god, is this a giant?"

"It looks like one," Long Fei replied, examining the skeleton and scanning the surroundings.

Due to the passage of time, the bones had petrified.

Plants nourished by the body had sprawled all over, with green vines and leaves covering the skeleton.

Wang Xiaoya curiously asked, "Does this mean that giants joined the ancient war too?"

"Maybe."

Long Fei pulled Wang Xiaoya up onto the skeleton. They climbed to the spine, inspecting it with great interest.

He tore off the vines and carefully studied the intricate patterns on the spinal bones.

These patterns appeared natural, yet they followed an orderly structure, resembling the inscriptions on talismans.

The vines on the skeleton were tough, so Long Fei summoned the Red Flame Gourd, releasing a bit of Phoenix True Flame to burn them away.

With a hissing sound, the flames roared fiercely, clinging to the vines and spreading over ten meters, quickly reducing them to ash.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, there was a sky-breaking sound as something whipped through the air.

Long Fei raised his hand and formed a Void Seal.

Whatever it was struck against the protective barrier with a loud thud, numbing Long Fei’s palm.

Wang Xiaoya, startled, immediately summoned her Vermilion Bird Feather Sword. Looking closely, she realized that the whipping object was a vine.

Long Fei shouted, "Audacious!"

He handed the Red Flame Gourd to Wang Xiaoya for protection and formed a massive handprint with one hand. Before the vine could strike again, he seized it with the handprint.

With a crack, the handprint gripped the vine tightly.

The vine struggled violently, trying to break free from the phantom handprint.

Meanwhile, hundreds of vines swarmed out, twisting and darting like dragons, pouncing toward Long Fei.

"Courting death!"

Above Long Fei’s head, the Azure Dragon Dharma Laksana rose, exuding immense power. The massive handprint unleashed a surge of might.

The vine, taut as a bowstring, yanked the ground violently, uprooting a towering tree over a hundred meters tall. Long Fei swung the vine, spinning the giant tree through the air.

He released his grip, sending the tree crashing into the city wall behind.

The enormous impact produced a thunderous crash.

Yet, the city wall showed no signs of damage. The bricks and stones held firm, not even scattering debris.

The ground within a kilometer trembled violently, causing the surrounding vegetation to scatter. Amid the chaos, faint whispers could be heard shouting, "This guy’s terrifying—run!"

The giant tree, dazed from the blow, wobbled back to its roots. It climbed onto the city wall using its branches like arms, rolled over, and scampered away into the distance.

Wang Xiaoya stood there, dumbfounded, never expecting even the plants here to have gained sentience.

Long Fei returned to her side, inspecting the hole left in the ground by the tree. His brow furrowed, and he said, "In the ancient battle, the top masters perished. Their flesh and blood nourished this land, turning its plants into sentient beings and monsters."

Wang Xiaoya exclaimed, "Then doesn’t that mean the vegetation here is all dangerous?"

"Perhaps there are other dangers as well."

Long Fei retrieved the Witch God Flag from his Storage Ring and, with a flick of his spiritual power, unleashed Witch Gods to devour the pervasive malevolent aura around them.

The abundant Blood Qi of this world made it the perfect place to refine the Witch God Flag. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Like an archaeologist, he studied the patterns on the skeleton one by one, examining all fifty-plus meters of the spinal column from top to bottom.

Wang Xiaoya, bored, swung her legs idly while taking selfies with her cellphone.

"Do these bones have anything special about them?" she asked curiously.

"It’s hard to say for now."

In his Divine Sea, Long Fei recorded the spinal bone patterns but couldn’t decipher their meaning yet.

He had seen similar patterns on other members of the Demon Clan.

Though seemingly natural, the patterns seemed to hide profound significance.

If deciphered, they could bring immense benefits to physical cultivation.

In the True Dragon Nine Transformations of his ancestors, there was a step called Bone Transformation.

It was mentioned that one must replace their bones with those of a dragon, though the specifics were not explained.

Long Fei had once assumed it involved smashing True Dragon bones and embedding them into a person, or perhaps consuming dragon bone soup to transform one’s own bones.

Now, he realized this was impractical. If true Bone Transformation were possible, it might be connected to the patterns on this giant’s spinal bones.

After all, even a simple piece of paper could unleash tremendous power if inscribed with spiritual talismans.

If special patterns were etched into bones, could the bones undergo a similar transformation?

Long Fei contemplated this quietly, summoning the Black Iron Staff and striking at a nearby rib of the skeleton.

The Azure Dragon above his head spiraled upward as immense power surged through the Black Iron Staff and into the bone.

With a loud crack, the rib snapped in two, shattered cleanly by the impact.

Wang Xiaoya covered her face, thinking Long Fei must have lost his mind.

Instead of seeking opportunities, he appeared to be getting into pointless battles with a pile of bones.

Standing on the skeleton, she struck a pose, preparing to take a good photo.

Just then, the structure beneath her feet shook. Long Fei, wielding the Black Iron Staff, had struck the spinal bone with immense force.

Wang Xiaoya stumbled, leaping back into the air to avoid falling off.

The spinal bone emitted waves of Mysterious Light.

The same immense force that broke the rib only left a crack on the spinal bone without shattering it.

Observing the light radiating from the spinal bone, Long Fei’s expression relaxed. He suddenly grabbed Wang Xiaoya in a joyful embrace, shouting, "I understand now! So that’s it! That’s it!"
