Fei Qi

Chapter 281 Following One's Heart

The owner of the golden eyes displayed a particularly evident smile upon hearing these three words.

A snake suddenly let out a laugh, appearing somewhat chilling.

But no matter how chilling it was, it couldn't compare to the strangeness and heresy outside.

Duan Chen's mood was good.

He didn't reveal any abnormalities.

Duan Chen spoke softly.

"If Lord Jin were not Xuanwu, what kind of background would you have? Is it something I can know?"

However, Jin An was not eager to answer this question.

He spoke indifferently, but was actually trying to conceal the answer to the question.

"This is not very important information. It's just that I do have a trace of divine beast bloodline, little one. You haven't told me yet, what exactly are you doing here?"

Jin An's pressure gradually closed in on Duan Chen, who stood in place.

At this moment, his pupils flashed with a threatening light.

A hissing sound came from his throat.

"Could it be that you, like those before, want to take my life or seize the treasures here?"

His eyes twinkled with a very rich golden light, as if the next second, as long as Duan Chen said yes or he felt Duan Chen was not sincere, he would immediately kill him here.

Duan Chen certainly couldn't say that.

He immediately raised his head, looked directly into Jin An's eyes, and spoke with all his acting skills.

"If I say no, it would seem hypocritical. I did come to investigate because I sensed treasures here, but I don't necessarily intend to rob them."

"If I can get it, it's my luck. If I can't get it, there's no need to force it."

His attitude and behavior appeared very open.

Even his expression was exceptionally sincere.

Duan Chen suddenly asked back, "Don't you think so, Lord Jin?"

"Treasures, of course, belong to the capable."

"I believe I am not a saint, and even if I were, I would surely have things I desire. Otherwise, if humans had no desires, they would not exist in this world."

"I want bigger, better, and stronger treasures. I think this is not a problem. I want to protect my companions, which is also not a problem. And I see you guarding this place, so I intend to retreat and ask for your leniency, which is even more so not a problem, isn't it?"

Faced with this barrage of words, Jin An suddenly laughed.

His laughter sounded as if the very earth were shaking.

His tone even sounded somewhat pleased.

"You are truly a glib human!"

Although he said this, Duan Chen let out a quiet sigh of relief in his heart.

If this golden snake was not satisfied with his answer, he would not have responded like this.

Instead, he would have attacked directly.

Since Jin An was still willing to respond, it meant that even if he wasn't entirely satisfied with his answer, it was acceptable.

He had barely passed this hurdle.

Duan Chen smiled slightly.

"How can this be called being glib? It's just being true to myself."

"True to yourself?"

Jin An was somewhat curious.

"What does that mean?"

Uh...

In a moment of carelessness, he had used internet slang.

Duan Chen immediately felt a little awkward.

But he still tried his best to explain.

"Perhaps Lord Jin, you could look at these two characters stacked one above the other."

"True to myself..."

Jin An pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, doesn't this just mean you're a coward?"

Duan Chen touched his nose. He didn't get angry when he was exposed.

Instead, he asked with some curiosity.

"Let's just say I'm a coward, so Lord Jin, can I know what treasure this is?"

Jin An felt quite pleased with Duan Chen's attitude.

He wagged his tail with some delight.

"It's rare for me to meet a human I have such a good impression of, so it's fine to tell you, since you can't take it anyway."

"There are no treasures here. Believe it or not, that's the truth."

Jin An flicked his tail dismissively.

His attitude and words conveyed indifference.

"If you insist on calling anything a treasure that causes this scene, then it's just myself."

"Oh, right. And the effect of the Myriad Beasts beneath your feet."

Myriad Beasts.

Beneath his feet.

A rather unbelievable thought formed in Duan Chen's mind.

He widened his eyes and asked.

"Lord Jin, do you mean that the entire land I'm standing on is the back of Myriad Beasts?"

Jin An nodded nonchalantly.

"That's right. Don't worry, he won't wake up easily. You are still safe for now."

"What? Are you scared?"

Jin An looked at Duan Chen with a half-smile.

Duan Chen choked for a moment, then couldn't help but show a wry smile.

He nodded directly.

"To say I'm not scared would perhaps seem hypocritical. Of course, I'm a little scared. It took me who knows how long to walk from one end to the other."

How could he have been stepping on a turtle's back the entire time?

If that were the case, how big would the turtle have to be?

Jin An laughed.

"The world is vast and full of wonders. The legendary Xuanwu, a divine beast, can stand between heaven and earth."

"How could you think Myriad Beasts is just a small turtle?"

"However, speaking of which, you humans really make a good impression on me."

Jin An's demeanor shifted, and he suddenly began to talk about something irrelevant.

"Have you ever gone dating demonic beasts?"

Duan Chen's expression froze for a moment.

"Can you date such things?"

Jin An didn't quite understand what Duan Chen was talking about at first. However, upon seeing his expression and demeanor, he frowned. The next moment, his spiritual power entered Duan Chen's mind with exceptional intensity.

Although the entry was intense, Jin An subconsciously softened his movements.

But the next second, Jin An's serpentine face darkened.

With a "bang!"

Duan Chen was directly sent flying.

However, this time, he regretfully did not land in the milky white lake, but instead slammed heavily onto the ground.

Jin An's roar came.

"You humans are not old, but your minds are full of thoughts. I mean a contract, a contract, don't you understand?"

Uh...

Duan Chen awkwardly climbed up.

Although he had been violently thrown, he didn't actually feel any pain.
