215: There's no way around it, he just falls for it.

Yao Kings themselves are quite weak, yet Cao Jihan could only defeat Yao Kings of lower races.

But thinking about it, that makes sense. Yao Kings are already the upper echelon of the Yao Race's power. The entire Eastern Demon Alliance has less than a thousand Yao Kings.

Cao Jihan is merely the Master of the small Ghost Corpse Temple; his status and strength are quite similar.

Back then, I also fought evenly with a Purple Zombie, but it’s different now… Waking from his memories, Chen Heng looked at Cao Jihan, whose eyes were filled with anticipation.

"I will give you a task. If you perform well, I will let you become my family's guard dog."

"If you fail, then you can return to the Sea of Blood Hell and continue to enjoy yourself."

"Master Chen, no matter what task you give me, rest assured!" Cao Jihan was ecstatic beyond words; he had long wanted to escape this cursed place.

Chen Heng was very satisfied with Cao Jihan's attitude and began to condense Qi and blood to reshape his Physical Body.

At first, reshaping the Physical Body went smoothly, but the further it progressed, the more Qi and blood were needed.

Chen Heng originally intended to sculpt a Labrador or a Golden Retriever, but even his more than forty thousand Qi and blood felt somewhat insufficient.

In the end, Chen Heng gave up on sculpting a large dog; sculpting a small dog would be more cost-effective.

As the Qi and blood dwindled, a small, exquisite, and very cute puppy appeared in Chen Heng's arms.

"Alright, from now on, you will move around using this Physical Body."

Chen Heng reached out and grabbed Cao Jihan, stuffing him into the dog's body in his arms.

"Master Chen, aren't these legs a bit short?"

Cao Jihan moved around twice and found the dog's limbs to be surprisingly short.

"What, not satisfied?" Chen Heng asked, looking at the corgi in his arms.

"Satisfied, extremely satisfied!" How could Cao Jihan dare to say no? He now wished he could lick Chen Heng a couple of times.

"Satisfied is good." Chen Heng nodded and left the Sea of Blood Hell with Cao Jihan's new Physical Body.

Only Nine Zero, whose microphone was muted, was left to endure endless torment… After regaining consciousness, Chen Heng found a corgi squatting at his feet, looking up at him.

"How's the new Physical Body adapting?" Chen Heng grabbed the corgi by the scruff of its neck and lifted him up.

Cao Jihan nodded but did not speak.

After leaving the Sea of Blood Hell, Cao Jihan seemed to have lost his ability to speak, only barking.

However, this was also a good thing; not being able to speak could avoid a lot of trouble.

"Take this letter and this token, and deliver them to the Chen family in Qiyang City."

Taking out a token and a letter from his embrace, Chen Heng stuffed them into Cao Jihan's mouth.

"After you deliver them, you will stay with the Chen family and be responsible for their safety."

"Remember, your life exists for the safety of the Chen family. Even if you can't win, you must buy them time to escape."

Chen Heng's eyes became somewhat dangerous, and Cao Jihan couldn't help but shiver.

"Even if you die, I can re-condense a Physical Body for you."

"Once I find that you haven't wholeheartedly protected the Chen family, or even run away..."

"Then you will return to the Sea of Blood Hell and continue to enjoy yourself."

"Woof~" Cao Jihan shivered all over at the thought of the Sea of Blood Hell and quickly nodded.

"Alright, go."

After Cao Jihan disappeared from his sight, Chen Heng also let out a long breath.

He had been out for so long; it was time to report his safety to his family.

Moreover, there was no one capable of fighting in his family; once they encountered danger, they would be like a piece of dough to be kneaded by anyone.

Someone still needed to protect them to put his mind at ease.

Returning to Great Liang from Golden Tiger City required Transmigration through the entire Jade Fan Kingdom; he didn't know how much time that would waste.

If any unforeseen circumstances arose during this period, Chen Heng would regret it too late.

"It's getting late; let's rest."

Stretching, Chen Heng planned to get a good night's sleep… In the middle of the night, a Demon Slave in the City Lord's mansion pushed open the door and walked in.

He tightly clutched a sharp blade in his hand, his eyes were bloodshot, and saliva continuously drooled from the corners of his mouth.

"Kill you, kill you…"

Chen Heng's vigilance was basically zero when he slept; he didn't even notice that someone wanted to kill him.

He even scratched his belly, rolled over, and continued to sleep.

The Demon Slave used all his strength to stab at Chen Heng's temple!

With a crisp clang, the sharp blade instantly broke.

The broken blade directly pierced into the Demon Race's instep.

"Hmm?" Feeling a slight itch in his head, Chen Heng opened his eyes, looking at the Demon Slave in front of him with some confusion.

"Kill you, kill you!"

The Demon Slave shrieked and pounced, his sharp claws scratching back and forth across Chen Heng's face.

This tickle-like attack didn't even fully wake Chen Heng, but he instinctively grabbed the Demon Slave's head.

"Are you sick? I'm sleeping!"

After speaking, Chen Heng forcefully slammed the Demon Slave to the ground.

With a splat, red and white splattered across the wall and floor.

Just as Chen Heng was about to lie down, he saw the Demon Slave, whose head had exploded, stand up again.

"Heh heh, you disrespect me and still think you can escape?"

The familiar sound of fingernails scratching a blackboard rang out, and Chen Heng immediately realized that the Demon Slave in front of him was polluted by black qi.

"You wouldn't think that after refusing this Venerable One, you would still leave alive?"

"However, this Venerable One will not let you die easily. I will first torment you thoroughly before slowly dealing with you."

"Evil Dragon?" Chen Heng yawned and scratched his hair, which was as messy as a bird's nest from sleep.

"I didn't come looking for you, and you're getting cocky with me, aren't you?"

"Heh heh, if you had the guts to come find me, would you have run away?" The Evil Dragon's voice rang out again, full of mockery.

"No need to hide the fear in your heart. It is natural for a mortal existence to fear this Venerable One."

"Damn it…" Chen Heng felt his temples throbbing; he had an impulse to go kill the Evil Dragon right now.

"Heh heh, you cannot escape from the palm of this Venerable One's hand." The Evil Dragon's voice echoed in Chen Heng's ears, like a 360° surround sound system.

"No matter where you and what you cherish escape to, this Venerable One will find you…"

It seemed that this body had reached its limit, and the Evil Dragon's voice slowly disappeared, a wisp of black qi dissipating in mid-air.

"Good, good, this is what you asked for."

Chen Heng was now like a volcano about to erupt, his teeth grinding loudly.

"If I don't kill you, you'll really think you're something, aren't you just a black mud loach?"

Chen Heng got up, put on his clothes, picked up his black fiend blade, and was about to walk out.

"Hmm, Big Brother Chen, what are you doing out so late?"

"Oh, right, I just heard some movement in your room…"

Not long after walking out, Chen Heng saw Bai Jun sitting cross-legged under the moonlight, practicing his cultivation.

"I'm not going back."

Although Chen Heng's expression seemed very calm, Bai Jun could still see the anger beneath the calmness.

After telling Bai Jun what had just happened in the room, Bai Jun immediately understood why Chen Heng was so angry.

The troublemaker had come to his doorstep, how could he tolerate this?

Although this was the lowest form of provocation, this trick was just effective on Chen Heng!
