Chapter 252 (1/2)

<hr>

Yan Tianhen suddenly learned about his origins and heard about the entangled love-hate relations.h.i.+p between his parents, then he also heard that there were many people all trying to find him and hunt him down. He was naturally in a bad mood, which gave rise to many anxieties and fears–

He feared that sooner or later, one day, he would drag Lin Xuanzhi down. He was also afraid that the “Dao of Heaven may be fair, but the guilty will not escape”, ultimately forcing him to part ways with Lin Xuanzhi due to his blood and never again be able to live together so happily like this.

Even though Yan Tianhen could cry and act and talk childishly, in his heart, he held his own ideas and beliefs.

Lin Zhan once said that he was a clever one. This child had always been intelligent, ever since he was small.

Yan Tianhen stood in front of Feng Jingyu, he looked down at the phoenix with his head drooped, “Dage, can I have a few words with Maomao alone?”

Lin Xuanzhi glanced at Feng Jingyu and nodded, “Dage will wait for you in the room.”

“Okay.” Yan Tianhen looked back and smiled at Lin Xuanzhi.

Lin Xuanzhi’s eyes were gentle. “Don’t worry too much.”

Yan Tianhen nodded.

After Lin Xuanzhi left, Feng Jingyu cleared his throat and said in his infant’s voice, “This–”

“Who allowed you to tell my Dage these matters? I’m a Divine Devil; do you think I’m not aware of the implications and need you to remind my Dage?”

Yan Tianhen narrowed his eyes, his gaze as cold as ice. He grabbed Feng Jingyu’s chubby body and held him in his hand, his two fingers squeezing Feng Jingyu’s short neck.

Feng Jingyu suffered a fright. He wanted to flap his wings; however, Yan Tianhen’s strength was extraordinary, and it seemed like he was about to be choked to death.

Feng Jingyu wasn’t an ordinary bird, so naturally, he wouldn’t bite the dust just from someone squeezing him. However, Yan Tianhen made him sense, very clearly, the sinister killing intent and danger.

Feng Jingyu hurriedly choked out, “Your Dage already knew that you’re a Divine Devil since a long time ago–ack” he broke off coughing.

Heavens, somebody’s about to murder a phoenix! These two brothers really are brothers, even their movements squeezing him are exactly the same!

Yan Tianhen chuckled coldly and loosened his grip slightly. “I know that he already knows that I’m a Divine Devil. I also knew a long time ago what kind of thing I am, but my Dage pretended to be unaware and never mentioned it. Naturally, he didn’t want me to worry about these troublesome matters. Now that you’ve made him aware of the fact that I know my own origins, he will definitely think that I feel sad and brokenhearted, and he’ll be even more anxious than me.”

Yan Tianhen really wished to strangle this d.a.m.ned bird and his loose tongue.

Ever since Lin Xuanzhi found out that he was cultivating demonic arts, he threw all the life-saving magic treasures onto Yan Tianhen. Later, when he found out that Yan Tianhen was actually a Divine Devil as well, he worried day and night, so much that he couldn’t even sleep well. He forced himself to improve his cultivation and expand his network of acquaintances. He refined magic treasures day and night without rest, afraid that someday, when Yan Tianhen’s ident.i.ty was exposed, he would be helpless and unable to protect him from being bullied.

Lin Xuanzhi wanted to bear everything for him and wanted him to live safely and securely under the sky that Lin Xuanzhi held up, enjoying a carefree life without any worries. Originally, Yan Tianhen didn’t want to pretend to be ignorant of everything, but after he carefully observed, a.s.sessed, and mulled things over, he found that by not knowing anything and not thinking excessively about anything, he could actually make Lin Xuanzhi feel more at ease.

Thus, Yan Tianhen was still that Yan Tianhen who wasn’t quite sensible but was also proud of being spoiled so.

However, this d.a.m.ned opinionated and stupid bird had actually exposed everything to Lin Xuanzhi and even brought more burden upon him. This infuriated Yan Tianhen so much that his eyes were about to roll back!

Feng Jingyu’s face was also full of astonishment, dumbfounded. How could he not see it after so many days? That underneath Yan Tianhen’s simple, innocent, and somewhat silly appearance, there was such a blackhearted fellow with a belly full of evil tricks!

Feng Jingyu looked at Yan Tianhen, who had black smoke coming off of him, and said with a trembling voice, “If, if you’d told me sooner that you aren’t the silly little brat you appear to be, I…this king naturally wouldn’t settle for the second-best and find Lin Xuanzhi, a person who originally could have stayed out of this entire affair.”

“That’s why I didn’t straight-up pluck your feathers and roast you.” Yan Tianhen rolled his eyes and let go of Feng Jingyu, scowling, “But I’m warning you, if you dare to talk nonsense to my Dage again in the future, I will absolutely find a chance to roast you.”

Feng Jingyu hurriedly nodded in agreement, roast is fine, roast is fine. In any case, he was least afraid of being roasted.

After the initial shock, Feng Jingyu also held less fear toward Yan Tianhen. Instead, he thought that this kid was quite interesting. Thus, he flapped his wings and landed on Yan Tianhen’s shoulder, winking at him, “You rascal, pretending to be a fool in front of Lin Xuanzhi all day long and even fooling this king, you’re really incredible.”

Yan Tianhen was still fuming as he sat on the stool, sullenly thinking about how to make his Dage feel at ease.

Feng Jingyu hopped on with his conversation, “Only, what in the world do you think about your ident.i.ty?”

“What can I think?” Yan Tianhen responded, in a bad mood. “I don’t care about fighting for some Crown Prince position, nor do I want to kill other people over that. I just want to be an ordinary person and be together with Dage, that’s all. I have nothing else to ask for.”

Feng Jingyu slapped Yan Tianhen’s face with one wing, hating the fact that this unrefined lump of iron couldn’t become steel faster. “Are you stupid? Even I can find this place. How long do you think it will take others to find it? I’ll be honest with you, you’re doomed to be unable to extricate yourself from the Nine Lands’ fight over the throne. Even if you don’t kill others, others will still be concerned about the danger you pose and think of ways to kill you. Silly child, care a little more about this.”

Although Yan Tianhen had an imposing manner earlier, he was still a child at heart. When it came to his Dage, he seemed to have changed his entire personality, but besides that, Yan Tianhen still had no energy for anything else.

Yan Tianhen was somewhat fidgety and slapped Feng Jingyu, who was swaying about in front of his eyes, to the table. He sighed sadly, “If soldiers come, block with the general; if water comes, block it with soil. I won’t make trouble for others if they don’t make trouble for me. What can I do, even if I know this? Don’t tell me that I can become a great power who can slaughter everyone in the four directions overnight?”

Feng Jingyu looked at Yan Tianhen with luminous eyes. “It’s not impossible. After all, you’re a Divine Devil. As long as the seal in your body is removed, you can obtain your bloodline’s innate inheritance. When that time comes, a cultivation speed of ten thousand miles a day will be nothing!”

“How can you know so many matters relating to our Divine Devil clan?” Yan Tianhen stared at Feng Jingyu suspiciously.

“In any case, your dad and I can be considered friends.” Feng Jingyu patted his chest proudly. “Your dad, Demon Venerable You Ming, once told me many secrets regarding the Divine Devil tribe. If you want to know, I can tell you later when I remember them.”

Yan Tianhen’s gaze was deep.”What kind of person is my dad?”

Feng Jingyu blinked. “A great beauty.”
