Lord Glen recognized the Snake Monarch. That gave him an expectation that Long Chen was nearby as well. That was what shocked him. If Long Chen was nearby, why wasn't he coming out?
"Now that we have the silence! Tell me straight! Did you just call me embarrassing and weak?" The Blood Dragon Emperor asked the Snake Monarch?
"Calling you weak? Why would this Monarch call you weak?" The Snake Monarch asked. "In fact, I consider you as a little brother."
"Did you forget, my father and your mother were great friends? My father used to visit your mother every weekend! Our family friendship goes very far! But you probably don't remember that since you weren't born by then," he added, trying to keep the Blood Dragon Emperor engaged.
He thought that maybe Long Chen was still concerned about the Blood Dragon Emperor and that's why he wasn't appearing.
"Family friendship?" Blood Dragon Emperor asked, confused. "Nonsense! Utter Nonsense! You're lying! My family would never be friends with your family! You weakling! You should be glad that this Emperor graced your body for even a little!"
"You graced my body?" Snake Monarch muttered. "Eww! What did you do to my body when I was asleep! I am warning you! I don't swing that way!"
"Huh? What?" The Blood Dragon Emperor looked at the Snake Monarch with a blank face.
In the background, Zhu Chang had appeared before the lady in the cloak. He was just about to speak to her when he heard Snake Monarch's words.
"Cough! Cough!" He started coughing, understanding the meaning of his words.
"That idiot!" he muttered, shaking his head.
"Did you call me an idiot?" The red-haired lady asked, frowning.
"Not you. I was thinking about someone else," Zhu Chang answered.
"It doesn't matter. Why do you block my path? Step aside," the lady said.
"Step aside so you could go to my father and tell him my whereabouts? I don't think so," Zhu Chang responded.
"Your whereabouts? Why would I tell your father you whe- wait. Are you saying he doesn't know your whereabouts? Did you run from your home too?" The lady asked, surprised.
"Why do you act surprised? It's as if you didn't know about me going missing? Aren't you here on my trail? Didn't my father send you?" Zhu Chang asked, stunned.
The lady raised her head to reveal her deep red eyes. "As I said, I don't know your father. However, I understand why I saw so many Black Tortoise Clan members in the other worlds. They were searching for you."
"Those eyes..." Seeing the eyes of the last, Zhu Chang recognized who she was. He grew surprised. "Ahh, so you're from the Phoenix Clan. It appears that you also ran away from your home."
"That's right. Now how shall go your way, and I'll go mine. You're attracting too much attention. The Clan members might be here soon. I don't want to be caught because of you. Also, don't tell anyone you saw me." The lady started walking away.
Watching the lady leave, Zhu Chang couldn't help but smile. "Amusing. Very amusing to see a Phoenix here. And he's also like me. I wonder if she ran away for the same reason as me."
"But she was right about something. We're attracting too much attention. It's not good, even if it's for fun. The Clan members can come to the Immortal World easily."
"It's much harder for them to come to the mortal world. The chance of being caught here is too high," Zhu Chang muttered, sighing.
He also turned around and walked to the Blood Dragon Emperor.
"Enough playing around. You got your body. It's time to leave."
"Huh? What? But I just gained my body back! I need to finish many things! I need to kill the Emperors and take my revenge! I can't leave without that!" The Blood Dragon Emperor protested.
"So, should I take it as your confirmation that you don't care about Long Chen? Taking your revenge is more important than his life? Because if that's the case, that will imply that you were lying to me before. And I don't appreciate someone lying to me!"
As the Blood Dragon Emperor saw the scary eyes of Zhu Chang, he started sweating. He was feeling intense pressure, making him feel as if his body was going to be destroyed under this pressure.
In his excitement of getting his body back, he had completely forgotten that he wasn't the strongest anymore! And a Heavenly Beast Prince was with him who could crush him in a second.
"I-i care for him. I just lost myself for a moment since it was going to take a short time to kill the enemies. And Long Chen wasn't in any big danger there. But you're right. Every second is important! As for these weaklings, I can kill them anytime." The Blood Dragon Emperor nodded apologetically.
Snake Monarch also heard them mention Long Chen. As he flew close to them, he heard about him being in danger.
"Did you say Long Chen was in danger? How did that happen? Where is he? And how do you know him?"
"We don't have time to explain it. Just know that he's trapped in a place, and we need to save him. Also, if you want to come with him, that's fine too," Zhu Chang replied.
"What? We should take him with us? Nonsense! He's a weakling! He would only drag us behind!" The Blood Dragon Emperor responded. "Let him stay behind?x
Zhu Chang glared at the Blood Dragon Emperor again, making him go silent. "Don't forget, your soul was inside that weak body until recently! And you were dragging us behind too! So don't be a bit*h about it."
"Wait? His soul was inside me? How did that happen? That would certainly explain why I don't know what happened with Long Chen and how I ended up here! But where is he trapped?" Snake Monarch asked.
Zhu Chang glared at him as well. "If you don't shut up, I'll actually leave you behind! Just keep your lips closed if you don't want that to happen! I just had to be stuck with two talkative snakes!"
"I'm a Dragon, not a Snake," Blood Dragon Emperor responded to the taunt.
"And I'm not a talkative snake. In fact, I barely talk," Snake Monarch also added.
"Are you two going to shut up or not? Because trust me when I say this, but I know ways to seal your mouth forever, and you won't like it!" Zhu Chang responded.
The Snake Monarch and Blood Dragon Emperor closed their mouths.
"That's better," Zhu Chang nodded.. He touched the Blood Dragon Emperor and Snake Monarch and disappeared.
