The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1019 Can I travel with you?
"Aren't you a candidate for the Human Emperor?"

Na Nan Wushuang stared at Lin Chen, her gaze subtle: "If it were the Human Emperor, would they be willing to sacrifice themselves in the face of such a choice?"

Lin Chen replied calmly, "Whether they want to or not is their business, but I don't want to."

"I would do my best to help and save humanity, even risk my life, but I am unwilling to entrust my life to another person to help them achieve their goals."

“I was never a noble person to begin with. Besides, you know I come from the human world. There are only a few people I care about in this world. Everyone else is a stranger to me. If they die, I will feel sorry and sympathy, but I will never feel guilty.”

Lin Chen paused, his gaze falling to his pocket: "I know you can hear what I'm saying. If you don't think I'm the person you approve of, you can take back your approval."

The Emperor's Seal remained unmoved.

Lin Chen continued, “I don’t know if you have life or what kind of existence you are, but if you choose me, we can be companions who face any difficulties together, and collaborators who work together to achieve a certain goal. I don’t consider myself your master, and you shouldn’t consider yourself my controller.”

"They say that the reason why the Human Emperor is the Human Emperor is because he has the recognition of the Human Emperor Seal. It is the Human Emperor Seal that chose him. The Human Emperor dies, but the Human Emperor Seal remains. There will be another Human Emperor. The Human Emperor Seal is eternal. How many Human Emperors are there?"

"Free will is the most precious thing. I don't want to be a human emperor who is controlled by your will. If you don't approve of me, you can leave. If you do approve of me, you can't cause me any trouble in the future!"

Na Nan Wushuang stared at Lin Chen in shock.

How dare you speak to the Emperor's Seal like that?
"The Emperor's Seal has recognized you?"

Lin Chen replied, "Previously in the Eternal Graveyard, I was trapped by the old hag, a sure death trap. The Human Emperor Seal established a connection with me, and I can now control it in battle. I don't know if this means acceptance..."

Nalan Wushuang's eyes were filled with shock and complex emotions.

You were able to control it to fight against the Demon Ancestor and defeat him. What is this if not recognition?
Lin Chen is the new Human Emperor!
Does Lin Chen want to become the Human Emperor?

Of course!
The Human Emperor's Seal—such a powerful magical artifact, who wouldn't want to possess it?
Command the world?

Lin Chen had no interest in that!
Cultivators are free and can roam the world at will, so why bother with so many affairs?
That's why Lin Chen used the incident of Nalan Wushuang being possessed to express his views.

If the Emperor's Seal accepts it, that's good; if not, then he can simply give up his recognition and leave.

The Emperor's Seal possesses a unique will. Even if I can control it, if it is unwilling, can I force it?
Let's settle things now, so we don't get into trouble later. The Emperor's Seal remained unresponsive, adopting an attitude of "I can't hear you, do whatever you want."

Seeing this, Lin Chen stopped talking. After all, it was enough to make his bottom line clear. If he kept nagging, he might annoy the dog and it might actually run away. Wouldn't that be a loss?

Lin Chen looked up at Nalan Wushuang: "What are your plans next?"

Nalan Wushuang remained silent for a few seconds, then shook her head, her eyes slightly blank.

"If the Demon Ancestor's primordial spirit dies, then I will naturally return to the Demon Clan, treat all of this as a dream, and do what I should do when I wake up."

"If the demon race's primordial spirit is not dead, I dare not go back. I bet that although I myself am unwilling, other demon races would be very willing to sacrifice me for the benefit of the entire demon race."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Not only that, they will also express their sincere gratitude to you for everything you have done for the demon race, and tell you that they will always remember you..."

Nalan Wushuang curled her lip: "Where are you going?"

Lin Chen casually replied, "If we go straight west from here, it should be the Central Divine Continent. This was once the most prosperous continent for humans, but it was destroyed in the war between humans and demons. I plan to travel along the way, pass through the Central Divine Continent, and then return to the Western Hou Continent."

"Central China?"

Nalan Wushuang hesitated for a moment and said, "I am currently weak and it will probably take some time to recover. Can I travel with you?"

Lin Chen looked somewhat surprised. The demon saintess actually wanted to travel with a human cultivator like himself?
Lin Chen hesitated for a moment and then said, "Okay, let's wander around together then. After you've found out about the Demon Ancestor and made sure it's safe, you can go back."

Lin Chen wasn't sure whether the Demon Ancestor was dead or not. If she wasn't, Nalan Wushuang would likely be walking into a trap if she went back.

She didn't want to die, so she had to leave the demon race's territory and out of their sight until she was certain that the demon ancestor was completely dead.

"Okay, thank you!"

Lin Chen glanced at the fox-woman ears on Nalan Wushuang's head and pointed at them, saying, "You need to wear a hat to cover yourself up, otherwise, anyone with a discerning eye can easily guess your identity as a fox-woman..."
