The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1020 At that moment, he was not the Demon Emperor, but his father.
A gauze hat was placed on Nalan Wushuang's head, covering her cute and beautiful fox ears, and a veil concealed her beautiful, fairy-like face.

Lin Chen looked you over for a while and smiled, "Not bad. Unless someone who knows you very well observes you up close, no one will recognize you as the Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan."

Nalan Wushuang smiled bitterly: "As a holy maiden of the demon race, it is ironic that I have to hide and not dare to show my face on the demon race's territory."

Lin Chen didn't care at all: "It's only temporary."

Nalan Wushuang stared into Lin Chen's eyes: "You are the Human Emperor, and I am the Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan. Logically speaking, shouldn't you take advantage of my illness to kill me? You saved me before and prevented the Demon Ancestor from possessing me, which can be understood as you not wanting the Demon Ancestor to be reborn."

"But after you took me away, I was already on the verge of death. Why did you still save me and let me die? Why did you burn my body and make me disappear completely? Wouldn't that have been better for humanity?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I didn't think too much about it. I saved him, so I saved him."

Nalan Wushuang bit her lip, completely disbelieving Lin Chen's explanation. After thinking for a moment, she looked at Lin Chen with bright eyes and asked, "Is it because of the Demon Emperor?"

Lin Chen turned his head and stared straight at Nalan Wushuang.

Nalan Wushuang said softly, "I know the Demon Emperor is your father."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Since you know, I also have some questions I'd like to ask you..."

Nalan Wushuang nodded: "Ask away."

Lin Chen calmly asked, "What exactly did my father experience in Yin Yang Valley, and why did he become the successor of the Demon Emperor? And you came out of the Demon Emperor's palace with my father that day. What is your relationship with him?"

Nalan Wushuang reached out and smoothed a few strands of her hair, then shifted her body and leaned against the wall beside her.

"I became the Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan because of my background and talent. You should understand that, and there's nothing more to say about it."

Lin Chen nodded. He didn't really care about Nalan Wushuang's background. He only needed to know that she was a holy maiden of the demon race and had a natural Dao body. That was enough for him.

"Although the demon race is scattered and disorganized, there is still an organization that exists, namely the Demon Emperor's Pavilion. The Demon Emperor's Pavilion serves the Demon Emperor and manages all the demon races in the world."

"In fact, there have been people who have served as the Demon Emperor in previous generations, but a Demon Emperor without strong strength and personal charisma has no appeal among Demon Emperors, so even if there is one, it is just a formality."

Lin Chen interjected, "Not everyone who sits in that position is called the Demon Emperor, right?"

"Yes, that's what it means."

Nalan Wushuang nodded: "The human race has been searching for the Demon Emperor's tomb for ten thousand years, and the demon race is also searching for it. Fortunately, we found a clue and finally confirmed that his tomb is in Yin Yang Valley."

"Because of my special physical condition, I am not affected by the strange poison of Yin-Yang Valley, so I entered Yin-Yang Valley to search for the tomb of the Demon Emperor." "When I found the tomb of the Demon Emperor, the heart of the Demon Emperor had already merged into your father's chest cavity. The two have been united for many years and have become one."

"I do not know how the Demon Emperor chose your father. After learning that I am the Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan, the Demon Emperor prepared to return to the Demon Clan with me."

"Just then, human cultivators entered Yin-Yang Valley in a grand manner, wanting to explore the tomb of the Demon Emperor. The Demon Emperor then devised a plan to ambush you."

"Because I entered the Demon Emperor's Tomb and helped the Demon Emperor solve a huge problem and help him complete the fusion, he trusts me a lot. In addition, I am the Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan and have a natural Dao body, so he values ​​me highly."

"He ordered me and the Crimson Dragon King to awaken the Demon Ancestor this time, but I never expected such a turn of events..."

Lin Chen frowned and asked, "You mean the Demon Emperor? Does he know that what the Demon Ancestor said about rejuvenation and blood awakening is a trap? To put it simply, does the Demon Emperor know that the Demon Ancestor will possess you?"

Nalan Wushuang shook her head: "I don't know."

If the Demon Emperor knew about this and still sent Nalan Wushuang, it would be like sending a lamb to the slaughter, deliberately sacrificing Nalan Wushuang's life to bring back a reborn Demon Ancestor.

If the Demon Emperor didn't know, that's a different matter altogether, and he shouldn't be blamed.

Lin Chen asked, "Demon Emperor, what is your current state?"

Nalan Wushuang knew what Lin Chen meant by asking this question, and thought for a moment: "He is more like the Demon Emperor than your father. Of course, this may also be because he was facing me, facing the demon race, not you, not his son."

Lin Chen was silent for a few seconds: "He still remembers?"

Nalan Wushuang replied affirmatively, "Of course I remember. After the True Dragon Secret Realm last time, when I went back to report that you had saved my life, his reaction was completely different from usual..."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "How about it?"

Nalan Wushuang pursed her lips: "Happy, proud. I felt that at that moment, he wasn't the Demon Emperor, but a father, your father."

Happy?
pride?

Lin Chen slowly exhaled, his eyes incredibly bright, a complex mix of emotions surging within him.

At this moment, as a father, are you genuinely proud of your child's achievements?
