The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1023 If I speak, who dares to disobey?
Are the Demon Emperor and the Human Emperor sitting together drinking tea and playing chess?
Nalan Wushuang opened her eyes wide, thinking about the scene in her mind, feeling extremely strange, and then suddenly came back to her senses.

Aren't the Demon Emperor and the Human Emperor father and son?
A father and son drinking tea and playing chess together—what a scene…

"Do you think this way because the Demon Emperor is your father?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "No, even if it's a real demon who has nothing to do with me, I still hold this view."

Lin Chen looked at Nalan Wushuang and chuckled, "I come from the human realm. My views may differ from yours, and I think this is relatively easy to achieve."

"Isn't that basically how it is now? Dongpengzhou and Dongshengzhou are the territory of the demon race, with almost no humans. Beiwuzhou, Xihouzhou, Nanyuzhou, and Donghuangzhou belong to the human race, with only low-level demon beasts and very few high-level demons. Zhongshenzhou is in chaos, with humans and demons coexisting, but there are no rules to restrain their behavior or protect the safety of the common people."

"If a strong person establishes fair laws and provides strong guarantees, I think peaceful coexistence between the two races is not difficult."

“I don’t think tragedies like Xingyuan City were unavoidable.”

Nalan Wushuang smiled wryly: "What you say sounds wonderful, but will others agree with your view?"

Lin Chen spread his hands: "Everyone can see the current situation. The goal I'm talking about is even better than the current one, isn't it? Why would anyone object?"

"Besides, I don't have that ability. Saying these things is just wishful thinking and courting death. But if I did have that ability, and I spoke up, who would dare to disagree?"

Nalan Wushuang was stunned for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said, "That's right. If you have enough strength, who would dare to disobey? This world has always been ruled by the strong. Unless someone can destroy you, your words are the ironclad rule!"

Lin Chen nodded: "That's right, so I've always believed that all of this is predicated on having sufficient military strength; otherwise, it's all just a mirage."

Lin Chen looked at Nalan Wushuang and asked, "And you, Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan, what are your goals or ideals?"

A hint of confusion flashed in the eyes of the demon saintess. She remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "In the past, I hoped to lead the demon race to restore its former glory."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Attack the human race, trample them underfoot, and make them slaves of the demon race..."

Nanan Wushuang did not answer, but his answer was clearly not much different from what Lin Chen said.

Wasn't the war between humans and demons always a matter of life and death?
A city appeared before the two of them. Lin Chen turned around and stared at the dilapidated and old city walls.

"arrive."

Xingyuan City has high city walls and a large area of ​​city walls, but the city walls are severely damaged. There are few people living outside the city, and the crops in the fields outside the city are sparse, making it look quite desolate.

The city was large, but rather desolate. On the east gate, two human corpses hung from the city wall. The bodies were already shriveled, and it was vaguely possible to make out that they were a man and a woman, both naked. The man's body was relatively intact, but the woman's body was mutilated, with two large holes in her chest and wounds all over her body, making her look quite gruesome.

Lin Chen looked around calmly, then said calmly, "Let's go into the city."

Nalan Wushuang asked, "Aren't you going to restrain them?"

Lin Chen said calmly, "They need to be appeased. I will come back to collect them after I get the offerings."

Nalan Wushuang pursed her lips; she naturally understood what Lin Chen meant by the sacrificial offering.

She was a holy maiden of the demon race, and she should have said something, but facing Lin Chen, the hanging corpse in front of her, and especially the distorted face of the female cultivator, she couldn't utter a word.

She followed behind Lin Chen, walking in silence.

There were no guards at the city gate. The demons who occupied the town were not worried about people leaving the city. As long as they did not leave by flying boat, where could ordinary people go?

Even if the nearest city is thousands of miles away, how can an ordinary person cross a wilderness teeming with monsters?

The two walked slowly on the bluestone path in the city. The bluestone path was quite dilapidated, with many potholes, but no one had repaired it.

The cobblestone path is flanked by dilapidated houses, some of which are now vacant and covered in cobwebs.

After walking a while towards the city center, the population began to increase, but it was immediately apparent that the people here lived a very hard life.

Just as Lin Chen was about to ask for directions to the City Lord's Mansion, an old woman next to him suddenly waved anxiously in his direction.

Lin Chen walked over: "Auntie, what's the matter?"

The old woman looked around nervously and whispered, "You must be from out of town. You should leave quickly. This place has been taken over by the demon race. Their leader is a womanizer, and his men are searching the city for beautiful women to send to the city lord's mansion for him to play with..."

Lin Chen felt a warmth in his heart. It turned out that this old lady and the middle-aged man were both well-intentioned.

Just as Lin Chen was about to speak, a sharp, cold voice suddenly came from beside him: "Old man, you've got some nerve, daring to speak ill of the City Lord behind his back. Looks like my dinner is sorted out tonight..."
