The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1044 The Human Emperor as a Robber, This is Interesting!
During this drinking session, Lin Chen was quite frank. After all, Gao Yi had noticed something but didn't do anything, which meant that Gao Yi didn't care.

If that's the case, why keep it hidden?

They didn't care because Lin Chen was only at the Nascent Soul stage. Even if he wanted to do something, he couldn't cause any trouble. If they knew Lin Chen's true identity, they probably wouldn't be so casual.

After finishing his drinks, He Qianshan went to bed with another woman. Lin Chen paid the bill for both of them and left the store.

Lin Chen strolled around the bustling market, making sure no one was following him, before taking out his communication stone and sending a message to Nalan Wushuang.

Before long, Nalan Wushuang appeared beside Lin Chen.

"That's pretty fast."

Nalan Wushuang wore a hat and dressed much more plainly, making her less conspicuous in the darkness.

"Luckily, I placed a mental mark on you, otherwise, with you guys running around everywhere, I really wouldn't have been able to catch up with you."

Nalan Wushuang looked at Lin Chen curiously: "You've been with them the whole time?"

Lin Chen nodded: "They are different from what I imagined. Although they are robbers, they only rob the wealthy, the rich, and the sects. They do not harm ordinary civilians. They have seven thousand black Xuan stones. I will keep them and see if I have a chance to get them."

Nalan Wushuang asked, "Can we just rob it?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "No, the regimental commander and the strategist are both very capable. By the way, you should have met King Kong the Bandit King; he almost killed you back then..."

Nalan Wushuang was stunned: "Who?"

Lin Chen said, "His father died at the hands of the demon race. Years ago, he went to assassinate the Demon Emperor alone but was stopped. He then turned around and tried to assassinate you, but you led him into the formation..."

Nalan Wushuang suddenly realized: "The Vajra Bandit King is him. That person is indeed very powerful. Back then, even when several demon kings attacked together, they couldn't stop him. He managed to escape."

Lin Chen nodded: "They have basically accepted me now. I may have to hang out with them for a while. You can go back to Xingyuan City and wait for me."

Nalan Wushuang shook her head: "Going back would be boring anyway, so I'll just follow you. I want to see what you're up to."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "So curious?"

Nalan Wushuang smiled and said, "I've heard many stories of emperors, all of them either saving the world or on their way to saving the world. This is the first time I've seen a living emperor, and the first time I've heard of an emperor who is also a bandit. So I want to see how you're going to walk your path."

Lin Chen shook his head helplessly: "You really have too much free time. Even if you went to cultivate, you could at least improve your strength. What's the point of coming along to watch the show with me?"

Nalan Wushuang chuckled: "Following you to watch the excitement is much more interesting than cultivating. Alright, you don't need to worry about me. I'll take care of myself and avoid them."

Lin Chen nodded: "Then it's up to you. Just be careful and don't reveal your identity." Lin Chen naturally didn't need to worry about Nalan Wushuang's strength. Even if she encountered a Void Realm expert, she, with her innate Dao Body, would still have the ability to escape.

Lin Chen spent three days in the city eating and drinking with He Qianshan, and nothing unexpected happened.

Three days later, everyone gathered again on the mountain outside the city, and Yelü Yuan and Gao Feng, who had disappeared for three days, reappeared.

"Is everything repaired?"

Yelü Yuan glanced at everyone and smiled, "I've found a big business opportunity. There's going to be a big battle ahead, so get ready."

Zhou Yuanji asked, "Boss, who are we going to fight?"

Gao Yi replied, "It's a secret for now. Just follow along. Oh, right, here we go."

Gao Yi tossed out a box: "This is the Black Mystic Stone Essence Pearl, it's yours."

Zhou Yuanji happily accepted it and said excitedly, "Thank you, boss! Thank you, strategist! Haha!"

Gao Yi cautioned, "Don't open it yet. There's a seal on the box. Once opened, the essence bead will start to take effect, and it will only last for ten days before it becomes ineffective. So don't open the box until you've carefully comprehended and broken through the barrier."

Zhou Yuanji put the box into his spatial storage and smiled, "Alright, next time I rest, I'll go into seclusion and try to break through in one go."

Lin Chen's gaze fell on Zhou Yuanji, his expression slightly subtle.

The essence pearl is in Zhou Yuanji's hands. Zhou Yuanji is only at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, not a strategist or Yelü Yuan. Dealing with him should be quite simple.

Unfortunately, I can't bring myself to do it.

During this time, although Lin Chen and they could not be considered brothers in arms, they were still partners. Moreover, they had not done anything that would be considered heinous or immoral, so Lin Chen had no reason to harm them for the Black Profound Stone Pearl.

He Qianshan patted Lin Chen on the shoulder and chuckled, "Envious, aren't you?"

Lin Chen smiled wryly: "I'm envious."

Zhou Yuanji chuckled: "Kid, it's a pity there's only one of these. Sorry, you'll have to work hard on your own!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Okay."

Gao Yi's gaze fell on Lin Chen's face, staring intently for two seconds before turning his head and saying, "Alright, everyone, let's go!"
