The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1166 Eating together, living together, honesty first
"This thing only takes on and releases once a month, and the amount released is quite large, enough for so many ancient behemoths to absorb for a long time. It's no problem for the two of us to cultivate."

Lin Chen smiled and looked at Qiao Wei across from him: "We're like family, why are you being so polite with me? Don't be so formal."

Qiao Wei pursed her lips, a playful glint in her eyes: "There are countless senior and junior sisters in this world, but I've rarely seen anyone share such an opportunity like this."

Lin Chen said with a smile, "It just means their relationship isn't as good as ours. When I was weak, my senior sister never looked down on me. Now that I'm capable, of course we should share the good fortune."

Qiao Wei chuckled: "You've been helping me from the very beginning, haven't you? You're the one who helped me protect Baitao City, you're the one who helped me earn the materials to refine the sword bone, and you've been protecting me 24/7 during the sword bone refining process..."

Lin Chen blinked: "If it weren't for you and Master protecting me back then, Murong Feng would probably have killed me long ago. Even if he couldn't kill me, he would have had his elders kill me. In this desolate world, killing a nobody with no background is too easy."

After a pause, Lin Chen chuckled and said, "Senior sister, we eat and live together, and we're completely honest with each other. If we're going to be so calculating with our relationship, that would be going too far."

Be honest?

Qiao Wei's pretty face suddenly flushed slightly as she recalled the awkward incident between herself and Lin Chen.

They've seen everything!
If it were anyone else, they would probably have been blasted to smithereens, but Qiao Wei only felt shy and not angry at all.

Qiao Wei glared at Lin Chen: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up!"

Lin Chen chuckled: "Who told you to be so formal with me? You forced me to do this."

Qiao Wei bit her lip, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed, yet also deeply warmed.

This guy really treats himself like his closest friend.

"Fine, fine, then I'll take advantage of you, and you deserve to suffer the loss!"

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "You are currently in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and you need to reach the Great Perfection realm as soon as possible. The enemies we will face in the future will become stronger and stronger, even unreasonable."

After a slight pause, Lin Chen's tone carried a hint of worry: "We might even run into immortals. Fairy Xuanji's enemies aren't just one, but a whole group of them—all immortals..."

Qiao Wei suppressed her smile and said solemnly, "From ancient times to the present, ascending to immortality has never been easy. Since you have met Fairy Xuanji and your fate is bound to her, you must take a chance no matter what."

Lin Chen nodded: "We need to consider the contingency plan. If the news that Fairy Xuanji is by my side is exposed, it is hard to guarantee that the immortals will come to Nanyue and take their anger out on you. We need to have a contingency plan for this."

Qiao Wei frowned: "Yes, I will discuss this matter with my master again to ensure there are no worries."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Anyway, there aren't many of us. We can give up on Nanyue for the time being and move to a place where no one knows us. Immortals are still people, so it's impossible for them to find us." Qiao Wei nodded, "That's a good idea. Let's see what Master thinks."

As they spoke, the metal plate had already expelled all the immortal energy. Lin Chen took it and left the house, and it began to frantically devour the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth around it.

Although the commotion was not small, this was the back of Feipu Peak, Qiao Wei's residence, so naturally nothing happened.

After consuming it, Lin Chen threw it back into his spatial ring and returned to the house.

The enclosed room was filled with a rich spiritual aura. Lin Chen took out the Water-Fire Mirror and released a small wisp of Yin-Yang Ghost Fire.

The Yin-Yang Ghost Fire was originally listless and seemed half-dead, but when it was surrounded by immortal energy, its weak flames suddenly trembled, and Lin Chen felt it begin to absorb the immortal energy.

Hey, this celestial energy really works!
The Yin-Yang Ghost Fire absorbed a significant amount of immortal spiritual energy in one go, causing the small ball of flame to noticeably grow larger, and its dim white flame to brighten.

Lin Chen put the Yin-Yang Ghost Fire back into the Water-Fire Mirror, then sat cross-legged and began his cultivation.

Immortal spiritual energy is at least a hundred times purer than spiritual energy, representing a qualitative change. Even a trace of immortal spiritual energy can produce noticeable changes after entering the body, and its effects are in no way inferior to the spiritual essence that Lin Chen once obtained.

If spiritual energy is vegetarian food, then celestial energy is a large piece of fatty meat dripping with oil; one bite brings boundless satisfaction and joy to the body and mind.

Lin Chen and Qiao Wei began their focused cultivation.

There are no days or months in spiritual practice; four months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Chen's strength increased by another small level, reaching the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, while Qiao Wei reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul realm, but was stuck at a bottleneck.

The Yin-Yang Ghost Fire emerges approximately every ten days to devour the immortal spiritual energy. With each absorption of this energy, it recovers significantly, and its spirituality and intelligence further improve.

Using the Divine Fire Technique's contract method, Lin Chen, much like training a hawk, successfully signed a contract with the Yin-Yang Ghost Fire, taking advantage of its instinct to crave immortal spiritual energy. From then on, he no longer had to worry about the Yin-Yang Ghost Fire running away or becoming uncontrollable.

Lin Chen looked at the Yin-Yang Ghost Flame floating above him with anticipation.

Although it's not strong enough now, the future looks promising!
