The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1175 If you don't have the strength, don't provoke people you can't afford to offend!
"Divine Thunder Heavenly Soul Wood, 100 million spirit stones; Flawless Fruit, 10 million each. I bought four, for a total of 140 million."

Fairy Xuanji said softly, "Thank you. I will repay you after I am resurrected."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It's okay. I'm only doing this to curry favor with you. It's only right that I make some sacrifices. Just don't kick me when you're resurrected."

Fairy Xuanji was speechless for a moment. Why did this guy always talk so incoherently?

"I'll kick you! I'll kick your face, I'll kick you to death!"

Qiao Wei stared in disbelief. Did he usually speak to the fairy in this tone?

So casual?

Let alone ordinary cultivators, even those immortal servants, who among them doesn't bow and scrape before immortals, filled with awe and reverence?
Lin Chen actually dared to joke about immortals?
Fairy Xuanji didn't seem to care about his joke at all, and even responded to him like this?

Like close...friends?
incredible!
They really have a great relationship!
On second thought, it probably has something to do with a person's upbringing. If this were a cultivator from a barbaric world, where there has been a historical gap of tens of thousands of years and even the existence of immortals is uncertain, they would be extremely respectful to an immortal they suddenly encountered. They would not have such an attitude.

Upon closer reflection, Lin Chen, coming from the mortal realm, is indeed quite different from the cultivators of the desolate realm.

To be specific, you can't quite put your finger on what makes him different from others, but once you get to know him, you realize that he is indeed different.

You'll feel very comfortable with him.

Wasn't that what initially attracted me to him?
"If you successfully refine the Great Luo Qiankun Pill, how long will it take you to revive, and how much combat power will you recover after revival?"

"About 20%."

Lin Chen had no way of predicting just how powerful her 20% strength would be, so he thought for a moment and asked, "How would 20% of your strength fare against that Nascent Soul from the lower realm?"

Fairy Xuanji replied, "If we fight head-on, I probably won't win, but she can't kill me either. After all, I am the real body, and she is just a primordial spirit from the lower realm. Unless she descends to the lower realm in her true form, but I think she wouldn't dare."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Why don't you dare?"

Fairy Xuanji laughed and said, "The journey from the Immortal Realm to the Wilderness Realm is actually quite similar to the journey from the Wilderness Realm to the Human Realm. Even if you have the strength, you can't fully utilize it. I can only use 20% of my strength, not only because of my physical disability, but also because of this."

"If she descends to the lower realm, her strength will be suppressed to a very low level. Even if she is slightly stronger than me, she may not be able to completely crush me. Most importantly, she is definitely afraid of some of my methods that will keep her permanently in the Wilderness Realm." "She herself will definitely not descend to the lower realm. Someone like her would not take such a big risk. At most, she will send her primordial spirit to the lower realm. Even if there is a real need, she will definitely send someone else to deal with me. Anyway, it's better to die for others than for me."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "Does that mean that as long as you are resurrected, you can basically roam freely in the Wilderness Realm?"

Xuanji replied, "With 20% of my strength, I can easily roam the Wilderness Realm, but the premise is that that woman cannot find out. Otherwise, she will send her primordial spirit down to the lower realm, or send other immortals down to kill me. That is something that cultivators in the Wilderness Realm cannot compare to."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "We'll do it secretly. Anyway, immortals live fast. They'll take a nap and a few years will have passed. By then, you might even be resurrected and return to the immortal realm."

Fairy Xuanji chuckled: "I hope so. Right now, I bet her celestial servants are searching the whole world for me."

Just as Lin Chen was about to speak, Xuan Ji suddenly said, "Someone's coming."

Who is coming?
Lin Chen was slightly puzzled. He and Qiao Wei walked out of the pavilion and then saw three people descending from the sky. The one leading them was the arrogant man from the auction house who had bid against him.

Lin Chen instantly understood: this person had lost the bid and was trying to resolve the matter privately with him.

The arrogant man landed on the ground, his gaze falling on Lin Chen, and said coldly, "Kid, do you know why I'm here?"

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow: "You feel you lost face at the auction, so you've come to me to teach me a lesson and vent your anger? Or are you planning to force me to hand over the Divine Thunder Heavenly Soul Wood?"

The arrogant man sneered, "If you know what's good for you, hand over the Divine Thunder Heavenly Soul Wood, and I won't take it for nothing. I'll give you 55 million spirit stones!"

Lin Chen blinked: "I spent 105 million to buy it, and you're giving me 55 million? Wouldn't I be losing out?"

The arrogant man sneered: "I could have gotten it for 55 million anyway. Who told you to show off and bring bad luck? Giving you 55 million is already an act of kindness on my part."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Then I'll just lose out for nothing?"

The arrogant man said haughtily, "Consider it a lesson learned. If you don't have the ability, don't offend people you can't afford to offend."

Lin Chen nodded and asked in return, "After all this talk, you haven't even given your name. How am I supposed to know if I can afford to offend you?"
