The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1223 If I run for my life, will you come with me?
"If I don't fight desperately, I'll die anyway. That woman, whether it's you or me, is no match for her in a one-on-one fight."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Let's not worry about who saved whom. It's good that everyone is alive and well."

Nalan Wushuang gazed intently at Lin Chen with her beautiful eyes, and after a long while, she gently nodded: "Mm."

Nothing happened overnight, and as dawn broke, it was the last day of the secret realm.

After a night of rest and recovery, Nalan Wushuang has returned to her peak condition, while Lin Chen is still in that listless, half-dead state.

The aftereffects of the Berserk spell won't disappear overnight.

"Are you feeling better?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'm much better, but I can't do anything for the time being."

Nalan Wushuang took out Gu Yue's spatial ring: "Let's see what we've found?"

Lin Chen laughed, "I destroyed her true body before, so only her primordial spirit escaped. I even took her black stone coffin. I doubt there's much good stuff in it..."

Nalan Wushuang scanned the spatial ring with her divine sense, her eyes widening in shock.

Seeing this, Lin Chen asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Is there something good that surprises you so much?"

Nalan Wushuang raised her head, her gaze subtle: "Kuai Niu Pi!"

Lin Chen's eyes widened: "The hide of the Kui ox is with her?"

Nalan Wushuang handed the spatial ring to Lin Chen: "Yes, I guess it's because she's the Demon Ancestor that she's keeping it, and she's planning to give it to the Demon Emperor later."

Lin Chen scanned the ring with his divine sense and saw a piece of Kui ox hide that had been processed and folded.

The enormous space of the spatial ring was completely filled with a cowhide. Besides the cowhide, there were eight ghost lingzhi mushrooms and two spatial rings that each contained a giant leg.

If the drum is made of Kui ox hide, then the two Kui ox legs are the best material for drumsticks.

Lin Chen had originally given up on the Kui Niu hide, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and the Kui Niu hide ended up back in their hands.

Lin Chen looked up and asked, "What should we do?"

Nalan Wushuang frowned: "Many people know that Gu Yue has the Kui Niu hide. If the Kui Niu hide falls into my hands and I hand it over, everyone will know that I killed Gu Yue..."

Lin Chen frowned: "If Gu Yue and Kui Niu Pi have both disappeared, will the Demon Emperor search all the remaining explorers' void rings?"

Nalan Wushuang stared at Lin Chen: "You don't want me to hand it over, do you?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "Yes, if the Demon Emperor were to make this thing into a war drum, countless humans would die because of it."

Nalan Wushuang thought for a moment: "Without you, I wouldn't be alive, let alone get this Kui ox hide. Here's what we'll do: you can take the Kui ox hide, but I hope you won't use it in the war..."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Why don't we each take half?" Nalan Wushuang shook her head: "If we each take half and make it into a magic weapon, its power will be greatly reduced. Two legs can be refined into two drumsticks, which is just right."

"You should keep this ring. Even if the Demon Ancestor is gone and the Kui Niu hide is gone, they probably won't search you. After all, all the major powers are influential and have their own secrets. Who would want to be searched?"

Lin Chen nodded and handed the black throwing knife to Nalan Wushuang: "This throwing knife is very powerful at breaking barriers and protective shields. You can take it."

Nalan Wushuang shook her head: "I'm not good at using this. I'll keep the Five Elements Universe Flag. It can be used in conjunction with my special phenomenon, leaving no place for people to escape. It suits me better."

"Row."

Lin Chen didn't stand on ceremony with Nalan Wushuang and put the throwing knife into his spatial ring.

"If, and I mean if, after we get out, my identity is exposed because of Gu Yue, I'll run for my life immediately. Will you come with me?"

Nalan Wushuang said softly, "Then I would truly become a traitor to the demon race."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's alright. Let's work together to stop this war and strive to establish a new order in the Wilderness so that humans and demons can live together in peace."

Nalan Wushuang had heard Lin Chen's vision of the new order before, and she actually quite agreed with it.

If we can reopen the path to immortality, and everyone works hard to cultivate and ascend to immortality, why fight to the death?

Na Nan Wushuang asked, "Is it difficult to open the ascension passage?"

Lin Chen smiled wryly: "It's difficult, but we have to try."

To open the ascension passage, the only way is to revive Xuanji, help her defeat Wei Jiao, and allow Xuanji to regain power. Once Xuanji has a position, rebuilding the ascension passage will be a matter of a single word from her.

Nalan Wushuang thought for a moment: "Have you considered joining forces with the demon race to do this together?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "The situation doesn't allow it. I don't even dare to talk about the human race, let alone the demon race."

Nalan Wushuang immediately understood.

This is probably not going to be easy at all.

Nalan Wushuang looked at Lin Chen with admiration. While the world was still fighting for power and profit, Lin Chen was already working silently to open the path to ascension.

Without companions, all alone, I struggled hard.

If he fails, he shoulders the burden alone; if he succeeds, everyone enjoys the fruits of victory.

He is a lone hero in the world of cultivation.
