The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1235 I'm asking you, am I good-looking?

"nice!"

Lin Chen, whose mood had been on a rollercoaster ride, finally relaxed.

Xuanji was still the same Xuanji he knew; she didn't turn her back on him.

The two are now in extremely unequal positions, one a high and mighty immortal and the other an ordinary cultivator. In the eyes of the immortal, the ordinary cultivator is truly like an ant.

Even the strongest cultivators, if an immortal looks up to them, are still used as slaves. Every single one of the immortal slaves that Wei Jiao commands is a prodigy of the era.
Although Lin Chen is the Emperor, to Xuan Ji for the time being, he is nothing more than a slightly stronger and more promising ant. If she really wanted to crush him, it would be a matter of just lifting a finger.

For a celestial being of such high status as her to have her body exposed would be a devastating event, with mountains and rivers shattered and bloodshed raging. But she only gave herself a fright and let it pass by easily, which was truly lucky for Lin Chen.

Lin Chen understood what she said afterward. If this matter were to be exposed, her family and potential suitors would all want to kill her for the sake of her reputation.

As for the two choices she gave him, Lin Chen didn't take them seriously. However, he wondered what would happen to him if he were to be afraid of death or overjoyed and agree to marry her, thus severing ties with his wife.
This choice may well be a test of her true feelings, after all, Lin Chen didn't believe she would be willing to marry a coward who would abandon his old love without hesitation once he found a better one.

Perhaps she won't kill me because I helped her, but the chances of us becoming strangers are probably quite high.

After all, such a person is not even qualified to be a companion, let alone a lover.

Perhaps Lin Chen was thinking about what had just happened, his expression was somewhat complicated, which led Fairy Xuanji to misunderstand. Her face flushed slightly, and she huffed, "Don't overthink it. I'm asking you if I'm good-looking, I mean right now!"

Lin Chen snapped out of his daze and exclaimed in astonishment, "I meant you're beautiful! You have a fairy-like figure, a beautiful face, and an elegant demeanor. You're the most beautiful person I've ever met, especially your eyes—they're so expressive and unforgettable..."

Looking at Lin Chen's expression, Fairy Xuanji realized that she had been overthinking things. Lin Chen hadn't connected the scene from earlier to his own appearance, and his answer was simply that he was good-looking and had no ill intentions.

Immediately pleased by Lin Chen's praise, Fairy Xuanji was delighted.

Which beautiful woman doesn't like to be genuinely complimented on her looks?

Praise from strangers can make people happy, let alone from friends they care about.

A woman should look good to those who please her.

Before, Fairy Xuanji's hands and head were scattered and disorganized. Even though she was an immortal, she was ashamed to show herself in front of Lin Chen. Now, as this was her first formal appearance before Lin Chen, she naturally wanted to dress up nicely to change the bad impression Lin Chen had of her. "You have some taste!"

Fairy Xuanji snorted, her tone slightly arrogant, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

"You can only remember what I look like now. You must completely forget all the memories of me from before, including when I was missing limbs!"

Lin Chen felt rather strange. This tone, this attitude—it was true that women all love beauty, and even past experiences of not being beautiful are not allowed.

Lin Chen replied seriously, "Seeing you now, who would remember what you were like before? Besides, you were always invisible before, so I basically never saw you. How could I have any impression of you?"

Lin Chen had actually seen it before, and when the altar was displayed, he naturally had to see it. However, Lin Chen didn't find it scary or ugly; he only felt regret.

Yes, it's a pity.

Whether it's Xuanji's hands or head, when you see them, you'll be amazed by their beauty, saddened by her fate, and angry at the brutality of the perpetrators. You won't find them ugly or terrifying at all.

Fairy Xuanji was quite satisfied with Lin Chen's answer: "That's more like it."

Lin Chen asked, "Now that the fairy has been resurrected, what are you planning to do next?"

Fairy Xuanji replied, "Although I have been resurrected, my body has not fully recovered and I still need to rest and recover for a period of time. Moreover, Wei Jiao should have sensed my resurrection and must have sent people to guard the boundary. If I go to the upper realm now, I am afraid I will be walking into a trap."

Lin Chen asked worriedly, "What if she sends people to guard the border while also sending people down to deal with you?"

Fairy Xuanji replied, "The Wilderness Realm has no immortal spiritual energy. Even if they descend to the mortal realm, their strength will be suppressed to a very low level, just like when you returned to the mortal realm. Even if they come to cause me trouble, they may not be much stronger than me. Moreover, there is the Ghost Tower, so we are not afraid of them."

"I also need some time to make more preparations. If we can re-establish contact with the Immortal Realm, things will be much easier."

Lin Chen nodded: "So, what I did before, I'm still doing now?"
