The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Why do I feel a strange sense of pride in Chapter 1275?

"Are you afraid that I'll agree to your terms first, sign the contract, and then kill you?"

After completing the contract signing with Ji Ruxue and Yan Chusheng, Lin Chen stared at Ji Ruxue: "I still remember the first time we met, you were chasing me in your white robes, almost killing me..."

Ji Ruxue said calmly, "I was indeed worried that you would not accept me because of this, but I never thought that you would use the master-servant contract to kill me after signing the contract."

Lin Chen smiled and asked, "Why?"

Ji Ruxue replied, "First, you are the Human Emperor. Second, even if you want to kill me, you can wait until you are more powerful and kill me yourself. That way, you can do it openly and justifiably. If you sign a contract and use it to kill me, wouldn't that just ruin your own image?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "You see things quite clearly. Although you did want to kill me back then, I don't hate you. After all, firstly, I didn't suffer any harm back then, it was you who suffered. Secondly, you were just doing your duty by guarding there, and you didn't have any personal grudges against me."

"Regardless of your past or your motives, since you've volunteered, you'll have to work for me. Of course, if I ever become capable, I won't forget to reward you."

Ji Ruxue cupped her hands and answered decisively, "Yes, Master. If we encounter danger, we will die before you."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Although you have entrusted your lives to me, and I can use that to threaten you into doing anything, I am generally a person of principle and believe in mutual consent."

"I am not strong enough right now, and there are indeed places where I need your help. I will be grateful for your help at this time. When I am able to go to the Immortal Realm, I will definitely take you with me. And when I am strong enough, I will give you your freedom."

"I keep my word."

Lin Chen came from the mortal realm, and was not a cold-blooded powerhouse like those in the barbaric or immortal realms who regarded human life as nothing. He had his own bottom line.

Ji Ruxue and the others felt much more at ease after receiving Lin Chen's promise.

Lin Chen is, after all, the Human Emperor, and is recognized by the Human Emperor's Seal, so his words are naturally trustworthy.

Ji Ruxue cupped her hands and said, "My master is kind and benevolent. I will do my best to serve you. In short, if my master is in danger and has to die, I will definitely die before you."

Yan Chusheng, standing to the side, realized he also needed to express his opinion, but Ji Ruxue had already said everything. What could he say?
Yan Chusheng cupped his hands, at a loss for words, and said, "Me too!"

Lin Chen pursed his lips, almost losing his composure.

"Let's go back to Winterfrost City. By the way, from now on you can call me... Boss."

Lin Chen led the three back to Winterfrost City and found that there were many large airships in Winterfrost City, with people coming and going in a constant stream, and it looked very busy.

These must be the various sects and forces that originally came to support the battlefield.

Lin Chen went straight back to the city lord's mansion. As soon as he landed and stepped inside, someone came out.

Lin Chen looked closely, and his face immediately lit up with surprise. "Master!"

"Senior Brother! Second Senior Brother! Senior Sister!"

"Why are you all here?"

Master Shi Changsheng, eldest brother Li Ping'an, second brother Bai Mo, and third sister Qiao Wei stood neatly on the steps, smiling as they looked at Lin Chen.

Bai Mo laughed and said, "Brothers in arms, like father and son. You're fighting on the front lines, so naturally we can't just stand by and watch. As soon as we got the news, we rushed over. Who knew you could handle everything all by yourself..."

Li Ping'an laughed and said, "Junior Brother is getting more and more powerful. I heard you went into seclusion to break through your cultivation level. Judging from this, you must have succeeded in breaking through, right?"

Lin Chen excitedly went to greet them and bowed to his master, senior brothers and sisters.

"You've broken through... You've arrived, where are the others?"

Qiao Wei explained with a smile, "They are in a safe place. Senior Gui is taking care of them, so there is no problem with their safety. We thought we would come to help you, but who knew the battle was over."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I am also thanks to the fairy. Master, let's sit inside and talk."

Lin Chen turned to Yuan Ji and said, "Yuan Ji, arrange rooms for them."

"Yes!"

After the three left, Shi Changsheng's gaze lingered on their retreating figures. "Who are they?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "There's also Si Defa. The four of them are the guardians of Death Valley, immortal slaves, you could say they're half-immortals. Now they serve me as their master..."

Shi Changsheng's expression was quite complicated for a moment.

My disciple is truly remarkable.

In just a few years, he has gone from the Golden Core Realm when he first entered the Wilderness Realm to the Void Realm. This speed of progress in strength is unprecedented in history!

Back then, countless powerful figures from various sects gathered to attack Death Valley, suffering countless deaths before finally defeating four immortal slaves and conquering Death Valley. In the end, these four immortal slaves all became Lin Chen's servants, serving him as their master and holding their lives in their hands.

He had initially taken Lin Chen as his disciple out of admiration for his old friend, leaving him to be looked after by Qiao Wei. He never expected Lin Chen to achieve such success in such a short time.

Looking back, although Lin Chen's success didn't seem to have much to do with me, why did I feel a strange sense of pride?
