The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1701 sounds more like meeting the girl's parents.

Lin Chen bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, greetings, senior!"

Cao Hechuan laughed and said, "You saved Xuanji, and the entire Immortal Palace is very grateful to you. Hmm, you're good-looking, and your eyes are righteous. No wonder Xuanji has been thinking of you ever since she came back..."

Lin Chen was slightly embarrassed, while Yao Xuanji, who was next to him, obviously did not expect him to say such a thing so soon after meeting him, and her face immediately turned red.

"Grandpa Cao, don't talk nonsense! Who's thinking of him!"

Cao Hechuan replied with a smile, "Yes, yes, I misspoke. I meant I miss him. Our entire Immortal Palace, countless sects, almost turned the entire Immortal Realm upside down, but we couldn't find you. He's just a little guy who isn't even an immortal, yet he managed to bring you back. I've wanted to meet him for a long time."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Senior, you are too kind. Although I did help her a bit, she has saved me many times in return. We can be considered to be helping each other. I certainly saved her, but she is also a benefactor in my life. Without her, I would not have made it this far."

Cao Hechuan chuckled and said, "Not bad, young man. Come on, no matter who's lucky, you're in for a treat today!"

Cao Hechuan led the two back to his secluded dwelling, which was located at the foot of a snow-covered mountain. However, while the mountain was covered in snow, the scene below was completely different.

The outer perimeter is a grassland that encircles the entire canyon, and this grassland acts as a dividing line.

Outside it's a freezing winter, but inside it's a warm spring.

Within the meadow lies an orchard, planted with various fruit trees, some of which are laden with fruit, and the air is filled with the subtle fragrance of fruit, a truly delightful aroma.

Inside the orchard were several vegetable plots, each divided into different areas and planted with different vegetables.

The soil in these vegetable gardens is full of spiritual energy, clearly spiritual soil that has been specially refined. These vegetables are not special varieties, but ordinary vegetables that we see every day. However, they grow very well under the cultivation of spiritual soil.

The lush green vegetables, the bright red tomatoes, the deep purple eggplants, and so on, are all brimming with vibrant life.

The vegetables are arranged very neatly, and looking at them row by row is very pleasing to the eye.

Lin Chen's eyes lit up; this was truly a paradise on earth.

For ordinary people, it would be impossible to do this, but for immortals, it can be done with some small formations and spells. All that is needed is to put your heart into it.

The old man is living his life completely like an ordinary person.

That being said, once you reach the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm and cannot find an opportunity to ascend, you have reached the pinnacle of cultivation. Further cultivation is useless, and you can only devote more time to other matters.

"Let's eat here today, I'll cook!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'll help."

Cao Hechuan turned to look at Lin Chen: "You can cook?" Lin Chen smiled and said: "My cooking skills are so-so, I just know how to make it."

Yao Xuanji exposed him, saying, "Grandpa Cao, he's lying to you. He's a very good cook. He always carries cooking utensils with him and makes himself something delicious anytime."

Cao Hechuan laughed and said, "That's good. This fish is a bit special and needs to be prepared specially. Otherwise, its icy coldness is too strong and eating it will cause some damage to the body. I'll cook the fish, and you can cook some vegetables. You can pick any vegetables from my garden."

Since Yao Xuanji had said so, Lin Chen naturally couldn't refuse anymore, and said with a smile, "Alright, if I didn't do well, please don't mind, senior."

Cao Hechuan laughed and said, "If Xuanji says your cooking is good, it obviously can't be bad. You can cook with confidence. Anyway, there are no outsiders here. If it's good, it's delicious; if it's bad, it's bad!"

Cao Hechuan took the fish to process it, while Lin Chen headed towards the vegetable garden, with Yao Xuanji following behind with a smile.

What are you planning to do?

Lin Chen smiled and asked, "What would you like to eat?"

Yao Xuanji said with a smile, "I like everything you make."

Lin Chen turned his head to look at Yao Xuanji, who was smiling at him, acting like a girl next door, completely unlike her aloof and imposing demeanor as a domain lord.

Lin Chen laughed and said, "If you don't tell me, then I'll just do whatever I want."

"Yes, what do you want to pick? I'll help you."

Lin Chen glanced at the vegetable garden: "Pick some green peppers, pick a few eggplants, make a stir-fried green peppers and eggplants, make a cold tomato salad, cook a vegetable soup, add some fish, that should be enough for three people."

"Okay, then I'll go pick some green peppers."

After the two finished picking vegetables and returned, Cao Hechuan, who was cleaning the fish, waved to someone in the distance. A snow-covered area on the snow-capped peak burst open, and a piece of meat flew down the mountain, landing directly on Lin Chen.

"These are the spirit deer I hunted earlier. We couldn't finish them, so I froze them in the snow. You can cook them however you like. Young man, you can't just eat vegetables and not meat. I also have some homemade wine. We can have some later."

Lin Chen looked at the large piece of venison in his hand and smiled, "Okay."

Lin Chen simply took out his cooking utensils and quickly started cooking. After Cao Hechuan finished preparing the fish, Lin Chen also prepared everything and started cooking.

After Cao Hechuan finished steaming the fish, he stood to the side and watched with a smile. He looked at Lin Chen, then at Yao Xuanji next to him. The look in his eyes made Lin Chen's heart tremble slightly.

Why does this feel like my first time meeting the girl's parents?
