The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1933 Tears Become Pearls
“The Water Scale Dragon Ape is right here, but it’s hidden in a very secret place. If I don’t help you, you’ll have a hard time finding it.”

"The Water Scale Dragon Ape is very strong, especially underwater. I can help you kill it."

"In exchange, you give me a Serpent Heart Heavenly Fate Fruit as payment."

Lin Chen asked, "What is this Serpent Heart Heavenly Fate Fruit you mentioned? Is it a celestial medicine? I've never seen it before, nor do I have any on hand."

The merman answered crisply, "The Heavenly Fox Palace has them. You are a special envoy of the Celestial Palace. If you ask them for one, I think they won't refuse."

Lin Chen asked, "What is the function of this Serpent Heart Heavenly Fate Fruit? Is it very precious? If it is, even though I am a special envoy, the Heavenly Fox Palace may not be willing to give it to me."

The merman explained, “It has special uses for us mermen. I need it to cure my illness. The Serpent Heart Heavenly Fate Fruit is indeed very rare, and it’s hard to find even one. But the Heavenly Fox Palace should have quite a few. If you only ask for one, they should give it to you. After all, you are a special envoy of the Celestial Palace. The demons of the Heavenly Demon Continent obey orders but not commands, but they will give the Celestial Palace some face.”

Lin Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Since you know I am a special envoy of the Celestial Palace, why did you attack us just now?"

The merman replied, "That Water Scale Dragon Ape is not easy to deal with. It would be very difficult for me to handle it alone. If you are not strong enough, then even if I help you, it will be useless. I only made a move to test the waters."

Having said that, Lin Chen had no reason to refuse, but thinking about the battle just now, he still asked with some unease, "Why were the Hundred Demon Sect people chasing you?"

The merman's voice was icy: "I took my wife away from the place where my people lived in order to cure her illness. We mermen cannot stay away from the water for too long, so we settled here, but we were targeted by this group of people."

"Mermaids' tears turn into pearls, which are of great use to demon cultivators. However, mermaids live deep in the vast ocean and live in groups. Firstly, it is difficult for demon cultivators to find our location, and secondly, their strength may not be our match. Therefore, very few people fight us in the ocean."

"My wife and I are passing through here without any powerful reinforcements. If these demon cultivators see us, how could they not harbor evil intentions?"

Lin Chen understood the cause and effect and immediately nodded, saying, "If you help me obtain the blood from the heart of the Water Scale Dragon Ape, I will definitely go to the Heavenly Fox Palace to ask for the Serpent Heart Heavenly Fate Fruit for you. However, I cannot guarantee that they will give it to me. I can only promise that I will do my best!"

The merman hesitated for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, you are the special envoy of the Celestial Palace, I trust you. There's no time to lose, let's act quickly, kill the Water Scale Dragon Ape, and move on immediately, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble when those demon cultivators return!"

Lin Chen didn't waste any words and readily agreed: "Okay!"

"You guys come with me!"

The merman fell back into the water and swam away into the distance. Lin Chen was surprised to find that this creature was incredibly fast in the water, covering several miles in the blink of an eye. It truly lived up to its reputation as a powerful aquatic creature. After traveling about three hundred miles, the merman surfaced in the water: "The water here is extremely deep, well over ten thousand meters. That Water Scale Dragon Ape is hiding in this abyss. I'll lure it up. You all lie in ambush outside and attack with all your might. Don't let it escape back to the bottom of the water, otherwise, it will be difficult to catch it again."

"it is good!"

The merman dived into the water, and Lin Chen summoned the Exquisite Pagoda.

As Immortal Lord Ziyun said, the Water Scale Dragon Ape is very powerful, and even with her strength, it would be difficult to kill it. Therefore, Lin Chen must ask Qi for help to suppress it, lest things get complicated.

Ziyun Immortal Lord stared at the lake surface and said softly, "It is not necessary to kill it. As long as we find an opportunity, pierce its heart and obtain its blood, we will have accomplished our mission."

The once calm lake surface suddenly churned and surged, as if it were boiling.

"boom!"

The water surface suddenly exploded, and the merman's figure soared into the sky. At the same time, a thick arm, as strong as a pillar supporting the sky, suddenly stretched out from the water and grabbed at the merman in the air with terrifying power.

The four-meter-tall merman appeared so tiny under this enormous arm, like a person waving their hand to catch a flying sparrow.

Lin Chen's pupils contracted slightly; this size was just too exaggerated.

If one arm is this big, then its whole body must be like a towering mountain.
The merman brandished his trident, and the boundless waves transformed into countless terrifying high-speed water columns capable of piercing through mountains, stabbing towards the enormous arm.

Lin Chen had seen this method before; those two powerful demon cultivators were instantly killed. However, this equally powerful method struck that thick arm, and although blood flew up, it only pierced the skin of the arm and did not completely penetrate it, nor did it cause serious damage.

Lin Chen was secretly shocked; the Water Scale Dragon Ape's defense was too strong!

The water column beneath the merman suddenly rose higher, and the merman's body shot into the sky, avoiding the grab.

The Water Scale Dragon Ape's hand missed its target and crashed into the water, creating towering waves. The next second, its enormous body burst out of the water like a mountain suddenly emerging from the water.
