The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2824 Why don't you join my Taixu Mountain?
"Senior Sister, you've been staying on Mount Taixu most of the time and rarely go out. How many people could you possibly know? I'm nothing compared to you..."

Gong Jianying snorted, "Don't listen to your senior brother's nonsense. I have actually gone out to gain experience, and I'm not as ignorant as he says."

Lin Chen smiled but didn't say anything.

Judging from Wen Mengsheng's teasing words, Gong Jianying must have made some kind of joke during his previous training trips, the kind that could become a laughing stock. So much so that when Gong Jianying was teased, he could only tell his senior brother to stop talking instead of refuting that he was wrong.

Gong Jianying probably knew that her statement was not very credible, and blinked: "Of course, compared with your wonderful life experience, my experience is definitely much inferior."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It's good to cultivate immortality peacefully and happily, and to do what you want and what makes you happy. I haven't even had a place to settle down along the way."

Speaking of this, Lin Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Although I had joined sects before, I was mostly out and about and rarely went back. Later, when I came to the Myriad Gods Immortal Realm, I finally built a cave dwelling and had a home. But then I offended the Myriad Immortals Palace, and they leveled the entire island for me..."

Gong Jianying looked at Lin Chen with sympathy and couldn't help but say, "Why don't you stay on Mount Taixu? When Master returns, I'll ask him to take you as a disciple as well. From now on, Mount Taixu will be your home."

"Master is extremely famous throughout the Bitter Sea Immortal Realm. No one dares to provoke him. He is an incredibly powerful figure in the entire Immortal Realm. No matter how many Immortal Realms are in between, he can arrive in an instant. Once you join Taixu Mountain, you will never have to worry about being bullied by anyone again."

"Yes, even if the other party is the Lord of the Myriad Gods Immortal Realm, it won't work!"

Lin Chen couldn't help but chuckle: "Now that you mention it, it's really tempting."

Gong Jianying also smiled and said, "Master admires you very much. If you are truly willing to become his disciple, he might actually agree."

Lin Chen shook his head: "I'm used to being a loner and I don't consider the consequences of my actions. If I can't win a fight, I'll just run away. If I really joined Taixu Mountain, I don't know how much trouble I would cause there."

"Besides, I have made an appointment to go to the Crimson Immortal Realm, so it is not convenient for me to stay here any longer. Once these two things are settled, I will leave. I will only disappoint Senior Sister's good intentions."

Gong Jianying said with a regretful look, "That's a real pity. If you had joined Taixu Mountain, I would have been able to enjoy many more delicious meals."

Lin Chen couldn't help but chuckle: "Do you want me to join Mount Taixu so that I'll cook you a big meal in the future?"

Gong Jianying chuckled and said, "How could that be? I only joined Taixu Mountain because you are a talented person. Your joining Taixu Mountain will strengthen the mountain's power. I'm not just here for a big meal."

Gong Jianying said she wasn't looking for a fancy meal, but her expression betrayed her.

Lin Chen laughed and said, "We've been traveling together for quite a while now. During this time, I'll cook all my best dishes for you so you can enjoy them to your heart's content, okay?"

Gong Jianying's eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly, "Really?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Travel is boring, and I'm just killing time anyway. Actually, I quite like to cook some delicious food to treat myself while traveling. There's an old saying that food is the only thing that should not be missed, and that food can heal the soul, which is very true."

Gong Jianying laughed and said, "That's a good line. I'll go back and tell my senior brother. If he's happy, I can get two more big meals out of him."

Although the Bitter Sea Immortal Realm is not divided into four separate domains like the Myriad Gods Immortal Realm, its area is no smaller than that of the Myriad Gods Immortal Realm. It is said that if one were to travel across the east and west by the fastest flying boat, it would take at least several decades, not including those unexplored wastelands.

The Red River Mountains stretch for tens of thousands of miles and are located in a remote area. The nearest city is at least ten days' flight away. The mountains are teeming with monsters and are extremely dangerous. Even adventurous cultivators often dare not venture deep into them, as they are likely to never return.

With the Starry Sky Beast Tia by his side, whose strength was enough to suppress a peak Great Luo Immortal, Lin Chen naturally had nothing to fear. It would take at least four months to travel from Taixu Mountain to the Red River Mountains. Traveling at full speed would be faster, but Lin Chen was not in a hurry and therefore did not need to endure such hardship.

Lin Chen has now begun to relax and no longer holds the mentality of "seizing every minute". After all, immortals have countless lifespans, so why rush? It's not like he's in a hurry to be reincarnated.

"There's still some time before the birthday banquet. How about I accompany you to take a stroll in the Red River Mountains first, and then you can come with me to the banquet when it's time?"
Lin Chen was slightly surprised: "You are the Master's junior disciple, so it's normal for you to represent the Master at the birthday banquet. I'm nothing, so it would be a bit presumptuous for me to go with you, wouldn't it?"

"What's the big deal? A birthday banquet won't bankrupt them, will it?"

Gong Jianying pursed her lips: "I brought some generous gifts, they won't lose out."

Lin Chen chuckled to himself. Was he discussing the issue of losing money?
Gong Jianying glanced at Lin Chen and added, "Friend, this status is enough. Who would ask any questions? It's a birthday banquet; the more guests, the more lively it is, that's what's good."

Lin Chen looked at Gong Jianying with a smile: "You're not going to the birthday banquet alone and getting stage fright, are you?"

Who got stage fright?

Gong Jianying's face suddenly turned red, and she subconsciously stuck out her neck and replied, but when she saw Lin Chen's smiling eyes, her tone softened a bit: "I just feel bored by myself. It's more lively with someone by my side."

Lin Chen thought for a moment. The Red River Mountains were not too far from Moon Wheel Mountain, where Gong Jianying was celebrating his birthday. He estimated it would only take about half a month to travel there. A trip would probably only take about a month at most. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you then."

Wen Mengsheng had helped me a lot, and when he left, he entrusted me to take care of Gong Jianying, so I'll keep him company.

Consider it a small way of giving back, since there's not much else I can do.

Several months passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Chen and Gong Jianying gradually approached the Red River Mountains.

"Even if the Sky Leaping Beast does exist, it's not very big. This mountain range stretches for tens of thousands of miles, it's so vast, how are we supposed to find it?"

Lin Chen, however, was not in a hurry. He unfolded the map in his hand and tapped on the landmark of a city.

"No rush, let's go here first."

Gong Jianying looked down at the map: "Redwood City, what are we going here for?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Just as you said, the Red River Mountains stretch for tens of thousands of miles. Even if we are fast, finding a Leaping Beast that may not even exist is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"Redwood City is the closest major city to the Red River Mountains. There must be many cultivators who venture into the Red River Mountains, and it must be the most well-informed. If there really are Sky Leaping Beasts there, I think someone should have seen them by now."

"If we can find out some useful information, then we can search more specifically, wouldn't that be much more efficient?"

Gong Jianying's eyes lit up: "That makes sense, let's go!"
