The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3077 Asking for the moon, then settling for a bargain

Lin Chen's eyes widened in shock.

You're so brave!

"So, the Palace Master wants to bring that magic orb back, absorb the insights into the path of the sage within it, and strive to break through to become a sage?"

Now that the reason had been explained, the Palace Master no longer concealed it: "I have this idea, but I don't know if it will be useful or how useful it will be. However, since I know that this thing exists, I want to give it a try."

Lin Chen asked worriedly, "This item must be extremely important to the Demon God Palace, right? Putting aside whether I can succeed, even if I do succeed, will the Demon Emperor and the Little Demon Emperor come looking for trouble?"

The palace master replied, "It's not a big problem. My master is still alive. Right now, we're fighting fiercely with the Immortal Realm, so they're even less likely to pressure my Great Wilderness Palace. If they push us too far, I can't guarantee that my master and the Immortal Emperor won't join forces."

Why don't you two join forces?
What's the point of just making threats?
Lin Chen muttered to himself, but on the surface he smiled and said, "Having a saint protecting you makes you tough. I'm envious."

Hearing Lin Chen's words, the Palace Master couldn't help but curl his lips. "Listen to his tone. Does this sound like a subordinate speaking?"

The Palace Master knew very well that Lin Chen didn't necessarily have to submit to the Great Wilderness Palace. He possessed a magical treasure that could accommodate more than a thousand people, and he could live a comfortable life as a bandit in the Demon Realm, as long as he didn't go too far.

His allegiance to the Great Wilderness Palace was simply to use the name of the Great Wilderness Saint to avoid being easily eliminated by the Demon Emperor or the Little Demon Emperor.

It might not be easy for a quasi-saint to catch this group of people, but if a saint sets his sights on them, unless they hide somewhere and never expose themselves, they will easily be discovered by the saint and then directly eliminated.

"Now you understand, right?"

Lin Chen nodded: "I understand. I never expected that the Palace Master would entrust such an important matter to someone like me who is new to the Immortal Realm. I am a little flattered."

The Palace Master said in a deep voice, "The Demon Race is not allowed to enter. As for the humans among the Wildlings, they also have their own ideas..."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Take Mei Mingzhi for example. If he got it, he might absorb it himself and try to break through the Heavenly Dao to become a saint, instead of giving it back to you. Is that what you mean?"

The palace master's sharp gaze fell on Lin Chen: "You're a sensible person."

Lin Chen sighed: "That's why you entrusted this matter to an outsider like me, Palace Master. Firstly, although we are all human, our interests may not be aligned. Although they are human, they have become estranged from the Immortal Realm. Secondly, I am not a Quasi-Saint, so I may not be able to use my understanding of the Way of the Saint."

The palace master was silent for a few seconds, but finally admitted frankly, "Yes, do you have any complaints?"

"I'm not really dissatisfied. After all, the Palace Master said that I should do my best, but he didn't expect me to complete the mission even if it meant my death."

Lin Chen readily replied, then immediately returned the money: "It's just that this matter is extremely difficult to complete. If I am lucky enough to succeed, could you give me ten or eight spots in the Thunderous Secret Realm?"

"Ten or eight?"

The Palace Master's tone suddenly rose a few decibels: "Do you think the spots for the Thunderous Secret Realm are like cabbages, something you can have as many as you want?"

Lin Chen asked innocently, "How many can the Palace Master give?"

The palace master suddenly got stuck. Oh no, this guy has taken advantage of the situation.

He was asking for an exorbitant price, and I was just going to reply to him, but he picked up on the topic.

Of course she could refuse, after all, she was the palace master, and Lin Chen wouldn't dare to do anything if she refused. But at the same time, Lin Chen could also just go for a stroll somewhere and come back to tell her, "It's too dangerous. I did my best. I can't do anything more. You should send someone else."

How can you expect people to risk their lives for you without offering enough benefits? The Palace Master pondered for a moment: "If you successfully bring back the magic orb, I will give you a spot!"

Lin Chen bargained without hesitation: "I definitely can't go alone. I have to bring people with me to fight for them. If it's just one person, then it's like they're risking their lives while I'm enjoying the benefits. That's not fair. How about giving me a few more, five?"

Before the Palace Master could refuse again, Lin Chen quickly explained the difficulties: "Palace Master, look, this is a very difficult task to complete. If it is truly accomplished, the Palace Master will gain insight into the Path of the Saint, and might even ascend to the heavens in one step and directly become a Saint. Compared to becoming a Saint, what are a few spots in the Thunderous Secret Realm?"

"Your Thunderous Secret Realm has been open for so long, yet not a single Saint has emerged. Palace Master, don't you agree?"

The Palace Master was put on a pedestal by Lin Chen's words again, frowning and coldly snorting, "I want to obtain the magic orb, but I only want to absorb and comprehend it to make some references. Becoming a saint is not that easy."

"The jade from another mountain can be used to polish the stone."

Lin Chen continued to persuade, "What if it actually works? Who can say for sure? This is something belonging to the Demon Emperor; it's not so easy to get your hands on. Its value is immense!"

"Three!"

The palace master was entangled with Lin Chen and had no way to deal with it for the time being, since Lin Chen was the one who had to handle this matter.

"If you bring the magic ball back, I'll give you three spots, no more. If you still think that's too few, then I'll send someone else."

"Although the humans among the Wilderness people are united, it doesn't mean that all humans think of themselves first. There are also many who are loyal to my Great Wilderness Palace..."

Lin Chen readily agreed, "Alright, three spots, deal! Palace Master, rest assured, I will do my best!"

After figuring out the origin and function of the magic orb, Lin Chen had already started making plans.

You think I'm not a Quasi-Saint and that this is useless to you, but you don't know that I have a Quasi-Saint by my side, do you?
This thing sounds amazing, I have to give it a try.

If it doesn't work, so be it. As long as I'm careful enough, I won't suffer any losses. If I'm lucky enough to succeed, I'll definitely try to get some benefits from that orb. After all, who knows how many good things are left in the orb?

After gaining benefits, or even if you don't, you can take the magic orb back and exchange it for three spots in the Thunderous Secret Realm. Wouldn't that be another way to make a profit?

According to Qi Tian, ​​the Thunderous Secret Realm is a place where humans who enter will receive great benefits. With a little improvement in his strength, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Seeing that Lin Chen agreed so readily, the Palace Master couldn't help but grit her teeth.

This guy has a dog's face; he changes his mind so quickly!
The Palace Master said in a deep voice, "Recently, the Demon God Palace has mobilized all its forces. The Demon Emperor and the Little Demon Emperor's attention is probably focused on the Immortal Realm. The defenses of Demon Saint Valley should not be so tight. This is your opportunity."

"As for how you will break through the guards of Demon Saint Valley, that will depend on your adaptability."

Lin Chen nodded: "I will bring some people with me."

The palace master said in a deep voice, "You make the arrangements yourself; I won't interfere."

Lin Chen asked, "I've given you my men to leave the Great Wilderness Palace. The Dawn Camp won't be sent to participate in the battle, will it?"

The palace master gritted her teeth and said irritably, "Don't worry, I won't send them to their deaths! We'll talk about it when you get back, okay?"
