The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3294 Gift of the Cauldron
"Brother Chen!"

Lin Chen had just finished jumping and hadn't even had time to see his surroundings when a familiar voice reached his ears, and then Gu Yuexi rushed into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"You're finally back! You scared us to death!"

Lin Chen reached out and hugged Gu Yuexi, glanced around, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He had heard from the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord about the extremely dangerous battle. Although Chu Jiaxue and the others were all very powerful and fought as a group, the probability of something happening to them was not high. However, seeing that everyone was safe and sound, he was finally relieved.

"Don't worry, I'm no good at fighting, but I'm incredibly fast at escaping and running away. Even a saint might not be able to catch me!"

Chu Jiaxue asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I'm not injured. The Enchantress Lord chased me all the way, but it turned out she was chasing my clone. My real body was hiding. How could I dare to fight her? That would be suicidal."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Nalan Wushuang asked, "What about the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord? How is he?"

"He's alright too, I helped him escape."

Lin Chen briefly recounted his experience, and everyone who heard it felt a pang of worry for him.

In places where space is completely sealed off, even the slightest difference can lead to utter annihilation!
Shang Wenyan patted her chest: "That was close! That Enchantress Lord must be furious!"

Lin Chen chuckled: "I think it's about right. She saw me self-destruct in the sea of ​​fire, and then she turned around and saw me jumping around alive and kicking. Her expression at that moment was quite subtle."

The women were amused by Lin Chen's words, but when they thought about how Lin Chen had actually faced a Saint-level Demon Lord, they couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.

The Demon Lord is a powerful being comparable to a saint!
"By the way, the saints all know about you and are waiting for you."

Yao Xuanji's words startled Lin Chen, who quickly turned around and asked, "What's going on?"

Yao Xuanji replied, "The sages were discussing the war, and they came to the captured Seven-Colored Immortal Lord. The Great Wilderness Sage mentioned you, saying that you might be able to create a miracle and escape with the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord. Then the sages inquired about your situation. It is said that the Demon Emperor and the Little Demon Emperor have quite a few feelings towards you..."

After a pause, Yao Xuanji added, "This is what Su Su said, and it was she who told the Great Wilderness Sage that you are inside the Dao Cauldron."

Lin Chen smiled wryly: "So, I've shown my face in front of a saint?"

Chu Jiaxue laughed and said, "Now that you have rescued the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord, you are destined to become famous. After all, the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord was captured in full view of everyone. Even if they don't mention it, you will still become famous when the matter is exposed later. You can't escape it."

Lin Chen said helplessly, "I hope the Demon Emperor and his disciples won't come after me. I'm too weak to handle this."

Nalan Wushuang laughed and said, "They were just saying that. After all, with their strength, they were humiliated in front of a junior like you. But now that the human and demon races have joined forces, and you even saved the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord, you have made a great contribution. With the Immortal Emperor and the Great Wilderness Saint protecting you, the Demon Emperor and the others can't do anything to you."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. We're just a nobody, we can't afford to offend them."

After a pause, Lin Chen smiled and said, "Alright, Seven-Colored Immortal Lord is probably quite anxious inside the Dao Cauldron. I'll release him first and handle the follow-up matters."

Chu Jiaxue smiled and said, "Okay, let's go out first. You can take care of your business first. I think the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord certainly wouldn't want us to see him in such a disheveled state."

After the women left, Lin Chen summoned the Dao Cauldron, which emitted golden light, and the figure of the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord appeared within the golden light. The Seven-Colored Immortal Lord immediately spotted the tables and chairs in the tent, and her face lit up with surprise.

"Escaped?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "That's right. My clone, carrying a large number of explosive magical artifacts, rushed straight to the purple crystal pillar, blasting it to the side and tearing apart the spatial array. I then took the opportunity to use my supernatural powers to jump away. We are now in the allied forces' temporary camp, and we are safe."

The Seven-Colored Immortal Lord exhaled, his face beaming with excitement: "Lin Chen, you're truly amazing! You actually managed to escape from the Demon Lord's clutches. I owe you my life!"

Lin Chen humbly replied, "Immortal Lord is kind-hearted and lent me the Dao Cauldron for cultivation. This is the cause, which led to our successful escape together. If Immortal Lord had not gathered such comprehensive information about the surrounding area, I might not have been able to escape so easily."

After a pause, Lin Chen smiled and said, "The Immortal Lord's entire body is sealed. This is the Demon Lord's method, which I cannot unseal. I'm afraid we'll need to ask a Sage for help."

Seven-Colored Immortal Lord laughed and said, "I was captured, and my master must have been very worried. Now that I have been freed, I should naturally pay my respects to my master as soon as possible. I am now a cripple, so I will trouble you to take me to see my master."

To meet a sage?

After a slight hesitation, Lin Chen readily agreed, then pointed to the Dao cauldron floating in the air: "Alright, then this Dao cauldron..."

The Seven-Colored Immortal looked up at the Dao Cauldron, his gaze somewhat complicated: "I was able to escape this predicament entirely thanks to this Dao Cauldron. Now that you have refined the Dao Cauldron, I will give it to you as a token of my gratitude."

Lin Chen was taken aback: "Immortal Lord, this Dao Cauldron is an innate spiritual treasure, and it is your beloved possession. How can I take away what others cherish?"

Since the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord had already made his decision, he stopped hesitating and directly declared, "If it weren't for you, I would have lost my life. Although the Dao Cauldron is valuable, it is still not as valuable as my life. My strength has reached its peak, and the Dao Cauldron is just a pill-refining furnace in my hands. It is not of any other great use."

“Although you have already reached the peak of the Great Luo realm, your several wives must have some needs, and you are also an alchemist. This cauldron can be put to use in your hands, so it is not a waste.”

"That's settled then. No need to dwell on it. It's just a treasure, an external possession, not worth mentioning."

Since the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord had said so, Lin Chen naturally did not refuse. After all, as he said, although he had already reached the peak of the Great Luo realm, he could still rely on the people around him.

A primordial spiritual treasure, that's a really good thing!

Lin Chen thanked him, saying, "In that case, I won't stand on ceremony. Thank you, Immortal Lord!"

Seven-Colored Immortal Lord smiled and patted Lin Chen on the shoulder: "I wanted to recruit you before, but I never expected that one day my life would be saved because of you. Perhaps this is our fate. Calling you my benefactor is too formal. Let's be friends from now on."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Immortal Lords hold such a prestigious position, I am truly honored to be associated with them."

The Seven-Colored Immortal Lord laughed and said, "Respect? I haven't seen a single bit of 'respect' in your eyes since I've known you. Let's skip the formalities."

Lin Chen smiled awkwardly: "I still have great respect for the three Immortal Lords."

What the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord said was true. Although the three immortal lords held high positions, Lin Chen did not have any particular respect for them.

They simply have a powerful master and are a bit stronger. They should cultivate their own immortality and not envy others or try to force themselves to follow them.
But was I making it that obvious?
