The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 673 Master-Servant Contract
"A nine-rank lotus platform!"

Qiao Wei stared in astonishment at the perfect, top-grade spiritual herb before her, her expression a mixture of shock and delight.

The lotus platform itself is an extremely rare medicinal herb, let alone a nine-grade lotus platform that takes a thousand years to grow.

Lin Chen's luck is just too strong.

How could I possibly run into that?

Qiao Wei examined it for a few moments and then smiled, "You're lucky. This ninth-grade lotus platform is a top-tier spiritual herb. If it's combined with other herbs and refined into a pill, it should greatly increase your strength and raise your rank by one level. You're just giving it to me like this? Are you really willing to part with it?"

Lin Chen's eyes remained calm and unwavering as he smiled and said, "My senior sister and I are not related, yet she was willing to pass on her unique skills to me. What is there for me to be reluctant about a mere ninth-grade lotus platform?"

Qiao Wei hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Originally, it should have been me, as your senior sister, giving you a gift, but it turned out the other way around. I came in here partly to protect you and partly to find some important items. This ninth-grade lotus platform is of great use to me and is something that can only be found by chance, so I will accept it without hesitation."

Qiao Wei didn't want to accept it, but as she said, this thing was truly a rare find and would be of great help to her.

Lin Chen is only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, and his cultivation level is still low. If we want to help Lin Chen improve his strength, there are other pills or methods to replace them. It would be a waste for him to use the Ninth Grade Lotus Platform to improve his strength.

Qiao Wei accepted his Ninth-Rank Lotus Platform, so she would naturally make up for it in other ways. As a senior sister, how could she let a junior brother who had just entered the world of cultivation suffer a loss?
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Senior sister, please don't be so polite with me. I've also obtained quite a few spiritual herbs. It's enough for me to refine pills for myself."

Qiao Wei asked in surprise, "Quite a lot? Are you that lucky?"

Lin Chen couldn't talk about the Life Pearl, so he just smiled and said, "I was really lucky. When I was still in the mortal world, I had dealt with cultivators several times and gained a lot of benefits."

Qiao Wei smiled and said, "That's a good thing. Luck is very mysterious. As long as a cultivator has luck, even if their talent is a little lacking, they can eventually achieve great things."

Qiao Wei pulled out the Vajra Vine possessed by the tree demon from her bag and said with a smile, "Let me give you a little something too."

Lin Chen looked curiously at the tiny vine seedling and asked, "What is this?"

Qiao Wei casually released the seal she had placed earlier: "After I destroyed the tree demon's main body, its nascent soul escaped and possessed this Vajra Vine. I caught it then. Although it's weak now, it's still a nascent soul. Given time and some help, it can quickly recover its strength and become your helper." Lin Chen's eyes widened in surprise.

This tree demon is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage!
Even though her physical body was destroyed, her nascent soul was still there. As long as the conditions were right, she could recover to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul realm in no time!

Lin Chen was overjoyed but also a little worried: "She's at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, while I'm only at the early Golden Core stage. I can suppress her now, but her strength has recovered..."

Qiao Wei looked down at the vine in her hand and coldly said, "Now you have two choices: either your soul is scattered and you disappear completely, or you offer up your true soul and sign a master-servant contract. Choose one!"

The master-servant contract stipulates that if the master dies, the servant can be killed with a single thought, and no matter how powerful the servant is, even with extraordinary abilities, he will die instantly. Furthermore, if the master dies, the servant must also die. This means that the servant must unconditionally obey the master's orders and risk his life to protect the master.

The servant can only live if the master lives.

The tree spirit swiftly and decisively chose to submit: "I am willing to sign the contract."

Even the most unfair master-servant contract to demons means that they are still alive, but once they die, they have nothing left!
The tree demon had grown for thousands of years and, with some fortuitous encounters, finally evolved intelligence. Having finally reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, how could she be willing to die?
A green light flashed from the Vajra vine seedling. Qiao Wei reached out and slapped Lin Chen on the forehead: "Open your heart!"

Qiao Wei's fingers glowed as she touched Lin Chen's forehead.

Lin Chen felt his mind go blank, and in an instant, it was as if another consciousness had appeared—the true soul of the tree demon.

Regardless of its opinion of Lin Chen, the tree spirit voluntarily offered its true soul to sign a master-servant contract. From then on, the tree spirit became Lin Chen's servant and had to obey Lin Chen's commands, unless it wanted to die.

Qiao Wei handed the vine seedling to Lin Chen: "She has just completed her possession and is currently very weak. After a while, once the fusion is complete, she will have a certain combat power. However, to restore her original state, she needs a lot of resources. If you have extra cultivation resources, you can use them to feed her and help her improve as quickly as possible. With the master-servant contract, no matter how strong she is, you don't have to worry about her turning against you."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "What about spiritual herbs or something similar?"

Qiao Wei replied, "Of course. Although she is a demon, she is not much different from a cultivator. She doesn't even need to refine spiritual herbs; you can just give them to her directly."

Lin Chen was overjoyed. We may not have other things, but we have plenty of spiritual herbs, right?
