The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 708 What do you have to offer me in our negotiations?

Situ Xiu's expression changed drastically: "You're not keeping your word?"

The bearded man laughed heartily: "How could you go back on your word? I, Chen Yidao, keep my word. If I said I'd kill your whole family, I absolutely wouldn't leave anyone out. Our deal was two million spirit stones in exchange for the hostages. Look, now I've not only let the hostages go, but I've also given them a boat. Am I generous enough? The first deal has been successfully completed. Now let's talk about the second deal..."

Situ Xiu coldly replied, "How so?"

The bearded man, Chen Yidao, said with a smile, "The Situ family's business is quite large, making a fortune every day. You are the young master of the Situ family, so you should be worth a lot of money. Now we need to discuss how many spirit stones you are worth?"

Situ Xiu replied in a deep voice, "I only have two million spirit stones on me, not a single one more."

Chen Yidao said slowly and deliberately, "No rush, no rush. You may not have money on you, but do you have any at home? Just based on your status as Young Master Situ, asking for 20 million spirit stones isn't unreasonable, is it? Don't worry, things will be simpler this time. I'll send a little brother to the Situ family to get the spirit stones. If you get the spirit stones and return safely, you can go home safely. If you don't get the spirit stones, then I'll carry you back one arm at a time."

Situ Xiu gritted her teeth: "Shameless!"

Chen Yidao laughed loudly: "We are sky pirates, do you expect us to reason with you? You foolishly delivered yourself to our doorstep, if I don't make a profit, wouldn't I be a fool?"

The surrounding bandits burst into laughter, each one looking smug. After all, they had to scout, follow, rob, and kidnap before they could earn four or five million spirit stones. Divided among so many people, each person would only earn about two hundred thousand spirit stones. But now that Situ Xiu had delivered himself to their doorstep, wasn't this like giving away twenty million spirit stones for free?
Everyone can get hundreds of thousands of spirit stones for free, how can they not be happy?
That's a huge sum of money!
Most of them were at the Golden Core stage, but earning a million spirit stones was no easy feat.

Lin Chen sold such a large quantity of spiritual herbs, but only earned a little over a million spirit stones. Normally, it would be virtually impossible for one person to find so many spiritual herbs in a secret realm or the wilderness. Finding even a few would be considered lucky.

Didn't you see that Liu Ruqing, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, could only come up with a few hundred thousand spirit stones?
Spirit stones are hard to come by!
Lin Chen, who had been observing from the sidelines, said in a deep voice, "It's always better to be a person of integrity. You've already earned several million spirit stones, why be so greedy?"

Chen Yidao's gaze fell on Lin Chen, and he laughed loudly: "You can come with him, so you obviously have some strength. You should be at the Golden Core stage, right? But so what if you're at the Golden Core stage? I have seven or eight Golden Core stage cultivators here. Just surrender obediently. As long as the Situ family gives you enough spirit stones, I will naturally let you go back. Otherwise, I don't mind just killing you and running away."

Lin Chen suddenly laughed: "So there's nothing to talk about then?"

Chen Yidao sneered: "Talk? You'd better be qualified. You're all meat on my chopping block right now. What do you have to offer me for talking?"

Lin Chen gestured with his chin toward the crowd behind him: "Don't you all think about it? If we weren't prepared, would we have come here so swaggeringly? Look, who's that?" The faces of all the air pirates changed, and they subconsciously turned around to look behind them, because Lin Chen's words made perfect sense.

Behind them was nothing but emptiness, while in front of them, a violent surge of spiritual energy erupted.

be cheated!
Everyone turned around and saw that Lin Chen was holding an ancient bronze mirror. A chilling aura, like an ice storm, was surging out of the bronze mirror and enveloping everyone.

At the same time, Mei Nu floated out of the bag at Lin Chen's waist and landed directly on the ground. As soon as her tiny roots touched the ground, they grew wildly and penetrated deep into the earth. On the ground, the vines also extended wildly at a visible speed.

The quick-reacting air pirates had already activated their defensive magical artifacts or treasures, and their spiritual energy shields quickly enveloped them. The slower ones, before they could even understand what was happening, were instantly covered by the ice storm.

The bodies of these people were instantly frozen into ice blocks. Their bodies lost temperature instantly and they fell into a coma, collapsing like felled tree stumps.

On that day, when Su Mubai was hit on the edge of the Snow Dragon Leopard King's icy breath, he was instantly frozen and fell unconscious. The power of the ice storm released by the Water and Fire Mirror was no less than that of the Snow Dragon Leopard King's icy breath. How could these people withstand it?

The air pirates were thrown into chaos in an instant.

A cyan protective shield appeared on Chen Yidao's body, and he retreated rapidly backward. He barely managed to dodge Lin Chen's attack, but a layer of ice flowers instantly formed on his body.

Chen Yidao turned around and his pupils suddenly contracted.

In just one move, six or seven of his men died, including two Golden Core cultivators!
What a terrifying magical artifact!

Chen Yidao's gaze fell on the mirror Lin Chen was holding. Suddenly, he thought of something, and his expression changed abruptly. First, he was surprised, and then he was overjoyed.

"Water and Fire Mirror! Haha, I've really struck it rich today!"
