The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 869 Brother, do you want to come along?

Lin Chen held the Water-Fire Mirror, checking the amount of essence inside, and finally looked distressed.

"The essence of the five elements, even a wisp of it is as heavy as a mountain. Just now, in order to save my life, I spat out at least a quarter of my stored essence. So much of the essence of the five elements, it's equivalent to how many towering peaks were smashed down on her. She's lucky she didn't die. It's too heartbreaking."

Gu Yuexi comforted her, "Although we used it, at least we escaped another disaster. If it weren't for it, we probably wouldn't have been able to escape. That woman was so fast; she must be incredibly strong."

Lin Chen's expression was solemn: "Just from the momentum of that attack, and his speed, I think even the Crimson Dragon King might not be able to compare to her. How could such a powerful cultivator appear in Death Valley?"

The observant Gu Yuexi said, "What she just said, 'Those who trespass into Death Valley will die,' means that she must be a part of Death Valley, a guardian of Death Valley..."

Lin Chen came to his senses: "That's right, that tone of voice is indeed like that. How could a human cultivator become a guardian of Death Valley? Was that middle-aged man also one? Then why didn't he kill us?"

Gu Yuexi thought for a moment and said, "The woman in white has bloodshot eyes, while the middle-aged man's eyes, though blank and dazed, don't appear bloodshot. I think the woman in white is probably a guard controlled by Death Valley, while the middle-aged man isn't..."

Lin Chen sighed with lingering fear, "This Valley of Death truly lives up to its reputation. Not to mention the ferocious monsters and the undead, this woman in white alone is enough to kill any outsider. I wonder if there are any other beings like her. It's terrifying."

Should we continue eastward?

Lin Chen nodded: "I'm even more convinced now that heading east was the right decision. If I'm not mistaken, we just came out of the central area of ​​Death Valley. The woman in white was a guard; her intention was probably to prevent outsiders from entering..."

“If we are now deep inside, there is no reason for her to fly back. She would definitely continue to hunt us down, or warn others. She went back, perhaps because we are far from the central area, so it is no longer her responsibility to hunt us down.”

Gu Yuexi's eyes lit up: "So, we're already far from danger?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "You'll know after walking around a bit more."

The two continued eastward, encountering numerous demonic beasts along the way, all of which attacked them without a word.

Lin Chen didn't fight; he just kept running away.

The power of the great secret technique was now fully revealed. Although the monsters were very strong, they could not keep up with Lin Chen's speed and were left behind.

After all, when Lin Chen first learned Shrinking Earth to an Inch, he was chased by Daoist Lu. Despite his Nascent Soul stage strength, Daoist Lu kited him all the way to Jade Peak City. Now that he has reached the Nascent Soul stage, he has a deeper understanding of Shrinking Earth to an Inch, and ordinary demonic beasts can no longer catch him.

Their life-saving technique was indeed extraordinary. The two of them led the countless pursuing demonic beasts on a wild run, flying hundreds of miles until finally, no more demonic beasts chased them.

Although they still encountered monsters, these monsters had developed intelligence and no longer attacked them frantically or chased them recklessly as before.

"We have left Death Valley."

Lin Chen watched as a frightened beast ran away and laughed happily: "The beasts of Death Valley have no qualms or reason when it comes to outsiders. They will never run away before they die."

Gu Yuexi said happily, "We've had such a tough time! First, we were chased by the Crimson Dragon King, then we were almost trapped to death in the Five Elements Immortal Palace. After finally escaping, we fell into the center of Death Valley and encountered such terrifying guards..."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "It was indeed very dangerous and difficult, but it also shows that we were really lucky. Otherwise, we would have died a thousand times over."

Gu Yuexi nodded: "Let's go find a city. All I want right now is to take a good shower and get a good night's sleep in a safe human city."

"go!"

The two continued flying eastward, and on the way they encountered a pair of cultivators. After inquiring about the location of the nearest city, the two finally arrived at the human city called Giant Wave City before nightfall.

The two entered the city and stayed at an inn.

one room.

Since they got together, Gu Yuexi had always wanted to lie on the bed with Lin Chen in her arms, chat quietly, and then sleep peacefully in Lin Chen's arms.

Such a simple thing, yet it only came to fruition today.

Even though there were only two people in the Five Elements Immortal Palace, with their future uncertain and their lives hanging in the balance, both of them were diligently cultivating and trying to absorb as much of the Five Elements essence as possible. Where was there any peace of mind to chat?

Bathwater was brought into the room, into a huge tub, steaming hot.

Gu Yuexi said with a grin, "Brother, do you want to come along?"
