The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 999 How about I lend you the Water and Fire Mirror, and you help her?

Lin Chen's gaze fell upon the ground and the distant mountain peaks, all of which were black rocks. He saw no green plants or any signs of life.

Looking into the distance, it stretches as far as the eye can see.

Lin Chen withdrew his gaze and landed on Jiang Rukong, and was immediately startled.

Jiang Rukong was covered in blood and looked very miserable.

Lin Chen knew very well that this was the result of being torn apart by the power of the void. If he had left earlier, perhaps he wouldn't have suffered so much. However, in order to prevent "her" from being sensed by the immortal's primordial spirit avatar, he endured it until his body could no longer hold on and he finally fell out.

"Senior Jiang, are you alright?"

Jiang Rukong replied weakly, "We've escaped far enough now, we should be fine. Let's find a place to rest."

"it is good!"

Lin Chen helped Jiang Rukong up, found a sheltered spot, and helped him sit down against the wall.

Lin Chen took out the spiritual spring water and sprinkled it on Jiang Rukong's wound. Soon, the bleeding stopped.

Lin Chen fed Jiang Rukong a few more healing pills, and Jiang Rukong's breathing immediately became stable, and she directly fell into a dormant state.

Lin Chen's gaze fell on the beautiful hand resting on his shoulder, and his feelings became complicated.

Exploring Death Valley came at such a high price, yet this "fairy arm" ended up staying with me.

Am I considered a hostage?
Lin Chen thought for a moment and said softly, "Hello, Immortal Lady. Can you understand me?"

She raised her slender index finger and gently hooked it.

Shouldn't that be considered a nod?

Lin Chen continued, "Why did you come to me?"

She pointed her slender index finger at the spatial ring on Lin Chen's right hand.

Lin Chen guessed, "Could it be related to the blood-red mist I released corroding the barrier?"

She beckoned with her slender index finger again.

Lin Chen immediately became a little nervous: "I ran so far, and you chased after me all the way here. Now you've brought me here with you. What do you want me to do?"

The arm flew up and hovered in front of Lin Chen, pointing to Lin Chen's head, then his body, then his left arm, and then his legs.

Lin Chen opened his eyes wide, his expression strange.

He understood what the other person meant.

"You want me to use the collected blood mist to help you find your other body parts, break the seal, and let them escape, is that right?"

He beckoned with his finger again. Lin Chen was speechless.

"I'm just a Nascent Soul cultivator, while you're all fighting among immortals. No matter who it is, they could kill me with a single finger. How could I possibly help?"

She ignored Lin Chen and instead flew back to his shoulder, resting it on him again, giving off a somewhat cuddly vibe.

Lin Chen felt immense pressure. Don't underestimate her just because she only has one hand; if she wanted to kill him with that hand, it would only take a moment.

Judging from her attitude, she was clearly clinging to him, or rather, she wasn't worried at all that he would refuse, because his life was in her hands.

If she wants to die, then she has to die.

In order to survive, he had no choice but to obey her orders.

Lin Chen was also quite tired. After all, crossing the void path and being pulled by the power of the void could be fatal.

Since she stopped communicating, Lin Chen made up his mind, stopped caring, and focused on taking medication to recover.

Once Jiang Rukong recovers, we'll talk to him and see if we can get more information.

Two days passed before Jiang Rukong finally woke up.

Jiang Rukong's scars have begun to heal, but she is still very weak.

"Senior Jiang, can you tell me about what's going on between you and her?"

Jiang Rukong glanced at the arm on Lin Chen's shoulder and shook her head: "I can't remember many things. I only vaguely remember that she saved my life and granted me immortality. After that, I can't remember anything else..."

Lin Chen was very disappointed, as he had originally planned to get some new clues from Jiang Rukong.

Even if you're going to risk your life, you should at least know what's going on.

"She wants me to help her find other sealed bodies and find a way to break the seal, but with my strength, let alone the primordial spirit avatar of that immortal, I'm no match for even a powerful cultivator or demon beast..."

Jiang Rukong pressed his temples, seemingly thinking. After a while, he said, "I vaguely remember that she was a very good person. If you help her sincerely, she will definitely not treat you unfairly."

A very good person?

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "You are so powerful, you should at least be a half-immortal. Since she helped you before, why don't you help her? I will lend you the Water-Fire Mirror that stores blood mist. You can return it to me after you're done using it. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"

Jiang Rukong shook her head: "No, I'm sick, I can't be lucid for long."

Lin Chen was speechless for a moment. Was this even a reason?
Before Lin Chen could figure out how to respond, Jiang Rukong changed the subject: "I remember you learned how to shrink the earth to an inch, right?"

Lin Chen nodded and took out the iron plate: "I learned from this, but I feel that it's far inferior to yours. Can you tell me why?"
