The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1029: Resurrecting a Soul from a Borrowed Corpse
"She must have been resurrected in another's body."

Nalan Wushuang's tone was somewhat complicated: "The conditions for possession are much more complicated, and it is not always 100% successful. Moreover, most importantly, if possession is successful, her primordial spirit and body become one, and she will be unable to separate her primordial spirit from her body for a long time, and will be unable to possess again."

Lin Chen didn't know much about these things, so he asked, "She possessed a corpse?"

"should be."

Nalan Wushuang explained, "Corpses have no resistance to the primordial spirit. It's like an unlocked empty house. Anyone can go in and live there. But the person who goes in is not the rightful owner of the house. So over time, they will be rejected by the house. And as the body's condition worsens, the rejection will become more and more severe."

"According to you, her primordial spirit was almost disintegrating at that time. Under such circumstances, if she wanted to survive and possession was impossible, then she could only find a corpse to temporarily live in."

Lin Chen suddenly realized: "If she's living inside a corpse, can't she just merge with it directly?"

"can."

Nalan Wushuang answered affirmatively, "But she won't. It's obvious that she's used to being a woman and wouldn't accept living in a man's body, especially a middle-aged man. So I'm sure she's just temporarily using that corpse to find me."

Lin Chen sighed: "Find you, then possess you?"

Nalan Wushuang nodded: "Probably. As long as she finds me and puts me in a coma, unable to resist, she can leave the corpse she's been using, enter my body, and complete the possession and rebirth."

Lin Chen looked at Nalan Wushuang with a hint of sympathy: "Since she has already met the Demon Emperor, and now the entire demon race is looking for you, doesn't that mean the Demon Emperor has already agreed to let her possess you?"

Nalan Wushuang's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion: "Perhaps."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Since you don't want to, then just wander around outside. When her corpse has decomposed and she can no longer possess you, then you can go back."

Nalan Wushuang nodded: "For now, this is the only way to do it."

Lin Chen comforted her, "Don't be upset. As the Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan, you were so busy before. Now that you have some free time, it's a good time to relax. Look at me, how carefree I am."

Nalan Wushuang stared at Lin Chen: "You seem to really enjoy the life of an ordinary person..."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "Ordinary people's lives are pretty good. Cultivating immortality is all about enjoying life better and more. It's so boring to be in seclusion all day long, meditating and cultivating."

After a pause, Lin Chen suggested, "I've noticed you've been quite bored lately, and your mind is unsettled. Now that the news is confirmed, you shouldn't overthink things. Find something to do, whether it's cultivation or something else, to keep yourself busy and prevent your mind from wandering."

Nalan Wushuang nodded: "Alright!"

No secret stays hidden forever. The news that the Human Emperor's Seal had recognized Lin Chen and that he had abducted the Demon Clan's Holy Maiden finally reached the Central Divine Continent and the Eastern Emperor Continent, and then rapidly spread to the other states. In a short time, the news that Lin Chen had officially become the new Human Emperor spread throughout the entire Savage Realm.

Penglai.

Chen Meifeng entered Chu Jiaxue's cave, her face full of concern: "Jiaxue, how is your cultivation of the Heart Sutra of the Maiden of Enchantment going? Is it progressing smoothly?"

Chu Jiaxue replied respectfully, "It's going very smoothly, and progressing very quickly."

Chen Meifeng nodded in satisfaction: "Now that you have officially taken over the identity of the Son of Penglai, you are the representative of the younger generation of Penglai and the future of Penglai. You must continue to work hard and not relax."

Chu Jiaxue nodded: "I will do my best."

Chen Meifeng looked at Chu Jiaxue's face and chuckled, "I came here today because I heard some news that I felt I needed to tell you..."

Chu Jiaxue's eyes lit up immediately, with a hint of anticipation: "About Lin Chen?"

Chen Meifeng couldn't help but chuckle: "You're quite clever."

Chu Jiaxue's cold expression instantly melted away, replaced by a look of happy anticipation: "What's he up to now?"

Chen Meifeng smiled and said, "News came from Dongpeng Prefecture that Lin Chen has been recognized by the Human Emperor Seal and has officially become the new Human Emperor."

Chu Jiaxue's eyes widened, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Really? That's wonderful! But how did this news come from the demon race in Dongpeng Prefecture..."

Chen Meifeng laughed and said, "Because he kidnapped the Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan, that is, the naturally born Daoist fox demon Nalan Wushuang, and now all the demons in the world are looking for him."

Chu Jiaxue looked astonished: "They kidnapped the Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan?"

Chen Meifeng nodded: "That's the news, but the specific reason is unknown. Moreover, Lin Chen's whereabouts have been a mystery since he kidnapped Nalan Wushuang, and he has not been seen since."

Chu Jiaxue's expression was slightly strange: "Since the demon race is looking for them, they should be fine. They're probably hiding somewhere."

How did this guy end up with the demon saintess again?

Abducted?

The Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan was born with a Dao Body and possessed the power of the Azure Sea Tide Phenomenon. Has he become that powerful now?
Looks like I need to work harder!
