The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1092 Friends in adversity, why bother about status?
Yelü Yuan and Gao Yi were both stunned.

"This is amazing! It's actually a fragment of the magic weapon you have, and it even repaired itself..."

"Then your Water and Fire Mirror, is it a celestial artifact?"

Is it a celestial artifact?

Lin Chen didn't know the answer either.

"Let's go back to Xingyuan City."

Half a month later, Lin Chen and his group arrived in Xingyuan City.

Nalan Wushuang was very surprised to see that Lin Chen had brought the entire Vajra Bandit Gang.

"Why are they here?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "They made a fortune and have given up their business. From now on, they will help take care of Xingyuan City."

Nanan Wushuang's eyes lit up: "You're planning to leave?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, I have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, and the safety of the people here is guaranteed. There is no need for us to stay here any longer."

Nalan Wushuang asked, "Then...you're going back to Nanyue?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Want to come along?"

Nanan Wushuang didn't answer, but instead brought up another matter: "A few days ago, ten cities on the border of Zhongshenzhou fell into the hands of the demon race..."

Lin Chen frowned: "The demon race has invaded?"

Nalan Wushuang nodded: "They are making progress, but those cities don't have many people, and because of their geographical proximity to Dongpeng Prefecture, they don't have any powerful cultivators to guard them. They are some remote cities that have fallen into the hands of the demon race. Although this matter has spread, the human race hasn't reacted much..."

Lin Chen stared into Nalan Wushuang's eyes: "Why are you telling me this?"

Nalan Wushuang's gaze remained calm: "Because you are the Human Emperor, and the matter has already occurred, even if I didn't tell you, you would have found out sooner or later."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I, the Human Emperor, am not capable of retaking those cities. Did they massacre the inhabitants after they occupied them?"

Nalan Wushuang shook her head: "When the demon race occupies a city, humans are all subjects that can be enslaved. Only a brainless warmonger would think of massacring a city."

Lin Chen asked, "You are the Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan, you should know something about the Demon Clan's future plans, right?"

Nalan Wushuang shook her head and said, "The Demon Emperor won't start a major war until his strength is fully recovered. I don't know who orchestrated this operation..."

"Could it be the Demon Ancestor?"

Lin Chen tentatively asked, "I'm curious, given the Demon Ancestor's high status, does the entire demon race listen to her or the Demon Emperor?" Nalan Wushuang shook her head: "Naturally, it's the Demon Emperor, but the Demon Ancestor's opinion will definitely be taken very seriously by the Demon Emperor."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. I'm just a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages. Even if I worry, it won't do any good... Will you come with me?"

Lin Chen was speaking from the heart. Even if the demon race occupied ten cities, or even if they advanced their forces and occupied the entire Central Divine Continent, Lin Chen would still be able to do whatever he wanted.

There are so many powerful people in the world, even if they used a wheel, it wouldn't be his turn, a mere early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Human Emperor?

A human emperor without sufficient strength is nothing.

Strive to cultivate yourself and strengthen yourself; this is what Lin Chen should truly be doing.

Nanan Wushuang shook his head: "No."

Lin Chen frowned: "Are you planning to go back?"

Nanan Wushuang nodded: "I've thought a lot about this lately. I don't want to run away anymore. Some things need to be resolved eventually. Procrastination will never solve anything."

Lin Chen stared into Na Nan Wushuang's beautiful eyes: "Aren't you afraid of having your body taken over?"

Nanan Wushuang laughed and said, "I said I wanted to go back, but I didn't say I wanted to go back and face the Demon Ancestor directly. Although I love the demon race, I don't want to die, and I don't want my body to be used by another person."

Lin Chen pressed further, "Are you planning to go back to see the Demon Emperor?"

Nanan Wushuang nodded: "I will ask the Demon Emperor for his opinion before deciding what to do."

Lin Chen nodded and said, "If you want to go back, I won't stop you, but promise me you won't be possessed by the Demon Ancestor."

Nalan Wushuang replied firmly, "You can rest assured about that. I will not give her any chance to possess me."

Lin Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Then be careful. If you encounter any danger, or if the Demon Emperor's answer disappoints you, then go back to Xingyuan City or come to Hengshan in Nanyue to find me."

Nalan Wushuang's face showed a complicated expression: "So, in the end, the safety of the demon race's holy maiden has to rely on the human race for protection?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "We've been through thick and thin together, so why bother with social status?"

Friends in times of trouble?

Looking at Lin Chen's cheerful smile, Nanan Wushuang subconsciously recalled the scenes of how she and Lin Chen met and got along, and a bright smile also appeared on her face.

"Okay, if I ever find myself in dire straits, I'll come to you for help."
