The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1577 You knew all along that we had ill intentions?

Cuihong pouted: "Next time I'll play the aloof young lady, and you'll play the maid!"

Liu Yuqi said with a smile, "You're dressed as a young lady, with a long face and not saying a word. Who would want to talk to us except for those lecherous bastards?"

Cuihong snorted, unable to refute, and then turned her gaze to the unconscious Lin Chen: "Kill him?"

"It's just washing dishes for a few days, is it really that big of a deal?"

Liu Yuqi walked to the pavilion and looked at Lin Chen on the bed with a smile: "We are here to make money, why would we kill someone? I don't want to be on that list of murderers. Besides, Young Master Lin has cooked us a lot of delicious food these past few days. After eating his food, shouldn't we wash the dishes or something? To kill him for that is just not a conscience."

Cuihong sneered, "You make it sound like you're a soft-hearted, weak woman. When it comes to killing, you're much quicker than me."

Liu Yuqi said with a smile, "Those lecherous devils are complete scoundrels. I killed them to rid the people of a scourge. After all, I only asked them to take care of me, but I never said that I would have to sleep with them as a price."

Cuihong looked up at the sky: "Judging by the time, the Golden-Winged Roc will be back soon. Prepare the bait."

Liu Yuqi laughed and said, "Don't worry, it will definitely not be able to resist the temptation. I put in ten times the dosage. I don't believe the medicine won't overpower it. Even if it doesn't faint, as long as its reaction is a little slow, that's enough. Once it puts on the Ruyi Ring, no matter how powerful it is, it will have to obey!"

Cuihong's eyes lit up with joy: "Such a Golden-Winged Roc can probably fetch a fortune, we'll be rich!"

After a pause, Cuihong turned to Lin Chen and said, "For safety's sake, let's take his spatial ring first."

Cuihong walked into the pavilion, stood in front of Lin Chen, and reached out to grab the spatial ring on Lin Chen's finger.

Just as Cuihong's hand was about to touch the spatial ring, Lin Chen's hand suddenly retracted like a snake, then made a strange turn, avoiding Cuihong's hand and stabbing towards Cuihong's shoulder.

Sword energy burst forth from between his fingers, sharp and incomparable.

Cuihong never expected that Lin Chen would not faint. Fortunately, she still maintained a degree of vigilance. Seeing that things were not going well, she instantly activated the magical barrier on the pendant.

The sword energy struck the barrier directly, then broke through it and pierced her shoulder once more.

Cuihong retreated rapidly, her face filled with shock and anger: "You didn't faint!"

Liu Yuqi was also taken aback. She suppressed her smile, waved her hand, and a black ruler appeared in front of her as she looked at Lin Chen warily.

"Cuihong, are you alright?"

Cuihong glanced at the pierced shoulder, her small face cold: "The shoulder has been pierced, but it's not a big problem."

Lin Chen smiled: "Although you were resentful towards me and had murderous intent, you ultimately did not make a move. Otherwise, the sword energy would not have pierced your shoulder, but your heart." Cui Hong gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with shock and anger, but she also knew that if Lin Chen had suddenly attacked and really aimed at her heart, she might not have been able to dodge it.

With a plan in mind and no one on their own, how could they possibly stop each other at such close range?

"You showed me mercy, but do you know if I will show you mercy now?"

Lin Chen flipped himself up, stepped out of the pavilion, and with a spell cast, the pavilion shrank and flew into Lin Chen's hand.

"This thing is quite useful for getting around, so be careful not to break it."

Cuihong looked at Lin Chen unhurriedly, a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Are you stalling for time, waiting for the Golden-Winged Roc to return?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It didn't come back because I prevented it from coming back. If I wanted it to come back, it would naturally come back immediately."

As Lin Chen spoke, a sudden gust of wind blew through the sky. Xiao Jin's enormous figure, like a ghost, instantly streaked across the sky and arrived above everyone's heads. Then, in a gust of wind, it landed behind Lin Chen.

Liu Yuqi's expression had returned to calm: "You clearly drank the beverage I spiked, so why didn't you pass out?"

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "I am an alchemist. If I can't even distinguish the taste of Three-Day Intoxication, then all the pills I've refined have been in vain, haven't they?"

"Alchemist?"

Liu Yuqi was stunned: "I didn't hear you say that."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Would you reveal all your secrets to two people of unknown origin and with ill intentions?"

Liu Yuqi frowned: "You knew from the beginning that we had ill intentions?"

Lin Chen stared at Cuihong with a smile: "You praise the maid for being diligent but not good with words and not liking to talk, but I really don't see where she is diligent. She needs you to tell her what to do. She has no sense of propriety. Moreover, when she does things, it is obvious that she does not usually do them. She is not skilled at all and has a little bit of a temper. It is a miracle that such a maid has not been beaten to death by the master."

Cuihong's face flushed red instantly. After all that, it was she who had given herself away!
The other party sensed something was wrong from the beginning, but just didn't say anything!

The thought that she had already been exposed, yet still had to pretend to be a maid in front of others, made Cuihong feel like she wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it.

What a shame!
