The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1618 Principles: Just listen to them!
"King of Pills".

Lin Chen smiled as he looked at Jin Buhuan and repeated, "The first place winner of the latest Pill King Competition in the Cloud Sky Continent."

Jin Buhuan's eyes shone even brighter: "Brother Lin, you've been hiding this really well!"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I didn't hide anything, and you didn't ask."

Jin Buhuan chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, it was my oversight, brother."

Lin Chen's gaze fell on the tall, thin man outside, and he said softly, "This guy has been chasing me for thousands of miles. Brother Jin, if you help me get rid of him, I'll owe you a favor, how about it?"

Jin Buhuan said righteously, "Brother Lin, you're too kind. Now that you're on the Freedom and have items to trade, you're a guest of the Freedom, and the Freedom will naturally guarantee your safety."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Thank you, brother!"

Jin Buhuan turned his head and said to the tall, thin man with a stern face, "The Freedom will not interfere with the feud between you and Lin Chen, but the Freedom will guarantee the safety of the trading personnel on board, and we on the Freedom will never do anything that violates our principles."

"Our Freedom has dealt with your Heavenly Dao Alliance before. We've kept to ourselves and let's live in peace. Please leave."

The tall, thin man pondered for a moment: "I also have something to sell. May we discuss it aboard?"

Jin Buhuan frowned and said, "Of course, but in order to protect the security and privacy of the transaction, there is no need for anyone else to be present for the transaction between Lin Chen and the Freedom. I will send someone else to conduct the transaction with you. Simply put, even if you board the ship, you will not meet."

"If you still harbor any thoughts of resorting to violence on the ship, I advise you to think twice before you act. The last celestial being who resorted to violence on the ship is still in shackles, working in the bottom of the cabin."

Lin Chen's brow twitched. "Holy crap, is the Freedom really that fierce?"
Did they just capture the celestial beings and use them as slaves?

Just how strong is the powerful figure stationed on this ship?

Could she be a peak-level celestial being?
In any case, I am safe for the time being.

As for the favors owed to Jin Buhuan, just find a way to repay them. As long as you're alive, nothing else matters.

This was really close!
It seems that although my ability to shrink the distance to an inch is impressive, it is still not fast enough compared to the truly top-tier experts!

Lin Chen has fought against a total of five Celestial Immortals, Zou Manhua and four members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. He instantly killed a Celestial Immortal in the early stage, was chased by a severely injured Celestial Immortal in the middle stage but eventually killed him, and was chased by a Celestial Immortal in the late stage and almost died.

In the past two days, he was first chased by Zou Manhua, who was in the early stage of the Celestial Immortal realm, and he still had a slight advantage in speed. Now, he is being chased by the Black-Clad Blood Envoy, who is of similar strength, and his speed is not enough.

To be called the Black-Clad Blood Envoy, one's strength must be at least at the mid-stage or even late-stage Celestial Immortal level, right?
I still need to work hard to improve my strength. Right now, I'm completely vulnerable when facing a strong enemy. If the opponent suddenly attacks me, I'll definitely be dead.

The tall, thin man pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned and left, disappearing in an instant.

Lin Chen finally felt relieved.

That was close! He almost died!
Jin Buhuan withdrew his gaze, a dangerous glint reappearing on his face: "Brother Lin, please!"

Lin Chen and Jin Buhuan walked into the cabin. Lin Chen laughed and said, "Brother Lin, you've done me a great favor today. Otherwise, I don't know how long he would have been chasing me!"

Jin Buhuan praised, "Brother Lin, your skills are truly amazing. Being chased by a celestial being, you can still escape all over the world without being caught..."

Lin Chen said modestly, "It was just luck; I almost got caught."

Jin Buhuan asked, "Why is he chasing you?"

Lin Chen replied, "He led a team to attack the Wanhua Palace's flying boat. In the chaos, I escaped, and he relentlessly pursued me."

Jin Buhuan's eyes widened. How dare the Heavenly Alliance attack the Wanhua Palace's carriage?
The people from Wanhua Palace must have gone to participate in the Divine Fire Martial Arts Tournament. The one leading the team should be Guo Qiuyu, the patriarch of Wanhua Palace, right?

Has the Heavenly Alliance gone mad?
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Senior Guo was defeated by Xiao Hua, the sect leader of the Twin Saints Sect, and was injured, so it is inconvenient for him to take action... Brother Jin, how about we talk about the Immortal Jade Youth-Locking Pill?"

Jin Buhuan immediately understood that Lin Chen didn't want to talk about this anymore, and smiled as he agreed, "Okay, please come in!"

After Jin Buhuan invited Lin Chen to sit down, he went out and gave instructions. Soon, the beautiful maid who had appeared before reappeared, serving Lin Chen and Jin Buhuan tea and several snacks. She then stood behind Jin Buhuan with a calm expression.

Lin Chen took out ten Immortal Jade Youth-Locking Pills and said with a smile, "Brother Jin, take a look."

Previously, Lin Chen bought medicinal herbs from Jin Buhuan and refined three batches of Immortal Jade Youth-Locking Pills, each batch containing about ten pills. Lin Chen gave them to Chu Jiaxue, Yue Muzhen, and others. Seven pills were used, leaving more than twenty pills.

Lin Chen took out ten to make this deal in order to increase his own importance and get Jin Buhuan to protect him.

What principles did Jin Buhuan mention?
Haha, just listen to it!
If he hadn't demonstrated sufficient value, would Jin Buhuan have spoken so definitively later?

Did he hesitate after the tall, thin man made the suggestion?
