The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1695 This feeling is a bit disillusioning!
"Look, I've killed so many Celestial Immortals from the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and I've thoroughly offended the Black-Clad Blood Envoys and the Red-Clad Blood Envoys. If they don't die, I will. You have to protect me!"

Yao Xuanji listened to Lin Chen's teasing words with a subtle look in her eyes.

How could she not know that the root of all this was actually herself?

If he hadn't saved him, how could he have become enemies with Wei Jiao?
If he hadn't intervened to save her again on the Cloud Continent, how could Wei Jiao have targeted her?
She was the daughter of the Lord of the Immortal Realm. Even though her father had disappeared for hundreds of years, she still had the support of the Immortal Palace and countless subordinates to command. But Lin Chen was all alone, not to mention his low strength!

Although Lin Chen's current achievements are dazzling, Yao Xuanji knows that they are the result of countless life-or-death struggles. If Lin Chen had made even the slightest mistake in any of those attempts, he would probably be dead by now.

"Okay, how do you want me to protect you?"

Lin Chen pretended to think: "I don't plan to leave for now. I'm afraid of dying. I think your immortal palace must be very safe. I plan to hide here for a while. You won't kick me out, will you?"

Yao Xuanji's eyes lit up with joy: "Really? You're not lying to me?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Really?"

"That would be great."

Yao Xuanji smiled and said, "You have no idea how boring it is for me to live alone in this fairy palace. Now that you're here, I won't be bored anymore."

Lin Chen blinked: "Aren't you going to give me some high-ranking official position? I see that the Heavenly Dao Alliance has left and right envoys, three kings, four ghosts, five wandering immortals, and ten blood envoys. Sounds so cool..."

Yao Xuanji was amused by Lin Chen's words and rolled her eyes at him: "Want to be a high-ranking official? How about the position of acting domain lord? If you want it, you can have it!"

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. If I sat down, I'd probably be killed on the spot by the people from the Immortal Palace, and I'd never be able to get up from that position again."

Yao Xuanji laughed and said, "Aren't you a special envoy of the Celestial Palace now? You are a special being who only obeys my orders. You are free and at ease. How wonderful! I wouldn't dare to ask you to do anything else and serve me."

Lin Chen joked, "Sigh, your strength is still too low. Those palace guards all seem to be very strong..."

Yao Xuanji replied, "The lower-level celestial palace guards are true immortals, the higher-level guards are golden immortals, and the chief guard is a celestial immortal... Let's go, let's find another place and sit down to chat. I'm quite interested in your recent stories."

Lin Chen followed Yao Xuanji into the small building, where he saw Aunt Lei smiling and some female guards at the door.

"You live here?"

Yao Xuanji replied with a slightly playful tone, "Hmm, aren't you surprised?" Lin Chen nodded, "I've always been thinking about what kind of environment a Lord of the Immortal Realm should live in to match his status. Now that I see it, I feel like my fantasy has been shattered."

Yao Xuanji was amused again.

She's been under a lot of pressure lately, and has many worries. She hasn't laughed like this in a long time, busy dealing with all sorts of things.

Yao Xuanji replied, "Cultivators cultivate their hearts; external possessions are not important. As long as you are comfortable, that's enough. The grand halls and such outside are symbols of status; they must be majestic and imposing. But your own residence should be as comfortable as possible. No matter how powerful you are, you can only sleep in a space that is one meter wide, right?"

After entering the attic and sitting down in the living room, Yao Xuanji dismissed the maids and personally brewed tea for Lin Chen.

"How have you been lately? Are you very tired?"

Yao Xuanji smiled slightly: "It is a bit tiring, but it's alright. It's better than being suppressed in that endless darkness."

Lin Chen smiled and asked, "Are there many sects supporting the Immortal Palace right now?"

Yao Xuanji sighed: "Back then, my father led a group of loyal subordinates to end the chaos in the Immortal Realm and establish a new order. These people are now all big shots who govern their respective regions."

"When I visited them, they said nice things on the surface, saying that they would definitely support the Celestial Palace, but when a real disaster comes, I reckon they might not actually help."

Yao Xuanji raised her head and looked at Lin Chen: "You had nothing back then, how did you become the Emperor whom everyone worshipped in just a few years?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "First, the Human Emperor's Seal recognizes its master. From everyone's perspective, I am the Human Emperor, and they should listen to what I say."

"Secondly, the situation. Back then, when the demon race and the human race were at war, the human race was forced to unite. This was an action that was in everyone's interest in survival, so I was naturally the leader."

"Thirdly, strength. Although I had not yet reached the peak of the Void Realm at that time, I already had the strength to crush them. I also had immortal servants by my side. Anyone who disobeyed my orders would be punished."

"The rest are some scattered factors. You are the daughter of the domain lord and the current acting domain lord. Like me, in the minds of normal people, we will have a preconceived notion that we should obey your orders."

"Their choice to stay out of it is simply because they feel there's no benefit in fighting, and you can't do anything to them if they don't fight, so they're just paying lip service to you..."
