The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1816 You can't beat him!

How many transactions have you completed?

"There are quite a few, but I don't know the exact number; I only know about this matter."

Meng Shuyu answered frankly: "When humans capture dragons, they use methods to force them to submit and become their war pets or even chariot-pulling pets. When we dragons capture humans, we treat them as slaves to serve our dragon race. So it is normal for us to use them for trade."

Lin Chen didn't have any opinion on this; isn't that what war is all about?
Prisoners of war have no human rights; they only do what is in their own best interest.
If the disciple captured by the Hundred Tribulations Sect wasn't someone they highly valued for their potential, the sect obviously wouldn't have been so eager to rescue him. And if Lin Chen and his group hadn't captured Meng Ke, but just an ordinary dragon with no special status, the dragons probably wouldn't have cared so much either.

The dragon race and the human race have been fighting each other for so long that neither side knows how many people the other has captured.

Lin Chen nodded: "What about the other party's information?"

Meng Shuyu shook her head: "I don't know. I'm not in charge of these things, and I wasn't involved. If you want to know, you can ask the clan leader if he's willing to tell you."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Miss Meng, do you hate me to the bone? If I went to the Dragon Clan, would I be able to come back alive?"

Meng Shuyu smiled and said, "You are a special envoy of the Immortal Palace, representing the Immortal Palace. As guests, we will naturally treat you with courtesy. However, I am quite curious about your reason for helping the Hundred Tribulations Sect this time."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "One of the people captured by the Rock Tribe is a friend of mine, so I lent a hand."

Meng Shuyu gave an "oh" and didn't make a fuss about it. After all, although Lin Chen was a special envoy of the Immortal Palace, he was only a True Immortal. Besides, everyone had reached an agreement. If any further complications arose, it would make the Dragon Clan look like a hypocrite who went back on their word.

"The Dragon Clan welcomes Envoy Lin to visit, and I guarantee your safety in my name."

Lin Chen blinked and smiled, "I'm afraid I don't have time for the time being. My strength is too weak, so I plan to cultivate here for a while. How about Ms. Meng gives me some kind of token or keepsake? I'll visit you when I have time."

Meng Shuyu smiled and said, "You are a special envoy of the Celestial Palace, and you have the Celestial Palace's decree. What are you afraid of that anyone might harm you?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "On your dragon clan's territory, the Immortal Palace Token is not very effective. I am a coward with low strength and I am afraid of dying."

Meng Shuyu wanted to roll her eyes. "Are you a coward who's afraid of death?"

You, a true immortal, dare to sneak alone to Meng Ke's side. Once exposed, you'll probably be dead. Is that what you call cowardice?

Meng Shuyu took out a token and tossed it to Lin Chen: "This is my Azure Dragon Palace's access token. With this token, the Dragon Clan will not make things difficult for you. You can come to the Azure Dragon Palace to find me."

Lin Chen caught the token and examined it. The token was made of wood, with a blue dragon carved on it, radiating a blue light that made the carving seem almost alive, exuding the aura of a real dragon. "Thank you, Ms. Meng. I will definitely visit you when I have time."

Meng Shuyu smiled and said, "I will be waiting for you at the Azure Dragon Palace."

The negotiations were thus successfully concluded. Meng Panshi and Xi Junshan stepped forward to conclude the contract, and both parties contributed their essence and blood to the contract, thus completing the signing of the contract.

With this contract in place, the Hundred Tribulations Sect and the Rock Tribe will no longer fight each other for a long time. After all, you are cultivating side by side, so why would those two forces fight?

Wouldn't it be better to cultivate oneself properly?
After the contract was completed, both sides notified their respective people to bring over all the prisoners they were guarding.

Meng Ke, Meng Yan (who had lost an arm), and the Golden Immortal guards were all brought over and handed over to Meng Panshi.

When Meng Ke saw Meng Shuyu, her eyes lit up immediately: "Auntie!"

Meng Shuyu casually removed the seal Lin Chen had placed on her, her eyes showing a hint of doting: "Are you alright?"

Meng Ke shook her head: "It's nothing... What was the outcome of this negotiation? Did we pay a heavy price?"

Meng Shuyu briefly informed Meng Ke of the negotiation results, and Meng Ke breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it's not too exaggerated.

Although there were some slight concessions, at least we got 40% of the right to use the spiritual vein, so it wasn't too bad.

"Auntie, I'll pay you back the ransom you gave me later..."

Meng Shuyu smiled slightly: "You silly girl, don't be so formal with your aunt. This ransom is nominally a ransom, but in reality it's a form of compensation, and it doesn't really concern you..."

Meng Ke turned to look at Lin Chen, her eyes filled with hatred: "If I hadn't trusted him so easily and been so soft-hearted, I wouldn't have been ambushed and captured by him, and none of this would have happened. I even lost three guards because of this..."

Meng Shuyu smiled faintly: "At such a young age and with such strength, to become a special envoy of the Immortal Palace and represent the Immortal Palace on a solitary journey is something that not only True Immortals can possess. This person is not simple in terms of either courage or ability. Since you have not been out and about and lack experience, you cannot defeat him. You'd better stay away from him."

Meng Ke gritted her teeth, feeling unwilling, and suddenly asked, "Shouldn't I be able to stay here and cultivate?"
