The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2164 Why did you save me?
Lu Yao was very relaxed and calm at this moment.

With his great revenge fulfilled, his obsession finally dispelled!
"Didn't you lie to everyone too?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "That's true. Then let's call it a draw and no one should say anything to anyone else... Let's talk about the current situation. Your injury is quite serious."

Lu Yao nodded, his eyes showing no fear of death: "I first used the Undying Domain, then suffered a fierce backlash, and was injured by the alternate dimension. My body is almost broken, and I guess I won't survive."

"Before I die, I can see Qin Zheng die. I am already very satisfied. I owe you a great favor. I am about to die and I have nothing to repay you with. Here is my spatial ring. It contains the cultivation method of my divine power, Xiaoyao Xing. Consider it my way of thanking you."

Lin Chen frowned and asked, "You're a Great Luo Immortal, and you're not dead yet. Can't you even heal yourself?"

Lu Yao replied, "Even the Great Luo Immortal is not omnipotent. My body was gradually losing its vitality during a long period of dormancy. Although I was forcibly awakened by the essence of many immortals and recovered some of my life force, I have now suffered many serious injuries, which have compounded my injuries and completely severed my vitality. I am now hanging on by a thread, just waiting to die."

Lin Chen pressed further, "Is there really no other way?"

Life cut off?

Lin Chen thought for a moment, then took out the Life-Giving Pearl: "The Life-Giving Pearl can convert spiritual energy into life force. Let's try it and see if it works?"

Lin Chen placed the Life-Giving Pearl on Lu Yao's chest and poured dense spiritual power into it. Immediately, a large amount of life force surged into Lu Yao's body from the Life-Giving Pearl.

Lu Yao's tattered body began to repair itself little by little amidst the dense vitality. The damaged parts inside his body also began to react, but the process was extremely slow.

The Life-Giving Pearl is highly effective for low-level cultivators, but its effect is minimal for Great Luo Venerables whose bodies have reached an extremely high level. However, any effect is better than no effect.

Lu Yao felt the changes in her body and exclaimed in surprise, "This is quite a treasure."

Lin Chen looked up at Lu Yao: "So, with this, can it save you?"

Lu Yao felt it for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "It can't save my life, but with it, it can keep me alive for a longer time."

Lin Chen frowned: "Can't this be saved either?"

Lu Yao explained, "My body is devoid of life force, like a withered tree. For a withered tree to regrow and sprout, besides life force, it also needs magical energy that can bring it back to life. Although this Life Pearl can provide some life force to keep me alive, it is not enough to restore my body to normal."

Lin Chen nodded: "As long as you're alive, there's a chance. Since you know your situation, you should know what can provide you with the magical energy to bring back to life, right?"

Lu Yao replied, "The Yin-Yang Spring water can connect life and death, possessing miraculous abilities. Soaking my body in a large amount of Yin-Yang Spring water can rejuvenate me, bringing withered trees back to life. However, the Yin-Yang Spring only exists in legends; no one has ever seen it..."

Lin Chen turned to look at the others: "Have you ever heard of the Yin-Yang Spring?"

Nangong Ye and the others all shook their heads. Qi pondered for a moment and said, "I've heard of it, but only in legends. I've never seen it."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Since there are legends, perhaps they really exist. Since there is hope, let's hold on and try to live. After all, as long as we're alive, anything is possible!"

Lu Yao smiled slightly: "If we can live, then naturally no one has to die. But to encounter a special magical treasure like the Life-Giving Pearl at the brink of death is such a coincidence that it saved my life. Perhaps it's truly a blessing from heaven, giving me a glimmer of hope." Lin Chen patted the Life-Giving Pearl: "How do we operate it to achieve better results?"

Lu Yao lowered his head and glanced at the Life Pearl placed in his heart, whispering, "Cut open my chest and put it into my heart. This way, it can continuously absorb spiritual energy, transform it into life force, and keep me alive. However, after the Life Pearl is placed there, some changes may occur. I cannot guarantee that it can be returned to you intact in the future..."

Lin Chen smiled, said nothing, and with his fingers like knives, he directly cut open Lu Yao's chest, then reached out and cut open Lu Yao's heart, stuffing the Life Pearl inside.

Lu Yao's heart quickly enveloped the Life Pearl, absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy, which was then transformed into a rich life force. With each heartbeat, this life force spread rapidly to every part of his body through the bloodstream.

Lu Yao looked at Lin Chen and calmly asked, "Why did you save me?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "We were teammates before, and besides, if I wanted to save someone, I would. I don't need any reason."

Lu Yao calmly said, "I'm a cripple right now, I can't even fight, so I can't help you at all."

Lin Chen answered honestly, "I am a doctor. Although I don't know how to save you, I can roughly assess your injuries, so I don't expect you to help me with anything."

After a pause, Lin Chen added, "If I had to find a reason to save you, it would be that I admire you."

Lu Yao frowned: "Admiration?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Your body was resurrected. Logically speaking, you could have lived a better life as long as you left the Heavenly River Secret Realm. But you would rather die, rather perish together with Qin Zheng, to avenge the people you care about. As a Great Luo Immortal with endless life, you voluntarily walked towards death. Not everyone can do that."

Lu Yao stared at Lin Chen, and after a long while, calmly nodded: "I understand. But endless life is not necessarily that interesting. Living for too long is actually quite meaningless."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "I don't know how old you are, but I've only lived for a few decades. I still have so many wonderful experiences to go through. I'm still full of expectations and hopes for life."

Lu Yao looked at Lin Chen in surprise: "Decades? You're only a few decades old?"

Lin Chen nodded: "That's right."

Lu Yao laughed and said, "You do have quite a talent."

Lin Chen shook his head: "My talent is just average, maybe I'm just a little lucky!"

Lu Yao raised his hand, and suddenly a jade slip appeared in his palm.

"This is the cultivation method of Xiaoyao Xing. You can study it when you have time. Although you are not yet above the Great Luo realm, you have the supernatural power of bloodline clones, so you may be able to comprehend it ahead of time."

"Even if you can't comprehend it now, with your talent, entering the Great Luo realm is a certainty. After you enter the Great Luo realm, you can slowly cultivate. As long as you learn the Free and Easy Journey, even if you encounter a powerful enemy, you can at least escape if you can't defeat them."

Lin Chen didn't hesitate and directly accepted the jade slip, laughing, "You're right about that. I'm not very strong, but I'm very good at escaping. And it's kind of a coincidence, the movement technique I cultivate is called Shrinking the Earth to an Inch, which is also a kind of spatial movement..."
