The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2576 Leave it for the wife first, the meat will rot in the pot!
Although Lin Chen and the others had previously discovered a healing place in the Roulette Secret Realm, Lu Yao did not go there.

He chose to recover slowly.

Although the probability is very small, he doesn't want to be captured by Luo Hongdan and become a laborer with no hope of advancement.

Lin Chen supports Lu Yao's choice.

A century is just a hundred years, it will pass in the blink of an eye. There's no need to gamble with your luck. What if you really run into her again and get kidnapped by Luo Hongdan?

Luo Hongdan might let them go for Qi's sake, but she might not let Lu Yao go. After all, she had no face in front of Luo Hongdan, and Luo Hongdan even wanted to kill her.

Luo Hongdan felt unworthy to be the owner of the Linglong Tower.

Lu Yao didn't force himself. He had recovered quite a bit and could put up a fight, but if he really encountered a Great Luo Immortal, even if he fought with all his might, he might not be a match for him.

He also agreed with Lin Chen's words, that the path of cultivation is one that one must walk on one's own, and that one cannot achieve great things by relying on the protection of others.

Yao Xuanji asked in confusion, "Aren't you the Sea God now? Isn't cultivating with the power of wills supposed to reduce bottlenecks? The Western Prison is very hostile to the human race. It would be quite dangerous for you to go there. Why don't you cultivate first, increase your strength, and go when you're stronger? There's no rush, is there?"

Lin Chen smiled wryly and took out the Seal of the Sea God: "To become a Sea God, one must be recognized by the Seal of the Sea God and use its full power. Secondly, one must be recognized by the Sea God Cult to obtain the power of will..."

"The Seal of the Sea God does not recognize me, so I can never become the Sea God, let alone use the Seal of the Sea God to cultivate."

Yao Xuanji asked in surprise, "You don't approve?"

Lin Chen placed the Seal of the Sea God in Yao Xuanji's hand: "Feel it for yourself, and you'll understand what I mean."

Holding the Seal of the Sea God, Yao Xuanji hesitated and said, "What if it accepts me?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "If it accepts you, then you are the sea god. What difference does it make whether I am the sea god or you are the sea god? The meat is still in the pot even if it's rotten."

Yao Xuanji thought it made sense. Since Lin Chen had confirmed that he couldn't get the Sea God's Seal's approval, he might as well give it a try. There was no loss regardless of whether it worked or not.

Yao Xuanji grasped the Seal of the Sea God, extending his senses into it. A few seconds later, Yao Xuanji suddenly cried out in surprise.

All eyes were fixed on Yao Xuanji's face, filled with curiosity.

Yao Xuanji said with a flushed face, "It's like I suddenly connected with its spiritual world. I saw a vast ocean, and I felt like it saw me completely..."

Yao Xuanji pursed her lips: "Then it bounced off my senses and threw me out directly."

Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Now you understand how we feel, right?"

Yao Xuanji nodded: "Has Wenyan tried it too?"

Shang Wenyan hummed in response, a fleeting glint of something unusual in her eyes.

The Seal of the Sea God was given to Lin Chen by the True Man Taixu. After Lin Chen rejected the Seal of the Sea God, he immediately asked Lin Chen to try it. Wasn't he afraid that he might be recognized by the truth?
Although they're friends, honestly, after being rejected himself, Lin Chen should have let his wives try. He was second in line, even ahead of his wife…

Will Yao Xuanji overthink things?

Yao Xuanji clearly hadn't thought much of it. Perhaps after so many years together, she had come to regard Shang Wenyan as family. She exclaimed in surprise, "It really can choose its own master? Senior Lu, why don't you give it a try?"

Lu Yao held the Seal of the Sea God, but did not rush to sense it, seemingly hesitant.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "No one knows that the Seal of the Sea God is in my hands. I don't plan to return it to the Sea God Sect for the time being. At least we should wait until all of our own people have tried it. If it still doesn't work, then we can consider how to use it to make a deal with the Sea God Sect and get enough benefits in return."

"I almost lost my life and used my strongest trump card to get it. I can't just give it back to the Sea God Cult for nothing."

Although Lin Chen and Shangguan Wenyin had a good relationship, that was a different matter from friendship.

Even if Lin Chen doesn't return it, Shangguan Wenyin has nothing to say.

Lu Yao nodded and began to release his senses.

After a while, Lu Yao smiled and let go of her hand.

"me too."

Lin Chen took back the Seal of the Sea God, casually tossed it in his palm, and then handed it to Yao Xuanji.

"Take this. Everyone can try it later. If it doesn't work for them, keep it and let them try it when they come back."

Yao Xuanji said in surprise, "Isn't the Seal of the Sea God a primordial spiritual treasure? Even if you can't use it for cultivation, you can still use it for combat, right?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I thought so too before, but after thinking about it carefully, it's not quite right. Although the Seal of the Sea God is an offensive magic weapon with great power, its design and attack pattern are impossible to hide."

"If I take it out to fight someone, they'll recognize it in no time. If someone tells the Sea God Cult, I'll be in big trouble."

"Let's leave it on the island for now and try it when they return. If none of them work, then we'll consider what to do with it. Shang Wenyan will come with me; she's a top-grade Grand Luo Immortal. If she can't stop it, even with the Sea God's Seal, it won't be of any use..."

Yao Xuanji said "Oh," and then asked, "Is Wenyan going to the Western Prison with you?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes."

A subtle look appeared in Yao Xuanji's eyes, and she smiled slightly: "Wenyan, thank you for your trouble."

Shang Wenyan felt a little embarrassed facing Yao Xuanji and quickly said, "Lin Chen has helped me so much, and now I'm just doing my best to repay him. Xuanji, don't worry, I will do my best to protect him..."
