The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2722 Lin Yuan Awakens, A Thousand-Year Dream?
Inside the Seven Wonders Palace, Kong Ling saw the seriously injured Zhen Liuxue.

"This is Senior Zhen."

Kong Ling's eyes widened. The old woman in front of him was none other than Zhen Liuxue, the Quasi-Saint who had fought against the two Quasi-Saints, Si Dao Wang and Pang Yuanzhen.

She had actually been right next to Lin Chen the whole time!
Lin Chen is really over the top.

Lin Chen bowed to Zhen Liuxue: "Senior, this is Kong Ling. His body belongs to my father. Please use the Soul Separation Technique to separate them. In addition, I will give Jiang Wanchun's body to Kong Ling as payment. Please also help him complete the possession."

Zhen Liuxue nodded, her gaze falling on Kong Ling's face: "For the separation of soul and spirit to succeed, you must fully cooperate. Are you willing to cooperate and give up this body?"

Kong Ling readily nodded: "I will cooperate fully."

Zhen Liuxue sat up from the couch and said calmly, "Then let's prepare."

Soon, Kong Ling and Jiang Wanchun lay side by side on a stone platform. Zhen Liuxue put a pill in her mouth, sat cross-legged next to her, and began to absorb the pill through her internal energy.

After an incense stick had burned, Zhen Liuxue opened her eyes, stood in front of Kong Ling, and stretched out her hands, gesturing towards his head.

"Now, I will enter the depths of your consciousness and awaken Lin Yuan's dormant soul. Do not resist..."

Lin Chen and Shang Wenyan stood quietly to the side, not uttering a word, their breathing barely audible.

Zhen Liuxue was clearly very skilled at separating the soul and spirit, and her operation was methodical and orderly.

Kong Ling cooperated throughout the process, which made the whole thing go very smoothly.

Lin Yuan's soul, which had been dormant in the deepest part of his consciousness, was awakened and quickly recovered with the help of Zhen Liuxue.

When Lin Yuan's soul recovered enough to support his body on its own, Zhen Liuxue began to extract Kong Ling's soul, which gathered into a ball of light surging with immense spiritual energy. This ball left the body and was drawn by Zhen Liuxue into Jiang Wanchun's brow.

Zhen Liuxue used a secret technique to help Lin Yuan's soul recover and to help Kong Ling and Jiang Wanchun's bodies completely merge.

Lin Chen and Shang Wenyan waited for a long time before finally seeing Zhen Liuxue let out a long breath and withdraw her hand.

Zhen Liuxue was pale and could barely stand. Lin Chen quickly stepped forward to support her and asked with concern, "Senior, how are you feeling?"

Zhen Liuxue took a breath: "My body was seriously injured, and I almost couldn't hold on. It's okay, it's already like this, it can't get any worse."

After a pause, Zhen Liuxue's gaze fell on Kong Ling and Lin Yuan, who were lying quietly, and she said in a low voice, "Although your father's soul has recovered a lot, it is very weak because it has been suppressed for too long. Although I used a secret technique to help him recover a lot, I have kept him in a deep sleep in order to help him recover better. It will probably take a month before he wakes up."

"As for Kong Ling, he needs to completely merge his soul and body into one, which will also take time. I estimate it will take about the same amount of time. Just wait."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, senior."

Zhen Liuxue waved her hand and said self-deprecatingly, "I'm just a useless person now. If I can help you now, it's a way of making use of my waste."

Lin Chen comforted him, "Senior, don't worry. The world is vast and full of wonders. As long as you're alive, there's always a chance. We'll eventually find medicine to treat your injuries."

Zhen Liuxue nodded slightly without saying a word. Clearly, she was well aware of how serious her injuries were and had given up hope of recovery.

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "Although the Seven Wonders Hall is quiet and suitable for recuperating, the space is enclosed. Staying there for too long will probably make you depressed. How about I find you another place?"

Zhen Liuxue looked up in surprise: "Where to?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Let's go somewhere with a clear sky and beautiful scenery."

Zhen Liuxue smiled and said, "The thing cultivators fear least is loneliness. You can decide for yourself." Lin Chen opened a teleportation portal, bringing the two sleeping people and Zhen Liuxue out of the Seven Wonders Palace. Then he summoned the Exquisite Pagoda, and a golden light shone down, taking everyone into the pagoda.

Standing at the entrance of the main hall, Zhen Liuxue looked at the magnificent mountains and rivers stretching as far as the eye could see, and her eyes suddenly widened: "The tower contains its own world, is this a primordial spiritual treasure?"

Qi walked out of the main hall, and Lin Chen introduced her: "This is Sister Qi, the tower spirit."

A primordial spiritual treasure possessing a spirit?
Zhen Liuxue was shocked, her gaze falling on Lin Chen again: "You...you've been hiding this well..."

Lin Chen chuckled: "It's all for self-preservation, please forgive me, senior."

Zhen Liuxue sighed: "You did nothing wrong. If I had known you possessed this treasure when I met you years ago, I, consumed by revenge, might have tried to kill you and seize it..."

Lin Chen smiled. If Zhen Liuxue hadn't made a solemn oath to the Heavenly Dao, declaring that her life belonged to Lin Chen and that she needed to repay his kindness, and if she hadn't also helped Kong Ling with the separation of their souls, why would Lin Chen have brought her into the Linglong Tower?

Zhen Liuxue settled down in the Linglong Tower, and Lin Chen built her a small building amidst the beautiful mountains, rivers, and lakes as her residence.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Yuan, who had been asleep for a month, slowly opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar scene before him with a confused expression.

This is where?

He raised his hand, and looking at his gently outstretched fingers, a look of surprise appeared in Lin Yuan's eyes.

When you went to explore Yin-Yang Valley, wasn't your body taken over by the Demon Emperor, leaving you with only a last bit of consciousness?

He has regained control of his own body. What about the Demon Emperor?

Lin Yuan slowly sat up from the couch and carefully checked. Yes, it was indeed his own body.

"Snapped!"

The door was pushed open, and two men and a woman stood in the doorway, their eyes all fixed on Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan's gaze swept over the three people, then stopped on the face of the young man in front of him, and his eyes suddenly widened.

Lin Chen!

When Kong Ling took over Lin Yuan's body and rushed out of the Yin-Yang Valley tomb, he bumped into Lin Chen. Although the two only exchanged a few words, they were considered to have recognized each other.

This memory is etched deep in Lin Yuan's soul, even the driving force behind his perseverance, and the one thing he least wants to forget.

Lin Chen tentatively called out, "Dad?"

One word instantly broke Lin Yuan's defenses, and his eyes immediately reddened.

Seeing Lin Yuan's appearance, Lin Chen knew that his father had recognized him, and the worry that had been hanging over him finally subsided.

He had been worried that Lin Yuan's soul would be damaged due to being suppressed for too long, resulting in irreversible damage or memory loss. Now, he no longer had to worry.

Lin Chen walked into the room, sat down on the edge of the bed, and asked with concern, "Dad, have you regained your memory? Is anything bothering you?"

Lin Yuan's emotions were churning like a turbulent sea. He took a deep breath and tried his best to calm his surging emotions: "I'm fine. It feels like I've had a very, very long sleep. I remember I was completely suppressed by the Demon Emperor. How did you wake me up?"
