The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2770 A Sudden Rise of Killing Intent

The battle is finally over.

Many of the spiders were killed or wounded, and the remaining spiders all fled north, pursued by Cui Wenxuan and his men for a long distance.

These demonic spiders were truly powerful in combat. Even after they had been defeated and were being hunted by so many strong individuals, they still managed to break through the encirclement, then burrowed underground and disappeared without a trace.

When Cui Wenxuan returned, he looked at the ruins of the Juxian Island outpost with a solemn expression.

"Count the dead and injured!"

Soon, the inventory results came out, and looking at the statistics in the report, Cui Wenxuan's eyes showed obvious pain.

That's quite a loss!
Although many of them are not disciples of Juxian Island, but explorers who stayed here under contract, what difference is there between them and disciples of Juxian Island as long as they stay here?
The once-in-five-hundred-years gathering of immortals has been a complete waste!
Despite his grief, Cui Wenxuan arranged for doctors to treat all the injured and cleared the ruins of the many halls and towers to build a new residence.

The new base was quickly set up, and everyone moved in.

Guan Xia stopped behind the group: "Lin Xi, thank you for saving me, but I can't stay here, I have to go back!"

Lin Chen turned around and smiled, "Alright, you can go back now. Next time you encounter something like this, don't do anything foolish."

Guan Xia pursed her lips: "Okay!"

Guan Xia turned and took a few steps, but then stopped and turned back: "Young Master..."

Lin Chen turned around, looked at Guan Xia's hesitant face, and asked gently, "Is there anything else?"

Guan Xia twisted her fingers together, seemingly mustering her courage, and whispered, "If you ever decide to leave here, could you let me know?"

Lin Chen chuckled: "Okay! I won't sneak away, I'll definitely let you know!"

Guan Xia nodded, her face slightly embarrassed under everyone's gaze. She didn't dare to say anything more, glanced at Lin Chen, and then turned and left quickly.

Blue Rose said softly, "She's fallen for you."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "How could I fall in love so easily? I've only known her for a short time."

Blue Rose shook her head and said, "I am a woman, and I understand women's emotions better. Besides, when a man falls for a woman, or a woman falls for a man, it is often not something that develops over a long period of time. Rather, it is the first time they meet, when they see each other's faces and look into each other's eyes, that they feel joy and develop feelings of liking."

"Weren't you very good to her before? Besides, you just saved her life. Isn't it normal to be moved by gratitude?" Lin Chen laughed. "I also saved you. Are you also moved by me?"

Lin Chen's direct question made Lan Qiangwei pause for a moment, then she answered frankly, "I was really moved when you shielded me behind you. It was so dangerous, yet you still rushed out to protect me. Not everyone can do that."

Blue Rose paused, her bright eyes looking directly at Lin Chen: "Because of my appearance and status, many people like me, but at such a critical moment, it's not certain that anyone will stand in front of me and protect me with their life just because they like me."

Lin Chen was surprised that Lan Qiangwei was so blunt, and she didn't even try to hide her words from Zuo Dongxu and the others standing next to her.

Lin Chen glanced at Zuo Dongxu and noticed a fleeting flicker in his eyes, as if he were embarrassed.

Isn't Blue Rose referring to him?

I love Blue Rose, but I don't dare to risk my life for her!
Zuo Dongxu suddenly felt hatred towards Lin Chen. If we were all busy escaping for our lives, then everyone would be on equal footing. But while I was escaping, you saved Lan Qiangwei!
Blue Rose herself said that she was very moved and extremely grateful at the time.

I felt like I was just a supporting character, which was very embarrassing and shameful.

What's this kid's skill level again?

How powerful can a rogue cultivator be, no matter how strong?
If he dies, whether it's saving someone or developing feelings for him, everything will become a mirage, and Blue Rose might soon forget him.

In that instant, Zuo Dongxu harbored murderous intent towards Lin Chen, and he became absolutely certain of it.

Find an opportunity to kill Lin Chen!
Just as everyone was about to go inside, a man came out and said politely, "Fairy Lan, the island lord invites you!"

Lan Qiangwei followed the man to the main hall in front, where a corner had collapsed. Island Lord Cui Wenxuan was waiting for Lan Qiangwei.

"Blue Fairy, if it weren't for your prior warning, which gave us time to prepare, we would have suffered heavy casualties, and many more people would have died..."

Cui Wenxuan's gaze was sincere: "The rule of our Juxian Island is that mistakes must be punished and merits must be rewarded. Fairy Lan, what do you want, or what do you want to achieve? Tell me, and I will do my best to help you achieve it."

Lan Qiangwei stared at Cui Wenxuan and asked for confirmation, "Island Master Cui, do you really want a reward, or a great achievement?"

Cui Wenxuan answered affirmatively, "Yes, it's an extremely important contribution and deserves a reward!"

Blue Rose pondered for a few seconds before speaking, "If you really want to reward me, Island Lord, then give me points..."
