The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2793 Is this person trying to cling to me?

"what?"

Lin Chen looked up in surprise: "Senior, you can go by yourself. There's no need for you to come with me. Besides, I have things to do and it will be a while before I go."

The Starry Sky Beast pressed further, "How long is 'a while'?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment: "It will take at least twenty or thirty years. I still have some things to take care of. I will go after I have finished taking care of them."

The Starry Sky Beast said decisively, "Twenty or thirty years is not a long time. I'll wait for you."

Lin Chen's eyes widened. No, this has nothing to do with me?
Lin Chen said cautiously, "Senior, our deal is already done. I told you the news, and you let us leave. We're even now. You can go by yourself. There's no need for me to come with you. With my strength, wouldn't it lower your status if I came with you?"

Blue Rose almost burst out laughing at Lin Chen's last sentence, but she quickly gritted her teeth and managed to suppress her laughter.

Gumado also looked puzzled. Why was this Starry Sky Beast blaming Lin Chen?
The Starry Sky Beast clearly knew its demands exceeded the scope of the previous deal, explaining, "The previous deal is complete, and I will let you leave. But now I'm going to talk about the second thing..."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Okay, as long as they admit it!
I'm afraid you'll turn your back on me and refuse to admit it. If you suddenly become unreasonable and break your promises, you'll be the one who suffers.

Lin Chen cautiously suggested, "Senior, seeing how anxious you were just now, you must be eager to find Chizai as soon as possible. You can set off now, and you might be able to meet him soon. Why waste time here?"

The Starry Sky Beast seemed to have latched onto Lin Chen, ignoring everything he said, and said crisply, "You have a relationship with Mu Tianjun, so it's safe for me to go to the Crimson Immortal Realm with you. You also have a relationship with Chi Zai, so it's 100% safe for you to inquire about Chi Zai's whereabouts. Therefore, it's the most reliable choice for me to go with you."

“You said you have things to do, so I won’t force you. It’s only twenty or thirty years. We’ve already come this far, so what’s a little more time? I can wait.”

Lin Chen was both amused and exasperated. Why did this Starry Sky Beast seem so timid?

It's like a little child. If you let it go on a long trip alone, it gets scared, afraid that it will be kidnapped by bad people. It insists on having an adult accompany it so that it won't be afraid.

Seeing that the other party seemed determined to stick with him, Lin Chen thought to himself, "This might not be such a bad thing after all."
Regardless of whether the other party is a Starry Sky Beast or not, and regardless of its purpose in seeking out the Crimson Calamity, its strength is formidable, and that is an undeniable fact.

With such a powerful being by my side, wouldn't my safety be greatly increased?

Before heading to the Crimson Immortal Realm, Lin Chen needed to go to the Bitter Sea Immortal Realm to help Daoist Duan Tian fulfill his final wish in exchange for ownership of the innate spiritual treasure, the Sun and Moon Divine Dragon Lamp. Lin Chen had no way of knowing what Daoist Duan Tian was thinking or what his plans were, but since Daoist Duan Tian was a quasi-saint, Lin Chen had to be extra careful.

Lin Chen had already made up his mind to visit the Taixu True Person first when he went to the Bitter Sea Immortal Realm, and to tell him everything. Even if the Taixu True Person took a fancy to the Sun and Moon Divine Dragon Lamp, it didn't matter, he would just give it to him. In short, safety came first.

Now that this incredibly powerful Starry Sky Beast insists on traveling with me, wouldn't I be able to recruit it as my henchman?

A powerful henchman delivered himself to our doorstep, why not take it?
As soon as Lin Chen thought about it, his mind started to get active.

"This secret realm is the territory of Juxian Island. I'm here on business, and now that things are almost done, I'm about to leave."

Lin Chen briefly explained the procedure for entering Juxian Island: "I won't have another chance to come here and meet you again..."

Before Lin Chen could finish speaking, the Starry Sky Beast in the thick fog said, "Then I'll leave with you. I'll travel with you until we reach the Crimson Immortal Realm War God Hall and find Crimson Calamity. Is that alright?"

Lin Chen was overjoyed. Wasn't that perfect?

Lin Chen feigned reluctance and said, "Of course I have no problem with you coming with me, but you are a Starry Sky Beast. What if others discover your identity..."

"They won't find it."

The Starry Sky Beast replied, "As long as I conceal my demonic energy, I look no different from an ordinary demon beast, and no one can recognize that I am the Starry Sky Beast."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He had asked that question precisely because he was afraid the other party would reveal their identity and cause him trouble.

Those who dare to fight the Starry Sky Beasts are naturally quite strong, so wouldn't I be easily caught in the crossfire?
"Of course there won't be any problem then."

Lin Chen readily agreed, then smiled and said, "Let's call this a new collaboration or deal. I'll take you to the Crimson Immortal Realm to find the Crimson Calamity, and what will you give me in return?"
