The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3438 It's better to be enslaved by me for life than to spend it in jail for life.

Huo Ling Shuang remained silent.

Yes, Lin Chen is right.

Putting herself in Lin Chen's shoes, if Huo Ling Shuang were in Lin Chen's position today, she definitely wouldn't believe any of his promises either. Only by completely controlling his life and death would she take the next step.

Huo Ling Shuang stared into Lin Chen's eyes: "You were talking about 'you guys' before, but now some people have submitted to you?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "You Kun from the Scorpion Sect, Wu Heng from the Daoyun Sect, and Ning Hesheng from the Qiyun Sect. Based on my situation, I can control about four people, so I want to reserve these four spots for you."

Huo Ling Shuang's eyes widened in shock as she exclaimed, "Ning Hesheng actually submitted to you?"

Huo Ling Shuang had never heard of You Kun and Wu Heng, so she figured they weren't particularly formidable. But Ning Hesheng was a prodigy on par with her, and his strength was probably no less than hers. Yet, he was captured alive by Lin Chen.
She knew very well that defeating one person was much easier than capturing one alive. After all, people would definitely prepare all sorts of trump cards and escape methods for themselves. After all, no one could say that they wouldn't encounter a disadvantageous situation. Besides, even if you are powerful, what if the other side has a group of people?
Even the most skilled person may encounter situations they cannot defeat, and in such cases, escape methods become especially important.

As fellow sages, defeating Ning Hesheng was already difficult enough, but capturing him was even more challenging.

"You also possess many saintly methods?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Of course a sage has the means, otherwise, how could he have stopped Ning Hesheng's desperate methods? But those are no longer important. The outcome is already decided. Let's look to the future."

“You were originally doomed, but God gave you a chance. If you still can’t seize it, then you’ll probably have to spend the rest of your life in jail here.”

"Don't even think that once I reach the Celestial Realm, if I die, someone from another Celestial Realm might rescue you. First of all, before I die, I will make everyone here who refuses to submit to me pay with their lives. Secondly, even if you are rescued, you will fall into someone else's hands. What do you think the chances are that they will let you go?"

After a pause, Lin Chen's gaze slid down her face, to her chest, and finally to her legs.

"While you may not be considered a beauty that could topple kingdoms, you are still a stunning beauty. Coupled with your strength and status, I think many people will be quite interested in you."

Huo Ling Shuang subconsciously shrank back under Lin Chen's undisguised aggressive gaze, and her eyes showed a hint of anger as she looked at him.

Lin Chen smiled as he looked at Huo Ling Shuang, his gaze unwavering, even carrying a hint of mockery.

"Being mean to me won't work. I'm not interested in you anyway. I'm just describing a possible future to you."

Huo Ling Shuang was silent for a few seconds: "If I submit to you, will you set me free after you become a saint?"

"Of course not."

Lin Chen answered bluntly, "In your Celestial Realm, the power of a saint is very limited, right? If you offend others, you'll still be killed, won't you? Do you think I'd let you go and tell others the truth?"

Huo Ling Shuang gritted her teeth and said, "Then am I going to be enslaved by you for the rest of my life?"

"Being enslaved by me for life is better than you spending your whole life in prison."

Lin Chen replied calmly, "Actually, I could directly control your life, but since this is a transaction, I think it's best if you're willing. I don't want to gamble on whether you'll die with me."

"If you submit to me, your fate will naturally be tied to mine. If I become powerful, I will naturally give you benefits. After all, I also need to win you over so that you will work for me with peace of mind and prevent you from revealing the truth, right?"

"So you don't need to worry about how I'll treat you. On the contrary, you'll be the same as before when you go back. All you need to do is try your best to help me when I need it."

"You are still the pride of your sect, and you can still enjoy the glory of being a prodigy. If you think about it this way, isn't it a little easier to accept?"

Huo Ling Shuang asked in a deep voice, "Then when will you be willing to relinquish your freedom?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment: "If I become a god, then I will set you free." A god?

How dare you say that!
Huo Ling Shuang gritted her teeth, feeling very unwilling, but helpless.

"Alright, if I confirm that you have indeed captured Immortal Lord Ranhai, then you have saved me, and I can submit to you!"

Huo Ling Shuang is not a coy person; to become a prodigy, one must naturally be very decisive.

After understanding everything, Huo Ling Shuang immediately agreed.

After all, as Lin Chen said, she had no better choice than this. Even this path was only a matter of good luck for her; otherwise, she would have fallen into an abyss with no future.

"Alright, then come with me!"

Lin Chen didn't waste any words, since he was still inside the Linglong Tower after leaving the Void Pearl.

Even if she has some ulterior motives, she can't cause any real trouble.

Lin Chen stood up, looked at Huo Ling Shuang with a cold face, and smiled, "Cheer up. My arrival is a turning point in your life, a great joy. Now it's time to let you return to the Heavenly God Realm, to let you go home. Don't keep such a long face."

Huo Ling Shuang really wanted to curse, but she didn't dare.

I'm about to become your slave, is that something to be happy about?
From now on, life and death will be out of my control. For someone as proud as me, this is hardly better than death.

Lin Chen chuckled, said nothing more, and turned to walk away.

Huo Ling Shuang got off the bed and followed behind Lin Chen, but couldn't help glancing at the Enchantress Lord beside her.

Even though she was a woman, she still thought the Enchantress was too beautiful, she was simply the perfect embodiment of all the best qualities of a woman.

Is this woman also one of the human race's trial participants this time?
Huo Ling Shuang didn't ask any questions. Before confirming the facts, she planned to speak less and observe and listen more.

Led by the guards, Lin Chen went up to the third floor and continued until he reached the end of the third floor.

A man lay in the room. He had white hair, was emaciated, and looked like he was about to die.

The guard opened the door, and Lin Chen went inside.

The man on the bed opened his eyes, looking weakly at the people who entered, his gaze cold.

His expression was calm and unwavering, as if no matter who entered, it would not stir the slightest emotion within him.

Lin Chen walked to the window and asked softly, "Are you Gu Yue, Senior Gu?"

The man frowned slightly: "You came here to find me, so why ask such a pointless question?"

"Please don't take offense, senior. This matter is of great importance. I just wanted to verify it again."

Lin Chen cupped his hands and bowed respectfully: "Senior Gu, you have suffered greatly. I am Lin Chen, the current master of the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda. I have come to rescue you at the request of Sister Qi..."
