The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Do you like Chapter 3444? Of course I do!
"Alright, I'm leaving. You can go back now."

Lin Chen smiled at Zhuang Susu and said, "Take care."

Having explained everything that needed to be explained, Lin Chen was ready to leave and prepare to "enter" the Heavenly God Realm.

Just as Lin Chen was about to take off, Zhuang Susu suddenly called out, "Wait!"

Lin Chen stopped in his tracks: "Is there anything else?"

Zhuang Susu's face flushed slightly, her eyes filled with struggle as she looked at Lin Chen, her expression hesitant.

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Just say what you want to say. Our relationship doesn't need... uh..."

Before Lin Chen could finish speaking, Zhuang Susu suddenly stepped forward, reached out her hands, wrapped them around Lin Chen's neck, stood on tiptoe, and pressed her soft lips against Lin Chen's lips, silencing his next words.

Lin Chen's eyes widened, his gaze showing some surprise.

Zhuang Susu's face turned bright red, her eyes were tightly closed, and she dared not look at Lin Chen at all.

Lin Chen came to his senses and, instead of refusing or pushing her away, gently embraced her.

A farewell kiss.

Lin Chen was somewhat aware that Zhuang Susu liked him, but did Lin Chen not have any feelings for Zhuang Susu?

There certainly are, but they are simply restrained by reason.

After all, Lin Chen already has enough women around him, so he should try not to create any more romantic troubles.

The kiss was tender and deep.

After a long while, Zhuang Susu lowered her head, left Lin Chen's embrace, and turned around.

"I will always wait for you, wait for you to come back."

Lin Chen was also filled with many emotions that he couldn't express. He could only sigh silently, gently hugged Zhuang Susu from behind, and kissed her hair.

"Take care, I will definitely get back safely."

Lin Chen released his grip, turned around, and transformed into a streak of light, heading deeper into the starry sky.

Zhuang Susu turned around and looked at Lin Chen as he left, her eyes instantly reddening.

After a while, she took a deep breath, composed herself, and returned to normal before turning around and leaving.

When Zhuang Susu returned to the safe zone, everyone's eyes were on her face.

Did you manage to win her over?

Zhuang Susu shook her head: "We couldn't catch up. He flew very fast, and we lost him."

No one had any doubts. After all, the fire-man had flown by without stopping at all, clearly not wanting to have any interaction with them. Moreover, it was impossible to tell whether the other party was a celestial cultivator, a demon cultivator, or a trial participant of the Celestial Race.

Seven-Colored Immortal Lord complained, "You were too reckless. What if that person was a trial participant from the Celestial Clan, and all this was just to drive away other potential competitors and lure us out?"

If I hadn't heard Lin Chen call me, why would I have rashly left?

Zhuang Susu said apologetically, "I didn't think much about it at the time. I just wanted to ask him which fellow Daoist he was, since he didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards us. Looking back now, I was indeed a bit reckless."

The Seven-Colored Immortal Lord nodded and said, "Let's just wait here peacefully until the time is up and then return."

"it is good!"

Zhuang Susu sat down cross-legged again, her heart still racing as she thought about her bold actions. Lin Chen, you absolutely must come back safely!

……

Deep within the sea of ​​stars, atop a massive meteorite.

The Linglong Pagoda shimmered with golden light, and Huo Ling Shuang and the other three appeared before Lin Chen.

"I've finished my business. Now let's talk about going to the Celestial Realm."

Huo Ling Shuang asked, "You understand the situation of the four of us. After we leave, under normal circumstances, all four of us will return to our sect and will no longer stay together. You can only choose to leave with one of us..."

Lin Chen asked, "Under normal circumstances, what do you do with slaves when you capture them?"

Ning Hesheng replied, "Keep those you think are useful, after all, they are all Quasi-Saints, and subordinates with such strength are still very valuable. If you think they are useless or unnecessary, then sell them. There is a special slave market."

Lin Chen inquired carefully: "Where do the slaves in the slave market come from? They can't all have come from the Trial Grounds, can they?"

Ning Hesheng replied, "Besides the Celestial Race, there are other races in the Celestial Realm. Their existence is to serve the Celestial Race. They are all slaves with a home. There are also powerful individuals who go out into the universe to find powerful life forms and capture their strong individuals to sell as slaves."

"In the Celestial Realm, the Celestial Race rules over everything. Even the weakest Celestial Race member is high above and will never become a slave. Only other races can become slaves."

"Slaves can be sold. As long as you have the demand, you can have powerful battle slaves, beautiful female slaves, craftsmen with special skills, and so on."

"The human cultivators we encountered this time were all very strong. Once captured, they were almost all used as war slaves."

Lin Chen asked, "What are war slaves used for? To fight?"

Huo Ling Shuang replied, "The most important role is to act as a guard. Although the Celestial Race has no bottlenecks, as long as one is willing to cultivate and has enough time, one will definitely become a Quasi-Saint. However, having enough time is actually a great test of one's character. Many people do not have that much perseverance, or they are distracted by other things and do not have the resources or time to cultivate. Even if they are Celestial Race members, they will never be able to reach the Quasi-Saint realm."

Lin Chen nodded, indicating that he understood.

Although the Celestial Race possesses extraordinary talents bestowed by heaven, there are still differences in talent among the Celestial Race members, including geniuses, prodigies, and mediocre individuals.

Although there are many saints in the Celestial Race, saints are ultimately extraordinary beings and it is unlikely that they would serve as guards. Therefore, the Quasi-Saints should be considered the pinnacle of strength for the vast majority of people.

Slaves with the strength of a near-saint naturally have a market.

Based on their description, it does sound somewhat like an ancient slave society.

Slave owners were high and mighty, while slaves had no freedom and their lives were not in their own hands but in the hands of their masters.

Lin Chen asked, "After you take me back, will I be subject to any checks or other procedures?"

Huo Ling Shuang shook her head and said, "There are many saints present, so who would think there's anything wrong with the captured slaves? Just keep your spiritual power sealed and don't let anyone find out that you're normal."

“The slaves we capture are our private property. If others are interested, they can buy them at a high price, but if we ourselves are unwilling, no one can force us.”

“If a participant from a small faction captures a slave, they might be forced to buy it at a high price by someone with powerful connections, but those with real power behind them generally won’t receive such treatment…”

Lin Chen nodded: "Alright, then I'll go back to Qiyun Sect with Ning Hesheng first."

After these words were spoken, the four people had different expressions.

You Kun and Wu Heng breathed a sigh of relief, while Huo Ling Shuang looked surprised. He had originally thought Lin Chen would go back with him, after all, his sect was the strongest.

Ning Hesheng's eyes darkened, a hint of helplessness flashing in them.

Lin Chen is a ticking time bomb; anyone who keeps him by their side is likely to be in trouble, and with a bang, they'll blow themselves to bits.

Why did he choose himself?!
