The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 700 Senior Sister, shall I give it a try?

The flying boat traveled with the wind, with the Snow Dragon Leopard King following closely behind.

"You're quite capable, aren't you? A Golden Core cultivator actually managed to make a Nascent Soul stage beast befriend you and even willingly follow you..."

Lin Chen chuckled and recounted Su Qinghua's story: "I just benefited from it. If it hadn't been able to understand human speech and hadn't had much of its ferocity worn down by Senior Su, I wouldn't have had any of this later on."

Qiao Wei smiled and said, "Most adult demon beasts are hard to tame because they are inherently ferocious. Professional beast tamers mostly tame small beasts or breed them themselves. To tame an adult demon beast, you usually need overwhelming strength and a lot of patience. But if you can suppress it with absolute strength, what's the point of taming it?"

"It's not useful for fighting, but it can be used to show off."

Lin Chen joked, "Let's grab a phoenix to pull the carriage, or even better, let's have nine dragons pulling it, that would be so cool!"

Qiao Wei smiled and said, "The stronger the demon beast, the higher its intelligence. After the transformation stage, it can even transform into human form. To some extent, as long as you are strong enough, it is easier to subdue a demon beast in the transformation stage. After all, if its intelligence is high enough, it can communicate and make rational judgments."

The flying boat followed the edge of the secret realm forward for two days. Suddenly, the terrain narrowed, and a huge light curtain stretched across the sky, as if it were an invisible wall between heaven and earth.

Without any pause, the airship rushed past, instantly leaving the sky wall behind.

"Is this the dividing line between the secret realm and the desolate wilderness?"

Qiao Wei nodded: "Yes, this is an array barrier that can prevent outsiders and demonic beasts from entering the secret realm. People who are not from Nanyue Cave Heaven must first go to the nearby guard post and obtain permission before they can enter."

The three people and one beast flew for two days and arrived at White Wave City.

The first thing that catches the eye is a fence made of round logs, which extends endlessly, enveloping the entire city of Baitao.

Within the log fence lay fertile land, planted with vast fields of crops. Scattered among the land were villages. Flying several dozen miles further in, another stone wall came into view, at least twenty meters high, and looked incredibly sturdy.

Beyond the city walls lies the true Baitao City.

The array of light enveloped the entire city. Qiao Wei took out a token, which flew up and touched the light screen. The light screen rippled, revealing an entrance. After the flying boat entered, the light screen closed again.

Bai Tao City was built against the mountain, and the flying boat flew directly to the city lord's mansion on the mountain peak.

"City Lord!"

The three of them had barely landed in the spacious square of the City Lord's Mansion when disciples on duty greeted them with delight, while others quickly returned to report. "The Spirit Rhinoceros Storm has been going on for ten years; I haven't been here for over a decade."

Lin Chen casually asked, "So who's in charge of the daily operations here?"

“Gu Yuanjie, a disciple of Flying Waterfall Peak, is in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm and resides in Cave No. 3. He is a calm and reliable person. He usually oversees things at the City Lord's Mansion and manages this place for me. After all, as you know, I dislike worldly affairs and find dealing with these kinds of things particularly annoying…”

As soon as the three entered the city lord's mansion, a middle-aged man strode out. Upon seeing Qiao Wei, a joyful expression appeared on his face, and he respectfully bowed from afar.

"grown ups!"

Qiao Wei nodded and entered the city lord's mansion: "Let's go inside and talk."

In the main hall of the city lord's mansion, Qiao Wei sat in the city lord's chair, her tone calm: "Tell me, what happened?"

Gu Yuanjie's face showed anger: "The City of Shock has been eyeing the Black Gold Mine for a long time. In the past two years, a Nascent Soul expert has come to the City of Shock to oversee it, and the City of Shock has become much more aggressive, clashing with us repeatedly. Because the Spirit Rhinoceros Storm sealed off the secret realm and cut off communication, I made many concessions in order not to escalate the conflict. Who knew that the other side would suddenly launch an attack on the Black Gold Mine and occupy it..."

Qiao Wei nodded: "What are our casualties?"

Gu Yuanjie said through gritted teeth, "We usually take turns guarding in small teams of twenty people. They were well-prepared and had many experts. Our men couldn't hold them off. Two of them died, five were seriously injured, and the rest were all wounded."

After a pause, Gu Yuanjie added, "My daughter was the deputy captain of the garrison team that day, and she was also seriously injured in that battle, her life hanging by a thread..."

Qiao Wei's expression changed: "Qianqian?"

Gu Yuanjie's eyes suddenly reddened. He stood up, bowed deeply, and said with a sorrowful expression, "I have tried everything but still cannot save her. Please, sir, take pity on my years of hard work and lend a helping hand."

Qiao Wei frowned: "Yuan Jie, you know I'm not good at medicine, but I promise you, I will find a way to save Qianqian at all costs... Let's go see her first."

Gu Yuanjie bowed gratefully: "Thank you, sir!"

He knew that Qiao Wei was not good at medicine, but Qiao Wei was the city lord and the disciple of the master of Hengshan Cave in Nanyue. Her influence was naturally much greater. He was at most a manager of Baitao City, a kind of steward. How could he compare to her?

Lin Chen, who had been sitting quietly next to Qiao Wei, stood up: "Senior sister, I'll go too, let's see if I can help..."
