The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 729 Can metaphors be used like this?
"The spoils of my killing of the sky pirates."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "The Aurora Society robbed so many people, and the spoils of more than 10 million spirit stones are not much. They sold their magic treasures for several million, and then Situ Xiu took the initiative to help me raise more than 7 million, so we raised a total of 25 million."

Lin Chen pointed to Su Mubai beside him: "I originally estimated that defending the city would cost at least 50 million spirit stones, and I even wrote to Miss Su for help. Miss Su brought 20 million spirit stones with her. Who knew that after Feng Jixin left on the fourth day, their siege began to falter, and the spirit stones they consumed decreased significantly. In the end, they didn't even consume 30 million spirit stones, which made Miss Su's trip a waste."

Su Mubai smiled sweetly: "Not spending any money is saving money, that's a good thing."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "It is indeed a good thing."

Qiao Wei stared at Lin Chen and said, "Fifty million spirit stones, and we're not even sure we can hold onto it, yet you still chose to do it. Was it worth it?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "To be honest, it is a bit painful to burn the spirit stones, but the significance of this city lies in giving the disciples of Flying Waterfall Peak a place to settle down and a future for cultivation. I think that spirit stones can be earned back, but if the city is lost, even if it is taken back in the future, the meaning will be somewhat different."

"It's like a man who has a woman he deeply loves, and someone wants to take her away. If he gives up now, even if he manages to win her back in three to five years, will the feeling be the same?"

The crowd looked at each other strangely, as if asking, "Can you really fight like this?"
Qiao Wei glared at Lin Chen: "Speak properly."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "If you were awake, Senior Sister, and you said you would give up, then I would naturally turn around and leave without saying a word. But since you are unconscious, as your junior brother, I have to do my best to protect your business."

"As for the burned spirit stones, I originally thought I would keep this debt in mind and settle it with Jinghun City and the Holy Fire Sect when we are strong enough. But now that Feng Jixin is in our hands, perhaps we won't have to wait that long to settle this debt."

Qiao Wei stared at Lin Chen, her gaze complex.

gratitude.

Glad.

This junior is really reliable!

This is my fellow disciple!
"You're not going to kill Feng Jixin?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Senior Sister, you're awake now. This has nothing to do with me. You can decide whether to kill or release me. I have no objection. I originally came out with you to broaden my horizons. This time, I was forced into it and I just happened to be incredibly lucky. Otherwise, I would probably be dead by now."

Qiao Wei pursed her lips. "Exceptional luck?"
How dare you say that.

My junior brother has quite a few secrets.

"Alright, you've all worked hard these past few days, go and rest. Leave the rest to me... Lin Chen, you stay here for a bit." After everyone left, only Lin Chen and Qiao Wei remained on the platform.

Qiao Wei stared at Lin Chen, then suddenly laughed: "Suddenly fainted?"

Lin Chen looked slightly embarrassed: "Good luck, good luck."

Qiao Wei asked, "Will you be able to maintain this level of luck when facing Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the future?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "Of course not. I was really lucky this time. I almost died."

Qiao Wei's question was actually loaded with meaning, and Lin Chen clearly understood it and answered accordingly.

This time it was luck, but next time it might not be so fortunate.

Qiao Wei didn't press Lin Chen about what methods he had used, but asked seriously, "Aside from the spirit stones consumed, were there any other losses? I will put all the blame on the Holy Fire Sect."

Lin Chen denied it: "Really, there isn't any, it's just spirit stones."

Qiao Wei patted Lin Chen on the shoulder: "Okay, I will make them pay a good price."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Take advantage of them a bit more. Senior Sister, your sword bone is still a few dozen levels short, right? Take this opportunity to squeeze them out of you. Maybe that will be enough."

Qiao Wei blinked, her expression surprised: "Aren't these your spirit stones?"

Lin Chen said with a smile, "You've seen it too. The Holy Fire Sect is very arrogant. In the end, it's because you're only a Nascent Soul cultivator. If you were to reach the Divine Transformation stage and have a body full of sword bones, you would definitely be able to crush them. Let's see if they still dare to be arrogant then. So, the most important thing is for you to refine your body full of sword bones and quickly reach the Divine Transformation stage."

"I'm only at the Golden Core stage. There are plenty of people who can bully me. Besides clinging to my senior sister's coattails, who else can I cling to? So, senior sister, you're so powerful that I can speak with confidence. So, this isn't just for you, it's for Flying Waterfall Peak, and it's for all the disciples of White Wave City."

"This time, don't ask for any spirit stones. Just tell them what precious materials you need and let them provide them. Let them gather them for you. If the Holy Flame Sect doesn't have them, let them go to other sects to buy or exchange them. In short, just make your request, and how they handle it is their business."

"They lost, so they should pay the price. Otherwise, at worst, we can kill Feng Jixin and go our separate ways. Even if their sect leader comes, I don't believe he would dare to kill anyone."
