The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3697 None of you will escape

"What do you recommend?"

Lin Chen shook his head in response to Nalan Wushuang's question.

"The only advice I can give is that you should not overlap with the Dao attributes they cultivate."

Gu Yuexi asked curiously, "Why?"

Lin Chen replied, "In the future, I will embark on the path of fighting against the gods. If I am lucky enough to succeed, I should be able to seize some of the gods' divine essences. If they don't overlap, I will retain a little possibility of becoming a god myself."

"What I'm saying is just the best-case scenario, but it doesn't mean it will definitely happen. Who knows, one day we might fail to fight against the gods, or even be killed by them."

Everyone suddenly realized, and Chu Jiaxue chuckled, "Your goal is certainly ambitious."

Lin Chen spread his hands: "There was no other way. I was almost killed by the God of Creation. In order to survive, I had to make a contract with him and help him. In the eyes of the God, this was a capital crime that deserved to die. Since that was the case, I had no choice but to take a gamble."

"Although the probability is small, it still exists."

Nalan Wushuang asked worriedly, "You have the Five Elements Spiritual Root, so aren't we the same as you?"

Lin Chen replied, "The Five Elements Spiritual Roots require the corresponding Great Dao Spirits of the Five Elements to advance to the Saint level. Saints with Five Elements attributes can cultivate the techniques and supernatural powers of the five attributes, and can even descend to earth, attracting the projection of the Five Elements Gods. However, if one becomes a God, one can only choose one, because the Godhood is unique, and one cannot have two Godhoods coexisting."

"I can choose any of the five attributes of the divine power. Yueyue is currently the wood attribute, Wenyan is the water attribute, and the remaining attributes are metal, earth, and fire. I have inherited the legacy of the Ancestor Chen, who perished while vying for the position of the Earth God. If possible, I will choose earth."

"Of course, I might also choose fire, since I've always used fire-based techniques in battle the most."

“Earth and fire do not conflict with you, so Nalan, you don’t need to consider me. Whatever you choose is what it is, and it won’t affect me.”

Nalan Wushuang thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll choose metal. My strange phenomenon can actually be considered to be of the metal element."

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Is 'Azure Sea with Bright Moon' a metal element?"

Nalan Wushuang laughed and said, "The first stage, Azure Sea Tide, is of the water attribute; the second stage, Azure Sea Plants Golden Lotus, is of the water and wood attributes; the third stage, Azure Sea Gives Birth to Bright Moon, is of the water and metal attributes; and the Bright Moon Cuts Down is the killing power of the metal attribute."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "If you choose the metal element, will you still be able to use your special abilities in the future?"

Nalan Wushuang shook her head: "I don't know about that, since there's no precedent to follow."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Even if there's no sea, the moon will still rise."

Everyone was amused by Lin Chen's words.

The matter was settled. Chu Jiaxue, Gu Yuexi, Shang Wenyan, and Nalan Wushuang each took a portion of the Great Dao Spirit, while Lin Chen took the remaining portion with the Xuan Yang attribute back to see what attribute he could exchange it for later.

Lin Chen glanced at Zhen Liuxue, Zhuang Susu, and Yao Xuanji: "Next, I will find a way to exchange for the Great Dao Spirit. Whoever gets it will go into seclusion first. There's no need to rush the other two. I've already established a firm foothold. With the cooperation of Xuefeng Palace and Taohua Palace, it should be quite easy for me to obtain the Great Dao Spirit in the future."

Zhuang Susu quickly refused: "Don't worry about me for now. Just change their clothes first. I'll figure out a way to get out later when it's easier for them to go out."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Su Su, there are only a few of us here, so don't act like an outsider. Why are you being so polite? Putting aside my promise to your master to take good care of you, there's no need to be so formal with us."

Gu Yuexi said with a smile, "Sister Susu, we'll be family sooner or later, so let's not stand on ceremony." Zhuang Susu's face instantly turned red, and she frantically waved her hands, "No, no, don't misunderstand..."

Gu Yuexi laughed and said, "Oh, don't deny it. We've been through this kind of thing several times before, so there's no need to be shy."

“If we were just mortals with limited lives, Brother Chen would be overwhelmed with so many sisters. But now we are all immortals with long lives. It’s not a bad thing to have a few sisters to keep things lively.”

"The fact that Brother Chen brought you to the Celestial Realm speaks volumes. Would he do this if he didn't completely trust someone?"

"You all agree, am I right?"

Shang Wenyan, Nalan Wushuang, and the other women all smiled somewhat shyly. After all, they were also newcomers, and they all had feelings for each other, but they were constrained by the fact that Lin Chen already had a wife. They had spent a very long time together before finally getting together.

Isn't Zhuang Susu now just a carbon copy of herself back then?

Chu Jiaxue smiled and said, "Yueyue speaks frankly, but what she said makes sense. Everyone here is family. Don't feel like an outsider, and don't worry that we will treat you like an outsider."

"The path to immortality is long, and it is fate that we can accompany each other. Let's get along well and cherish this bond."

Chu Jiaxue paused, glanced at Lin Chen beside her, and said with a smile, "Our Uncle Lin is very fair and impartial, he would never let anyone be neglected."

Lin Chen touched his nose and chuckled.

So many years have passed, and we're now an old married couple. He's long been used to their teasing.

He's become really shameless now.

Zhuang Susu blushed and thanked everyone, "Thank you all for taking care of me, but I'll let Sister Xue and Sister Xuanji go first. After all, it's my duty to go last."

Zhuang Susu's meaning was clear: if I'm not family with you, then I'm just a friend, and it's only right that I'm last in line; if I am family with you, then I was the last to join, and I should be last in line as well.

You can be tolerant of me, but I cannot be immature.

Zhen Liuxue pouted: "Don't drag me into your business. I was lucky to survive, it was pure profit, I'm not in a hurry at all."

Gu Yuexi's gaze fell on Zhen Liuxue's face, her expression somewhat sly, as if she had ill intentions.

Zhen Liuxue turned to stare at Gu Yuexi: "What kind of look is that?"

Gu Yuexi chuckled: "Sister Xue, don't just stand by and watch the show. It's only a matter of time."

Zhen Liuxue seemed to have been pricked by a needle and cried out, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just an old woman..."

Gu Yuexi laughed and said, "Why don't you look in the mirror? You're so stunningly beautiful, how dare you call yourself an old woman? You've regained your youth, so naturally your heart is young too. Where is there any old woman mentality in you now?"

"If we must discuss age, if twenty-year-old Brother Chen meets Sister Xue who is over a thousand years old, he should respectfully call her 'senior.' But if Brother Chen is a thousand or ten thousand years old, would he still need to respectfully call you 'senior'?"
