Chapter 1255: Chapter 1275: Why is there a kind of inexplicable pride? _1

"Are you afraid that I’ll agree to your terms, sign the contract, and then kill you?"

After completing the contract signing with Ji Ruxue and Yan Chusheng, Lin Chen stared at Ji Ruxue: "I do remember that the first time we met, you dressed in white, chased me to kill me, and nearly did it..."

Ji Ruxue looked calm: "I was indeed worried before that because of this, you wouldn’t accept me, but I never thought that you would kill me after signing the contract by exploiting the Master-Servant Contract."

Lin Chen laughed and asked, "Why not?"

Ji Ruxue replied, "Firstly, you are the Human Emperor. Secondly, even if you wanted to kill me, you could wait until you become more powerful and kill me yourself. It would still be justified. If you signed a contract and used it to kill me, wouldn’t that tarnish your image?"

Lin Chen smiled, "You do see through things. Although you did want to kill me, I don’t hold a grudge. Firstly, I didn’t get hurt at all; it was you who suffered. Secondly, you were there to fulfill your duties, not because of any personal grudge."

"Regardless of your past actions or your goals, since you willingly chose this, you must risk your lives for me. Of course, if one day I become powerful, I will not forget to reward you."

Ji Ruxue bowed, answering simply, "Yes, Master, if we encounter danger, we will die before anything happens to you."

Lin Chen smiled, "Even though you’ve placed your lives in my hands, and I can threaten you to do anything, I still tend to honor principles and mutual consent."

"Right now, I don’t have enough strength, and I certainly need your help. In times like these, you must help me wholeheartedly, and I will remember your kindness. When I am powerful enough, I will restore your freedom."

"I keep my word."

Lin Chen, originated from the Human World, after all, is not the cold-blooded powerhouse who disregards lives in the Barren Wilderness or the Immortal Realm; he has his own bottom line.

With Lin Chen’s promise, Ji Ruxue and others felt significantly relieved in their hearts.

After all, Lin Chen is the Human Emperor, recognized by the Emperor’s Seal, his words are undoubtedly trustworthy.

Ji Ruxue exclaimed, "Master is kind-hearted; I will serve with all my heart and soul. In short, if the Master is in danger and is about to die, I will certainly die first."

Yan Chusheng, who was standing aside, realized he must express his position. But what could he say when Ji Ruxue had already said it all?

Yan Chusheng bowed and said, at a loss for words, "Me too!"

A hint of a smile crossed Lin Chen’s lips as he barely kept his expression.

"Let’s return to Cold Winter City. Oh, by the way, from now on, you can call me... Boss."

Lin Chen returned to Cold Winter City with the trio, noticing the buzz of activity with the large flying boats, the constant stream of people, and the bustling scene.

These should be the powers of various Great Sects that originally rushed to support the battlefield.

Upon reaching the City Lord’s Mansion, Lin Chen barely took a step inside when he saw someone coming out.

Looking carefully, Lin Chen’s face lit up with surprise.

"Master!"

"Senior Brother! Second Senior Brother! Senior Sister!"

"How come you all are here?"

Master Shi Changsheng, Senior Brother Li Ping’an, Second Senior Brother Bai Mo, and Third Senior Sister Qiao Wei were all standing on the steps, smiling at Lin Chen.

Bai Mo laughed, "Fighting together makes us closer. You were battling on the front line, and we couldn’t just stand by. As soon as we got the news, we hurried over. Who knew you tackled everything by yourself..."

Li Ping’an said, "Junior Brother is becoming more and more powerful. We heard that you went into Closed Door Cultivation to break the realm. By the looks of it, you have succeeded, right?"

Lin Chen, excited, stepped forward to greet his master, brothers, and sister.

"I broke the realm... Why are you here, where are the others?"

Qiao Wei explained with a laugh, "They are in a safe place. Senior Gui is looking after them. There’s no worry about safety. We thought to support you, who knew the battle would be over."

Lin Chen laughed, "I was fortunate to have the fairies’ help. Master, let’s talk inside."

Lin Chen turned to Yuan Ji and said, "Arrange rooms for them."

"Yes!"

Once the trio left, Shi Changsheng looked at their retreating figures, "Who are they?"

Lin Chen laughed, "There’s one more, Si Defa. They’re all the guards of the Valley of Death, half Immortals, who now serve me..."

Shi Changsheng’s face was filled with a complex emotion.

His disciple was exceptional.

In just a few years, Lin Chen had gone from being at the Golden Core Realm when he entered the Barren Wilderness to the Hollow Void Realm now. The speed of his progress could be considered unparalleled in history!

Countless powers from various sects had gathered to attack the Valley of Death. Many perished, and finally, the four Immortal Slaves were defeated, and the Valley of Death was taken. But now, these four Immortal Slaves had become Lin Chen’s slaves, serving him, their lives in his hands.

Initially, Shi Changsheng had accepted Lin Chen as his disciple out of appreciation for an old friend and entrusted him to Qiao Wei’s care. However, he never expected Lin Chen to achieve so much in such a short time.

Looking back, although Lin Chen’s success seems to have very little to do with him, why is he inexplicably proud?
