Chapter 1468: Chapter 1488 I Don’t Have Any Close Relatives _1

Lin Chen didn’t expect Zi Yun Fairy to ask so straightforwardly. Slightly embarrassed, he licked his lips and then honestly answered, "I can’t bear to."

Zi Yun Fairy squinted her eyes slightly, "I remember, you have a daoist couple, two of them, right?"

Lin Chen was even more embarrassed.

How should he explain?

His reluctance wasn’t about love?

It was about not wanting to part ways with such a beautiful, generous, and domineering boss because life with her was comfortable and enjoyable?

Just as Lin Chen was trying to articulate his answer, Zi Yun Fairy waved her hand, "No need to explain."

Lin Chen’s words choked in his throat, so he simply gave up.

Fine then.

You’re the boss, you can do as you please. How you want to interpret it, it’s up to you!

Even if you think I’ve fallen for you, it’s alright!

The two stood in silence for a while, then Zi Yun Fairy instructed, "It’s been a while since we cooked, prepare a meal."

"Okay!"

Lin Chen readily agreed. What’s wrong with hanging out with the big boss and cooking for her?

By following her all this time, hasn’t he obtained numerous amazing items?

Like the Five Elements Immortal-slaying Array, the Liuli Qiankun Umbrella, the Wooden Talisman, the Ink Silkworm Robe, and the Demonic Beast Inner Pills...

Time passed, and a month had gone by in the blink of an eye.

The Green Lotus Fire Spring surrounding the Giant Egg of Golden Winged Roc had been completely absorbed. The heartbeat of the Roc inside the egg had become increasingly distinct. With each thump, it felt like someone was squeezing Lin Chen’s heart vigorously, sending his blood surging throughout his body.

"It’s about to come out!"

Zi Yun Fairy stood by the Giant Egg, staring intently with anticipation clearly written across her always solemn face.

Lin Chen also looked forward eagerly. To wait for this creature, they had stayed almost a year in this wilderness, encountering the terrifying Great Demon, the Flame Dragon Ghost Bat. Zi Yun Fairy had nearly lost her life because of it.

"Do you want to raise it?"

Zi Yun Fairy stared at the giant egg, unexpectedly throwing out such a suggestion.

Lin Chen was startled and looked at her in shock, "Fairy..."

"If you want to raise it, I’ll let you." Zi Yun Fairy said indifferently, "I might not live to see the day it is fully grown. You’re a Human Immortal now, so you can raise it. It would be like the Three Demons you used to have by your side, it could help you, and you can grow together..."

Would he like to raise it?

Of course he would!

That’s a Golden Winged Roc!

Didn’t he see Zi Yun Fairy was severely injured and had to flee for her life from it?

If he could raise such a terrifying creature himself, who would he need to fear?

"Fairy, you risked your life to steal this..."

Zi Yun Fairy responded indifferently, "True, but I just wanted to take it and hatch it. However, I don’t have the time to raise it..."

Despite his desire, Lin Chen suppressed his greed and sincerely suggested, "Fairy, I don’t know whether you would still consider this as part of the Nine-Turn Da Luo Pill reward, but you’ve already given me so much. Moreover, I possess the Nine-Turn Da Luo Pill prescription myself and did not obtain it solely for you, so you owe me nothing."

"I don’t know which sect Zi Yun Fairy comes from, but even if you don’t have the time to raise it, bringing it back to your sect, even just as a beast guarding the mountain, would certainly be beneficial."

"If there are people close to you, you could also give it to them. If well raised, this Golden Winged Roc could ensure peace for a lifetime. I am neither close to you nor related to you. Gifting me such a valuable creature would make me feel undeserving."

Zi Yun Fairy turned to look into Lin Chen’s eyes, as if trying to see his true intentions.

That’s a Golden Winged Roc. Who could resist the temptation to care for one?

Like the Mountain Overlooking Beast, White Ape they met before, it wouldn’t even be worthy to tie the Golden Winged Roc’s shoes, it would probably end up simply as a supper meal for the Roc.

Lin Chen met Zi Yun Fairy’s gaze calmly, his eyes clear.

"Why reject?"

Lin Chen smiled, "I do have greed in my heart, but I put myself in your shoes and I thought, even if you have no use for it, there must be loved ones who could. Otherwise, once they find out you gave the Golden Winged Roc to me, they might resent you for giving such a valuable creature to an outsider like me..."

Zi Yun Fairy saw sincerity in Lin Chen’s eyes and was convinced it was his genuine thoughts.

Zi Yun Fairy’s lips lifted slightly, "Quite good."

Quite good?

What does that mean?

Just as Lin Chen was trying to process her words, a sudden cracking sound came from beside him.

Instinctively turning his head, he saw a crack had appeared on the giant egg, and it was rapidly widening. The Golden Winged Roc’s young bird inside was struggling to push outwards, its beak already making a big hole in the eggshell.

"It’s hatching!"

Lin Chen turned in excitement, only to discover that Zi Yun Fairy had disappeared from behind him.

She had left the hatching room!

"Fairy..."

"It’s yours now." Zi Yun Fairy’s voice was calm, without any major fluctuations, "Don’t think too much. I don’t have anyone close to me. If I must say I have someone close to me, it’s you..."
