My Sexy Female CEO

Hearing the man graciously offer such a high monthly salary, Yi Chen was a bit overwhelmed and immediately responded, "Enough! Enough!"

From ordinary boxing matches, he had to work hard for ten rounds to not even earn that much money; now, just by comfortably sitting in the security room, he could receive one hundred thousand yuan. What more could he possibly want?

"Don't agree so quickly; a high salary means great responsibilities. Honestly, I have some issues with Xiao Dao's group. They came to my company today, caused severe damage, and even involved innocent employees in their injury; therefore, I need a capable person to help me protect my company." Lin Yifan clearly explained his reason.

"Benefactor! They're causing trouble; why didn't you take action and teach them a lesson? Weren't you at the company?" Yi Chen asked, puzzled.

If Lin Yifan, who was at a higher realm than him, couldn't handle them, what was the use of him going there?

"Honestly, I am still a bodyguard and can't stay at the company every day; so, I can only ask you to take a stand there for a while." Lin Yifan answered.

"Still a bodyguard? You're a boss now, why are you still working as someone else's bodyguard?" Yi Chen asked.

"As you said earlier, some favors must be repaid. At my most desperate time for money, it was she who helped me; now that she is in trouble, I cannot ignore it." Lin Yifan answered.

"Oh! I see." Yi Chen understood Lin Yifan's actions and then said, "Alright, I will do my utmost to help you protect the company, Benefactor."

"Thank you. But don't worry, Xiao Dao's people won't be coming to the company to cause trouble for a while," Lin Yifan said.

"Why?" Yi Chen asked.

"Because they are all afraid of the high-skilled individual behind me," Lin Yifan said with a slight smile.

"A high-skilled individual? Benefactor, do you have a master? Didn't you say before that you were self-taught?" Yi Chen continued to inquire, still curious.

"I'll explain this to you slowly later." Lin Yifan answered.

The landlord's grandmother apparently didn't want anyone to know she was a cultivator, so he couldn't tell Yi Chen about this, or else his life would be at risk.

"Alright." Yi Chen responded.

Since Lin Yifan didn't want to talk about it, he must have his unspeakable reasons; thus, it was better not to press him further.

After a long silence, Lin Yifan suddenly thought of a question and said to Yi Chen, "I want to discuss a question with you."

"What question?" Yi Chen asked.

"How do you absorb, refine, and condense cultivation power?" Lin Yifan replied.

"Benefactor, you don't even know this? What about your cultivation power…" Yi Chen asked, surprised.

"Oh! About that, let me explain; I have my own cultivation method, but I am just curious about how you cultivate," Lin Yifan explained, somewhat flustered.

The matter of the black bead was too bizarre, and it was also his trump card, so he couldn't casually tell others, especially cultivators.

"Benefactor, you even have your own set of Qi Refinement Techniques? That is so awesome! Our entire Cultivation World only has one Qi Refinement Technique." Yi Chen gave a thumbs-up in admiration; he was really impressed.

Being praised like this made Lin Yifan somewhat embarrassed; after all, it was something he had fabricated, not presentable in respectful company. However, circumstances being as they were, he could only keep up with this lie now.

Thus, out of curiosity, he asked, "How do you practice this Qi Refinement Technique?"

In the Cultivation World, Qi Refinement Technique is not a secret; every cultivator knows it, so there's no harm in speaking about it; hence, Yi Chen replied, "Our Qi Refinement Technique works like this: first, relax the body, eliminate all distractions, calm and still the mind; then merge oneself with nature, and open all the pores of the body. When exhaling, via the pores all over the body, expel the impurities within to the outside world; when inhaling, through the pores all over, draw the Spiritual Energy from the outside world into the Dantian; thus, by opening and closing the pores all over the body, sending out and taking in, exchange Spiritual Energy with the natural world; ultimately, reach a state where the internal and external unify, achieving a oneness between heaven and man."

"Uh... this sounds a bit mysterious, doesn't it?" Lin Yifan broke out in a cold sweat, and then asked, "How do you expel the internal impurities when you exhale? And how do you draw the external Spiritual Energy into the body when you inhale?"

"That's for you to comprehend, as not everyone can cultivate," Yi Chen answered, then curiously asked, "Honored sir, how do you practice your Qi Refinement Technique?"

Lin Yifan, with a heart full of guilt, said to Yi Chen, "This... our Sect has rules that it's not to be disclosed; I'm sorry."

How could he reveal any cultivation method when he didn't even know what Qi Refinement was?

"It's no trouble; I understand," Yi Chen responded.

Every sect in the Cultivation World has its unique Cultivation Techniques and secret manuals that are not to be disclosed; just like his Golden Bell Shield martial art, if Lin Yifan asked him, he would not reveal it either; so he completely understood Lin Yifan's actions.

"I'm glad you don't mind." Lin Yifan felt very embarrassed; deceiving an honest person truly brought feelings of guilt.

After discussing the work location and time, he escorted Yi Chen back to his rented place.

There, he saw Yi Chen's mother.

Yi Chen's mother was pale and thin, with sparse hair, and overall appeared listless, a frail elderly woman.

At that moment, seeing Yi Chen return with injuries, she hurriedly sat up from the bed, and with a weak voice, reproachfully asked, "Dahao, how did you get hurt again?"

(Yi Chen's real name is Ding Dahao, and his monastic name is Yi Chen.)

"Mom! I got hurt accidentally while moving bricks at the construction site," Yi Chen replied.

He chose to deceive because he did not want his sick mother to worry about him.

Lin Yifan stood by, understanding Yi Chen's actions; he would have done the same if it were him.

"Can you accidentally get hurt on your eyes and nose? Can you get cut wounds by accident? What exactly are you working as?" Yi Chen's mother grew a bit frantic.

Seeing her son injured day after day, which parent in the world wouldn't worry or feel heartache?

"I was just moving bricks," Yi Chen dodged the question, never daring to look his mother in the eye.

"How long do you plan to keep lying to mom? Although mom is old and sick, my mind is still sharp. Tell me, what exactly are you working as?" Yi Chen's mother pressed again.

"Brother Yi Chen, just tell her directly, don't let your mother worry anymore," Lin Yifan persuaded from the side.

Since she had already suspected, further deceit was pointless; it was better to simply answer directly, perhaps this could alleviate some of her worries.

After pondering for a moment, Yi Chen also felt this made sense; now that he had found a formal job, he believed his mother would be relieved to hear it, so he answered, "Mom! I'm sorry, these days, I've been fighting in underground bouts."
