Female Star's Personal Bodyguard

After a few more days, Zhu Ziyue finally woke up. However, she woke up at the wrong time and saw things she shouldn't have seen.

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

Zhu Ziyue looked at the two of them and scolded loudly.

"Master, you're awake?" Fang Ruolan said in a panic.

"Fang Ruolan, you really are something!" Zhu Ziyue scolded her coldly without looking at her. "How can you act like this, with no sense of propriety and shame!"

"I..."

Fang Ruolan didn't know what to say, because Zhu Ziyue had been unconscious for so long with no sign of waking up. Fang Ruolan had gotten used to it, and who would have thought Zhu Ziyue would suddenly wake up and catch her in the act with Ye Chen... It's no wonder Zhu Ziyue was angry, even Fang Ruolan was annoyed; why did she have to wake up at that moment, interrupting her plans with Ye Chen!

"Ye Chen, why are you here?" At this moment, Zhu Ziyue turned her head and looked at Ye Chen coldly. "My disciple waited for you for ten years, and you never sought her out. How do you have the face to show up now?"

This cave mansion was her place of sacrifice; seeing Ye Chen and Fang Ruolan getting cozy here was something Zhu Ziyue couldn't accept!

So, after shouting at her disciple, Zhu Ziyue started yelling at Ye Chen, simply venting her frustration.

But Ye Chen wasn't Fang Ruolan; he didn't have such a good temper. Zhu Ziyue wasn't his wife, so why should he put up with her?

"What are you blathering about here?" Ye Chen said with a frown. "We saved your life, and instead of being grateful, you are casting blame on us. Is this your attitude?"

"Is this how you treat your saviors?"

Being with his wife, anything he did was natural and justifiable, so what right did Zhu Ziyue have to shout?

Moreover, Ye Chen had just had his flame kindled, only to be scared off by Zhu Ziyue, which left him feeling quite annoyed.

"What you were doing here was wrong in the first place, yet you refuse to acknowledge it. Is this your attitude?" Zhu Ziyue, just waking up, had witnessed the vivid scene and was still excited and unsettled.

"If you dare glare at me again, do you believe I'll smack you dead?" Ye Chen said with a fierce look.

"..." Ye Chen's voice was cold, and as he raised his palm with terrifying force, ready to strike down at any time, Zhu Ziyue felt a hint of fear.

Seeing Ye Chen intimidating Zhu Ziyue, Fang Ruolan did not stop him and instead felt slightly gleeful.

Zhu Ziyue was her master, normally with an aloof demeanor, seemingly formidable. But now, seeing her intimidated by Ye Chen and showing a hint of fear, Fang Ruolan found it amusing, almost laughing out loud.

Oh my, this is too funny!

Ye Chen looked at Zhu Ziyue with a stern expression, making her completely settle down. Fang Ruolan, seeing this, wanted to laugh but dared not, and the atmosphere remained tense and stagnant.

"Where's Li Wuxie?" After a moment of silence, Zhu Ziyue asked.

Zhu Ziyue had been injured by Li Wuxie and then fell unconscious. But when she woke up, Li Wuxie was already gone, which puzzled Zhu Ziyue because the crisis seemed to have been averted!

"Master, Li Wuxie is dead, completely obliterated!" Fang Ruolan said.

Li Wuxie was a scoundrel, having done countless heinous things, and his death was not to be regretted.

Moreover, he was utterly inhumane, even betraying his mentor and ancestors. Fortunately, Ye Chen descended like a savior and killed him, allowing Fang Ruolan to finally vent her anger.

"Li Wuxie was a Saint King, practically invincible in the world. Who could possibly kill him?" Zhu Ziyue said incredulously.

Li Wuxie indeed incited hatred, but his cultivation was extraordinarily high, even causing calamity for Zhu Ziyue. Who could have punished him?

"Ye Chen!" Fang Ruolan glanced at her beloved, exuding pride.

"Ye Chen?" Zhu Ziyue was stunned. "Li Wuxie was a powerful Saint King, how could Ye Chen possibly kill him?"

Zhu Ziyue's knowledge of Ye Chen was limited and dated back many years, so hearing Fang Ruolan's words, she couldn't quite believe it at first.

"He surely could!" Fang Ruolan affirmed without doubt.

"Eh." Zhu Ziyue was taken aback again, then looked at Ye Chen. "Li Wuxie was a Saint King; what level is Ye Chen's cultivation?"

"I don't know either!" Fang Ruolan replied. "But Li Wuxie's imposing arrival was met with a single punch from Ye Chen that killed him, leaving not even dregs behind!"

"A single punch killed Li Wuxie?" Zhu Ziyue asked, her eyes wide open.

Li Wuxie had obtained powerful legacies, advancing to the realm of a Saint King, incredibly strong and seemingly without bounds!

Yet, this powerful and invincible Li Wuxie was beaten to death by Ye Chen with one punch?!

This left Zhu Ziyue flabbergasted and confused; how could Ye Chen be so mighty?

"Ruolan, are you deceiving me?" Zhu Ziyue paused for a moment, then asked Fang Ruolan.

Li Wuxie, such a powerful person, was killed in one punch by Ye Chen. How could Zhu Ziyue possibly believe that?

"Master, why would I lie to you!" Fang Ruolan said. "Moreover, do I even need to deceive you?"

"If Ye Chen hadn't descended from the skies and killed Li Wuxie, how would I still be alive?"

"..."

Finally, Zhu Ziyue stopped doubting and fell silent. Because what Fang Ruolan said was true, if not for this, how could they have survived?

"Master, there's one more thing I haven't mentioned!" Fang Ruolan contemplated.

"What else is there?" Zhu Ziyue said with a frown.

"The heritage of Miaojiang is severed!" Fang Ruolan said.

"What?" Zhu Ziyue exclaimed again. "The heritage of Miaojiang is severed? The foundation of Miaojiang spans centuries; how could it be severed just like that?"

"It's true!" Fang Ruolan said. "Li Wuxie performed a Gu God sacrifice and even made you, master, a sacrifice. As a result, the Gu God truly descended, devouring thousands of Gu Masters, and the heritage of Miaojiang was thereby annihilated!"

"Now, in the vast Miaojiang, only you and I remain!"

"What, that's impossible!" Zhu Ziyue almost jumped upon hearing this. "The Gu God is a legendary existence; how could it possibly descend in reality? Moreover, the Gu God is an exalted and mighty being; if it truly descended here, how could we possibly survive?"

Fang Ruolan's confident assertions seemed full of holes to Zhu Ziyue.

"Master, I'm not lying; the Gu God really did descend but was killed by Ye Chen with one punch, just like Li Wuxie!" Fang Ruolan said.

"Oh, please!" Zhu Ziyue glanced at Fang Ruolan, full of disdain.

The Gu God is such a being, immensely solemn and mysterious. How could Ye Chen fend it off, let alone kill it with one punch?!

"Master, I'm really not lying to you; the Gu God was scared off by Ye Chen!" Fang Ruolan said. "Moreover, the Gu God descended twice and was repelled by Ye Chen twice!"

"Are you playing a child's trick on me?" Zhu Ziyue said in exasperation.

"Master, I'm really not deceiving you. The heritage of Miaojiang is severed; if you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself!" Fang Ruolan said.

"You." Zhu Ziyue hesitated.

Fang Ruolan spoke with such seriousness, not at all like she was joking, causing a chill in Zhu Ziyue's heart and a sense of foreboding.

In the end, Zhu Ziyue, harboring a sliver of doubt, stepped out of her dwelling and released her Divine Sense to envelop Miaojiang.

However, when her consciousness covered Miaojiang and sensed the desolation, her entire expression changed.
