Female Star's Personal Bodyguard

The big star Liu Shihua, who was in a coma, was slapped awake by Ye Chen, demonstrating that Ye Chen's medical skills were of a heaven-and-earth-shattering level.

In fact, not only was Ye Chen proficient in both literary and military strategies and unparalleled in medical skills, but he could also cook a mean dish!

The array of ingredients brought back from the market were transformed into a tempting feast under Ye Chen's cooking, filling the entire table.

However, as Ye Chen contentedly took his place at the dinner table, ready to enjoy the meal, he saw Zhang Xinlan's disgusted expression.

Seeing the goddess's displeasure, the palm prints on Ye Chen's right cheek seemed to throb with pain again.

In Zhang Xinlan's eyes, Ye Chen slapping Liu Shihua awake was an act of shamelessness.

Slapping someone to save them, isn't that too violent!

Moreover, if you could slap her awake, just two slaps would have done it, why did you have to examine her!

Zhang Xinlan couldn't understand it, so she was very angry.

To satisfy his own selfish desires, such shameless deception, what a big fraud!

Even though Ye Chen had woken Liu Shihua, Zhang Xinlan still felt that Ye Chen was very despicable; she detested such people, such actions!

"Sister, please don't be so serious, you're frightening poor Ye Chen!" Liu Shihua, the person involved, actually didn't have such an extreme reaction.

Liu Shihua glanced at Ye Chen, she had heard the whole story from Zhang Xinlan, but she wasn't angry, rather, she found it quite legendary.

Ye Chen knew martial arts and even checked her condition with True Qi, wasn't that too fantastical?

Liu Shihua seemed to be brainwashed by those fantasy novels; the enigmatic Ye Chen had her falling into a lovestruck daze.

"Heh," Zhang Xinlan scoffed, making no effort to conceal her disdain.

Ye Chen: "..."

Ye Chen couldn't understand why Zhang Xinlan was still so furious, even hostile toward him, despite having saved Liu Shihua!

Could it be those violent slaps?

Ye Chen looked at Liu Shihua and saw his faint palm prints on the big star's cheeks, feeling a sense of guilt. If he had known earlier, he would have used gentler means. Upon realizing that the beautiful woman was staring at him with lovesick eyes, Ye Chen quickly lowered his head shyly, focusing on the rice in his bowl.

"Ye Chen, your cooking skills are amazing!" Liu Shihua said as she picked at the food on the table, occasionally glancing up at Ye Chen, truly impressed by his culinary talent.

"Shihua, you're still young, you don't understand the malice of the human heart," Zhang Xinlan sneered, clearly still angry.

Ye Chen: "..."

Liu Shihua kept silent, puzzled about what was wrong with Zhang Xinlan. Wasn't she a bit interested in Ye Chen? Now why was she squeezing him at every turn.

Liu Shihua was young and didn't know how terrifying a jealous woman could be.

Yes, Zhang Xinlan was angry because she was jealous!

Ye Chen, being a Grandmaster, needed a lot of food to maintain the vigor of his rich and invincible blood Qi, despite being sincere and eating modestly.

Many martial arts books recorded the likes of Ye Chen, Grandmaster Realm warriors, the limit of humanity, with blood like lava, exhalations like rainbows, eating three cows and five sheep a day!

This was the real appetite of a Grandmaster, but eating three cows and five sheep a day was something that only came after fasting for several days.

Ye Chen could enter a transcendental fasting state, where he could go without food for dozens of days, but after fasting, only the diet of three cows and five sheep could replenish the lost blood Qi.

However, the fasting state, though mystical and removed from the ordinary, took a huge toll on the body, and Grandmasters would normally not expend themselves so.

There were legendary beings so powerful that they could remain in a fasting state for months, even more than a dozen months, without consuming worldly sustenance, virtually non-human—those who had surpassed Grandmaster-level beings, reaching the realm of a Land God!

Ye Chen was striving toward the realm of a Land God, but he had not yet reached such a level, so he still needed to eat to keep his blood Qi robust, always maintaining his peak condition.

Zhang Xinlan's face was gloomy, but she still ate two bowls of rice because the dishes Ye Chen made were really tasty.

Ye Chen had successfully conquered the goddess's palate, but she had yet to forgive him; she was still jealous.

Liu Shihua felt satisfied and patted her belly; she really had overeaten.

Zhang Xinlan said she was too naive, and indeed that was the case. Faced with delicious food, Liu Shihua didn't put on any airs and simply filled her stomach to bursting.

"Shihua, let's go rest," Zhang Xinlan said.

With a cold glance at Ye Chen, Zhang Xinlan took Liu Shihua's arm and returned to the bedroom.

Ye Chen: "…"

It seemed that Zhang Xinlan was set on giving him the silent treatment. Ye Chen suddenly realized how miserable he was; if not for the incident with Liu Shihua, he should be holding the goddess's hand, enjoying the romantic moonlight.

The departure of the beauty left Ye Chen profoundly sorrowful.

But even a humble person has their day to turn things around. He was determined to take Zhang Xinlan as his wife and have her serve him foot bath water.

Before that, though, Ye Chen needed to strengthen his body to maintain abundant energy, which was the only way to a successful turnaround!

Therefore, Ye Chen entered the ultimate foodie mode, consuming all the remaining food on the table and filling his belly. Only by eating well could he become stronger, only then would he have the strength to win over the goddess!

"Zhang Xinlan, did I really pass out today?" Liu Shihua asked.

Zhang Xinlan nodded, massaging her temples, trying to relieve the pressure.

"It's strange, I feel like I just took a short nap and didn't feel uncomfortable at all! You said he checked my body, but why didn't I feel anything?" Liu Shihua was genuinely puzzled. "You know I'm very sensitive to external contacts. Over the years, no matter how soundly I sleep, just a touch from you wakes me up. So why did I not awaken when Ye Chen examined me, nor feel anything at all?"

Zhang Xinlan remained silent. Liu Shihua's words had indirectly proven that Ye Chen's actions had been appropriate—she may have been in a deep sleep, immune to external stimuli.

"This Ye Chen has always been shrouded in mystery, and now he's even more enigmatic," Liu Shihua said meaningfully.

"You don't have to make excuses for him. Even if he woke you up, he still took advantage of you," Zhang Xinlan said with displeasure, pinpointing the true reason for her anger.

Zhang Xinlan was a famed beauty and talent agent in the entertainment industry, navigating the extremely intricate social networks with skill—undoubtedly a very wise woman.

Liu Shihua's previous condition had been terrifying. If not for her heartbeat and breathing, Zhang Xinlan might have mistaken her for dead.

Before Ye Chen slapped Liu Shihua twice, Zhang Xinlan had also attempted such an action, but her approach wasn't as forceful as Ye Chen's, resulting in no awakening.

Yet, the same method wielded by Ye Chen worked miraculously, and Liu Shihua woke up instantly—this was all Zhang Xinlan needed to make her judgment.

Therefore, on Zhang Xinlan's little finger was still the silver ring engraved with stars.

Indeed, Zhang Xinlan felt jealous. Even though she had slapped Ye Chen, her anger was not fully quelled.

"Immovable King, a punch like a mountain collapse!"

Ye Chen stood quietly in the room, suddenly bursting out with a punch. In that instant, there was the sound of mountains crumbling, and the roar of tigers and leopards echoed within him without end.

"A breath like a rainbow, his mouth holding divine power!"

As Ye Chen exhaled, a visible mist formed with his breath, swift as an arrow, striking the floor and making a muffled impact sound.

The mist dissipated, and the floor remained intact. Had his breath shattered the marble floor, Ye Chen would have reached the realm of a Land God.

"My current level of True Qi has not yet reached the Grandmaster Peak; the gap to reach the realm of the Land God stretches for a vast distance. The outcome of the battle three years from now is uncertain," Ye Chen murmured.

If he reached the Grandmaster Peak, a rainbow would burst forth from his mouth, and the marble beneath his feet would shatter completely. If aimed at a vital spot, such a strike could be lethal!

Ye Chen was still young. For a martial artist of his age to reach the status of a Grandmaster was exceedingly rare. He had plenty of time to squander without need for hasty progress.

However, a few months ago, Ye Chen received a challenge letter at his hometown. The fight was scheduled for three years later, and the person who penned the letter was none other than a renowned martial arts titan.

The challenger was a world-famous martial arts titan, with martial arts skills that were no less superior to his own!

There was no avoiding this fight. Ye Chen knew that the other party must be aware of some of his details, intending to use him as a stepping stone. Even if he fled to the ends of the world, they would find him.

While Ye Chen was still in the military region, such figures would have been wary of Huaxia's military and dared not blatantly challenge him. After all, Ye Chen's position was extraordinary; he was a national treasure, a 'Heavenly King.'

But once 'Ye Heavenly King' lost the protection of the Huaxia military, such people became unrestrained. The fighting spirit of martial artists was exceptionally strong, especially those in the Grandmaster realm!

As they approached what seemed like the end of their martial arts journey, only the strongest battle could help them ascend to an even higher realm!

Compared to them, Ye Chen lacked some depth, but he also had his strengths—the vigor of youth at the prime of his life, with limitless potential!
