Female Star's Personal Bodyguard

"All right, this is the ward!" Chu Yanran said gravely, somewhat displeased with the style of these experts who chattered incessantly, whether or not there was something important at hand.

"Mr. Qi, is the medicine that Mr. Ye fed to the elderly lady the Hundred Treasures Elixir?" Chu Yanran asked Qi Bai, as Mr. Qi had just been handling the pill for a while and seemed to know its origin.

"Although there are disagreements, that medicine is indeed the Hundred Treasures Elixir," Qi Bai responded. "I once saw many records about the Hundred Treasures Elixir in an ancient book. Whether it's in terms of fragrance, color, or shape, it matches exactly with the pill Mr. Ye presented!"

"That's wonderful!" Chu Yanran was overjoyed, aware from the discussion among these experts that the Hundred Treasures Elixir possessed the power to bring the dead to life.

"What!"

A statement from Mr. Qi delighted Chu Yanran but caused those experts to turn pale with shock. A young man casually presenting a Thousand-Year-Lost Hundred Treasures Elixir?

Could it be that this young man possessed the method to concoct the Hundred Treasures Elixir?

At that moment, the way everyone looked at Ye Chen took on a bizarre shift, as if they were gazing at a monster.

However, upon remembering the bet they made with Ye Chen, a group of old experts broke into a cold sweat. If the elderly lady did miraculously wake up, would they really have to revere such a young man as their master?

After Ye Chen fed the Hundred Treasures Elixir to the elderly lady, he placed his palm above her lower abdomen. True Qi surged out from within him, causing his hand to emit a blue light, as Ye Chen manipulated the True Qi to help the elderly lady assimilate the medicinal power of the Hundred Treasures Elixir.

The Hundred Treasures Elixir, condensed from the essence of a hundred herbs, possessed the ability to bring the dead to life.

The elderly lady was now in a state of weakened energy and blood. Even if she ingested the Hundred Treasures Elixir, she couldn't fully absorb its medicinal power, which would only result in the valuable elixir's power being wasted. Thus, Ye Chen had to assist her further!

"This is an ancient Qi cultivator's technique. This young man is actually a grand master of medicine!" an expert exclaimed in a low voice at this time.

A grand master of medicine is a saint of medical arts, a title that only those who are highly skilled in medicine truly deserve, and Ye Chen undoubtedly belonged to this category.

And a Qi cultivator is someone who has cultivated True Qi. These experts had not dealt with martial artists before and were thus unfamiliar with the different ranks within martial arts, indiscriminately referring to masters and grandmasters alike as Qi cultivators.

To ordinary people, Qi cultivators seemed no different from superhumans. Thus, when these experts saw Ye Chen's palms glowing and a massive field of energy flowing around him, they were all utterly stunned.

"The Huabei King is indeed deserving of his reputation. Ye Chen's martial arts realm is a hundred and a thousand times stronger than mine!" Li Weiguo realized the aura emanating from Ye Chen and was astounded.

Li Weiguo was actually a remarkable person; he was only one step away from transcending and becoming a master of martial arts, a superhuman among men! However, when facing Ye Chen, he unexpectedly felt insignificant, which was somewhat uncharacteristic for the usually superior-feeling Li Weiguo.

However, Ye Chen suddenly made another move. He tore open the blanket covering the elderly lady, and with both hands formed as if they were swords, his figure flickered as he continually tapped on the acupoints all over the elderly lady's body.

"Qihai Acupoint, Baihui Acupoint, Spleen and Stomach Acupoint..."

Aside from Chu Yanran, everyone present had some understanding of the acupoints on the human body and seemed to discern that Ye Chen was using his Mysterious Skill to channel through the acupoints all over the elderly lady's body.

After thoroughly unblocking the 108 major acupoints in the elderly lady's body, Ye Chen finally stopped his hands!

Ye Chen's expression was calm, and he took a deep breath, suppressing the restless True Qi inside his body.

The elderly lady had high blood lipids and thick blood. Ye Chen's techniques unblocked the 108 major acupoints throughout her body, easing her condition somewhat, laying the groundwork for a decisive final treatment.

"A miracle! The elderly lady's complexion is now flushed; this is a sign of replenished energy and blood!"

After Ye Chen had fed the Hundred Treasures Elixir to the elderly lady and unblocked her energy and blood, the immediate effects were remarkable, demonstrating the power to rejuvenate, which left all the authoritative experts in continual amazement!

...

"Ye Chen, have you considered staying by my side?" Chu Yanran said seductively to Ye Chen.

"I have no such intention," Ye Chen shook his head.

Just now, Ye Chen's skills had amazed all the experts, compelling them to acknowledge his prowess.

And as the elderly lady's condition improved to the point where she could remove her oxygen mask, the hospital was abuzz with excitement, and the visitors kept increasing. Chu Yanran could only take Ye Chen away swiftly.

Chu Yanran brought Ye Chen to her VIP suite in the hospital, a temporary room prepared especially for the empress by the national hospital, as large as a four-bedroom and two-living room suite with decorations as luxurious as some five-star hotels.

After witnessing Ye Chen's mesmerizing skills, Chu Yanran immediately realized that Ye Chen was an exceptionally talented individual!

She dispatched Qi Bai, Li Weiguo, and others, allowing her to be alone with Ye Chen in the room. During their conversation, she ceaselessly tried to entice Ye Chen to serve her.

Chu Yanran offered extremely generous conditions, even promising an annual salary of tens of millions, but Ye Chen seemed uninterested in her propositions.

"Your talent is being wasted as just a bodyguard. Follow me, and the world will be your stage!" Chu Yanran attempted to awaken Ye Chen, disbelieving that a virtuous man would not want to stand at the pinnacle of this world.

"Following you as a bodyguard?" Ye Chen suddenly asked. "Or as your personal doctor?"

In the end, Chu Yanran wanted Ye Chen to follow her mainly because she valued his medical skills and his extraordinary abilities.

"You could be my chief steward, managing everything for me," Chu Yanran said.

The weight of Chu Yanran's words was undeniable. Being the chief steward to the Empress was a supreme honor. In this business circle, even a billionaire might not be as glorious as the Empress's chief steward.

"Very tempting!" Ye Chen revealed a smile. "But truly, I am not interested in this."

"Then what do you want?" Chu Yanran asked.

"I want you," Ye Chen said abruptly.

Chu Yanran was momentarily dazed upon hearing Ye Chen's words. "What do you mean by that?"

"I can be your bodyguard, your chief physician, and I can even disregard my own depletion to break the Solitary Star Fate for your son!" Ye Chen dropped a bombshell, bringing his face close to Chu Yanran, their eyes locking, face to face. "But I have only one condition. From now on, you belong to me."

Although Chu Yanran was a mother, she was only about thirty, at her most beautiful phase of life, compounded by her queenly aura. Chu Yanran, the phoenix woman, was surely the ideal fantasy for men of any age.

"You… you?" Ye Chen's words made Chu Yanran's heart race, completely flustering her.

Ye Chen's words were audacious, proposing to make the Empress his own. It was a mad idea that perhaps only he could conceive. Chu Yanran, with her beauty that could topple cities and shame the moon, having mortals receive even a glance of favor from the Empress was considered a blessing of several lifetimes.

Ye Chen's words were utterly rebellious. If those admirers of the Empress heard them, they would certainly unite to execute him on the spot.

However, Ye Chen's offered condition was too tempting for Chu Yanran. She didn't care about everything else, but her son was her life. Breaking her son's Solitary Star Fate was fatally attractive. At that moment, Chu Yanran almost agreed to Ye Chen's request.

Chu Yanran looked at Ye Chen, gently biting her lip, indecision written all over her face.

Chu Yanran, the esteemed phoenix, the renowned business Empress, how could she let one man possess her?

Yet, ensuring her son's healthy growth was Chu Yanran's utmost desire. It was a hard choice between her own dignity and her son's safety!

"Empress, don't overthink it. I can't save your son; I was just joking!" Ye Chen, seeing Chu Yanran's hesitant expression, as if she wanted to agree to his terms, began to feel apprehensive.

The Heavenly Destitute Star was one of the things Ye Chen least wanted to deal with. He had just casually mentioned it, intending to tease the beautiful Empress.

"Why aren't you willing now?" Chu Yanran, who was still hesitant, became instantly eager to agree upon seeing Ye Chen retract his offer.

"It was just a joke. What I said was all in jest. Don't take it seriously!" Ye Chen sheepishly smiled.

Chu Yanran: "..."

Ye Chen truly realized that if he really did everything to break the Solitary Star Fate, Chu Yanran, the proud Empress, might actually throw herself into his arms.

However, Ye Chen absolutely couldn't do it. He had less than three years until his duel with the martial arts titan and during these three years, he could only afford to advance rapidly. He couldn't afford to deplete his vital energy, otherwise, on the day of the ultimate fight, it would be the time of his death.

But nothing is absolute. If Ye Chen reached the Immortal Realm, he could also break the fate for Chu Yanran's son.

However, even at the Immortal Realm, he couldn't act recklessly, or he would face divine punishment! Just like a cultivator struck by lightning, committing such an act against heaven would ultimately lead to divine judgment!

In any case, Ye Chen certainly wouldn't undertake such a rebellious act now!

"I've already had Li Weiguo inform Zhang Xinlan, telling him you won't be returning tonight," Chu Yanran said, her expression slightly forlorn. "Wait till tomorrow, after you wake the old lady up, then you can leave and meet your girlfriend."

"All right, I'll leave after that's done," Ye Chen nodded.

"Tonight, you'll rest in this room, but remember, don't walk around here at night!" Chu Yanran instructed Ye Chen.

This was her private sanctuary, allowing a man to stay over already touched her limits. Chu Yanran definitely didn't want a man wandering around bare-bottomed at night here, the very thought disgusted her.

"You're staying here too?" Ye Chen asked uncertainly.

"This is my place; you're just a visitor," Chu Yanran smiled.

"A man and a woman under one roof, isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Ye Chen said coyly, though he was secretly delighted.

"There are hotels outside. If you want to stay in a hotel, I can send someone to book a room for you right now," Chu Yanran said.
