The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife

At this moment, Hu Li cursed Ye Shikai thoroughly in her heart. Ten thousand years ago, on the king's orders, Hu Li constructed a tomb. But on the day the king was buried, she was wanted by the state for entering the tomb without authorization. Since the tomb was the king's burial place and a forbidden area, soldiers of Atlantis could not enter. Moreover, Hu Li had consumed the Immortality Elixir and survived within the tomb, thereby transforming some of the craftsmen who were meant to be buried alive with the dead into her Giant Beast Army, which was loyal to her.

Ten thousand years later, those soldiers were still executing the orders from ten thousand years ago, to kill Hu Li.

Originally, everything was fine staying inside the tomb, but it was all messed up by Ye Shikai's reckless attack, even collapsing the tomb.

Of course, the slaughter wasn't only happening to Hu Li; in reality, due to the collapse of the tomb, a hundred people from the Underworld had escaped. This is why there were cries of agony heard every now and then.

"There's a lot of commotion in the west of the city; it must be Hu Li's beasts," said Athena from atop the watchtower, holding a telescope and addressing the crowd.

"Is there any trace of Lord?" Nightmare asked by her side.

"No, Hades and Ji Qian are probably hiding; they won't be so easy to find," Athena said indifferently.

"Could Lord have already..." Selena said with a worried look. Before Ye Shikai left, he had taken Ji Qian captive, and there was a high possibility his second persona could hurt her.

"Don't worry, I have faith in Hades," Athena reassured, placing her hand on Selena's shoulder.

"Now, with these endless soldiers to deal with Hu Li for us, we can start searching for people," Illusion Fox encouraged everyone. Hu Li was their enemy, and those soldiers greatly impeded their actions. Now that they were fighting each other, they could take advantage of the situation.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Ye Shikai and Ji Qian were surrounded by a group of soldiers.

"Be careful!" Ye Shikai yelled, stretching out his hand to grab the spear points of two soldiers and, with a powerful lift, flung them away.

"Breaking Sky Fist," Ye Shikai shouted, throwing a fierce punch that blasted an opening through the encirclement like a cannonball.

"Moon God Spell—Meteor Fall." Ji Qian swung her Magic Wand, sending several silver streaks down from the sky to further tear open the gap in the ranks.

"Let's hurry and go." Ye Shikai picked up a Longsword from the ground, took Ji Qian's hand, and the two of them quickly slipped away before the soldiers could regroup.

"Netherworld King Spell—Shadow Clone." Ye Shikai activated his Inner Strength and the Main God Skill, creating dozens of Avatars to take on the duty of covering their retreat.

"Run, this place isn't safe yet," Ye Shikai said, pulling Ji Qian's arm and running forward like a madman. Just as his words ended, an arrow was shot from the side. With a glance, Ye Shikai lifted his left hand and blocked the arrow with a shield.

"Quick, let's go." Ye Shikai pushed open the wooden door in front of them, and the two took refuge inside a building.

"Thump, thump, thump," urgent footsteps of soldiers could be heard from outside. The two of them held their breath in tension, not daring to make a sound. In the face of these well-trained soldiers, even giants only had the option to flee. When they first arrived in Atlantis, the weapons of the soldiers were imbued with a deadly aura that killed on contact. Both were grateful that at least the element of water could help them remove the deathly aura.

"They should be gone now." After a long while, Ye Shikai quietly opened the window and looked out to see the street below was deserted.

"Creak, creak." At that moment, the sound of a door slowly opening was heard, and the two immediately became alert. Ye Shikai picked up the Longsword, leaned to the side of the door, and the door of the adjacent room slowly opened.

Ye Shikai extended his left hand to protect Ji Qian behind him, gave an "OK" gesture, and with his right hand gripped the Longsword tightly, eyes fixated on the slowly opening wooden door.

Just a bit more, just a little bit closer.

Now.

Like a viper, Ye Shikai struck in an instant. With his left hand pulling the wooden door, his right hand wielded the sword and slashed towards the person behind the door.

"Bang." The crisp sound of weapon clash rang through the air, sparks flying everywhere.

"Boss."

"Hades."

"Lord Netherworld King."

"Why is it you."

Ye Shikai was astonished to see the Soul Destroyer pressed beneath him, everyone else exchanged looks of bewilderment, standing frozen in place.

"Lord." Selena excitedly walked over, and Ye Shikai also stood up awkwardly, sharing a warm embrace with everyone.

"Cough cough, so now is he the boss, or…" Demoness leaned towards Ji Qian, asking somewhat embarrassingly.

"It's him." Ji Qian said mildly.

.....................

"We've finally found you." After the group settled down and replenished their energy with some food, Athena felt excited, especially seeing Ye Shikai back to normal.

"Lord, now that we've gathered, let's go and take revenge on Zeus." Demoness said urgently, impatiently biting into the bread in her hand.

"Yes, lord, Black Rhinoceros and Kui Tuo Si both died at their hands." Soul Destroyer immediately chimed in.

"Their vengeance must be taken, and now we…"

"No, we must leave." At this moment, a cold voice resounded among the group; the speaker was Ji Qian.

"Lord Moon God, why do we need to leave in such a hurry?" Demoness seemed somewhat displeased, and everyone else was puzzled, even somewhat incomprehensible.

"Do you still remember how we entered the ruins?" Instead of answering directly, Ji Qian turned to Ye Shikai with a question.

"Of course, we entered the ruins using a submarine." Ye Shikai nodded and replied.

"Do you still remember the location of the submarine?" Ji Qian asked in return.

"Uh, it's on the outskirts of the city." Ye Shikai scratched his head, "What about it, is there a problem with the submarine?"

"The reason why the Atlantis ruins can exist is because of the safeguard of the Four Elements, but now, we have taken the Four Elements." Ji Qian said indifferently, taking the Water Element out of her pocket.

"So are you suggesting that the ruins won't last long before they face destruction?" Athena asked tentatively.

"That's correct."

"Boom." Suddenly, a peal of thunder exploded in the sky, a bolt of lightning streaked across, followed by a torrential downpour, lashing viciously against the ground, the rain beating and water splashing.

"If Zeus and the others get to the outskirts before us and sabotage the submarine, then we won't be able to get back." Ji Qian looked out at the rainstorm, perhaps this was a sign of the ruins' imminent destruction, her face covered with worry, especially about Aphrodite; that woman probably knew about this too.

"On the contrary, if we get there before them and destroy Zeus's submarine, it's equivalent to cutting off their lifeline." Illusion Fox immediately added.
