Chapter 533: Kiss in the Water
"Hmph, serves you right for being such a flirt," Ji Qian said in feigned anger, playfully making a face at the water surface. She hadn't expected the Moon God, who was always dignified, to reveal such a mischievous side, but it was only in front of Ye Shikai that she would show this aspect of herself.
"Glub, glub." A few bubbles emerged from the water, but no one surfaced. Ji Qian huffed and turned her head away.
"Hmph, I hope you hold your breath until you pass out," Ji Qian muttered.
Five minutes later.
Ji Qian began to feel uneasy. Why hadn't he come up after so long? Could something have happened? She turned around, slightly nervous, and slowly leaned out of the cabin, fixating on the surface of the water.
"Ha ha." Suddenly, a figure shot up from beneath the water. In the blink of an eye, a large hand grabbed Ji Qian's arm and yanked her down into the water.
"Ahh!" Startled by the sudden pull, Ji Qian screamed in fright.
"Haha, now you dare not kick me again, I've dragged you down," Ye Shikai hugged Ji Qian and laughed out loud.
"Let go of me!" Grasping the fact that she'd been pulled into the water as a small "revenge" by Ye Shikai, Ji Qian was half amused and half annoyed, and struggled vigorously to break free, hitting his chest with her fists in an adorably angry manner.
Amidst the struggle, Ji Qian suddenly felt a warm sensation on her lips as Ye Shikai dominantly wrapped his arms around her waist and fiercely kissed her.
"You..." Ji Qian shook her head sharply, instinctually trying to break free, but she was tightly held by Ye Shikai. A few seconds later, her movements softened, and a wave of familiar feeling flooded her mind. It was like a torrent being held back by a dam; once the "gate" in her heart was opened, it poured out fiercely. These were the emotions she had kept deep in her heart, but today, she wanted to let them out. Gradually, Ji Qian also wrapped her arms around Ye Shikai's waist and passionately returned his kiss.
"Ji Qian, I'm sorry." Faintly, a voice rang in Ji Qian's ear. As she opened her eyes, she saw Ye Shikai looking at her with a remorseful face.
"Shh." Ji Qian put her index finger on Ye Shikai's lips, signaling him to be silent.
"Today, it's just the two of us." As soon as Ji Qian finished speaking, she fiercely wrapped her arms around Ye Shikai's head and kissed him passionately.
The two were submerged in the lake, locked in a kiss, deep underwater where it was so quiet that only each other's heartbeat could be heard...

European Royal Airport.
The days passed by quickly, and today, Ye Shikai was returning to Huaxia. Dressed casually and wearing sunglasses, he appeared just as he did the first time he returned to Huaxia. However, unlike the previous secret return, this time, a large group of people were seeing him off.
"Boss, are you sure you don't need us to accompany you?" Before departure, the Demoness repeatedly requested to go to the Netherworld Palace base in Yanjing with him, but Ye Shikai refused every time.
"Don't worry, with Jeddon taking care of things there, nothing will go wrong," Ye Shikai said with a light smile.
"Since there's not much happening recently, maybe I should accompany you," Nightmare continued.
"That won't be necessary."
"Then, how about Nightmare and I go to Hong Kong? We have a division base there, and if you need anything in Yanjing, it would be convenient for us to provide support," Illusion Fox proposed as a compromise.
"That... sounds good." Ye Shikai hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Illusion Fox and Nightmare were once members of the Tomb Spirit Organization and very familiar with Hong Kong. Moreover, if something happened in Yanjing, they could arrive quickly to help.
"All right, no need for everyone to be so sentimental, I'm not gone for good," Ye Shikai said with a light smile, slowly standing up.
"Athena." Ye Shikai walked up to Athena who was wearing a long dress today instead of her usual majestic armor, enhancing her womanly charm with her tall figure.
Ye Shikai extended his arms and embraced her generously.
"Aren't you afraid the Moon God will be jealous doing this?" Athena seemed a bit shocked, then revealed a delighted smile, teasingly said.
"Oh right, why isn't the Moon God here today?" Athena looked around and couldn't find Ji Qian among the crowd.
"Did you make her angry again?"
"Not this time," Ye Shikai said with a slight smile.
"Old Ye, Old Ye, wait up, I'm late." At this moment, a voice came from afar, and everyone turned their heads to look.
"Old Wang, what brings you here?" Ye Shikai called out in surprise, as the person approaching was Wang Kai, but his attire today was a bit off, wearing a floral vest, hot pants, and slippers, as if he was ready for a vacation.
"Going on a trip," Wang Kai laughed, pulling out a suitcase from behind. "There's nothing much going on recently, thought I'd take the chance to visit Yanjing."
"Uh, alright then," Ye Shikai was surprised but then thought, since Wang Kai was also from Huaxia and seemed to be from Yanjing, even as a War God, he could still drop by to visit.
The flight of a few hours wasn't too boring, with Wang Kai the chatterbox by his side, Ye Shikai simply couldn't manage to get any sleep, eventually giving in and taking out headphones to listen to music.
............
"Old Ye, did I hear right that you have a younger aunt?" Upon arriving in Yanjing, Wang Kai was like a curious baby, looking around everywhere, no telling how long it's been since he was last here.
"Yeah, she's coming to pick us up soon," Ye Shikai replied, bored and scrolling on his phone while sitting on a bench.
"How is she, pretty or not? Do you have a photo? Let me see." Suddenly, a large hand snatched Ye Shikai's phone, Wang Kai squinting at the screen saver with interest.
"Wow, sisters, nice, nice," Ye Shikai said with a helpless face. How long had it been since this guy had seen a woman?
"What's it to you?" Ye Shikai snatched his phone back, throwing him an annoyed look.
"Yes, it is my business. What's that term again, brothers-in-law, right? Maybe we'll have that relationship in the future," Wang Kai laughed, and Ye Shikai nearly punched him upon hearing this, as Wang Kai was actually setting his sights on Su Ziqing.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I'm over here," a female voice called out from a distance, and both men turned to look. Su Ziqing was waving at Ye Shikai.
"Qingqing." Just as Ye Shikai was about to wave back, suddenly, a figure darted by his side.
"Miss Su, Miss Su, hello, I'm your sister's friend," Wang Kai grabbed both of Su Ziqing's hands and shook them energetically. If he hadn't mentioned Ye Shikai's name, Su Ziqing might have been scared enough to start screaming for help.
"Cough cough, hello," Su Ziqing came back to her senses and gave a smile that was more awkward than polite.
"Qingqing, let me introduce you, this is my good friend, Wang Kai," Ye Shikai said as he came over with his suitcase, speaking indifferently.
