The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife

"Who are you people?" Wild Wolf shouted loudly, his iron fist tightly clenching someone's neck. In the midst of speaking, he was injured by a blade from behind. Short-nosed Crocodile, wielding dual blades, darted among the crowd. Although quick, he was outnumbered, and those in black were obviously professionally trained cultivators, and there were many of them, surrounding and attacking the Netherworld Palace group.

"Starting a fight without a word of greeting, how uncivilized." As the Main God, Wang Kai possessed the capability to fight even against the "pack of wolves."

"Lord War God, our boss is in danger inside, hurry and rescue him!" Short-nosed Crocodile called out to Wang Kai.

"War God Spell—Whirlwind Sweep." With a loud shout, Wang Kai channeled his Inner Strength into his arms, releasing energy that resembled two cyan tornadoes. This was Huaxia, and using a Main God Skill would undoubtedly cause a stir. Even if the citizens remained oblivious, the National Security Bureau would surely detect it. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and moreover, Wang Kai was not someone to be trifled with. These people who had emerged from the Chen family were surely attempting a kill and cover-up.

Wang Kai had been unbearably irked these past few days. He was promised it would be his sister-in-law, yet without a word, he was imprisoned. Now, to top it off, they even sent people to kill him, and surely Shikai must also be facing troubles because of this.

Wang Kai thought, if he released a Main God Skill here, even if an incident ensued, the Chen family could not absolve themselves from responsibility, especially since this was about rescuing someone.

"This time it must work." The two tornadoes roared towards the sky, aiming for the Chen family's villa. Wang Kai smiled faintly; however, the next scene left him speechless. The initially fierce tornadoes suddenly vanished in mid-air. Wang Kai sharply sensed that above the Chen family residence, there was an invisible Array acting as a protective shield, enveloping the Chen family estate.

"Is it really that uncanny?" Just as Wang Kai was about to act again, three black-clad figures burst out beside him, brandishing long blades for an onslaught. Wang Kai was too preoccupied with parrying to use the Main God Skill again.

Simultaneously, out of eight elite members of Netherworld Palace, four had already been killed or injured. Despite the disadvantage, they were determined to obey Jeddon's command, which was to break in and rescue Shikai.

"Jeddon, you all should retreat quickly, I promise to save Old Ye."

"Alright then, Lord War God, thank you." After hesitating for a moment, Jeddon finally nodded in agreement.

"Where is this place?" Not knowing how much time had passed, Shikai slowly opened his heavy eyes, his limbs felt like they were filled with lead. Twisting his neck, he discovered he was lying on a stone bed, and what he saw was not a ceiling but more like a mountain cave.

Shikai slowly got up from the stone bed and carefully observed his surroundings: potted plants, ancient books, a wooden table—it was all decorated in an ancient style. Shikai looked outside to see a large waterfall; he truly was in a mountain cave. He wondered how he got here; after fainting, his memory was completely blank, and he couldn't remember anything.

"Young friend, how is your recovery?" At this moment, a faint voice came from behind Shikai. A man in a white robe slowly approached, with white hair but a rosy complexion, looking very much like a recluse.

"Who might you be?" Shikai asked curiously, but judging by his demeanor, he likely bore no ill intent, and he had even actively treated him, so he must not be a bad person.

"Haha, I am Chen Yaogzu," the elder said with a light laugh.

"Are you with the Chen family?" Shikai tentatively asked.

"Yes," the old man nodded. Ye Shikai's heart skipped a beat. Now, whenever the Chen family was mentioned, Ye Shikai felt a numbness in his heart. However, this wasn't hard to explain. He had fainted at the Chen family estate, so naturally, he must have been saved by the Chen family. But looking at the old man before him, with his distinguished air and high seniority, why would he personally attend to his healing?

"No need to be nervous, young friend." Seeing his reaction, the old man smiled faintly and gestured for Ye Shikai to sit down. "I presume you must be Xinxin's beloved."

"Could it be, are you Little Xin's great-grandfather?" Ye Shikai showed a look of astonishment.

"Don't I look the part?" Chen Yaogzu revealed a hearty smile. "Young friend, you are so young. If the array above the Chen family estate weren't invisible, I'm afraid we would truly have been at a loss with you. The young are to be feared indeed, the young are to be feared."

Ye Shikai was full of dark lines. No wonder he had suddenly fainted before; it turned out he had hit the array set by the household. Ye Shikai had a profound understanding of the Chen family's level of array setting. Just a minor array on the door was enough for him to struggle with for half a day, not to mention an array that covered the entire estate; who of great power could have set this up...

"Old sir, that array, was it set up by you?" Ye Shikai asked tentatively.

"Indeed, it was I."

"Ssss." Ye Shikai gasped in shock. He had thought that after becoming the Netherworld King, even if he couldn't be considered the strongest, he would still count as something. But as it turned out, Huaxia truly had hidden dragons and crouching tigers; there were always people beyond people. Ye Shikai mocked himself, realizing he was merely a frog at the bottom of a well.

"Young friend, I've been living reclusively in the mountains for many years. Although I haven't concerned myself with world affairs for many years, I still know a thing or two about you and Yuxin." As soon as Chen Yaogzu brought up Chen Yuxin, Ye Shikai grew a bit nervous. He had provoked someone's most cherished great-granddaughter; if the old man got angry, with Ye Shikai's current physical condition, he wouldn't stand a chance at all.

"If you have any advice for me, please feel free to tell me, old sir," Ye Shikai said, breathing a sigh of relief.

"Alas, Xinxin has had a hard life since she was a child. As a girl, she got entangled in the complex affairs of the family, and she has suffered," Chen Yaogzu suddenly let out a sigh, looking down as he spoke.

"Old sir, Xin once mentioned that she learned cultivation from her great-grandfather, which means..."

"Indeed, it was I who led her into cultivation," Chen Yaogzu spoke candidly. "She is a very hardworking child and also has great talent for cultivation, so I naturally trained her with all my might."

"No wonder her Inner Strength is so profound." Ye Shikai suddenly realized. Indeed, having a great master's teaching was different. Looking around, there must be plenty of cultivation resources here. For a Giant family like the Chen family, with their wealth and power, they certainly wouldn't lack cultivation resources.

"After cultivating, Xinxin became very determined. No matter how painful the cultivation was, she endured it," Chen Yaogzu showed a pained expression as he looked at Ye Shikai. "It must have been for you."

"For me?" Ye Shikai asked, curious.

"Haha, young friend, you might not know, but in the beginning, I was actually against her cultivating. After all, she was a girl. However, it was due to her insistence that I had to accept it," Chen Yaogzu suddenly laughed.

"What do you mean, old sir?" Ye Shikai was somewhat puzzled.

"Only if she cultivates, can she become a superior being."
