Chapter 819: The Attacker
"Sigh, I know, any explanation now is unnecessary." Ye Shikai sighed, things have reached this point, explanations are mere cover-ups. Back when Su Qingyu was in Hong Kong, they had disagreements, and the current situation is really difficult to handle unless Su Qingyu can come to terms on her own.
Ye Shikai tugged at the car door, found it was unlocked, and slowly sat in the passenger seat, gently patting Su Qingyu's back to comfort her.
"Didn't I tell you to get lost?" Su Qingyu suddenly sat up, her hands beating continuously. Ye Shikai endured the pain without fighting back. Su Qingyu's emotional breakdown was his fault. Imagine a wife seeing her husband getting cozy with another woman at the airport; she'd probably file for divorce right away when she gets home. Su Qingyu was venting now; once she finished venting her anger, she might calm down.
Suddenly, a fine line of blood appeared on Ye Shikai's cheek. During Su Qingyu's flurry of slaps, her sharp fingernail accidentally scratched his face, leaving a fine and long blood trace, slowly seeping with blood.
"Are you... alright?" Su Qingyu noticed, suddenly panicking inside, wanting to check his injury. But as her hands were about to touch his cheek, they trembled and withdrew, a resolute look flashed in her eyes.
"Now, can you listen to my explanation?" Ye Shikai didn't wipe the blood on his face and spoke calmly. Su Qingyu's heart skipped a beat. Earlier she was indeed very angry, but now she couldn't deny it, her heart had softened. She was never a ruthless woman. After so long, Ye Shikai had already become a part of her life, and once her heart softened, the whole "situation" changed in an instant.
Su Qingyu's eyes were red from crying; she turned her head, refusing to look at Ye Shikai, yet said nothing. She didn't refuse Ye Shikai's explanation.
Ye Shikai explained everything in detail to Su Qingyu. Meanwhile, Ji Qian outside the car was having a harder time. She wouldn't become a third wheel, and with her proud personality, she wouldn't be a third wheel. She wouldn't break up Ye Shikai and Su Qingyu's marriage. All she wanted was for Ye Shikai to give her a tiny portion of "love," even if it was just one in ten thousand, she'd be satisfied.
Today's situation was indeed an accident, but perhaps it was inevitable, like paper can't wrap a fire. If this farewell kiss wasn't discovered, there would be a next time, and a next-next time...
Now what she worried most about was that Su Qingyu might harbor a grudge because of this incident, possibly even divorce Ye Shikai. Even though she more wanted Ye Shikai's "whole love," she wouldn't use this method.
"Haha, didn't expect to find you here." Just as Ji Qian was anxious, she hadn't noticed two people slowly appeared behind her. Her heart jumped, and she turned her head, only to see Zeus and Aphrodite. How could they appear here?
Ji Qian was shocked. Since they came out of the Atlantis ruins last time, Zeus and Aphrodite seemed to have vanished from the human world, reportedly returning to the God King Hall in North America. She didn't expect to encounter them at this time.
"How did you arrive?" Ji Qian's face changed abruptly, and a gemstone magic wand appeared in her hand instantly. She lightly knocked on the car window, signaling to Ye Shikai and Su Qingyu inside.
"Haha, who doesn't know about the birthday party for Moon God sister?" Aphrodite said casually, though her face was graced with a maliciously charming smile.
"It's him." In the car, Su Qingyu and Ye Shikai both turned their heads sharply, just in time to see the three people outside. Su Qingyu immediately recognized Zeus; back at the Holy Mountain, it was Zeus who attempted to kidnap her. Fortunately, Princess Anna and the elders of the English church resisted them desperately.
"It's actually them." Panic flashed in Ye Shikai's heart. It wasn't that he was worried about being unable to defeat these two but rather concerned for Su Qingyu's safety. If a fight broke out, a normal person like Su Qingyu would likely get accidentally hurt.
"Qingyu, stay well inside the car no matter what happens, don't get out." Faced with such a situation, Ye Shikai didn't have time to explain further to Su Qingyu, his tone immediately turned serious.
"No." Suddenly, Su Qingyu grabbed Ye Shikai's waist tightly, refusing to let him move.
"Qingyu, what are you doing? Let go of me." Ye Shikai was startled by her actions once again.
"I want to go down with you," Su Qingyu said firmly.
"Now is not the time for us to quarrel... you must listen to me." Ye Shikai said firmly, even a minute ago, he was "humble" in front of Su Qingyu because of the "affair." Still, faced with the current circumstances, he had to ensure Su Qingyu's safety. Hence his tone was "commanding," "non-negotiable."
"No way, I have to go down."
"Qingyu, if you want to make trouble, wait until we get home. They are cultivators... consider this my plea." Ye Shikai was anxious, suddenly opened the car door, and before Su Qingyu realized it, he closed it again immediately.
"Zeus, Aphrodite, I didn't expect you to come here seeking death." Ye Shikai took out a metallic sword directly from his storage ring, exuding a murderous aura. Previously at the Holy Mountain, in Atlantis, these two escaped once, but this time, whatever happens, he wouldn't let them off easily.
"Hades, I didn't expect you to bring Moon God sister and Netherworld Empress sister here for a honeymoon." Aphrodite charmingly smiled, causing a hitch in Ye Shikai's heart. Unexpectedly, those two knew Su Qingyu was inside too, adding trouble.
"Zeus, what are you here for today?" Ji Qian coldly questioned.
"Haha, we just want to invite a few to visit the God King Hall for a chat over tea."
"Hmph, say you want to fight directly." Ye Shikai cursed loudly, the Inner God Scripture ran wildly, and his Inner Strength peaked.
"Kid, this Zeus' target is your wife in the car, be cautious." At this time, the sword soul's voice also rang, and Ye Shikai naturally understood. These two appearing were no coincidence; Su Qingyu's arrival in Europe was accidental. Perhaps they followed the trio from the airport, all the way to this deserted area, an ideal spot for an ambush.
Ji Qian slowly approached, while Ye Shikai blocked in front of the car, protecting Su Qingyu inside. If there was a clash, Zeus would certainly make a move against Su Qingyu.
"We have to hold on for a while; my subordinates will be here soon. We must ensure Qingyu's safety," Ji Qian walked over and softly told Ye Shikai.
"No problem." Ye Shikai held the sword in his right hand, his left hand opened up, a fireball and blue light slowly hovered in his palm, the fire element and water element indeed.
