The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife

"Young man, I think your luck with women is quite excellent." On the way to the airport, Dugu Tianke teased.

"Master, Shiqi is a good friend of mine, she's helped me a lot." Ye Shikai knew Dugu Tianke was talking about Luo Shiqi, given her enchanting allure, it was no wonder Dugu Tianke would say so.

"Haha, I don't think she sees it that way. I've seen her face, she's not a woman to be trifled with, more accurately, she's a femme fatale."

"Master, you really do see through people... very accurately, huh." Ye Shikai chuckled wryly. If Luo Shiqi isn't a 'femme fatale,' how could she be the Underground Queen of Yanjing, run such a successful business, and have so many people fear and submit to her.

"Master, if only I had your ability to see through people." Ye Shikai shook his head, indeed, wisdom comes with age. To someone like Dugu Tianke, an 'old fox,' most people seem as transparent as a blank sheet of paper, unable to hide anything.

"Some people, it's better not to see through them too clearly. And even when you can, you should pretend you can't."

"Alright, I'm a bit tired, I'll catch some sleep now. I'm getting old, don't have the energy anymore." Before Ye Shikai could respond, Dugu Tianke spoke first, then lay down to sleep, leaving Ye Shikai speechless.

Having the old man travel so far, Ye Shikai felt a bit embarrassed. Perhaps there were some questions he himself didn't want answers to, so forcing them would be pointless.

Ring, ring, ring.

At that moment, Ye Shikai's phone rang. When he checked, surprisingly, it was a call from Su Qingyu.

"Hey, Qingyu, what's up?" Ye Shikai picked up the phone and said casually.

"I heard from Shiqi that you're heading out of town urgently. Is something going on?" On the other end, Su Qingyu's slightly anxious voice came through. It seemed Ye Shikai had left in a hurry, leaving behind many unresolved questions.

"Oh, something suddenly came up, and I need to rush to Yun City. I estimate it will take a few days. I left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to tell you." Ye Shikai replied hastily. Actually, to get the elixir in Yun City shouldn't take that long, there were many people waiting at the National Security Bureau, hoping Dugu Tianke had prepared the medicine. If not, and he needed to concoct it again, it would take quite a while.

"I see, then come back soon and stay safe." There was a brief silence on the other end before Su Qingyu's voice returned.

"Hmm, okay, don't overwork yourself with the company's matters." Ye Shikai thought of the Chen Group initiating a stock purchase contract. These days Su Qingyu might still be contemplating this matter. Although selling the shares wasn't necessarily bad, Ye Shikai felt some inexplicable anxiety.

"Okay."

Yanjing Airport.

"Boss, the plane is ready. You asked for it so suddenly, it took me a lot of effort to arrange." Ghost was quite frustrated, being called up in the middle of the night to prepare a private jet. Luckily, the Netherworld Palace had their own plane ready, otherwise it would've been impossible.

"Alright, I'm heading to Yun City to handle urgent business. Help me hurry Zi Yun to quickly decipher the HST reagent."

"No problem, I'll send a few Hidden Guards with you."

"Okay."

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

Yun City.

"Master, quickly lead me to fetch the elixir, those people are waiting for a life-saving cure." No sooner had the plane landed, Ye Shikai exclaimed with excitement.

"Haha, young friend, no need to rush. Before fetching the elixir, let's visit an old friend first." Dugu Tianke waved his hand, indicating Ye Shikai not to hurry. Yet upon hearing this, Ye Shikai had an uneasy premonition. This was only his second visit to Yun City, and the old friend likely referred to her.

The eccentric, self-important, unbelievably shrewish Worm Sect's female Sect Leader, Wuyan.

Worm Sect.

"Ah, back here again." Looking at the entrance, Ye Shikai suddenly had the urge to turn and run. That crazy woman almost kept him under house arrest the last time, so he had to be cautious now.

"What's up, young man, you don't seem too willing to go in." Dugu Tianke saw Ye Shikai's gloomy face and teased softly.

"Er, it's nothing, it's just that I'm eager to return and save lives." Ye Shikai smiled awkwardly. He wondered what Dugu Tianke brought him here for, this shouldn't have anything to do with Worms, right?

"Gentlemen, the Sect Leader is already waiting in the main hall, please follow me." The big doors opened slowly, a gatekeeper approached, bowed to the two, and said respectfully.

"Please lead the way." Dugu Tianke smiled kindly, the gatekeeper walked ahead while the two followed behind. Compared to last time, the decor of Worm Sect could be described as 'eternal,' retaining its antique style with that square-shaped hall.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, Ye Shikai instinctively felt a chill behind him, and reflexively dodged.

A dart flew straight into the wooden pillar behind him.

"Wow, your reactions aren't slow." A pretty figure suddenly flashed from the side. Ye Shikai rolled his eyes, who else in the Worm Sect dared to do this besides Wuyan?

A woman who brought the mighty Netherworld King of the Underworld to his knees.

"What are you doing?"

"You come visiting, naturally you must adhere to my rules. I wanted to test you, feeling upset, huh?" Wuyan remained self-assured, obstinate, and she seemed to make it a point towards Ye Shikai.

"This is your way of hospitality?" Ye Shikai plucked the dart from the wooden pillar, he dared to bet five hundred bucks there was Worm Sect's special poison on it. Had he not dodged, he might be headed to emergency care right now.

"Why not? This is my way of hospitality, you have a problem with it?" Wuyan playfully bantered with Ye Shikai like a little girl. Ye Shikai was so exasperated he almost spat blood. What did he ever do to deserve dealing with women like this?

"If you dare to oppose me again, I'll send a few poisonous insects your way, let you suffer some physical pain." Wuyan directly 'threatened,' causing Ye Shikai to shut his mouth and ignore her. If he couldn't fight, he could at least avoid.

"Alright, Wuyan, Little Ye is here this time to save lives, let's not jest." Dugu Tianke stepped in at the right moment to mediate.

"Little Ye, this time the old man needs Worm Sect's help with the elixir." Dugu Tianke turned to Wuyan, "For the sake of saving lives, Wuyan lass, give me this face."

"Helping you is no problem, but him, I refuse to help."
