The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife

"Not bad, it seems you're thriving in Yanjing." Ji Qian strolled around the manor, which seemed more like a vacation spot rather than a base, with its picturesque environment, shaded woods, and a nearby river.

"Money can make the devil work." Ye Shikai said with a smile, this manor only cost a few tens of millions. Anything that can be bought with money isn't truly valuable. It's just a manor; if Ji Qian wants it, Ye Shikai could buy a few more for her.

"I'm quite pleased; let's use this as the base from now on." Ji Qian smiled softly.

"I've had Ghost install a safe house here; come take a look." Ye Shikai led Ji Qian to a room with a large alloy wheel on the floor. Opening it revealed a basement below.

"The safe house's lock is made of special alloy; it's incredibly heavy and resistant to explosions, with four underground floors and secret passageways for escape." Ye Shikai explained to Ji Qian.

"Excellent, it's perfect."

"Since I came to Yanjing, has there been any movement in the Underworld?" Ji Qian sat on the sofa and asked calmly. Being the Moon God, one of the Twelve Main Gods, any action could stir the underground world. For instance, Ye Shikai's arrival in Yanjing caused quite a stir at the time, but under Ghost's arrangements, few dared to covet the Netherworld Palace. On the Holy Mountain, Ye Shikai instantaneously killed over twenty Dark List experts, consecutively slaying three Main Gods—a feat still considered 'legendary.'

"I've had Soul Destroyer and the Demoness constantly monitoring; there hasn't been much movement." Ye Shikai said peacefully. He knew Ji Qian feared nothing more than a joint attack by Zeus and Aphrodite. Now that both the Netherworld King and the Moon God were in Yanjing, Europe might still be somewhat unstable despite the elite backbone of the two temples. As for Wang Kai, the War God Temple is in Africa; if Zeus attacks, it wouldn't be able to provide timely aid.

"We can't relax; I suspect news of her departure will spread quickly. I don't want anyone to take advantage of it to create trouble."

"Of course, I understand."

"Sirs, we've got trouble." At this moment, Selena walked in from outside, her face looking slightly panicked.

"What's happening?" Ye Shikai asked.

"There's a group outside the manor; they seem to be looking for Lord Moon God."

"What? How is that possible!" Ye Shikai was shocked. They had just arrived—not enough time for the base to be exposed. Ji Qian had just arrived, and then someone showed up right on her heels. Wouldn't that make the base known to everyone?

"Let's go out and take a look." Ji Qian wasn't too surprised and said calmly, as she knew countless eyes were secretly watching her. Coming to Yanjing, exposure was only a matter of time.

"Let's go."

They reached the manor entrance, where several cars were neatly parked outside. Many people in white stood together, evidently cultivators, and leading them was an elderly man in white.

"Who are you?" Ghost, confronting them at the door, asked coldly. It was clear these people were well-trained cultivators, and the elderly man seemed to be releasing a strong aura.

A formidable figure.

"Are you mute?" Ghost wanted to continue taunting, but saw Ji Qian and Ye Shikai approaching.

"Boss, Lord Moon God, look at them."

"Ghost withdraw, they are here for me." Ji Qian said calmly. The members of the Netherworld Palace were taken aback. Could they be from the Moon God Temple here to see Ji Qian? That didn't seem right. Or maybe it's Ji Qian's faction in Yanjing? That seems improbable too.

"Qian, who are they?" Ye Shikai asked softly.

"They're from the Ji Family."

"I see."

"Elder Chen, Chen Ligong, paying respects to the young lady." The leading elderly man in white greeted Ji Qian with a slow bow.

"Elder Chen, I must thank you and the White Mist Army for last time." Ji Qian smiled, confirming the visitors were indeed Chen Ligong and the elite White Mist Army of the Ji Family.

During Ye Shikai's wedding, the National Security Bureau intercepted Ji Qian and Wang Kai's support, but it was Chen Ligong leading the White Mist Army to hold back Tianjing, allowing both Main Gods to escape unharmed.

"It was Miss Ji Yu's orders; we acted on command, no need for thanks from the young lady."

"Boss, they seem to be related to Lord Moon God, like family." Ghost whispered.

"It must be; looks like she indeed is the young lady of the Ji Family." Ye Shikai had previously sneaked into the Ji Family's estate, where he saw Ji Qian's photograph, and knew from Ji Yu and Ji Qian's relationship. However, why Ji Qian never returned to the Ji Family or Yanjing was unknown to him.

"Elder Chen, other matters aside, I won't return to the Ji Family. Go back and tell him not to think much of it." Ji Qian said to Chen Ligong. Ye Shikai didn't know who Ji Qian's 'him' referred to, but it seemed she was ordering Chen Ligong to leave.

"Young lady, please reconsider; some matters require proper communication with the Family Head."

"I've said, you may leave now." Ji Qian said coldly and turned to leave.

"Young lady." Chen Ligong wanted to step forward to persuade her but was stopped by Ghost and the Netherworld Palace's Hidden Guards; the Moon Guards quickly followed. Chen Ligong's White Mist Army behind showed no fear, instead, they all pressed on together, leading to a standoff.

"Those up ahead, step back or I will show no mercy." Ghost sternly warned, with the Hidden Guards pulling out weapons making Chen Ligong signal a stop, preventing the White Mist Army from advancing. Although he was a cultivator from a prestigious Yanjing family, Chen Ligong knew a bit about the outside Underworld. He saw the impressive strength of the Hidden Guards and Moon Guards, his gaze focused gradually on Ye Shikai, who was standing silently. Despite his ordinary appearance, Ye Shikai emitted a powerful aura, at least a Divine Separation phase in strength.

This young, already at Divine Separation phase, surprised Chen Ligong, and he started to understand why the young lady would associate with such a man. Serving Ji Qian, he wouldn't rashly start a fight.

"They've all left." Ye Shikai pushed open the wooden door, seeing Ji Qian curled up on the sofa in contemplation.

"That's good." Ji Qian whispered.

"I didn't expect your Ji Family to be full of hidden talents." Ye Shikai jokingly remarked, "It's like Lord Qiao of the Three Kingdoms, with both Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao in the family, such national beauties."
