Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1137: 1112: Saving the Beautiful Snake Demon

Bai Suzhen's gaze brimmed with caution, while Xiaoqing sensed the strange atmosphere too.

“Sister, what's the matter?” Xiaoqing inquired nervously.

Her sister wearing such a look meant something serious had occurred, she realized.

“Xiaoqing, lead the young master away first; I'll join you shortly,” Bai Suzhen instructed hastily.

Xiaoqing gave a nod and urged Ye Chen at once, “Young master, let's move ahead and await my sister there.”

“Miss Xiaoqing, is something going on?” Ye Chen questioned, confused.

“Young master, no questions now—just come with me quickly,” Xiaoqing replied, her face etched with worry.

She trusted her sister's motives completely.

Remaining nearby would offer no aid and might only burden her sister further.

Once Xiaoqing and Ye Chen departed, Bai Suzhen's tension lessened slightly; she preferred Ye Chen not witness her casting spells, lest it frighten him off.

A yellow-robed monk advanced toward her, gripping an iron staff.

Bai Suzhen knitted her brows, eyeing the monk's steady approach.

The monk spotted Bai Suzhen too, his gaze devoid of mercy.

“Vile beast, why venture into the mortal realm rather than focus on cultivation in your lair?” the monk demanded.

“Fa Hai, my visit to the human world is solely to settle a debt, nothing more,” Bai Suzhen countered.

“Settle a debt? A snake demon like you unfit for humanity, yet fantasizing about such repayments—utter nonsense,” Fa Hai sneered.

“Fa Hai, you follow your bright path, I'll tread my narrow bridge; our ways needn't clash,” Bai Suzhen stated, her forehead creased.

She couldn't fathom why Fa Hai targeted her; she'd harmed no souls.

“My duty demands subduing demons and banishing evil. Lingering among humans without proper cultivation leaves me no choice but to act harshly,” Fa Hai declared, lifting his staff.

Bai Suzhen swiftly evaded; a strike from that staff would wound her gravely, possibly forcing her original form.

Xiaoqing grew restless without her sister's return.

“Why hasn't sister come back?” Xiaoqing wondered inwardly.

Noticing Xiaoqing's worried look, Ye Chen pressed, “Miss Xiaoqing, what's really happening? Why hasn't Miss Bai joined us?”

“Young master, stay put; I'll go look for sister,” Xiaoqing announced.

Ye Chen responded promptly, “Miss Xiaoqing, I'll accompany you. Extra help could make a difference.”

With Ye Chen determined to tag along, Xiaoqing held her tongue.

Together, they rushed to the West Lake Broken Bridge, witnessing Bai Suzhen and Fa Hai in fierce combat.

Xiaoqing leaped into the fight without delay, supporting her sister against Fa Hai.

Bai Suzhen's millennium of cultivation fell short against Fa Hai, and Xiaoqing's scant years made her even weaker.

Though Ye Chen hated seeing the lovely pair tormented by Fa Hai, he doubted his prowess in this realm.

He yearned to assist yet held back in uncertainty.

Strength enough to challenge Fa Hai would aid them.

But weakness would merely encumber the sisters.

The sight of the beauties suffering tore at Ye Chen's heart.

He refused to watch Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing fall to Fa Hai before his eyes.

“To hell with it, I'll try,” Ye Chen resolved.

He charged at Fa Hai then, startling Bai Suzhen.

“Young master, stay out of it—flee now, don't concern yourself with me,” Bai Suzhen cried out desperately.

Ye Chen's bravery moved her deeply.

She hadn't anticipated aid from a man known to her so briefly—a true embodiment of loyalty and honor.

Observing Ye Chen side with these demons, Fa Hai challenged, “Young master, why aid these snake demons? Has their allure ensnared you?”

“Enough chatter—fight if you dare, no more words,” Ye Chen shot back.

“Very well, you court death; this monk bears no fault,” Fa Hai retorted.

He swung his staff fiercely.

Ye Chen evaded relentlessly, dodging his sole option.

As anticipated, his strength here proved feeble.

This approach failed; how else to free Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing from the monk?

A bolt of lightning flashed suddenly, materializing a Treasure Sword in Ye Chen's grasp.

It was Zhao Yun's blade; armed now, Ye Chen's power surged.

After several clashes, Fa Hai lay beaten.

In this way, Ye Chen saved the stunning snake demons Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing from Fa Hai's clutches.

Fa Hai retreated in defeat, his vigor spent.

Watching Fa Hai flee, Bai Suzhen expressed deep gratitude, “Young master, thank you for rescuing my life.”

Over seventeen centuries prior, as a mere white snakelet, Ye Chen had saved her once; now he did so again.

This man before her was undoubtedly her savior—who else? Bai Suzhen grew even more convinced he deserved her repayment.

“Young master, are you wed?” Bai Suzhen ventured shyly.

“No, I remain unmarried,” Ye Chen answered swiftly.

Delight lit up Bai Suzhen's face upon hearing this.

Ye Chen remaining unmarried meant she could wed him to settle the debt of his benevolence.

“Since that’s the case, I am willing to devote myself to repay your kindness,” Bai Suzhen said with a shy smile.

Inner joy surged through Ye Chen, yet as a traveler from another realm, his stay was bound to be brief.

On top of that, he wasn't the genuine Xu Xian; Bai Suzhen was indeed a captivating beauty any man would cherish.

Still, he wouldn't allow his personal cravings to sabotage the destined bond between Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian.

He needed to devise a swift pretext for departure.

“Miss Bai, marriage is a grave matter, not mere child's play; I must consult Sister Yu, my childhood companion,” Ye Chen said with a smile.

Ye Chen's reasoning rang true, prompting Bai Suzhen to nod in accord.

“Then, Young Master, hurry back soon; Qing’er and I will wait for you here,” Bai Suzhen said reluctantly.

Observing her sister's blush, Xiaoqing teased, “Sister, the Young Master isn’t leaving forever, is he?”

Bai Suzhen's cheeks flushed an even deeper shade of red from shyness at those words.

Ye Chen, however, felt a twinge of discomfort, for Xiaoqing had hit the mark—after departing, he would never return.

This realm wasn't his own; he had to head back to his true home.

Just as Ye Chen prepared to depart, Bai Suzhen abruptly called out, “Young Master, wait a moment.”
