The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1114: The Miraculous Effects of the Snow Lotus
This figure is just too hot, could easily compete with a supermodel, and the gazes of passersby were all drawn towards her. Indeed, this woman completely showcased the ’figure advantages’ of Western women, and Ghost nearly drooled at the sight.
"Hey, can you show a little more self-respect?" Demoness couldn’t help but punch Ghost on the head, seeing him in such a state.
"Why hit me?"
"Ahem, could you two be a bit quieter?" Ji Qian cleared her throat slightly in exasperation, and only then did the two realize their indiscretion, quickly releasing their hands.
"You two must be Ghost and Demoness, nice to meet you." The woman stepped forward and extended her delicate right hand. Ghost didn’t react at first, and after a few seconds, he extended his hand, but not before wiping it on his clothes. Once it was clean, he reached out.
"May I know how to address you, Miss?" Ghost asked out of curiosity.
"My name is Zhang Lin, but you can call me Linlin." Although she had the face of a Western beauty, her Huaxia language was exceedingly fluent, with a slight Northeastern accent.
"Zhang Lin, why does that sound like a Huaxia name?" Ghost asked curiously. "Judging by your looks, you shouldn’t be from Huaxia, right?"
"Zhang Lin is Huaxia, but she belongs to an ethnic minority and grew up near Bai Mountain, so she knows the area very well. That’s why I brought her along for help this time," Ji Qian explained to the group. It made sense now—Huaxia was vast and rich, with many ethnic minorities in various regions, though their numbers were relatively small.
"Most importantly, Zhang Lin is also a member of the Moon God Temple, which ensures the safety of our mission."
"Who would’ve thought, even in distant Huaxia, there are members of the Moon God Temple," Ghost couldn’t help but marvel. The Moon God Temple’s combat personnel might not be as fierce and strong as the Netherworld Palace, but their intelligence agents were scattered everywhere. Take Zhang Lin, for example: Who would have guessed that a few local Main God Temple powers would one day need a ’guide’ from Bai Mountain, and Ji Qian actually made this connection happen—now that’s networking for you.
"The entire plane has been chartered by us; there are some matters I need to discuss with you." After boarding the plane, Ji Qian gathered everyone into first class. Although there weren’t many people going, even counting the Hidden Guards and Moon Guards, there were only about thirty people, but Ji Qian still spent a significant amount to charter the plane to prevent any leaks. The importance of the White Mountain Snow Lotus could not be overstated, as Ye Shikai had given strict orders, and Ghost had helped Ji Qian many times before, making it an obligation from a friend’s perspective.
"Zhang Lin, since you grew up in Bai Mountain, do you know where we can find some White Mountain Snow Lotus?" Ji Qian first asked Zhang Lin, the ’living map.’ Given how precious the White Mountain Snow Lotus was, there must be mountain dwellers willing to gather it and sell it at a high price. It would be convenient if they could just buy it directly, at least... Ji Qian wasn’t short of money.
"The preservation requirements for the White Mountain Snow Lotus are very stringent, and the costs are high. Once picked, its efficacy quickly fades, so even when those mountain villagers find some, they have no way to keep it," Zhang Lin said, shaking her head in disappointment. "So, buying the lotus directly is impossible."
"Since we can’t buy it, we’ll find it ourselves. Anyway, we have people and equipment, and now that Zhang Lin is here, we’re sure to find it," Ghost said with determination.
"It’s not that easy; the White Mountain Snow Lotus is not so easy to come by. I’ve grown up in Bai Mountain and have only seen it twice."
"What? Only twice?" Even Ji Qian, usually calm and composed, was shocked. Zhang Lin must be at least twenty-four or twenty-five years old and yet has only seen it twice. Averaging this, the White Mountain Snow Lotus is likely seen once in a decade, making their chances of finding it slim indeed.
"That’s right. When I was fifteen, an elderly centenarian consumed the White Mountain Snow Lotus. Initially, he was disoriented and senile, but suddenly he was spirited, with hearing and sight surpassing a young person, seemingly becoming four or fifty years younger in an instant. Even his gray hair started turning black slowly. As of now, he still hasn’t passed away, which shows just how potent the lotus’s energy is," Zhang Lin said, and the expressions of the other three immediately changed.
"Who would have thought the White Mountain Snow Lotus had such miraculous effects," Ji Qian said, her face serious. The White Mountain Snow Lotus not only rejuvenates but also has life-extending benefits. If consumed by a cultivator, the effects would likely be even better. But the more magical it was, the more it indicated the difficulty in acquiring it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane is about to land. Please prepare." At this point, a flight attendant came over to them.
"Alright, we got it." Ji Qian nodded. The Northeastern Airport was still three hundred kilometers away from Bai Mountain, and they would need to ’make haste’ to get there.
"Everyone, get ready. We don’t have time to rest. Zhang Lin, I’m afraid we’ll inconvenience you because of the urgency."
"I’m already very grateful that Lord Moon God has a use for me. I’ll do my best for this trip."

East Sea Hospital.
"Miss, can you tell me where Gu Li is?" Ye Shikai arrived at East Sea Hospital alone, carrying some supplements. He couldn’t find the security department in the lobby, so he casually asked a nurse.
"And who are you?" The nurse slowly raised her head, and to Ye Shikai’s surprise, it was Gu Xin.
"You must be Gu Xin." Ye Shikai recognized Ghost’s ’little girlfriend’ right away from previous photos.
"Who are you?" Gu Xin was wary. She was very sensitive about anything related to Ghost these days. This man, a stranger, was now looking for Ghost, which probably wasn’t a good sign.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Ye Shikai. I used to be brothers with Ghost—Oh no, I mean Gu Li. I’m here to visit him specifically today. May I ask... where he is?" Ye Shikai quickly explained.
"Alright, I’ll take these things, but you can leave now," Gu Xin replied impatiently, brushing past him.
"Wait, miss, I just want to see my brother," Ye Shikai quickly stopped Gu Xin.
"Since you already know I’m his girlfriend, I have the right not to let you see him. Please leave, and take care," Gu Xin directly ordered him out.
"Miss, why are you so unreasonable? I just want to meet him," Ye Shikai was puzzled, not expecting Gu Xin to have such a ’bad’ temper. This was going to be troublesome.
