The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1129: How to Save Her

"I originally knew nothing about the Netherworld Palace. It’s because of you that I started to learn." Chen Yuxin gently rested her head on his shoulder. "The influence of the Netherworld Palace is no longer confined to Europe. South America, Africa, and even North America, where the Zeus God King Hall is located, the Netherworld Palace has begun to infiltrate."

"It seems you know quite a bit," Ye Shikai smiled faintly and said casually. The car drove into the surveillance area of the Netherworld Palace, encountering many armed guards along the way. Ye Shikai felt quite relieved in his heart, not expecting that even after being away from the headquarters for so long, the arrangements here were still orderly, and the routine patrol personnel had not been slack.

The car slowly drove into a "magnificent" building. After Ye Shikai parked the car, a group of people approached them from a distance.

"Welcome, Netherworld King and Empress." Wild Wolf led a team of Hidden Guards, kneeling on one knee. The two got out of the car.

"Wild Wolf, how is the headquarters?" Ye Shikai waved his hand, signaling everyone to stand up.

"Sire, as per your demands, I have been training new Hidden Guards at headquarters. Currently, a hundred new Hidden Guards have been retrained, and I am in the process of promoting personnel to fill any vacant positions." Wild Wolf reported everything to Ye Shikai while Chen Yuxin quietly listened on the side.

"Very good, everything is handled quite thoroughly." Ye Shikai looked at the documents organized by Wild Wolf, surprised to find that besides Ghost, even a leader like Wild Wolf understood management. However, Ye Shikai was puzzled as to how Wild Wolf, who only knows to shout and fight, could arrange everything so meticulously, even organizing financial statements in detail.

"Sire, actually, all of this was remotely guided by Lord Moon God." Wild Wolf was very honest; he didn’t claim credit. Initially, when all the generals of the Netherworld Palace were transferred to Yanjing, while there were no major issues at headquarters, there were many "little things," so whenever Wild Wolf had any doubts, he would call Ji Qian to seek her advice. Although on the surface it seemed that Wild Wolf was managing, seventy percent of the credit actually belonged to Ji Qian.

"Is that so, so that’s how it is," Ye Shikai’s expression suddenly dimmed, realizing that Ji Qian had quietly done so much for him.

"Kai, if there’s no one to manage, then leave it to me," Chen Yuxin’s expression changed slightly, speaking softly. Although Wild Wolf hadn’t seen this newly appointed Netherworld Empress in person before, he had long heard of her "fame." So young yet already a Family Head, astute and resourceful, and very skilled as well.

"Xin, you don’t understand foreign affairs, and you are the head of the Chen family, the Clan Leader of a major family in Huaxia—it’s not appropriate for you to manage the Netherworld Palace," Ye Shikai shook his head, speaking softly.

"Kai, are you not confident in me?" Chen Yuxin stopped in her tracks, a tone of resentment in her voice that Ye Shikai could easily detect.

"You all may retreat for now," Ye Shikai turned around and said.

"Yes, Sire, I shall take my leave," Wild Wolf bowed, along with the attendants beside him, and retreated, leaving only Ye Shikai and Chen Yuxin in the hall.

"Kai, what do you mean by this?" Chen Yuxin softly complained.

"Didn’t we agree not to discuss business on our honeymoon?" Ye Shikai replied dismissively.

"But this concerns your career. Is it wrong for me to help preserve your career?" Chen Yuxin asked back.

"Of course, it’s not wrong, but you can’t manage the Netherworld Palace, nor do you have the ability or energy to do so," Ye Shikai sighed softly. "Alright, you don’t need to say anymore, Xin, please listen to me on this matter."

"Alright, Kai, I’ll listen to you," Chen Yuxin nodded. She understood that although she wanted to manage the Netherworld Palace, it was not suitable for various reasons. Firstly, she was the Family Head of a Huaxia cultivation family, and foreign underground forces were opposing forces. If she truly managed it and was found out, it would be a big issue. Secondly, the Netherworld Palace was full of "proud and combative generals" who wouldn’t follow her orders.

"Thank you for understanding me."

"Let’s go, didn’t you want to see the sights of Europe? Let’s hurry and go."

Northeast, Bai Mountain.

"What on earth is happening here?" By the time Ji Qian and Soul Destroyer arrived at Cold Lake with their team, the battle was already over. Yet, the area was eerily empty, leaving behind only a field of crossbow arrows.

"Sire, look over there," at this moment, a sharp-eyed Moon Guard pointed to the lakeside, and Soul Destroyer rushed over, picking up the Soft Sword from the snow.

"This, this is the weapon of the Demoness." Ji Qian’s face turned solemn, as she was all too familiar with this sword. But if the Demoness’s weapon was left in the snow, then where was she?

Everyone instinctively looked toward Cold Lake, littered with crossbow arrows and the ground bearing the marks of battle.

"No, she can’t be dead," Soul Destroyer suddenly shouted, his voice echoing over Cold Lake, sounding utterly distressed. Everyone’s hearts sank into despair, the anticipation on their faces turning to heavy sorrow.

"Soul Destroyer, calm down," Ji Qian stepped forward to comfort him, but the agitated Soul Destroyer couldn’t calm down. Most likely... the Demoness had fallen into Cold Lake...

"How do you expect me to calm down?" Soul Destroyer plopped down on his knees at the edge of Cold Lake.

"The Demoness might not necessarily be dead," Ji Qian shouted at him, finally snapping Soul Destroyer back into focus. Looking at Cold Lake, a chill wind rushed over, confirming that Cold Lake was indeed a place where cold energy gathered, affecting even the operation of Inner Strength. Once fallen in, there was no guarantee of survival.

"Cold Lake is a dangerous place in Bai Mountain, a place generally avoided. Being an extremely cold place, it’s probably..." Zhang Lin hesitated to continue, fearing to upset Soul Destroyer.

"No, I have to save her," before anyone could react, Soul Destroyer stood up, intending to jump into the lake.

"Stop, are you crazy? Going down there will result in nothing but another death; it has no meaning," Ji Qian couldn’t help but scold.

"I can’t just watch her die," Soul Destroyer retorted.

"Soul Destroyer, don’t get worked up. Now is not the time to act on impulse. Without protection, if you jump down, you won’t be able to save anyone," Zhang Lin stepped forward to persuade.

"Master Soul Destroyer, we will definitely rescue her, but if you go down now, not only will we fail to save the Demoness, but you will also die," Short-nosed Crocodile stepped up to advise as well.

"Then tell me, what can we do to save her?"

"Lord Moon God, do you have the treasure of Atlantis, the Water Element, with you?" Zhang Lin suddenly asked.

"Yes, I do have it with me," Ji Qian nodded.

"Perhaps the Water Element is the key to unlocking the mystery of Cold Lake."
