The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1131: Absorbing the Cold Qi

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the Demoness, as the water element absorbed the cold from her body. At this moment, the White Mountain Snow Lotus emitted a blue glow, and the Demoness’s complexion began to gradually recover. Soul Destroyer reached out to check her pulse, and the once weak pulse started to become stronger and faster. It seemed she was being successfully rescued, and Soul Destroyer finally breathed a sigh of relief. It looked like the Demoness was going to be alright.

"This White Mountain Snow Lotus saved her life." Zhang Lin remarked with a touch of emotion.

"What do you mean by that?" the Short-nosed Crocodile asked curiously.

"Look at the White Mountain Snow Lotus in her hand." Zhang Lin pointed to the snow lotus in the Demoness’s hand, which was releasing a blue glow under the influence of the water element.

"The Demoness fell into the lake to protect the White Mountain Snow Lotus, and it was the snow lotus that saved her life. The Cold Lake contains a large amount of cold energy. Generally, any cultivator who falls in for so long would be undoubtedly doomed. However, the White Mountain Snow Lotus can absorb the cold energy from the lake, acting as a container to absorb a lot of the cold energy for her, thus saving her life," Zhang Lin explained. "Moreover, because it absorbed the cold energy, the snow lotus, although picked, remains as fresh as ever. It’s truly effortless how it came into our possession."

"I see, so we’ve rescued a person and obtained the White Mountain Snow Lotus. Now we can leave." The Short-nosed Crocodile had a smile on his face. No wonder there’s a saying in Huaxia, ’Fortune and misfortune depend on each other.’

"Indeed." Zhang Lin waved his hand, and the hidden guard behind him brought an insulated box. Wearing gloves, Zhang Lin carefully placed the White Mountain Snow Lotus inside. With this, they could preserve it.

"Lord Moon God, the Demoness should wake up soon." A few minutes later, Ji Qian slowly withdrew her inner strength, retracting the water element into her magic wand. The color finally returned to the Demoness’s face, and Soul Destroyer quickly asked.

"I’ve absorbed most of the cold air, and the remaining part should be neutralized by infusing inner strength. I think there won’t be any major issues." Ji Qian spoke while panting slightly. Having used so much inner strength, her dantian surged with warmth. Indeed, the water element, as one of Atlantis’s greatest treasures, also had the ability to absorb cold energy. Furthermore, Ji Qian felt that after absorbing the cold energy from the lake, the water element became more vibrant.

"Alright, let me." Soul Destroyer swallowed two Qi Replenishing Pills without waiting for digestion, directly supporting the Demoness and continuously injecting inner strength into her body. A few minutes later, the Demoness suddenly spat out a mouthful of water, coughing several times.

"Demoness, are you okay?" Soul Destroyer quickly asked.

"Did I... die?" The Demoness glanced at everyone around her in confusion, weakly speaking a sentence that made Zhang Lin burst into laughter. Surprisingly, after her near-death experience, that was the first thing she said.

"Of course not, it’s me." Soul Destroyer shook the Demoness’s shoulders excitedly. If not for everyone watching, he would have hugged the Demoness.

"Soul Destroyer, was it... was it you who saved me?" The Demoness forced herself to stay strong, struggling to stand.

"Yes, it was he who saved you." Before Soul Destroyer could answer, Ji Qian interjected quickly. "You wouldn’t know, he almost lost his life for you."

She even subtly gave Soul Destroyer a look.

Ji Qian saved the Demoness for the sake of friendship, for the Netherworld Palace, and Ye Shikai. But now that the person was saved, there was no use in having the Demoness feel indebted. Rather, she pushed the favor onto Soul Destroyer instead.

"By the way, the White Mountain Snow Lotus, I remember I had it in my hand." The Demoness suddenly recalled and hurriedly searched around, but both her hands and pockets were empty. She distinctly remembered holding the snow lotus before being struck by the man in black and falling into the lake.

"Don’t worry, it’s all with me." Zhang Lin shook the insulated box with a face full of delight, saying, "The White Mountain Snow Lotus hasn’t been damaged at all, thanks to you."

"That’s great, finally... I’ve made up for it." The Demoness leaned against a rock, breathing heavily, feeling a great weight lifted from her heart.

"If you dare risk your life again like this, even if you get the snow lotus, I will have to scold you." Ji Qian said beside her, and Soul Destroyer echoed, "Yes, it’s not a big deal; we can find another snow lotus. What do we do if something happens to you?"

"Alright, let’s not talk about this here. Since we have the snow lotus, let’s leave this desolate place as soon as possible." Ji Qian interrupted their conversation. This White Mountain was no place for a tourist; on the contrary, it was extremely dangerous.

"Demoness, can you manage to walk?" Soul Destroyer asked with concern.

"Don’t worry, I’m not that easy to bring down." The Demoness circulated her inner strength, recovering a portion of her power, and picked up her soft sword again. Escaping death will surely lead to fortune; she believed they would leave Bai Mountain safely.

Ji Family.

"Excuse me, you are...?" Several men dressed in black arrived at the entrance of the Ji Family residence, led by a young man, followed by several middle-aged men.

"Please deliver a message: the young master of the East Sea Zheng Family is here to visit Family Head Ji." Zheng Ji said calmly. Indeed, it was him, with his personal guards following behind.

"I understand, please wait a moment." The Ji Family guard nodded, turned, and walked into the residence. After five minutes, the guard returned hastily.

"The Family Head invites you all to the main hall for a discussion, please follow me." The guard gestured for them to proceed, and Zheng Ji exchanged eye signals with his guards, then walked in.

Conference Room Main Hall.

"Junior Zheng Ji, paying respects to Family Head Ji." Zheng Ji bowed respectfully to the man in white clothes in the meeting room.

"Mr. Zheng, no need for formalities. Someone, bring the best tea." Ji Tao raised his head, looking at Zheng Ji with a pleased expression.

"Mr. Ji, I’ve come in haste and will get straight to the point." Zheng Ji appeared somewhat anxious. Indeed, he hadn’t traveled all the way to Yanjing for leisure. That morning, Elder Mo sent him information that several elders in the family were very ’restless,’ repeatedly pressuring Zheng Li to take action against the Ji Family. Zheng Li’s "delay tactics" probably wouldn’t hold for much longer.

"Mr. Zheng, have you come regarding Miss Zheng Ruo’s cause of death?" Ji Tao waved his hand, signaling him to pause.

"What, Mr. Ji already knows?"

"The Zheng Family is observing our every move, and similarly, we are keeping a close watch on the Zheng Family’s actions."
