The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1139: 1139: Mood Swings

Chapter 1139: Chapter 1139: Mood Swings

Finding Ji Qian’s number, Ye Shikai dialed the phone.

Sorry, the number you have dialed is powered off.

A cold voice came from the other side of the call. Ye Shikai put down the phone. They hadn’t come out yet, which was not good news. So many days without news; Nightmare should have gone into the mountain with the Hidden Guard to search. However, if Nightmare had already joined with her, there should have been some message. Yet, there was no news from the Netherworld Palace, and Ye Shikai was very worried that they might be in danger.

“Kai, are you done?” At this moment, Chen Yuxin’s voice came from outside the bathroom.

“Almost done.” Ye Shikai hurriedly replied, rushing out.

“Were you on the phone just now?” Chen Yuxin sat on a chair; her tone sounded casual. Ye Shikai shook his head and said nothing.

“Kai, how about we stay a little longer?” Chen Yuxin stood up, walked behind Ye Shikai, and hugged his waist tightly.

“Xin, I also want to play a little longer, but there are still many things to handle in Yanjing. We are adults, after all; we can’t just think about playing.” Ye Shikai smiled faintly. Chen Yuxin was not very happy to hear this, let out a light hmmph, and turned away.

“Hmph, I have such a big company and family matters delayed, Kai, can’t you put those things aside to spend more time with me? It’s our honeymoon after all.” Chen Yuxin expressed her displeasure on the bed. Ye Shikai had no choice but to comfort her. Chen Yuxin often got upset over these matters. Sometimes, when he talked to other women, regardless of what was being said, she would get jealous. In summary, she was particularly sensitive; in fact, she was like this even in high school. I remember when female classmates at school gave him love letters; Chen Yuxin would be sulking for days, her lips pouted high but not speaking a word to Ye Shikai. Every time, it ended with Ye Shikai’s apology. Back then, he didn’t mind much—young girls need coaxing. However, the two have known each other since grade school; Chen Yuxin knows in her heart that she is the one in Ye Shikai’s heart, so her jealousy and sulking are just for show.

“Xin, if you want to come again in the future, I will surely accompany you, okay?” Ye Shikai gently comforted.

“I don’t want that; anyway, I just want to stay longer. If you don’t accompany me, just go back by yourself.” Chen Yuxin suddenly turned around with an unrefusable tone. Ye Shikai was a bit puzzled; Chen Yuxin is no longer a child, usually she wouldn’t be unreasonable like this, but why this time? Perhaps, she really valued this honeymoon trip. Ye Shikai’s eyes flickered a bit. Chen Yuxin saw it and thought Ye Shikai was really going to leave, so she directly pounced on him, hugging him tightly.

“I won’t let you go.” Chen Yuxin hugged Ye Shikai tightly, afraid that if she let go, he would leave her.

“Xin, I’m running out of breath.” Ye Shikai gently patted her back. Chen Yuxin quickly let go of him.

“Cough, cough.” Ye Shikai coughed several times, looking like he had been choked.

“Kai, I’m sorry, are you okay?” Chen Yuxin quickly said, only to be gently pushed away by Ye Shikai.

“I’m fine.” Ye Shikai adjusted his clothes, and Chen Yuxin’s face instantly turned crimson, like a child who had done something wrong.

“Alright, I’m going out first.” Ye Shikai, with a hint of annoyance, ignored Chen Yuxin and walked straight out.

…………………………………

Northeast, Bai Mountain.

“Soul Destroyer, have some water.” The Demoness used her inner strength to melt the snow, then heated the icy water to warm it, and poured it into a canteen to Soul Destroyer’s mouth.

“Drink some water before eating the compressed biscuits; otherwise, it’s too dry.” The Demoness was very concerned about Soul Destroyer, worried that he couldn’t swallow the biscuit. The toxin was still spreading in his body; if the poison wasn’t removed soon, in at most another one and a half days, Soul Destroyer would be poisoned to death.

“You should leave quickly; otherwise, even you won’t be able to escape.” Soul Destroyer continued to persuade.

“Didn’t I say? Forget about wanting me to leave you; not even in your dreams. Besides, if Nightmare and the others find out I abandoned you at a critical moment, causing you to die in this darned place, what would they think of me? I’d be utterly discredited.” The Demoness’s rebuttal left Soul Destroyer speechless.

“Are you stupid? Even if I don’t starve to death, I’ll be poisoned to death. By that time, won’t you still have to leave? Might as well… leave Bai Mountain now.”

“If it really comes to that, I’m taking your body out of here. Otherwise… how would I explain if I run into them?” The Demoness said firmly. Soul Destroyer smiled bitterly; in fact, she was just unwilling to leave him behind and escape alone.

“I’ve tried everything these days; neither you nor I can remove the toxin. Instead of waiting for death here, I’d rather take a chance outside.” Since the Demoness was determined, Soul Destroyer no longer tried to persuade her. However, since the Demoness would rather die with him, he could not allow himself to die here either. At least… they had to make an effort.

“Okay, let’s rest a bit more, then head out.” The Demoness nodded. “Can you still stand?”

“Of course, how could I not be able to walk at all?” Soul Destroyer struggled up, took the Long White Sword, and leaned against the rock wall to move forward.

“Alright, don’t push yourself anymore.” Seeing Soul Destroyer’s condition, the Demoness felt helpless and distressed. She reached out, holding his shoulder, and the two of them tidied up their things and left the cave.

“Demoness, you’re slowing us down. Leave me and go on your own.”

“Hmph, you want to abandon me again? Just give it up. I said, even if we die, we’ll die together.” The Demoness said determinedly, then comforted him, “Rest assured, today is already the sixth day. If I’m not mistaken, Nightmare should have already brought people into the mountain. Also, Lord Moon God wouldn’t give up on us. As we follow the path out of the mountain, perhaps we’ll encounter them.”

The two walked more than ten kilometers. Though they hadn’t yet seen the scenes outside of Bai Mountain, the snow on the ground and trees had lessened a lot. Regaining confidence, Soul Destroyer gritted his teeth moving forward; the toxin was already invading his body, causing limb pain and weakness, unable to use his inner strength.

“Let’s take a short break.” The Demoness found a mountainside, observed the surroundings for safety, then supported Soul Destroyer to rest against a tree.

“I estimate that after walking another ten kilometers, we should be out.” The Demoness picked up the binoculars, looked into the distance, and said.
