The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1748: He’s Back

This tomb is neither big nor small, indicating at least that the owner was a wealthy person during their lifetime; otherwise, such a scale would be impossible. To prevent grave robbing, people would lock the tomb door and block it with stones.

"Senior, I understand the principle of respecting the dead, but I must get out today. I apologize for any offense, and I will definitely come back to make amends later." Ye Shikai murmured to himself, which could be considered a form of "confession," but it was helpless; he couldn’t just remain stuck for the sake of a dead person.

Ye Shikai exerted force with his hands; his inner strength was still present. There was no barrier on the tomb door, only stone blocking it. Channeling his inner strength, he pushed hard. The tomb door slightly budged, and with another push, he managed to create a gap.

"Breaking Sky Fist."

With a punch, a big hole burst open in the stone door, letting in a flood of rubble and soil from outside. Ye Shikai took a shovel from his storage ring and cleared bit by bit. By now, he was quite sure he hadn’t reincarnated but "resurrected." Firstly, the blood stains on his clothes were "ironclad evidence," and secondly, he still remembered his own name and identity.

Finally, after about twenty minutes, he opened the stone door. He had expected to see long-awaited sunshine, but unfortunately, it was midnight now...

In the sky, there was not even a moon. Ye Shikai recalled the events before "death." He was pierced through the heart by Mi Wen’s Xuanjian. Then, he vaguely remembered seeing a flash of bright light and a thunderous roar. He didn’t understand what had happened, but now he must find He Linghan.

The tomb was built on a mountain; Ye Shikai had to descend. To be frank, he was at a loss—how did he resurrect and end up in a tomb, and whose tomb was it after all?

Ye Shikai reached the foot of the mountain and discovered something "unusual."

A highway.

Seeing the scene before him, he couldn’t help but feel shocked. This was clearly a modern highway. Walking to the side, he even saw a sign.

"Linxian to Jiangnan."

Ye Shikai murmured; these were simplified characters, not the Great Seal script. Could it be... this was the modern era?

In the distance, a light appeared. Following it, he saw city street lamps and neon lights, very familiar to him—this was a city, indeed.

Ye Shikai hurriedly ran inside, observing the bustling shops and the bustling traffic—familiar yet strange. He had been in the Qin Dynasty for too long, and during that time, his memories of the modern era faded day by day. In other words, he was now almost half an "ancient man."

"Miss, where is this place?" Ye Shikai curiously asked, pulling over a woman from the roadside.

"This is Linxian, pedestrian street," she replied.

"Linxian, I didn’t expect such a big change," Ye Shikai murmured.

"Wait a minute, Miss, what year is it now?"

"Are you... mentally ill or something?" The woman looked impatient, shrugging off Ye Shikai’s arm. Perhaps in her eyes, Ye Shikai was a "lunatic."

"Look, look, that person looks so strange, dressed in ancient costume."

"Yeah, look, there’s so much blood on his clothes, maybe he killed someone?"

The pedestrians on the road were casting curious and fearful glances at him. After all, if Ye Shikai was truly a "lunatic," he would be uncontrollable, and with a large bloodstain on him, he naturally scared people.

"Call the police." People came and went, some taking out their phones, others making calls, and some recording.

"Oh right, I still have my phone." Ye Shikai suddenly remembered and hurriedly took out a phone from his storage ring. At this critical moment, however, the phone wouldn’t turn on, seemingly damaged.

"Damn it," Ye Shikai cursed. He wasn’t sure where this place was, but if he didn’t leave now, he might really be captured as a lunatic.

"I’m a normal person!" Ye Shikai shouted loudly, quickly running away from the crowd, not knowing how many blocks he fled before finally shaking them off.

"This should be the modern era." Ye Shikai murmured. Having experienced time travel once, he wasn’t surprised by traversing back again, but is this his original era? Could it be... a parallel universe?

With his phone broken, Ye Shikai wasn’t foolish enough to "wander"; he had other means, like some cash in his storage ring.

Mall.

Ye Shikai selected a phone and paid with cash. The currency was still in circulation, showing he had indeed returned to modern times. However, his "ancient costume" with bloodstains aroused suspicion, and the mall security began paying him attention.

After buying the phone, Ye Shikai quickly hid in the restroom and changed into a set of modern clothes from his storage ring, thus avoiding becoming the "focus" of everyone.

After turning on the phone, Ye Shikai looked at the current year and time. He vaguely remembered that this year was indeed modern, but he couldn’t recall when he left. While in the Qin Dynasty, many memories had been lost, which meant he... didn’t know how long had passed in modern times since his traversal.

He’d spent nearly two years in the Qin Dynasty. If modern time was the same, then it should already be two years later...

"Ling’er." Ye Shikai suddenly thought; if he truly traveled back, what about He Linghan? Where is she now, and how should he find her?

Modern, Yanjing.

"Zi Yun, Lord Moon God and the others are on Kunlun Mountain with no signal. Now that we don’t know if they are alive or dead, how can you still be in the mood to play with your phone?" In a luxurious villa, Worm and Zi Yun were in the living room. Worm was busy searching for information, while Zi Yun played with her phone across from him, laughing occasionally.

"I’m worried about them too, but we can’t do much to help." Zi Yun waved her hand and lay down on the sofa. Worm was a hacker, and Zi Yun was an alchemist—they were not "combat personnel"; in the Netherworld Palace, they were in supporting roles.

"That’s true. Normally, I could collect some information, but now they’re all on Kunlun Mountain and we can’t assist. We can only pray for them." Worm nodded in agreement. Zi Yun was somewhat "carefree," but this was also a fact.

Suddenly, Zi Yun’s laughter stopped abruptly, and her face showed a look of surprise.

"Zi Yun, what’s wrong, did you see a ghost?" Worm curiously asked upon seeing her reaction.
