The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1768: Hard to Explain
Previously on The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife...
"What I’m telling you is true, I’m not lying to you." Ye Shikai said firmly. At first, Ji Qian was indeed a bit skeptical, but she had read many ancient texts and knew of many incredible things, so once she realized it, she believed Ye Shikai’s words. Although time travel sounds like an "Arabian Nights" tale, it is rumored to exist. Not to mention, Ji Qian came to Kunlun Mountain this time because she heard there was energy in the Secret Realm of Kunlun capable of warping time. Perhaps, the Holy Mountain is the same, and Ye Shikai accidentally got taken back to the Qin Dynasty by this energy.
Most crucially, when Ye Shikai disappeared at the Holy Mountain, there wasn’t a single clue. Everyone searched every inch of the land inside but couldn’t find him, as if Ye Shikai had evaporated into thin air. No one knew the reason, and traveling to the Qin Dynasty was the best explanation.
"Did you really... travel back?"
"Of course, why would I lie to you."
"Are you okay? Two months... where and how did you live?" Ji Qian found it hard to imagine how a modern person could live two thousand years ago. As shocked as she was, she was also curious. To have the chance to return to that era, he was indeed like "living history."
"Not two months, it’s been two years."
"What." Ji Qian exclaimed in shock.
"That’s right, I’ve already lived there for two years." Ye Shikai sighed bitterly. Two years isn’t long, just hundreds of days and nights that flew by in a blink, but so much happened in those two years that Ye Shikai found it hard to react. When he returned to the present, he even doubted whether this "Qin Dynasty journey" was just a dream.
"Maybe the time after the time travel and modern time aren’t the same, or perhaps... I returned to the present two months later. In short, while you guys passed two months here, I lived two years there." Ye Shikai suddenly remembered He Linghan, which was his reason for coming to Kunlun Mountain this time.
"Anyway, it’s good that you’re back. Promise me never to risk your life again. After you disappeared, everyone was so worried that they couldn’t eat or sleep. If you hadn’t come back, we wouldn’t know what to do." Ji Qian was still in fear. The time tunnel was too "fantastical," and it was miraculous in Ji Qian’s eyes that Ye Shikai encountered it coincidentally twice and returned safely.
"You know, I came to Kunlun Mountain this time because I heard the Secret Realm of Kunlun had energy capable of time travel. I wanted to find you, and I didn’t expect you to already be back. It’s really good."
"Qian, I... I can’t leave here yet. On the contrary, I must go back once more." Ye Shikai said calmly.
"Go back, do you mean go home?"
"Not home, I mean... back to the Qin Dynasty. I must time travel once more."
"Why is that?" Ji Qian exclaimed, puzzled by Ye Shikai’s answer. She couldn’t understand why Ye Shikai would say this.
"This... I can’t say for now." Ye Shikai didn’t reveal the truth, which made Ji Qian even more suspicious. What could possibly force him to ignore the dangers and time travel back?
"What’s the real reason?" Ji Qian pressed.
"Qian, some things are complicated; let me tell you later, okay." Ye Shikai wanted to brush it off, but Ji Qian was so astute. She immediately realized that Ye Shikai was hiding something significant.
"If I don’t ask now, I might never have the chance to ask again." Ji Qian held Ye Shikai’s wrist tightly and said coldly.
"What exactly are you going back to do? If you don’t tell me today, don’t think about leaving."
"Qian, can you please not force me?" Ye Shikai sighed, slowly turning away.
"I’ll stop pressuring you if you explain clearly why and what happened to you." Ji Qian grabbed Ye Shikai’s hand. "Also, when did your Inner Strength recover?"
"Qian, you know a lot about ancient history. Are you aware that in the thirty-sixth year of Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s reign, a meteor fell in East County? Do you know about this?"
"Indeed, the history books record that the meteor had words cursing Emperor Qin Shi Huang on it, so he ordered the local people killed."
"Speaking of which, my Inner Strength recovery has much to do with this meteor." Ye Shikai explained that the meteor contained immense energy inside, which not only could repair his Dantian and restore his Inner Strength, but even bring people back from the dead. At the time, Ye Shikai resisted the Qin Army’s siege with his guards but was overwhelmed. As a spear pierced his body and he was on the brink of death, the meteor’s energy instantly healed him. This also explains why he could survive being stabbed in the heart by Mi Wen’s Xuanjian at the execution ground; at that moment, a storm came with a lightning bolt striking down, hitting him directly...
"Whatever happens, you can’t time travel back again; it’s too dangerous."
"But I must go back." Ye Shikai suddenly shouted.
"Why?"
"I... I have a wife now."
"I know, isn’t it Chen Yuxin?"
"It’s not her."
"What did you say?" Ji Qian’s face changed, and Ye Shikai sighed softly.
"Who is she?"
"A woman from the Qin Dynasty, my wife..."
Smack.
Before Ye Shikai could finish, Ji Qian’s palm had already landed, and his cheek quickly swelled red.
"You’re really a bastard." Ji Qian scolded coldly, "We worked so hard to find you, only to be fools."
"Qian, please listen to my explanation." Ye Shikai stepped forward to explain, but Ji Qian flung his arm away. As he tried to approach, Ji Qian struck his chest with a heavy blow. Caught off guard, Ye Shikai fell to the ground, knowing Ji Qian’s feelings at that moment. Ever since his disappearance, Ji Qian had been tirelessly searching, and now learning Ye Shikai had married someone in the Qin Dynasty, of course she would be furious...
"Get out."
"Get out!"
Ji Qian turned around and shouted loudly. Ji Tao also came over. Ye Shikai wanted to explain, but seeing the current situation, he realized there was no chance to do so. Besides, Ji Qian was too upset to listen.
"In that case, I’ll leave first. Please take care."
Ye Shikai found a secluded place and carefully observed the surrounding movements. Currently, almost all the families were resting near the mountainside, and those man-eating monsters seemed not to have chased after. Speaking of, that Heavenly Chasm was already hard to overcome, and now with so many monsters guarding it, if he couldn’t cross, wouldn’t he have to return empty-handed?
