The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1781: I Must Go

"Kai, please don’t leave." Chen Yuxin suddenly stopped Ye Shikai.

"What else do you want to say?" Ye Shikai’s tone was cold as he removed the bandages from his head. The injury was merely superficial, not serious. He knew if Chen Yuxin entangled him, it would delay his progress.

"I... I know I’ve done many wrong things, but there were reasons for all of them. Kai, please don’t be angry." Chen Yuxin hadn’t expected that Ye Shikai’s Dantian had been restored. Naturally, she felt anxious. She had once gone to great lengths to keep Ye Shikai, causing a visible rift between them.

"Are you done speaking? I have to go."

"Kai, don’t go." Chen Yuxin embraced his waist with both hands.

"You’ve been missing for so long; I’ve been searching for you all this time." Chen Yuxin insisted on holding Ye Shikai, calming him slightly, making him sit back down.

"Things are complicated; I can’t explain them right now." Ye Shikai said indifferently, his gaze shifting to Chen Yuxin’s abdomen. Because of the pregnancy, her belly had started to subtly show.

"You’ve been pregnant for several months; you should be resting at home, not here." Ye Shikai said calmly. The child in Chen Yuxin’s belly was his. Even if he despised the snake-like woman before him, the child was innocent. Holding any blame towards the child because of Chen Yuxin would be wrong on his part.

"I came to find you, Kai. You know, someone said you disappeared on the Holy Mountain due to time travel. And there’s rumors that the Kunlun Secret Realm contains time-traveling energy, too. That’s why I sought you out. It’s wonderful; you’ve finally returned." Chen Yuxin cried tears of joy, delighted to see Ye Shikai again. The two-month wait had nearly driven her insane. Just earlier in the snow, she happened to discover that the person fending off the Snow Demon was Ye Shikai. Seeing his head injured and fainting in the snow, she quickly arranged for people to carry him to a nearby cave for healing.

"Kai, it’s so wonderful to have found you. I’ve missed you so much."

"Release me first." Ye Shikai forcefully broke free from Chen Yuxin’s embrace, keeping a distance from her.

"Since you’ve found me, there’s no need to worry. Go down the mountain; I have matters to attend to." Ye Shikai said indifferently.

"Kai, don’t leave." Chen Yuxin suddenly blocked him.

"Is there anything else?"

"Kai, since I’ve found you, why don’t we go down the mountain now? I don’t care about the treasures in the Kunlun Secret Realm. What I want is you." Chen Yuxin persuaded.

"You go down first; I have things to do. I must go to the Kunlun Secret Realm." Ye Shikai replied firmly.

"Why, Kai? You’re not someone who would risk your life for treasures; why insist on taking risks? If I hadn’t passed by earlier, you might have been killed by the Snow Demon." Chen Yuxin questioned.

"I have my reasons, which you don’t need to know. But I’m definitely going to the Kunlun Secret Realm, and I must be the first." Ye Shikai insisted on leaving but was blocked at the door by Feng Ling and Xue Ming.

"Please return, sir."

"Do you think only you two can stop me?" Ye Shikai sneered. Xue Ming and Feng Ling were both Chen Yuxin’s capable aides, their skills even surpassing Nightmare, but Ye Shikai was confident. He was already in the Body Integration Realm, and the gap between the Divine Separation and Body Integration was insurmountable.

"Kai, let’s stop this and go down the mountain. I promise I’ll stay home and rest, as you wish." Chen Yuxin also stepped forward to persuade.

"I told you I genuinely have matters to handle. You’re pregnant now; I advise you to go down the mountain. If you’re unwilling, I have no other option." Ye Shikai’s tone remained icy. With a flash, he slipped past Feng Ling and Xue Ming, so swiftly they could hardly catch his figure. In the Qin Dynasty, his cultivation had improved remarkably.

Outside the cave.

There were no Snow Demons nearby, indicating he had passed their territory. Ye Shikai planned to continue up the mountain. Outside were hundreds of people from the Chen family, looking at Ye Shikai emerging from the cave with faces full of curiosity and shock, not daring to approach. Some recognized his identity as Chen Yuxin’s husband, the Chen family’s son-in-law.

"Stop him." Chen Yuxin suddenly shouted, prompting everyone present to rise, swords drawn, to block him.

"I’d like to see who dares block me." Ye Shikai drew You Xi; as soon as the sword was unsheathed, several people in front were injured by the Sword Qi.

"Sir, please reconsider. The Family Head hasn’t had it easy these days, and she’s still pregnant. Please consider her more." Chen Ruoya stepped forward to persuade him.

"I just wish to leave; don’t stop me. I absolutely won’t harm you." Ye Shikai said coldly, "You all move aside; I will not harm a single one of you."

Chen Yuxin stood before everyone as Ye Shikai sheathed his sword again. In reality, how could he not understand Chen Yuxin? Although she had done many wrong things, hurting Ye Shikai and those around him—even nearly destroying the Three Temples hours ago—and had ruined his Dantian with her own hands, that was all past now. He wasn’t one to hold grudges; however, he must move forward, to the Kunlun Secret Realm, where he might have the chance to time travel and find He Linghan again.

"Kai, what will make you agree to return?"

"I already told you, I have my plans."

"If you insist on going to the Kunlun Secret Realm, there must be a reason. Since we’re married, why hide it from me?"

Ye Shikai fell into deep thought; if he spoke the truth, Chen Yuxin would be deeply affected. Moreover, a series of events, if carefully explained, would take three days and nights.

"I’m going to the Kunlun Secret Realm for the energy rumored to allow time travel." Ye Shikai replied indifferently.

"Why? Could it be... you really time-traveled while on the Holy Mountain?" Chen Yuxin was somewhat incredulous; though it sounded absurd, perhaps it truly happened to Ye Shikai. After all, many incredible events can only be explained with equally incredible reasons.

"Yes." Ye Shikai nodded slightly, turning to leave.

"Even so, you’ve returned now, so why still go to the Secret Realm?" Chen Yuxin questioned, a bad premonition subtly brewing within her.
