The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1944: Reunited

"It seems I really underestimated this Fat Cicada." Ye Shikai quipped. This time, the Poisonous Insect King saved him, which also served as a reminder. Since these black-robed people can use worms as hidden weapons, it indicates that they know how to cultivate and use worms. Hence, these black-robed people are very likely the ’owners’ of this cave, and that towering tree might be the ’hotbed’ for cultivating worms.

Logically speaking, they are outsiders, and it seems unreasonable to just kill an ’owner’ like this. But there’s no other choice; this person didn’t say anything and attacked with lethal intent. Ye Shikai could only eliminate him first, otherwise, he would be the one to die.

"It’s really strange; in this deep mountain, where human presence is scarce, how can there be such people here?" Ye Shikai muttered to himself. Although the entire mountain area is vast, with such a large ’worm cultivation base,’ Chen Yaogzu has been here for decades of retreat, he should have detected something.

"Wuyan, how powerful do you think the Poisonous Insect King is?" Ye Shikai suddenly asked, "Can a cultivator at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage deal with it?"

"Very hard to deal with. Actually, I don’t have precise data, but I’m certain that if a cultivator below the Transcendance Tribulation Stage is targeted by the Poisonous Insect King, it’s certain death. As for the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, it needs to be divided further. After all, the early and late stages of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage are entirely different levels."

"Below the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, certain death." Ye Shikai muttered, "Then a cultivator in the Body Integration Realm would be utterly powerless."

"You could say so," Wuyan nodded affirmatively.

Among all cultivators, reaching the Body Integration Realm is already very rare; being able to reach this stage means ’dominating an area’ is not an overstatement. To reach this point, talent and resources are essential. Looking across all of Huaxia, generally only the Family Heads and elders of prominent families can reach this stage, like Ji Tao and Tang Can. For those like Ye Shikai and Chen Yuxin, breaking through to the Body Integration Realm in their twenties is already considered extremely gifted...

According to Ye Shikai’s understanding, even Chen Yaogzu should not have broken through the Transcendance Tribulation Stage yet, meaning even he could not deal with the Poisonous Insect King.

Ye Shikai suddenly felt fortunate that this Poisonous Insect King was collected by Wuyan, at least... it wouldn’t become a threat in the future...

"Wuyan, is there only one Poisonous Insect King here?" Ye Shikai suddenly asked.

"Why, did you find other Poisonous Insect Kings?" Wuyan asked excitedly. Mentioning Poisonous Insect King made her very excited; such rare items, she obviously hoped for more.

"Cough, cough, no, I wanted to ask if you sensed any other Poisonous Insect Kings."

"It would be great, but the Poisonous Insect King is extremely rare in itself; it’s not like a ’there when you say it’ kind of thing." Wuyan rolled her eyes, "Made me excited for nothing, a wasted joy."

"That’s good, as long as there isn’t." Ye Shikai exhaled a long breath.

"I got a precious Poisonous Insect King this time, partly thanks to you, thank you," Wuyan said with a smile. This cold beauty Sect Leader of the Worm Sect rarely showed a hint of a smile.

"You just saved my life; there’s no need for gratitude. Let’s hurry and find Ji Qian and Ghost," Ye Shikai waved his hand.

"Okay, let’s go."

...............

"Lord Moon God, these people are indeed difficult to deal with." Ghost said gravely, as the fierce battle continued. The strength of these black-robed people was much stronger than expected; even the Hidden Guards found it hard to withstand. Truly ruthless and reticent.

"No choice but to fight to the end," Ji Qian said coldly. They didn’t bring many Hidden Guards on this trip, and no one expected so many attacks. They quickly fell into a disadvantage, and several Hidden Guards were seriously injured. Clearly, their opponents intended to kill, and without saying a word, they attacked directly.

"Moon God Spell—Falling Stars."

"Everyone, prepare to retreat."

"Yes."

Ji Qian activated the Main God Skill, barely holding off the black-robed people, but only won a little time for everyone to retreat.

"Chase." The leader of the black-robed people finally spoke his first word.

"Get out of my way." Suddenly, a shout came from behind them, and a figure flashed past them.

"Boss."

Ye Shikai flashed past the crowd, moving so quickly that they couldn’t even react; he headed towards the black-robed people.

"Blade and Sword, Break."

Bam.

With a loud bang, more than a dozen black-robed men were instantly forced back. The powerful might of the Netherworld Blade and You Xi Sword is not something ordinary people can withstand. With just one move, those black-robed men dared not approach. Plus, the narrow passage didn’t allow for a flanking attack. Ye Shikai held his ground alone, making it impossible for them to advance, realizing they’ve encountered a tough opponent. Momentarily, neither side dared to make a move.

"How’s it going, what’s the situation?" Wuyan came forward to ask.

"The battle is more intense here, look at how many people there are," Ye Shikai said coldly.

"Didn’t expect so many black-robed people," Wuyan slowly stepped forward, intending to help Ye Shikai deal with these people.

"Who are you people?" Ye Shikai questioned. But it was evidently a waste of effort. If not for the leader saying the word "chase," they’d think these people were mutes.

"Not talking, huh? Fine, then don’t talk, you won’t have the chance." Ye Shikai wasn’t one to mess with either; with a wealth of battle experience, he was used to being surrounded. Just these people weren’t enough to threaten him.

"Be careful of their worms," Wuyan suddenly shouted, causing Ye Shikai to instinctively retreat several steps. He’s not afraid of getting hurt; it’s the worms that could be troublesome, so caution is wise.

"Wuyan, what did you say?" Ye Shikai asked coldly.

"These people carry worms; you’d better be careful," Wuyan reminded.

"Let’s go." The leader of the black-robed people suddenly spoke, leading his men to leave swiftly.

"Don’t let them escape."

"Wait, stop chasing them." Wuyan quickly stopped Ye Shikai.

"Why are you stopping me?"

"I told you, they carry worms. Even though I have the Poisonous Insect King now, they are many, and staging a dirty trick is my concern," Wuyan explained.

"Alright, let’s leave it that way," Ye Shikai waved his hand. Pursuing fleeing enemies recklessly might lead to walking into an ambush.

"How are you, Qian, are you okay?" Ye Shikai asked.

"We’re fine, but several Hidden Guard brothers are dead and injured. Right, you fell from such a high place; are you alright?"

"Don’t worry, I have a large life, plus we had an additional gain." Ye Shikai recounted what happened just now in detail, leaving everyone both surprised and delighted.
