The Bodyguard King's CEO Wife-Chapter 1225: Viper Woman
Ye Shikai had just taken a few steps out when he already felt completely exhausted. For so many years, he had been accustomed to a body filled with Inner Strength, but now that it was entirely gone, he couldn’t adapt, feeling even fast walking was difficult.
Stumbling, Ye Shikai nearly fell to the ground, but was easily caught by a pair of jade-like hands. Ye Shikai was not frail, after all, he was a man, but being caught by those hands made his body feel as light as cotton, as if a gust of wind could knock him over.
"Let go of me." Ye Shikai wanted to break free from Chen Yuxin’s grip, but it was in vain. He no longer had Inner Strength, while Chen Yuxin was a cultivator at the Divine Separation stage. So there appeared an extremely ’absurd’ scene of a dignified man being caught by a woman.
"Xin, what are you doing? I just came back, and you’re treating me like this." Ye Shikai was losing patience, even shouting at the pregnant Chen Yuxin. At this moment, he fervently wished Chen Yuxin would suddenly smile, and jokingly say, "Just kidding," like she used to...
But Chen Yuxin remained the same, her eyes void and hollow, as if she had lost her consciousness.
Could it be... this was what Chen Yaogzu meant, that Chen Yuxin had lost her ’spirit’?
"Kai, I’ve been so worried about you lately. But now it’s fine; you can never leave again, and you won’t encounter those dangers anymore." Chen Yuxin didn’t respond to Ye Shikai’s words. More precisely, she seemed not to have heard them at all, standing there giggling. During their high school days together, Ye Shikai loved it when Chen Yuxin held him like this. Back then, Chen Yuxin, who was always delicate and tender, would always arouse a protective instinct in Ye Shikai. But now, this Chen Yuxin made Ye Shikai feel a chill down his spine.
"Kai, why can’t you care for me a little more?" Chen Yuxin muttered, looking down at the ground, one hand gently stroking her abdomen.
"Xin, what’s wrong with you?" At this moment, Ye Shikai also noticed her abnormality. Especially when he heard Chen Yuxin’s complaints, he seemed to understand why she had become this way.
"Say something." Ye Shikai shouted out loud, then Chen Yuxin seemed to be lost in her own world.
Suddenly, Chen Yuxin swiftly turned her head, her eyes fixed on Ye Shikai, almost closing the distance between them. Ye Shikai suddenly felt a crisis, stepping back in shock. However, before he could respond, a sharp pain in his abdomen made him instantly lose strength, lying on the ground trembling with pain, his face turning as pale as paper. As he covered the wound with his hand and looked, blood had already stained his hand red, a dagger pierced straight into his abdomen. Moreover, this spot was none other than the location of the Dantian. With Ye Shikai’s Inner Strength sealed, he couldn’t use it to heal injuries, and the Dantian was where Inner Strength gathered. If it were destroyed, for a cultivator, it wasn’t just Inner Strength sealed, but truly lost.
Ye Shikai curled up painfully on the ground, almost rolling back and forth. If this continued, he would die from excessive blood loss.
"Xin." Ye Shikai lay on the ground, using all his strength to stretch a hand towards Chen Yuxin, yet his action received no response at all, Chen Yuxin looked at Ye Shikai on the ground ’wailing’ as if he were invisible.
Finally, Ye Shikai felt very fatigued; his limbs seemed to be ’attached’ to the ground by invisible forces, unable to move. Just as he wanted to speak, a bloody taste filled his mouth.
.....................
"Am I... dead?" After who knows how long, Ye Shikai finally opened his eyes. He remembered just now he had lost too much blood, so perhaps... he should be dead.
However, the sensation in his limbs quickly made him realize he wasn’t dead, just seriously injured. Yet, as he tried to move his arms, he found his limbs were chained to the four corners of the bed. When he tried to break free, Ye Shikai was hit with the realization that he no longer had Inner Strength. And if he wasn’t mistaken, his Dantian had been destroyed by Chen Yuxin.
Thud, thud, thud.
At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door.
"Kai, you’re finally awake, you scared me to death. You’ve been unconscious for more than a day." Ye Shikai looked around at this place, which seemed like a high-class hospital room. If he remembered rightly, there shouldn’t be this room in the Chen family mansion.
Ye Shikai turned his head, unwilling to acknowledge Chen Yuxin. Without a mirror, he couldn’t see his own state, but in reality, his face was still very pale.
"Kai, how are you feeling? Still uncomfortable?" Chen Yuxin took a warm towel and wiped his cheeks.
"Why are you here." Ye Shikai turned his head, speaking coldly. Now he felt only indifference towards Chen Yuxin, never imagining Chen Yuxin would actually want to kill him.
"Kai, it was my fault yesterday, I apologize to you, alright?" Chen Yuxin smiled slightly, and Ye Shikai keenly noticed that the always graceful and elegant Chen Yuxin had slightly disheveled long hair, no makeup on her face, wearing the same clothes as yesterday, with tear traces at the corners of her eyes. Even now, her eyes were a bit red.
"You..." Ye Shikai wanted to sit up, but was pulled back by the chains, a sharp pain in his abdomen made him gasp coldly.
"Kai, don’t move, I just treated your wound, don’t let it reopen." Chen Yuxin quickly stopped Ye Shikai.
"You... weren’t you going to kill me, do it." Ye Shikai felt a surge of anger, shouting at the woman in front of him.
"Kai, why are you so worked up? Didn’t I say that yesterday’s matter, I apologize to you." Chen Yuxin’s tone was somewhat resentful, seemingly upset with Ye Shikai’s words. If yesterday’s behavior was due to Chen Yuxin losing her mind and acting rashly, Ye Shikai wouldn’t blame her. Chen Yaogzu also said that due to Chen Yuxin’s rapid cultivation, if severely provoked, she would lose her mind. But now it seemed all of this was premeditated.
From returning from the airport yesterday, all of this was a trap carefully laid by Chen Yuxin.
Now that Ye Shikai’s Dantian was destroyed, his Inner Strength lost, while Chen Yuxin still behaved with a ’nonchalant’ attitude, Ye Shikai truly felt heartbroken. Not only that, he finally saw through Chen Yuxin; she was such a venomous woman, who could have imagined her heart was so malicious.
"Kai, I’ve made lunch for you, after being unconscious for so long, you must be hungry."
