The Bodyguard King's CEO Wife-Chapter 1254: Bonds

"You’re talking about the new Netherworld Empress." Zeus raised an eyebrow at Aphrodite’s words, took a cigar from the drawer, lit it, and began to take deep drags. Zeus was always insidious and cunning, calm and composed, and smoking a cigar was evidently a way to alleviate anxiety. It showed that his evaluation of Chen Yuxin was unusual.

To be honest, when he heard Chen Yuxin’s proposal, he couldn’t help but be astonished. Chen Yuxin was the first "extraordinary woman" he had ever met. Why describe her this way? Chen Yuxin’s tactics were the most "vicious" he had seen. Aphrodite was known as the Goddess of Beauty, but in reality, the more beautiful the woman, the deeper her schemes. Before meeting Chen Yuxin, Zeus considered Aphrodite the most scheming and ruthless woman. Yet, after meeting her, Zeus realized he was wrong; Chen Yuxin was the first. Compared to Aphrodite’s cruelty, she was even more so.

Moreover, the resources Chen Yuxin possessed, including funds, connections, followers, and influence, far surpassed those of Aphrodite. In this way, executing her goals was much easier than it was for Aphrodite. Thus, her cruelty appeared even more evident.

From another perspective, at least Zeus was certain that Aphrodite wouldn’t do such a thing to him. Thinking about it now, what use is Ye Shikai’s martial prowess, deep inner strength, and number of followers? In the end, he was plotted against by the one beside him. Calling it "capsizing in a ditch" would not be an exaggeration. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Zeus regarded Ye Shikai as his greatest nemesis in life. Two main gods, one Eastern and one Western, seemingly born to be adversaries. To be honest, Zeus did not hate Ye Shikai; their battles were born out of competition, inevitably, without any personal emotional factors.

"Hades, oh Hades, your life was heroic, yet in the end, it was all for naught. As an old friend, I can only pray for you in my heart," Chen Yuxin sending Ye Shikai to Zeus was not to harm him, on the contrary, she made sure Zeus couldn’t harm him in the slightest. According to the agreement, the Chen family would send eighty Out-of-Body Stage guards and twenty Divine Separation Stage elders to accompany Ye Shikai. The sole mission was to protect his safety. Such a formation, even the entire Moon God Temple combined couldn’t withstand. Regardless of which corner of the world this situation was placed, it was a "ticking time bomb." Zeus accepting so many cultivators into North America was also a form of "courage."

"Hades has always been a hopeless romantic, destined to fall into the abyss due to emotions." Aphrodite also sighed, "He is a hero, but worries about too much, and these are the entanglements on his path forward. Women in his life are assistants, but also executioners."

Since Ye Shikai entered the underworld, he was acknowledged as the man with the most female admiration. Not only the Moon God Ji Qian but even the Valkyrie Athena seemed to hold affection for him. This matter was almost a public secret in the underworld, even Athena implicitly acknowledged this. Combined with his brother Wang Kai, the four main gods uniting could unify the underworld, but alas, Ye Shikai overthinks everything. If Zeus had made the decisions for him, he would have never returned to Yanjing. If so, the underworld should have already been unified by him, how could there have been so many incidents?

But now, Ye Shikai is destined to be ruined by his "choices."

"Someone, come."

"Lord Zeus, what are your orders?"

"Notify everyone in the God King Hall to assemble and stand by. Three days from now, we head to Europe," Zeus ordered sternly.

"Yes, my lord."

"Let’s go. You’ll accompany me too." Zeus slowly turned his head and wrapped his arm around Aphrodite’s slender waist.

"Hmph, of course, I also want to see how the War God and Valkyrie end up defeated by you."

Yanjing.

"Kai, what are you doing?" Chen Yuxin walked into the study. Ye Shikai was sitting in his spot, reading a foreign novel. Although it was called a study, the Chen family’s study was more like a library with bookshelves all around, filled with various books, reaching up to four stories high, very much like a foreign library atmosphere. Speaking of which, the study had been renovated by Chen Yuxin due to Ye Shikai. During high school, the two had visited the Yanjing City Library, and Ye Shikai was instantly captivated by the atmosphere. The design of this study was based on that library.

"Just reading some books casually." Ye Shikai put the book back on the shelf and picked up another one.

"Kai, I have a plan. Would you like to hear it?" Chen Yuxin smiled mysteriously as she sat beside Ye Shikai, affectionately holding his arm.

"What’s the plan? Tell me about it." Ye Shikai seemed to be in a good mood, his adaptability strong, especially psychologically. For a cultivator, losing inner strength, physical health was secondary; the main issue was psychological acceptance. Turning from a master into a nobody, just like a king reduced to a prisoner overnight, such a mental gap isn’t easy for everyone to accept.

Ye Shikai had seen quite a few cultivators lose their inner strength and fall into despair, sometimes even committing suicide.

"The group wants to set up a new processing base in North America, I want to go have a look, but..."

"You want me to accompany you, right?" Ye Shikai saw Chen Yuxin’s hesitation and grinned, immediately guessing her intention.

"Mm, initially, I didn’t want to go, but this base is important. The group is trying to expand into the North American market, and this is the first step. You know, many elders in the family think I’m too young to be fit as the Family Head. I can’t let the group’s accounts look bad, right?"

"You’ve said so much, even if I don’t agree, you won’t give up, will you?" Ye Shikai chuckled bitterly.

"Kai, please come with me." Chen Yuxin said while shaking his shoulders like a child acting spoiled.

"Alright, alright, I never said I wouldn’t agree." Ye Shikai nodded in agreement. Being cooped up in the Chen family was making him nearly depressed; going to North America could serve as a kind of relaxation.

"Great, I’ll go book the flight tickets now." Chen Yuxin nodded happily, a smile blossoming on her face. Watching her belly grow day by day, Ye Shikai couldn’t bring himself to hold any resentment. For this family, for this child, he had to accept this outcome. At least he was now truly away from a life of fighting, which is what he wanted, wasn’t it?
