The Playboy Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO-Chapter 551 - 453: Men Don’t Easily Shed Tears (Second Update)

(ps: The Empress of Great Tang is purely fictional and has no relation to history.)

"Help me, my illness is acting up again..."

Wu Zetian looked pale, tightly grasping Yang Tian's arm.

Yang Tian held Wu Zetian in his arms.

The first sensation was feeling an extreme coldness within Wu Zetian's body.

The aura that originally enveloped Wu Zetian's face like a divine light now bathed her body, making Wu Zetian appear very sacred.

But at the same time, it brought her a bone-chilling torment.

Boom!

Yang Tian circulated the Spiritual Breath within him, surging it into Wu Zetian's body.

Yet he realized it was to no avail.

"Soul Spring Water..."

Wu Zetian's face was pale, as if she couldn't hold on any longer.

She murmured softly and, engulfed in severe cold, fainted instantly.

"This is trouble!"

Yang Tian carried Wu Zetian out of the flower pool.

The divine light turned into ice crystals, continuously coalescing on Wu Zetian's body.

Initially, Yang Tian wanted to counter these ice crystals by transforming the Spiritual Breath into flames, but found it futile.

"Soul Spring Water?"

Yang Tian thought of the Old Woman taking out a bowl of spring water for Wu Zetian to drink, but at the moment, where could he find this Soul Spring Water?

If the Old Woman knew Yang Tian was here, it would surely create a commotion in the Great Tang's imperial palace.

After all, Wu Zetian was the empress of the Great Tang.

Although Yang Tian did not belong to the Great Tang, Emperor Gaozong of Tang was his master, and Wu Zetian was his master's wife.

Exposure would spell trouble for Yang Tian.

Yet Wu Zetian's life was the most important, so Yang Tian felt a bit anxious.

At this moment, Yang Tian noticed Wu Zetian's delicate lips had turned pale. This paleness appeared more bizarre than the rest of her body's, making Yang Tian feel uneasy.

"Help me..."

Even in her unconscious state, Wu Zetian emitted shivering sounds.

A sliver of cold air emerged from Wu Zetian's delicate lips.

Yang Tian suddenly kissed Wu Zetian's lips.

The first feeling was one of wetness and softness.

But saving a life was crucial, so Yang Tian forcefully inhaled the cold breath, seeing Wu Zetian's face become less pale.

This filled Yang Tian with hope.

He continued kissing Wu Zetian's lips, persistently drawing out the cold breath.

Unknowingly, Yang Tian's tongue slipped into Wu Zetian's delicate mouth.

He sensed an unprecedented fragrance.

For a moment, he froze.

The image of Yamaguchi Reiko appeared in his mind, and at this moment, Yang Tian felt Yamaguchi Reiko was in his arms.

He laid Wu Zetian gently on the hall, circulated the Spiritual Breath, and with a strong inhale, drew out most of the cold breath within Wu Zetian.

Gradually, Wu Zetian's face regained its rosy hue.

"Oof!"

Wu Zetian let out a soft sound, opened her eyes, and saw a scene that infuriated her.

She saw Yang Tian lying on her, continuously kissing her lips, while his hands roamed unrestrainedly over her body.

"What are you doing?"

Wu Zetian forcefully pushed Yang Tian away.

"Rizi!"

Yang Tian's mind was filled with Yamaguchi Reiko's face before she died, full of reluctance, making him tightly embrace Wu Zetian and passionately kiss her lips again.

"I am the Empress of the Great Tang; you have a lot of nerve!"

Wu Zetian's face was filled with anger as she tried desperately to push Yang Tian away.

But no matter how hard she pushed, she couldn't move Yang Tian.

For a moment, she panicked.

Feeling Yang Tian's hands becoming even more audacious, Wu Zetian became even more flustered and anxiously said, "Stop immediately, I am your master's wife!"

This sentence made Yang Tian suddenly tremble and freeze.

"You are now the emperor's disciple, and you need to cultivate the Power Seal. By name, I am your master's wife. If you disrespect me, you are defying the heavens!"

Seeing Yang Tian stop, Wu Zetian emphasized.

Yang Tian released Wu Zetian, stepping back a pace.

Honestly, he feared neither the Great Tang nor the emperor, but Emperor Gaozong of Tang was his master; how could he show disrespect to his master's wife?

From the moment he knelt before Emperor Gaozong of Tang, he had respected him as his master.

And Wu Zetian was thereby his master's wife.

"Yang Tian, you are dead!"

Seeing Yang Tian's silent face, Wu Zetian intensified, slapping him.

This slap came unexpectedly.

And with great force.

It could be said Wu Zetian used all her strength to slap.

Had it landed on Yang Tian's face, it would surely have drawn blood.

Slap!

Yang Tian reached out, firmly grasping Wu Zetian's wrist.

He said in a deep voice, "Master's wife, just now it was disrespectful of me, but it was only to save you."

"You saved me?"

Wu Zetian sneered, attempting another slap, but seeing Yang Tian's cold face, she halted, knowing she wasn't his match; provoking Yang Tian might lead to her death.

The best way to deal with someone like Yang Tian was to use the authority of the Great Tang as punishment.

By then, it wouldn't just be exterminating nine generations.

It could mean Yang Tian would never regain his standing.

With this thought, Wu Zetian knew what to do.

She stood up and quickly walked out.

Seeing Wu Zetian leave, Yang Tian didn't need to think twice to know she was going to inform Emperor Gaozong of Tang. Knowing Gaozong was his master, Yang Tian's face turned silent, whispering: Forget it, today I'm guilty of disrespecting my master's wife; if the master decides to execute me, it would be deserved.

Still, a pang of sorrow lingered in Yang Tian's heart.

He thought of Yamaguchi Reiko again.

Ding ding!

A bell-like sound rang, stirring Yang Tian to glance at Wu Zetian's ankle, where he saw a small Jade Pendant.

Such a small Jade Pendant, yet it shook him: "Master's wife, wait, I understand you want to find the master. I deserve to die a thousand deaths, but isn't the Jade Pendant on master's wife's ankle inscribed with the word 'Rizi'?"

Suddenly, Wu Zetian halted.

She turned back, surprised, and asked, "How do you know the Jade Pendant on my ankle is inscribed with 'Rizi'?"

"It really is Rizi?" Yang Tian was more shocked than Wu Zetian, "Master's wife, does this Jade Pendant emit warmth every night?"

"How do you know so clearly? Have you seen such a Jade Pendant?"

Wu Zetian asked, puzzled.

"Rizi, you are Rizi!"

Yang Tian was moved.

In the Assassin Camp for that half year, Yang Tian knew Yamaguchi Reiko wore a Jade Pendant on her ankle.

The Jade Pendant was inscribed with 'Rizi'.

Every night, it would glow and warm up.

"Rizi?" Wu Zetian, intelligent as she was, suddenly asked, "Yang Tian, are you being disrespectful to me because you mistake me for someone else?"

Yang Tian trembled and fell silent.

Yet his face was filled with sorrow.

The image of Yamaguchi Reiko's regretful and reluctant face before she died floated in his mind, and a tear seeped from Yang Tian's eye.

A man rarely sheds tears unless deeply sorrowful.

Wu Zetian stopped, realizing the man in front of her had a story.

She waited silently, hoping Yang Tian would tell his tale.

"Indeed, you look exactly like my first love. She also had a Jade Pendant like yours, but she died, in my arms..."

Yang Tian's mind was filled with Yamaguchi Reiko, and his regret, longing, affection, and remembrance for her poured out.

When he finished, tears were streaming down Yang Tian's face.

He was unwilling.

Such a woman who deeply loved him died in his embrace.

Wu Zetian listened quietly, unbeknownst to her, moved by Yang Tian's story as well, a tear streaking down her face...
