The Playboy Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO-Chapter 554 - 456, Wu Tiandu

(PS: The power's out, so here's one update for now. I'll figure out a way to write the second update. Happy Dragon Boat Festival to everyone!)

"How is this possible?"

Wu Zetian frowned.

For thousands of years, besides her, there had never been anyone else who could withstand the terrifying power of the Soul Imperial Spring.

This Soul Imperial Spring is the purest existence in all of heaven and earth.

If refined, it grants holy power.

Just like Wu Zetian.

After death, subjected to the Spirit Transformation of the Soul Imperial Spring, the soul reconstitutes itself, possessing the power of rebirth.

A sacred Spiritual Breath gathered on Wu Zetian's face.

No one could look straight at her.

But for thousands of years, only Wu Zetian alone could refine the Soul Imperial Spring, even someone as highly cultivated as Emperor Gaozong of Tang could not absorb and refine the Soul Imperial Spring.

Until now, seeing Yang Tian actually refining the Soul Imperial Spring, everyone was shocked.

"Empress, could he be your True Destiny Emperor?"

The old woman said with a look of surprise.

Wu Zetian also gazed closely at Yang Tian.

Even she couldn't imagine that anyone other than herself could refine the Soul Imperial Spring.

"Empress, if there's nothing else, I would like to take Yang Tian back..."

Wu Yue, seeing that things were not going well, quickly pulled Yang Tian to leave.

Wu Zetian remained silent and did not stop Wu Yue.

Soon, Wu Yue pulled Yang Tian out of the empress's sleeping quarters. After releasing Yang Tian's hand, she decisively slapped his face.

Slap!

But Yang Tian quickly caught Wu Yue's incoming wrist.

A wave of softness met his hand.

Yang Tian couldn't help but lower his head to smell the smooth, fair back of Wu Yue's hand: "So fragrant, but President Wu, why did you hit me?"

"I hit you, first, because you barged into the empress's sleeping quarters without permission; and second, why do you have to tease the empress, of all things? Third, most importantly, you can actually refine the Soul Imperial Spring?"

Wu Yue said angrily.

"President Wu, are you jealous?"

Yang Tian asked with a smile.

"Only a fool would be jealous of you!" Wu Yue showed a devilish smile: "Here, there are plenty of young noblemen, crown princes, princes, literary poets, I'm planning to hook one and take him home, they're much more handsome than you!"

"Outrageous!"

Yang Tian said angrily.

Slap!

He heavily slapped Wu Yue on her fiery buttocks.

"You dare to hit me?"

Wu Yue stared angrily at Yang Tian, as if she wanted to chop his hand off.

"President Wu, don't forget, we've signed a rental agreement. Officially, you're my girlfriend. If you dare to hook up with other men, I'll make it so you can't get out of bed for three days and nights!"

Yang Tian said with a serious tone.

"Make it so I can't get out of bed for three days and nights?" Wu Yue's eyes lit up: "Come on then, try making it three days and nights. If you can do it, I'll officially become your girlfriend!"

"Really?"

A fiery gleam filled Yang Tian's eyes.

"But I think you don't have the capability." Wu Yue laughed teasingly, then walked away.

And Yang Tian decisively chased after her, contemplating whether or not to give Wu Yue a domineering surprise at that moment.

Just then.

A familiar voice sounded from the bushes beside them: "Yueyue, is that you?"

Hearing the voice, a hint of confusion flashed through Yang Tian's eyes: Isn't this the voice of Wu Yue's grandfather, Wu Daba?

This Wu Daba came to West Capital saying he was looking for his father, Wu Tiandu.

Previously in the hotel, Yang Tian had met Wu Daba.

"Grandpa, what are you doing here?"

Hearing the voice, Wu Yue walked towards the bushes. When she saw Wu Daba, she froze in place.

"Yueyue, it really is you. Why are you here?" Wu Daba suddenly noticed Yang Tian beside her: "Isn't this young man a descendant of the Chen Family? How did he get in here too?"

"Elder Wu, I find it strange, why are you here? After all, this is the Blessed Cave Mansion Heaven of the Great Tang!"

Yang Tian asked.

Wu Daba initially didn't want to answer Yang Tian's question, but when Wu Yue also asked him, he hesitated a bit before saying: "I was summoned by your great-grandfather!"

"Summoned by great-grandfather? But isn't great-grandfather already deceased?"

Wu Yue said in surprise.

"He's indeed deceased, but a week ago, he appeared in a dream, asking me to come here. At first, I didn't believe the dream was real, but last night, great-grandfather appeared before me, gave me a Spirit Talisman, telling me to stick it on myself, and then enter this Great Tang imperial tomb. That's when I knew everything was real!"

As Wu Daba spoke, he took out a Spirit Talisman.

"Elder Wu, you're saying it's this Spirit Talisman that allowed you to enter here?"

Yang Tian asked.

"Exactly, it is!"

Wu Daba nodded.

"Let me see!"

Yang Tian said.

Wu Daba hesitated for a moment but eventually handed the Spirit Talisman to Yang Tian.

Yang Tian took it, examined it carefully, using his Divine Sense to probe inside, but found no Spiritual Breath fluctuations. Yet, when he stuck the Spirit Talisman on Wu Daba, it emitted strong and eerie light.

Seeing this, Yang Tian said, "Elder Wu, your father might also have entered here. It's possible he was a master within the Great Tang!"

"Really? That would be wonderful!"

Wu Daba said excitedly.

Though Wu Yue's brow furrowed: "Yang Tian, stop talking nonsense. My great-grandfather is already deceased. How can he be here?"

"There shouldn't be any mistake!"

Yang Tian knew well that Wu Tiandu was indeed Wu Yue's great-grandfather.

And Wu Tiandu had another identity, as one of the Four Great Golden Spirit Guardians.

Wu Yue and others naturally didn't know that Wu Tiandu was actually a terrifying cultivator, and for cultivators, extending one's lifespan is quite normal.

If Wu Tiandu was indeed here, for Yang Tian, it would be like achieving a goal with little effort.

"Grandpa, let's not discuss it further. Come with me now, I'll clean you up!"

Unwilling to say more, Wu Yue led Wu Daba back to her courtyard residence.

That evening, Wu Yue prepared a sumptuous dinner for Wu Daba.

Seeing his granddaughter here, Wu Daba was very happy and drank merrily.

After a few rounds of drinks, Wu Daba took the Spirit Talisman back from Yang Tian, sticking it to his chest, and said, "My father told me to keep it attached at all times, not to casually tear it off. If he's really a master here, this Spirit Talisman should protect me, intending for me to come here to cultivate alongside him, becoming a sacred and powerful master!"

Yang Tian fell silent.

He also found it odd.

If Wu Tiandu was really in here, why did he want Wu Daba to come as well?

But all of this would have to wait until they found Wu Tiandu.

That night, Wu Daba drank too much, and Wu Yue and Yang Tian helped him back to his room to rest. However, as soon as Wu Daba lay down, the Spirit Talisman on his chest burst into flames, emitting intense light.

"Yang Tian, what's happening?"

Wu Yue was also startled.

Yang Tian frowned, using his Divine Sense to probe the talisman, when he heard the voice of Emperor Gaozong of Tang from afar: "Disciple, I sense a terrifying Spiritual Breath emanating from your location, a horrifying aura belonging to the Outer Realm Celestial Demon!"

"What? The aura of the Celestial Demon?"

For a moment, Yang Tian looked intently at the Spirit Talisman on Wu Daba's chest.

"Disciple, is there an elder lying in front of you? And on his chest, is there a Spirit Talisman?"

The voice of Emperor Gaozong came again.

"Yes, precisely this elder!"

Yang Tian quickly responded to Emperor Gaozong using his Divine Sense.

"Then it's certain. He has been used by the Celestial Demon. That Spirit Talisman is meant to break a seal, allowing the Celestial Demon to enter here!" Emperor Gaozong's voice was ice-cold: "This elder does not belong to the Great Tang; he must be an outsider. Typically, no one could enter here unless his ancestors were part of the Celestial Demon, allowing the demon to use him!"

Hearing this, Yang Tian was truly shocked.

Part of the Celestial Demon?

So does it mean Wu Tiandu has already become a Celestial Demon?
