The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife
Chapter 80 - 80 80 Visitors from the Sea God

80: Chapter 80 Visitors from the Sea God 80: Chapter 80 Visitors from the Sea God Ye Shikai couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.

Encountering a cultivator in Huaxia was never a trivial matter, let alone in a bustling urban district.

Looking at the small alley by the roadside, a hint of inspiration flashed through his mind, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up with an idea.

Ye Shikai turned and dashed into an alley, while not far behind him, the expression of a man turned rather grave.

He hurriedly pursued, fearing that he would lose his target.

When the man arrived at the entrance of the alley and hesitated, gazing down the narrow, deserted lane, he was somewhat worried.

However, after a few seconds, he resolutely entered, with only one goal in mind—to complete his mission.

Following the alley into its depths, the man quickly ran into trouble.

One intersection after another unfolded before him, and he was unsure which one Ye Shikai had taken, resulting in the loss of his quarry’s trail.

He could only wander aimlessly through this “labyrinth” like a headless fly.

“Are you looking for me?” Just as the man stopped at an intersection, a ghostly voice echoed from behind him, belonging to Ye Shikai, who had just slipped in.

Ye Shikai was now sitting on some stone steps, taking pleasure in watching the man before him, and couldn’t resist taunting, “Are you a detective?

Fancy playing tail now.”

The man’s face showed shock; when he turned around, he saw Ye Shikai.

When had he snuck up behind him?

His face stern, it took a few seconds before he saw that Ye Shikai had no intention of attacking and his expression returned to normal.

He smiled at Ye Shikai, “Your reputation as the Netherworld King is indeed well deserved.”

Hearing this, Ye Shikai’s face darkened.

The man had cut right to the chase and exposed his real identity.

It seemed that he had been investigated thoroughly, even uncovering the fact that he was the Main God, the Netherworld King.

“Who are you, to be so informed of my identity?” Ye Shikai didn’t bother to conceal it any longer.

Since the other party was aware, he was confident enough to confirm it, and there was no point in playing ignorant.

It was better to be frank.

Ye Shikai mobilized his Inner Strength, emitting an invisible energy from within that felt overwhelmingly oppressive, as if a massive boulder pressed down upon one’s chest, making even breathing difficult.

The man’s face contorted in pain.

He hadn’t expected the Netherworld King to be so formidable—not one of the Main Gods was to be trifled with.

The man also released an energy from his body, resisting the power emanating from Ye Shikai, but the energy from Ye Shikai seemed to be the superior force.

The man still felt the pressure, which was now laced with a thick intent to kill.

“The Netherworld King is indeed upfront, so let me be clear as well,” the man strained to say.

“I am Jialong, a general under the great Sea God Poseidon.

I have been sent here by Lord Poseidon himself to find you.”

“What?

You’re one of Poseidon’s men?” The mention of “Poseidon” immediately piqued Ye Shikai’s interest.

Poseidon was one of the twelve Main Gods, the Sea God with formidable strength, ranking high among the Main Gods.

His stronghold, the Sea King Palace, was located in South America, and he had many followers.

His most feared move, a technique allegedly derived from the energy of Holy Mountain—that was Divine Power of the Main Gods; he had once used it to annihilate a mercenary group in one fell swoop, earning his fame.

Thus, even among the Main Gods, there weren’t many who dared provoke him.

“Yes, I have come under the order of Lord Poseidon,” the man nodded, feeling much relief as Ye Shikai retracted his energy, causing the surrounding energy field to gradually dissipate around them.

“Alright, let’s hear it then.

What does he want from me?” Ye Shikai remained seated on the stone steps, legs crossed and looking down from his elevated position at the man.

“Lord Poseidon has heard that the Netherworld King has acquired a divine stone in Huaxia and would like to borrow it for a look, and so he sent me to Huaxia to request it from the Netherworld King.”

Ye Shikai was somewhat surprised after listening.

He hadn’t expected Jialong to come all the way to Huaxia just for a stone that he had gotten from an auction, which was initially considered mere junk.

However, it seemed this stone, rumored to be a marvel from the West, must indeed be genuine; otherwise, Poseidon wouldn’t have sent his general to ask for it.

But Ye Shikai also understood clearly that there must be some secret hidden within the stone that had left Poseidon coveting it.

Furthermore, Ji Qian had mentioned before that Holy Mountain might have a connection to his Demon Addiction, and now it appeared that this stone could potentially be from Holy Mountain.

Although currently unaware, it didn’t mean he would remain ignorant in the future.

It seemed a trip to Europe might indeed be necessary.

“What do you think, Netherworld King?

What’s your decision?” Jialong looked at Ye Shikai, inquiring anxiously.

“If he wants it, let him come and get it himself,” Ye Shikai replied.

He wasn’t going to foolishly hand over the stone to Poseidon.

It was a significant discovery, and it might potentially cure the Demon Addiction festering within him.

As for borrowing, that was clearly child’s play.

Would Poseidon voluntarily return it after discovering the stone’s secrets?

It didn’t bear thinking about.

Moreover, to simply lend it upon request would undermine his standing; he was, after all, the Netherworld King.

“Lord Poseidon is busy with a myriad of matters and likely doesn’t have the time to come to Huaxia.

It would suffice to hand it over to me,” Jialong, sensing Ye Shikai’s implication, had yet to turn hostile, merely pressing.

“I said, let him come here himself, or it won’t happen,” Ye Shikai’s tone turned cold, and he slowly stood up.

Without the stone, he was ready for a fight—it seemed a battle was inevitable today.

“So you’re saying… you won’t give it to me?” Jialong’s voice also turned colder.

Since you’ve torn the pretense of civility, then don’t blame me.

“So what if I am,” Ye Shikai replied indifferently.

He was determined not to surrender the stone to Poseidon.

“If it is Lord Poseidon’s command, the mission must be accomplished.

Then I must seek some counsel from the Netherworld King,” Jialong clenched his fists, with energy already starting to circulate within him.

A battle was imminent.

“What, you, a mere subordinate, dare challenge a god?

Are you sure you want to make a move against me?” Ye Shikai’s eyes glinted provocatively.

If it were Poseidon himself, he would indeed take it seriously.

He had once sparred with Poseidon, barely having the upper hand.

But if it was just one of Poseidon’s minions, he felt far less pressure.

“Challenge a god, why not,” Jialong had completely discarded all pretenses.

Since it had come to blows, why waste words?

He had never fought a Main God before.

The invincible Netherworld King, this would finally be his opportunity to clash.

Finishing his words, Jialong’s body moved; with a clenched right fist, he struck fiercely towards Ye Shikai’s chest.
