Ye Chen, Liu Yingxiong, and Li Yingjie finished their discussions and returned to the King's Feast, where everyone stared at him with peculiar expressions.

It was a look mixed with peeping, reverence, and fear.

Yang Fan had arrived with might but left disheartened, subdued by Ye Chen's domineering presence. This news had spread throughout the entire King's Feast in an extremely short time.

At this moment, Ye Chen was evidently more eye-catching than the host of the King's Feast, Liu Yingxiong.

"Ye Chen, you've successfully pretended to be awesome, and your fame has skyrocketed!" Liu Shihua noticed the awe-filled gazes around him and sighed, "I vaguely remember you coming from the countryside, entering the big city for the first time. Back then, you were such a bumpkin, and now, you've transformed and successfully won over the goddess!"

"Poor me, beautiful beyond comparison, my gorgeous Xinlan has been conquered by a bumpkin!" Liu Shihua sighed leisurely.

"Liu Shihua, what exactly do you mean by that, are you mocking or complimenting me?" Ye Chen said, his face darkening.

"Complimenting you!" Liu Shihua raised an eyebrow, "Do you believe it?"

Ye Chen felt a strong urge to strangle Liu Shihua.

"Ying'er, come here, I want to tell you something." Ye Chen saw a beautiful figure at the King's Feast and then dragged Lin Ying to one side.

"Now calling her Ying'er, isn't this nickname too intimate? They couldn't possibly be involved, could they?" Liu Shihua wondered suspiciously. "Xinlan, what do you think about this?"

Zhang Xinlan was right there, witnessing everything with her own eyes, but her expression remained calm, showing no sign of anger.

"Their relationship is very pure!" Zhang Xinlan said calmly.

In fact, just a moment ago, Ye Chen had whispered to Zhang Xinlan, sharing a decision that made her extremely happy.

"Xinlan, this isn't like you!" Liu Shihua frowned, "Based on how you were acting a while ago, seeing Ye Chen getting cozy with another woman should have driven you berserk!"

"Liu Shihua, can we please converse normally!" Zhang Xinlan was on the verge of going crazy, she wasn't that bad.

"Okay, okay," Liu Shihua smacked her lips, "But aren't you worried about Ye Chen getting involved with this ice queen?"

"Liu Shihua, I've noticed your ulterior motives!" Zhang Xinlan glared at Liu Shihua, "You constantly stir up trouble for me and Ye Chen, and try to drive a wedge between us with your words. Are you trying to break us up?"

"What a big misunderstanding, why would I want to break you up!" Liu Shihua cried out in protest.

"I've noticed the way you look at Ye Chen recently; do you have feelings for him?" Zhang Xinlan scrutinized her.

"You're overthinking it. I'm just his aunt!" Liu Shihua said, then pointed at Ye Chen, "Xinlan, look, Ye Chen is flirting with another beauty again!"

Zhang Xinlan: "..."

Once she noticed Zhang Xinlan's attention had shifted, Liu Shihua silently sighed with relief. She had been behaving herself, revealing nothing, so how did Xinlan discover her slight interest in that jerk?

"Li Yan, you've become even more beautiful and charming in just a few days!" Ye Chen smiled as he greeted the female anchor.

"Ye Chen, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your mouth has gotten even sweeter," Li Yan said, her face revealing a subtle joy upon Ye Chan's initiative to talk to her.

That day, after Ye Chen had administered acupuncture on her and left her with some Body Sculpting Pills, she had revitalized. Moreover, this transformation had no setbacks; she felt like she had undergone a complete change, feeling refreshed and radiant every day.

This transformation was brought by the man before her, who had cured her terminal illness and reshaped her figure with his hands, causing Li Yan to feel strangely cautious around Ye Chen.

This feeling was very special, longing to see him, yet also afraid to meet him!

When Li Yan noticed that Ye Chen seemed to be deliberately glancing at her chest, her heart was thrown into chaos as if ten thousand horses were galloping through it.

This was the first time the female anchor had experienced such a feeling; the subtlety of encountering Ye Chen made her too shy to speak.

"How effective was my massage technique?" Ye Chen asked, his eyes unabashedly observing the female anchor.

"..." Li Yan's face reddened, conveying a deep blush.

Li Yan inwardly scolded Ye Chen. Even though they had some physical closeness, with so many people at the King's Feast, it was too brazen of him to act like this. Couldn't he find a more private place to say these things?

"Er."

Ye Chen hadn't anticipated that his teasing would provoke such a reaction from Li Yan.

"Ye Chen, with so many people here, could you please not talk like this?" Li Yan said softly, her cheeks pink.

Seeing the female anchor's tempting demeanor, Ye Chen's heart unavoidably fluttered, secretly thinking that Li Yan was too beautiful, almost making him lose control.

"Actually, Li Yan, I have some good news to tell you!" Ye Chen said.

"Good news?" Li Yan was stunned, somewhat puzzled.

"Do you remember asking me to find you a bodyguard?" Ye Chen said.

When Ye Chen and Li Yan first met, she had asked him to introduce a top-notch expert as her bodyguard.

"You found one?" Li Yan was delighted.

Li Yan indeed remembered this matter, but she hadn't expected the favor she asked of Ye Chen to be resolved so quickly.

Peng Tanshen had been crippled by Ye Chen with a single slap, and during this period, Li Yan had not looked for another bodyguard because she needed a super soldier, someone who could defend a pass against ten thousand men!

Actually, her most favored candidate for a personal bodyguard was Ye Chen, but Li Yan was too shy to brazenly poach Ye Chen.

"Her, you know her, right?" Ye Chen pulled Lin Ying to the front. "You shook hands just a few days ago!"

However, this icy beauty clearly seemed reluctant.

"Uh!" Li Yan almost choked on her own saliva. "Miss Lin, such a delicate beauty, how could she work as a bodyguard!"

Li Yan thought Ye Chen was joking with her. After all, Lin Ying looked cold and frail, and didn't seem like an expert at all. If she really came over, Lin Ying could perhaps manage to be an assistant.

"You know Li Yingjie, right?" Ye Chen looked towards Li Yingjie in the arena. "She is more formidable than Li Yingjie!"

"Ye Chen, did you take your medicine today?" Li Yan was beyond speechless.

Li Yingjie was a martial arts master, a revered martial arts giant. How could Lin Ying, such a frail beauty, overcome a master of his caliber?

"Just now, somebody called the martial lunatic came by, did you know? She slapped him and sent him flying. Surely you must know about that, right?" Ye Chen felt like his kind intentions were being treated like a donkey's liver and lungs.

"I just arrived; I really didn't know!" Li Yan covered her mouth and chuckled lightly. She had arrived late today and missed the earlier excitement.

"Well, then, it seems I just have to let you witness her prowess!" Ye Chen said, somewhat helplessly, as he brought over a tall wine glass. "Ying'er, she doesn't believe in you, turn this glass into debris!"

Li Yan "..."

Lin Ying, not much of a talker, quietly watched Ye Chen, her expression somewhat pitiful.

"Ye Chen, I really don't want to leave you!" Lin Ying finally spoke. "The giant crocodile is still lurking in the dark, ready to launch a deadly attack on you at any moment. Now that you are powerless, if I leave and you die, what then?"

"I won't die!" Ye Chen whispered in Lin Ying's ear. "Ying'er, it's inconvenient for us to do anything with you around! Zhang Xinlan is currently too suspicious. For now, stay by Li Yan's side to lower her guard. When I have time, I'll come see you secretly and even let you sleep on my arm!"

"Really?" Lin Ying said.

During this time, Zhang Xinlan watched her like a hawk, and Ye Chen indeed had become quite reserved with her.

"Do I look like I'm lying?" Ye Chen said earnestly.

"Okay, then!" Lin Ying nodded. She took the tall wine glass from Ye Chen's hand, lightly pinched with both hands, and the transparent crystal glass turned into a pile of debris, slowly sliding from her fingertips.

Li Yan watched the glass debris slipping from Lin Ying's fingers, shock evident on her face, and a hint of fear in her gaze towards Lin Ying. This was unscientific!

Lin Ying was an icy beauty, but her combat power was off the charts. This huge contrast gave Li Yan a surreal feeling.

"Do you believe it now?" Ye Chen said.

"Miss Lin, let sister check your hands, are you all right?" Li Yan caught Lin Ying's hands, found the pair of jade hands unharmed, and then felt relieved. "Miss Lin, I didn't know you were so powerful, truly a great master!"

"Then from now on, stay close by me, help me block knives and bullets, alright?" Li Yan joked.

Lin Ying quietly looked at Li Yan for a few seconds, then nodded, truly not much of a talker.

"Miss Lin, I was just joking. You don't have to take it so seriously; there aren't that many knives in the world, nor that many bullets. Stay by my side as my bodyguard, and let's be like sisters!" Li Yan said, exuding an elder sister's demeanor.

"I will protect you," Lin Ying said softly, standing beside Li Yan.

Lin Ying was cold as ice, disregarding most people, but seeing Li Yan's clear gaze, knowing that she was a sincere person, she was willing to get closer.

"From now on, she is your personal bodyguard!" Ye Chen declared to Li Yan. "However, even though she will stick close to you, she will absolutely hold no inappropriate thoughts towards you, you can be completely assured of that!"

"You jerk!" Li Yan scolded, feeling a strange sensation in her heart from Ye Chen's teasing.

Could it be that he was so eager to find me a female bodyguard to prevent me from getting hurt? Could he really care about me that much?

"Li Yan, are you also attracted to my cousin-in-law, seeing him with that kind of eyes?" Just then, a frivolous voice rang out.
