Miss Jiu had a beautiful visage and appeared to be no more than twenty years old, radiating elegance and purity as if she were the girl next door.

Yet the five chiefs knew that this was precisely where Miss Jiu's boundless terror lay! In their eyes, Miss Jiu no longer belonged to the mortal world; she was among the immortals!

Miss Jiu's skills had reached the point where she could maintain her youth forever!

Decades ago, when these five chiefs were in their twenties or thirties, Miss Jiu was just as young and sweet-looking.

Decades later, the five chiefs had been ravaged by time, growing old in appearance, but Miss Jiu still preserved that same purity and loveliness, her beauty unchanged, still resembling the girl next door!

"This battle is set for three years from now; Na Wudao has already informed me," Miss Jiu said.

Na Wudao was a peak Grandmaster in Huaxia, with a reputation that spread far and wide, an undefeated Master known throughout the world.

However, Miss Jiu was the Guardian God of Huaxia Country, a lofty immortal among immortals. Even Na Wudao, wanting to arrange a battle with Ye Chen, had to inform Miss Jiu, after all, Ye Chen was once a military king and would soon be a member of the dragon group.

"Why three years later?" the old chiefs wondered.

"Ye Chen is too young yet has already reached the Grandmaster Realm. Such a genius, given three years, will have ample time for his cultivation to breakthrough repeatedly, reaching a pinnacle!"

"In this ultimate battle three years from now, Ye Chen's cultivation might well be on par with the Dragon King of the South Sea, which will be the true zenith of conflicts!"

"Moreover, Na Wudao's vitality is declining, and he needs to cultivate his physique to exert extreme combat power. With three years of nourishment and energy restoration, he too can shed his decrepit form and unleash his strongest fighting power!"

"In this battle, both might achieve a breakthrough amidst the fight, ascending to the limit and tearing through the void to behold the divine, becoming immortals that roam freely between heaven and earth!"

At this point, Miss Jiu's eyes shone with astonishing brightness.

After this battle, Huaxia would gain another Land God, a presence that serves as the strongest deterrent to other nations. With two Guardian Gods, Huaxia's international status would climb inexorably, becoming the most powerful country in the world!

All five chiefs remained silent, a wise gleam in their eyes as they contemplated the gains and losses of this battle.

A Land God, just like Miss Jiu standing before them, could serve as a national guardian deity!

Even ten Martial Arts Grandmasters would struggle against a single Land God. Huaxia already has one guardian deity; what if another were to emerge?!

The five chiefs, all men of iron and blood, placed the interests of the nation above all else!

If it was as Miss Jiu had said, and someone could reach the ultimate transformation in this battle, transcending and becoming a Land God, then this confrontation would be all gain and no loss!

The methods of a Land God are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Even though the five chiefs had known Miss Jiu for a long time, they had never witnessed her methods.

All they knew was that a Land God was powerful, extremely powerful!

Once a Land God unleashed their full power, the destruction wrought would be no less than that of a nuclear bomb!

"I have given my tacit approval for this battle. In fact, I am looking forward to it, eager to see whose fortune will prove stronger, looking forward to the birth of another Land God in Huaxia," Miss Jiu smiled enchantingly, bursting with charm.

"We'll leave this matter entirely to Miss Jiu. Life and death, let fate take its course. We too are Martial Artists and understand destiny," an old chief exclaimed loudly.

The youngest of these chiefs was over fifty, and the oldest had reached the ripe age of eighty. Yet all of them brimmed with vigor, their faces glowing with health, exuding great dignity and the imposing presence of a tiger descending the mountains!

All five chiefs had a foundation in martial arts; their roots ran deep as they all embarked on the path of martial arts, achieving the status of masters, their vitality abundant!

All the chiefs had been enlightened by a master, and though they trained in martial arts merely to strengthen their bodies and fend off assassins, each had remarkable skills.

As for destiny, they all had some understanding. In the face of such profound and enigmatic fate, no one could intervene!

Na Wudao and Ye Chen decided on an ultimate battle as a quest for Transcendence, and this was fate, which no one could stop!

...

"Ye Chen, you are truly invincible!" Zhang Xinlan said, frustrated, glaring at Ye Chen. "You vanished out of the blue for two months, and now you act as if nothing happened. Do you believe I will set a dog on you?"

Ye Chen: "…"

"My dear Xinlan, I really know I was wrong, please forgive me!" Ye Chen pleaded remorsefully, trying to look innocent.

"Who's your Xinlan? Don't get cozy with me!" Zhang Xinlan's anger persisted. "You know you were wrong? I can't tell!"

"Zhang Xinlan, I truly know I was wrong. The situation was just like this, and I had no choice. You wouldn't have wanted me to stand by and not help, right?" Ye Chen was on the verge of tears, explaining as clearly as he could, but Zhang Xinlan refused to speak of forgiveness.

"Fine! Fine! Fine!" Zhang Xinlan laughed bitterly three times, then turned her gaze to Li Yan who was beside Ye Chen. "What's her story? Are you trying to have it both ways?"

Li Yan blinked, she was truly innocent.

"You two have been together for two months, but I don't blame you! However, you bringing her in front of me, flaunting your relationship!"

Zhang Xinlan felt extremely wronged at this point; she wanted to cry, but she couldn't, she couldn't let this faithless man see her vulnerable side.

Originally, Zhang Xinlan was excited and looking forward to seeing Ye Chen, who seemed to have dropped from the sky.

But when she opened the door eagerly and saw Ye Chen with Li Yan, her excitement turned instantly into fury, nearly causing her to curse out loud.

Zhang Xinlan realized she couldn't control her emotions, repeatedly telling herself that she had nothing to do with Ye Chen, yet she couldn't restrain herself.

"There really isn't anything between us like you think!" Ye Chen defended himself, though his words seemed feeble.

"Zhang Xinlan, Ye Chen and I are innocent!" Li Yan also defended herself.

Two days after the hijacked plane landed, Ye Chen escaped with the help of Su Binglan.

At that time, Ye Chen was about to look for Zhang Xinlan but was stopped by Li Yan.

Upon Li Yan's reminder, Ye Chen logged into his WeChat, where Li Yan was his only friend. However, when he opened the WeChat interface, the unread messages nearly overloaded the screen.

All these unread messages were sent by Li Yan. Two months earlier, at the Tianda banquet, Ye Chen had pointed out Li Yan's hidden illness with a single comment.

However, Ye Chen's words seemed so incredible, and since Li Yan often had check-ups showing he was healthy, he didn't believe Ye Chen's "nonsense."

At that time, Li Yan had considered it a lame excuse Ye Chen made up to get close to her.

But one month later, Li Yan began to feel a faint pain in her chest. When she went to the hospital for a check-up, she received a critical condition notice.

Stage-II breast cancer, with the condition worsening— the hospital's recommendation was a full mastectomy!

Upon receiving the diagnosis, Li Yan was completely thrown. She thought this was God playing a joke on her.

Li Yan then visited several authoritative hospitals for detailed examinations, but the results were consistent— stage-II breast cancer!

Facing that pile of test reports, Li Yan was on the verge of collapse. This disaster had struck out of nowhere; she had not been careless with her health, so how could she have contracted this disease?

As the condition rapidly deteriorated, the hospital kept urging Li Yan to undergo surgery, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

But Li Yan's career relied on her graceful figure. How could she possibly choose to have a full mastectomy?

In an almost desperate situation, Li Yan finally thought of Ye Chen, that brazen figure who even dared to ignore Crown Prince Tianda—Goudan'er!

Ye Chen had detected her illness before it manifested, which must mean his medical skills were extraordinarily high. Maybe Ye Chen had a way to cure her cancer without a mastectomy!

However, when Li Yan started to actively look for Ye Chen, she discovered that Goudan'er had vanished without a trace!

Despite her relentless searching, she was met with disappointment after disappointment.

Li Yan had no choice but to pin her hopes on WeChat, thus beginning her long journey on WeChat.

At that time, Ye Chen was so worried about Chu Yanran's affair that he had no time to check WeChat.

However, Tong Xingtong had once played with Ye Chen's phone and seen the unread messages. This was why she insisted Ye Chen and Li Yan were having an affair.

On the plane, Li Yan was surrounded by a group of hijackers and coincidentally ran into comrade Lei Feng—Ye Chen.

With a few punches and kicks that sent shockwaves across the land, Ye Chen knocked down all the hijackers. In that instant, Li Yan thought she was in a fantasy.

Ye Chen didn't want to be exposed in the media, so Li Yan colluded with Su Binglan to deceive everyone, allowing Ye Chen to discreetly leave the scene.

But now that Li Yan had finally found Ye Chen, she certainly wouldn't let him go easily.

Li Yan admitted she was sick, and she wanted Ye Chen to treat her!

Facing Li Yan's request, Ye Chen earnestly tried to decline.

But was there a man in the world who could refuse Li Yan, Huaxia's number one female host?

Of course not. Therefore, Ye Chen nobly offered his help.

However, during the treatment process, some unavoidable incidents occurred, all because Ye Chen had to administer acupuncture!

The condition for the acupuncture was for Li Yan to be bare-chested above the waist. After a struggle, Li Yan agreed to this condition. Unexpectedly, after Ye Chen performed the acupuncture, he also gave Li Yan a session of True Qi massage…

After the physical therapy was complete, Ye Chen gave Li Yan a few pills and instructed her to carefully recuperate. After two more sessions of acupuncture, Li Yan's condition would more or less be cured.

After treating the illness, Ye Chen wanted to find Liu Shihua. Being someone from the circle, Li Yan naturally knew the whereabouts of this big star.

The most melodramatic part was that Li Yan's new movie was a dual-female-lead film, with Li Yan as one of the leads.

And the other leading lady was none other than the big star Liu Shihua!

Liu Shihua glanced at the fuming Zhang Xinlan, then at the helplessly faced Ye Chen, and finally at the innocent-looking female host, Li Yan!

Liu Shihua rubbed her temple with her hand— the amount of information here was overwhelming!

"Sister, let's not take this too seriously," Liu Shihua finally spoke up.

Liu Shihua was sure that if she continued to stay silent, things might escalate into a fight among them.

"Li Yan is a friend of mine, and I know her taste very well. She wouldn't be interested in this bumpkin!" Liu Shihua looked at Ye Chen with contempt.

"Sister Shihua, you finally speak up for justice," Li Yan said with a flirtatious smile, moving closer to Liu Shihua. They were, indeed, very familiar with each other.

"Heh," Zhang Xinlan still sneered. "Ye Chen, everything is over, okay? I really don't want to see you again. Can you get out of my sight?"

Ye Chen: "…"

"Ye Chen, she's moved on to someone else; why are you still insisting?" At that moment, an incredibly beautiful woman appeared uninvited and affectionately linked her arm with Ye Chen's. "Sister is peerlessly elegant. Where do I fall short compared to her? Just accept me!"
