The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife
Chapter 191 - 191 191 Netherworld King's Helmet

191: Chapter 191: Netherworld King’s Helmet 191: Chapter 191: Netherworld King’s Helmet Ye Shikai gave the man a blank look, feeling somewhat bewildered.

After all this time, he had been doubting himself; could it be that he really didn’t resemble the Netherworld King?

“Among the twelve Main Gods, the presence of Huaxia people is rare.

It’s unexpected that I would encounter one,” the robed man moved swiftly and came right up to Ye Shikai, grabbing his arm.

Ye Shikai instinctively wanted to fight back, but the man stopped him.

“Don’t be alarmed, I just want to have a look.” Seeing that the man meant no harm, Ye Shikai also let go of the thought of resisting.

The robed man seemed to be taking his pulse, his expression turning somewhat grave, “You have both Eastern cultivation techniques and Western energy, this young fellow is quite remarkable, indeed.”

“The cultivation of the East and West has always been distinct, coupled with cultural differences, leading to endless disputes between the two.

You practice an ancient Eastern cultivation technique, but I can feel a Western energy within you, that’s quite surprising indeed.” Ye Shikai reflected on the robed man’s words.

He practiced the Emperor Xuan Scripture, an ancient cultivation technique.

As for the Western energy, Ye Shikai faintly felt that it might be related to the Demon Addiction within him.

“Senior, may I ask for your name?” inquired Ye Shikai.

“Ha ha, who I am is not important.

I reckon that after today, you won’t likely encounter me again,” the robed man chuckled lightly, “Why bother getting to know someone who is about to vanish?”

“Then Senior, what are you doing in this palace?” Ye Shikai questioned further.

“Waiting for someone.

It’s been a long time,” the man sighed lightly, seemingly changing the subject, “If Eastern and Western cultivation are said to be incompatible, then in your case, it’s a fusion of both.”

“Is the difference between the two so great?” Ye Shikai wondered.

“The difference, they are all a product of this planet, so how could they really be irreconcilable?

In truth, the cultivation of East and West is different paths to the same goal.

It’s only because of different mindsets that they manifest in different ways.

Eastern cultivation favors self-improvement and refinement, treating Inner Strength as a foundation, while the West tends to use Inner Strength to enhance combat abilities,” the robed man said indifferently.

“The twelve Main Gods are, after all, a product of the West.

Before you became the Netherworld King, you practiced Eastern cultivation techniques, which might cause a conflict in the cultivation of your Inner Strength, and you could potentially lose control because of it.” The robed man was referring to Ye Shikai’s Demon Addiction; this explanation made sense.

“May I ask if there is a way to resolve it, Senior?” Ye Shikai bowed and asked.

If he could solve the issue of Demon Addiction, Ye Shikai’s combat power could increase by at least thirty percent, and he wouldn’t have to worry about harming others during an outbreak.

“That…

I really do not know.

Historically, those who have cultivated both Eastern and Western techniques are rare.

Regarding this, I have no reliable solution.

Solving this problem depends on you,” Ye Shikai felt somewhat disappointed, no solution for his Demon Addiction.

“Don’t lose heart.

Misfortune and fortune go hand in hand.

I bet the dilemma you face now will prove beneficial to you one day,” said the robed man.

Ye Shikai felt a bit helpless, sensing these were mere words of comfort.

“Alright, you now understand what you should.

Since you have come here, you’re clearly seeking an opportunity,” said the robed man, pointing to the throne above, “Help yourself.” With that, the man vanished on the spot.

Such a strange man—coming and going without a trace—Ye Shikai climbed the throne step by step, only to see a purple helmet at the top.

“The Netherworld King’s Helmet,” Ye Shikai exclaimed.

He had found records about the Netherworld King’s Helmet in the Netherworld Palace.

It was said that, not only could this helmet greatly enhance one’s defense, but the most crucial part was that wearing it granted invisibility.

With this, Ye Shikai would truly be a fitting Netherworld King, taking lives undetectably.

Ye Shikai reached out to grab the helmet, but as soon as his hand touched it, it felt like he had touched a great magnet, his hand stuck firmly onto the helmet, unable to move.

The helmet continuously drained Ye Shikai’s energy, absorbing it incessantly.

Despite exerting all his strength, Ye Shikai could not free himself, feeling more and more dizzy as his body’s strength began to fade…

“What’s happening to me?” After an indeterminate amount of time, Ye Shikai slowly awoke from his slumber.

As he opened his eyes, he found himself sitting on the throne with the Netherworld King’s Helmet beside his hand.

Once bitten, twice shy, Ye Shikai suddenly withdrew his hand, afraid to touch the helmet.

What had happened?

Why was his Inner Strength absorbed?

Growing anxious, Ye Shikai circulated his Inner Strength and found everything to be normal, identical to before he lost consciousness.

Finally, he bravely grasped the helmet and gently placed it on his head.

The purple helmet emitted a faint glow, and as Ye Shikai looked at his arm, he was amazed to see his whole body turn transparent; the invisibility effect was real.

Ye Shikai was thrilled.

The Netherworld King’s Helmet could definitely be used as a trump card, and its invisibility feature could be useful in many situations.

In his excitement, the sound of a door opening caught his ear.

Ye Shikai turned sharply, and to his surprise, a door behind the throne began to open slowly, surely leading to the depths of the Netherworld Palace.

Having come this far, there was no reason to be afraid.

Ye Shikai, wearing the helmet, slowly stepped inside.

As soon as he entered, a scent reminiscent of ancient books greeted him.

My goodness, this was like a vast library.

Ye Shikai casually browsed a book, but it was filled with indecipherable symbols, quite disappointing.

He then took out several books featuring some ancient script, which appeared to be Huaxia characters from antiquity.

Ye Shikai stored all these books in his Storage Ring.

Although he couldn’t understand them, Ji Qian surely could.

With her around, these books wouldn’t be wasted.

Ye Shikai noticed something shining in his clothes pocket.

Upon inspection, it was the Netherworld King’s Token, which was growing increasingly bright.

He felt a tremendous energy fluctuation coming from it.

This Token seemed to be guiding something.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot out from the Token towards the depths of the Netherworld Palace.

Ye Shikai lit a torch with his Inner Strength for light and proceeded to explore further into the Netherworld Palace.
