The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife
Chapter 359 - 359 359 Demoness's Alertness

359: Chapter 359 Demoness’s Alertness 359: Chapter 359 Demoness’s Alertness Ye Shikai spoke with righteous indignation, not allowing anyone to question him.

Illusion Fox certainly wasn’t dead, but Ye Shikai did not reveal the truth for Nightmare’s sake.

Illusion Fox was his woman, and during the several confrontations with the Tomb Spirit Organization, Nightmare had been seriously injured but also made great contributions.

Ye Shikai also had personal motives; if he revealed Illusion Fox, SAD would definitely capture her, and Nightmare would desperately protect her.

In the end, the Tomb Spirit Organization would remain unscathed while SAD and Netherworld Palace would end up fighting each other.

Fortunately, their attention was mainly focused on Refining Mo, so there were no doubts about Ye Shikai’s words.

These days, without a doubt, the most relaxed individuals were Nightmare and Illusion Fox, while the others were either exhausting themselves over business matters or were troubled by the Tomb Spirit Organization.

Meanwhile, the two began their honeymoon in Hong Kong.

As the saying goes, a brief separation is better than a new marriage.

After five years apart, the two were finally together again, like a blazing fire meeting dry wood.

The Netherworld Palace’s stronghold in Hong Kong was an elegant villa, not far from the city center.

In this costly area, only the rich lived here.

Although all members of Netherworld Palace stayed here, it now seemed that Nightmare and Illusion Fox were more like the master and mistress of the house, with everyone else just looking on…

Watching the two busily and affectionately cooking breakfast, others sitting by the table showed contempt.

“Look at Nightmare, he seems so indifferent usually, right?

It’s only been a few days, and he’s become practically domesticated.” Everyone gathered together, and Soul Destroyer spoke softly.

“Nonsense, he’s off the market now, unlike someone still dragging their feet,” Zi Yun said with a giggle, then rolled her eyes at Soul Destroyer.

Hearing this, Demoness’s face turned slightly red, showing a rare shy smile.

“Sister Zi Yun, you don’t know, she, when fighting, is even fiercer than me.

What if we ended up together and she ‘dominated’ me?” Soul Destroyer looked embarrassed, pointing at Demoness and whispered into Zi Yun’s ear, his eyes darting around guiltily.

“Eh, what are you talking about?” Demoness felt the oddity between the two and grabbed Soul Destroyer’s ear, lifting him up.

In fact, their relationship had been unusual even before Holy Mountain, something Ye Shikai had noticed long ago.

“Nothing, just saying you… look beautiful, ah, ah, let go,” Soul Destroyer cried out miserably.

The usually icy and strong Demoness only showed her softer side in front of Soul Destroyer.

Actually, the relationship between the two was just like that, only missing that last barrier.

After chatting for a while, Demoness suddenly gestured for everyone to come closer.

“You think she might be trying to numb Nightmare and then assassinate him?” Demoness spoke carefully, wary that the two in the kitchen might overhear.

“No way, I think Illusion Fox treats him quite well, it shouldn’t be an act,” Ailina said doubtfully, finding it hard to believe as she looked at Demoness.

“But think about it, this woman previously injured Refining Mo so severely and almost killed him, how could she change so drastically now?” Demoness shook her head, then glanced at Illusion Fox in the kitchen, who was feeding Nightmare some smoked meat, appearing very affectionate.

“It does sound a bit strange now that you mention it,” Soul Destroyer scratched his head and said.

“Don’t forget, she’s also known as ‘The Woman of a Thousand Faces’.

Maybe she’s using Nightmare to lower his guard and then… assassinate him, maybe even threaten the Netherworld King,” Demoness continued, holding a negative impression of Illusion Fox since that time at the hospital, where, had she not arrived in time, Nightmare would already be dead.

And now, Illusion Fox had transformed into Nightmare’s woman, which made Demoness stay on high alert.

“This…” Everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

After all, such matters couldn’t be stated so definitively, and mistakes could lead to serious trouble.

“What are you all talking about?” At that moment, Nightmare and Illusion Fox came out carrying a pot of porridge, and everyone immediately pretended as if nothing was happening.

“Nothing much, just chatting,” Ailina said with a smile.

“Come, everyone try the porridge I made myself.” Illusion Fox warmly entertained the guests, scooping porridge for them with a soup spoon.

“Thank you.”

“Thank you.”

“Thank you, Sister Illusion Fox.”

…

Everyone took the porridge handed out by Illusion Fox, except for Demoness.

“Um, aren’t you going to have some?” Illusion Fox offered a bowl full of white porridge, but Demoness did not take it for a long time, making her somewhat embarrassed.

Nightmare’s expression also flashed a hint of peculiarity, his face looking somewhat solemn.

“Sorry, I’m used to having a Western-style breakfast.” Demoness said coldly, then picked up a slice of bread, spread some butter on it, and ate it bite by bite.

“Forget it, such a picky eater, give it to me then.” Soul Destroyer spoke up in time, easing the awkward atmosphere, while Nightmare looked at Demoness with a frosty face.

Having lived in Netherworld Palace for so long, how could he not know about Demoness’s living habits?

She was obviously targeting Illusion Fox.

After the meal, everyone stood up and went back to their rooms to rest.

Illusion Fox, like a dutiful wife, voluntarily took on all the housework.

“Wait a minute.” Suddenly, Nightmare halted Demoness.

“What do you want?” Seeing the displeasure on his face, Demoness spoke with a hint of annoyance.

“Why are you targeting her?” Nightmare asked sharply, his gaze aggressive as though he was interrogating her.

“Why are you so fierce?

Why would you say I’m targeting her?” Demoness was also extremely frustrated and retorted.

“Nonsense, don’t I know you?

Demoness, let me tell you, she is my woman, and I won’t allow you to act so cynically towards her.”

“Nightmare, you really are heartless.

Did you ever consider when she tried to assassinate you that you were her man?

If it weren’t for me, you would have been killed by her long ago, do you understand that?” Demoness couldn’t believe that Nightmare would lash out, and she replied heatedly with frustration.

“Lower your voice.” Nightmare turned his head to look in the direction of the kitchen, afraid that Illusion Fox might hear.

“Nightmare, the land may shift but nature doesn’t change; I am just afraid you’re being deceived by her.” Demoness took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, then her face showed grievance as she thumped Nightmare’s chest forcefully, and turned to run upstairs.

Nightmare sighed, turned around, and walked into the kitchen.

Illusion Fox was there washing dishes.

“Take a rest, let the servants handle it.”

“No worries, I’m not tired.” Illusion Fox turned her head, gave Nightmare a slight smile, wiped her hands on her apron, and casually put the cellphone back into her pocket…
