The Playboy Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO-Chapter 939 - 841: Chen Xiaoli’s True Identity (Third Update)

Yang Tian was staring intently at Chen Xiaoli.

Although he knew Chen Xiaoli meant no harm, she was too mysterious. The Jade Pendant she presented was imbued with powerful energy not characteristic of the Human Realm. He was unsure of the impact it would have if worn by an infant.

Chen Xiaoli's dark eyes quietly gazed at Yang Tian: "Does my identity really matter so much?"

"You don't have to answer my question, but you should take back this Jade Pendant," Yang Tian said seriously. "Ming Yuan is my child, and the energy within this Jade Pendant is extremely strange. I don't want him wearing it."

"Yang, aren't you overreacting? Li is from the Chen Family..."

Ling Ying quickly interjected.

Yet, Yang Tian's attitude was resolute. He removed the Jade Pendant from the infant's neck and handed it to Chen Xiaoli.

This time, Wu Yue, Wu Zetian, and Eliza chose silence.

After all, Chen Xiaoli was too mysterious. Though she could have helped Yang Tian against Saint Mo, she had remained a mere observer, leaving them uneasy. Who knows what significant events might occur next?

Chen Xiaoli was exceptionally calm.

It was as if, in her eyes, Yang Tian returning the Jade Pendant was perfectly reasonable.

She gave Yang Tian a serious look and said, "Big brother, you'll soon know who I am. But don't worry, I'm here with no hostility towards you."

Upon hearing Chen Xiaoli's words, Yang Tian suddenly asked, "So you mean you're not Chen Xiaoli?"

"Hmm."

This time, Chen Xiaoli nodded.

"Then where is Chen Xiaoli?"

Yang Tian instinctively asked.

After all, Chen Xiaoli was his cousin. Even though Chen Xiaoli's father had died, she remained a descendant of the Chen Family!

"Actually, Chen Xiaoli is already dead. When her mother attacked her and Chen Xiaomei, Chen Xiaoli sacrificed herself to save Chen Xiaomei."

Chen Xiaoli explained blandly, as if describing something unrelated to her.

"Chen Xiaoli is dead?"

Yang Tian was shocked. He recalled the time Chen Xiaoli and Chen Xiaomei were captured by their mother, Huang Qian. While Chen Xiaomei was unharmed, Chen Xiaoli had fallen into a coma. Back then, Yang Tian used the Demon Tree to recreate Chen Xiaoli. Is it possible that Chen Xiaoli had already died then, and the girl before him entered her body through the Demon Tree?

If that's the case, it explains why Chen Xiaoli seemed like a different person after that resurrection.

Who exactly is the one occupying Chen Xiaoli's body?

"Li, are you saying you entered Li's body through the Demon Tree?"

Wu Zetian, being the soul of the Demon Tree, knew well how mysterious it was, with thousands of souls sealed within. If Chen Xiaoli's soul was sealed by the Demon Tree, then the girl in front of them was a terrifying existence, potentially a Demon.

"My soul did indeed enter Li's body through the Demon Tree, but I'm not as terrifying as you think. I'm just an ordinary person."

Chen Xiaoli spread her palms, indicating her innocence.

Wu Zetian remained silent, glancing at Yang Tian.

Yang Tian understood Wu Zetian's implication and said to Ling Ying, "Yingying, take Eliza inside to rest now."

"Alright."

Ling Ying sensed something was off, picked up the infant, and led Eliza inside the Chen Family Mansion, while Wu Yue looked at Chen Xiaoli and said, "Since Li doesn't wish to tell us, we shouldn't press further. Yang Tian, I'll be leaving for a few days to visit the East Sea. I miss my three roommates!"

With that, Wu Yue began packing her luggage and flew back to the East Sea that evening to search for Wang Ying, Liu Shi, and Guo Jing.

Yang Tian and Wu Zetian stayed with Chen Xiaoli, watching her return to her room, cuddling a panda plush, and playing Honor of Kings on her phone. For a moment, the two didn't know what to ask, exchanged a glance, and then returned to their rooms to rest.

Their return had once again enlivened the Chen Family.

That evening, Chen Ming sent invitations to major families in the Capital City, inviting them to the party the next evening.

As night deepened, the lively Chen Family descended into tranquility.

At this moment, Chen Xiaoli put down her phone and sat up. She approached the window, gazed outside, and murmured, "It's here..."

Almost simultaneously, Yang Tian opened his eyes and sat up.

He sensed an unusual energy.

This energy wasn't the Spiritual Breath of the Human Realm, the Demon Breath of the Demon Realm, or the Immortal Aura of the Immortal Realm. It was a distinct energy fluctuation, akin to the aura within the Jade Pendant Chen Xiaoli gave to Yang Mingyuan.

Yang Tian used his Divine Sense to probe toward Chen Xiaoli, finding her quietly standing outside the window, her demeanor calm.

Which suggested that the energy wasn't emanating from Chen Xiaoli.

"Strange, if it's not Li's aura, whose energy is it? Could it be that Li's kindred have come?"

At this thought, a sharp gleam flashed in Yang Tian's eyes.

He had always believed Chen Xiaoli wasn't ordinary, certainly not from the Human Realm. Now it seemed, she indeed was an enigmatic existence.

At that moment, Chen Xiaoli suddenly flew out from the window toward the park behind the Chen Family Mansion.

Whether intentional or accidental, she made a deliberate sound at the window as she flew out, seemingly to draw Yang Tian's attention.

Yang Tian didn't hesitate much. In a flash, he was outside.

Following Chen Xiaoli, he quickly arrived at the Chen Family park.

This park was vast, as large as ten football fields.

Chen Xiaoli flew over the Central Spirit Lake and landed in the forest opposite. At that moment, the moon hung in the sky, reflecting on the lake, casting a silvery glow. Yang Tian didn't fly over but stood opposite the lake, using his Divine Sense to scout toward Chen Xiaoli. Soon, his expression darkened: "A demon!"

Indeed, a Demon Beast lay across the lake.

This Demon Beast was a spider, roughly half the size of a person, its black eyes fixed on Chen Xiaoli with concern. Yang Tian focused his gaze, noting a glaring wound on the spider's abdomen, oozing greenish-blue blood.

Chen Xiaoli approached and with a wave of her little hand, the wound on the spider's abdomen healed.

Yang Tian frowned: "What's happening? Could it be Li knows this spider?"

"Big brother, come over. This is my subordinate, she came from the Demon Realm to find me," Chen Xiaoli's voice suddenly resonated: "Though you should be cautious, some demons from the Demon Realm are pursuing me, and we're in danger."

"Demon Realm? Li, are you saying you're a being from the Demon Realm?"

Yang Tian was astonished...
