The Playboy Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 574 - 475: Heaven-defying Scripture (First Update, 3000 Words)

The next morning, Yang Tian brought back a pot of stream water from the creek.

At this moment, Wu Zetian was sitting quietly there.

"Shiniang, here's the water. We need to hurry back."

Yang Tian said.

But Wu Zetian did not take the stream water Yang Tian handed her. She looked up, gazed at Yang Tian silently, and for some reason, a hint of conflict flickered in her eyes.

Last night,

Yang Tian was training by the creek, unaware that Wu Zetian was resolving the heat within her body inside the cave.

In that instant, who appeared in Wu Zetian's mind was not Emperor Gaozong.

But Yang Tian.

Indeed, last night, when Wu Zetian reached out to touch herself, waves of pleasure surged through her heart, and the handsome face of Yang Tian appeared in her mind.

For thousands of years, only one man had touched her.

That man was not Emperor Gaozong, but Yang Tian.

In her previous life, Wu Zetian wielded power over the court; she had many men.

But after the cleansing and shaping by the Soul Imperial Spring, Wu Zetian's body became incredibly pure.

For the past thousand years, even Emperor Gaozong was unable to touch her body.

On her, there was a divine aura.

No one could look directly at her face, let alone get close to her.

But Yang Tian not only could see her unparalleled beauty but could also touch her body.

Originally, after Emperor Gaozong's heavenly demise, she swore to keep a living widowhood for him, but she had desires, especially when the heat in her body broke out in the dead of night, she, while resolving herself, thought of Yang Tian.

"Shiniang, what are you thinking about?"

Yang Tian asked again.

"Nothing..."

Wu Zetian stood up and took the pot of stream water from Yang Tian's hand.

For some reason, when her fingers touched Yang Tian's palm, her heart skipped a beat as a sensation like electricity flowed toward her heart.

Splash!

Wu Zetian's hand was unsteady, and the pot of stream water fell to the ground, shattering.

"Shiniang, what's wrong?"

Yang Tian frowned.

He gazed at Wu Zetian's stunning face and noticed a hint of blush which made him frown: "Shiniang, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No... nothing..."

Wu Zetian shook her head.

Yang Tian grabbed Wu Zetian's wrist with a snap, channeling his Divine Sense to probe inside her, finding nothing strange, he released Wu Zetian's wrist: "There seems to be nothing wrong, Shiniang, let's go back quickly. I'm worried if you stay here, there might be issue, after all, you are a daughter of heaven, you should live in the imperial palace, not in the wild mountains and forests!"

Upon hearing Yang Tian's words, Wu Zetian was originally somewhat tense, but now, she couldn't help but say: "Is it because I'm an emperor that you think I'm unattainable?"

Saying this, Wu Zetian regretted.

These words came out subconsciously.

But after saying them, Wu Zetian felt a bit of regret.

"Shiniang, what did you say?"

A glint of confusion flashed in Yang Tian's eyes.

"Nothing!" Wu Zetian shook her head: "Let's return now!"

"Alright!"

Immediately, Yang Tian and Wu Zetian flew toward the forest's edge.

On the way back, Wu Zetian gazed at the beautiful rivers and mountains below, and once again thought of Emperor Gaozong.

This entire realm belonged to Emperor Gaozong.

And she was born to assist Emperor Gaozong.

Thinking this, Wu Zetian felt a pang of guilt, silently vowing never to have any improper thoughts about Yang Tian in the future.

Last night, when Wu Zetian was resolving her needs, it was Yang Tian who appeared in her mind.

She silently decided never to let such a thing happen to her again!

Soon, the two returned to Celestial Pearl Peak.

"Li Xian and the others have already returned!"

Yang Tian used his Divine Sense to probe and then said.

"Let's go directly back to the imperial palace!"

Wu Zetian said.

"Alright."

Yang Tian nodded, about to fly toward the imperial palace, but at this moment, an excited voice came from the nearby forest: "Your Majesty, Yang Tian, is it you?"

"President Wu!"

Yang Tian and Wu Zetian looked back, seeing Wu Yue.

"Wu Yue, why are you here?"

Wu Zetian frowned.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I am looking for my grandfather, he inexplicably came here two days ago, and I followed him here." Wu Yue quickly said.

"Your grandfather Wu Daba?"

Yang Tian's eyes were puzzled.

This Wu Daba was attracted to the Great Tang world by Wu Tiandu, who brought Wu Daba over intending to open the Celestial Demon channel and let the Celestial Demons flood in.

Later, Wu Tiandu was sealed by Emperor Gaozong, and Wu Daba's whereabouts became unknown.

Now hearing Wu Yue mention her grandfather was here, Yang Tian asked, "President Wu, is your grandfather okay?"

"Not at all! He's not clear-minded, often babbling, and I don't know why he came here! I'm worried something might happen to him, so I followed him. By the way, why are you also here?"

Wu Yue asked in confusion.

"We are here to eliminate the Celestial Demon Soul!"

Wu Zetian said.

"There's a Celestial Demon Soul here?" Wu Yue's face changed: "Could my grandfather have come here because of the Celestial Demon Soul?"

Hearing Wu Yue's words, Yang Tian's expression turned silent.

And Wu Zetian said with a grim coldness: "This Wu Daba almost let the Celestial Demons flood in, he shouldn't have entered the Great Tang world at all!"

Wu Yue's face turned pale.

"Mistress, don't say anything yet, let's go see Wu Daba first!"

Yang Tian said.

"My grandfather is over there, please follow me..."

Wu Yue also realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly led Yang Tian and Wu Zetian forward.

Soon, the three of them arrived in front of a cave.

Bang bang bang!

Just as they reached the cave, they heard a series of tapping sounds from inside.

Yang Tian went in and saw Wu Daba crouching beside the stone wall, tapping away as if he were carving something.

"Grandpa, Yang Tian is here..."

Wu Yue said.

But Wu Daba had no reaction and continued tapping on the stone wall.

"Wu Daba, what are you doing?"

Wu Zetian shouted coldly.

A strong Spiritual Breath surged from Wu Zetian and pressed fiercely on Wu Daba.

Bang!

Wu Daba was sent flying, but to everyone's surprise, he got up without a word and continued carving on the stone wall.

Yang Tian gazed at the stone wall.

He saw that Wu Daba was carving a strange pattern.

The pattern depicted mountains, rivers, forests, flowers, and plants, but at the very top, there was a moon shimmering blood-red, clearly marked with Wu Daba's own blood.

Everything about it seemed eerie.

"What is this pattern?"

Wu Zetian's face turned cold.

"Grandpa, the Emperor has arrived, aren't you going to explain what this pattern is?"

Wu Yue asked anxiously.

But Wu Daba didn't even glance at the three, continuing his carving.

For some reason, Yang Tian found Wu Daba's behavior strange. After being slammed by Wu Zetian's Spirit Breath, there was not a scratch on him. This aroused Yang Tian's curiosity, and when he probed Wu Daba with his Divine Sense, he sensed a faint, elusive presence.

"Wu Daba, you were gone for a few days, but why do you now have Spiritual Breath?"

Yang Tian asked solemnly.

"Yang Tian, what are you saying? My grandfather has Spiritual Breath?"

Wu Yue immediately asked.

Next to him, Wu Zetian also used her Divine Sense to probe Wu Daba and indeed sensed a faint and elusive Spiritual Breath. Her face darkened: "This must be investigated thoroughly! After all, when he entered, he was just an ordinary person!"

With that, Wu Zetian pressed her hand down.

A massive Spirit Breath Seal pressed onto Wu Daba.

Rumble!

A booming sound erupted, and Wu Daba's clothes were blasted to shreds, revealing his withered frame.

But on Wu Daba's body were inscribed lines of text.

"This is the Heaven-Defying Scripture!" Wu Zetian immediately recognized the writing on Wu Daba: "Wasn't the Heaven-Defying Scripture lost? How did it appear on him? Dammit!"

Wu Zetian's intent to kill intensified.

She was about to strike Wu Daba's head with her palm.

"Your Majesty, spare him!" Wu Yue pleaded anxiously: "There is much strangeness about my grandfather, none of which he chose. Please, Your Majesty, see the truth!"

"The Heaven-Defying Scripture is a secret skill of the palace. For hundreds of years, no one could practice it without royal consent! It disappeared three hundred years ago, and now it's on him; naturally, I must execute him!"

Wu Zetian's face was cold, without any compassion. She raised her palm to strike.

"Mistress, stop!"

Yang Tian waved his hand, and the Holy Sword flew up.

Bam!

Wu Zetian's palm struck the Holy Sword, and a surge of Spirit Breath exploded.

Wu Zetian glared coldly at Yang Tian: "Yang Tian, do you dare defy my will?"

"Mistress, let's first figure this out."

Yang Tian quickly said.

Although there was much strange about Wu Daba, he was still Wu Yue's grandfather, and Yang Tian was Wu Yue's temporary boyfriend. If Wu Zetian killed Wu Daba, Yang Tian wouldn't be able to live with his conscience.

"Hmph, is there even a need to investigate?" Wu Zetian sneered: "Those not of the Great Tang must have different hearts. This Wu Daba entered the Great Tang world with ulterior motives. If I don't kill him, how can I face the deceased emperor? Moreover, you all are outsiders in the Great Tang world and have no right to interfere with my will!"

A regal aura emanated from Wu Zetian.

To her, everyone seemed insignificant.

This displeased Yang Tian, but since Wu Zetian was his mistress, he said solemnly, "Mistress, rest assured, if Wu Daba truly stole the palace's Heaven-Defying Scripture, I will be the first to kill him. But if you act without a thorough investigation, forgive your student for his disrespect!"

"Really? Yang Tian, you wish to defy my will?"

Wu Zetian looked coldly at Yang Tian.

Yet Yang Tian met Wu Zetian's gaze without flinching. He stood there, his face ice cold: "I simply wish to investigate clearly."

Wu Zetian stared coldly at Yang Tian. Recalling that Yang Tian saved her life yesterday, and considering that Yang Tian practiced the Power Seal, she realized that causing a rift with him would not benefit the Great Tang.

Most importantly, at this moment, she remembered the passion Yang Tian invoked in her long-dormant heart that fateful night.

For some reason, a sense of tenderness arose within her.

She nodded: "Then fine, investigate now."

Yang Tian walked towards Wu Daba, channeling his Spiritual Breath towards him.

In an instant, the Merit Certificate on Wu Daba started to burn.

Seeing this, Wu Zetian's face changed slightly: "Wait, this isn't the Heaven-Defying Scripture. The Heaven-Defying Scripture can't be burned!"

"Not the Heaven-Defying Scripture? Then what is it?"

Wu Yue's expression also changed.

At this time, Yang Tian applied the Power Seal on Wu Daba. After a while, his face turned grave as he said, "The Spiritual Breath on Wu Daba doesn't belong to him!"

"Not his? Then whose is it?"

Wu Yue instinctively asked.

Yang Tian was silent for a moment, then suddenly said coldly to Wu Daba, "Since you're here, come out now!"
