The Playboy Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 720 - 622: Chen Xiaoli

"Soul Reaper?"

Yang Tian became interested.

He couldn't help but carefully examine Chen Xiaoli.

This little girl was only about seven years old, at the age of utmost innocence, yet her small face was filled with resilience.

The death of her sister and her father's imprisonment left a heavy mark on her soul.

Though at this moment, Chen Xiaoli had not yet awakened.

But the demonic poison within her continued to be cleared, the originally dark purple complexion gradually returning to a healthy flush.

From the outside, she looked like an adorable little girl.

"Shiniang, what is a Soul Reaper?"

Wu Yue asked.

"The Soul Reaper is an ancient being beneath the Demon Tree, absorbing the Demon Breath year-round, growing alongside the Demon Tree." Wu Zetian, the soul of the Demon Tree, knew the details well: "After it cultivated into form, it went into the Demon Tree for a spiritual slumber. Thousands of years later, a stray cat came beneath the tree."

"So, the Soul Reaper began absorbing the Demon Breath before the Demon Cat? Then the Soul Reaper must be more terrifying than the Demon Cat!"

Not foolish, Wu Yue immediately grasped the situation.

"Correct. Thousands of years later, this stray cat also absorbed the sun and moon essence from the Demon Tree, endured nine calamities, and became a terrifying Demon Cat. Moreover, the Demon Cat spawned a horde of frightening demon kittens, aiming to rule the whole Demonic Realm. At that time, even the Four Great Demon Races were no match for it."

"Under such circumstances, the Demonic Realm was desolate, littered with corpses."

"Later, the Soul Reaper emerged from the Demon Tree, delivering a devastating blow to the Demon Cat. Overnight, only the mother cat was left. Feeling pity, the Soul Reaper took her in, and the two roamed the universe, cultivating together."

Wu Zetian spoke carefully.

Upon hearing Wu Zetian's words, Wu Yue and Ling Ying were both shocked.

But soon, they wondered if Chen Xiaoli, as a Soul Reaper, could counteract the Demon Cat?

After all, the Demon Cat was elusive, with nine lives.

If it kept absorbing blood, it would surely become stronger, posing a formidable threat.

But now, with Chen Xiaoli as a Soul Reaper, even the strongest Demon Cat would be no match for the Soul Reaper.

"Li, wake up soon, elder sister has grown fond of you..."

Wu Yue held Chen Xiaoli, wiping the residual corpse blood from her face.

However, Chen Xiaoli began to tremble all over, her small hands struggling incessantly. Her calm demeanor was replaced by pain, tightly biting her lips, with blood seeping out.

"Yang, what's going on?"

Ling Ying instinctively asked.

Yang Tian's eyes showed a trace of doubt as he used his Divine Sense to probe Chen Xiaoli's body.

Soon, he nervously said, "The demonic poison in Li's body has been cleared, but her blood is boiling. Evidently, she can't control her blood because there's a powerful Demon Breath within!"

"It's indeed the Soul Reaper's Demon Breath!"

Wu Zetian declared.

"The Soul Reaper is so terrifying; such a vast Demon Breath suddenly awakening within Li, how could she possibly control it completely?"

Wu Yue expressed concern.

"What can we do? If this continues, Li might explode and die!"

Ling Ying anxiously said.

"Yang Tian, drop your blood on her. You are the master of the Demon Tree; your blood can calm the Demon Breath within Li. After all, the Soul Reaper cultivated inside the Demon Tree for thousands of years!"

Wu Zetian promptly advised.

"Okay."

Yang Tian nodded slightly.

Wu Zetian, being the soul of the Demon Tree, naturally understood everything better than he did.

Thus, he bit his finger, letting a line of blood drip out.

The blood touched Chen Xiaoli's forehead, and instantly a hot mist quickly steamed out.

A red dot appeared on Chen Xiaoli's forehead.

Yang Tian straightforwardly pressed his finger on the red dot on Chen Xiaoli's forehead; soon he felt a suction force emerging from her body, constantly absorbing his blood.

Gradually, Chen Xiaoli's expression became less pained.

At that moment, a Demon Breath pushed Yang Tian's finger away, and the red dot on Chen Xiaoli's forehead quickly solidified.

"The Demon Breath in her body has calmed!"

Yang Tian used his Divine Sense to probe the condition inside Chen Xiaoli.

Quickly, he sensed Chen Xiaoli's soul was awakened, and it was controlling the vast Demon Breath within her.

Initially, Chen Xiaoli was a bit inexperienced.

But gradually, she became increasingly proficient.

By the time she opened her eyes, the vast Demon Breath in her body had been sealed within her Dantian.

"Li, are you awake?"

Wu Yue gently asked.

"Yes, I am awake."

Chen Xiaoli first glanced at Wu Yue, then her gaze fell on Yang Tian. She approached and opened her arms without saying anything.

Yang Tian's eyes were filled with doubt.

"Yang Tian, your blood allowed her to control the Demon Breath inside her. It's a pact, making her feel close to you, thinking of you as the person she trusts the most!"

Wu Zetian laughed.

"Is that so?"

Yang Tian quickly picked up Chen Xiaoli.

Chen Xiaoli rubbed her little face against Yang Tian's cheek, then quietly leaned into Yang Tian's embrace. However, the red dot on her forehead continuously emitted a blood-red light.

Feeling this light, Wu Zetian's eyes flashed with shock: "This light feels familiar; could it be Demon Light?"

"Demon Light?"

Wu Yue and Ling Ying asked in confusion.

"Demon Light is the light of the Demon Tree's master!" Wu Zetian glanced at Yang Tian and said: "Before Yang Tian, the master of the Demon Tree was a powerful being who created the Demon Tree. He planted a seed in the void, and after tens of thousands of years, it grew into the Demon Tree. This powerful being is likely the founder of the Demon Realm! However, he vanished without a trace after planting the Demon Tree."

"Then what about this Demon Light?"

Yang Tian used his Divine Sense to probe inside Chen Xiaoli, unable to sense the presence of Demon Light anymore.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Soul Reaper cultivated inside the Demon Tree for thousands of years and absorbed the Demon Light of the tree's creator."

Wu Zetian said.

Everyone couldn't help but take a serious look at Chen Xiaoli upon hearing Wu Zetian's words.

At some point, Chen Xiaoli had already fallen asleep in Yang Tian's arms, her little face full of peace.

"Mistress, what kind of terrifying being is the creator of the Demon Tree?"

Wu Yue asked.

"The creator of the Demon Tree is said to have come down from the Immortal Realm. Perhaps no being in the entire universe can resist him! He came to the universe and could open heaven and earth, creating many Star Realms. The Demon Realm is also his creation, so naturally, any being in the Demon Realm is under his control. If he wants them to die, they must die, and if he wants them to live, even if they are dead, they can be resurrected! This is the Divine Spirit from the Immortal Realm!"

Wu Zetian said.

"Divine Spirit from the Immortal Realm?"

For some reason, Yang Tian thought of the Witch.

The Witch had broken through to the Immortal Realm half a year ago. He wondered how she was doing?

The Chen Xiaoli in his arms suddenly opened her eyes and quietly said, "Big Brother, let's go back. I miss my elder sister..."

Chen Xiaoli's elder sister is Chen Hong.

"Li, you still have us in the future!"

Yang Tian consoled her.

"Hmm, Big Brother, I'll always follow you."

Chen Xiaoli said quietly.

Yang Tian looked at Chen Xiaoli's peaceful little face, waved his hand, and led everyone out of the village, returning to the Chen Family estate before dawn.

"Tian, you're back? How is it? Was the Corpse Demon's lair destroyed?"

The Chen Family had been on high alert, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Yang Tian and the others return safely.

"We destroyed the Corpse Demon's lair in the Huaxia Nation." Yang Tian paused for a moment, then asked: "Where is Chen Hong's body?"

"In the cold storage."

"Take us there."

"Alright, this way please!"

Although Chen Shangzheng was very puzzled, he still led Yang Tian and the others to the cold storage.

Chen Hong's body lay there quietly.

But upon seeing Chen Hong's body, Yang Tian was shocked. He reached out to grasp Chen Hong's wrist, his face full of confusion.

"Yang Tian, what's wrong?"

Wu Yue noticed Yang Tian's anomaly.

Yang Tian was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "If I'm not mistaken, Chen Hong is not dead."

"Chen Hong isn't dead?"

Everyone around exclaimed in shock.

Chen Shangzheng instinctively said, "Tian, don't joke around. We all saw Chen Hong die, the body is stiff, how could she not be dead? In broad daylight, don't scare us!"

Yang Tian said nothing but pressed his Spiritual Breath into Chen Hong's body.

Cough!

Suddenly, Chen Hong started coughing.

"What's going on?" Chen Shangzheng's face changed drastically: "My goodness, she really isn't dead! But what is this all about?"

"If I'm not wrong, she has been resurrected!" Yang Tian said and looked at Chen Xiaoli in his arms: "Li, did you resurrect her?"

Everyone instinctively looked at Chen Xiaoli.

Even Wu Yue, Ling Ying, and Wu Zetian were gazing intently at Chen Xiaoli.

"Big Brother, I was the one who resurrected my sister."

Chen Xiaoli said quietly.

"My goodness, Li, you resurrected Chen Hong? When did you gain this ability? What on earth happened?"

Chen Shangzheng instinctively asked.

Everyone felt shocked and puzzled.

At this moment, Wu Zetian suddenly said tightly: "Li, you were able to revive the deceased Chen Hong who was infected by Demon Poison and became part of the Demon Realm, does this mean you are the legendary creator of the Demon Realm with the Divine Spirit power over life and death there?"

Wu Yue and Ling Ying's faces were shocked, instinctively looking at Chen Xiaoli in Yang Tian's arms...
