The Playboy Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO-Chapter 927 - 829: Eliza’s Hesitation (Third Update)

Saint Mo had gone far away, and Eliza gazed at Yang Tian's soul, uncertain of what she was thinking. With a wave of her hand, the Demon Grinding Law suppressing Yang Tian's soul dispersed. She operated her Divine Sense, guiding Yang Tian's soul back to his body. After completing all this, she sat silently in front of Yang Tian, watching him.

No one knew how much time had passed. Eliza grew tired and fell asleep on a stone in front of Yang Tian.

All around was deathly silent.

When Yang Tian opened his eyes, it was already the next day. He instinctively reached for the Holy Sword at his waist. After gripping the sword, he looked around and quickly saw Eliza asleep in front of him.

He stood up and took in the surroundings; it was still the tranquil forest.

Perhaps it was because, after the Demon Beast's death, its blood stained the earth, other beasts dared not come near, and the place was extraordinarily quiet.

Yang Tian operated his Divine Sense to probe, ensuring the surroundings were safe before looking at Eliza's sleeping face. One could only imagine what Eliza was experiencing in her dreams, as she appeared quite troubled. Her hands were tightly clenched, her brows furrowed, and her expression mingled reluctance, aloofness, and coldness.

"What happened just now? Why did I fall unconscious?"

Yang Tian recalled the events before losing consciousness but found his mind in disarray, only remembering that he had reached a peak with Eliza before losing the ability to react.

He shook his head and shook Eliza awake: "Eliza, wake up..."

Eliza opened her eyes and looked at Yang Tian: "Yang Tian, you're awake?"

"What happened just now?"

Yang Tian asked.

Eliza was very calm: "When our souls reached a peak, your soul flew towards Paradise. I kept shouting, and eventually, you fell from the sky, straight into unconsciousness."

Yang Tian thought for a moment, feeling Eliza's explanation was very reasonable.

After all, before passing out, his soul indeed flew towards the sky, and indeed, it was at the peak of the soul.

He nodded and helped Eliza up: "Eliza, we should find a way to return to the Demon Realm. I'm worried something might happen to Yueyue and the others!"

"Hmm."

Eliza said no more, sitting there. Initially, she discussed with Yang Tian how to return to the Demon Realm, but gradually, she fell silent, staring blankly ahead, her thoughts unknown.

At first, Yang Tian didn't think much of it, but gradually, he felt something was amiss.

How could Eliza seem like a different person after just one sleep?

Recalling Eliza's expression of struggle while asleep, Yang Tian couldn't help but ask: "Eliza, what's wrong?"

Eliza raised her head to look at Yang Tian. In those beautiful eyes lay an indelible sadness, and there was a trace of unspoken words on her perfect face, as if she had something to tell Yang Tian. But in the end, she softly sighed and said: "Yang Tian, in your heart, Wu Yue still occupies a very important place..."

Hearing Eliza, Yang Tian couldn't help but smile. He embraced Eliza: "Is it because of Yueyue that you're unhappy? Rest assured, with me here, you two won't fight! You both hold the same place in my heart. If I lose either of you, I'd be devastated. So, Eliza, please promise me to let go of the grudge with Yueyue, if only for my sake!"

"Hmm."

Eliza nodded.

She quietly leaned against Yang Tian's embrace, though Yang Tian was unaware that her sorrow was not due to Wu Yue, but due to whether or not to kill Yang Tian.

She had already wronged Yang Tian once.

Had it not been for Yang Tian's Dragon Vein being the Bone Vein of the Immortal Realm's Dragon King, Saint Mo would have already refined Yang Tian.

Saint Mo's plan was to refine a Demon Array using the souls of ten billion Martial Artists, then seize the Dragon Vein within Yang Tian. Following that, Eliza would have to wrong Yang Tian again.

For some reason, her heart had gained a bit of reluctance.

A day ago, when Saint Mo was refining Yang Tian, Eliza could be cold and resolute, but if it really happened again, she wasn't sure if she could remain as resolute.

For a moment, her heart was troubled.

"Yang Tian, why don't we not go back, and instead find a place on another planet in the Milky Way suitable for us to cultivate, and then ascend to the Immortal Realm," Eliza suddenly said: "What does returning achieve? Isn't it just a certain death?"

Upon hearing Eliza's words, Yang Tian frowned: "Eliza, how can you think like this? On Earth, we have our home and our family. If Saint Mo really regains peak status, won't all our loved ones die? Aren't you sad?"

"That's their business!" Eliza turned slightly cold: "They'll spend their entire lives unable to surpass life's limits. Whether they die sooner or later, they'll die all the same. Honestly, in my heart, you might be the one I care most about. Going back to the Demon Realm, something will definitely happen, so we might as well stay here to cultivate! Believe me, in less than a hundred years, we can ascend to the Immortal Realm!"

Yang Tian's eyes showed some displeasure: "Eliza, one cannot be too heartless! On Earth, we have our family. Even if we ascend to the Immortal Realm, we can take them with us!"

Eliza didn't bother to argue with Yang Tian further, but thinking about Saint Mo's plan, she sighed quietly: "Yang Tian, do you really want to go back?"

Yang Tian tightly held Eliza's shoulders, looking intensely into her eyes, seriously saying: "Eliza, I want you to firmly believe one point: no matter the realm you find yourself in, you can't be too heartless! If even emotions can be discarded, what significance do we have for existing? Just for the pursuit of supreme Mana?"

Eliza remained silent, then suddenly said: "Yang Tian, do you know what your Dragon Vein is?"

"Eliza, what do you know?"

Yang Tian asked, puzzled.

"While you were unconscious, your Dragon Vein emerged and transformed into a dragon, exhibiting the Immortal Realm aura. If I'm not mistaken, your Dragon Vein is the Bone Vein of an Immortal Realm Dragon King!" Eliza gazed intently at Yang Tian: "With your Dragon Vein, we can ascend to the Immortal Realm, it just takes time!"

Yang Tian shook his head: "How could my Dragon Vein possibly be that of an Immortal Realm Dragon King? Eliza, I know you don't want to return to the Demon Realm, but I must return. If you don't want to go back, then go cultivate yourself!"

Eliza looked earnestly at Yang Tian, finally sighed quietly: "Hmm, then let's return as soon as possible, only..."

She wanted to say something but ultimately said nothing.

Yang Tian hugged Eliza: "I know it's because of Yueyue that you don't want to go back, but I can assure you, in my heart, you both hold the same place! I love Yueyue, and I love you too!"

"Thank you for your love..."

Eliza whispered, but her eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness, eventually becoming resolute: Since you're determined to go back, I'll have to proceed according to Saint Mo's plan...
