If I didn’t have some skills, it would have been too late by the time he arrived.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even though he thought this, Ye Chen did not voice these thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The matter had passed, and there was no need to speak further on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s nothing, Brother Yan, it was just a Tree Demon, and I have taken care of it,” Ye Chen said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, that’s good, that’s good. I was worried I might be too late and wouldn’t see you, Brother Ye,” Yan Chixia said, scratching his head in embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing him speak like this, Ye Chen really couldn’t help but feel a surge of irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room suddenly became a bit quiet, with an awkward atmosphere as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Yan Chixia suddenly looked at Nie Xiaoqian beside Ye Chen and said, “You little ghost girl, don’t even think about harming my brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Xiaoqian was truly frightened when she saw Yan Chixia, knowing well the power of this bearded man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even her Tree Demon Granny couldn’t defeat him, let alone her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Xiaoqian hurriedly hid behind Ye Chen, not daring to come out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Ye, you must not be deceived by this little ghost girl, lest you regret it. She is a ghost that specializes in draining men’s energy,” Yan Chixia warned, looking at Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen quickly said, “Brother Yan, you’ve misunderstood. Xiaoqian was forced into doing those bad things, it’s not her true intention.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Chixia believed Ye Chen was speaking for Nie Xiaoqian because he was under her spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be fair, Nie Xiaoqian did have some beauty; any man would be attracted to her, so it was normal for Ye Chen to be enchanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Ye, you must not trust her words. How could a ghost have any truth in what she says?” Yan Chixia quickly refuted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he was about to take out a Dharma Artifact to capture Nie Xiaoqian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Yan, wait, I assure you that Nie Xiaoqian is not a ghost that harms the human world,” Ye Chen said with a firm expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Hero Yan, I beg you to spare me. I really won’t harm anyone,” Nie Xiaoqian pleaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Chixia glared angrily at Nie Xiaoqian, “You ghost girl may deceive Brother Ye, but you can’t deceive me. Watch as I capture you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, Brother Yan, listen to me, and you’ll know I’m telling the truth,” Ye Chen hurriedly stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He explained the whole situation and Nie Xiaoqian’s background to Yan Chixia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expression on Yan Chixia’s face softened considerably, and his look toward Nie Xiaoqian changed from hatred and anger to sympathy and pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ye Chen’s account, Nie Xiaoqian seemed to recollect with him as well, and her tears fell like a string of pearls, pitter-pattering down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Ye, so that’s what happened. This little ghost girl has truly had it rough,” Yan Chixia said sympathetically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Brother Yan, I assure you with my honor, Xiaoqian will not harm anyone again,” Ye Chen stated confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Chixia only captured those demonic ghosts who harmed others; as for Nie Xiaoqian, letting her go was no problem at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well then, little ghost girl, I will spare you this time. But if you dare commit wrongdoings and harm the human world, I will surely capture you,” Yan Chixia said with a stern expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Hero Yan, for sparing my life. I promise to conduct myself properly and do no evil,” Nie Xiaoqian also assured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, you may leave now,” Yan Chixia said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Xiaoqian looked at Ye Chen with great reluctance and said, “Thank you, Young Master Ye, for saving my life. In the next life, I am willing to serve you as a horse or cow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen had saved Nie Xiaoqian more than once, and she was deeply grateful in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering giving herself to him, but Ye Chen refused her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a female ghost, she didn’t know how else to repay Ye Chen beyond offering herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen felt truly distressed, as Nie Xiaoqian’s beauty far surpassed that of Su Wanyi and Song Xiaoxiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a great beauty, Ye Chen could only look but could not keep by his side, which would make any man feel uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Nie Xiaoqian had shown interest in following Ye Chen multiple times, but unfortunately, he did not belong to this world and couldn’t take her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“System, can I discuss something with you? Can I take Nie Xiaoqian back?” Ye Chen asked in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The host cannot, unless you receive a reward; otherwise, it is impossible,” the system replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright then,” Ye Chen also felt somewhat helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite Nie Xiaoqian’s merits, she could not be taken back, leaving Ye Chen heartbroken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Nie Xiaoqian showed no sign of leaving and her eyes full of attachment toward Ye Chen,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Chixia hastily said, “This little ghost girl isn’t leaving, does she want me to capture her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Nie Xiaoqian was greatly alarmed, knowing well Hero Yan’s mana and temper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she truly angered him, she would surely suffer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hero Yan, I am leaving, I am leaving right now,” she turned to Ye Chen and said, “Young Master Ye, I am leaving, hope we meet again if fate allows.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After she finished speaking, she disappeared like a wisp of smoke from the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen also wore an expression of lingering reluctance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Ye, this ghost girl specializes in beguiling men’s minds. If you encounter her again, you must be cautious,” Yan Chixia kindly advised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for the reminder, I surely will. Well, I should be on my way too; Brother Yan, until we meet again,” Ye Chen said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said this out of courtesy, knowing that, being from different worlds, the two people couldn’t possibly meet again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Ye Chen was about to turn and leave, suddenly the system’s prompt sounded in his mind, filling him with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>",1306,"2026-06-03T08:13:10.846Z","2026-06-03T08:13:15.311Z",1,"novelbin.me","f661f0d9f7ab7e0b34279efe0cfcaced25214ee5f092bdb5291de5f7ddb6893d","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-1170","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-1168",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
