Beauty and the Bodyguard

“I’m sorry. I couldn’t hold back my strength...” Goudan apologized, feeling bad after he broke his leg. “I was already trying to be careful, so I wouldn’t kill you, but I didn’t think your leg would be this fragile... I broke it by accident...”

“What?!” Yangyang didn’t understand what was going on- this was ‘holding back’?! Was he trying not to kill him? Did this mean that the guy was even stronger than what he saw right now? It would only take a snap of his finger to have him killed?!

What the hell did these Xiaos piss off? This man was a monster! It didn’t matter for now whether he was holding back or if he was boasting. The fact was that he was much stronger than Yangyang!

After all, if it were Yangyang himself fighting the same level fighter, he wouldn’t have a guarantee of hurting him if he were focusing on defense! The two would be at a draw!!

So Yangyang was stunned to the core- this place was filled with hiding dragons and tigers. This random kid just came and beat him up!!

“It’s okay, you’re Mystic late phase peak, right? My boss said that this level of practitioner has self-healing abilities, so if you lie down a few days, it’ll be fine!” Goudan consoled. “Don’t worry! But you can’t blame me. I came here to look for a lion, but you came up and said you were itching, forcing me to beat you up! Man, the world is quite interesting!”

Yangyang didn’t even have time to spit out blood as he fainted- he’d never been so humiliated in his entire life, but what could he do? He was way weaker than Goudan!!

Xiao Ji and Huli were shocked and stunned- what the hell was this guy? Even a Mystic, late phase peak, couldn’t handle him, could he be an Earth class? Xiao Ji’s legs went weak right away!

House Xiao had just gotten strong, and now this monster came in to cause trouble! Xiao Ji was raging and panicking as he sent a slap to Huli. “You damn bitch! Look what the hell you’ve done, lion, lion, lion, now look! Look at what you’ve done. That damned lion bit someone he shouldn’t have!!”

Huli was completely shocked and shaking, not even reacting to the slap- she only lowered her head and covered her face, feeling helpless. It was a housekeeper. What the hell was this housekeeper doing with a guy who was able to beat down Mystic late phase peaks?? Why was she a housekeeper?! Just get this guy to ask the noble houses for some protection money, they’d all pay up! Even House Yu would be respecting him! Great, this housekeeper decided just to be a housekeeper, and now she was in deep shit!!

“Mister Warrior... Have mercy... How much money do you want, we’ll give it to you, just let us go!” Xiao Ji was a typical type of person. He submitted to the strong, and here was someone who was the definition of strong- even Hidden House Pi masters couldn’t fight him. Of course, he’d start begging!

“Yes, It’s my fault! This is what you wanted, right. I’ll take responsibility! I’ll apologize for my lion!” With that, Huli started slapping herself loudly.

“Shouldn’t you have done that earlier instead of wasting my time?” Goudan thought that his boss was right- in front of true power, bad people were just jokers! He hmphed. “Where’s the lion? Get the lion out, I’ll kill it in one hit, and that’ll be it!”

“I...” Huli didn’t doubt that he’d be able to one hit the lion- even someone like Pi Yangyang was taken down with ease, let alone a lion! But the lion wasn’t here! “Mister Warrior, the lion isn’t in the villa anymore. It left...”

“Left? Did you sponsor its getaway after you realized he messed up?” Goudan glared.

“Wha?!” Hili froze- why the hell would she be sponsoring a lion to run away? But she didn’t say that out loud- she didn’t want to die from a slap from this monster! She smiled bitterly, “Mister Warrior, that lion ran on its own. It wasn’t us...”

“Dear Mister Warrior, if you’re looking for the warrior, I’ll tell you where to find it!” Xiao Ben walked out slowly after hiding the whole time- he felt cold shivers all over his body when he saw Goudan’s strength. House Xiao really was in trouble now, getting involved with a monster like this!

But, upon further observation, this guy seemed to be an enemy of the lion, not the House Xiao, and even the thing with Elder Pi was a misunderstanding!

So Xiao Ben thought that he might be able to turn this thing around- after all, that lion had run to House Chu! Wasn’t he looking for the lion? Go to House Chu then! It was possible that he’d get into conflict with those at House Chu, and he might beat Lin Yi down as well. It’d be best if he could cripple him and take revenge for the Xiaos!

Xiaoben felt that he was a genius- even the masterful Zhu Geliang of ancient times wasn’t as smart as him, was he? No wonder even his older brother, the head of the house, always listened to what he said!

“Oh? Where’s the lion?” Goudan turned to Xiao Ben.

“The lion’s now following an owner that’s even more powerful, so it’s ignoring us now... It even has a golden class dog as its boss now!” Xiao Ben said seriously. It wasn’t a secret that House Chu had a golden class dog, the noble houses all knew about it.

“What?! Golden class dog? Even dogs can be golden class?” Goudan’s eyes went wide, waving his hand the next instant. “But whatever if it’s protecting the lion, then I’ll kill it with one hit!”

Xiao Ji and Huli looked at each other- Xiao Ben really was a genius, using this monster to turn him to House Chu, instead of just letting him leave! It solved everything and benefited them!
