Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1179 - Spilling the Beans

"I saw," Lin Yi smiled, "How's the lion doing right now?"

"I don't know. Let's take a look! I wonder if it's dead or conquered!" Yushu was getting curious as well.

Mengyao wasn't interested at first, but hearing Lin Yi and Yushu talk about it made her curious, and she followed them.

They saw something extraordinary. Weiwu was resting under the shade, and the lion, all respectful and fearful, was fanning him with a cardboard piece!

"Wow! General Weiwu has a follower now!" Yushu's eyes were wide with shock.

"Ha…" Lin Yi wasn't surprised. It was just a lion, after all, nothing compared to Weiwu.

"Shield Bro, you have two subordinates now! You can rest easy outside now that we're protected!"

Mengyao didn't know what to say. A lion fanning a dog? This was something you saw in a cartoon, but it was right in front of them! Unbelievable!

But, thinking about it, many unbelievable things had happened after Lin Yi came to the villa.

"This lion's a bit weak, and it's not conquered. It's just scared of Weiwu's overwhelming aura." Lin Yi said flatly.

"Oh?" Yushu blinked. The lion was faking it? So this meant it wasn't loyal? Yushu was no idiot. It was how things were in the real world, too. Some people only feared the powerful and had no choice but to listen to the powerful. Once a chance appeared, however, they'd almost always take it and turn the tables! Lin Yi's words made her look at the lion's eyes. They weren't honest eyes, and Yushu understood, sighing. "What do we do then? Can we make it so that he loyally guards the house?"

"Haha, as long as he's weaker than Weiwu, he'd always be looking after this place." Lin Yi was clear- whether or not the lion was genuine or not, there was nothing it could do about the overwhelming strength in front of it.

"Oh, we'll keep it then!" Yushu nodded happily. "Hey, lion! Protect the yard, okay? Don't let strangers walk in, or I'll let General Weiwu beat you up! Got that?"

"Roar…" The lion seemed to have some brain; it responded.

Yufeng had broken through into Mystic mid-phase, and he was in quite a pleasant mood. After going home, he went deep into thought as to whether he should call Lingshan or not. He had to change his impression on her, after all. Otherwise, she'd remember him as the guy with a bruised face!

Lingshan didn't look very happy after Lin Yi rejected her. She walked out of the room with a sour face.

"Well? Lingshan, what did Lin Yi say?" Yutian asked, more rushed than Lingshan was.

"He said no…" Lingshan shook her head. "I asked him to consider it, but he didn't reply…"

"That's too bad- it'd be a lot easier if Lin Yi were to join in this operation!" Yutian sighed as well. "The mission this time is really dangerous. I don't want anything to go wrong!"

"Me too, of course!" Lingshan said. "Seems like I'll have to beg him a bit more."

Her phone rang again- putting a smile on her face- did Lin Yi change his mind?

But it was an unknown number.

"Hello, this is Song Lingshan." Lingshan switched into work mode.

"Lingshan? I'm Yu Feng!" Yufeng said excitedly, thinking that her voice was the voice of an angel! Even speaking made him feel good.

"Yu Feng? What do you need?" Lingshan frowned, her face growing dark. She didn't think that he'd be calling so soon! Had he no shame, he'd just shown that embarrassing display today, and here he was, calling her!

"Haha, you see, I was walking around the beach today. The view is pretty good, and I heard you had a break tomorrow, so I wanted to invite you to come to play at the beach and relax!" Yufeng smiled. "Lingshan' it must be stressful to do your job, why not come have a barbeque and enjoy nature?"

Lingshan was not pleased- this Yufeng did his research quite well, didn't he? He still knew that it was her day off tomorrow?

"Your wounds healed already? Shouldn't you be in the hospital? Are you out already?" Lingshan said faintly, making it clear that he should be healing his wounds and not running about for barbeques.

"Lingshan, don't misunderstand. I didn't get injured in a fight. It was that I got someone to beat me up on purpose!" Yufeng had already rehearsed the perfect excuse.

"Oh? You got someone to beat you up?" Lingshan blinked. What kind of idiot would do that? Was he itching for some pain?

"Yes!" Yufeng said seriously. "Lingshan, this is my unique leveling up method that I use myself, it's called Rebirth After Suffering! Every time I'm in a bottleneck situation, I'd get someone to beat me up without fighting back, enduring, and enduring until finally, I explode- and breakthrough!"

"So, you broke through?" Lingshan said faintly.

"Yeah, I did!" Yufeng said happily. "I'm now a Mystic mid-phase!"

"Weren't you already a Mystic mid-phase?" Lingshan frowned.
