Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Ah?" Duanmu Yu carefully sized him up. Compared to before, he did not have the slightest change. He could not help but be surprised."Could it be that you're also a human?"

"Hehe, you can touch me with your own hands to see if I'm human or not." The handsome man smiled in a noncommittal manner. He walked to Duanmu Yu and stood a step away from him. Then, he extended his hand.

Duanmu Yu looked at him doubtfully and pinched his arm under Lin Yi's urging. Suddenly, his eyes changed-the texture was definitely not human flesh and blood. It felt more like some kind of plant, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"You can't guess?" The handsome man's lips curled up with interest. He slowly placed his right hand on his left forearm and gently folded it. Then, a crisp crack could be heard.

Duanmu Yu's eyelids immediately twitched. When he saw that the other party had forcibly snapped off his entire left forearm, he was even more dumbfounded. "What's going on?"

It wasn't just Duanmu Yu-even Lin Yi was stunned. He'd seen ruthless people before, but not this ruthless. This was the first time he'd seen someone break off his arm so casually.

However, the strange thing was that the handsome man did not bleed at all even though his entire forearm had been bent off. Upon closer inspection, the forearm was not made of flesh and blood at all. Other than a few holes on the cross-section, the rest of the body was completely intact. The most shocking thing was that there were several thin threads connected to the wound on his body, giving off a feeling of a lotus root that had been broken but still connected to the wound.

"Lotus root?" Only then did Duanmu Yu come to his senses. He widened his eyes and sized up the handsome man again."You are a Lotus person?"

"You can say so. To be exact, my original form is a water lily. As for my identity, you know it. I'm The Guardian of that Lord, which they call the water lily Guardian." The handsome man said indifferently.

"Water lotus Protector." Duanmu Yu was a little surprised by this answer. The water lily was an extremely quiet and beautiful plant. It could even be said to be pure and holy. Although the fellow in front of him appeared to be gentle and refined most of the time, the tyranny that jumped out from time to time was deeply rooted in his bones. No matter how he thought about it, he could not associate it with the water lily.

But Lin Yi suddenly understood-spirit beasts were different from human practitioners. Unless they had a special talent, they could only practice their own race's talent, and every talent was closely related to their body. This guy's body was a water lily-no wonder he could use such a magical ability.

"Alright, I've asked all the questions I need to ask. Take off your clothes. Dual cultivation requires you to be clean and spotless. I'll wash your body." As the handsome man spoke, he reattached his arm and extended his hand to grab the last piece of clothing on Duanmu Yu's body.

This time, Duanmu Yu wasn't as carefree as before. If even her last bit of clothing was ripped off, she would no longer have the face to face anyone.

To be honest, Duanmu Yu's strength couldn't be considered weak. However, it depended on who he was compared to. In front of an existence on the level of the water lotus Protector, he was simply not worth mentioning. His body had only leaned back a little when his hands were caught by the other party.

"No need to hide. I know you're shy, so I'll help you undress this time." The handsome man faintly smiled. His patience had almost worn out. He no longer wanted to dawdle with Duanmu Yu and create any romantic feelings. Right now, he wanted to get straight to the point and immediately begin his dual cultivation.

Duanmu Yu was greatly shocked. However, at this moment, she was unable to struggle at all. She could only watch helplessly as the other party slowly pulled at her undergarments. At this moment, she had no other choice but to accept her fate.

But just as Duanmu Yu was about to give up, Lin Yi suddenly appeared between her and the handsome man. Before the man could react, Lin Yi had already stuffed his hand into his mouth.

This scene was too sudden. Even Duanmu Yu, who was mentally prepared, couldn't react in time, let alone the handsome man. It was fine if it was just that it happened so suddenly, but the key was that Lin Yi was too fast. Whether it was escape or surprise attack, he had the absolute initiative. The brain-eating insect couldn't do anything to him last time, and the water lotus guard couldn't do anything to him this time either.

As a Guardian, a being that was second only to one beast and above all other beasts, the handsome man had never been so humiliated before. Not only had he been snuck into his mirror world, but now, someone had even put a hand in his mouth. He was so angry that he almost fainted.

Unfortunately, before Duanmu Yu could even react, Lin Yi had already pulled his hand back. He and Duanmu Yu both retreated at lightning speed.

The handsome man was stunned for a moment. Then, he realized that there seemed to be something in his mouth. Unfortunately, before he could reach out to take it, the thing had exploded with a loud bang. His entire head was blown up on the spot.

"He ... Is dead, right?" Duanmu Yu looked at the dismembered body in front of him, dumbfounded. She thought that there would be a bloody battle today, but Lin Yi's sudden move ended the battle instantly.

"I hope so." Lin Yi frowned as he looked at the body.

The ambush was a plan he'd thought of a long time ago, but it was actually just an alternative-the best time to strike was when the guy started dual practitioning, but Duanmu Yu's innocence would be in danger if he did that. After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Yi decided to strike first.

Fortunately, this wasn't a bad opportunity. With Lin Yi's unbeatable speed, he managed to sneak an attack without any mishaps, giving the water lotus Protector a big gift with a Qi pellet fire bomb.

Logically speaking, the explosion should be complete, but for some reason, perhaps it was because it went too smoothly, Lin Yi felt a little uneasy. This was an existence on the same level as the brain-eating insect, and one Qi pellet fire bomb was enough to take care of it so easily?

"What's wrong?" Duanmu Yu said as he looked at him.

"Oh, it's nothing," Lin Yi shook his head hard-he might've been overthinking things. The water lotus was strong, but she wasn't the same type of spirit beast as the brain-eating insect. Her defense wasn't as strong as the brain-eating insect 's, and it was normal for her to be killed by a Qi fire bomb.

"Since it's nothing, why don't you put me down?" Duanmu Yu's expression turned cold.

"Uh, sorry, sorry." Lin Yi snapped back to his senses-he'd hugged Duanmu Yu when he retreated to prevent him from getting hurt by the bomb, and he'd completely forgotten about that. It was as if he'd been taking advantage of him.
