Beauty and the Bodyguard

Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh again. This guy was still the same-just for a sparring partner, he'd try to bribe him instead of threatening him. Just how lonely and bored was he?

"Reconstruct the body? You have this kind of skill?" Lin Yi said in disbelief.

"Of course, I'm a nine neonate. Do I have to make up such a lie to lie to a human like you?" The nine neonate said hurriedly.

"Then why don't you do it yourself?" Lin Yi asked back, his face still showing no signs of believing it. For the yuan Shen, reconstructing the body was the most important thing, and this temptation was more important than anything else. If there was really such an opportunity, no matter who it was, they would do it at all costs. Even this thing wanted it, he didn't believe that the nine neonate could resist it!

"Uh ... It's because I'm from a special race that it just so happens to conflict with this method that I know. Otherwise, I would have reconstructed my physical body a long time ago and wouldn't be cooped up in this damn place!" The nine neonate sighed.

It was not lying. The nine neonate was an extremely powerful race. However, while it gave them extremely powerful talents, it also inevitably left behind insurmountable shackles. It was this kind of suffering.

However, it believed that this was an irresistible temptation for Lin Yi. Any other spirit would be tempted, and this mysterious human in front of him was no different.

But the result was destined to disappoint-Lin Yi wasn't interested at all."What you said is useless to me. I have my original body. As long as I want to, I can go back at any time."

"Impossible! That's impossible!" The nine neonate's eight intact heads cried out in unison. It thought that Lin Yi didn't believe it and made up this nonsense. How was it possible to go back with the main body?

Although there was an out-of-body theory in the world of practitioning, the restrictions were complicated. The spirit couldn't be too far away from the body, and with the current environment, it was useless even if Lin Yi's body was on the shore. He couldn't go back anymore, not to mention that he didn't even have his body.

"You don't believe me? Hehe, I can separate my primordial spirit from my corporeal body at any time. I can separate and merge them as I please. Just watch. " Lin Yi pointed at Duanmu Yu's body and sent her spirit out.

Duanmu Yu was already motionless, but he came back to life after his spirit returned. He looked at Lin Yi with a strange expression,"Why did you put me in there again?"

"Uh ... The situation forced me to do so. Are you alright?" Lin Yi was surprised by her reaction-he thought that her spirit entering and exiting his Jade space would cause some side effects, and she'd gotten injured.

"It's nothing much, it's just that the water lotus Protector you locked up kept talking to me. He started pouring out his grievances the moment he saw me, trying to get me to plead for him. It's so annoying ..." Duanmu Yu found it funny. Thinking back to how powerful the water lotus Protector was back then, he was speechless that Lin Yi had turned her into this.

"What? Water lotus Protector? It's with you?" The nine neonate was shocked when it heard this. It was impossible that Duanmu Yu had deliberately made this up to scare it, because it had never mentioned the words "water lily" from beginning to end. It had only said that there was a Guardian and a special envoy.

"Oh? It seems that you're a good Lord, and you care about your subordinates?" Lin Yi and Duanmu Yu exchanged a look.

"How is this possible? Who the hell are you?" The nine neonate could not believe it. It felt that there must be something special about this, but it could not find any flaws at the moment, so it could only believe it.

However, even if it was only half-believing, Lin Yi's ability was enough to open its eyes. A mere human could imprison the water lotus Protector and separate the body and soul at will, separating and reuniting as he wanted.

"It can't be considered divine. It's just a foreign primordial spirit," Lin Yi smiled faintly.

The more he was like this, the more unfathomable he was in the eyes of the nine neonate. It was even more unpredictable and extremely fearful.

"Hmph, he's really hiding his true abilities." The nine neonate snorted coldly. It was already a little impatient and even exasperated. It had occupied the river of consciousness for so many years, and countless Masters had died at its hands. It had never been as defeated as it was now.

This human's primordial spirit seemed to be weak and seemed to be at the perfected Foundation establishment realm. It should not be worth mentioning, but from just now until now, it, the mighty nine neonate, had been repeatedly defeated and could not do anything to a mere human's primordial spirit?

In its anger, the nine neonate couldn't help but have the urge to devour Lin Yi's essence spirit!

But it held back in the end-the more complicated Lin Yi was, the more it didn't want to act rashly. What if the kid was really a wolf in sheep's clothing? what if he accidentally got himself involved in the process?

But then again, it was rare to meet such an interesting human spirit. Even if there was a way to get rid of Lin Yi, the nine neonate was a little reluctant.

"You're too kind," Lin Yi looked at the nine neonate's struggling face and found it funny. Although it was a ferocious and terrifying immemorial spirit beast in the legends, this fellow was really interesting. It wasn't completely inhuman. If they weren't in a life-and-death situation, they might really be able to have a good talk.

But Lin Yi wasn't in a hurry. He couldn't do anything to the nine neonate, but the nine neonate couldn't do anything to him either. It was up to who was more patient and calm.

For Duanmu Yu's sake, Lin Yi wouldn't just walk away like this. He had to slowly wear down Duanmu Yu's personality, until he finally accepted the reality and agreed to send them away.

The nine neonate was silent for a long time again before suddenly saying,""How about this? since you've already taken the water lily, I can let you take over and appoint you as my new protector. What do you think?"

"You want me to be your protector? What do I get in return?" Lin Yi found it weird-this guy clearly didn't know what to do with him, and yet it still wanted him to be its follower. Did water get into its brain?

"I heard that you have a grudge against the brain-eating insects?" The nine neonate said, pretending to be profound.

"How did you know?" Lin Yi froze.

"It's too simple. I'm the master of the entire trial ground. My consciousness covers every place here. As long as I want to know something, it can't escape my senses." The nine neonate said smugly.

"Then why didn't you know that I've taken in protector water lily?" Lin Yi and Duanmu Yu looked at each other in disbelief.

"Uh ... It's different. Its catoptric deflection is its own illusionary realm, which can isolate all divine sense perception from the outside world. Moreover, my control of the entire trial ground more or less depends on the ability of plant-type spirit beasts. Wherever it's around, it's not easy for me to control it." The nine neonate could not help but say awkwardly.
