Peerless Bodyguard of a Stunning Beauty

Confronted by the perilous scene, Zhao Rong instantly used his Special Abilities to teleport.

He appeared at Yu Lan’s side, grabbing the dagger from the assistant’s hand just as it lunged toward her chest. Then, with a quick joint lock, Zhao Rong snatched the dagger away. He grabbed the assistant by the neck and, with an over-the-shoulder throw, slammed him hard onto the ground.

After subduing the assistant, Zhao Rong dashed toward Xuelian, who was holding a large rock. His right hand, like a pair of pliers, clamped down on Xuelian’s hands, wrenching the large stone from her grasp. Next, Zhao Rong performed a backflip, wrapped his arms around Xuelian’s waist from behind, and threw himself to the ground. He pulled a rope from his pocket and tied her hands behind her back, instantly subduing her.

With the assistant and Xuelian taken care of, Zhao Rong turned his gaze to the nearby Yu Lan, who had inhaled a small amount of the poisonous gas. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she radiated a murderous aura. She glared at Zhao Rong and Lili, looking as if she might rush over and kill them at any moment.

At this moment, the still-terrified Lili looked at the assistant and Xuelian subdued by Zhao Rong, and said tremblingly, ”Brother Zhao Rong, I know now why the people who entered this cave died… They weren’t harmed by beasts or monsters, nor were they killed by poison gas… They killed each other…”

Zhao Rong nodded. ”You’re right. They killed each other.”

Looking at the red-eyed Xuelian, Lili asked, ”Brother Zhao Rong, I think it must be the gas. It must cause hallucinations… That’s why, when they smelled it, they started killing each other indiscriminately until every last one of them was dead…”

Just as Lili finished speaking, Yu Lan suddenly snatched the dagger the assistant had dropped. Holding it in a reverse grip, she violently stabbed it toward her own abdomen.

Seeing Yu Lan about to harm herself, Lili screamed, ”Sister Yu Lan, what are you doing? Drop the dagger!”

But Yu Lan could no longer hear anyone’s voice. Her actions were completely beyond her control.

Just as the dagger was about to pierce her own flesh…

Quicker than words could tell, Zhao Rong used his Special Abilities again, teleporting instantly. He appeared at Yu Lan’s side in the blink of an eye, slapped the dagger from her hand, pinned her to the ground, and bound her hands.

”Yu Lan, don’t blame me,” he said. ”I had to be rough and tie you up to stop you from hurting yourself.”

After dealing with Yu Lan, Zhao Rong laid the assistant, Xuelian, and Yu Lan side by side, then activated the Magic Ring on his finger.

Lili, still in shock, asked, ”Brother Zhao Rong, what do we do now? Should we keep going or turn back and leave the Black Wind Cave?”

Zhao Rong’s eyes were fixed firmly on the more treacherous path ahead. ”Not only are we going forward,” he said, ”but we’re also going to find the source of the gas in this cave and eliminate the monsters inside. We’ll get revenge for everyone who was killed. Furthermore, we still have to find the Thousand Year Old Demon and get the Breakthrough Pills to save the students of the Ghost Hunting Academy.”

Hearing that he intended to press on, Lili looked at the three poisoned figures on the ground and said with difficulty, ”Brother Zhao Rong, are we really going to disregard our own safety? Are we going to risk our lives to go deeper into this cave just to help those cursed students from the Ghost Hunting Academy find their Breakthrough Pills?”

Zhao Rong bravely patted his chest, showing no fear. ”Miss Lili, please trust me. I believe that as long as we push forward bravely and face the dangers head-on, we can definitely uncover this cave’s secrets. We will also succeed in saving the students of the Ghost Hunting Academy and anyone else who is trapped, or about to be trapped, in here.”

Seeing Zhao Rong’s resolute expression and hearing his powerful words, Lili not only believed him but was filled with confidence in him. Still, looking at the three incapacitated people on the ground, she voiced her concern. ”Brother Zhao Rong, if we continue deeper into the cave, we can’t possibly carry all three of them with us, can we? But if we leave them here, what if they’re gone when we get back?”

Hearing her worries, Zhao Rong calmly activated the Magic Ring. He tossed the three of them inside, one after another, then said with a smile, ”We’re a team. How could I ever leave them behind?”

Seeing him put the three of them into the Magic Ring, Lili had a flash of insight. ”I completely forgot! The ring on your finger has its own space… That’s incredible. You can store people and items. It saves so much unnecessary trouble.”

With that, Lili followed Zhao Rong as they continued their advance into the cave. With fewer people to worry about, their pace quickened. Soon, the two of them reached the deepest part of the cave.

In stark contrast to the cold at the entrance, the deepest part of the cave was unbearably hot. Zhao Rong could no longer stand it. He stripped off his shirt and then his pants, walking through the cave in nothing but his underwear. Even then, he was drenched in sweat.

Beside him, Lili also cast aside her ladylike image. She tied her jet-black, shoulder-length hair into a high ponytail. Then she took off her shirt and pants, walking in just her bra and underwear.

When Zhao Rong saw Lili beside him, her clothes removed to reveal her stunning figure, he struggled to control his desire, forcing himself not to look at her body.

But just then, a small black snake darted out and bit Lili on the thigh.

When Zhao Rong saw that Lili’s fair thigh had been bitten, he immediately said, ”Miss Lili, lie down quickly! I’ll suck the poison out of your wound!”

Lili clutched the bite, her voice laced with pain and frustration. ”Damn it, what rotten luck! Who knew there would be snakes in a cave this deep? I hope it’s not poisonous…”

Zhao Rong, however, looked at the snake’s vibrant, colorful patterns and said with certainty, ”Miss Lili, you need to lie down. Now. You can tell if a snake is poisonous by its coloring. The more vibrant and brilliant the colors, the more venomous it is.”

Hearing that the snake was poisonous, Lili said in horror, ”Poisonous? What do we do? Am I going to die in this cave from a snakebite?”

Hearing her fear, Zhao Rong helped her lie down. He leaned over her wound, vigorously sucked out all the venom from her body, and spat it onto a nearby rock. Instantly, the venom corroded the hard stone, splitting it in two.

Seeing this terrifying sight, Lili thanked him. ”Brother Zhao Rong, thank you for sucking out the poison. Otherwise, my death would have been uglier than a pig’s...”

After ensuring all the venom was out, Zhao Rong took a large gulp of water from a small puddle in the cave, rinsed his mouth, and said, ”Don’t worry about it. As long as I got all the poison out, that’s what matters.”

After he spoke, a worried thought crossed his mind.

I get mouth ulcers so often. I really hope my luck is good today. If I have one in my mouth now, the consequences will be unimaginable…

Just as Zhao Rong was worrying about a mouth ulcer, Lili, suddenly overcome with a feverish heat, stripped off the last of her clothing.

When Zhao Rong saw the completely undressed Lili—her fair skin, exquisite figure, and seductive expression—he couldn’t stop the blood from gushing out of his nose.

When Lili saw Zhao Rong’s sudden nosebleed, she asked in alarm, ”Brother Zhao Rong, don’t tell me you accidentally swallowed some of the snake venom when you were sucking it out for me!”

Zhao Rong, awkwardly wiping his nose, tried to explain, ”Don’t be scared, this is just a habit of mine… a habitual nosebleed. I can guarantee that I sucked out one hundred percent of the venom, and I spat it all out. Not a single drop entered my body.”

Listening to his explanation but seeing the blood still pouring from his nose, Lili remained worried. ”But if you’re not poisoned, why is your nosebleed so bad? It’s gushing out like a high-pressure fire hose!”

At this point, Zhao Rong simply found a couple of tissues and plugged his nostrils to stop the flow. ”Miss Lili, you’re forcing me to tell the truth. The reason I’m bleeding is because your figure is too perfect, your skin is too fair, your chest is too full, your backside is too shapely, and your expression is just too enticing…”

Hearing such high praise from him, Lili was flattered. ”Brother Zhao Rong, am I really that charming in your eyes?”

Taking the opportunity to admire her fair body, Zhao Rong smiled. ”It’s more than high praise. To be honest, I fantasize about you a lot.”

Hearing that he often fantasized about her, Lili swallowed hard and looked at him suggestively. ”Brother Zhao Rong, you should know… I, Lili, have had a crush on you from the very beginning. Since you feel something for me too, why don’t we just break this barrier between us, and then…”

Hearing Lili ask him to break the barrier, Zhao Rong licked his lips. He looked at her voluptuous body, her smooth, porcelain skin that looked so delicate he could break it with a touch. He couldn’t help but ask, ”Break the barrier? What does that mean? How do we do that?”

Seeing that Brother Zhao Rong was interested, she immediately stepped forward and grabbed his hands. She pressed her… against his cheek and whispered, ”Come here, Brother Zhao Rong… Get on top of me, and I’ll show you how to break through this barrier…”
