Peerless Bodyguard of a Stunning Beauty

When the assistant and the three beauties saw Zhao Rong use the Genuine Fish Identifier on the monstrous fish not far away, they quickly asked, ”Zhao Rong, that fish must be fake, right? Otherwise, how could such a huge fish possibly exist in this small Underground Dark River?”

The assistant was convinced the fish was fake. ”Zhao,” he said, ”there doesn’t seem to be any food chain in this Underground Dark River. If that’s the case, how could such a massive fish survive?”

Lili took out an electronic measuring device and scanned the scavenger fish. ”This fish is a full 20 meters long, 20 meters wide, and weighs 20 tons,” she said in horror. ”A fish this huge must have an incredible appetite. If it’s real, I have no idea what it could possibly eat in such a closed environment.”

Even Zhao Rong himself was taken aback. ”I thought this giant fish had to be man-made,” he admitted, ”but I never expected it to be real...”

As he spoke, Zhao Rong took out his phone, opened the Paradise Shopping Cart app, and began searching for a weapon capable of killing a fish weighing over twenty tons. Meanwhile, Yu Lan took out her own phone, opened WeChat, and scanned the colossal fish before them.

After the scan, Yu Lan said in surprise, ”No way! This isn’t a scavenger fish. It’s a new species called a ’Killer Fish’...”

Having never heard of such a creature, Xuelian curiously asked Yu Lan, ”A Killer Fish? What’s that? Quick, look it up!”

Yu Lan already had the information from the scan and explained to Xuelian, ”The so-called Killer Fish lives in underground rivers. It’s an extremely ferocious species that primarily eats mineral rocks, supplemented by various microorganisms.”

Hearing that such a strange fish existed, Xuelian remarked with a sense of wonder, ”The world is truly full of surprises...”

Just then, Zhao Rong completed his purchase from the Paradise Shopping Cart. As he opened the package, he said to the others, ”Don’t be afraid. It might look ferocious, but I’ve bought a weapon from the Paradise Shopping Cart specifically to deal with it. I’ll eliminate it right now.”

Before Zhao Rong could finish speaking, the Killer Fish opened its gaping maw and swam straight for the small boat carrying them.

Seeing the fish charge at them with its mouth wide open, the assistant’s face went pale. ”Zhao Rong, what did you buy from the Paradise Shopping Cart? Get it out, quick! We’re about to become fish food!”

Lili looked on in anticipation. ”Zhao Rong, since it’s a weapon for the Killer Fish, it must be something powerful and impressive, right? I bet it will be amazing!”

Before Lili could finish her sentence, Zhao Rong presented the weapon he had purchased. But when the assistant and the three beauties saw what it was—a Cupid’s Arrow—they were so astounded they fell over in the boat.

The assistant stared in disbelief at the Cupid’s Arrow in Zhao Rong’s hand. Dumbfounded, with his mouth hanging open, he stammered, ”Zhao Rong... are you sure this thing—with the heart-shaped tip and all—is for killing fish and not for finding love?”

Lili looked at the Cupid’s Arrow in Zhao Rong’s hand and patted her own chest. ”Zhao Rong, I know what that is! If you like a girl, you shoot her in the chest with it, and then she’ll be yours.” Then she told him to take the arrow and shoot her.

Yu Lan found it even more unbelievable. ”Zhao Rong, did the seller on the Paradise Shopping Cart scam you? We need to kill the fish that’s charging us! How can a Cupid’s Arrow possibly kill a monster that huge?”

Xuelian urged him on, ”Zhao Rong, if that weapon won’t work, hurry and buy another one! Otherwise, we’re really going to be eaten by this thing!”

Zhao Rong held the Cupid’s Arrow, nocked it to his bow, and aimed at the approaching Killer Fish. ”You don’t understand,” he explained to his stunned companions. ”This bow and arrow might look just like a regular Cupid’s Arrow, but it’s actually an exceptionally powerful weapon. If you don’t believe me, just watch how easily I kill this fish with it.”

With that, Zhao Rong took aim and fired. The arrow flew true. The moment the Cupid’s Arrow struck the Killer Fish, its red, heart-shaped tip shattered, and thousands upon thousands of piranhas poured out. Upon hitting the water, the piranhas swelled in size, baring razor-sharp teeth. The massive school began to frantically tear into the enormous Killer Fish. In less than thirty seconds, the once-mighty creature was devoured completely, leaving only a clean skeleton floating forlornly on the surface of the Underground Dark River.

When the assistant and the three beauties saw how formidable the Cupid’s Arrow was, their eyes widened in disbelief. ”Zhao Rong,” the assistant said, amazed, ”that arrow is incredible! It was hiding thousands of piranhas inside it...”

Lili clutched her chest, a look of horrified relief on her face. ”Thank goodness he didn’t shoot when I told him to... Otherwise, I’d be just like that Killer Fish, eaten down to a skeleton by all those piranhas...”

Yu Lan watched the piranhas swimming in the water and turned to Zhao Rong with a worried expression. ”Zhao Rong, you killed the Killer Fish, but now there are thousands of these in the water. Haven’t we just jumped out of the tiger’s den and into the wolf’s lair?”

Xuelian asked with equal concern, ”Yes, Zhao Rong! We killed the big one, but what are we going to do about all these piranhas?”

Listening to their concerns, Zhao Rong simply smiled, took a packet of instant noodles from his pocket, and said, ”Don’t worry. I’ll take care of these thousands of piranhas right now.”
