Peerless Bodyguard of a Stunning Beauty

Just then, Xue Lianmei began opening the Soul Umbrella. ”Alright,” she warned everyone, ”I’m about to open the umbrella and pour out Zhou Xiaoer’s soul, which has turned into a putrid liquid. Brace yourselves. Try not to be shocked, and definitely don’t get sick from the stench.”

As she spoke, she pressed the button on the handle. A thick, greasy, blood-red fluid immediately streamed out, dripping onto the ground. When Zhao Rong and the others saw the viscous ooze, they gaped in astonishment.

Zhao Rong furrowed his brow at the bloody puddle. ”Xue Lianmei,” he said curiously, ”didn’t you say his soul would turn into pus? This looks more like blood—and a type with an extremely high fat content, at that.”

Pinching his nose, the assistant stared at the stinking pool. ”Based on my judgment,” he said to Xue Lianmei, ”if we were to get this stuff medically tested, it would definitely show high uric acid, high cholesterol, hyperlipidemia, and probably even fatty liver disease. It seems Zhou Xiaoer was a very unhealthy man when he was alive, riddled with illnesses. Even as a soul, he’s utterly revolting.”

Lili found a shovel, scooped up a pile of yellow earth, and covered the thick fluid. She then spat on the ground and said, ”So disgusting. Let’s get out of here. We shouldn’t stand around this puddle talking about it. Just cover it up and let’s go.”

Yu Lan snapped a photo with her phone and posted it to her Moments with a playful caption. ”Guess what this pool of thick, bloody goo used to be? Whoever gets it right gets a flying kiss from me! But I’ll tell you now, no matter how smart you are or how high your IQ is, you’ll never guess what it transformed from.”

Suddenly, Xue Lianmei’s expression grew tense. ”I never expected that Zhou Xiaoer’s soul would possess an Immortal Body. We have to use the Samadhi Fire to burn this pool of blood to ashes. Otherwise, after forty-nine days, it will coalesce again, and his soul will reform into a physical body, allowing him to be resurrected.”

When the group heard that the bloody ooze on the ground could reassemble and resurrect Zhou Xiaoer after forty-nine days, they were all flabbergasted.

”I can’t believe he’s so difficult to deal with,” the assistant said, finding it incredible. ”He’s just so stubborn.”

Lili sighed. ”My god, I never would have thought Zhou Xiaoer possessed an Immortal Body.”

”It seems that to stop him from coming back,” Yu Lan added emphatically, ”we have to do what Xue Lianmei says and use the Samadhi Fire to burn this mess to ashes. Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable.”

At this, Zhao Rong stepped forward and immediately retrieved the Samadhi Fire from his Magic Ring. After chanting an incantation, he aimed the fire at the pool of bloody fluid. As he began to incinerate it, the viscous liquid turned into a pile of black cinder in a mere instant.

Seeing the repulsive ooze reduced to slag by Zhao Rong’s Samadhi Fire, everyone clapped and cheered. ”That’s it! We’ve finally finished off Zhou Xiaoer. Now we don’t have to worry about this puddle resurrecting and turning back into him in forty-nine days.”

”You’re incredible, Zhao Rong!” the assistant said excitedly. ”That blast of Samadhi Fire was so potent. You turned that puddle of blood into cinder in less than ten minutes. That was satisfying to watch!”

Lili praised him as well. ”Zhao Rong, your Magic Ring is a real treasure chest! It has everything. Not just fire, but the Samadhi Fire! It’s so powerful, domineering, and completely unexpected.”

”Zhao Rong, in this entire world, you’re the only one I truly admire,” Yu Lan said with admiration. ”You’re skilled with weapons, martial arts, and Tai Chi, and you can also wield fire—the Samadhi Fire, no less! You have no idea how cool you looked burning the remnants of Zhou Xiaoer’s soul. It left a very deep impression on me.”

However, just as everyone was showering him with praise, a thought struck Zhao Rong.

”Oh no,” he said. ”If we’ve killed Zhou Xiaoer, how are we going to find the mastermind behind all this, Hong Ju?”

Hearing this, everyone exchanged uncertain glances, unsure of how they would find the big boss now. Just when they were all out of ideas, Xue Lianmei smiled and gave Zhao Rong a suggestion. ”Zhao Rong, you should open the Paradise Shopping Cart and search for a device that can replicate DNA. Maybe that way, we can discover Hong Ju’s whereabouts and track him down.”

Though the others didn’t quite understand her meaning, Zhao Rong did.

Realization dawned on him. ”That could work. Since we found Zhou Xiaoer’s soul, we can extract its soul DNA. As long as we have his soul DNA, we can use a DNA tracker to find Hong Ju’s location.”

With that, Zhao Rong purchased a Soul DNA Extraction Test Tube from the Paradise Shopping Cart. A moment later, the seller fired the package over with a delivery cannon, and it landed right at his feet.

As he opened the package, Zhao Rong announced happily, ”Now, once we get this Soul DNA Extraction Test Tube, we can get Zhou Xiaoer’s soul DNA. And with his soul DNA, we can pinpoint Hong Ju’s location!”

He opened the box, took out a test tube, and showed it to everyone.

However, when they saw the very ordinary-looking test tube in his hand, they all shook their heads, skeptical that such a common item could possibly extract so-called soul DNA.

The assistant pointed doubtfully at the pile of ashes on the ground. ”Zhao Rong, can that ordinary-looking test tube really extract DNA from these ashes?”
