Peerless Bodyguard of a Stunning Beauty

Just as the three women were stopping Zhao Rong from diving into the deep pool, he smiled and pointed to a package falling from the sky. ”Lili, Yu Lan, Xuelian, don’t be afraid. I definitely wasn’t planning on diving into this dangerous pool alone and without any high-tech equipment. You see that package about to land? That’s the device I bought from the Paradise Shopping Cart. It will help us explore the pool and guarantee our absolute safety.”

When the three women saw the cardboard box hit the ground, they immediately let go of Zhao Rong. ”So you were prepared after all, Zhao Rong!” they said in surprise. ”We thought you were just going to plunge in recklessly.”

Lili retracted her hand and looked at the nearby cardboard box. ”Zhao Rong, did you buy a submarine from the Paradise Shopping Cart?” she asked curiously. ”Only a submarine could help us dive into this perilous pool.”

Yu Lan released the corner of Zhao Rong’s clothes. ”I bet you bought a nuclear submarine from the Paradise Shopping Cart,” she said. ”Only a nuclear submarine would be powerful enough to guarantee our safety.”

Xuelian let go of Zhao Rong’s leg and rushed forward excitedly. She began opening the box, saying, ”You sure buy things fast from the Paradise Shopping Cart, Zhao Rong! Before we even had a chance to react, you’d already bought the Divine Artifact to help us.”

However, just as the women assumed Zhao Rong must have bought some high-end submarine, they opened the package and pulled out an extremely ordinary-looking electric kettle. Lili stared at the very plain kettle, unable to comprehend the situation. ”Zhao Rong, I really thought you’d bought a submarine to help us... but why did you buy an electric kettle? Are you thirsty? Did you buy it to boil water for tea?”

Zhao Rong smiled at her. ”Lili, this thing might look like an electric kettle, but it’s not actually a kettle. It’s...”

Before he could finish, Yu Lan interrupted him. She picked up the kettle and opened its lid. ”Zhao Rong, this is clearly an electric kettle. Are you trying to trick us into believing it’s a submarine?”

Xuelian also looked at the kettle. Its material and design couldn’t be more ordinary. ”This is just an electric kettle,” she declared. ”I’ll fight anyone who says it isn’t.”

At that moment, the assistant stepped forward. ”Lili, Yu Lan, Xuelian, I don’t think this is as simple as an electric kettle,” he said, offering a kind reminder. ”Have you all forgotten that everything Zhao Rong buys from the Paradise Shopping Cart is a surprise? Let’s not jump to conclusions. We should first let him explain what kind of high-tech product this kettle-like device really is.” After speaking, the assistant looked at Zhao Rong, and the three women also fixed their sharp gazes on his face.

Facing them all, Zhao Rong picked up the kettle and pressed a red button on it. ”This thing looks like an electric kettle,” he began, ”but it isn’t. It can withstand super-high pressures and resist all sorts of corrosive acids. It can ward off any poison, endure any explosion, and even resist being smelted by lava hotter than 1,000 degrees Celsius...”

Lili grew impatient. ”Zhao Rong, what on earth is this thing? Stop beating around the bush and tell us!”

Yu Lan was also getting anxious. ”Is it a submarine or not, Zhao Rong? Stop keeping us in suspense and just tell us already!”

Xuelian picked up the device’s instruction manual from the ground, her eyes widening in surprise. ”Wow, I can’t believe it... this thing really isn’t an electric kettle.”

Seeing their eager expressions, Zhao Rong finally revealed the answer. ”It looks like an electric kettle, but it’s not. Nor is it the submarine or nuclear submarine you were imagining. This is a Noah’s Ark.”

When the three women and the assistant heard Zhao Rong claim the kettle was a Noah’s Ark, they were so shocked they stumbled and fell to the ground. Lili scrambled back up, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. ”Are you joking, Zhao Rong? Noah’s Ark was a massive boat made of wood! It was filled with enough food for people to live on for months during the great flood. But this thing... it’s just an electric kettle. To say it’s a Noah’s Ark is a bit of a stretch, don’t you think?”

The difference between this kettle and Noah’s Ark is just too vast. Yu Lan thought as she scrambled to her feet. ”Zhao Rong, you need to be careful with your words,” she cautioned. ”You know Noah’s Ark is from the Bible, right? It says that when a great flood struck the Earth thousands of years ago, God gave Noah an ark. He led the faithful, along with all sorts of crops and animals, onto it and survived the disaster.”

Xuelian added her own gentle reminder. ”Please, just tell us what this thing really is, Zhao Rong. Because I absolutely do not believe it’s a Noah’s Ark.”

Just as their doubts peaked, Zhao Rong pressed the red button again. Instantly, the electric kettle began to rapidly transform. When it finished its transformation, Lili, Yu Lan, Xuelian, and the assistant were left utterly speechless. They stared, completely stunned, before exclaiming in unison, ”Oh my God! Who would have thought that this ordinary-looking, easy-to-carry, and seemingly cheap electric kettle was actually a Noah’s Ark?”
