Beauty and the Bodyguard

“I’ll be right back.”

Lin Yi greeted the people from Tianji and wrapped himself in space law energy before entering.

In just an instant, he had arrived in a completely unfamiliar world.

What surprised Lin Yi was that he didn’t see any traces of Yonghe, the disaster beast that was fished up. He looked around and saw that it was a busy city.

“It’s quite prosperous.”

Lin Yi found a teahouse nearby and chatted with the customers. He quickly figured out where he was.

The capital of the Jing Ocean, Emperor Fish City.

Not only that, but he also heard the words ” Fishing Emperor”. His heart skipped a beat. He probed,” What’s the background of this Fishing Emperor?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire teahouse fell silent.

Everyone looked at him strangely.

Lin Yi realized that he had asked a stupid question.

The Fishing Emperor was the number one person in the Jing Ocean and his reputation wasn’t any less than his in the Divine Kingdom on land. If someone asked Lin Yi who he was in the Divine Kingdom on land, they would probably get the same treatment.

If he encountered someone who was a little more vigilant, he might have to find someone to report him on the spot.

A moment later, the atmosphere in the teahouse returned to normal. However, no one talked about the Fishing Emperor anymore. It had all become gossip.

Lin Yi sat for a while before leaving.

Just as he was thinking about finding a professional intelligence agency to get a better understanding of the situation in the Jinghai area, a young woman’s voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

“Hey! Are you the one who wants to inquire about the Fishing Emperor?”

Lin Yi turned around and saw a girl in pink. She looked cute and cute, especially her eyes.

While he was sizing up the other party, the other party was also sizing him up.

“Hey! I’m asking you!”

The woman in pink frowned impatiently.

“Who are you?” Lin Yi looked at her calmly.

The woman in pink raised her head proudly.” If you want to know more about the Fishing Emperor, then come with me. I’m reminding you out of kindness. If you continue to ask around like a headless fly, I’ll make sure you die without a burial place!”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and followed behind her.

After three streets and five alleys, the woman in pink pushed open the door and entered a small courtyard. She turned to look at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi scanned the room once he entered.

Although the furnishings were simple, there were some exquisite designs. The entire color scheme was mainly pink. It was obviously a woman’s boudoir.

“Have a seat.”

The woman in pink poured a glass of water and pushed it in front of Lin Yi. She poured herself a glass and sat down across from him.

“Aren’t you afraid that I’m not a good person?” Lin Yi asked curiously.

The woman in pink rolled her eyes at him.” Even if you’re a bad person, you’re still a foolish bad person. Moreover, you’re a bad person without any strength. You’re not even in the Supreme Realm. Do I need to worry about you having any bad intentions?”

“Miss, you’re a Supreme Realm master.”

“Of course.” The woman in pink smiled proudly.

“You look like you’re only at the Sea Splitting Stage. You’re not bad outside, but you’re still far from a real master like me.”

“I’ve made a fool of myself in front of Young Lady.”

“May I know your name, miss?” Lin Yi asked, embarrassed.

” I’m Ma Xiaozhu,” the woman in pink said generously.” What about you?”

“I’m Lin Eighteen,” Lin Yi replied without a change in expression.

Ma Xiaozhu looked at him and said,” What kind of parents are you? What a ridiculous name. Alright, don’t be so formal. Drink some water.”

“Alright.”

“Miss Zhu, can you tell me more about the Fishing King?” Lin Yi asked.

” The Fishing Emperor is the number one person in the world,” Ma Xiaozhu asked.” Everyone in the capital knows him. Where are you from? How can you not know about him?”

“Would Miss Zhu believe me if I told her I’m from the outside world?” Lin Yi blinked.

” You’re from the Inner Court?” Ma Xiaozhu was stunned.

She could not be blamed for her reaction. From what she knew, it was almost impossible to travel between the Divine Kingdom on land and the Six Enclaves. Only the Inner Court had a special status. Although there were also many restrictions, it was much easier to enter and exit any place.

Lin Yi nodded.

“I don’t believe you!” Ma Xiaozhu sneered. Why aren’t you telling the truth?”

An invisible force entered Lin Yi’s sea of consciousness. Lin Yi’s eyes glazed over as he said in a muffled voice,” I’m from the southern mountains.”

“That’s more like it!”

Ma Xiaozhu patted Lin Yi’s cheek proudly,” Since you drank my water, you’ll be my puppet from now on. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of you.”

Little did she know that the medicine she thought was invincible didn’t work on Lin Yi at all.

The moment the water entered his mouth, the medicinal properties were suppressed and disintegrated by the world’s will. Lin Yi was just playing along.

Ma Xiaozhu clapped her hands.

Soon, three men came in.

“This is the last bait, right?” The leader had a green face and a long beard.

” Exactly!” Ma Xiaozhu nodded.” It’s exactly the hundredth!”

“Is there a problem?” The other two looked at Lin Yi.

” What’s wrong?” Ma Xiaozhu glared at them.” I’ll do it myself. What’s wrong?” If the two of you don’t believe me, then fine. Drink this glass of water and test it out for yourself. It’s just nice to have two more baits!”

The two of them immediately shrunk their necks and did not dare to make another sound.

Becoming bait was not as simple as becoming a muddle-headed puppet. More importantly, bait was used to fish, and it was very likely to be eaten!

The fish they were going to catch this time was no ordinary fish.

” Alright,” the green-faced man said in a deep voice.” Tomorrow is the day of the Hundred Beasts Parade set by the Fishing Emperor. This is his advancement ceremony. Once the exotic beasts that he has fished up across the world successfully finish their parade, he will be able to completely fuse the powers of all the exotic beasts!”

“At that time, his strength will rise to an unimaginable height. After that, we will really have no chance to topple him.”

“Ever since the Fishing Emperor ascended the throne, he has levied exorbitant taxes and treated human lives like grass.. The world has suffered from him for a long time!”
