Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 421 - Easily

Uncle Yan nodded slightly before sending a fist at Lin Yi. He could see that Lin Yi had speed, but he was still just a regular human- one fist from him could end him.

A smack sounded, and both Uncle Yan and Ruoming stared in silence- Lin Yi had sent a palm across Ruoming's cheek again, not even trying to dodge Uncle Yan's fist, as if he couldn't care less!

"Have you become retarded? Getting a sickly old man to deal with me? I know retard pills are good but you can't eat them too much! I've never seen someone as retarded as you!"

That statement pissed Uncle Yan so much it almost amused him- after recovering from the shock he understood what it meant for the ignorant to be fearless. He was an early phase golden class, and this guy was calling him a sickly old man!

He was quite sickly, though- that'd been true ever since he was small. He never had the healthiest body, and that meant that the early phase of the golden class was as far as he could get. There hadn't been any progress after that, so he'd put himself on the line, positioning himself as the vanguard for his sect, filling the shoes of robbing and stealing to fund the sect.

But that was comparing himself to other members of the sect! What did this breast milk drinking kid think he was saying, calling him an old man?

Blood rushed up Uncle Yan's head, prompting him to fire an even harder punch- he was planning on killing Lin Yi with one go!!

But the fist hadn't reached Lin Yi yet when another crisp smack sounded, sending Uncle Yan tumbling onto the floor. Five fresh lines of red appeared on his cheek after the slap.

"You think you're hot stuff, aren't you? You think it's such a big deal you're a golden class early phase? How old are you, old man, don't you feel shame bullying two young people like this?" With that, Lin Yi stepped on Uncle Yan's head and deformed the left side of his cheek, popping even his teeth out.

Ruoming and Tang Yin sweated at Lin Yi's words- people usually said that about young people bullying the elderly, but it was a first to hear that turned around…

Although, Uncle Yan didn't find the statement out of place at all. Ruoming and Tang Yin's understanding only applied to the mortal world- things were different in the Wulin one! People in that world usually got tougher and stronger as they aged, so the elderly picking on the young was something that people would call bullying if word got out.

But was this really the elderly picking on the young anymore? Uncle Yan felt like crying! He'd completely failed to assess his opponent- not only did the guy see what level he was at with just one look, it didn't even look like he needed to tire himself to beat him up!

He was an early phase golden class!! He was golden class, and Lin Yi was stepping on him relentlessly like he was stepping on a defenseless dog! He had to be at least golden class mid phase or end phase from what the situation provided.

"Uncle Yan… Wh-What are you doing? There's no need to worry, there's no one here… It's alright if you just kill him…" Ruoming still hadn't caught on yet- he assumed that Uncle Yan was making himself look weak on purpose, pretending that Lin Yi was forcing him into a corner, so that he'd be able to unleash his violence on the kid all of a sudden!

That'd achieve the purpose, but it just didn't feel right- it wasn't pleasing to him if Ruoming couldn't see Lin Yi get annihilated with one shot. Ruoming decided to remind Uncle Yan as he panicked.

One couldn't blame Ruoming's mindset here- to him, a golden class master at the early phase was a godly existence, a symbol of invincibility. He'd heard from his father Tiandi that it took several heavily armed cops to barely be able to pressure down Uncle Yan! That was simply insane- it meant that Uncle Yan would have an overwhelming victory one on one!

Ruoming didn't understand how powerful a golden class early phase was, but he felt that it had to be stronger than Lin Yi! As much of a fighter Lin Yi was, he was still a regular person, and that meant he wouldn't be able to compare with a master from the Wulin world!

Even if Lin Yi did destroy Heibao, the guy was still just a street gangster! He could be a good fighter all he wanted, that still wasn't enough to put him on the golden class early phase level! It was only natural that Ruoming would utter something so ignorant and idiotic.

Uncle Yan's heart was feeling rather bitter as Ruoming spoke- had the guy still not understood the situation yet? Did Ruoming think he was getting stepped on voluntarily? He was getting stepped on because he couldn't handle the opponent! The gap between the enemy and him was so prominent that it wasn't a fair fight in the slightest!

"Zou Ruoming, how come you knew where I was?" Lin Yi didn't forget to ask Ruoming questions as he stepped on Uncle Yan.

"Don't get so cocky yet, Lin Yi- just wait until Uncle Yan gets serious, he'll fuck you up!" The idiot still hadn't caught on, convinced that Uncle Yan was able to finish Lin Yi off. "You hit my dad's car and broke my brother's arm- I've come with Uncle Yan to personally have my revenge on you!!"

"Oh? That idiot from earlier, that's your old man?" Lin Yi said, enlightened. So that was why Ruoming knew where he was, it was because Tiandi was his father, and Ruoguang his brother!

It proved the saying true- you wouldn't be in the same family if you weren't family. This here was a family of idiots.

"Uncle Yan, what're you doing!! Hurry up, off this kid!!" Ruoming was getting confused- why wasn't Uncle Yan unleashing his strength on Lin Yi yet?

"Elder Jiao, there's a lot of people here, can't really kill this old man. Is there any way I can disable his strength?" Lin Yi asked Elder Jiao in the jade silently.

"Of course!" Elder Jiao spoke up. "These people in the martial world who used incomplete training methods to reach golden class- there's plenty of flaws in them, nowhere as perfect as your Art of Dragon Mastery. As long as they're not at the earth class yet they'll have an achilles heel on them, so if you hit that, the person basically becomes useless. Unless they retrain their body from the start, using physical training to get to the golden stage again."

"So where's his achilles heel?" Lin said, pleasantly surprised at the answer.

"That… I do not know." Elder Jiao replied.

"......" Lin Yi wasn't expecting that at all- even Elder Jiao didn't know?

"But usually golden class people's achilles heel is at the pubic region, except for some special case physical practitioners." Elder Jiao's follow up gave Lin Yi hope again.

With a slam, Lin Yi slammed his foot into Uncle Yan's pubic region. He cried out like a ghost before fainting, falling onto the ground like a deflated balloon.

Lin Yi knew that he'd hit Uncle Yan square in his achilles heel, disabling him completely- the instant he connected the attack he sensed Uncle Yan's pure qi rapidly escaping his body and dissipating.

Just like what Elder Jiao said- Lin Yi couldn't feel Uncle Yan's power level anymore. To him, the guy was just a very normal old man.

Ruoming stared in shock at the scene- never would he have imagined that Uncle Yan would faint like that! Was it real or was he pretending?

He saw Lin Yi walking towards him the next instant.

Chapter 422 - He's Mute

Ruoming's hair stood up as he watched Lin Yi walk over, completely terrified. "Wh-What're you doing! Don't… Get away…"

A slap was sent across Ruoming's face again, this time with more power behind it- it sent Ruoming's teeth flying out, splitting his lips as well.

(I can't tell if this is literal or figurative… That time Cihua sent his men on Jianwen, too, the original text said Jianwen got all his teeth knocked out and couldn't speak anymore, but as I translated the next chapter I knew that it was obviously not that serious…)

"You… You killed Uncle Yan?" Ruoming was in complete disbelief- this was a golden class they were talking about, a god! How come he was dead after Lin Yi stepped on him a couple of times? How was that possible at all??

"No, I'm not like you, okay, I don't shout 'kill him!', 'kill him!" if I'm pissed. I'm actually not that bold at all." LIn Yi said and sent another slap across Ruoming's cheek, turning his face into a pig-face.

"Misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding… Boss Lin Yi, I'm actually here with Uncle Yan to cause you trouble because my dad asked me to, it's not my fault, I'm just a messenger… Don't do anything to me…" Ruoming knew that he wouldn't be able to get away from Lin Yi- running meant digging his own grave! Without much of a choice left, he arched his body into a kneeling position. "Boss Lin Yi, it really isn't me!!"

"I'm not talking about that." Lin Yi shook his head. "I'm talking about you going after Tang Yin!"

Lin Yi stepped on Ruoming's face- he cried out tragically in response.

"I told you she's my woman, why do you keep going after her? You wanna die?" Lin Yi felt that he needed to give this Ruoming a lesson he'd remember for good- he wouldn't know about this scary thing called death otherwise.

"Ow… Oww……" Ruoming cried out as he held his head in his hands. "Boss Lin Yi, I won't do it anymore… It won't happen again… I got caught up in my lust, it won't happen again… Please let me go…"

"Lin Yi… don't hit him anymore… What if he dies…" Tang Yin was shocked at Lin Yi's insanity from earlier, but still managed to find it sweet that he'd go so far for her. It didn't matter what kind of danger she was in, as long as Lin Yi was here, he'd protect her…

But, as much as Tang Yin hated Ruoming, killing him wasn't an option. She didn't want Lin Yi to go to prison because of something like this- she needed to stop him.

"Ha, he won't die. It'll be far from that, at most he'll just become retarded. But that'll be nice, he wouldn't have to spend so much money buying retard pills all the time, the bastard. I'll just step on him until he becomes retarded." Lin Yi smiled.

"No… Don't… I don't wanna be a retard… Boss Lin Yi, please let me go…" Ruoming was on the verge of tearing up- he'd rather die than become a retard!

"Scram." Lin Yi said faintly.

(In Chinese 'scram' translates into roll, as in roll away.)

"Yes, I'll scram, I'll scram right now…" Ruoming didn't dare get up and run- who knew if Lin Yi would use that to dish out more punishment at him. To make that scenario as unlikely as possible, Ruoming literally started rolling on the ground to move himself away…

"Haha…" Tang Yin couldn't help but laugh at what Ruoming looked like. She didn't want Lin Yi to use violence, but she had to admit that what was happening relieved and eased her.

If it weren't for Lin Yi, she'd still be suffering from Ruoming's teasing and messing with her every day- who knew how that'd end?

Lin Yi took one look at Uncle Yan and pulled his phone out to give Lingshan a call.

Lingshan was about to get Tiandi and Ruoguang to the traffic police department on the other side- on the surface, the two hadn't committed any crimes or anything, they'd just broken some traffic laws. Lingshan wasn't responsible for that area, and she couldn't really do anything anyway.

She'd just returned to her office when her phone rang- it was Lin Yi calling. Lingshan frowned, wondering if Lin Yi had messed up again. After all, she didn't think that he'd thought up a solution to cure Liu Bojia that quickly- he was calling for something else!

She massaged her temple and picked the phone up helplessly. "Lin Yi. What's wrong?"

"Got out of the police station and drove into an ambush. I subdued the guy, so come pick him up." Lin Yi said.

"Wha?! You got ambushed? Who is it?" Lingshan blinked.

"A guy Zou Tiandi sent, I guess." Lin Yi said faintly. "Hurry up, it's just straight ahead if you start from the police station. You'll see me if you go straight."

With that, he hung the phone up, much to Lingshan's frustration. Was that a command?? Was the guy actually giving her a command??? She was pissed off, but she was required to go- she got up and walked downstairs before driving to where Lin Yi was.

"Isn't that just an old man? Zou Tiandi sent him? You didn't hit him with your car, did you?" Lingshan suspected that Lin Yi drove right into someone and decided to pin it on Tiandi, even calling an innocent old man Tiandi's lackey. "He's supposed to be the ambusher?"

"Early phase golden class." Lin Yi shrugged. "Could you get any more braindead?"

"Early phase golden class?" Lingshan opened her mouth in shock. She took a closer look at the man, and her expression changed- this was a fugitive! This was a fugitive lying in front of her!

Lingshan was the captain of the criminal police, and would always look over the pictures of listed fugitives- as a result, she recognized this old man immediately from the countless images in her head.

Yan Qiyuan, a wanted murderer and robber on the run for more than two years, with no trails leading to him. She never expected to see him here!

"He should be a fugitive, right?" Lin Yi made a guess judging from Lingshan's reaction.

"He is!" Lingshan nodded, a trace of joy in her eyes. Lin Yi actually stumbled on and managed to capture a fugitive! This Yan Qiyuan was an early phase golden class, that was true, but he'd been disabled by Lin Yi from the looks of it, not much different from Heibao's situation.

Lin Yi patted Qiyuan on his body twice to wake him up- his face was overflowing with sadness and pain. He was an early phase golden class! How could he have been disabled so easily? Why was there someone this powerful in the mortal world in the first place? From what he could see, Lin Yi must be only around twenty years old!

Lingshan took out her handcuffs and cuffed Qiyuan. She couldn't feel any danger from him, but the guy was still a golden class threat. She didn't want to let her guard down when dealing with someone like this.

"Alright, I'm going then." Lin Yi said, preparing to leave now that things had come to an end.

"Wait, I need you to come to the station with me…" Lingshan stopped Lin Yi.

"Just say you were the one who captured him- it's not the first time anyway!" Lin Yi couldn't bother going back with Lin Yi- it was so much trouble.

"But… the criminal's testimony…" Lingshan was thinking that there might be trouble if she claimed to have captured the man when she didn't.

Lin Yi casually tapped Qiyuan on the neck a couple of times. "Alright, he's mute now, can't talk anymore."
