The Man Who Protects You

The two finally entered Pingjiang City.

The bustling streets echoed with continuous shouts.

Meanwhile, Yi Feng rode on a flying sword, shuttling through the streets with Su Yunyun.

As they passed by, various vendors and old folks greeted Yi Feng, and the way he flew past on the sword prompted waves of exclamations.

"Wow."

"Sir is truly amazing."

"Sir is indeed a powerful expert."

"Sir's flying sword, oh my, it's terrifying!"

Polite voices echoed, making Yi Feng awkwardly raise his hands.

"Thank you, everyone, thank you."

Such a scene.

But Su Yunyun behind him could only smile wryly.

After all, the mortal realm is just the mortal realm; it's just a flying sword, yet they exaggerated Yi Feng, who had no real strength, into a divine being.

She truly didn't know what to say.

However, as the Empress, she couldn't be bothered with such matters.

Nevertheless, for some reason, since entering this city, she had an uncomfortable feeling.

It seemed unsafe here?

"It must be an illusion."

Su Yunyun shook her head, self-consoling.

After all, having undergone Nirvana, she currently had no cultivation, and even her usually keen senses were blocked.

Combined with the trauma from her past life, her cautious nature made her feel uneasy.

Finally, the two arrived at the entrance of the martial arts academy.

The academy remained the same, but Yi Feng, who now often stayed on the island, attracted fewer people.

"Martial!"

Su Yunyun looked up at the martial character plaque overhead, feeling a peculiar sensation.

But she couldn't quite articulate what that feeling was.

"Let's go, let's go in."

Yi Feng smiled faintly, leading Su Yunyun into the martial arts academy.

Inside the academy, images of various weapons adorned the walls on both sides of the hall.

Seeing this, the peculiar feeling in Su Yunyun's heart resurfaced, and her sense of unease reached its peak.

"Are you sure it's safe?"

Su Yunyun couldn't help but ask.

"As solid as gold!"

Yi Feng patted his chest and reassured her.

Su Yunyun couldn't help but tug at the corners of her mouth.

Even the imperial palace of her past life, as an empress, couldn't be called as solid as gold. Yet, such a term was used for a martial arts academy...

Oh well.

Different perspectives, that's all.

No need to dwell on it.

If she really cared about these things as an ordinary person, she would have been infuriated long ago.

"Alright, settle down here. I'll return to the Heaven and Earth Sect. I'll come find you in a few days." After casually touring Su Yunyun around the martial arts academy, Yi Feng headed towards the entrance and informed her.

However, as he reached the door, he spotted a few familiar figures.

A black robe.

A dog.

A centipede.

A bear.

Besides them, there was an unfamiliar woman who seemed to be attractive.

They seemed to sense Yi Feng's gaze and vanished in a puff of smoke, as if they had done something guilty.

"Wow, these guys finally came back from their adventure!" Yi Feng couldn't help but pinch his nose, recalling something, he turned to Su Yunyun and asked, "It seems like you're a bit afraid living alone in this big martial arts hall, huh?"

"What am I afraid of?" Su Yunyun frowned slightly.

She, the majestic empress, actually felt afraid, which was quite amusing.

However, she didn't expect that her slight emotional leakage due to feeling oppressed in Pingjiang City would be caught by Yi Feng.

It must be said that although this person in front of her lacked strength, he was indeed quite attentive.

And he looked quite decent too.

If their statuses weren't so disparate, if they were of the same kind, then having him as her male pet wouldn't seem bad.

Seeing Su Yunyun's stubborn appearance, Yi Feng smiled inwardly, didn't point it out, and instead said, "I'll still find someone to protect you, it'll put my mind at ease!"

"Protect me?" Su Yunyun was momentarily stunned, then recovered and almost laughed.

Since when did this empress need a mortal to send someone to protect her?

"Mm."

"It's settled then."

Yi Feng waved his hand, didn't even wait for her response, and had already left.

Of course.

It was said to be for protection.

He actually just wanted someone to keep an eye on her. After all, it wouldn't be good if the rare ordinary disciple ran away, would it?

As for the candidate.

Yi Feng already had someone in mind.

Stepping on his flying sword, he chased after.

"Brother, brother, the master is chasing after us, what should we do!" The doggie hastily cried out.

"Oh my."

"I finally saved up a few gold coins, was just about to invite a beautiful lady for a drink, what should we do now..."

Lu Benwei looked at the approaching Yi Feng, then at the lady beside him, feeling reluctant to leave.

But after weighing the pros and cons, he could only reluctantly hold the lady's jade hand, took a bite, and said with reluctance, "My dear, wait for me, we'll sing and dance together tonight."

After saying that.

Full of unwillingness, he and his companions headed towards Yi Feng.

However.

What greeted them was Yi Feng's swift legs.

Lu Benwei was kicked to the ground.

"You scoundrel, taking advantage of women again?" Yi Feng said fiercely.

"It's a misunderstanding!" Lu Benwei looked pitiful.

"Still saying it's a misunderstanding, I saw everything!" Yi Feng reprimanded fiercely, "If I catch you taking advantage of girls again, I won't spare you."

"Come here, I have something for you to do."

After speaking, Yi Feng beckoned and walked towards the martial arts hall.

Lu Benwei hurriedly followed.

"Didn't hurt you just now, did I?" Yi Feng lifted his black robe, tapped Lu Benwei's skull, although it was very hard, he couldn't help but ask with concern.

This guy.

Although he was annoying.

He still had some feelings, huh!

"I can actually understand you, but I still have to remind you, if you don't have the strength, don't meddle in affairs beyond your capability."

Yi Feng lectured with emphasis.

"Do you understand what I mean?"

"Don't understand."

Lu Benwei looked blankly at Yi Feng.

"What I mean is, if you don't have what it takes, don't go bothering girls. When true feelings develop, with your appearance, not to mention scaring others away, how are you going to handle it, tell me, how are you going to handle it?"

Yi Feng pressed Lu Benwei with two consecutive probing questions, touching the depths of his soul.

Lu Benwei was completely baffled!

"Just think about it in your heart. Let's go, back to the martial arts school. I have something for you to take care of."

On the way, Yi Feng carefully instructed Lu Benwei to keep an eye on this woman, ensuring she didn't escape. He promised to reward him with an extra gold coin later.

Lu Benwei readily agreed.

As Yi Feng actually brought a cloaked figure along, Su Yunyun furrowed her brow.

"I've said it before, I don't need protection," Su Yunyun said firmly.

"What you say doesn't count. What if you encounter some danger?" Yi Feng scolded her with a glance, said nothing more, and left directly.

Su Yunyun stood still, dazed.

Danger?

If she really encountered danger, although she was in the Nirvana stage, would she really need a mortal to protect her?

But after some thought, she reluctantly accepted.

After all, during her Nirvana stage, she couldn't cultivate Qi, and having someone around could be useful.

So.

She glanced at Lu Benwei.

Coincidentally, Lu Benwei was walking toward her.

Taking small steps.

One step, two steps...

After circling around, he presented a small flower, appearing before Su Yunyun's eyes.

"Miss, nice to meet you for the first time."

"Let me introduce myself, the mighty and handsome Lu Benwei, also known as the scumbag."

"From today on, I will be your strong and steadfast support. With my love's protection, not even the sky falling down can hurt a single hair on you."

With that said, Lu Benwei performed a very gentlemanly bow.

Su Yunyun's face was full of black lines, goosebumps rising all over her.

She clenched her toes.

Was this short, greasy-looking, seemingly powerless guy really here to protect her?
