Even hybrid monsters have their day

Chapter 118 Bodyguard

"So that's where it was stuck." Once the problem is identified, things will be easier to solve.

As he spoke, Geng Miaowan felt a warm breath brush against her sensitive waist, causing her to tremble slightly. Then, he began fiddling with the zipper, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, she felt his hand brush against her waist several times.

In no time, he had her fully dressed in her gear. Then, he put on his own wetsuit in just two minutes, but after he was dressed, he swaggered up to her and said, "Tit for tat."

Geng Miaowan looked over and saw that he was wearing an open wetsuit, waiting for her to zip it up. Unlike hers, his zipper was in the front.

She glanced at him, thinking that this guy was really fussy. It was just a zipper, no big deal. She reached out and tugged at his wetsuit rather ungently.

Suddenly, a faint red color caught her eye, startling her so much that she forgot what she was doing.

Geng Miaowan reached out and touched Qiu Pi's left chest. The sudden touch, especially on a man's most sensitive spot, made Qiu Pi gasp. He grabbed her hand and asked, "Do you know what you're doing?"

She nodded, then immediately shook her head, pointing to the pinkish-red mark on his chest, "What is this? How did it get here?"

Qiu Pi pulled open his clothes and looked down, saying nonchalantly, "I don't know, maybe I bumped into something. It's nothing, it'll be fine in a few days."

"Is this Shang?" she asked Luan Hao, and Yi Hao gave her an affirmative answer.

Geng Miaowan stared blankly at the scar on his chest. She hadn't expected it to reappear, especially in this way on Qiu Pi. What should she do? Tell him the truth? Would he believe her?

"What's wrong?" he asked, noticing her serious expression.

Because of this incident, she lost interest in diving. Although she felt it was a bit of a pity, work was more important after all.

She thought for a moment and decided to tell him the truth, regardless of whether he believed her or not. To her surprise, Qiu Pi accepted her explanation immediately, and she thought to herself how different this child's understanding was.

When she suggested that someone should accompany him, he replied, "I don't like being followed by strange people."

“Zhuoran is not a strange person. He is a very capable exorcist,” Geng Miaowan defended Xu Ruwen.

“It’s an imposter,” Qiu Pi warned. “Besides, I don’t care who it is. I don’t like people I don’t like following me, and I don’t like the feeling of being watched.”

"Qiu Pi, this is no joke. You can't just do whatever you want." She called him by his name instead of "Young Master Qiu," indicating how seriously she took the matter.

She remembered what Luan Hao had said about those who were marked with the "Sorrow" curse. The deeper the color of the "Sorrow" curse, the greater the likelihood of its appearance. This meant that the Thousand-Faced Sorrow could find Qiu Pi at any time. If she couldn't persuade him to let Xu Ruwen protect him closely, then he might very well become the second He Chaobai.

She might not feel particularly sad or heartbroken about He Chaobai's death, but when it came to Qiu Pi… she felt she could no longer remain calm and protective. Their time together, and his actions towards her, had already stirred a slight affection within her. Although it wasn't romantic love, she genuinely considered him a friend.

Qiu Pi casually lay down on the deck, his hands behind his head. Looking at the azure sky, he said confidently, "I'm not joking. Even if that Thousand-Faced Sorrow you mentioned really comes, I can handle it."

Geng Miaowan knew he had some abilities, but the wound planted in his body was by no means simple either. It would devour anything in his body that opposed it until it had no ability to resist anymore.

However, she also knew Qiu Pi's stubbornness. If she couldn't get him to agree willingly, then even with Xu Ruwen's strength, it would be impossible to keep a close watch on him. He had a thousand different ways to shake off those following him.

What do you want in return?

Seeing the rare look of worry on her face, Qiu Pi felt a subtle sensation. He looked at her thoughtfully. Finally, he said lazily, "If it's you, I might consider it."

"Me? How could I!" Geng Miaowan almost jumped up.

She was talking about 24/7 close protection, how can a young woman like her protect a grown man like that?

"Didn't you say you're an exorcist too? If you are an exorcist, why can't you protect me?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"But...you...I...it's ultimately a bit inconvenient." Just thinking about his attitude towards her, and having to spend every day with him, made her unable to remain calm.

Qiu Pi sprang to his feet on the deck with lightning speed, so fast that Geng Miaowan didn't even have time to back away before he was already standing in front of her. He looked at her with a half-smile, "What? Are you afraid that being with me every day will make you fall in love with me unconsciously?"

"How...how could this be! How could I possibly fall in love with you!"

"If that's the case, then what do you have to be afraid of? Just treat me as someone you need to protect."

"You can let him die," Luan Hao's voice rang out calmly.

Geng Miaowan pondered his words. His meaning was clear: if they wanted him to accept their protection, then the only option was her. Although it might be a little inconvenient that they were male and she was female, as he said, they would only treat him as a mission target, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Moreover, Xu Ruwen and Xiaobai can both hide in her sea of ​​consciousness, so even if Qianmian Shang really comes, she won't worry about anything. Having everyone around will actually make it easier to deal with it.

"Okay, I can agree to that, but you have to agree to two things too."

"whats the matter?"

"I'm going to bring Xu Ruwen and Xiaobai with me."

"Sure, but they can't be in my sight."

"Also, since I'm with you, you can't do anything strange to me."

Qiu Pi readily agreed, saying, "The thing I'm least likely to do is strange things."

Geng Miaowan nodded, and he then asked her, "That's it, nothing else?"

"Yes."

Qiu Pi turned around and said, "Then let's go back and pack our things now. You can move in with me tonight."

This sounded rather awkward, but she didn't say anything in rebuttal.

He had only taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Geng Miaowan, who was following behind him, and said, "But what do you mean by the strange thing you mentioned?"

Geng Miaowan looked up, about to answer, when he leaned in and kissed her lips. Before she could react, he quickly pulled away, turning to leave as if wondering and talking to himself, "It shouldn't be this one, she didn't refuse."

Geng Miaowan roared in her heart, "You bastard, who wouldn't want to refuse? You ran away so fast, did she even have a chance to refuse?!"

"You can let him die now," Luan Hao's voice rang out indifferently. (To be continued.)
