Beauty and the Bodyguard

At the thought, Yuanyuan spoke up, “Fighter Li gave me some money earlier- come to my house later and take it, take it and run! They might not be able to find you. I’m afraid that Fighter Li’s men won’t let you go!”

“Of course I wouldn’t be afriad of trash like that- if they were to come, I would just kill them one by one!” Goudan did not care about the people from the arena, “Plus, if I leave, what would you guys do? What if they tried take their revenge out on you, wouldn’t I have caused trouble for you isntead?”

“That’s…” Yuanyuan didn’t think that far- what was the worst they could do, kill her?

Yet, who would want to die if they had another option? One look at that nonchalant look on Goudan’s face and she wanted him to stay- but she didn’t want to cause him trouble!

“That’s, this, those- I don’t have a place to live anyway! It’d actually suit me fine to live at your place a couple of days!” Goudan said honestly. He had no money and no ID, and he even lost Lin Yi Boss’ address. Where was he supposed to go?

“Kid, you really killed Fighter Li?” Yu Ren had been sighing this whole time.

“That Fighter Li was a piece of crap- I killed him with one shot!” Goudan nodded.

“Then what are you going to do in the future? Why did you come to Songshan?” Yu Ren felt that Goudan was a nice person- he started thinking about their future plan. If he could let Goudan stay at his shop and work there, it’d be a good thing! The guy looked strong, and he’d be a great helper.

Yu Ren’s Five Gold Shop sold some construction materials too, but he couldn’t move the materials to his customer’s doors, so business wasn’t great. This Goudan looked like he had a lot of strength, so carrying a toilet bowl around or something wouldn’t be trouble at all! He wanted him to stay!

His presence would also protect them from their enemies- what’s there to lose?

“I… Uncle, to tell the truth, I came here to look for my boss, but my money and the address were in the same package, and the girl scammed it from me! I can’t contact him now, too- I don’t know what I’m supposed to do,” Goudan suddenly remembered this stupid thing that happened. He felt down.

Lin Yi was still waiting for his medicine, and great, he lost his address and couldn’t give it to him!

“Oh? What about this, what if you stay at my shop and help out first, live a while at my place? After settling down, you could go look for your boss?” Yu Ren thought.

“Alright, uncle- don’t worry! I won’t just freeload off of you, I’ll work! I’m strong!” Goudan nodded happily.

“Alright, it’s a deal! What’s your name, and what’s your boss’ name?” Yu Ren nodded. He could even save money if he didn’t need to pay him now!

“My name is Zhou Jiaming, my boss is called Lin Yi!” Goudan said.

“Lin Yi… I don’t know him,” Yu Ren shook his head. Songshan was big, unlike the village, “Maybe we should go to my house first?”

“That sounds great!” Goudan nodded.

Yuanyuan didn’t disagree with how things were developing- she was actually a little happy when her father suggested this! She didn’t like him in that way or anything just yet, but it was hard not to have some interest in the hero who saved the damsel in distress. She didn’t mind him living at their house at all.

And so he did.

Yuanyuan’s mother was always looking sour these past few days- she knew about the thing that happened to Yu Ren and her daughter, and while she realy hated Yu Ren for going gambling, there was nothing she could do but await their fate!

Their thief-prevention door had been repaired already, but even the cheapest option cost them three hundred- it was enough to hurt her heart.

She knew that there wasn’t much time left for Yuanyuan to be in the house- Fighter Li was about to bring her away, and so she resigned her housemaid job to stay with Yuanyuan a couple of days.

She finished cooking and waited for Yuanyuan and Yu Ren to come home, but they were nowhere to be found. It was already half an hour past the normal off-shift time, and she couldn’t help but give Yuanyuan a call.

“Mom, what is it?” Yuanyuan’s voice was a lot relaxed- she felt so stressed these couple of days, but Fighter Li’s death cleared everything up. Freedom sure felt amazing!

“Yuanyuan, where are you? Why aren’t you home yet?” Miss Yu took a breath of relief once she heard her daughter’s voice. She thought that Fighter Li had taken her already.

“Mom, dad and I are coming home- there’ll be a guest today. I’ll tell you the good news when I get back!” Yuanyuan said as she looked at Goudan.

“Oh? Good news?” Miss Yu blinked. Looking at the situation they were in, there really wasn’t much that could be considered good news. Could it be that Fighter Li’s situation had changed? She quickly asked the question, ” Yuanyuan, has there been a change with Fighter Li?”

“I’m on the subway right now, can’t talk much. Tell you later,” Yuanyuan wasn’t stupid- the people dying in the arena were plenty, but she couldn’t just talk about that in public.

The arena, on the other hand, was in a massive state of panic!

Scorpion didn’t expect that the godlike Fighter Li would just get one-shotted by some ‘Grandpa Goudan’! Wasn’t this too unrealistic?

He quickly got the staff to drag Fighter Li’s corpse down and let the fighters from before continue their match, so the bets wouldn’t be interrupted. He quickly ran to the office of the arena after getting the preliminary things sorted out.

Jianwen also saw what happened from the cameras- Fighter Li’s death really was out of his expectations, especially with how he died! Wasn’t he a Mystic mid phase peak, a physical practitioner? How did he die just like that?

“Master Wen, bad news! Fighter Li was just killed!” Scorpion stumbled into the office.

“I know, I saw the whole thing!” Jianwen frowned. He had been watching everything from the cameras from the moment Goudan entered- he didn’t think that he’d be so powerful!
