Beauty and the Bodyguard

7483 Chapter 7481-

“That’s great! Then you can listen to my command now!”

Mike’s thoughts jumped faster, and he suddenly became arrogant again!

“You’re thinking too much. I did promise your father to protect you, but I’m not your family’s guard. I have no obligation to listen to your command!”

Lin Yi smiled coldly as he took over command of the team,”if you want to go back alive, then be good!”

“What do you mean?”

Mike was embarrassed. For so many years, there had not been a guard who dared to make a scene in front of him. What was the background of this eighth brother?

But Mike wasn’t stupid-the more confused he was, the more he didn’t want to act rashly, especially in this strange environment. Who knew if Lin Yi was lying to them?

“Nothing much. You guys wait here first. I’ll go take a look around. I’ll come and pick you up after I find a place.”

Lin Yi said forcefully.

The island didn’t look big, but there were mountains of different heights. It wouldn’t be easy to walk through the entire Island quickly. Mike and Justina were martial artists with some strength, but they were burdens to Lin Yi.

“How can we do that! Who knows if you’ll keep it for yourself after you find it!”

She grabbed Lin Yi’s arm and said,”If you think we’re slow and a burden to you, then you can carry me! You must be secretly happy to be able to carry such a beautiful woman like me, right?”

Lin Yi’s mouth twitched-Justina’s eyes were telling him to take advantage of her, but Lin Yi didn’t care.

If he had to choose between the two, it wouldn’t be Justina. After all, Lin Yi’s main target was Mike.

“Don’t even think about carrying you. If you want to follow me, then follow me. Don’t be in a hurry. Walk slowly!”

Lin Yi shrugged nonchalantly before suddenly pointing behind the two.”A mermaid!”

“Where?”

Both Justina and Mike were pleasantly surprised. They jumped and turned around to see … Where were the mermaids? What happened to the mermaids? Why was there not a single strand of hair!

The moment the two turned around, Lin Yi let out a smile as if his plan had succeeded. He quickly activated the thousand changes of wood forest, leaving behind a clone while his main body turned into an essence spirit and disappeared.

God knew how long it would take for him to find the Mermaid’s Tears if he continued to dawdle with Justina and Mike. It was better to look for it himself first.

With a clone around, it could also provide a certain level of protection. Under normal circumstances, Mike would not be in danger.

“Are you lying to us again?”

Justina turned around and saw that Lin Yi was still there. She grabbed his arm,”You want to take the opportunity to shake us off? I’m telling you, stop dreaming! I’ll be watching you!”

“Oh, I must have been seeing things! Why don’t we take a break? We’re not in a hurry anyway!”

Lin Yi said with a smile. He wanted to tell her that he was already dreaming, but she didn’t know!

On one side, Lin Yi’s doppelganger was moving slowly like an old man, on the other side, Lin Yi’s real body was swiftly sweeping through the mountains.

Lin Yi searched every cave he found, but he didn’t find anything useful.

Soon, Lin Yi’s original body arrived at the highest point of the island.

Lin Yi could see the entire Island clearly from where he was.

Merfolk?

Lin Yi turned his eyes to the other side of the island-there was a Mermaid statue there!

Or reef!

It was about five hundred meters away from the beach!

If Lin Yi wasn’t standing at the highest point, he wouldn’t be able to tell.

Perhaps the mermaid’s tear was related to this statue?

With this discovery, Lin Yi immediately flew to the other side of the island and arrived in front of the statue in a few seconds.

Just as he had expected, it was not easy to tell that it was a mermaid from below.

Because the appearance of the whole reef was relatively rough, it was more appropriate to say that it was a naturally formed stone than a statue.

Lin Yi flew around the eight-meter-tall reef a few times, but didn’t see any mechanisms or doors. It seemed to be just a normal reef that looked like a mermaid.

But as Lin Yi got closer, he felt that this wasn’t an ordinary reef!

There must be something unusual here that he had not noticed!

The sea?

Since there was nothing on the surface of the sea, then let’s look below the surface!

Lin Yi’s essence spirit flashed and disappeared into the sea.

There was a dome above the island, blocking the water-Lin Yi had some idea what was going on down there.

Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, it could be considered to have verified this guess!

As expected, the bottom part was also a semicircle, and when combined with the top part, it was a complete ball!

In other words, the seawater around the mermaid Island was actually stagnant water in this ball, which was not connected to the seawater outside!

Therefore, there were no other exits to leave the mermaid Island. The only way in and out was probably the vortex passage that opened once every thirty years.

After realizing this, Lin Yi started to worry. If the whirlpool tunnel closed when they came in, would the three of them have to stay on the mermaid Island for another thirty years?

He didn’t slow down as he thought about all this-he’d quickly searched the bottom of the island, but found nothing.

More importantly, the strange feeling disappeared after Lin Yi left the reef for two hundred meters, and the feeling appeared again when he returned to this range.

Obviously, the mermaid Reef was still a secret!

Lin Yi returned to the surface and flew around the mermaid Reef. He looked at it inch by inch, but still didn’t find any clues.

Why was it like this?

Lin Yi couldn’t wrap his head around it, and wondered if he should bring Justina over. The girl seemed to have a thing for Mermaid’s Tears, and maybe she’d have a way.

He quickly flew back to the group of seniors, and when the two weren’t paying attention, he dispelled his clone and returned to the group.

“This mountain path isn’t easy to walk on. Why don’t we go around and look at the other side of the island?”

Lin Yi’s goal was clear as soon as he came back-he was going to take the two to the mermaid Reef.

“Why do we have to take a detour to the other side? Isn’t it the same if we go up the mountain first and then climb over it?”

Justina was a little confused as to why Lin Yi changed his mind.”Moreover, if we reach the highest point, we can see the entire Island clearly. It will be very helpful for us to find our target.”

Lin Yi, of course, couldn’t say that he’d already seen it, so he had to come up with some other excuse.

“I don’t think there’s any point in going up the mountain. Think about it, mermaids are naturally fond of the ocean, so how could they possibly go to the top of the mountain to rest? Therefore, it’s definitely a waste of time for us to go up the mountain. Let’s go to the other side of the sea and take a look. There might be a surprise!”

Lin Yi said confidently, having proven himself. “There’s one more thing. Have you thought about it? When would the passageway that only opened once every 30 years close? How long before it closes? What if we can’t go back with all this dilly-dally?”
