4: Chapter 4 Rewarding the Beautiful Bodyguard

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task: presenting the heroine Chen Xue with an unforgettable gift and forcefully annulling the engagement. The host receives 3000 villain points and one Bone-Forging Pill."

"Note: The Bone-Forging Pill can improve human bone structure and enhance aptitude. Consuming it below the Transcendent will increase one's strength."

Just after returning to the villa, Chu Yuan received the gift sent by the system.

Chu Yuan was quite satisfied with this reward.

The key was that he had taught Chen Xue a harsh lesson, which could be considered venting the original owner's frustration.

As for Chen Xue being the Protagonist, Chu Yuan declared: "If this young master says she is, then she is. If this young master says she isn't, then she is nothing but a dog."

Although the Bone-Forging Pill was useless for his own Transcendent, it was useful for Zuo Shishi.

"This is a gift for you."

Zuo Shishi's loyalty to him was unquestionable, and there would be many matters in the future that he would need to entrust to her.

Therefore, Chu Yuan did not mind helping Zuo Shishi improve her strength.

Zuo Shishi already possessed the strength of the Early Stage of Dark Energy, which was not to be underestimated.

To have such strength at just twenty-two years old, she was definitely considered a genius.

Although she was inferior to the Protagonist Lin Tianyang in terms of realm, do not forget that Zuo Shishi was even younger.

In terms of martial arts talent, she was not inferior to the Protagonist at all, and perhaps even surpassed him.

Moreover, as the Protagonist, Lin Tianyang's resources were unknown how many times greater than Zuo Shishi's.

It could be said without reservation that the Protagonist Lin Tianyang's current strength was inseparable from his highly skilled master and the accumulation of consuming large amounts of medicinal herbs.

Zuo Shishi took the pill in her hand, looked at Chu Yuan, and then swallowed it without hesitation.

"You didn't even ask what this was before eating it. Aren't you worried that this young master might be trying to harm you?"

"Since I can remember, I have sworn loyalty to the Chu Family. My Zuo family has been servants of the Chu Family for generations. Even if you want to kill me, I would never resist."

Zuo Shishi grew up in the Chu Family, and her father was the head steward for the original owner's father.

Furthermore, Chu Yuan understood the original novel and knew of this father and daughter's loyalty to the Chu Family.

This was why Chu Yuan was willing to trust Zuo Shishi without hesitation.

"What is this?"

The medicinal effect of the Bone-Forging Pill soon took hold.

A layer of dark filth appeared on Zuo Shishi's body; this was the effect of cleansing the marrow and bones, expelling all toxins from her body and helping to promote bone development.

This powerful force directly allowed Zuo Shishi to break through from the Early Stage of Dark Energy to the Late Stage of Dark Energy.

Her realm had increased so easily?

Not only was Zuo Shishi stunned, but even Chu Yuan was taken aback.

This realm improvement was faster than drinking water.

However, the filth that had emerged on her body made her feel quite uncomfortable all over.

Zuo Shishi was also a woman who loved cleanliness, especially when in front of Chu Yuan.

Even with her calm temperament, she felt a bit embarrassed at this moment.

"You go to the bathroom to wash up first."

Zuo Shishi nodded quickly, feeling relieved.

As she walked towards the bathroom, she paused and turned back, saying: "Thank you."

In this "thank you," her tone was much gentler, and even the coldness on her face had diminished slightly.

This was the first time Zuo Shishi had been so polite since staying by Chu Yuan's side.

Zuo Shishi did not know exactly how high the value of that pill was, but it was definitely extremely precious.

That Chu Yuan was able to give such a precious pill to her to consume truly moved her.

"If you want to thank me, mere words are definitely not enough. Do more things for me in the future."

As Chu Yuan's personal assistant, there were some matters that he still needed to entrust to Zuo Shishi to handle.

"Sit down and chat with me."

Greeting Zuo Shishi to sit down, Chu Yuan turned on the TV.

Although he was watching TV, Chu Yuan's gaze remained fixed on Zuo Shishi.

He reached out with a large hand, gently wrapped his arm around Zuo Shishi's slender waist, and pulled her into his embrace.

Zuo Shishi's expression froze, and she stood there stunned, but she did not put up any resistance.

Chu Yuan was not in a hurry to do anything to Zuo Shishi; he was not that desperate yet, he just simply wanted to hold her.

Chu Yuan understood that even if he did something more excessive, Zuo Shishi would not offer any resistance.

However, it was still necessary to let Zuo Shishi have an adjustment period so that things could truly come to fruition naturally.

After realizing that Chu Yuan did not make any further moves, Zuo Shishi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Yuan's current actions indeed made her feel a bit awkward, but she would get used to it in the future.

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

If it were usual times, let alone sitting for an hour, Chu Yuan wouldn't even be able to sit for half an hour.

But right now, with a beauty in his arms, he felt that time was flying by.

During this time, Chu Yuan was also pondering his next step.

Although Chen Xue was the heroine, in Chu Yuan's eyes, she was just an insignificant small character.

With his current strength, crushing her was simpler than stepping on an ant.

He also didn't want to spend too much energy on her.

It was the Protagonist Lin Tianyang who was more interesting; when he descended the mountain, he should have been at the Mid-Stage of Dark Energy, skilled in both medicine and martial arts.

Among the younger generation, he indeed had some capability.

The most critical point was that he also had a terrifying master. According to the original plot introduction, that person should be a Transcendent expert.

Back then, relying on his medical skills and martial arts, who knows how many people had received his favors.

Now, all of these had become Lin Tianyang's trump cards.

"The Protagonist is the Protagonist. Others have to work their way up from being a small soldier, but he is doing well; as soon as he descends the mountain, he has all kinds of resources, and the big shots behind him have arranged everything for him."

Chu Yuan sneered, yet his face remained indifferent.

In the face of absolute strength, no matter how many trump cards one has, it is all in vain.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering a random task. The Protagonist Lin Tianyang is about to descend the mountain for training. As the ultimate villain, how can you not welcome him warmly?"

"The host should give Lin Tianyang an original welcome gift, openly frame the Protagonist, and get him arrested."

"Task reward: 3000 villain points and one random item."

Giving Lin Tianyang a gift?

This was actually quite interesting.

A welcome gift was indeed something that should be given; otherwise, wouldn't it seem impolite?

As for how to execute it.

Do not forget, besides being a big villain, Chu Yuan had another identity: a young master of the Shanghai Chu Family.

Chu Yuan couldn't figure out why the original owner, as a young master of the Shanghai Chu Family, who could mobilize unimaginable resources, couldn't easily crush a Protagonist who had just descended the mountain.

But the result was that the original owner's schemes were all neutralized by the Protagonist time and time again, and in the end, the original owner was even ruined by the Protagonist.

With the power of the Chu Family, just by lifting a finger, they could easily crush Lin Tianyang.

"Little bunny, be good, open the door..."

A burst of mobile phone ringtone interrupted Chu Yuan's train of thought.

"Mom's call. Could it be that someone has been whispering in her ear?"

Chu Yuan's lips curled upward.

"Hello, Mom, is something the matter?"

"A-Yuan, news has come from the Chen family saying that you slapped Xue'er and also want to annul the engagement with her. What exactly is going on?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was a bit stern; she was definitely suspecting that her son was up to some mischief again.
