Peerless Bodyguard of a Stunning Beauty-Chapter 228 - 193: The Black Phantom

After settling the poisoned Lili, Zhao Rong and his assistant prepared to leave.

Yu Lan was applying a hot compress to Lili's forehead with a towel. She turned to the departing Zhao Rong and said, "Brother Zhao Rong, if the Mermaid asks you to offer your body, you absolutely must not do it…"

Zhao Rong, holding an oxygen tank for the dive, replied, "Don't worry, Beauty Yu Lan. With my assistant around, I won't sell my body so easily."

Hearing this, Xuelian, who was by Lili's side holding her hand, opened her phone. She started browsing an online store and said, "Brother Zhao Rong, Sister Yu Lan and I are going to buy a male virginity detector. When you get back, we're definitely going to test you. If you lose your virginity, Sister Yu Lan and I will never let you hear the end of it."

Zhao Rong was trying on his oxygen mask when he heard that they even sold male virginity detectors online. He was completely stunned. He looked at the phone in Xuelian's hand and said, "Holy crap, is there anything you can't buy on there? Now I'm curious, do they have female virginity detectors too?"

Xuelian searched on her phone. "Of course they do," she said.

When the assistant heard that you could even buy female virginity detectors online, his interest was piqued. He said, "Beauty Xuelian, could you help me buy one of those?"

Hearing this, Beauty Xuelian looked at the assistant in surprise. "Assistant, what do you want that for?"

The assistant smirked. "To test you beauties, of course."

Hearing his shameless intentions, Beauty Yu Lan grabbed a lingerie drying rack from the bedside and threw it at him. "Die, you pervert!" she yelled.

After bidding farewell to the three women, Zhao Rong and his assistant set out to find the school's secret chamber. However, after wandering around the campus for a while, they could only look at each other in dismay, clueless as to where it could be.

Just then, Wang Meili approached from nearby. She was fully geared up. "Brother Zhao Rong, I know where the secret chamber is. Let me take you there."

Thrilled to hear that Wang Meili knew the location, Zhao Rong said excitedly, "Since you know where it is, Sister Meili, please lead the way."

At his words, Wang Meili led Zhao Rong and his assistant to the laboratory building.

When Zhao Rong saw that the secret chamber was located beneath the haunted laboratory building, he couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath. Damn, of all the places for a secret chamber, it has to be under the lab building. They really know how to pick a spot.

Wang Meili led them into the laboratory building's basement, which was incredibly gloomy and terrifying. As the three of them walked through, Wang Meili pointed to an abandoned library not far away. "Brother Zhao Rong," she said, "the secret chamber is right underneath that library."

Hearing that the secret chamber was beneath the abandoned library, Zhao Rong strode forward excitedly. He said as he walked, "To think I've searched high and low for this, only to find it so easily!"

Just as Zhao Rong and his assistant were about to push open the door to the abandoned library, Wang Meili stopped at the entrance, her face pale with terror. "Brother Zhao Rong," she said, "I came to this library once to borrow a book. There's a librarian in there who… I think is a ghost. We have to be very careful."

Hearing that there really was a ghost under the laboratory building, Zhao Rong froze for a moment. Damn, does this mean I have to go ghost-hunting again today?

With that thought, he pushed open the door of the abandoned library and walked inside. The nervous assistant followed closely behind him. After they were both inside, Wang Meili entered as well.

Zhao Rong turned back to look at Wang Meili. "Sister Meili, why did you follow us in? You've already brought us here, you should go somewhere safe."

Wang Meili shook her head. "It's strange… this place feels so familiar, like I've been here before. No, I have to go with you. I need to solve this mystery in my heart."

When the assistant heard that Wang Meili was familiar with this haunted place, he immediately joked, "Sister Meili, you wouldn't happen to be that so-called Mermaid, would you?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Suddenly, before the assistant could finish speaking, a hunched dark figure flashed in front of the three of them and immediately disappeared without a trace.

"Oh no, a ghost!" the assistant shouted, diving behind Zhao Rong.

Wang Meili, however, drew a Peach Wood Sword from her waist. "Brother Zhao Rong, I have a Peach Wood Sword! Don't be afraid!"

Seeing that Wang Meili had come prepared, Zhao Rong took the Peach Wood Sword from her. "Sister Meili, thank goodness you brought this. Otherwise, we wouldn't have a proper ghost-hunting tool today."

Zhao Rong was only halfway through his sentence when the hunched shadow floated past him again like a phantom. When the assistant saw the dark specter float past again, he was so frightened that he scrambled to hide in front of Zhao Rong. "Damn it," he stuttered, "this place really is haunted…!"

"Look at that shadow!" Wang Meili also said fearfully. "It's drifting back and forth over the ground. It's just like a ghost."

Just as terror gripped them, the dark specter vaguely drifted past their side. In a flash, Zhao Rong leaped up and launched a flying kick at the shadow, knocking it to the ground with a cry.

Zhao Rong lunged forward, yanked the dark figure up from the ground, and dealt three sharp slaps across its face. "Damn it!" he roared. "Did you really think we'd be scared of you just because you're wearing all black and zipping around on a scooter?"

When the assistant saw Zhao Rong kick the "ghost" to the ground, he immediately rushed over. "Holy crap! We see ghosts on TV all the time, but I've never seen one in real life! Let me see what a ghost actually looks like!"

Wang Meili also ran over, curious. "They say it's better to believe in ghosts than a man's silver tongue. Looks like I have to start believing in ghosts now."

As the assistant and Wang Meili came closer to inspect the 'ghost,' Zhao Rong landed another heavy punch in its stomach. "Damn you! Pretending to be a ghost to scare people! I'll beat you to death!"

Suddenly, the figure pulled off its hood, revealing a person underneath. He looked at Zhao Rong and begged for mercy. "Sir, spare me! I was just bored and thought it would be fun to scare people. That's why I pretended to be a ghost, haunting the lab building…"

Hearing that the "ghost" was just a person, the assistant lunged forward. He grabbed the guy's hair, yanked his head down, and kneed him twice in the face. "Damn it! You scared me to death! I really thought you were a ghost, but you were just some loser in a costume?"

The assistant's two knee strikes sent the man sprawling to the ground. Bleeding from his head, he pleaded, "Sirs, spare my life! I was just playing tricks, I didn't do anything seriously wrong! Please, let me go…"

Just then, Wang Meili charged over as well. She kicked the man in the chest with her high heel. "Damn it! So you're the one who's been scaring everyone in the lab building every day? It wasn't a ghost at all?"

Sent flat on his back by Wang Meili's kick, the man clutched his chest, crying out in pain. "Three great heroes, if you let me go… I'll tell you an earth-shattering secret!"

Hearing this, Zhao Rong, the assistant, and Wang Meili froze. They stared at the man and said in unison, "Speak. Or we'll end you."
