Peerless Bodyguard of a Stunning Beauty-Chapter 338 - 300: The Tianshan Snow Lotus, Real or Fake Detector - Part 2

"I advise you to just stick to being a messenger. A person's appearance isn't so easily changed..." Zhao Rong said, pulling a fake Snow Lotus and its counterfeit seeds from his robes. He handed them to the messenger before him. "This is the Snow Lotus the Gang Leader needs for healing... and these are the seeds. Take them and don't lose them."

When the messenger saw the golden, glittering Snow Lotus in Zhao Rong's hand, he exclaimed with delight, "My heavens, is this the legendary Snow Lotus? It's so beautiful, so breathtaking..." As he spoke, the messenger took the Snow Lotus and its seeds from Zhao Rong's hand.

When Xue Lianmei saw Zhao Rong actually hand the Snow Lotus and its seeds to the messenger from the Wild Wolf Sect, she whipped her head around and whispered, "Brother Zhao Rong, didn't we agree to deceive this messenger? Why did you give the Snow Lotus and its seeds to him? Aren't you just aiding a tyrant, enabling the Wild Wolf Sect's Gang Leader to heal, only for him to continue his evil deeds and harm society?"

Zhao Rong avoided the messenger's gaze and whispered back to Xue Lianmei, "The Snow Lotus I gave him is fake, and the seeds are poisonous..."

Hearing they were poisonous, Xue Lianmei nodded happily. It would be best to poison all of them. That'll stop the Wild Wolf Sect from preying on people and harming the community.

Meanwhile, the messenger, holding the Snow Lotus and its seeds, excitedly thanked Zhao Rong. "Grandfather Zhang Bin, thank you so much for helping me complete my mission so splendidly! When I get back to the Wild Wolf Sect in Xijing City, I'll be sure to put in a good word for you with the Gang Leader."

Zhao Rong feigned pleasure and said, "There's no need for that. Just remember, after the Gang Leader uses this Snow Lotus, he must plant these seeds and continue to consume the new flowers that grow. The medicinal effects of these Snow Lotuses are extraordinary. They're not only good for cultivation and enhancing physical health, but they also boost a man's vigor..."

Hearing that the Snow Lotus could boost his vigor, the messenger secretly tore off a small piece of a petal, tossed it into his mouth, and said while chewing, "Grandfather Zhang Bin, I'm just sneaking a tiny piece. You won't tell anyone, will you?"

After speaking, he thought to himself, My wife, you're always mocking me, saying I'm not man enough. Now that I've eaten the Snow Lotus and boosted my vigor, just you wait until I get home. I'll have you begging for mercy...

Zhao Rong nodded and smiled. "No problem. If you want to eat some, a little bit is fine. Just don't eat all the petals before you get back to Xijing City."

The messenger nodded happily. As he bid Zhao Rong farewell, he said, "This trip to the Western Regions has been a true joy. Not only did I find the Snow Lotus for the Gang Leader, but it also cured my long-standing issues with impotence and premature ejaculation..."

"It's great that you've completed your mission," Zhao Rong congratulated him. "You should hurry back now."

Xue Lianmei, standing beside them, asked with concern, "How are you getting back?"

The messenger pulled a train ticket from his pocket. "By taking the green-skinned train, of course."

Zhao Rong teased him, "For someone as impressive as you, I'd expect at least a private jet escort."

Xue Lianmei added, "Even without a private jet, you should at least have a Mercedes sedan as your personal car."

Hearing Zhang Bin and the beautiful woman beside him mock him, the messenger said awkwardly, "Ah, you don't know the half of it. The Wild Wolf Sect has been declining for years. Our funding shrinks every year. Forget a private jet—I had to pay for this green-skinned train ticket out of my own pocket, and no one is going to reimburse me."

Hearing how destitute the Wild Wolf Sect had become, Zhao Rong couldn't help but think to himself, Sooner or later, I will completely uproot the Wild Wolf Sect from Xijing City and make those evildoers vanish forever...

Watching the messenger's receding figure, Zhao Rong waved and said, "Safe travels. I hope we meet again."

The messenger called back joyfully, "We shall meet again another day!"

After the messenger was gone, Zhao Rong pulled the real Snow Lotus and genuine seeds from his robes and showed them to Xue Lianmei. "Xuelian, look. This is the real Snow Lotus, and these are the real seeds. The ones I gave the messenger were all fakes, and poisonous ones at that."

Hearing this, Xuelian suddenly voiced her doubt. "Brother Zhao Rong, how can you be so sure that this Snow Lotus and these seeds are genuine?"

Zhao Rong puffed out his chest confidently. "I heard it directly from Zhang Bin himself."

Xuelian frowned. "And you think Zhang Bin's words can be trusted?"

Suddenly, a thought struck Zhao Rong. Could that kid Zhang Bin have tricked me again?

He immediately took out his phone, opened a shopping app called Mou Bao, and said, "Xuelian, I'll buy a Snow Lotus authenticity tester right now on Mou Bao. One test, and we'll know if this flower and these seeds are real or fake."

When Xue Lianmei heard that Zhao Rong was going to buy something on Mou Bao, she became very curious how a package could possibly be delivered from the mainland to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. Feeling the task was impossible, she said, "Brother Zhao Rong, I'm sure you can find a tester on Mou Bao, but I'm curious how the seller will ship it to you from the mainland. Even if they do ship it, who knows how long it will take to get here?"

Listening to her worries, Zhao Rong chuckled. "Xue Lianmei, you really are underestimating modern delivery services. It doesn't matter that we're at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. Even if we were at the base of the Himalayas, if we buy something on Mou Bao, the seller can get it into our hands immediately."

Hearing this, Xue Lianmei said disbelievingly, "Brother Zhao Rong, is that really possible? It sounds like magic."

Zhao Rong smiled. "It's even more magical than you can imagine. If you don't believe me, just watch. I'll show you."

With that, he began searching for "Snow Lotus authenticity tester" on the Mou Bao app. Thousands of results appeared instantly. After sorting by sales volume, Zhao Rong chose a popular tester. Before completing the purchase, he added the seller on WeChat and asked for free shipping with immediate, door-to-door delivery. The seller readily agreed, guaranteeing they would ship it right away if he bought it now.

Hearing this, Zhao Rong immediately clicked "buy." After paying, he looked at Xue Lianmei and said, "Xue Lianmei, how many minutes do you think it'll take for our package to arrive?"

Xue Lianmei sounded skeptical. "Brother Zhao Rong, we're in the Gobi Desert. Not only are we far from the mainland, but the GPS reception is also poor. If you're saying the seller is going to deliver it to our hands, I'd say it'll take at least half a year."

Zhao Rong, however, was already activating his phone's satellite positioning. "Even if GPS is inaccurate, we still have the Beidou positioning system."

As he spoke, he turned on the Beidou system. Not even two minutes later, Zhao Rong suddenly saw a package flying through the sky. He pointed at it. "Xue Lianmei, look! Our package is about to land!"

When Xue Lianmei saw the package in the sky, she was completely stunned. "Brother Zhao Rong," she asked, "what method did the seller use to get a package from thousands of miles away to us so quickly?"

Zhao Rong chuckled. "Xue Lianmei, don't be so anxious. Let me explain it all to you..."
