Peerless Bodyguard of a Stunning Beauty-Chapter 80 - 71: Monsters, Also Playing with High Tech_2

"How should I put this? It only goes to show that I, Zhao Rong, am even better at showboating than Medusa, and I do it with a bit more finesse, that’s all."

Upon hearing this, Tao Hua burst into laughter. She gave Zhao Rong a thumbs-up and said, "Hero Zhao Rong, in today’s society, there really aren’t many men like you who can keep such a cool head, who can remain so composed through honor and disgrace, unswayed by material gains or personal losses." After speaking, Tao Hua was filled with the utmost admiration for Zhao Rong.

Hearing the praise from the beautiful women, Zhao Rong dissected the python with even more vigor. Before long, he had finished the task, retrieving the Snake Crystal and the Snake Gallbladder from the python’s body.

Compared to the massive Dragon Crystal or the monolithic Demon Crystal, the Snake Crystal was much more delicate and exquisitely translucent. As for the Snake Gallbladder, Zhao Rong was more than familiar with it; he had taken a snake gallbladder oral solution for a cough when he was a child.

Holding the Snake Crystal in his right hand and the Snake Gallbladder in his left, Zhao Rong asked Tao Hua with great interest, "Tao Hua, I read online that with these two items and an Immortal Herb, one can concoct a Snake Pill that can help me level up. Is that right?"

Tao Hua nodded. "That’s right. As long as the method is correct, you can definitely refine a Snake Pill to help you level up."

"That’s great!" Zhao Rong said, delighted. "Teach me Alchemy right now. I want to level up."

Hearing that Zhao Rong wanted to learn Alchemy immediately, Tao Hua hesitated. "I’d like to teach you, but..."

Seeing her stammer and seem reluctant, the three other women started speaking up for Zhao Rong before he could even say a word.

Lili chided her, "Tao Hua, Brother Zhao Rong is our guardian! How could you not teach him Alchemy?"

Yu Lan looked at Tao Hua with righteous indignation. "Tao Hua, how can you be so selfish as to not teach Brother Zhao Rong Alchemy?"

Xuelian also glared at her. "Tao Hua, if I were you, I would selflessly pass on all my skills to Brother Zhao Rong. After all, he saved our lives."

Facing their accusations, Tao Hua explained, feeling aggrieved, "It’s not that I don’t want to teach him. The Alchemy Instructor, Johnny, is coming soon, and he already warned me not to steal his thunder or make him lose face in front of the students. So, you and Hero Zhao Rong should just wait for the upcoming Alchemy class and learn from Instructor Johnny."

Instructor Johnny was an incredibly narcissistic and conceited man. Although he was an Alchemy Instructor, he was terrified of his students’ skills surpassing his own and particularly disliked students who were more capable than him.

Hearing that the True Martial Sect had such a teacher, Zhao Rong’s eyes widened. "A teacher is one who imparts knowledge, instructs, and resolves doubts. As an Alchemy Instructor at the True Martial Sect, how can Johnny be so petty and selfish?"

Tao Hua continued, "Brother Zhao Rong, Instructor Johnny isn’t just selfish; he’s also incredibly lecherous. If he sees you, a man, accompanied by three beautiful women like Lili, Yu Lan, and Xuelian, he won’t just get jealous and deliberately make things difficult for you... he’ll even try to find ways to get close to the three of them and try to force himself on them..."

When the three women heard that the True Martial Sect had such a shameless Alchemist, they immediately declared, "I refuse to believe it! With the three of us under Brother Zhao Rong’s protection, how could that despicable Alchemist Johnny possibly take advantage of us?"

Zhao Rong then asked, "Since this Johnny is so shameless, why doesn’t our True Martial Sect just fire him and hire a new Alchemy Instructor?"

Tao Hua replied helplessly, "There’s no way around it. Johnny is a relative of a Rank-2 Mage. On top of that, he is actually quite skilled in Alchemy. So, within the entire True Martial Sect, not only does no one dare to oppose him, but very few would even think of challenging him."

Hearing how Alchemist Johnny could act so domineeringly within the True Martial Sect, Zhao Rong declared resolutely, "I refuse to believe that with my strength, I won’t be a match for this Johnny!"

With his declaration made, he silently vowed to himself. No matter what, I have to work hard at Alchemy. I won’t just surpass Johnny; I’ll drive him out.

When Tao Hua heard that Zhao Rong, a level-15 student who had never practiced Alchemy, wanted to challenge the experienced Alchemist Johnny, her eyes went wide with disbelief. "Brother Zhao Rong, I advise you to forget it," she said incredulously. "Johnny may be a lowlife, but his talent for Alchemy is truly exceptional. Ordinary people are no match for him, and you’re just a newcomer. If you think you can defeat him, there’s no chance at all."

As a senior disciple of the True Martial Sect, Tao Hua was being practical; she felt that Zhao Rong stood no chance against Alchemist Johnny. However, Zhao Rong was someone who hated to lose and loved to challenge himself. He refused to accept that a righteous person couldn’t defeat an unscrupulous one in the field of Alchemy.

Just then, Tao Hua’s phone suddenly rang. Startled to see the call was from Johnny, she answered it.

Over the phone, Johnny told her his vacation was over and he was back at the True Martial Sect. He was teaching a very important Alchemy class today and hoped she would attend. He then made a point of adding a special instruction.

"I hear a really impressive guy named Zhao Rong has joined our True Martial Sect. Not only does he cultivate quickly, but he’s also surrounded by three gorgeous women? When you come to class, you must bring that kid along. I want to see for myself if he can surpass me in Alchemy, no matter how fast he levels up or how awesome he is."

Johnny laughed confidently before continuing, "Besides, I don’t believe it. What’s so great about that Zhao Rong kid? A mere bodyguard, and he gets three top-tier beauties? Just you wait. Watch how I, Johnny, perform in front of them.

"I’m going to make those three women around Zhao Rong admire me, idolize me, respect me, fall in love with me, and then go to bed... with me..."

With that, Johnny hung up, telling Tao Hua to quickly bring Zhao Rong, Lili, Yu Lan, and Xuelian to the True Martial Sect for class.

For his part, Zhao Rong genuinely wanted to meet this Alchemy Instructor, Johnny, and see for himself just how impressive he really was.
