Chapter 158: More Than Chi Wu Bargained For...

......

"You truly are a cautious one." Chi Wu interrupted Azmodeus's thoughts with her refined voice. After acquiring his attention, she continued by saying, "You don't need to worry. I put no suspicious substances inside that potion, and as for the reason I gave it to you... Well, I was hoping that you could be my bodyguard while I'm within the confines of the Emonius Triade."

"Your bodyguard?? Why would you need me to be your bodyguard when it's highly possible that you could even afford Diamond-Rank bodyguards..."

Azmodeus wasn't able to fathom why this mysterious woman would want a mere Mid-Gold Rank man as her bodyguard...

Chi Wu picked up a couple more vials with multi-colored substances inside them as she walked over to her velvet-colored bed. She sat down with her legs crossed over one another in a sensual manner.

"The reason I want you as my bodyguard is because no one else knows that I'm a Diamond Rank Potion Master. In fact, everyone in the Emonius Triade is still under the assumption that I'm in the Late-Silver Rank, which would still make me a genius in the eyes of the people."

Chi Wu patted the spot right next to her on the bed. She was obviously inviting the handsome man over in the same way that he invited her at the cake shop.

"..."

Azmodeus observed the effortlessly seductive woman while feeling Pan Nu nibble on his ears out of hunger.

He ignored the later issue and took short strides toward the alluring beauty. After which, he sat down in a debonair manner before awaiting the next words to come out of the enticingly red lips of the Crimson Witch:

"You are quite the decisive one when it really comes down to it. But regardless of that quirk, I would like to ask you if you're willing to be my bodyguard and protect me from those who know of my identity... People who could be far stronger than you—people who are rapidly nearing my location as we speak..."

"Your identity...? People are chasing after you not because of your proficiency in the art of Potion Making, but because of your identity as a special exams teacher- Oh... So it's this trope, huh?"

Azmodeus was able to acquire a good sum of knowledge from all the heroes he absorbed, and through that knowledge, he understood many different things.

Chi Wu didn't understand the questions being asked of her, but there was no harm in answering them, so that's exactly what she did.

However, her eyes would soon be pried open with the next words that came out the mouth of the Crimson Devil Lord...

"I broke through to the Gold Rank a few days ago and have been in the Astral Plane for a total of two and a half months." A small smile seemed to emerge on his face, as he was just waiting for the doubt.

And...

"How can that be!?"

There it was.

"You couldn't possibly have reached the Gold Rank within two and a half months! And it's even more impossible that you were on the precipice of the Middle-Gold Rank without more than a thousand years of refining your body!"

Chi Wu had long since leaped up off the bed, interrupting the alluring view that was just there.

But luckily for all the viewers out there, all the freaking out she was doing caused her milky white cannons to ricochet, creating an absolutely devastating sight for all the virgins who tuned in...

Azmodeus glanced at her enticing movements for a moment before saying, "You may not believe me just yet, but not a single word I've said so far has been a lie."

"...You're not kidding..."

Chi Wu didn't know what to make of this revelation, as such a thing truly being the case would mean...

It would mean that the degree of genius that she wanted to hire on a whim turned out to be so much more than she bargained for...
