Chapter 30: The Killer, The Security Guard, and The Pure School Beauty
[Location: Riverside Luxury Mansion – Private Study]
"System, activate the [Son of Destiny Identifier] at a cost of 10,000 Destiny Points!"
Shen Anyu gave the command, his voice steady in the quiet room. A faint hum resonated in the air as the divine tool activated.
A holographic waterfall of information appeared before Shen Anyu, visible only to him. It scrolled rapidly, locking onto a target.
[Name: Wei Yun]
[Age: 28]
[Background: The Child of Destiny from the novel 'Killer Bodyguard and Beautiful School Belle.' Wei Yun, known in the underworld as the "God of Death," was a top killer king in the Dark World. He has returned to the city incognito to become a humble school security guard. He experiences twists and turns, misunderstandings, and dangers with the pure and innocent school belle, Jiang Linlin, a girl next door he secretly protects. Ultimately leading to a pure love story with a happy ending…]
[Cultivation: Innate Peak (Actual combat strength rivals a Martial Arts Grandmaster due to lethal techniques)]
[Abilities: Extraordinary Assassination Skill, Cloud Shadow Sword Art, Cloud Shadow Step, Master Disguise, Poison Formulation, Firearms Mastery…]
[Personality: Extremely forbearing, low-key, brooding. No longer wishes for a life of bloodshed. Vows to protect Jiang Linlin for life as penance.]
[Items: Yu Chang Sword (Ancient Artifact), Human Skin Mask, Poison Needles…]
[Associated Female Lead: The girl next door, pure school belle Jiang Linlin!]
[Destiny Value: 1.5 million]
…
"It really is a Child of Destiny! The third one!"
Shen Anyu's expression brightened considerably, revealing a hint of genuine joy. It was like finding a rare Pokémon in the tall grass.
He was starting to feel a bit bad about exploiting Xia Liu so thoroughly; the poor "Divine Doctor" was running dry. Now, a fresh, vibrant field of leeks had finally arrived, ready for harvest.
However, seeing that Wei Yun, who was at the formidable [Innate Peak], only had 1.5 million Destiny Points, while Xia Liu, who was merely at [Innate Initial], had 2 million, Shen Anyu pondered.
"It seems the amount of Destiny Value cannot be entirely determined by cultivation Realm."
"After all, Xia Liu is a Divine Doctor, possessing [Extraordinary Poison Skill] and [Extraordinary Medical Skill]. His potential impact on the world is higher."
In fact, if Xia Liu hadn't been targeted early by Shen Anyu, and his dangerous belongings hadn't been confiscated by the detention center guards, leaving him no room to display his [Extraordinary Poison Skill], he might even have been able to poison an ordinary [Innate Peak] expert to death with a handshake!
Wei Yun was a killer. Xia Liu was a savior (and a poisoner). Their values reflected their potential influence.
"The female lead is here!"
Just then, looking through the magical surveillance feed provided by the identifier, Shen Anyu saw Wei Yun's demeanor change. The man who had been lazily lying on a recliner basking in the sun suddenly became alert, excited, and joyful. His gaze fixed on a beautiful young woman walking through the campus gate.
Shen Anyu's eyes also lit up when he saw her on the screen.
She was a young girl wearing faded light blue jeans and a simple white short-sleeved top. Her clothes were cheap, probably bought from a street stall, but they couldn't hide her radiance. Her appearance was pure and exquisitely beautiful beyond compare. She had an aura of cleanliness that seemed to repel the dust of the world.
Although her entire outfit cost less than a hundred yuan and was rather rustic compared to the branded girls around her, it attracted the gazes and pursuit of almost all the men. She was a diamond in the rough.
"This must be Jiang Linlin, the only female lead of 'Killer Bodyguard and Beautiful School Belle,' the one Wei Yun has been longing for! She truly is a pure white flower!"
Shen Anyu looked at Jiang Linlin. Her beautiful eyes were clean and clear, without a trace of worldly defilement or greed, making one feel as if they were looking at an endless blue sky. It was refreshing to the mind.
"A pure love story? I'll make sure it's not pure love!"
Shen Anyu rubbed his chin, a wicked smile spreading across his face.
He had spent 10,000 Destiny Points to identify Wei Yun; he had to earn it back a hundredfold, principal and interest!
Wei Yun did not go up to greet Jiang Linlin. He stayed in his booth, pulling his cap lower. His gaze followed Jiang Linlin, his eyes showing deep forbearance and restraint, as well as unconcealed adoration and pain.
Clearly, this killer king, who had returned to repay a debt of gratitude, had fallen deeply in love with Jiang Linlin. But he felt unworthy.
Due to their complex identities and Wei Yun's inferiority complex about his blood-stained hands—hands that had indirectly implicated and killed Jiang Linlin's biological parents—he dared not approach her. He only silently protected her from the shadows, clearing obstacles she didn't even know existed.
He struggled every day between his desire and his guilt.
"Heh heh, it's so simple. If I take Jiang Linlin away, you won't have to struggle anymore, Brother Wei!"
"Ah, I truly am a great, considerate villain!"
Shen Anyu's lips curved into an arc, his gaze playful as he watched this scene.
However, he did not approach Jiang Linlin now; it was not yet time. The fruit wasn't ripe for plucking.
Because the girl he was waiting for had already arrived!
[Location: Modu University – Main Gate]
"You bad guy, you came to pick me up?"
Su Hongmian jogged over to the red Lamborghini, looking at Shen Anyu through the open window. Her eyes curved in a smile, joy almost overflowing from her beautiful eyes.
Today, Su Hongmian was exquisitely made up. She wore a light purple Chanel long dress that hugged her figure perfectly. As the breeze swept by, her skirt fluttered, captivating all onlookers.
Shen Anyu's face showed a gentle and sincere smile. His gaze admired Su Hongmian openly as he praised:
"Such a beautiful dress. One word: stunning!"
"You must have spent a long time getting ready, right? Just for me?"
Su Hongmian was very happy, her heart fluttering at the compliment, but she haughtily snorted, flipping her hair.
"Don't misunderstand! I didn't dress up for you. I was preparing to go shopping anyway. You just happened to be here."
Shen Anyu chuckled inwardly, not exposing her obvious lie. He unlocked the door.
"Get in the car. I'll accompany you shopping, and then we'll eat. Remember to honor the bet!"
His gaze fell on Su Hongmian's cherry-red lips, and a mischievous smile appeared on his handsome face.
Last time, after the intense "Martial Arts lesson" in her dojo, Shen Anyu and Su Hongmian had made a pact. If he came to pick her up, she would grant him a wish.
Su Hongmian's pretty face immediately flushed red. She gave Shen Anyu a shy, annoyed glare with her beautiful eyes, but it had no destructive power whatsoever. It only revealed the budding charm of a young girl in love.
"Pervert!"
However, in the end, Su Hongmian lightly punched Shen Anyu on the shoulder and still got into the car, settling into the leather seat.
Vroom!
As the red limited edition Lamborghini roared past like a blazing fire, leaving the campus behind.
The people around, watching this scene, discussed animatedly.
"It's actually Su Hongmian, that tsundere young lady! One of our Modu University's three great school belles... so she's already taken."
"Wuwuwu, my male idol is with Su Hongmian! I have no chance!"
"Maybe their families are well-matched, a commercial marriage, with no real feelings! Maybe it's just for show!"
"Wake up, look at how she looks at him. Whether there are feelings or not, he wouldn't look at you."
"…"
Meanwhile, inside the security booth, Wei Yun never once looked at the red limited edition Lamborghini, nor did he glance at the captivating Su Hongmian. They were part of a world he didn't care about.
After Jiang Linlin disappeared into the campus, his chasing gaze receded. He pulled his cap down and closed his eyes again, lying on the recliner and basking in the sun, feigning sleep.
Ten thousand beauties and styles were no match for her single smile.
No one was more beautiful than his Linlin!
[Location: Fei Meng Shopping Mall]
This is one of Modu's most top-tier, high-end shopping malls, home to many major domestic and international brands and luxury goods. It was a playground for the rich.
When Su Hongmian pulled Shen Anyu's hand and entered Fei Meng Shopping Mall, they immediately attracted everyone's attention and admiration. They looked like a celebrity couple.
Su Hongmian possessed a captivating face and exquisite long legs measuring 1.2 meters. She walked with a confident stride, exuding an aura of proud elegance that was exceptionally moving.
And Shen Anyu, with his unparalleled handsomeness, tall stature, and extraordinary temperament of a noble, was also extremely charming! He walked with lazy grace.
Seeing this golden couple, passersby sighed in envy.
"What kind of divine looks do these two have? They're too perfect for each other, aren't they? It's unfair!"
"I'm crying... compared to them, my boyfriend and I are like two ugly ducklings!"
"Wake up, ugly ducklings turn into swans! You're just ugly!"
"Crying till I faint…"
Shen Anyu didn't care about the gazes of others. Su Hongmian, with her proud and confident personality, also didn't care. She enjoyed the envy.
She directly pulled Shen Anyu's hand and headed towards a specific store.
Shen Anyu looked at the sign above the door—a luxury men's clothing store—in surprise and asked:
"What? Aren't you going shopping for yourself? Why are you pulling me to a men's clothing store?"
Su Hongmian stopped. Her small face flushed slightly, but she lifted her fair, delicate chin and snorted at Shen Anyu, trying to maintain her tsundere image.
"Last time you taught me precious internal cultivation... my mother said I shouldn't take it for free. I also want to give you some things. Reciprocity!"
"Pick whatever you want today! I'm paying! My card has no limit!"
Shen Anyu smiled. He leaned closer, his lips brushing her ear, and whispered something low and husky.
"I don't want clothes, Mianmian. I want you to wear nothing for me later."
"Hmph!"
Su Hongmian's beautiful eyes were filled with annoyance and deep embarrassment. She lightly stomped on Shen Anyu's foot with her heel.
"Shut up! Just pick a suit!"
Then, she forcefully pulled him into the luxury men's clothing store, her face burning hot…
