How did I, a fake bodyguard, become a terrestrial immortal?

"Sigh, I was still too pushy."

Crunch, crunch, crunch...

A monotonous and regular sound kept repeating itself.

Lu Yang peeked out and looked at the wheels.

The dilapidated wheels spun wildly on the muddy road, and with each whistle, Lu Yang's heart trembled.

If they kept running, the carriage would probably get them away without the pursuers even having to lift a finger.

But Lu Yang not only didn't slow down, he lashed the horse's back hard with his whip.

"drive!"

The old horse neighed and pulled the carriage forward at breakneck speed.

no way.

Who told him to be a bodyguard now?

Although Lu Yang is currently a fake bodyguard who has only been on the job for half a day and knows no martial arts.

But sitting in the carriage was his first shipment of goods.

A widow.

A six-year-old child.

Behind them, the rapid sound of horses' hooves grew closer and closer.

"Hey kid up ahead! Stop right now!"

"If you run again, I'll chop off your legs!"

Lu Yang felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but look back.

Amidst the rising dust, seven or eight burly men on horseback came chasing after them, each carrying a knife, their fierce glints visible even from afar.

Lu Yang's lips twitched.

isn't it?

Sister Bai, just how precious are you?

They've already run more than 20 miles out of town, and the casino people are still chasing them?

The woman sitting in the carriage was pale, clutching her child tightly in her arms.

The child's face was pale, but he was sensible and didn't cry, clutching a piece of pine nut candy tightly in his hand.

Two weeks ago, this little guy stuffed candy into his hand and said in a childish voice, "Uncle Lu, don't go hungry."

Lu Yang was almost moved to tears at that moment.

Right now, all he wants to do is slap himself.

If I had known the price of this candy would be so high, I shouldn't have eaten it!

......

Two weeks ago, Lu Yang had a stroke of luck and transmigrated to this world.

As soon as he opened his eyes, three men in black surrounded him with knives, demanding some kind of inheritance.

Lu Yang was stunned.

inherited?

What kind of inheritance?

He doesn't even know who he is!

In order to survive, he was preparing to make up an address to fool people.

Before he could even finish speaking, a flash of light appeared.

Three men in black fell down in front of him, their blood pooling on the ground.

Lu Yang's legs went weak on the spot, and he vomited so badly that he felt dizzy and disoriented.

The person who saved him claimed to be an old friend of his father. Without exchanging pleasantries, he simply told him to live well.

After handing the jade pendant to Lu Yang, the person lightly touched the ground with their toes and flew onto the roof.

Lu Yang watched the man disappear into the air, then looked at the three corpses on the ground. This world is truly vicious and cruel.

He clutched the jade pendant and collapsed to the ground, a voice echoing in his mind.

[Congratulations, host, on binding with the Super Bodyguard System.]

At that moment, Lu Yang cried.

The time traveler predecessor was right!

The system said that he would receive a reward as long as he escorted the goods to the designated location.

Lu Yang was so excited that he went to the escort agency that very night.

Then they were kicked out overnight.

The reason is simple: he doesn't know martial arts.

Which security escort agency would dare to hire a bodyguard who can't even hold a knife properly?

Thus, the dignified system host was forced to sleep on the streets at the very beginning.

However, in order to join the escort agency, Lu Yang told everyone he met that he was a disciple of Wudang.

From then on, everyone in Black Bull Town knew that a hysterical, mentally unstable man had come to the town.

In the end, Bai Yixin had a soft heart and took him in, letting him stay temporarily in the west wing.

The neighbors all say that Bai Yi has a hard life.

The husband was a gambling addict who ran away with a mountain of debt and even mortgaged his wife and children to the casino.

A woman with a six-year-old child works during the day and sews at night, gradually paying off her debts.

But lately, casino staff have been coming to the door more and more frequently.

Until last night, Bai Yixin stood at the door of the west wing, head down, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible.

"Young Master Lu, I have a favor to ask of you."

Lu Yang did not answer immediately.

He had a pretty good idea of ​​what it was about.

After all, the gossip among the neighbors was spreading like wildfire.

But if you agree, it's like going against the casino.

This world is too dangerous.

He's a transmigrator who doesn't know martial arts; it's a miracle he's still alive.

Bai Yixin waited for a long time, and seeing his silence, the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.

She said softly, "I'm sorry to have disturbed you, Young Master Lu."

Bai Yixin turned and left, her back view so graceful that a gust of wind could knock her over.

Lu Yang remained silent for a long time before finally uttering a harsh curse.

"etc!"

Bai Yixin paused in her steps.

Lu Yang gritted his teeth and said, "You two, are you leaving?"

Bai Yixin's eyes were red, and he nodded heavily.

The next moment, a familiar voice rang in Lu Yang's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have activated an escort mission.]

[Mission Objective: Escort Bai Yixin and her daughter.]

[Quest Reward: Max-level Xuanwu Zhenyue Body.]

Max level Xuanwu Zhenyue Body!

Lu Yang immediately perked up; it seems good people do get good rewards!

Once he completes this shipment, he will have a foothold in this world.

So he rented the cheapest, dilapidated horse-drawn carriage that very night and took Bai Yixin and her son out of town.

They thought that once Sadako escaped, the casino staff would stop chasing her.

In hindsight, he was overthinking it.

The sound of horses' hooves behind them grew closer and closer.

"You brat! This is your last warning, stop the car!"

A flying knife hurtled through the air.

Whoosh!

It flew past Lu Yang's ear and sideways into the wooden planks nailed into the carriage.

Lu Yang froze.

In that instant, he felt half of his face turn cold.

Between life and death lies immense terror!

He yanked the reins hard and yelled, "Sister Bai, hold the child tight!"

Inside the carriage, Bai Yixin's voice trembled.

"Young Master Lu, please put my daughter and me down."

Bai Yixin hugged the child tightly, tears streaming down her pale cheeks: "They came for me."

"I'm already very grateful that you could take us out of Black Bull Town."

"If I were to implicate you again, I... would feel uneasy."

Lu Yang was taken aback, then frowned.

Has this silly woman never watched TV dramas?

They've already caught up with me with knives. If I hand you over now just to beg for mercy, do you think I'll live?

If I really wanted to send you back, I would have turned around at the entrance of Black Bull Town long ago.

Why bother traveling more than twenty miles?

Moreover, it has always been said that surrendering means losing half the battle.

Lu Yang gritted his teeth and stared intently at the bumpy mountain road ahead.

The carriage jolted violently the next moment.

Click!

The wheels, which were already on the verge of falling apart, finally gave way.

The entire carriage overturned with a loud crash.

Lu Yang felt dizzy and was thrown off the car floor.

boom!

Mud and water splashed everywhere.

When he struggled to his feet, Bai Yixin had already fallen not far away, holding the child, tears streaming down her face.

"Young Master Lu...it's all my fault."

"It's my fault for dragging you down with me."

Just as Lu Yang was about to speak, the sound of horses' hooves around them stopped.

A dozen or so pursuers dismounted and surrounded them.

Lu Yang looked up and his heart skipped a beat.

Something's not right!

These people were not wearing the short jackets of casino thugs, but rather military armor.

Lu Yang's pupils contracted.

Sister Bai, how much money does your dim-witted husband actually owe?

Could it be that he couldn't pay off his gambling debts and robbed the magistrate's house?

The burly man at the head of the group, carrying a knife, walked step by step towards Lu Yang, grinning maliciously, "Kid, didn't I just say that if you run again, I'll chop off your legs?"

Lu Yang's lips twitched.

Holy crap! System, help!

The system did not respond.

Lu Yang felt a chill in his heart.

Is it over? Will the glory of time travelers end with my generation?

The burly man drew closer, the tip of his knife dragging on the ground with a screeching sound.

Bai Yixin cried with tears streaming down her face, her voice filled with despair: "It's all our fault for dragging you down with us. If I had known this would happen, I should have just begged you to send us out of Black Bull Town."

Lu Yang was preparing to say a few last words.

But the next moment, a cold notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.

[The employer has changed the destination. Do you agree to the change (first time is free)?]

Lu Yang was stunned.

The burly man at the head of the group, Wang Da, raised his broadsword high, its blade gleaming coldly, and grinned maliciously, "Kid, if you want to do good deeds in your next life, you'd better find out more first."

"Some people have backgrounds that you shouldn't mess with."

"I'll change it, I'll change it!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the escort mission!]

[Quest Reward: Max-level Xuanwu Zhenyue Body.]

boom!

The next moment, a burst of scalding air exploded from Lu Yang's body.

Muscles and bones resonate, and blood and qi surge.

In a daze, it seemed as if a sleeping Xuanwu (a mythical creature) had opened its eyes inside Lu Yang's body.

Wang Da's face was full of disdain.

"Change? Hmph, too late!"

Before he could finish speaking, the broadsword had already slashed down fiercely.

clang!!

The burly man slashed his broadsword down hard on Lu Yang's neck.

The moment the blade fell, a deafening roar exploded in the silent air.

The deafening sound startled the surrounding horses, causing them to rear up and neigh.

The burly man's ferocious grin froze, and he looked down at his knife.

A nick or chip had appeared on the blade.

Looking at Lu Yang again, he was still sprawled on the ground.

He was completely unharmed, not even a scratch.

The burly man's pupils constricted sharply, and his voice changed: "This...how is this possible?"

Lu Yang was also stunned.

It doesn't hurt! It really doesn't hurt!

He didn't even feel a mosquito bite, let alone get slashed.
