Chapter 38

"Golden Bell Shield? Iron Shirt?" At this moment, the black shadow finally saw clearly that He Dong looked like a golden statue, and immediately shouted out in surprise again.

Perhaps because the other party was very confident, they had not covered their face at all. He Dong was momentarily stunned as he looked at the other person, because the attacker in front of him was completely unexpected.

Standing less than 1.6 meters tall, with bright black eyes, a small and high nose, a seductive and charming cherry mouth, an exceptionally cute and adorable doll face, and a fiery figure that could captivate all perverted uncles, describing the girl in front of him as having a childlike face and a mature body was absolutely the most appropriate.

"Little girl, how old are you? Are you an adult yet?" After being slightly stunned, He Dong asked curiously while secretly guarding himself.

"You're the one who's a little girl, your whole family is little girls. I'm eighteen years old, I'm already an adult." The girl immediately said unhappily upon hearing the slight disdain in He Dong's words.

"Then what deep grudge do we have that makes you risk your life to kill me!" He Dong asked in confusion.

"We don't have any deep grudges! As for why I came to kill you, it's because I'm an assassin!" The girl shook her head and said.

"Assassin?? Someone hired an assassin to deal with me?" Upon hearing this profession, He Dong's brows furrowed sharply.

From TV, movies, and other information sources, He Dong's understanding of assassins was that they were cold, dangerous, bloody, and cruel. He couldn't understand how the cute and bright girl in front of him could be an assassin. Most importantly, why would an assassin target him?

"Of course, if no one pays me, I wouldn't do this thankless job! However, your situation is clearly different from what the employer provided, so this job is now canceled unless the employer raises the price." The girl, perhaps due to her young age or some other reason, actually started chatting with He Dong.

"Oh, so you're not going to kill me anymore?" He Dong continued to ask.

"Of course not, do you think I like killing people that much?" The girl wrinkled her little nose and said.

"Uh!" The girl's words left He Dong unsure whether to cry or laugh, as today's encounter made him suddenly feel like it was all a farce.

"Hey, what kind of kung fu are you practicing?" Just as He Dong didn't know what to say, the girl suddenly asked.

"Secret!" He Dong no longer wanted to tangle with the other party, but because the other party was a cute girl, He Dong couldn't bear to harm her, even though she had almost taken his life just now. He Dong decided not to pursue it and turned to leave.

"Wait! You can't leave!" However, what He Dong didn't expect was that the other party would cling to him.

"What do you want?" He Dong frowned and asked.

"Can you teach me the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Shirt? If I learn the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Shirt, I won't have to fear Boss Li anymore, and I won't have to be this hateful assassin anymore!" The girl, like someone who knew nothing of the world, stared at He Dong with big, round eyes, her face full of anticipation.

"Uh!" He Dong was once again stunned by the girl's bizarre behavior. This was far from the image of an assassin he had in mind, and more like the goddess in a shut-in's dreams.

"Please, teach me! At most... at most... I...!" The girl's face turned slightly red, and she looked at He Dong with some shyness, unable to finish her sentence.

When He Dong heard this, combined with the girl's innocent yet slightly seductive charm, his brain "buzzed," and his lower body shamelessly hardened.

"At most... at most I'll be your disciple!" At that moment, He Dong almost nodded in agreement, but then the girl bit her lip and finally said the rest of her sentence.

"No, I don't plan on taking any disciples!" The huge contrast made He Dong feel as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, and he finally came to his senses.

"Master! Please take me as your disciple! I beg you!" The girl completely forgot her identity as an assassin, and even forgot that a few minutes ago she had almost slit He Dong's throat. She ran to He Dong's side, grabbed his arm, and started to shake it in a coquettish manner.

"Is the world developing too fast, or am I already showing signs of early dementia?" The girl's sudden change left He Dong speechless and bewildered.

"Master, I'm very smart! I promise I'll learn your ultimate skills quickly. And I'm very obedient and hardworking. I can wash clothes and cook. Oh, and I'm very filial. When you're too old to move, I'll definitely be by your side to take care of you. When you pass away, I'll wear mourning clothes and guard your spirit...!" The girl, hugging He Dong's arm, became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes growing brighter.

"Stop, stop, stop!" But the more He Dong listened, the more uneasy he felt. How did this conversation end up with him being gone?

"Master, you've taken me as your disciple?" The girl said excitedly.

"No, I didn't say I'd take you! And to be honest, it's not really the Golden Bell Shield or Iron Shirt, just a bit of trickery. So, you don't need to cling to me!" He Dong shook his arm, freeing himself from the girl's grip, and quickly walked forward.

"Master! Don't go! Even if it's just trickery, I want to learn! And I've already called you master, I understand the principle that one day as a teacher means a lifetime as a father! Master, wait for me!" The girl, after being slightly stunned for a few seconds, suddenly chased after He Dong again.

"Damn, if I can't deal with you, can't I at least avoid you?" The girl's persistence made He Dong's head ache. He no longer controlled his speed, not only quickening his steps but also using his super jumping ability.

He Dong bounced, ran, and leaped between several trees. After such an all-out sprint for about five or six minutes, he finally looked back with a relieved smile. The effect was very satisfying, as the girl had been completely left behind.

Due to the assassination attempt, He Dong's mood had been heavy and even a bit panicked at first. But after these few minutes of running and venting, his mood relaxed considerably. By the time he returned to the villa, there was no trace of any unpleasant expression on his face.

However, just as he thought everything was over, he was shocked to find that the girl who had tried to assassinate him had already arrived at the villa and was sitting on the sofa in the first-floor living room, chatting enthusiastically with Wang Xuewu.

"Master! You're back!" When she saw He Dong, the girl jumped up from the sofa in joy and ran excitedly toward him.
