Infinite Evolution System Made Me Too OP!

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.

It was through this knowledge that, if he wasn't incorrect in his speculations, this was surely the buildup of some sort of 'Foreign Noble/Princess setup'. On that note, Chi Wu was likely from some far-off country who escaped her fate.

And just as he expected...

"...You see, I may not have told you previously, but I am not from around these parts… Well, at least not originally… And though I have been in the Emonius Triade for thousands of years, the ones from my homeland have caught wind of my existence." Chi Wu spoke with a tone that contained a plethora of conflicting emotions as her icy countenance nearly cracked and shattered.

However, before it could reach such a stage, a deep and raspy voice took her out of her reverie, as Azmodeus said, "I can do it. But you will need to tell me the time."

"The time…?" Chi Wu questioned.

"Yes, how long do we have before they get here?"

The Crimson Witch wasn't sure what that had to do with anything, but she still responded, "I don't know of the exact date; however, I am sure that the first wave will be on our doorsteps within the next thousand years… Which is not enough time to do anything to stop it…"

She was putting all her hope in the deeply hidden talent of the handsome man sitting beside her, for there was truly no way that she could escape the pursuit of entities with far more strength and talent than she had…

"A thousand years…?" Azmodeus's furrowed brows eased up as he couldn't believe he got so worked up over nothing.

"???"

Chi Wu was puzzled by the relaxed posture of the man whom she had just requested to protect her from beings that could be countless times stronger than he was.

Which was why she asked, "Why did the time that we have left change your tune…? One thousand years is not enough for anything…"

"Tell me, Chi Wu, how long do you think it has been since I broke through the Gold Rank in Physical Existence Refinement?" Azmodeus inquired with an amused expression.

"I don't know… Maybe three thousand years? I was surprised that you could breakthrough from a single Diamond-Rank Potion, but it should be around there."

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…

...…
