Li Xiang and Chen Zixue dared not look up at Gao Liang, for Gao Liang possessed an imposing presence that made people unwilling to raise their eyes. Their legs trembled as Gao Liang spoke: "Chen Zixue, come here!" Chen Zixue shifted his body, moving forward on his knees, still refusing to look up at Gao Liang. Gao Liang pressed a pill into Chen Zixue's mouth and said, "This pill is called Xie Gui Zheng. As you follow me, you will become a capable assistant. Go on to execute a demanding mission!" "Yes, Master!" Chen Zixue bowed deeply with both hands, feeling a surge of comfort throughout his body. He opened his eyes and looked at himself—wow! Is this really me? I'm now clad in silver armor. Later, Chen Zixue learned that he had become Gao Liang's Silver Armor Guardian. "Li Xiang! Also come here!" Li Xiang crawled to Gao Liang's side, just like Chen Zixue, unwilling to raise his eyes. Gao Liang used a needle to pierce Li Xiang's forehead. "Ah!" Li Xiang cried out in Dressed entirely in golden armor. Gao Liang beamed with a smile and said, "You are my right guard, the Golden Armor Guard, and together with the Silver Armor Guard on the left, you will follow my commands!" Immediately, both the Golden and Silver Armor Guards bowed deeply, hands clasped in front of them, expressing their sincerity, and together said, "From now on, we pledge our lives and loyalty, to accompany our master and forge a new path together!" Gao Liang nodded and said, "Stand up!" Only then did the two guards rise, gazing at their master, and noticed that the commanding presence they had previously sensed had softened into a warm, approachable demeanor, with a smile directed warmly toward them. "Since you have now become my left and right guards, you will no longer attend university at Kyoto or Media University. However, I will allow you to appear to the world under a new identity—your role as personal bodyguards!" As Gao Liang finished speaking, two tailored suits descended from the sky, which the Golden and Silver Armor Guards each donned. Wearing sunglasses and glowing with bright energy, Zhang Yuping exchanged a warm, smiling glance with each other: "Honestly, I never thought our fierce rivals would become the bodyguards of my husband—and even more impressive, they're doing so with such dignity! Absolutely incredible! Haha! What a satisfying turn of events!" Ying'er spread her wings and danced an elegant "eight-character" figure in the air, clapping her little pink hands excitedly, cheering, "Master is so handsome! Master is so handsome!" The monster, having missed its initial strike, immediately opened its massive mouth and charged toward Zhou Chao's three younger brothers—Liu Qiang, Luo Qi, and Wang Lei. Since the three were slow to react, each was caught by the monster's sharp claws, bleeding profusely. As the claws soaked with human blood, the monster roared even louder, launching a powerful surge straight toward the three brothers. Instinctively, the three rushed toward Zhou Chao, taking shelter behind him. Zhou Chao himself was bitten on the face by the advancing monster, writhing in pain. Yet, this was not the end—his three younger brothers were struck again by the monster's powerful claws. To protect himself, Zhou Chao gathered the remaining water-based energy within his body and expelled it, forming a water sphere in his hands. "Crack!" The sphere, the size of a bowl, was hurled at the monster. But the creature showed no fear—instead, it extended its claws to catch the water sphere and then pushed it into its massive mouth, swallowing it whole. Good heavens! What kind of creature was this, daring to swallow its own energy sphere? Zhou Chao immediately mobilized the entire remaining energy, at which point the second water sphere began to exhibit super-energy. With a loud "crash," the second energy sphere, rushing forward with a whooshing wind, struck the monster's spherical abdomen at a moment when the monster was unprepared. The powerful impact startled the monster, who now focused all his attention on Zhou Chao. Zhou Chao engaged in a fierce battle with the monster, while his three younger brothers, responding to his shouts, each raised a large chopping blade to strike the giant monster. To their surprise, however, the giant monster was covered in spines, and not only did the blades fail to make an impact, but the three brothers were knocked down by the force of the rebounding blows. The monster then bit down firmly on Zhou Chao's other face. Zhou Chao roared to his three brothers, "Come quickly and help me—strike the monster's spherical abdomen hard!" The brothers obeyed, and as they delivered strong kicks, the monster released its grip on Zhou Chao's face. Seizing the opportunity, Zhou Chao drew a short blade from his waist and plunged it repeatedly into the monster's spherical abdomen. "Ooooh!" "The giant roared and fled in embarrassment. Zhou Chao's face was bitten and bruised, disfigured beyond recognition, so he had to cover it with a black cloth. His three younger brothers also sustained serious injuries. At that moment, a wild rabbit passing by the broken stone cliff was captured and then devoured alive. When a chicken approached, the third brother captured it and, just like his elder brother Zhou Chao, swallowed it whole. 'Hah! Hah! Hah!' A voice like that of a demon echoed through the broken stone cliff, 'We eat fresh things—especially those with blood!' The conversation then shifted to Gao Liang. It had been a long time since Gao Liang last visited the Mengzhu Grand Hotel in Jingdu City. Accompanied by his golden and silver armor guards and Zhang Yупing, he returned to the hotel. It was now evening. Due to its prime location on a bustling commercial street in the heart of Jingdu City, the Mengzhu Grand Hotel was always lively with traffic and pedestrians. Since Gao Liang had revitalized the hotel's reputation through his program 'Three Dishes of Beautiful Women,' its business had grown steadily better." At the same time, thanks to her continuous learning, deep practical experience, and bold reforms, Chen Yuting—this rare beauty as a manager—has consistently innovated in service quality and attitude, achieving even greater success and earning widespread customer praise. The once-familiar Chen Zixue and Li Xiang have been replaced by Gao Liang, whose appearance has transformed significantly, now truly serving as Gao Liang’s dedicated bodyguards. While busy in the lobby, Chen Yuting was delighted to see Gao Liang and Zhang Yупping return, and smiled warmly at Gao Liang. Zhang Yупping, meanwhile, gazed at the exquisite dish Chen Yuting had carefully arranged and exclaimed with delight, stretching her tongue in appreciation. "This is a new dish we've just launched at Dream Zhu Hotel—called 'The Coca-Cola!'” Chen Yuting introduced, pointing to a large round table with twenty plates: "Look, each dish is thoughtfully composed of five carefully selected ingredients, totaling 100 varieties—hence, 'a hundred-cuisine' preparation. The flavors are fresh and refreshing, and the colors are vibrant and festive, so we named it 'The Coca-Cola'—a symbol of daily joy and happiness!" "说完，便示意高亮和张雨萍尝了一口。高亮尝了尝，点点头，说不错。张雨萍也轻轻抿了一口，脸上露出惊喜之色。"
