Li Changzhou saw that the Witch had almost finished her explanation, so he said:
"Stop standing around, with men and women, young and old—it's too obvious. Split up and find the target. Remember to see yourselves as real tourists. Little Martial Saint, you stick with Old Demon."
"Understood!" everyone responded.
...This alone had already attracted the attention of those nearby.
"Also, do not mention 'mission', 'target', and the name of the mission target. Use... 'hamburger' instead."
After the crowd dispersed, Li Changzhou told Yang Qinglan, Li Qianxia, Turquoise Pool, Bi, and Chang'e, "Let's go on the ship, and do some sightseeing too."
Chang'e frowned, "The mission comes first."
She had changed into modern clothing, a light blue shirt with vertical stripes, its collar open, revealing a snow-white neck, and her sleeves were intentionally rolled up.
She wore a dark blue short skirt, revealing a pair of slender, white straight legs.
"What if the hamburger is here for sightseeing?" Li Qianxia countered.
Chang'e said nothing.
The group bought tickets and boarded the sightseeing cruise.
It was now obvious; this was the sea, with various large cargo transport ships coming and going, yet the scenery remained impressive.
"That building looks so strange," Li Qianxia pointed to a structure on the shore resembling a wave.
"The Elbphilharmonie," Turquoise Pool said, pressing down her hair that was being blown by the wind.
Her hair had also turned black, exuding an elegant beauty.
"How's the child?" Li Changzhou held Yang Qinglan's left hand and asked quietly.
Yang Qinglan touched her flat belly with her right hand, "No feeling."
"Try not to act."
"Okay."
"I'll protect you," Chang'e said.
"Thank you," Yang Qinglan smiled.
Just then, Li Qianxia suddenly walked over and tugged hard at Li Changzhou's sleeve.
"Brother, over there!" she whispered.
Everyone looked in the direction she pointed. A small luxury private yacht was overtaking the group's cruise ship at a leisurely pace.
[You have discovered the mission target—Jiutiao Meiji]
On the cruise ship, a young girl stood on the deck, her black hair flying like a ribbon, wearing a red and black jacket, standing gracefully.
Two meters behind the girl stood a woman who clearly appeared to be a bodyguard.
"Looks quite young, unlike a political..."
Li Qianxia didn't finish her sentence.
Boom!
The small luxury yacht rocked violently, almost capsizing.
The female bodyguard instantly lunged forward, wrapping the girl in her arms, and they rolled together onto the deck.
"There's someone in the water!" Turquoise Pool grabbed the railing.
"I'll go," Li Changzhou's voice remained on the deck as he, dolphin-like, dove into the water from the other side while the tourists were distracted.
Without mana, women found entering the water inconvenient.
A muddy view entered his sight, a feeling Li Changzhou hadn't experienced in a long time, as the qualities of his Primordial Divine Body had vanished.
He could vaguely hear the cries of surprise from the tourists above the water.
His legs gave a slight kick.
"Woo!" With the sound of splashing water, Li Changzhou shot out like a nimble fish.
The visibility was poor, but he could still see the rolling small yacht. Beneath it, a figure was pressing a foot against the yacht's bottom.
Boom!
The figure was catapulted away, and at the same time, the ship lurched and nearly flipped.
Li Changzhou increased his speed, similarly kicking out, applying just the right force to counteract the cruise ship's motion.
From above the water, the yacht, which was almost capsizing, suddenly righted itself on the sea, looking as odd as could be.
Woo!!
Amidst the sound of something swiftly moving through the water, Li Changzhou engaged with that figure.
The opponent lunged, like a venomous snake, with fingers spread wide like a snake's open mouth, the airflow hissing between the claws.
Li Changzhou remained calm, raised a fist, and struck through the air.
Boom!!
The water surface exploded with a splash, as if hit by a cannonball.
Cannon Fist.
The water flow settled back to calmness, and his opponent had vanished, leaving behind a shattered and ruined arm, floating in the water.
Even at the human physical limits of the 21st-century Earth, the strength Li Changzhou exhibited was a hundred times that of others.
Before the mission began, he was a Primordial Divine Body, with control over his physical body rivaling that of a True Dragon.
Scanning the area, finding no one, Li Changzhou turned to leave.
Whizz!
A steel needle spiraled into the water, leaving a trail of bubbles.
Li Changzhou angled his head, watching the steel needle, capable of piercing a skull, narrowly miss his nose.
What's going on? There's still an enemy above?
Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!
The surface of the water turned into a honeycomb, countless steel needles swarming into the depths.
Li Changzhou's expression changed, his right arm suddenly swung, unleashing a fierce force, sending a splash forming a water shield clearly visible in the water.
The steel needles passed through the water shield, slightly slowing their speed.
"Boom!" Li Changzhou transformed into a torpedo and sped away.
On the shore.
Seeing the girl with a grim face, instructing bodyguards to launch steel needles into the water, Li Qianxia hesitated: "...Could it be that we are protecting a bad person?"
"Bad people are good," Turquoise Pool laughed, "Good people don't live long, bad ones live a thousand years."
Li Changzhou clung to the yacht, his body trembling slightly, the water droplets rolling off his clothes, exactly like the legendary martial technique of brushing off leaves effortlessly.
His clothes dried, and with a slight exertion of his arm, he leaped onto the deck.
The passengers were all on the other side of the deck, watching the small yacht, unaware that Li Changzhou had just surfaced, disabling an adversary's arm.
"Turquoise Pool is right," he approached, "Bad people are actually advantageous for us, proving she has the ability to protect herself."
Before long, the small yacht was heavily guarded, with many seemingly unrelated yachts surrounding and protecting it.
A group of tourists-posing bodyguards formed overlapping human shields.
"I feel the person we're supposed to protect isn't simple at all," Li Qianxia transformed into a female detective, "If we're not careful, she might see us as enemies and kill us too."
