Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1319 – Good News

“What?! You’re saying that you’ve found a way to save Xiaoxiao?” Tianlong froze, stopping dead in his tracks as he stared at Lin Yi. He breathed rapidly. “Yi, tell me- did you find a way to save her?”

“Uncle Feng, please calm down- let’s talk downstairs in my room,” Lin Yi was worried that his voice would affect Mengyao and the others inside the bedroom.

“Alright!” Tianlong was so emotional that he was quivering a bit as he followed Lin Yi into his room, asking right when they got in, “Yi, please tell me, do you have a way?”

“Uncle Feng, there is a method, but I don’t know if I can find the medicinal ingredients. If I can, then it’s fine!” Lin Yi said. “But there is a bit of a problem here- and that is that there’s no time. There’s no time, and even if I go and find it’d take a month or even longer, Xiaoxiao doesn’t have that long…”

“Ingredient? There’s news about the Fire Spirit’s Fruit?” Tianlong asked, full of hope.

“Yes, the old man found out in a book that there’s a doctor saint once who cured the yang aura in an important person- using a Fire Spirit’s fruit. This is able to stop the aura inside someone’s body, exactly what Xiaoxiao needs!” Lin Yi said, “The location of this fruit could very well be described in his notes, and those notes are likely to be in his grave!”

“Ohh? You’re saying that… You’ve found the grave of this doctor saint?” Tianlong said, shocked.

“Yes! I’m preparing to head there.” Lin Yi nodded, telling him his plans with Lingshan. “Song Lingshan invited me to the tomb together, and for a reward, she’ll let me have copies of the books they find there!”

“That’s good- though I’d be able to get you copies even if she doesn’t.” Tianlong didn’t worry about it- it was no problem for someone in his position and department, “So you’re saying that there’s a big hope for Xiaoxiao’s sickness?”

“It was supposed to be so, but there’s no time!” Lin Yi smiled bitterly. “The news came too late- if it was a bit earlier, there would still be hope.”

“That’s fine- this is her last chance. I can do this!” Tianlong said, “You may not know this, but when Shushu passed, I created an ice coffin for her, freezing her body and maintaining it without letting her age!”

“What? You came up with something like that?” Lin Yi paused, nodding. “Absolute zero temperature?”

“The department I was in was a bit special, but it didn’t reach that temperature. Although keeping Xiaoxiao alive for a few decades wouldn’t be a problem!” Tianlong said. “You shouldn’t credit me with this method. It was Lin Dongfang- your shifu’s! He mentioned something interesting, saying that there was someone who got frozen once and woke up when the ice melted… This was what gave me the idea! Of course, while this would make sure that her body didn’t change, there was still a risk. Putting aside the other things, even if this truly will work, it’s still a bit part of coincidence involved. If she were to freeze to death in there…”

“That won’t be a concern.” Lin Yi smiled a relieved smile. As long as her body remained the same, Lin Yi had tons of all-purpose energy to deal with those issues. Only the fruit was the problem now!

Seeing that smile, Tianlong didn’t say anything. It seemed that Lin Yi was confident!

“Alright, I’ll have my men prepare it now!” Tianlong didn’t dare waste any time.

“When freezing Aunt Shushu back then did you think that there might be a chance in the future?” Lin Yi asked.

“Yes, Miracle Doctor Lin Dongfang said before that if there were a Sky class, then Shushu could be saved, but a Sky class…” Tianlong had a bitter and disappointed smile on his face. “I asked him before, but no Sky class would risk becoming a normal person…”

“You… You’ve met a Sky class?” Lin Yi started, surprised. He didn’t expect him to interact with a Sky class.

“It’s fine; let’s not talk about the past. I’m just a normal man now…” Tianlong evidently didn’t want to talk about the past. He only shook his head and left it at that.

Lin Yi knew that, and so he stopped asking. “If so, then I’m relieved. If possible, I’ll try to find two fruits, giving Aunt Shushu one, but, if there’s only one… Please forgive me, Uncle Feng, I’d have to give it to Xiaoxiao! We don’t know if the fruit would work if we split it… I know you live your wife, but I want my wife to live on too…”

“I understand, I understand!” Tianlong couldn’t help but smile at the words. “That’s my daughter too! I believe that if I give the sole fruit to Shushu instead of Xiaoxiao. She’d kill me.

Lin Yi nodded- Tianlong was right. Which pair of parents didn’t want their children to be safe and peaceful? They would give their lives for them. Shushu would have the same thoughts.

Lin Yi believed that if he and Xiaoxiao had children, Xiaoxiao would want the fruit to be given to their child as well, not for herself!

After sending Tianlong away, Lin Yi was feeling optimistic, wiping away all negativity. As long as the time concern was settled, then there weren’t any problems! The Fire Spirit’s Fruit- Lin Yi believed that if he worked hard enough, he’d find it for sure! Even if they assumed the worst and failed to find it, then he could just train himself to Sky class and cure her!

Losing his strength? He wasn’t afraid of that! He dropped to zero all the time for her, and that was the bottom line, wasn’t there? There weren’t any negative levels.

And so, he was overjoyed- he couldn’t help but jump up in joy. He shook his head after landing- when did he become like this?

Old Lin was right. He changed.
