Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1318 – Not Enough Time

Lin Yi saw Tianlong, and he saw the Xiaoxiao still unconscious beside him.

“Elder Jiao, is there still hope?” Lin Yi’s body had recovered halfway already, much better than before!

“I can’t be sure… The situation has already exceeded my predictions. The yang energy has already invaded her nerves. From a normal perspective, it’s impossible. Even if you forcefully wake her again, it would just one or two days!” Elder Jiao said. “Can you find the fruit in one or two days? I don’t think it’s possible.”

“Ah…” Lin Yi sighed. “One or two days… Even so, it’s a chance- I can’t just let her go like this…”

“Do what you want. You won’t give up until you see the end- Feng Xiaoxiao’s has already developed resistance to your blood, meaning that the yang energy is strong enough to not be suppressed by it!” Elder Jiao said.

“I got it, I understand. Even if it’s just one or two days, that’s good!” Lin Yi said. “It’s her birthday too. I don’t want her to leave with any regrets, I haven’t even spent a birthday with her yet…”

After recovering enough, Lin Yi got out of the jade space and into the real world. He’d already inspected her situation with his senses. She was still alive, let him recover in peace.

After waking up, he didn’t even talk to Tianlong before biting his wrist and pouring his blood onto Xiaoxiao.

“Ah!” Tianlong’s heart relaxed and felt a bit relieved- if LIn Yi was in trouble after Xiaoixao, how could he accept that on his conscience? Especially when Lin Yi was the disciple of Lin Dongfang- how was he supposed to face him if something happened to him?

But the first thing Lin Yi did when he wake up was bite open his wrist to bleed for Xiaoxiao! His heart soured all of a sudden. He didn’t know what to say! He really did care about her!

“Yi, don’t force it- everyone must die someday, you’ve done all you can! You can’t keep doing this to your body!” Tianlong understood that blood was important to the human body- even though Lin Yi was a practitioner. He himself was one, too!

Losing too much blood and fainting- if you didn’t get enough blood before you wake up, that was already a miracle. But Lin Yi was throwing blood to Xiaoxiao again. This was suicide1!

“Don’t worry!” Lin YI said flatly. “I’ve recovered pretty much fully. I need to at least try!”

Listening to Lin Yi’s words, Tang Yun and Mengyao and Yushu went quiet as well. They understood his personality.

Lin Yi’s heart was constantly in a struggle. He didn’t want to just let this end! As he looked at the pale face of Xiaoxiao, not recovering, he still continued regardless, pouring blood…

Time passed by, and Lin Yi’s face paled again. He went on.

The air in the room grew tenser and tenser, and nobody spoke, all looking at Lin Yi and Xiao Xiao silently.

Finally, Xiaoxiao’s eyebrows moved!

“They moved! They really moved!” Yushu cried out.

“Ha…” Lin Yi’s lips edged into a soft smile of relief. It seemed Xiaoxiao had been brought back.

Tianlong’s face was shocked and joyed once more- he didn’t expect Lin Yi to pull her back again!

“Xiaoxiao, are you awake?” Tianlong ran over, emotional.

“Hm…” Xiaoxiao opened her eyes in a blur, looking at everyone, surprised. “I’m awake? I’m still alive?”

“Yes, you’re alive!” Lin Yi nodded certainly.

“You saved me again? Lin Yi, honey?” Xiaoxiao said as she looked at Lin Yi’s pale face and bleeding wrist, feeling bad.

“Yeah, Shield Bro lost so much blood and even fainted trying to save you!” Yushu said. “But after waking, he continued saving you again…”

“Shu!” Mengyao stopped her- this would only make Xiaoxaio feel worse!

As expected, Xiaoxaio’s face looked really sad. “I’m really sorry, Lin Yi honey… I’m… I’m not worth that much, even if I live now, it’s only a few days… I can feel it, that yang aura is still full inside, it’s just suppressed a bit…”

“I know- but the day after tomorrow is your birthday. After that day, you’ll break the curse that you won’t pass by twenty- there’s still hope!” Lin Yi said.

“Ah? REally? It’s my birthday the day after tomorrow?” Xiaoxaio didn’t even really remember when her birthday was- she didn’t have good friends, and Tianlong was always busy, so she never celebrated her birthdays. Lin Yi actually remembered?

“I saw it on your ID.” Lin Yi smiled. “Alright, let’s drop the sad stuff, you’re fine now!”

“Okay!” Xiaoxiao nodded heavily after some hesitation.

Yeah- no matter what, she lived now. Who cared if it was only a few days? She couldn’t waste lIn Yi’s efforts, could she?

The sky was bright again- the entire night had passed, and while Xiaoxiao had just got up, she was still really tired. After talking a bit, she yawned.

“Let’s go and rest, everybody- I need to go back to my room as well.” Lin Yi said.

“I’m going back too- Xiaoxiao, you have to listen to Yi while you’re here!” Tianlong had a job to do, too- the Red Sconces case still wasn’t dealt with. Who knew what revenge schemes they had planned? Although, now that Xiaoxiao was here, the Red Sconces wouldn’t target her.

Lin Yi’s smile disappeared instantly after he left the room, a frown on his face. Tianlong saw that change in expression, but he wasn’t surprised. “Yi, how long does Xiaoxiao have this time?”

“Not sure, but around two days…” Lin Yi sighed. “It’s not enough time! If I had more time, I could look for the Fire Spirit’s fruit, and I’d be able to find a way!”
