Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1317 – All Fainting

“What are you doing sitting there. Shouldn’t you be repairing your body?” Elder Jiao scolded impatiently.

Lin Yi jumped- getting pulled back from his sorrow. Yes, as long as he was alive, there was hope! Even though Xiaoxiao was unconscious now, there was still hope!

After his body recovered, he could continue looking for ways to save her- it wasn’t like there was zero hope. As long as Xiaoxiao was still alive when he woke, it was possible!

At the thought, he seriously looked at Elder Jiao. “Thank you, Elder Jiao! That sentence of yours made me calm all of a sudden- thank you. I’ll work hard to recover first!”

“Yes, as long as you understand.” He nodded.

Lin Yi closed his eyes and sat crossed-leg, starting the chant for the Art of Dragon Mastery, absorbing the energy around him.

Time passed, and because his body was unconscious outside, he didn’t know what was going on- his body needed to be repaired to an extent first!

Tianlong, on the other hand, came rushing after getting Tang Yun’s phone call!

They were father and daughter, but it was still bad for him to see her naked. She was grown up now, after all.

And so, Tang Yun stood in front of the room. “Uncle Feng, please wait for a little, Yao Yao and Shu are helping to dress Xiaoxiao right now- she fainted in the bathroom!”

“Alright, alright- how is it? Is… Can she be saved?” Tianglong had come here instantly, without getting an explanation from Tang Yun yet.

“This time…” Tang Yun’s eyes turned serious, and he told him the truth. She didn’t like Xiaxoaio very much at first, and only promised him his request because of Tianlong. But now, she really did like her- she didn’t want her to leave.

Before Tang Yun finished, Tianlong understood. He nodded and entered the room with her.

Right now, she was already clothed by Mengyao and Yushu, and Tianlong noticed Lin Yi lying beside her right away. “Yi…”

Tianlong thought hat Lin Yi was curing Xiaoxiao, but he didn’t expect that he’d be lying there as well. Was he asleep, or…

“Lin Yi lost too much blood trying to save Xiaoxiao. He fainted…” Tang Yun sighed. She was worried about Lin Yi, but she knew how crazy his recovery ability was. There was no need to worry too much.

“Then, Xiaoxiao…” Tianlong’s face was very pale. If Lin Yi fainted from blood loss, with Xiaoxiao still not waking, that meant…

“We don’t know. She didn’t wake up yet, but her heartbeat and breathing are very weak..” Tang Yun wanted to say that she wasn’t dead yet, but that didn’t sound nice. She thought that Tianlong would understand.

Tianlong sighed as he looked at his daughter.

Had the day come? Could they really not escape this curse? Xiaoxiao really was going after her mother’s footsteps.

Looking at the pale Lin Yi beside her, he felt so much guilt, feeling like he had wronged him. If it weren’t for his request, Lin Yi wouldn’t have interacted with his daughter like that- and he wouldn’t get involved like this!

And now, Lin Yi had turned it into his mission to save Xiaoxiao at such a cost!

Not only did he save her from bad people twice, but he also kept bringing her back from hell’s gate- this was really rare- even real lovers might not go that far, let along fake ones!

There was a saying that a married couple was like birds from the same forest- when the forest was in trouble, they flew their separate ways. There had been too many examples in this world, and Lin Yi was going this far without caring for his body- Tianlong didn’t know how to repay him!

“Thank you for all you’ve done these days- as Xiaoxiao’s father, I thank you, truly, for spending the final moments with her! I’m sure this must’ve been her best days in life!” Tianlong stood up, very solemn as he started to bow…

“Uncle Feng, what are you doing?” Tang Yun quickly stood up to stop him.

“Yeah, Uncle Feng, we’re friends with Xiaoxaio, we’re sisters, this is nothing!” Mengyao said. “After Xiaoxiao came, she’s brought a lot of fun and laughter here!”

“Yeah, yeah! We even became a troublemaker duo, causing trouble to the world!”

“Then, I understand. If you’re all tired, you can go rest first- I’ll wait for Xiaoxiao and Yi to wake up!” Tianlong said after looking at the time. “It’s three in the morning already. You guys should rest.”

“It’s fine, we’re worried about Lin Yi and Xiaoxiao, too,” Tang Yun shook her head. How could she fall asleep when they were like this?

Tianlong felt emotional again as he looked at how many good friends his daughter had.

Lin Yi quickly absorbed the energy in the jade space, hoping to wake up faster. He sucked everything in after compressing so he could absorb more qi in the same amount of time- even if releasing that compression inside of him gave him much pain as if enduring small energy bombs. Even if it was his own energy, it hurt!

But he didn’t care about all that anymore- his goal was to wake up quickly and use his blood for Xiaoxiao!

Lin Yi’s recklessness didn’t make Elder Jiao stop him- if he wanted to suffer, that was fine. As long as it didn’t endanger his life too much, he wouldn’t interrupt! He used it to level up, after all, let along compressing to recover!

Gradually, his body recovered, and his connection to the physical world was established again.
