Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1279 – Sickness Acting Up Again

“-!!” Yufeng took a slice of cold breath. “So, this means that Ln Yi’s background might be extremely powerful?”

“Yes- this is why I want you to be more careful! I’ve talked with my big brother as well, knowing these things- I almost didn’t get his information to you in time!” Shuixing said. “Luckily, you didn’t act on instinct!”

“Man- are we just going to accept our fate like this?” Yufeng didn’t want things to turn out like this, but he really felt how serious this whole thing was after his father’s words! He may be arrogant, but he was no idiot- his father wouldn’t lie to him.

“Alright, don’t investigate Lin Yi for now. Focus on getting close to Song Lingshan. I’ll announce your pairing in the meeting of the noble houses, and this will give us more power!” Shuixing sighed. “Right now House Xiao has the support of House Pi- they’re in a position to threaten us. Letting them go on like this would challenge our authority on deciding the list of noble houses! Let Lin Yi’s stuff go, for now. There’s no need to rush.”

“Alright, but Song Lingshan doesn’t seem to be very interested in me. She seems a bit cold?” Yufeng said, troubled. “I won’t go to school anymore then. I have no face to go anyway!”

“Fine, no need to go to school anymore. After we make sure of our strategy after solidifying our spot in the noble house meeting, we’ll use our strength fully against Lin Yi! Let him be happy for a couple of days!” Shuixing said.

Yufeng really wanted to go cause Lin Yi trouble, but with Shuixing stopping him, he had to give up. He kept this ball of rage in his heart, unable to let it go. This pissed him off quite a lot.

Time went by, and Xiaoxiao’s sickness happened once more- but it happened in front of Lin Yi. In order to wake her, however, he used a great half of his blood! He wouldn’t have been able to take it if he weren’t a practitioner!

Old Lin’s words were true- Xiaoxiao’s sickness was getting more and more serious, the yang energy within her getting more and more tyrannical. A little amount of blood was enough to hold it down, but now only a great half of his body’s blood would work! This really made Lin Yi feel heavy. If this were to go on, he probably needed to use all his blood next time! He could use the Art of Dragon Mastery to heal himself, but he didn’t know if his blood would work all the time!

Now, the Yang energy already had a resistance to it, it was clear!

In order to not make Xiaoxiao worry. However, Lin Yi put on that smile of his when she woke as if nothing had happened.

“I… I’ve revived again?” Xiaoxiao stared at the tense Lin Yi, Mengyao, and Yushu beside him. Tang Yun had come over the first thing when she received the call, too, waiting for her to wake up.

“Haha, with me by your side, of course, you’ll get resurrected!” Lin Yi smiled. “I told you, I wouldn’t let you die.”

But he felt like he was lying to himself- he had no option at all, all he could do was to console her. After all, her positive emotions were a direct concern.

“I thought I wouldn’t be able to survive this time.” Xiaoxiao seemed to be quite opened minded. “I got my life back once more, thanks Lin Yi honey!”

“Thanks? It’s my duty to save you.” Lin Yi smiled. “Alright, it’s late- everybody get some rest.”

“Tang Yun, maybe you could sleep here tonight? There’s a guest room upstairs?” Lin Yi was really weak now. He’d used half of his body’s blood- he was barely holding on, and really wanted to go into the jade space.

“Okay!” Tang Yun could see how tired Lin Yi was- she nodded. This was a Friday, and there wasn’t school- the day after tomorrow was Xu Shihan’s concert, as well. Letting Tang Yun here was a good plan, but what did Mengyao think?

“We’ll sleep together then. My bed’s really wide. Yun Yun, we’ve already slept on the same bed before, so there’s no need to be shy, right?” Mengyao said.

“Of course…” Tang Yun shook her head. The four were already really close at this point- she wasn’t shy anymore.

And she was feeling tired, too- being able to quickly get rest now was a good option.

Lin Yi left them and went into his room, channeling the Art of Dragon Mastery and entering his dream.

Xiaoxiao seemed to be fine now- she sat up, and while she seemed energetic, her mood didn’t seem good.

“What’s wrong, Xiaoxiao? You don’t seem happy?” Tang Yun asked curiously as she looked at Xiaoxaio.

“Well…” Xiaoxaio took a deep breath. “Yun Yun sis, I understand my body- I know… I didn’t even think I would survive this attack, but Lin Yi pulled me back again. Next time wouldn’t be so simple… I wonder how long I can get to live with you guys…”

“Stop saying those things, didn’t Lin Yi said he had a way to heal you? Stop thinking so much.” Tang Yun kept her composure, but her heart twitched in pain- she saw clearly what it took for Lin Yi to heal her today!

They were in the living room, after all, and Lin Yi quickly cut his wrist right there to feed her his blood. Both Tang Yun, the miss, and Shu clearly saw just how much blood it took, as well as that frown on Lin Yi’s face!

Lin Yi didn’t say much, but only an idiot wouldn’t know how heavy his heart felt. Next time wouldn’t be so easy anymore, who knew if Xiaoxiao would wake up even if he used up all his blood?

“Yeah, didn’t we agree that we’d live together and go to college together?” Mengyao had accepted Xaioxaio already- it may have been pity at the start, turning into friendship, but now that they lived together, they were truly best friends.

Her relationship with Xiaoxiao wasn’t too different from Xiaoxiao’s relationship with Tang Yun at this point- she definitely didn’t want Xiaoxiao to die, but there was nothing she could do.

“Yeah- we’re the troublemaker duo, we still need to conquer the world!” Yushu added.
