Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1401 – Should I Agree?

Old Hei knew what happened during the night, but he was smart- he chose not to comment unnecessary crap. Lin Yi and his group was an overpowered existence. In his heart, he knew that he was nothing compared to this tomb raiding group; they were from a totally different tier!

“There’s poison on the arrow.” Lin Yi picked up the razor-sharp arrow and sniffed. “This is a very powerful slow poison, they wouldn’t realize that they were poisoned at first, but as time passes, the poison will devour the person up, only a top-notch doctor could neutralize it. The poisoned one will either die or get disabled once the poison takes over the whole body- it will destroy the body’s nervous system and finally made the person a plant.”

“WHAT!” You Xiaoke was stunned and jumped up from the spot quickly. “Is this an airborne poison? I was standing super close to the arrows just now, am I going to be fine?”

“You’re alright, even if you are poisoned, I can save you.” Lin Yi said faintly. The poison might be strong, but it was nothing to Lin Yi’s medical prowess, not to mention, even a person like Yaowang could neutralize it.

“Oh…” You Xiaoke let out a breath of relief.

“Let’s continue moving forward. I’ll stand in front. Everyone just be cautious.” Lin Yi wasn’t afraid of anything. He was just being extra careful. Besides, he had the jade to signal him when danger approached.

What actually surprised the crowd was that after passing the poisoned arrows, faint light could be seen ahead of them! The light only got brighter and brighter as they moved forward, after another tens meter of walking, the group made a turn, and an exit was right in front of the group!

Another few hundreds meter of walking, the group would be out of this cave, the outside world was sunny and bright, the light cleared the gloominess in their heart- the atmosphere in the air became better as well!

“Awesome, we are finally out of the cave!” You Xiaoke hoorayed.

Old Hei let of a long breath of relief. This raid was too much for him- he had experienced countless of deaths and life and almost couldn’t come back alive! After this extreme raid, Old Hei had decided not to join any raid anymore. Of course, Song Lingshan would never give him this opportunity as well.

“You guys do whatever you want, I’m not joining the action later.” Looking at the exit ahead of them, Lin Yi was relieved as well. He lowered his voice and said it to Song Lingshan.

“Okay, take care of yourself!” Song Lingshan understood what Lin Yi was trying to say. After leaving the tomb, Song Lingshan and Chen Yutian would have to take care of Old Hei themselves, and Lin Yi didn’t have time to join them later. Besides, Lin Yi had more important things to do- he had to think of a way to save Xiaoxiao, no time to waste on Old Hei anymore.

Lin Yi nodded, and the group finally arrived at the exit of the cave. The sun was shining brightly. The cave was located at a valley similar to the one they used to enter, and the appearance of the cave was no different from normal caves so it wouldn’t attract any unwanted attention from the people.

Elder Yu had long gone from this area. The valley was silent because there was no vegetation around it, not even a single bird could be seen here, the whole valley was extremely silent.

“We will part from here. You guys go ahead, I’ve something to talk with the sparrow girl!” Lin Yi stopped moving forward and told Song Lingshan.

Song Lingshan flinched and eyed You Xiaoke for a second- she immediately understood where things were heading, Lin Yi was probably trying to protect You Xiaoke. When Chen Yutian and her reveal their identities to Old Hei, You Xiaoke would naturally be caught as well, being the tomb raider and all.

And what Lin Yi was trying to do- was obviously protecting You Xiaoke from being arrested by her. Since You Xiaoke didn’t steal anything from the tomb, Song Lingshan decided to give Lin Yi’s face and spare the sparrow girl.

In fact, she knew, even if she refused to give him face, Lin Yi would still try his ways to protect her. There was no way she could argue with a person like Lin Yi, could she? When did Lin Yi become so obedient?

“Good, we are leaving then!” Song Lingshan didn’t comment much and left with Chen Yutian. Both of them clamping Old Hei by the sides, one from the left and one from the right jumping over the valley. Without ropes, even if Old Hei wanted to escape, it was impossible for him to achieve, so he still needed to rely on Song Lingshan and Chen Yutian to leave this place!

After going up, Old Hei felt exceedingly grateful towards the female thief for not abandoning him- this made him extraordinarily touched by their kindness. “Female thief, thank you very much, I, Old Hei, will remember what you guys did. Rest assured, I don’t care if you guys want it or not; I will give some of the treasures to you guys!”

“No need.” Song Lingshan only replied faintly. “This is what we are supposed to do.”

“Supposed to do?” Old Hei was stunned.

“Old Hei, this is my ID card, you are under arrest!” no one knew when and where did Chen Yutian pull out his identification card. On the other hand, Song Lingshan pulled out a handcuff as well, locking Old Hei without a single word.

“Huh?” Old Hei was dumbfounded- he didn’t know was going on. “Female thief, what are you doing…. If you want my treasures, I can give it all to you; there’s no point of doing this, let me free…..”

After knowing that the follower beside the female thief was also a mystic class master, Old Hei lost all his motivations in struggling. Mystic class master, what a legendary existence- even if Old Hei used his life to fight, there was no way he could break free from them, could he?

“Old Hei, don’t be ridiculous, I’m the Deputy executive director, in charge of Songshan’s criminal investigation, I’m no female thief.” Song Lingshan took off her mask.

Chen Yutian, on the other hand, took off his mask as well; he was using GPS to send off their location and summoning a helicopter to ask for backup.

“Ah?” Old Hei was completely stunned. It couldn’t be true; these two were actually police? Weren’t they tomb raiders?

Looking at their serious face, Old Hei’s face darkened- what they said was probably true. He smiled bitterly inside. Even if he wanted to escape, he couldn’t possibly win over them, could he? Two mystic class masters, they could kill him like humans kill ants- Old Hei didn’t have the balls to resist, he had already given up all his hope.

Under the valley, You Xiaoke was looking at Lin Yi with questioning eyes. She didn’t know why Lin Yi asked him to stay.

However, recalling all the sweet events in the tomb, You Xiaoke couldn’t help but blush. He… he wasn’t planning to propose to me now, was he?

Then… then should she agree? You Xiaoke’s face was as hot as a microwave- this was her first time having reaction towards someone else, but wasn’t he married? Could she endure this?
