Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1423 – You Xiaoke was Poisoned

Skybolt pig’s heart was shaken instantly!

In actuality, General Weiwu had told Skybolt pig that Lin Yi was also a doctor and a practitioner, no less. Besides, he had gotten Zhang Liju’s personal notes- meaning Lin Yi was considered as Zhang Liju’s inheritor. For Skybolt pig to follow Lin Yi was not impossible.

After all, before Zhang Liju died- he did tell Skybolt pig to follow the medic he saw in the tomb and help them in practicing medicine. This was one of his wishes.

Zhang Liju couldn’t find a suitable inheritor in his whole life. A good mentor was hard to find, but a potential student was equally difficult as well. Zhang Liju was a rigorous person- he would never allow himself to lower his standards to find the right student, so in the end, he couldn’t even find one suitable inheritor to take over his medical skills. He could only burden the regret and bring all his medical knowledge into the grave, hoping that the right person would come to visit this tomb and carry on his medical studies!

So the design of Zhang Liju’s tomb was exceptionally peculiar. After learning the reasons behind the design of the tomb, Lin Yi started to have admiration for Zhang Liju!

First, if someone wanted to enter the tomb and take Skybolt pig away, the person had to be able to communicate with a spirt- Lin Yi couldn’t achieve that for now, but General Weiwu could, so Lin Yi and the gang were able to pass the first test. Otherwise, they would’ve been blocked by the huge spirit beast and couldn’t enter!

This was Zhang Liju’s first examination, if you could communicate with a spirit, you were qualified to enter the tomb, but if you were not a doctor but some ordinary tomb raiders, then the poison fog and arrows would do the job! Of course, the visitor was a medic; he could remove the toxin by himself. What Zhang Liju was looking for was a person with superb medical prowess along with the ability to communicate with spirit, having a bad behavior or not didn’t really matter- he had no control over it, but as long as he passed the examinations, he was qualified to become his inheritor!

Besides, though Zhang Liju had saved countless lives, his character was neither good nor bad- he was a person of yin and yang. This part of him was a little similar to Lin Yi.

Skybolt Pig who had received so many benefits started to dance- trying to please Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was speechless- wasn’t this little fellow too materialistic? He was unwilling to leave this tomb initially but after giving him some benefits. He was now trying to please him!

“Lil’ Wei, tell him to follow me if he wants to level up!” Lin Yi said to General Weiwu, asking him to deliver the message to Skybolt pig.

However, General Weiwu hadn’t opened his mouth yet, Skybolt pig was already running towards him, hugging onto Lin Yi’s body, and never letting go. It was as in like he was afraid that Lin Yi would go back on his words and never bring him along!

“Woof woof….” General Weiwu pointed at Skybolt pig and pointed at Lin Yi’s mouth. The meaning was obvious here; this little fellow could actually understand human language.

“Oh?” Lin Yi was the one taken aback this time, but he nodded- since Zhang Liju and Skybolt pig could communicate, in other words, it meant that Skybolt pig could evidently understand human language. This pig could understand him all this time? Lin Yi was a little pissed off- did this pig think that he was a joke asking General Weiwu to translate for him every time?

“Stupid pig, you can understand me?” Lin Yi glared at Skybolt pig and asked.

“Ji ji….” Skybolt pig nodded his head, terrified. He was afraid that Lin Yi would leave him here.

“Let’s go!” Lin Yi was too lazy to argue with a beast- he shook Skybolt pig off his body and dumped him on the floor. “Walk yourself!”

“Ji ji…..” Skybolt pig wanted to hug onto Lin Yi’s body because he felt that his body was like a huge spirit body- it was filled with heaven and earth pure qi. Just by receiving a little of his energy, he knew that he would surely be benefited greatly.

You Xiaoke found this pig adorable and couldn’t help but want to touch him.

Suddenly, a warning signal was sent to Lin Yi from the jade. Lin Yi was shocked- he didn’t know where the danger was coming from, but he shouted subconsciously. “Careful!”

“Ah!” You Xiaoke couldn’t believe that the moment she stretched her hand towards Skybolt pig, the pig’s hair stood up immediately like a porcupine, poking You Xiaoke’s finger. “Why does this little fellow act like a porcupine now?”

You Xiaoke withdrew her hand and started sucking on her finger.

“No know knows that this pig has a defense mechanism.” Lin Yi smiled as he shook his head- this little guy had no attack ability, but he was a defensive type. The jade was trying to warn him because Skybolt pig was trying to injure You Xiaoke!”

“Yeah, he didn’t allow me to touch.” You Xiaoke didn’t know she should be crying or laughing, getting an injury because of this petty reason.

Having Skybolt pig entering the party, Lin Yi didn’t want to disturb the tomb owner, Zhang Liju’s grave anymore. He had already gotten the items he needed; he was no greedy person from the beginning- the purpose of him entering the tomb was all for the information of fire spirit fruit!

So even if Elder Yu shamelessly took one qi gathering pill away, Lin Yi didn’t find his heart aching nor would he fight a death battle with Elder Yu to get back the pill. Lin Yi had no interest towards the thing he found useless; there was no point in wasting his effort!

Lin Yi and You Xiaoke along with General Weiwu and Skybolt pig came back where they entered- the whole journey was super peaceful; there was no sign of danger at all. Their assumption was correct; the area where Skybolt pig was able to reach was probably free of danger.

Upon reaching the door of life and death, You Xiaoke felt dizzy suddenly.

“Male thief… My head is kinda heavy, can we rest for a bit?” You Xiaoke found herself hard to believe she was actually feeling dizzy. From her perspective, it was probably because of oxygen deficiency. They had been staying in the tomb for quite a long time, after all.

“Oh? Head dizzy?” Lin Yi flinched. “What’s wrong?”

The air in the tomb was indeed slightly thinner than the outside air but logically speaking, for a person like You Xiaoke who had been staying in a harsh environment all the while shouldn’t be affected by it, even Old Hei didn’t feel the pressure, why would You Xiaoke be affected then?

So Lin Yi was observing You Xiaoke with doubtful eyes. From a doctor’s sensitivity and having so many traps in the tomb, Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel the tension in the atmosphere as he asked.

“I don’t know; maybe it’s because of the thinner air in the tomb, my body is lacking some oxygen?” You Xiaoke didn’t know the correct answer as well.

Lin Yi nodded, but he remained the question to himself. But judging from their situation, this was the only valid reason causing this. After all, during the whole journey, there was no sign of dangers; otherwise, his jade would have warned him…..
