Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1212 - You Wouldn't Blame Me, Would You?

Tianlong had been listening to their conversation with a heart full of thankfullness towards Tang Yun. He felt happy for his daughter, meeting someone as reasonable and kind as Tang Yun before the last days of her life! Someone else would've hoped she left as soon as possible!

He quickly explained the situation when he noticed that his daughter was about to figure things out- he didn't want Xiaoxiao to think that Lin Yi and Tanag Yun pitied her.

"Ah!" Xiaoxiao jumped- that had to be it! So both Lin Yi honey and Tang Yun sis knew… she exhaled, so be it- they had to know sooner or later, it was easier now that her father explained!

Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to tell this to Lin Yi! This had been on her mind, guilting her all the time- she didn't want Lin Yi to suffer the pain her death would bring, but she couldn't pull herself out from this happy dream!

And so Xiaoxiao's heart was really troubled- she didn't want to leave him, but she had no choice! She lived in self blame and suffering all the time, always waking up to nightmares plus, not only did she have a boyfriend like Lin Yi, she had a big sister like Tang Yun who treated her so well!

Friendship, love- she had it all, but she didn't want to lose them!

Now that her father had told Tang Yun and Lin Yi, Xiaoxiao felt much better.

"Yun Yun sis, you guys wouldn't blame me, would you… I've been hiding this from you…" Xiaoxiao didn't dare to look at Tang Yun anymore.

"We won't… In fact, we sympathize with you!" Tang Yun sighed, "Xiaoxiao, to be honest- I was really shocked when I heard this, but thinking of your personality and how you went to the extremes… We made the connection. You knew that you didn't have much time left, that's why you lived like that, right?"

"Yeah…" Xiaoxiao nodded. It was natural for her to come to that conclusion after learning the truth.

"But you need to trust Lin Yi- he'll find a way to cure you for sure! Right when we all thought there wasn't any hope, he changed everything and brought you back…" Tang Yun encouraged.

"Yeah, I believe him…" Xiaoxioa nodded, but she still couldn't bring herself to look at Tang Yun!

"Let's go, we'll make Lin Yi some food? He'll be quite hungry once he wakes, we didn't get to eat today!" Tang Yun said as she held Xiaoxiao's hands.

"Okay!" Xiaoxiao said happily- she loved preparing meals filled with love for Lin YI!

Tianlong was in a bit of disbelief as he saw how well the two got along- did these two women really live in peace without any fights? But this was what it was, and he had to believe it! Tang Yun was genuine, he could tell!

Perhaps Tang Yun did what she did at first beacuse she pitied her, but now, other than that sympathy, she gave Xiaoxiao true friendship and care.

Tianlong knew that he shouldn't stay here any longer. He cleared his throat, "Xiaoxiao, I'll be going now! I still have something to do!"

"Okay, see you!" Xiaoxiao wanted her dad to leave, too- there were so many things she couoldn't say in front of him!

Tianlong looked at Li Yifeng, and he understood as well. Taking Doctor Liu with them, the two left Xiaoxiao's apartment, along with Tianlong.

Shutting the door, there was only Tang Yun, Xiaoxiao, and the sleeping Lin Yi left!

"Yun Yun sis, actually, I really don't want to leave you guys, I really don't want to! I think that it's the biggest gift that I was able to meet you guys before my final days!" Xiaoxiao said as she got out the kitchen equipment, emotional.

"Me too, Xiaoxiao. That bet with you at the beginning, I went with it because of frustration, but after spending time with you… I think of you as my best friend now!" Tang yIn said earnestly as well, "And so I was thinking- if it's possible, we… we could live together forever?"

"Okay!!" Xiaoxiao nodded her head with all her might, "I'd love to have a big sis for the rest of my life!"

"Haha… Alright, let's push away the unhappy thoughts and make some food…" Tang Yun said.

"Alright!" Xiaoxiao started getting busy…

Upon entering the jade space, Lin Yi enthusiastically started channelling the art of Dragon Mastery, greedily sucking all the energy within the jade space.

Not only did he need to recover from the blood loss, he also needed more qi to regain his strength!

Elder Jiao shook his head as he looked at Lin Yi, "You've fallen quite a bit for her, haven't you? Isn't this too big of a loss this time?"

"Rebirth through destruction…" Lin Yi said faintly, not giving any more words. He needed to train right now- he didn't have time to talk to this guy!

"You brat, I was trying to be nice!" Elder Jiao glared before turning away from Lin Yi.

Lin Yi had already experienced losing all of his strength a couple of times already, and while he didn't waste one second absorbing the qi, he didn't rush things. He'd be able to regain his strength sooner or later, anyway.

The qi inside the jade space entered Lin Yi, and this was something he had done many times already. The first time, he wasn't able to use all of the energy for himself, and could only actively absorb bit by bit!

But after getting destroyed and recovering a few times, he was now really used to it, and could use all the energy inside the space, from the top of his head to his surroundings. This greatly increased the speed of his practitioning!

If it weren't in the jade space but outside, then Lin Yi would be absorbing energy from everything within a radius of a couple hundred kilometers! If anyone were there to see it, they'd be stunned from the tornado of energy swirling towards Lin Yi, who rested in the center of it!

Elder Jiao, however, didn't look surprised, although he did seem intrigued by the swirling energy around Lin Yi. This kid was making it a bigger and bigger scene after each time!
