Beauty and the Bodyguard - Chapter 1009
Urgent News for All Kenyans
Chapter 1009: Chapter 1008 – As A Reward
There was one thing that bothered An Jianwen. He had discovered a strange phenomenon. Every late night when it was quiet or when he was very excited, he would vent loudly several times to the sky. While even this was unexplainable to him, but he still treated it like it was nothing…
Chen Yu Shu and Feng Xiaoxiao were singing karaoke. The two were just screaming from the top of their lungs. Whatever song Chen Yushu was singing, Feng Xiaoxiao would also sing. When they were done singing the song, they would choose another song. Chen Yushu would sing the song that Feng Xiaoxiao had ordered and vice versa. Like a competition, these two were just switching on and off. Chu Mengyao didn’t have a single chance to interfere.
When the two girls were finally done singing, the group decided that it was time to leave the KTV.
“Today, I will let you go, but tomorrow we will have our three hundred rounds!” Feng Xiaoxiao laughed at Chen Yushu.
“I welcome all challenges! In front of Songstress Shu, you are weak!” Chen Yushu continued.
Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu glanced at each other and bitterly laughed it off. They each tried to occupy Feng Xiaoxiao as much as they could.
Lin Yi was on the first floor bar counter, ready to pay the bill. Even though Lin Yi could just call Zou Tiandi on the phone to pick up the bill, Lin Yi wasn’t willing owe him a favour for such a little amount of money. After handing over the money, he met up with Chu Mengyao, Chen Yushu, Tang Yun, and Feng Xiaoxiao at the front of the KTV.
Uncle Fu didn’t leave from his spot and had remained parked in front of the KTV. Even if Uncle Fu had lost his power, he still remained a dutiful driver!

“Yaoyao, Xiao Shu, you can sit in the car with Uncle Fu. I will drive Yunyun and Xiaoxiao home,” Lin Yi replied to his Missy.
“Okay,” the Miss nodded. She wanted Lin Yi to return home early, so she could ask about Feng Xiaoxiao. It was hard to ask with her present though, so she just pouted and kept silent.
Especially Chen Yushu, she was still slightly irritated with Feng Xiaoxiao. They weren’t able to determine the winner of their karaoke!
Lin Yi, Tang Yun, Feng Xiaoxiao got into the beatle. Lin Yi started up his car and said, “Xiaoxiao, are you going back to school to get your car or am I driving you home?”
“You can drive me home, then come pick me up in the morning?” Feng Xiaoxiao glanced at Lin Yi.
“Tomorrow, I have to pick up Tang Yun. You can just call for a cab,” Lin Yi calmly replied.
“Oh, then you can pick me up along route then. I am still your youngest wife, you don’t have to be so harsh to me!” Feng Xiaoxiao already proclaimed herself to be Lin Yi’s mistress. Tang Yun had already agreed, but she was also becoming more bold.
If it was any other day, Tang Yun wouldn’t have been happy with Feng Xiaoxiao acting spoiled infront of her. Even if she didn’t say anything about it, she would feel uncomfortable at the flirty nature of their exchanges. That was until she learned of Feng Xiaoxiao’s illness, then her attitude changed completely. She was hoping that Feng Xiaoxiao could have happy memories in the last leg of her life!
No matter what Feng Xiaoxiao did, Tang Yun maintained her forgiving attitude. She kept telling herself that she needed to truly accept Feng Xiaoxiao so that they are both sisters as Lin Yi’s women.

“Where is your house?” Lin Yi asked.
“It is isn’t far away from the school, very close to it. In front of Ning Shi road,” said Feng Xiaoxiao.
“Oh, then I will pick you up tomorrow. Only just this one time, there won’t be a next,” Lin Yi agreed to picking her up. Ning Shi road wasn’t too far, it was along the route of travel.
“Lin Yi, you are the best. I want to kiss you as reward!” Feng Xiaoxiao cheerfully shouted loudly.
“Your reward seems to be taking advantage of Lin Yi though?” Tang Yun wasn’t laughing along.
“I… Sister Tang Yun, you are laughing at me!” Feng Xiaoxiao blushed. She had to whisper back in a low voice, “Sister Tang Yun, do you really accept me or is it just pique? We might be in a crisis now, Chen Yushu is very slick, we should work together to fight against the enemy! Otherwise, she would want to become Lin Yi’s mistress. If we fight against each other, then an enemy can slip in!
“Well…” Tang Yun had already accepted Feng Xiaoxiao, but she didn’t want to reveal it to her. She faked the impression that she was thinking about it before replying “I’ll try…”
“Hehe, Sister Tang Yun, you can relax. I will protect your interests!” Feng Xiaoxiao patted her chest as she gives her guarantee. “I am a person who can distinguish resentment and rewards. Who treats me nicely, I will keep that in mind. I will fight against Chen Yushu to the end!”
“Haha…actually, Yushu just likes to stir up trouble. There’s nothing between her and Lin Yi…”. The relationship between Tang Yun, Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu were quite good, she didn’t want the new addition, Feng Xiaoxiao, to disrupt the order.

“Oh… then that will depend on their attitude!” Feng Xiaoxiao raised her fist.
Lin Yi was in the driver’s seat, he pretended not to have heard anything. Truthfully, if Feng Xiaoxiao and Chen Yushu were to fight it out then that would be a huge pain to Lin Yi. Seems like he has to clarify with his Miss and Chen Yushu about the situation. Otherwise if things got out of hand with Yushu stirring the pot, there would be unforeseen problems.
By the time, Tang Yun got back to the hospital, it was quite late already. However, People’s First Hospital was operating on a 24hr schedule, so there were people coming and going all the time. Even at night, there were still a lot of patients. The ambulance was also operating all the time, so Lin Yi was not worried about Tang Yun’s safety.
As Tang Yun entered the hospital, she disappeared from view after turning the corner. That was when Lin Yi started up the car to drive Feng Xiaoxiao home.
Feng Xiaoxiao sat on the shotgun seat after Tang Yun got off. She didn’t feel embarrassed at all.
Lin Yi wanted to say somebody, but held his tongue. Truthfully, he had feelings for Feng Xiaoxiao. However those feelings weren’t positive because he had always been wary of her. He hadn’t adjust his behavior to reflect his attitude towards her!
To smile at her like he did for Tang Yun, was something that made Lin Yi feel awkward. He was afraid of breaking his cover.
Before, when Lin Yi interacted with Feng Xiaoxiao, he had always replied nonchalantly.
“Lin Yi, what did my dad contact you for?” Feng Xiaoxiao asked first. She didn’t know what excuse to start a topic to talk about.

In one afternoon, Feng Xiaoxiao’s dream came true. She had dreamt of this day for so long. She was finally Lin Yi’s girlfriend. Even if it was just the mistress role, but the concept was the same. Feng Xiaoxiao didn’t mind at all!
But, it was just a little too fast. Feng Xiaoxiao felt that something was off! Tang Yun shouldn’t have taken the bait so easily. Feng Xiaoxiao can’t shake that feeling in her gut.
Chapter 1010: Chapter 1009 – Heart Moved
“He wanted to meet me… What did you tell your father?” Lin Yi acted like the meeting with Feng Tianlong never took place.
“Nothing… I didn’t say anything…” Feng Xiaoxiao used to be bold, but when Lin Yi finally established a ‘relationship’ with her, it had made her heart flutter, “It could be because he wants to thank you for rescuing me in Yanjing City?”
“Oh…” Lin Yi nodded, he took the chance and continued to pry, “Oh yeah, when you fainted last time. What was that about? Are you sick?”
“Oh… No, that was nothing…” Feng Xiaoxiao shook her head. She didn’t want Lin Yi to know that she had a terminal illness. She didn’t want her ‘revenge’ plan to become Lin Yi’s pity. Then what was the point of her ‘revenge’?
Heh, Lin Yi, you made me so miserable. I definitely won’t let you go. I will let you experience my pain through heartbreak. I will make you fall in love with me, then I will use that to hurt you!
Lin Yi nodded, without saying much throughout the drive.
“Lin Yi, since there aren’t many cars on the road. Can you drift? So I can experience it?” Feng Xiaoxiao turned to look at Lin Yi.
“Why would I drift for no reason? Do you know how dangerous it is to drift?” Lin Yi frowned, “Nine out of ten cars crash from drifting, do you not want to live?”
“Ah… don’t want to live?” Feng Xiaoxiao shook her head as she sighed.
Lin Yi was startled when he gave it a second thought! Feng Xiaoxiao had hinted at something in her expression. But it was Lin Yi who couldn’t catch on. He sighed in a depressed tone, he feels pity for having said that taboo word to her…
This was coming from an extremely cheerful girl, from the moment he met her, Lin Yi has never known her to show any negative emotions. If Lin Yi haven’t experienced Feng Xiaoxiao’s strange behavior or if Feng Xiaotian didn’t explain the situation, Lin Yi wouldn’t believe that this pretty girl was on the verge of dying!
If by chance he could let go of Tang Yun’s worries and his guilt, Lin Yi would find himself falling for this girl in front of him.
Lin Yi also didn’t want her to die, but his hands were tied! Even Old Lin didn’t know what to do with this sickness. Lin Yi couldn’t even guess how to begin investigating! Even if he was titled the Miracle Doctor, but there were things even he was limited to do. He could save someone from a terminal illness, if he knew what he was fighting against. But how could anyone fight against an unknown illness, it was just hopeless.
“Say, Lin Yi, do you like me?” Feng Xiaoxiao had given up on Lin Yi showing her how to drift, she knew Lin Yi’s stubborn personality. As long as he promised to do so, he wouldn’t change his mind afterwards.
“…” Lin Yi didn’t reply.
“Oh, so you don’t like me at all? Not even a little? A small bit?” Feng Xiaoxiao continued to ask.
“…” Lin Yi maintained his silence.
“So, when you were feeling me at the auction, you didn’t have any feelings?” Feng Xiaoxiao blurted out.
“Yes,” Lin Yi finally responded when things were starting to get out of hand.
“So do you have any feelings for me?” Feng Xiaoxiao continued to tease once she finally got a response from the numbskull.
“A little,” Lin Yi nodded.
“Then, why did you reject me?” Feng Xiaoxiao had suspicions regarding Lin Yi’s answers.
“Well, it wasn’t until today that I started to like you,” said Lin Yi, “When we were in Yanjing City, there were feelings, but I wasn’t too sure what it meant,”
Lin Yi wasn’t lying about having feelings toward Feng Xiaoxiao. Except, those feelings were suppressed as he had his guard up against her. It was only until today that he finally lowered his guard.
“Oh! I’m happy to know that! I’m so happy I can just die!” Feng Xiaoxiao started waving her hands around up in the car, “Seems like putting in hard work does reap the reward! So you agree to take me as your mistress right?”
“Tang Yun agreed?” Lin Yi countered.
“Ya, sister Tang Yun had agreed to it. Otherwise, why else would she agree to letting me ride alone with you in the car?” Feng Xiaoxiao excitedly replied.
“Didn’t you force her, or set up a trap for her to accept you?” Lin Yi asked.
“Uh… That… Of course not!” Feng Xiaoxiao naturally denied all accusations, “Sister Tang Yun sees good qualities in me, I’m a good person. That’s why she accepted me,”
“Sigh…” Lin Yi almost crashed his car into the tree. Good person? Lin Yi knew exactly what type of person she was. But he wouldn’t blow her cover.
“What are you smiling about?” Feng Xiaoxiao sensed that Lin Yi’s smirk had another meaning, “I’m speaking the truth, it was sister Tang Yun that had chosen to accept me!”
Lin Yi shrugged, “I really don’t know why you think like that. You are a pretty girl, so it shouldn’t be hard for you to find a boyfriend, why do you choose to be anyone’s mistress!”
“What’s wrong with that?” Feng Xiaoxiao proudly talked back, “Haha, if I want it, then it is better to steal it from others. Like that Chen Yushu, she is so annoying. Lin Yi don’t get bewitched by her good looks!”
Lin Yi shook her head. Who would’ve thought that Feng Xiaoxiao and Chen Yushu would be rivals. This would be a big headache for Lin Yi in the future.
“I’m at Ning shi road, where is your house?” Lin Yi parked his car on the side.
“In front of that intersection, turn left, then in about five hundred meters, you will reach it,” Feng Xiaoxiao pointed.
Five hundred meters wasn’t far when it came to driving. In a blink of an eye, Lin Yi had driven right up to the door.
The district was decently huge, but it wasn’t the luxurious type. Evidently, it showed that Feng Xiaoxiao wasn’t as wealthy… On a deeper level, Lin Yi tried to analyze her situation. Feng Xiaoxiao was raised by a single father. Even if Feng Tianlong had a high salary, it was still a government job that relied on his survival. The salary was probably around one million yuan, so they shouldn’t have been able to afford the villas here.
“It is right here…” Feng Xiaoxiao pointed at a building in front, “That’s my house, the one on the third floor, penthouse.”
“Be careful when you go up stairs, when you get home, send me a message,” Lin Yi nodded.
It was a phrase Lin Yi was used to saying. The security in this district was very good, and it was regularly patrolled by security officers so there shouldn’t be any criminals. In addition, every house had electric doors, with elevators that came with security cameras.
“You… would you like to come up to sit around?” Feng Xiaoxiao wasn’t satisfied with them splitting apart. She was afraid that this was all a dream. She was afraid that when she got up stairs, she would find out that none of this was real.
Even if Feng Xiaoxiao had intentions of revenge close to her heart and wanted to make Lin Yi regret falling in love. At least she could enjoy the feeling of love for the first time too! Two birds with one stone!
Chapter 1011: Chapter 1010 – Feelings of Love
Feng Xiaoxiao laughed at the thought to herself. If she continued doing what she was doing now, with her father’s support, she would just be digging deeper into this rabbit hole. Even now, she didn’t know whether what she was doing was right or wrong. If Lin Yi did fall for her, then he would be heartbroken?
“No, I won’t come today. It’s getting late, you should rest up soon,” Lin Yi declined quickly. “Shouldn’t your dad be back already? It wouldn’t look great if I’m there at this hour!”
“He’s not home tonight. He is at the dormitory. It seems like there was a mission tonight, so he needed to stay on site. If he left at night, he was afraid of waking me up,” Feng Xiaoxiao shook her head. Her dad led a busy life, and she had gotten used to living alone.
“So it’s like that… Well I won’t come up today. I’ll see you tomorrow,” Lin Yi turned to leave with a smile.
“Oh… Okay,” Feng Xiaoxiao was disappointed in his reply. “Then can I give you a kiss?”
Feng Xiaoxiao lifted her head to look into Lin Yi’s eyes. Under the light from the full moon, Lin Yi could clearly see her face and his heart skipped a beat. He had the urge to give Feng Xiaoxiao a peck on the lips but controlled himself. It seemed like his relationship with Feng Xiaoxiao was moving a little too fast.
“Hm… Get up stairs and get a good night’s sleep,” Lin Yi tried to laugh it off and gave her a pat.
“Oh…” Feng Xiaoxiao was thoroughly disappointed. She wanted to know how it felt to be intimate with someone else. She had never experienced it before. She never had those urges with another man before. Her previous experiences with any interactions with male companions disgust her, but Lin Yi made her feel different, made her feel special.
“I’m leaving,” Lin Yi continued to laugh, “I want to see you go up before I leave,”
“Fine,” Feng Xiaoxiao hesitated. She didn’t know where her courage stemmed from, but she tiptoed and pecked Lin Yi on the cheeks. She didn’t wait long enough to hear Lin Yi’s reaction, she just skipped away while cracking a giggle. She was afraid of Lin Yi being angry, so she just waved goodbye, “Hehe, I’m leaving! It doesn’t feel that bad!”
Having the last word, Feng Xiaoxiao ran toward her apartment entrance.
Lin Yi smiled as he watched Feng Xiaoxiao’s shadow disappear. He touched his face, the part where she had kissed. This exhilarating feeling didn’t feel bad at all. He had a sudden urge to hug Feng Xiaoxiao from behind, but he knew that if he did that, it wouldn’t stop there. Based on this lady’s personality, she wouldn’t reject his advances. That is one of the main differences between her and Tang Yun. Tang Yun’s personality is that she is persistent. While Feng Xiaoxiao is passionate. When he had touched her breast in Nanjing, Feng Xiaoxiao didn’t have a huge adverse reaction to him, which was how he came to that reasoning.
However, Lin Yi didn’t act on his impulses. This impulse was just his hormones acting up, it wasn’t true love from the depths of his heart. So if Lin Yi had feelings for Feng Xiaoxiao, he wouldn’t do anything too rushed. He wants it to be all natural.
When Feng Xiaoxiao got into her apartment, Lin Yi went back to his car and drove away.
Feng Xiaoxiao ran all the way to the elevator, her heart was pounding out of her chest. Her face was red like a boiled lobster. She had acted very boldly. That was her first time taking the initiative to kiss a man, and she gave a kiss on his cheek. She was so embarrassed!
This skin to skin feeling of contact made Feng Xiaoxiao crave for more. It is no wonder there were so many passionate couples that were intimate, this sensation was exhilarating!
Feng Xiaoxiao felt her hot cheeks. How does it feel to get kissed? She kissed Lin Yi, and it was amazing, but did Lin Yi feel that same happiness as her?
With the kiss still on her mind, she walked to the elevator and to her own apartment door.
Even if Feng Xiaoxiao didn’t live in one of those luxurious apartments, this was one of the large duplexes where one unit has two floors. It was built in the early eras of Songshan City, so by now, it was worth several million yuan.
Feng Tianlong didn’t have a lot of places to spend his money and he knew that his daughter didn’t have long to live, so he didn’t intend to save any money. He wanted his daughter to live in the best environment!
Feng Xiaoxiao entered her apartment, and ran straight for the washroom. She splashed her face with water, as she needed to lower her body temperature.
“Sigh…” After washing her face, Feng Xiaoxiao was able to take a breather. She looked in the mirror and saw her pretty face. Feng Xiaoxiao raised her fist and said to herself, “Xiaoxiao you are the best, keep at it! Lin Yi is starting to like you…”
After Feng Xiaoxiao said that to herself, she was drowned in her emotions. What was this sensation that she was feeling? Could it be that in the process of making her enemy fall in love with her, she too fell in love with Lin Yi? Ah… Well this shouldn’t be a problem. Since she was going to die anyway, she might as well enjoy the experience. The more invested she was, then the feeling would be even better!
With that firm belief, Feng Xiaoxiao didn’t bother to control her emotions.
She left the washroom, Feng Xiaoxiao sent Lin Yi a text message, ‘Honey, I’m home.’
By the time Feng Xiaoxiao had sent the message, Lin Yi was nearly home. He was starting to get worried about why it was taking so long for her to send a message. When he received the message, he finally calmed down.
Lin Yi replied back in a text to Feng Xiaoxiao, with a smile, ‘I’m almost back too.’
Shortly after Lin Yi’s text message, his phone rang. Lin Yi thought that Feng Xiaoxiao decided to call him, and he picked up. Since he was driving, he didn’t look at the caller’s name and instinctively said while laughing, “Xiaoxiao, what’s wrong?”
“You say Xiaoxiao with such enthusiasm. I’m not Xiaoxiao. This is Yun Yun!” Judging from her voice, she sounded angry. However, when she said ‘Yun Yun’, she couldn’t resist the urge to laugh,”Calling myself Yun Yun in third person, this is so weird…”
“Ahh, I just received Xiaoxiao’s text message and then your call came in. So I thought you were her,” Lin Yi knew that Tang Yun wouldn’t be jealous. She was a very kind girl, when she found out about Feng Xiaoxiao’s sad background, she felt only pity and sadness for the girl. Otherwise, that day with Feng Tianlong, she wouldn’t willingly accept Feng Tianlong’s request.
“I was about to ask you, are you home yet? I can’t put my mind at ease…” Tang Yun was afraid that Lin Yi would get ambushed since he was driving alone. He had made so many enemies from different forces, she was full of worries. No one knew whether they would give up on their hope of taking revenge.
“Almost home,” Lin Yi replied, “Oh yeah, when Xiaoxiao was there, I didn’t get to ask you. What did you and Xiaoxiao talk about? Did you come to an agreement of some sort? How come she is the mistress? Isn’t that like she picked up a huge bargain?”
“Haha!” Tang Yun heard the question and chuckled, “I knew that you would be interested! It was quite the conversation we had! So it was like this, when you went to buy dinner, I was with Xiaoxiao waiting for you. We started talking about the mistress problem…”
Chapter 1012: Chapter 1011 – Loves the Silly
Tang Yun didn’t bother hiding the conversation she had with Feng Xiaoxiao. She told him the entire agreement, word for word.
When Lin Yi heard Tang Yun explain her thoughts, he didn’t think that Tang Yun could be so cunning! Not only did she protect her current position, she made Feng Xiaoxiao thought that she had gotten a huge bargain!
“Yunyun, I didn’t think that you are so cunning!” Lin Yi revealed a wide smirk.
“Hm!” Tang Yun hubriously voiced her thoughts, “If I’m not cunning, then I would have my spot stolen! Last time Feng Xiaoxiao taught me a lesson, I can’t be so naive towards people anymore…”
“Haha,” Lin Yi didn’t continue teasing with Tang Yun. He was glad that through this opportunity, Tang Yun was able to mature.
“Oh right, what did you say to Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu? It seems like Chen Yushu and Feng Xiaoxiao have a sort of rivalry going on,” Tang Yun curiously asked.
“I said the truth,” Lin Yi continued, “Both Yaoyao and Xiao Shu are understanding people. When they knew about Xiaoxiao’s special condition, they didn’t give her any further trouble!”
“Ah, I can see that happening! Oh right, you need to remind them to ease into it slowly. Don’t just become friends in one day or else Feng Xiaoxiao will become suspicious. It’s best if they slowly accepted her on their own. Then they can become like me! Me and Xiaoxiao are on the right key!” Tang Yun cheerfully proposed.
“I understand, I’ll talk to them about it,” Lin Yi knew the importance behind Tang Yun’s warning. Chen Yushu and Chu Mengyao are smart people, they should know how to execute the act perfectly.
“You are still driving right? Then I won’t take too much of your time. Drive home safely, I’ll see you tomorrow!” Tang Yun replied.
“Yes, see you tomorrow,” said Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was almost back to the villa by the time he hung up. In a short few minutes, he parked his car by the courtyard.
When Lin Yi walked into the villa, Yaoyao and Yushu were sitting in the living room watching television.
Chen Yushu was so absorbed into her show, she was cheering violently with her body. She didn’t notice Lin Yi walk in, until she got small kick from Chu Mengyao.
“Ahhh?” Chen Yushu was taken by surprised. Then she looked at Lin Yi and remembered that she had a series of questions to ask him, “Shield bro, you are back? I want to ask about the situation with Feng Xiaoxiao? Do you not like me anymore? Is that why you found someone similar to me in shape, to play threesome with?”
“Xiao Shu!” Chu Mengyao glared,”What is your mind filled with? How could you say such vulgar things? You are a girl! You have to mind your words, otherwise how will you marry?”
“Wha, Shield Bro doesn’t want me anymore! Forget about marrying, I don’t want to live anymore!” Chen Yushu whined sadly.
“Okay, Xiao Shu, you can stop messing around now,” Lin Yi looked at Chen Yushu, “So you figured out that something was wrong, right?”
“Ah?” Chen Yushu waited for a response.
She knew that Feng Xiaoxiao’s appearance was suspicious. Theoretically, Lin Yi wouldn’t accept another girl to be his mistress, even more unthinkable was that Tang Yun wouldn’t be the type to share!
If Tang Yun was willing to allow Lin Yi have a mistress, then she wouldn’t have bickered with them at Fatty Lai’s house.
Chu Mengyao was also shocked, but she played along even when she felt like it was a suspicious situation. She didn’t talk to Chen Yushu about it, she wanted to wait for Lin Yi to explain himself. It was that Chen Yushu beat her to ask the question, and was surprised she had thought the same way.
“Hmph, so lame. Shield bro, why must you always break my cover…” Chen Yushu scolded.
“Haha, I do enjoy it when you act silly,” Lin Yi smiled.
Even though Lin Yi claimed that he had discovered Chen Yushu was acting weird towards Feng Xiaoxiao, the fact that they were bickering made him cast doubts. Since the threats were all verbal and non substantial, Lin Yi was able to disregard her troublesome acts. He knew her personality, and it was highly doubtful that she would join forces with someone she dislikes.
“Ah, okay fine,” Chen Yushu was happy at the reply. “Shield bro, what is up with Feng Xiaoxiao?”
Chen Yushu was gloating that she was appreciated by Lin Yi for her ‘silly acts’ but then she realized that Feng Xiaoxiao also had the same persona. So did that mean Lin Yi also liked her too? Then who did he like more?
“Let me tell you about Feng Xiaoxiao, but you have to promise me to keep it a secret,” Lin Yi beckoned Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu.
“Relax, my alias is Secret Shu, all your secrets are safe with me. I won’t spill even if I get tortured,” Chen Yushu quickly added.
Chu Mengyao didn’t need to add anything more to that, she just nodded to symbolize that she too will keep that secret.
“Xiaoxiao… her time is nearly up…” Lin Yi sighed. He joined them on the sofa as he told his story.
“What? Time is nearly up?” Chu Mengyao was shocked. “Lin Yi, do you mean that Feng Xiaoxiao is…”
“Yeah, Feng Xiaoxiao has a terminal illness, that even I can’t treat… she has around a year left in her lifespan!” Lin Yi sighed deeply again.
Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu widened their eyes as they stared at Lin Yi with disbelief.
Lin Yo continued, “Her father is a good friend of mine, his wish was that he wanted Xiaoxiao to experience a romantic relationship. So I agreed to fulfill his request and will oblige to Feng Xiaoxiao’s demands until the day she leaves us…”
Lin Yi didn’t stop the story there. He explained in detail about how kind Tang Yun was, and how she took the initiative and agreed to it …
“It was Tang Yun who took the initiative?” Chu Mengyao couldn’t believe that Tang Yun could be so generous. She willingly gave up Lin Yi to share with another girl…
“Mhmm,” Lin Yi nodded.
“Yaoyao sis, Feng Xiaoxiao is such a sad person!” There was a slight hint of regret in her tone, they shouldn’t have bickered with Feng Xiaoxiao so often. She was a person with limited time, she had at most a year left. While they have their whole lives ahead of them, they could have Lin Yi any time they want.
“Yeah… I couldn’t believe it myself, Feng Xiaoxiao has a hereditary illness…” Chu Mengyao sighed. “Now, I know why Tang Yun was able to accept her…”
“So all that I’ve told you, I hope that you can help keep it a secret. Even keep it hidden from Feng Xiaoxiao. She is a strong willed girl, if she found out that we are doing this out of pity, then she might do something extreme!”
Chapter 1013: Chapter 1012 – Couldn’t Wait
“Lin Yi, don’t worry, both me and Yushu know the consequences of our actions,” Chu Mengyao nodded sternly, “On top of that, me and Yushu will promise to not take any hostile actions against Feng Xiaoxiao. You can even bring her here as guest and we won’t have any objections,”
“Well… that might not be necessary. As long as your attitude towards her changes gradually, and not suddenly, then she won’t suspect it…” Lin Yi shook his head, “Xiaoxiao isn’t that dumb so if you changed your attitude towards her so rapidly, then she would know something was suspicious,”
“You are right about that!” Chu Mengyao nodded. “Do you have any suggestions on how we can make it look inconspicuous?”
Chu Mengyao is a very forgiving person. Once she understood Feng Xiaoxiao’s condition, she felt sympathetic towards her. If there was anything she could do within her power, she was willing to do so. Her willingness to help out stems from her attitude, but her tone is very dull when she says it.
“No need to force it, just act naturally,” Lin Yi had no better suggestion. He made moves only when it was necessary to move. At least now, there will be less confrontations with Feng Xiaoxiao.
“Mhm, leave it to me,” Chen Yushu patted her chest, “I will continue with my fighting act with her, so I can convert a rival into a friend!
Lin Yi’s eyes followed the range of motion of Chen Yushu’s hand. Isn’t she afraid of ricochet from hitting her breasts too hard? Nevertheless Lin Yi admires Chen Yushu’s strategy, as it could be quite effective.
“Ah, then Yushu, I will have to bother you with that task,” Lin Yi nodded in approval.
“Yes, I love helping Shield Bro out. But, remember that when Xiaoxiao leaves, you will need to compensate me handsomely!” Chen Yushu craftily added her demands.
“…” Lin Yi was stunned. Chen Yushu was hinting at waiting for Feng Xiaoxiao to pass on, but Lin Yi knew that she was harmless behind her meaningless words. Lin Yi stood up and said “I’ll go check up on Uncle Fu. I’ll let you continue watching your shows, and if you have any more questions then you can discuss with Yunyun.”
“Okay,” Chu Mengyao had the intention of connecting more with Tang Yun from the beginning, so when Lin Yi finished speaking, she naturally nodded.
Lin Yi stood up and walked toward Uncle Fu’s room. These few days Uncle Fu had been living in the villa, it was more convenient for Lin Yi to treat him this way.
When Uncle Fu saw Lin Yi walk towards him, he stood up immediately. He only had respect towards Lin Yi. Lin Yi is his lifesaver, and was the one who helped restore his meridians.
This kindness that Lin Yi bestowed on Uncle Fu, was the equivalent of being revived.
Uncle Fu had admiration for Chu Pengzhan as they had been friends for a long time; his feelings toward Chu Mengyao was out of love, he treats her as if she were his own daughter since he watched her grow up.
“Xiao Yi, you came back!” Uncle Fu respectfully greeted Lin Yi. Lin Yi had strongly requested that he should be called ‘Xiao Yi’, otherwise, Uncle Fu would’ve called him something more ridiculous.
“Uncle Fu, how do you feel now?” Lin Yi inquired. He wasn’t exactly comfortable with being called any honorifics and had to correct Uncle Fu twice. However, it was Uncle Fu’s natural instinct to do so, even Lin Yi couldn’t change behavior!
Even Lin Yi acknowledged that what he was doing to heal Uncle Fu is viewed as if giving a new life to another individual, in the world of martial arts.
“Oh healing progress is not bad, just need to fix one more meridian, then I should be back to normal!” Uncle Fu spoke up.
“Okay, then we will push through tonight and fix that meridian!” Lin Yi couldn’t wait. Having an Earth Class user on his side wasn’t something to look down upon! Once Uncle Fu was at his full strength, Lin Yi would have a strong ally. Now even House Yu or House Xiao, wouldn’t be able to bully them around!
“Then, I must burden you with another troublesome task!” Uncle Fu nodded as he sat in a meditative position on the bed. He prepared his body for Lin Yi’s pure energy to seep into his body.
“General Wu!” Lin Yi beckoned the beast. General Wu obediently ran to Uncle Fu’s room and sat in position to guard the area! These few days, General Wu had been doing this so routinely that it knew what to do.
“Woof Woof!” General Wu barked back to Lin Yi. This was his way of telling Lin Yi that he was in position.
Lin Yi stretched his body to warm up and sat by Uncle Fu’s bed. He activated his Art of Dragon Mastery and started injecting energy into Uncle Fu’s damaged meridian! Over these past few days, Lin Yi was responsible for restoring the damaged meridians and tonight was the last meridian!
Lin Yi’s energy steadily flowed into Uncle Fu’s body. Even with the naked eye, one can tell that Uncle Fu’s body was being pumped with energy that coursed through his meridians.
“Ahh…” Uncle Fu felt very relaxed throughout this process. With Lin Yi supplying him energy, he did his best to absorb it all. Up until a few days ago, Uncle Fu didn’t believe that Lin Yi could endlessly supply him with energy like a battery; Lin Yi’s pure energy proved that it was harmless, and beneficial to his healing so he had to accept this fact!
Lin Yi supplying the pure energy as a means of treating someone was a familiar task to him!
After around the time it would take to prepare a tea ceremony, Uncle Fu’s last damaged meridian was fixed by Lin Yi’s pure energy. Uncle Fu could now train as a spiritual arts user!
Even without having pure energy course through Uncle Fu’s meridian, Lin Yi could feel the thickness of Uncle Fu’s meridian! If there was energy running through these meridians, Uncle Fu was definitely going to become an Earth Class fighter!
This was just like the moment when Lin Yi had dropped a few grades in power level, but he still had the experience of his previous battles!
As long as Uncle Fu was able to regain his energy back, then he could be a full fledged Earth Class fighter, but it will still be harder to break through the upgrade barrier everytime.
Once Lin Yi had fully restored the damaged meridian, he had the sudden urge to rush the treatment. He couldn’t wait to restore Uncle Fu as an Earth Class fighter! Prior to all meridians were healed, Lin Yi was suppressing the energy amount that went into healing Uncle Fu!
Now that Uncle Fu’s meridians were aligned, Lin Yi unleashed the dampener.
“Today is the day!” With momentum on his side, Lin Yi grinded his teeth as he continued to supply more energy into Uncle Fu’s body. Time didn’t wait for anyone. With the sudden appearance of Xie Yufeng, Lin Yi sensed an imminent danger!
Even Xie Yufeng’s abilities were slightly above his own and he didn’t know if Xie Yufeng had the backing of someone even more powerful.

Chapter 1013 – Creating A Fighter
Even Lin Yi felt a sense of urgency. He really wanted another veteran fighter by his side. This way he wouldn’t have to be afraid of any possible hidden threats!
Which is why Lin Yi decided that today was the day he would recover Uncle Fu’s strength back to full capacity. This was all due to Xie Yufeng’s subtle actions today. Lin Yi didn’t want to expose too much of his abilities, but accidents were hard to predict so before Xie Yufeng decided to act on his terms, Uncle Fu must be fully restored!
In terms of vulnerability, this was the time where he would be in a weakened state. This was the calm that occured before a storm, so there wasn’t an excessive worry that vengeance would come knocking on their door.
Even while deep in thought, Lin Yi didn’t slow down on the energy transfer. With the Art of Dragon Mastery, he maintained a constant flow of energy into Uncle Fu’s body pushing him from just the state of recovery.
When Uncle Fu sensed that his meridians were fully healed, he wanted to jump up for joy, and stretch his legs. That was when he paused and noticed that the energy stream wasn’t decreasing with any intention of slowing down.
“Xiao Yi… You…” Uncle Fu was taken by surprised.
Lin Yi smiled as a reply. He didn’t answer verbally, instead he focused on transferring energy into Uncle Fu’s body. Uncle Fu understood the meaning of this action! Lin Yi wanted to use his own body as a catalyst to transfer energy!
Uncle Fu had been in this situation before! His wife was also a practitioner who used pure energy as a means of self healing and a booster to upgrade. Every time his wife would spend a year to gather the energy, and inject it into his body, but it only increased his level by a small fraction!
Once his wife was done with feeding the energy, she would train herself. Uncle Fu didn’t feel too guilty because this was the way House Sun was operated!
However, Lin Yi was different; he would heal strangers that he didn’t know. He would give them the full treatment, and risk losing the majority of his energy capacity. How could Uncle Fu remain calm knowing that Lin Yi was willing to take this huge risk?
Uncle Fu was surprised that Lin Yi’s energy could be used immediately. With the endless stream of energy influx, he sensed that his power was slowly recovering! This sensation was similar to when he was training his physical arts. What a refreshing feeling!
When he noticed Lin Yi’s smile, that meant he had set his goal. When he set his goal, he actually tried to accomplish it. Lin Yi wasn’t that old in age, but his determination was solid! At this point, Uncle Fu felt like he was being an inconvenience to Lin Yi, but he didn’t dare interrupt the flow of energy. That would be much more dangerous!
Now that things have progressed this far, Uncle Fu doesn’t want to waste Lin Yi’s efforts, so he started chanting his own sect’s mantra. In hopes of making the energy absorption more effective, he timed it with Lin Yi’s energy flow.
The moment Uncle Fu started on the chant, his body’s absorption rate increased, like a gate had just been unlocked. Any physical martial artist obtained their energy by absorbing and converting nature’s pure energy. This time, Uncle Fu was absorbing pure energy, but it was Lin Yi’s pure energy!
Lin Yi felt that Uncle Fu was absorbing his energy a lot quicker. Lin Yi shrugged it off, as he figured that Uncle Fu was doing his best to match him! Lin Yi didn’t have any intentions of slowing down! Higher absorption rate meant that it would be finished quicker! Lin Yi was very joyful about it!
Working intensively harder, Lin Yi was burning through his energy. As long as the end result was a renewed Uncle Fu, it didn’t matter how much energy he used. He can easily regain it all back in the pendant interdimensional space in one night’s time!
Seconds turned into minutes, Lin Yi didn’t stop as long as Uncle Fu could still intake!
The two were like monks in mediational state. There was no talking, only stern faces remained!
Uncle Fu sensed that he was about to reenter into the Golden class! He was so surprised as he didn’t dare think that it was possible. In a few minutes time, he was able to jump from the status of an average person to a Golden class power level. To forcefully power someone up, he couldn’t help but think how much pure energy it would require!
With so much pure energy, Uncle Fu thought that Lin Yi was transferring it all for free to himself! Uncle Fu felt emotional and swore to himself privately that he would do his best to repay Lin Yi! This generous gift was simply too generous!
Lin Yi sensed the change in power level stabilizing in Uncle Fu, he smiled for a little bit.
Almost the time to break through! Uncle Fu bordered the energy threshold for Golden Class. He recalled the time when he had to train for months on end to reach this same class l+evel. Was he also this excited the first time he achieved it?
“Boom!” Uncle Fu broke through the threshold barrier and his body quaked from the transition. It was a successful transition from being powerless person to a Golden Class fighter.
Smiling formed on Uncle Fu’s face. Was it always this easy for spiritual masters to reach Golden Class?
With the new breakthrough, Lin Yi couldn’t keep up with the increase in demand that Uncle Fu required.
Checking on the remaining energy within him, Lin Yi frowned. He used a third of his energy to recover Uncle Fu’s meridians and to help breakthrough into Golden Class, which left Lin Yi with the minimum operating amount of energy.
He was close to reaching his critical threshold.
Now what should he do? Give up now? Lin Yi was reluctant to do so. He didn’t want to give up on making Uncle Fu a powerhouse. It all depended on what he chose to do now!
But, with barely any energy remaining, how can he continue?
A lightbulb appeared in Lin Yi’s head, he remembered that he did something similar when he had to transfer energy over to General Wu! He had to enter his conscience into the inter dimensional realm of the pendent while maintaining his energy transfer state. Once inside the pendant, he can use his Art of Dragon Mastery to replenish his own energy supply. Then, that same energy would be transferred over to Uncle Fu.
What an idiot, as Lin Yi scold himself. Lin Yi focused his collective conscience and dove into the pendent realm.
He was running out of energy fast!
Once in the interdimensional realm, he focused on the chant specific to the Art of Dragon Mastery, which caused the dense energy to surge through his own body and in turn, converted into Uncle Fu’s body.
The transfer rate was evidently faster than before! The reason was simple, the energy in the pendent interdimensional realm far exceeds the amount of energy in Lin Yi’s body.

Chapter 1014: Difficult to understand
At this moment, Lin Yi’s body was like a transfer station and transferred the energy within the jade space into Fu Bo’s body.
Even though Lin Yi absorbed the energy really quickly, the energy didn’t even stop within his body and flowed right into Fu Bo’s body instead! Fu Bo’s body was like a bottomless pit, constantly consuming the energy transported by Lin Yi
Of course, Lin Yi wasn’t that surprised. Back then, General Weiwu already needed a lot of energy, let alone a huge guy like Fu Bo.
Although Fu Bo’s face was full of surprise, it quickly turned into shock. He originally thought that Lin would stop after transferring some energy as a foundation. After all, there was a saying which said that the Master could only take you in but training had to be done for yourself so as for future training, Fu Bo was still determined to depend on himself.
He did not expect Lin Yi to continuously transfer energy to him. However, the current situation seemed to be different from what he had imagined as Lin Yi”s energy was still being transported without any signs of stopping!
This made Fu Bo really surprised. Could Lin Yi withstand this? This was because Fu Bo had felt that he himself would soon reach the barrier of the early stages of the Yellow Rank. This kind of upgrade speed, perhaps was the first in history? Well… except for General Weiwu!!
Thinking of General Weiwu, Fu Bo really admired Chu Pengzhan. Where did Mr Chu find someone ruthless like Lin Yi? This was a bit too fierce, they could make a master just by sitting at home!
Although Fu Bo didn’t know who Lin Yi really was and which super influential sect he was from, but he could tell that making masters by sitting at home wasn’t simple. At least the background behind Lin Yi wouldn’t be smaller than his own sect, probably even stronger!
Thinking of this, Fu Bo’s gaze became hot. Him wanting revenge… wasn’t an impossible thing anymore. It was just that Lin Yi may or may not intervene and he would have to work hard on his own.
“Boom!” Without warning, Fu Bo broke through once again! He went from the peak of the early stage of the Yellow Class, straight to the middle stage! Fu Bo couldn’t help but feel secretly shocked at this upgrade speed. Too fast. To think that back then he took years to go from the early stage to the middle stage. But now, how long had this been? Just about three hours? And he went from an ordinary person to a master of the middle stage of the Yellow Class!
Thinking of those who trained so hard for their entire lives yet still couldn’t improve their strengths, Fu Bo couldn’t help but feel grief. As the saying went, comparisons were odious. Some people, not to mention upgrading from the early stage of the Yellow Class to the middle stage, even if it’s from the early stage to the peak point of the early stage, they would still go through a very difficult cultivation process.
Yet, Fu Bo broke through without any pressure within a few hours!
Fu Bo reached the middle stage of the Yellow Class, however this caused a lot of damage to Lin Yi. The amount of energy that Fu Bo needed to upgrade was obviously much more than General Weiwu. Therefore, Lin Yi felt that his body was like a sieve where energy was seeping through his body without stopping at all, the huge amounts of energy made Lin Yi’s meridians stretch in pain.
However, in order to create a master of the Earth Class, he endured the pain. Once this matter was successful, then it would be a historical breakthrough. No one would’ve thought that he had created a trump card of a master of the Earth Class.
Lin Yi felt excited just thinking about this.
As time went by, the energy absorbed by Fu Bo continued to increase sharply. Another few hours went by and Fu Bo went from the middle stage of the Yellow Class to the middle stage peak. Following this, was the unimaginable break through once again!
When the marble white colour of dawn appeared outside on the edge of the sky, Fu Bo had already gained the strength of the late stage of the Yellow Class.
Just a few days ago, Fu Bo had still dispiritedly believed that he was crippled, the strength of the late stage of the Yellow Class he had gained with great difficulty was gone just like that. Yet now he not only was able to immediately gain that strength again, but this time it would be Spiritual strength, which was even stronger than Physical!
On this end, Fu Bo was enjoying the thrill of the upgrade in rank, but Lin Yi on the other hand was not feeling as good. After all, large amounts of energy had passed through his body, giving him the feeling of just having a thread as support.
Continue! He must continue!
Lin Yi gritted his teeth and continued to operate the Art of the Dragon Mastery, allowing the energy within his body to continue to be steadily transported in to Fu Bo’s body.
At last, Fu Bo’s strength advanced towards the late stage of the Yellow Class.
A smile crossed the corner of Lin Yi’s mouth. He’s almost about to complete a leap of a high level, which made him somewhat excited.
Lin Yi could clearly feel the change in the level of the strength within Fu Bo’s body. Therefore, along with the improvement of Fu Bo’s strength, Lin Yi’s heart was also filled with excitement.
Under the strong transportation of Lin Yi’s energy, Fu Bo’s strength finally broke through to the peak of the late stage of the Yellow Class!
Lin Yi’s face showed a slight hint of joy. It has only been a few hours and Fu Bo had gone from an ordinary person to a master of the late stage of the Yellow Class. It’s even faster than riding a plane!
It seems that he would have to work harder, Fu Bo was almost about to become a master of the Mystic Class! From the late stage of the Yellow Class, the early stage of the Mystic class was only one step away! Thinking of this, Lin Yi worked even harder to operate the Art of the Dragon Mastery, allowing the energy to rapidly enter Fu Bo’s body.
However, following this, strange things started to occur.
The energy that Lin Yi was transporting within Fu Bo’s body stopped abruptly, just like adding fuel to a car and suddenly the fuel tank is full. Although Lin Yi’s Art of the Dragon Mastery didn’t stop, the energy could no longer pass through him into Fu Bo’s body, and was absorbed by Lin Yi’s own body instead.
Why was this happening? Lin Yi couldn’t help but frown. He could be sure, as his hand was still on Fu Bo’s body, that it was impossible for this kind of interruption to occur. Yet this situation still happened!
Lin Yi stopped operating the Art of the Dragon Mastery, and the energy within the Jade Room stopped flowing into Lin Yi’s body as well.
He rested for a while and once again operated the Art of the Dragon Mastery, wanting to pass the energy to Fu Bo through his own body. However, Lin Yi helplessly discovered that instead of passing it to Fu Bo, the energy was still absorbed by his own body.
Seeing the current situation, Lin Yi helplessly returned to reality from the Jade Room. After all, Lin Yi couldn’t transport any more energy to Fu Bo so Fu Bo’s strength could only stay at the late stage of the Yellow Class. This was also something that Lin Yi found difficult to understand even after giving it much thought.

Chapter 1015 – Within Reason
Uncle Fu felt the energy within his body stop transferring, but since Lin Yi hadn’t opened his eyes yet he didn’t know what he was doing, and didn’t dare interrupt him. He had many questions, but he knew to keep them to himself.
But when Lin Yi opened his eyes- he quickly spoke up, “Yi, you gave me all of your strength… You…”
“I’m fine,” Lin Yi shook his head, “I don’t know what’s wrong, but you seemed to be stuck in Golden Class late phase peak- I can’t continue to give you any.”
“Haha, Golden class late phase peak- that’s as strong as before my injury as a physical practitioner- I’m satisfied enough already, even if I can’t go higher it’s fine- I’ll still be able to continue training, and this is already much stronger than my original expectations!” Uncle Fu said gratefully, “Yi, thank you!”
“But… You’re an Earth class, and I wanted you to become an Earth class again- Golden class late phase peak isn’t supposed to be the final destination!” Lin Yi waved his hand, only giving a smile to Uncle Fu’s gratitude.
“Ah!” Uncle Fu was speechless at Lin Yi’s words!
Lin Yi was expecting that much? Earth class?! Lin YI wanted to turn him into an Earth class?? Uncle Fu didn’t even dare imagine that- Lin Yi was indeed that crazy!
“What’s wrong?” Lin Yi got pulled back to reality at his shout.
“It’s nothing…” He shook his head, “Yi, you really have some wild thoughts… Earth class… That isn’t something so simple. What would you do after you’ve given me all your qi? Even if you gave it all to me, you’re just a Mystic mid phase- how is it possible that you could create an Earth class?”
“My qi..” Lin Yi smiled bitterly. His situation was unique- it really was hard to explain this to Uncle Fu! The energy within his body wasn’t his own, it came from the jade space! The energy there was unlimited, and he could even make ten Earth class masters, not just one!
Lin Yi didn’t understand- why did everything stop right when they hit golden class late phase peak?
“Yi, it’s already a miracle that I’ve become a Golden class late phase peak- I’m already really grateful!” Uncle Fu said, even more grateful when he saw how much effort the kid had put in, “I used to be a spirtual practitioner before too. I can train on and break through to Earth phase- it’s still possible!”
Lin Yi sighed. Uncle Fu was right, but Lin Yi was already expecting an Earth class to be by his side! Uncle Fu’s strength level pausing here really did make him feel like they had lost something- this was something right at his fingertips, and now it was gone! Of course he’d be disappointed!
Especially when everything was prepared and ready, too- he had all the energy he needed, energy that applied to everyone- he could’ve continued!
So why did it stop?
This really was something he couldn’t explain!
“Uncle Fu, what did you feel the moment the energy stopped?” Lin Yi hesitated.
“Hmm,” Uncle Fu raised his head, “There wasn’t really any special feeling, but I did feel an abrupt stop to the energy you were transferring…”
“Hm…” Lin YI smiled bitterly. Uncel Fu basically gave him no information- he still didn’t know what was wrong…
“Yi, you don’t have to think about me anymore- Your strength…” Uncle Fu was still worried, “You seemed to have downgraded?”
“Ah, I’m fine… Hm?” Lin Yi suddenly jerked up- was this because he had no energy inside his body right now? Could it be that this was why Uncle Fu was unable to break through? Did he need energy within his own body in addition to the one provided by the jade space?
This guess seemed a little too simple, but it was the only possibility right now! After all, he had no other factors to consider! It seemed like evrything was ready, and just one single thing was lacking!
“Uncle Fu, I’ll go rest a bit and regain my strength- you do the same too,” Lin Yi didn’t spend too much time talking- he needed to quickly recover and then he would know whether this was the reason Uncle Fu couldn’t break through.
“Alright, Lin Yi, you go rest!” Uncle Fu nodded.
Lin Yi quickly exited the room and went to his own.
The Miss and Shu were already asleep. Since Lin Yi would heal Uncle Fu every night, the two had already gotten used to it.
Lin Yi returned to his room and quickly went into the jade space- he needed to quickly replenish the lost energy within his body- the sky was already getting bright! He had no time to waste.
A while later, the sun was up- it was already noon!
Uncle Fu had already sent Mengyao and Yushu to school, and the two of them, while curious why Lin Yi wasn’t awake yet, left it alone once Uncle Fu told them that he had used a lot of qi to heal him.
Mengyao and Yushu didn’t ask anymore questions, and he sent them to school before quickly coming back for Lin Yi, worried. There was Weiwu here, but he felt like he needed to guard Lin Yi just in case.
A click sounded from Lin Yi’s door, and he walked out.
On the sofa, the tense Uncle Fu looked at Lin Yi immediately, “Yi, how was it?”
“I’m okay- my strength’s all back now!” Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel a little bit of regret – he was still a mid phase Mystic, and it seemed that he wouldn’t be able to break through just because he had lost all his energy!
The few times that did happen was because he’d already spent time training, and the energy within him had reached its capacity, waiting for him to reach the next wall. He needed to use up all his energy only under those conditions!
But now, it hadn’t been a few days since he’d broken through into Mystic, and he still had to use all his energy to heal Uncle Fur right now- hurting his own energy. He had to practice, too, which he hadn’t been able to do. It was only natural that he wouldn’t be able to breakthrough this time!
Chapter 1017: Chapter 1016 – Helpless Result
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 1016 – Helpless Result
But even so, Lin Yi still felt a little disappointed- he still had wishful thinking that he could just keep transferring energy to Uncle Fu and then just recover- It would allow him to reach his goals instantly.
Yet now, it seemed like he was really thinking too far ahead!
Breaking himself and then repairing really did help him level up before, but that was it- it just helped. It was a supplemnet- he had to reach the wall right before breaking through, otherwise it would not happen at all!
This sort of thing really would be like a cheat- and in the end, it didn’t work! He even found it funny that he’d be as naive as to think he could just cheat the system like that. He’d be able to become Sky class easily, if that were the case!
“Recovered…” Uncle Fu took a deep breath. He was very clear on how much Lin Yi had sent over to him- not only did he repair all his nerves, he even turned him from a normal man into Gold Class late phase peak- how much energy did that require?
Even if Lin Yi didn’t lose his strength as a Mystic, he must at least be extremely tired and frail right now- and yet he was recovered!
But thinking about the things that Lin Yi had done before, he could only respond with a bitter smile. Lin Yi wasn’t someone you used common sense on.
“Uncle Fu, now that my strength is back, let’s do another experiement and see if you can break through!” Lin Yi said.
“Experiment? You just recovered your strength… Is this really okay?” Uncle Fu looked at Lin Yi, a little shocked.
“We have to experiment!” Lin Yi nodded, determined. He never gave up halfway- the things he decided to do, he would always be complete them.
“Hm.. Alright!” Uncle Fu nodded, seeing the determination in his eyes, “It seems like I’ll have to agree! Thank you for the trouble, Yi!”
Lin Yi shook his head, smiling, “It’s not a trouble at all, Uncle Fu- I just want a strong ally by my side, then these Xiaos and Yus wouldn’t be a threat at all!”
“HAH!” Uncle Fu couldn’t help but laugh at the word, “True, with my peak situation back then, House Yu and House Xiao would be merely common houses, not a threat at all…”
“Even now they’re not really threats… I am just worried about the hidden house behind House Yu.” LIn Yi said.
“Hidden house, yes…” Uncle Fu didn’t say anything, but there was still some pride in his voice- it seemed like he used to be something as strong as a hidden house, right?
Lin Yi put his hands on Uncle Fu’s shoulders, “Uncle Fu, we’re about to start!”
“Alright, I understand!” Uncle Fu took back his smile, a serious look appearing on his face. He didn’t want Lin Yi to waste his qi anymore, but he really did look forward to being able to break through again.
Lin Yi started channelling his art of the dragon mastery, and started sending all his qi to Uncle Fu’s body. Yet, something weird happened once more- he felt that the energy that he was sending wasn’t entering Uncle Fu’s body at all!
“Uncle Fu, are you channeling your arts?” Lin Yi paused.
“I am, I am!” Uncle Fu nodded, “You haven’t started yet?”
“I’ll try again,” Lin Yi frowned. He continued channeling the Art of Dragon Mastery, but the result was still the same- his qi really refused to pass through his hands into Uncle Fu, as if Uncle Fu didn’t want his qi at all!
This was the exact same as yesterday- his qi couldn’t be used by Uncle Fu!
Half an hour passed.
Lin Yi’s qi wasn’t used at all, but his face was still red, his head full of sweat!
Uncle Fu wasn’t having it easy, either- he was also sweating because of the Lin Yi’s channeling and his own worry in his heart.
“Fu…” Lin Yi breathed out unwillingly- it seemed that he had no choice but to give up now! There weren’t any ways he could get the qi through to him!
“It’s alright- I can always train on my own, there’s no problem at all,” Uncle Fu said upon seeing Lin Yi’s tired face.
“But…” Lin Yi really didn’t want to give up- it was such a waste!
Could it be that Uncle Fu’s practitioner arts were not the same type as his own? Even so, wasn’t his own Dragon Mastery arts universal? Why wasn’t it working all of a sudden?
Lin Yi stood up, and started moving around his stiff body when he laid eyes on Weiwu. He paused, '”General Weiwu, come here!”
“Woof!” Weiwu had been partcularly close with Lin Yi after he turned him into a Golden Class- he ran over instantly and leaped into his arms.
Lin Yi was thinking that if his practitioner arts were considered different from Uncle Fu’s, then he’d practically be in-sect brothers with Weiwu! Could he upgrade Weiwu instead?
He held him tight and started chanelling his Art of Dragon Mastery- to his disappointment, only a small amount of energy entered his body, and the same situation appeared! The qi stopped entering!
Lin Yi couldn’t get even an inch of that energy into Weiwu’s body, the dog was still a Golden Class late phase peak! That bit of energy that he just got into the dog was only the amount that Weiwu had just used up earlier!
Weiwu probably used up that energy when fighting Yu Bide- but since he didn’t know any practitioner’s art he couldn’t recover himself, so the enregy he used up would stay used up unless Lin Yi refilled him! He couldn’t get past the maximum capacity within Weiwu.
Lin Yi went into deep thought- Weiwu as well! Why couldn’t he get him to break through!
“Yi, Golden Class late phase peak is already good enough!!” Uncle Fu consoled once he saw that disappointment in Lin Yi’s face.
“Haha, I know…” Lin Yi sighed, “Uncle Fu, I’ll leave you and go to school then.”
He had no choice but to give up now! It seemed that he really was too naive- if his energy really was that powerful then he could be mass producing masters right now!
Yes, he did… But they were all stuck at Golden class late phase peak!
Chapter 1018: Chapter 1017 – Elder Jiao’s Explanation
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 1017 – Elder Jiao’s Explanation
Although, Golden Class End Phase Peak was already something extremely powerful in the common world. It was an extreme rarity.
But that didn’t help the Lin Yi now!
His enemies now all came from the noble houses, not the common world- they were all Mystic classes, and neither Uncle Fu nor General Weiwu could help him there!
He gave up. It seemed that this shortcut wasn’t possible after all- effort was still required.
Uncle Fu knew that Lin Yi must be terribly disappointed with the way he was sighing and shaking his head. He sighed as well,”Yi, I’ll go to Mister Chu’s company then. Will you be driving to school on your own?”
“Yeah, I’ll go myself,” Lin Yi said, “I’ll take a shower, you go first, Uncle Fu.”
“Alright,” Uncle Fu said, not worrying now that Lin Yi had regained his strength. He left the villa.
Lin Yi went back to his room and hastily went into the jade space to talk to Elder Jiao, “Elder Jiao, I thought my energy is all-powerful! How come I can’t turn Uncle Fu into an earth class? I can’t make Weiwu stronger, either?”
Lin Yi hadn’t thought of communicating with Elder Jiao before since he was hurrying to regain his strength, but now that he’d failed he had to ask.
“I’m not sure.” Elder Jiao said…
“I see…” Lin Yi smiled bittterly. Even Elder Jiao didn’t know?
“I’m not done,” Elder Jiao said, evidently not pleased by the interruption, “I have some guesses…”
“Please, Elder Jiao!” Lin Yi said.
“Your situation- I’m not sure, but I’ve seen something similar before,” Elder Jiao said slowly, “In some sects in the Wulin world, there are some secret techniques that passed on power- we can also call it passing inheritance, or an abhisheka!”
“Oh? Inheritance? Abhisheka?” Lin Yi blinked.
“Correct! It’s when an old practitioner, right before his death, passes on all of his practitioning onto his disciple using a secret technique, allowing his disciple to become stronger with great speed!” Elder Jiao said, “But, after that, the disciple will always be one level lower than his master, and would require training on his own part to reach his master’s strength.”
“Oh? One level lower…” Lin Yi thought about it.
“Yes. If all practitioners could just pass inheritance onto others, then their sect would be immensely strong, with an endless supply of masters! Other sects would fall!” Elder Jiao said, “But, despite all that, this kind of sect isn’t very big.”
“Hm… So Elder Jiao, you’re saying that I’m the same as this inheritance passing type?” Lin Yi nodded.
“It should be, more or less!” Elder Jiao said, “But, after you finish passing it on, you’re still able to regain your strength qucikly in the jade space- others can’t!”
“I see,” Lin Yi felt that this hidden card of his was a little like cheating.
“And so, since you’re just a Mystic, you’ll only be able to make a master one level lower than you, according to the logic of passing inheritance. Golden class end phase peak is the limit!”
“Man, should’ve talked with you earlier- I wouldn’t have to waste my energy on the experiments then,” Lin Yi said, knowing that what they had just concluded on was probably true.
“How would you know it wouldn’t work unless you tried it? It was only after seeing your experiment fail that I came up with this conclusion,” Elder Jiao said, “Otherwise, I would still be hoping for you to create an Earth phase yourself!”
“Yeah… But if Uncle Fu were to be able to enter the jade space that be nice…” Lin Yi said to himself.
But, Lin Yi quickly stoped that thought right as it came- even if there were other people who could enter this jade space, like Uncle Fu, he wouldn’t let him! After all, this was his final card, his trump card, and while Uncle Fu was trustworthy, this sort of secret would be better off kept from everyone except himself. It’d only add risk if he told anybody.
Lin Yi had sweated a lot during the experiment, and he had also given up on creating an Earth phase now that he had discussed with Elder Jiao. It wasn’t realistic- unless he had the strength of a sky class! Although, if he were a sky class, what was the point of mass creating earth classes?
Lin Yi took off his clothes and turned on his phone before showering.
He had switched it off earlier in case someone were to interrupt him. He wondered if anyone wanted to contact him during that time…
Donghai, Miracle Doctor Kang’s home.
Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben stood outside Miracle Doctor Kang’s villa, and in their hands were valuable gifts. They were here to visit.
Miracle Doctor Kang didn’t let them in right away upon hearing his servant’s report- he only gathered Kang Guifeng, Kang Cuipu, Kang Zhaolong, and Kang Zhaoming together to start a family meeting.
“House Xiao is here for Zhaolong’s marriage, this much is definite. Guifeng, what do you think?” Miracle Doctor Kang said to his eldest son.
“Father, far as I can tell, House Xiao is now like a beaten dog. Uncle Pi’s become a vegetable, and the Xiaos still owe Lin Yi a bunch of debt- the death of their house is close. We should stay away from them!” Guifeng said. From his angle, the Xiaos had lost their value completely!
Miracle Doctor Kang nodded. He didn’t let the Xiaos enter because of that reason as well! House Xiao’s misfortunes were noted by him these days, after all, they were completely done for! They didn’t even feel like a noble house at this point, they weren’t even a normal big house!
To avoid putting it bluntly, House Xiao was still a noble house, but everyone knew that the next noble house meeting would end in House Xiao getting cut off! A fallen house no stronger than a regular rich house? It was impossible.
“Guifeng’s right- House Xiao is in a tragic state!” Miracle Doctor Kang said. “We wanted to use their strength to enter into the world of noble houses, but they can’t even handle themselves now! Not only will they be unable to provide us with any benefits, they still have a huge amount of debt on their shoulders- and this marriage alliance would only pull us into that debt as well! Cuipu, what are your thoughts?”
He looked at his second son.
“There is a saying, that a dead camel is still larger than a horse. House Xiao may not necessarily be completely useless, I think. If we were to merge together, House Xiao may still be able to maintain their position as a noble house, and we’d be the dominant party…” Cuipu was an uneducated man and so his ideas were a mess.

Chapter 1018 – House Kang’s Thoughts on House Xiao
“Absurd! Merge? Would we be House Kang or House Xiao then?” Miracle Doctor Kang waved his hand, interrupting his son impatiently, “Alright, enough! Zhaolong, give me your thoughts!”
“Yes, grandpa!” Zhaolong said respectfully, “Grandpa, what second uncle said does make sense as well, but what we should do isn’t to merge, but to replace them! Now that they’ve fallen, we need to let them fall even more! Only when it’s a solid fact that they’ll be removed from the noble houses will we have the potential to rise up! Looking at the current non-noble houses right now, us House Kang is the one with the most potential!”
“Oh? Not bad!” Miracle Doctor Kang started laughing, “Hahaha! Zhaolong’s right! House Xiao has fallen… We’ll have to push them down even more! The more they fall, the more chance we have! Well said, well said! Brilliant ideea!”
“You flatter me, grandpa!” Zhaolong said humbly with a smile.
Cuipu frowned. His words didn’t make sense for shit! Zhaolong only said to give him some face, he knew himself that his words were bullshit! He had no strategy or plans.
“Zhaoming? What about you, what do you think?” Miracle Doctor Kang looked at Zhaoming.
“Grandpa, big brother is right, but I think that we shouldn’t burn the bridge just yet,” Zhaoming felt that his father had just lost face, and so, as a son, he needed to make a comeback. He wanted to make a good impression on his grandpa, too, so he’d been thinking deeply for a long time before saying this.
“Oh? Tell me, why shouldn’t we?” Zhaoming’s words did have value to Miracle Doctor Kang. He may just be a tyrant rich kid, but he was much more useful than his father Cuipu!
“Grandpa, there’s a saying that even dried fish can turn things around one day!” Zhaoming said, “House Xiao may have fallen now, but they’re still a noble house, and we can’t know for sure what connections they have- what if they were to rise again? We can’t be too sure!”
“Rise again?” Miracle Doctor Kang shook his head. From his view, House Xiao was done for- it was impossible for them to turn things around. But, Zhaoming did do a lot for House Kang recently, and so he didn’t scold him, “Then what do you think we should do?”
“I think that the marriage between House Xiao can’t be broken, except that it shouldn’t be brother’s marriage!” Zhaoming smiled embarassedly at this point, “We can turn brother’s marriage onto me, and I’ll step down and accept that pretty Xiao girl. I’m just a tyrant young master, after all, so if House Xiao still falls, I’ll can kick her out of the family without consequence, since that’s my reputation from the start! I play with women, so other people wouldn’t be able to say anything! But brother? He can’t do that! We’ll be stuck in a marriage with them even after they fall!”
Miracle Doctor Kang seemed to be in thought after hearing that. Zhaolong, on the other hand, started laughing, “Brother, you have your eye on Wang Xinyan? There’s plenty of girls everywhere, no matter what, that’s your sis-in-law. You shouldn’t be thinking about things like that!”
Kang Zhaoming clearly had that intention in mind, so he blushed when exposed. He tried to explain, “I’m doing it for the good of House Kang!”
“We’ll do it according to Zhaolong’s method,” Miracle Doctor Kang said after Zhaolong spoke, not commenting on Zhaoming’s idea any further, “Zhaoming, Zhaolong’s right- you shouldn’t put too much focus on women if you want to do great things.”
“Yes, grandpa…” Zhaoming actually did think it was a viable plan! Of course, getting Xinyan would be great, but what if House Xiao wasn’t removed from the noble families?
After all, House Yu had suffered as well- what if they wanted good karma, and let House Xiao go for a while first? Or what if they treated House Xiao as the enenmy of an enemy? House Xiao still had value!
But Zhaoming knew that nothing he said would be useful anymore, since his grandpa thought that he just wanted to play with Xinyan. Well, he did, of course.
Now that House Kang had decided on how they were going to treat House Xiao, there was nothing that could change it.
Guifeng walked out the house himself, walking towards the Xiao brothers.
The two had been waiting outside for a long time, and it had been thirty minutes since the servant saw them. It started to frustrate the brothers.
“Little brother, do you think House Kang would refuse us? Fuck, such shallow people! They tried their damned hardest to stick to us when we were strong, and now that something’s happened, this is how they treat us?” Xiao Ji ill-tempered, and so he started cussing, “How long has it been, thirty minutes? Where the hell is everyone, what the fuck is House Kang doing?!”
“…” Xiao Ben looked at his raging brother and sighed, “Brother, calm down! It’s more than just something that’s happened, Uncle Pi’s a vegetable now, and we’ve lost our only pillar! We still have a huge debt due to that brat Lin Yi. We have way too much trouble surrounding us, and it’s only normal that they wouldn’t want to meet us!”
“Normal? Shameless and shallow, I’d say?” Xiao Ji hmphed, “What the hell.”
“Brother, someone’s here! Enough!” Xiao Ben’s eyes were sharp- he saw the door opened, and quickly told Xiao Ji to stop before he was heard.
Xiao Ji shut up immediately- he only wanted to curse at them to relieve some anger, but now that they were out he didn’t dare. After all, they were here to beg them, not the other way around!
But the person who came out, surprising the two brothers, was not Mirarcle Doctor Kang, but his eldest son Kang Guifeng, the father of Zhaolong! Xiao Ben relaxed. Sending such a big name to greet them… Perhaps there was hope.
With the thought, he smiled and moved forward, “Big brother Kang, why’ve you come out yourself? You didn’t have to!”
Xiao Ji blinked as well, not expecting Kang Guifeng to greet them hismelf. His rage lessened significantly, “Big brother Kang!”
“May I know what business you two, Xiao brothers, have with House Kang?” Guifeng’s face, however, wasn’t friendly at all. He spoke in a cold voice, as if they weren’t close at all!
Chapter 1020: Chapter 1019 – Bad Memory
Guifeng’s attitude, however, visibly shocked the two brothers!
After all, their children were soon to be married- they were relatives soon! Even though they weren’t actually in-laws yet, Guifeng didn’t have to be this cold, did he? It was like he didn’t know the two brothers at all!
“Brother Kang, what do you mean? House Kang and House Xiao will soon be bound by marriage- is there anything wrong with us visiting?” Xiao Ben said, pretending.
“Marriage? Since when did that happen?” Guifeng paused, “I don’t think so? Xiao Ben, have you remembered wrong?”
“I…” Xiao Ben didn’t know how to respond to this- Guifeng was just flat out denying everthing! He didn’t look so friendly anymore, either, “Brother Kang, aren’t your son, Zhaolong, and my niece, Xinyan, already engaged?”
“Engaged? Ah, my horrible memory… Is it true?” Guifeng looked confused as he slapped his forehead, “I really can’t remember, can you remind me which day the engagement was made, and in which hotel? Where people there at the engagement party?”
“What?” Xiao Ben and Xiao Ji froze.
The engagement was just an agreement, it wasn’t written on paper, and there was no engagement party! They didn’t do any of that at all, there was no hotel or people!
They understood at this point- Guifeng was intentionally pushing away the engagement!
House Xiao had fallen, and Guifeng most likely didn’t want to be related to them anymore, so he brought out this ridiculous act!
“Brother Kang, wasn’t this an agreement on both our parts?” Xiao Ben pushed down his anger.
He knew that breaking into rage now would only lessen their already slim chances, and that would be exactly what the Kang’s wanted- to break the engagement using that rage.
“Agreement?” Guifeng frowned confusedly, “I don’t quite remember?”
“You…” Xiao Ben was pissed, and Xiao Ji was about to go on a rampage and begin yelling.
“Ah, I’m sorry! My memory hasn’t been good, you see, I don’t quite remember everything… This past while, many scammers came to me saying we have an engagement, but they couldn’t bring out any proof…” Guifeng shook his head troubled, “How about this, Xiao Ben, you Xiaos are considered a noble house, and I know that you wouldn’t lie. But, I can’t feel safe without proof! If you bring out proof to show that our two children are engaged, then I’d give my blessings! After all, you’re a noble house, it’s an honor to be allied through marriage!”
“F…” Xiao Ji was about to explode when Xiao Ben gave him a glare.
“Haha, if that’s the case, we don’t need any proof! Why don’t we redo the engagement then? We of House Xiao think that House Kang is rather nice, too!” Xiao Ben was a smart man as he followed up on Guifeng’s words.
“Uh…” Guifeng froze, not expecting for Xiao Ben to catch him off guard like this! He was frustrated of his own mistakes.
Xiao Ji, on the other hand, only looked at his brother in admiration. Brilliant, truly brilliant! Fortunately for them, he hadn’t started barking yet, or the whole thing would’ve flopped!
“Haha, you’re right, Xiao Ben, but unfortuantely, I can’t say yes!” Guifeng shook his head, rejecting.
“Why not? Could it be that what Kang Bro said earlier was simply just courtesy?” Xiao Ben continued pressing on.
“No, that’s not it. It’s just that our Zhaolong did in fact have an engagement with someone, except I just can’t remember who! So, before proof has been given, I won’t be able to make new engagements for him in this while! What if someone with actual proof came and accused us of breaking the agreement?” Guifeng said, “So, Old bro Xiao Ben, please do look for proof! I’m old now, I really can’t trust this old brain of mine, nor my memory!”
With that, he left and went for the villa. He waved his hand, “I still have something to attend to- farewell!”
Xiaoben’s face darkened. The situation was clear- they were breaking off the engagement and abandoning House Xiao!
Yet, one couldn’t blame House Kang for their actions- it was only natural that they would do this after what happened to House Xiao! Big houses all wanted support through an alliance marriage, not a burden!
“Fuu…” Xiao Ben sighed, “Let’s go back, brother. It’s over.”
“Fucking shit! You blind dogs, wait until our rise back to glory, I’ll make you bastards lick my toes then! I don’t need you!” Xiao Ji started blasting, “You old shit Miracle Doctor Kang, breaking your word! You old shit! Hope you die tomorrow!!”
But the doors remained close, and nobody responded. Guifeng never planned on coming back out again.
“Let’s go!” Xiao Ben said helplessly.
“House Kang, just wait! You’ll regret this!” Xiao Ben said, walking behind Xiao Ben after relieving his stress.
Guifeng, who was behind the door, smiled mockingly as he looked at the two, “House Xiao? You’ve become rats in an alley- there’s no hope for a comeback anymore! In your dreams!”
Xiao Ben and Xiao Ji got in the car, though Xiao Ji was still yelling and cursing House Kang in every possible way- it was as if he had something to say to all the ancestors of House Kang!
“Alright, brother, stop cursing at them- this is our misfortune!” Xiao Ben sighed, “Now we should be focusing on our future!”
“You’re right!” Xiao Ji nodded. He was uncultured, but he knew that being angry didn’t help even if he cursed the entirety of House Kang.
“Have you found out about Uncle Pi’s origins?” Xiao Ben asked.
“I’ve told Xiao Wangba and Xiao Wangdao to search our family logs, but it’s been too long, and without a target… We don’t know when we’ll find it,” Xiao Ji said.
“If only Uncle Pi could wake up and speak…” Xiao Ben said.
“It’s all because of that bitch, Gou Huli!” Xiaoji said, pissed off.
