Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1387: Exchange Terms

Chapter 1386 – Exchange Terms

“Stop? What are you saying?” Lin Yi raised his head, his eyes sharp, “Are you going back on your word?”

“There are still other medicines here, such as qi returning elixirs and toxin cleansing elixirs- those might be more beneficial to you. Give me these two qi gathering pills, and I’ll let you have everything else- what do you think?” Elder Yu said as he pointed at the other cabinets.

“Are you out of your mind?” Lin Yi looked at him, dumbfounded, “We agreed that if we find the qi gathering elixirs and medical notes, I’d get to keep one if there’s two. If we find the medical notes, I’d also get to make a copy of it. Other than that, you said that you didn’t want anything else in this tomb, so I can take the elixir if I want it! What does it have to do with you?”

“That’s...” Elder Yu’s face didn’t look very good. Lin Yi was right, he did say that- but that was because he thought there would only be one qi gathering pill, he didn’t think there would be two! Now he wanted both!

His intentions were to keep one for himself and give the other one to House Yu. He was an Earth class, and he might reach Earth class late phase peak one day- at that time, he could use this elixir and break through to Sky phase, then he’d break through the ranks in the hidden House Yu!

Yet, if there was only one, even if it was him who discovered it, he couldn’t use it- it would have to be given to the core members of the hidden house Yu! He didn’t have the right!

But, Lin Yi wasn’t giving it to him, messing up his plans! He was an Earth class, so why was a Mystic talking to him like this? Even a late phase peak Mystic would have his heart thumping if he met him- Earth and Mystic were two complete different worlds!

But Lin Yi wasn’t afraid at all, and he also had a hidden card which was his qi energy bomb- this was what made him cautious when it came to him. He could be pissed off, but he couldn’t be too confrontational towards Lin Yi right now.

“Just take the one you have- if it wasn’t for the fact that I don’t want to fight to the death with you, I wouldn’t even give you one bottle,” Lin Yi said as he put his qi gathering pill into his pocket and left the other for Elder Yu.

“!!!” Elder Yu’s heart exploded when he heard the words, but there was nothing he could do! The more Lin Yi threatened to fight to the death with him, the less he wanted to piss him off, especially with all the injuries he currently had! His right arm was hurt, both his legs were hurt, and most importantly, his crotch was hurt as well!

With this many injuries, he couldn’t guarantee that he would win a fight against Lin Yi. This was what made him so defensive.

Elder Yu took the small bottle out of the drawer and clenched his jaw, “Then all the other elixirs are mine...”

“Don’t force me to bomb you to death,” Lin Yi said faintly.

“You-!” Elder Yu backed off with that sentence alone- it took a moment until he spoke again, “I won’t argue with you because I’m injured! But don’t think I’m afraid of you!”

Elder Yu thought to himself that Lin Yi wouldn’t get to be cocky for much longer- after he recovered a few days later, he would just take it from him by force!

Lin Yi quickly moved to the other cabinet and opened everything that had the label medicine. Most of them were empty however, with only some of them holding anything.

The ones with stuff in them had the qi returning elixir, the injury medicine, painkiller water, and life extension pill. These four were extremely normal elixirs, with only the qi returning elixir being classified at an ‘elixir’ level. This meant that they could only be refined by people who had the level of elixir refiner. The other stuff like painkiller water and injury medicine and life extension elixir on the other hand, was the type of thing Lin Yi could just mass produce if he knew the recipe, and even improve it and control the cost.

But the qi returning pill wasn’t of much use to Lin Yi- he had previously heard of the general idea of the pill- it was used to recover a certain amount of strength in a short period of time, but it couldn’t be used continuously. Short intervals just wasn’t efficient.

Lin Yi had the jade space too, so there was nothing this elixir could do for him.

He took out everything from the drawers and stuffed them all to Xiaoke, “All for you- take them. With your low amount of skill and the amount of times you come out on dangerous adventures, challenging people here and there- it’s better if you have some medicine with you.”

“Ah? You’re giving it all to me?” Xiaoke froze- this was all good stuff! She couldn’t beleive it, wasn’t this guy treating her too nicely? Did he really have feelings for her?

Low amount of skill... Yes, she supposed so- at least it seemed like she wasn’t on the same level as the male thief. He was a Mystic, after all, much stronger than her shifu- it was something Xiaoke could only dream of. But... challenging people here and there? She didn’t do that!

When did she challenge anybody? It seemed that she’d only done that once, just that once, when Lin Yi insulted her, she stood out to challenge him... But how did this male thief know?

He wasn’t Lin Yi, was he?! Xiaoke wiped that daring thought away quickly with a shake of her head.

How was that possible? Lin Yi would never be here as some weird graverobber- wasn’t that too much of a stretch? Plus, he was treating her so well- Lin Yi treated her much worse! How could they be the same person? It was impossible- with how despicable Lin Yi was, it was an insult to the kindness the male thief had shown her!

Before entering the tomb, the male thief was already very caring towards her- in the tomb, he protected her so many times, as well- he was a great person! How could he be the same person as that great jerk Lin Yi?

Xiaoke’s thoughts would probably piss Lin Yi off if he heard her- just putting on a mask made him a different person? What the hell?

“Take it. Don’t come graverobbing next time, it’s too dangerous,” Lin Yi said solemnly as he reminded her. If he wasn’t here this time, then Xiaoke would’ve been done for!

“Okay!” Xiaoke nodded, remembering these words. True, it was too dangerous! She still felt scared after thinking about it- if it weren’t for the male thief protecting her the whole time, she would have been dead for sure!

That Old Hei even wanted to use her as cannon fodder too- this just pissed her off! The guy was an even worse jerk than Lin Yi!

Lingshan could only pretend she didn’t see what Lin Yi did- what he took was unimportant stuff, anyway. She would have stopped him for sure if he had taken the ancient items though!
