School Beauty Personal Bodyguard Chapter 80-81

Chapter 80 - Healing

LATE BUT EDITED

So theres this part in the last posting where Lin Yi was l.u.s.ting after the girl's flesh, but I messed up and made it look like he pulled her pants off for pervy stuff. It's edited now, but remember that Lin Yi pulled the pants off with saving the girl as the top priority

The girl's pantyhose could very well have stuck to the wound, as thing stood. Pulling it off would very likely result in even greater blood loss.

Lin Yi frowned. There weren't any surgical tools in the room, but Lin Yi did feel something hard in the girl's pants as he yanked them off earlier, probably a dagger from the feel of it. It was the only sharp thing he had, and Lin Yi decided to use it for surgery.

He picked up her pants and pulled the dagger out, spinning it a couple of times in his hand to get a firmer grasp on it.

Knifeplay was one of Lin Yi's strong suits- his primary melee weapon when practicing a.s.sa.s.sination weapons with his mentor was the dagger, after all. It was also the most common weapon his enemies employed.

Lin Yi used the tip of the knife to pick at the connecting points of the pantyhose's fibers, taking care to not touch anything else. The pantyhose was reduced to tatters in a matter of seconds, and Lin Yi tugged lightly at it to pull part of it off. He threw it to the side.

The wound finally came into sight- it was at the right side of her thigh, and had been wrapped in simple bandaging already. Evidently, it wasn't very effective, and the blood didn't look like it would stop flowing any time soon. The girl wouldn't have had gone looking for Golden Creation Medicine or anything if that wasn't the case, too.

The girl's legs were long and slim, but Lin Yi wasn't in the mood to be paying attention to that kind of thing at this point- he wasn't sick like that. Lin Yi wouldn't be l.u.s.ting after a woman's thighs when they were covered in blood, no matter how exquisite they were.

He cut open the bandaging, and proceeded to inspect the wound.

It was an extreme case, but Lin Yi let out a breath of relief- the arteries were untouched. Lin Yi would have had to resort to sending her to the hospital if even the arteries were damaged- he simply wasnt equipped to be performing a surgery like that.

The wound was triangular, clearly caused by a triangular knife that'd been stabbed into the flesh. A triangular wound had to be st.i.tched back together for the bleeding to cease.

The girl had most likely bandaged herself after the stabbing, deciding to pay the pharmacy a visit for some Golden Creation upon realizing that the wound was bleeding. There wasn't any Golden Creation left, and the girl fell unconscious on her way back from too large a loss of blood.

Lin Yi understood the girl's position- a.s.sa.s.sination was a special job, and a.s.sa.s.sins rarely went to the hospitals when injured during missions. Their ident.i.ties had to be kept as secret as possible, after all.

Having understood the source of the injury, Lin Yi decided to start applying medicine. Deep as the wound may be, the blade hadn't reached the arteries. It shouldn't be too big a problem for Lin Yi to handle.

Lin Yi went over to the stuff he'd bought from the pharmacy, speedily grinding a couple of the ingredients together. The process was something Lin Yi was very well-practiced with; back in the African jungles, his medicine was something his teammates looked forward to the most. He had to prepare an entire bag's worth for it to be split properly.

The bandages couldn't be used anymore- they were completely soaked from the blood. Lin Yi hadn't prepared any bandages beforehand, as well- he'd have to find something else as replacement.

His school uniform was new, and Lin Yi wasn't really keen on ripping a piece off to bandage this a.s.sa.s.sin girl. He made his way to the bathroom and found some disposable disinfectant bath towels. A sign was placed beside the towels: '40 kuai'.

These kinds of one time use towels would never go beyond the twenty kuai mark in supermarkets, but hotels were known for labelling things like this with higher prices. There was also a regular towel the hotel provided, albeit not a disposable item.

The disinfectant bath towels were prepared for those who were obsessed with being sanitary, after all.

Lin Yi decided to use the disinfectant towels- they could serve as makes.h.i.+ft bandages.

He applied the medicine he had grinded earlier onto the wound when a low moan came from the girl. Lin Yi didn't pay her any attention- of course it'd hurt when medication touched any wound.

Lin Yi then proceeded to tear the bath towels into multiple pieces, and swiftly completed bandaging the girl's wound.

"Fuu!" Lin Yi exhaled when finished. Now that he looked at it, the main problem was really just the loss of blood- chances of survival were very high now that the bleeding had been stopped.

Though, it went without saying that a.s.sa.s.sins usually had more vitality and endurance- as far as Lin Yi could tell, the girl was pretty much going to survive this. She'd feel a little weak upon regaining consciousness, but that should be it.

Lin Yi started getting to his own business after finis.h.i.+ng with the a.s.sa.s.sin girl. He'd only used up the required portion of his ingredients on the girl- there was still Huaijun he had to take care of!

What he'd given the girl was, in essence, grindings of ingredients. It didn't take much for that to be prepared, but the medicine Huaijun needed required a longer period of time- he'd have to boil it slowly, and make sure that every ingredient was added on strict schedule and order. One little slip up and the medicine would suffer a big loss in effectiveness, failing to produce antic.i.p.ated results.

This was also why Lin Yi refrained from handing Huaijun a recipe- the process was a complex one, unlike the processes used for the painkiller sedatives Huaijun was taking; Those only required grinding a couple of medicinal ingredients together, after all.

Lin Yi also didn't want the recipe spreading out, too- he trusted Huaijun, but there was no guarantee that the guy wouldn't accidentally let the secret slip out. It'd cause a huge uproar in the medicine world.

Lin Yi put the pot and alcohol stove he'd purchased earlier on a flat surface, and proceeded to boil Huaijun's medicine. The hotel provided electronic equipment for tea making, but fire was superior when making Eastern medicine.

Medicine making via boiling was a very taxing procedure, but Lin Yi was someone who'd made straw sandals on a regular basis. This much was nothing to him.

Lin Yi used the time on his phone as reference, adeptly adding the ingredients at the appropriate times. Lin Yi wasn't sure how much time had pa.s.sed since he'd started, but he sensed a faint stirring from the bed behind him.

His focus was currently occupied by the medicine making, and he'd never have heard the soft movements if his ears weren't so sensitive.

Lin Yi didn't look back- what he was working on required absolute attention- there were a couple of ingredients in his palm already, waiting to be dropped into the pot when the time was right.

Lin Yi was aware that the girl might've woken up already, but he had something more important than that going on in front of him. It'd be fine if she could just get up and exit the room quietly, however- the two of them would forget each other this way from that point on. Lin Yi never expected the girl to pay him any grat.i.tude or anything of the sort from the moment he decided to save her, anyway.

Chapter 81 - Mister Dongguo

Lin Yi didn't expect the girl to be paying him any grat.i.tude, but it didn't seem like the young lady was going to leave Lin Yi alone.

His attention was fully focused on the medicine in the pot before him, but the killing intent from behind Lin Yi hit him, coupled with the danger signals the jade was sending off.

Lin Yi frowned- the medicine boiling was at a critical stage, and this was no time to be dealing with the girl. "Don't mess around!"

Yang Qiqi was confused. She'd lost consciousness on her way back from the pharmacy from the loss of blood, but Lin Yi pulling her pants off woke her as they scratched against the wound. The pain brought her back to consciousness, but her body was so weak that even opening her eyes was beyond her. It wasn't a long time before she fainted again.

The pain from Lin Yi's treatment later on woke her up too, but it didn't take long before she fainted once more. The two instances, as a result, gave her some awareness of the situation.

This man before her had saved her life. At the same time, however, he'd seen many things he shouldn't have! Her face, her thighs… Something like this was absolutely intolerable for Qiqi!

It was discomforting for Qiqi to murder her saviour, but her face was only meant for one man- this person had crossed the line!

With the decision made, Yang Qiqi reached for her dagger on the bed, silently creeping up to Lin Yi's back. Her movements clearly hesitated upon seeing what Lin Yi was up to.

Was he making medicine for her? The warmth of the action got to her- she'd really rather not kill the man who was caring for her.

She admitted that her heart wasn't as cold and as merciless as the hearts of other a.s.sa.s.sins, but this man, at the end of the day, was her saviour!!

Qiqi was in the midst of her hesitation when the man snapped: "Don't mess around!" Qiqi froze at the words- she was about to murder him, and the guy told her not to mess around?

His tone made it sound like she was a kid playing around- did he think she was gonna run around the room or something?

"Didn't you hear about the Mister Dongguo story when you were a kid?" Lin Yi started, his head still unturned. "I feel like that Mister Dongguo right now."

Qiqi's face changed- of course she knew that story. She was raised in an a.s.sa.s.sin's organization, but there was a distinct difference between her and the other a.s.sa.s.sins growing up alongside her. She'd received proper education outside of a.s.sa.s.sination.

The story of Mister Dongguo was a cla.s.sic fable, about a Mister Dongguo who'd saved a wolf, only to be eaten by it after bringing it back.

Lin Yi's words reminded Yang Qiqi of his earlier statement, telling her not to mess around. Evidently, this man was aware of her intentions!

The fact that he'd mentioned the fable proved it- he was mocking her ungratefulness!

Who the h.e.l.l was this guy? A s.h.i.+ver ran down Qiqi's spine- he'd sensed the a.s.sa.s.sination attempt, for one thing, but what was with his composure? Why was his back still turned, as if there were nothing to fear?

For what purpose did the man save her? The reason was suspicious enough for Qiqi's heart to colden in resolve. She stabbed at Lin Yi's neck with the dagger with even more power, not even one trace of hesitation left.

Lin Yi couldn't believe it- the girl was taking advantage of both his hands being occupied. With a frown, Lin Yi snapped his head to the side, dodging the dagger and retaliating with his teeth, biting and grabbing hold of both the knife and Qiqi's fingers.

"Ah-!" Qiqi let go of the knife from the pain- her body hadn't recovered yet: getting off the bed and behind Lin Yi was managed out of pure will. With no energy left, Qiqi slumped back onto the floor, her breathing heavy as beads of cold sweat started trickling down her forehead. Her wound seemed to have opened up a little, as well.

Lin Yi spat the dagger out over to the other side of the room, turning his attention back to the medicine. "You're really ungrateful! Whatever, I'll let it go, just leave. I might feel like killing you after I'm done with this medicine, so go."

Yang Qiqi understood immediately- Lin Yi was no normal man. Could a normal man dodge her surprise attack? Could a normal man bite onto her dagger? Lin Yi's words also made it clear that the medicine was never meant for her- she'd been thinking too much.

"Hmph!" Qiqi glared at Lin Yi with unwillingness and humiliation, but she was never a reckless girl. Recklessness was detrimental to a.s.sa.s.sins- the reckless ones always got killed off fast.

Lin Yi's ability was demonstrated clearly: he was able to disarm her with both hands occupied. Having comprehended the strength difference between the two of them, Qiqi gave up on trying to kill him. She didn't think she'd be able to take this man on even if she were fully recovered!

There wasn't any killing intent coming off from this man, not in the slightest- the aura she sensed from him was one full of incomprehensible mystery, the type of aura her own father wore! Lin Yi was only the second person who'd made her feel like this.

Qiqi silently picked her leather pants up, spotting the dried-up blood on it. It'd be a little uncomfortable, but the appearance wasn't affected. There wasn't anything else to change into, and so Qiqi decided not to complain.

"Don't forget to close the door." Lin Yi said, as if he had eyes on his back.

"......" Qiqi stepped out of the room, speechless. She slammed the door shut.

"One, sorry- the man's my savior, and I'm not at his level yet… Don't worry, I'll remember him. He'll die by my own hand one day, caz I'm yours alone… your little Seven." Qiqi swore after closing the door. In actuality, Yang Qiqi's name (Qi is seven in Chinese) wasn't always that- 'Seven' was only her codename in her a.s.sa.s.sin training cla.s.s. She was the youngest, placing her in the seventh spot. Other members of her team went by numbers, as well.

It never occurred to Lin Yi that an oath for his life was taking place right outside those doors, especially when he'd just saved a life.

"Achooo!" Lin Yi sneezed- he was no stranger to the smell that the medicine emitted, so where was the sneeze coming from? It was the second sneeze today, did he really manage to catch a cold?

When had his body become so weak, catching a cold right after getting to Songshan? Was it because of how relaxed everything was?
