Beauty and the Bodyguard - Chapter 1362


Chapter 1362: Coming Back Chapter 1361 – Coming Back “It has something to do with the piles of bones?” Lingshan asked.

“Yes.

” Lin Yi nodded.

“There’s something alive thing in here, and those corpses got eaten by it.

” “Tomb guardians?” Xiaoke said in surprise.

“What are those?” Lin Yi wasn’t an actual graverobber.

He didn’t know about this.

“Tomb guardians are the protectors of the tomb.

They used to be the housekeepers of the original tomb owner, and their descendants took the job after they died, with their descendants after that, or it might be the housekeeper’s housekeepers… But something like this is really rare now.

” Xiaoke said.

“You’re saying that there are tom guardians in here, and they ate those people?’ Lin Yi asked.

“It might be people, but it might be a beast as well.

Tomb guarding beasts was recorded in some ancient graverobber’s manual.

It’s a type of spirit beast that protected the tomb specifically, living in it and protecting it.

It’ll be in a state of hibernation when no one is here, but when someone invaded the tomb it wakes, and eats the graverobbers to replenish itself before going into hibernation again…” Xiaoke said.

“If these people weren’t eaten by their companions, then it was done by the spirit beast.

” “Oh? That kind of thing exists?” Lin Yi was a bit surprised.

“And Old Hei doesn’t know this?” “Maybe, maybe not.

It’s just a legend after all, and I saw it in some ancient texts.

Might have been made up to scare people.

But nobody’s ever heard of a spirit beast in these years of graverobbing, although tomb guardians were found before- but those lived outside of the tomb, not inside!” Xiaoke said.

“Plus, these tomb guardians have continued down the line for tens or hundreds of generations.

They don’t even know where the specific location of the tomb is anymore; they just know it’s a legend from their ancestors.

COM “I see.

” Lin Yi nodded.

This spirit beast was probably similar to that Fire Spirit’s fruit his old man mentioned, it was one of the extremely rare things, to the point where people didn’t believe in it anymore.

“Then, these guys would probably meet the legendary spirit beast of the tomb then, that’s quite interesting.

” “Then will they… All get eaten?” Lingshan frowned involuntarily.

“Who knows?” Lin Yi shrugged.

Lingshan didn’t say anything- things were already beyond her expectations, and while she didn’t want these guys dying so she could apprehend them, this wasn’t a case where they could just do what she wanted.

Even Lin Yi couldn’t do anything right now! If he was confident, they wouldn’t be waiting here.

And so, after a quick exchange of glances, Lingshan and Yutian stayed silent.

If they could apprehend those lackeys up there, it would be something as well.

“Right, mister thief, can I ask you something?” Xiaoke couldn’t hold it in anymore.

They weren’t close before, but they’ve been talking for a bit now, and she was a lot less nervous.

“What is it?” “Why… are you helping me?” Xioake said after some hesitation.

“Oh…” Lin Yi knew that he couldn’t expose his identity, but after a sigh, he decided he shouldn’t, after all.

He smiled.

“Because you’re pretty, I want to take you like my small wife, okay?” “Wha?!” Xiaoke’s eyes were wide open, her face red as she cleared her throat, stuttering.

“No-No way, right?” Xiaoke’s shocked face amused him a little.

“So don’t go asking questions you shouldn’t be asking.

” “Oh…” Xiaoke nodded, a little embarrassed.

Lingshan was getting pissed, almost jumping out to point at Lin Yi and yelling at him.

Just why wasn’t she a candidate? Why was getting some small thief girl as a small wife better than considering her?! Damn it! “Ha…” Lin Yi felt that this Xiaoke girl was quite interesting.

“What’s your net worth?” Xiaoke suddenly asked after some silence.

“What?” Lin Yi paused.

COM “It’s not a big deal, just considering what your net worth is.

If it’s worth, me being your small wife and all.

I’m just wondering how much dowry you could give?” Xiaoke seemed to be seriously considering it.

“I was joking.

” Lin Yi said, feeling a bit bad once he saw Xiaoke consider it so seriously.

He could tell what Xiaoke was thinking- she thought that this couple must be very rich; after all, they were tomb robbers.

Perhaps she thought that helping others raid tombs was too dangerous, especially this one time, where she would die if she weren’t careful.

This was basically her way of selling herself for a good price, ensuing in the orphanage being well-funded for in the future.

She might really have nodded if it was a good price.

In her eyes, she didn’t care about her own happiness at all, only for the orphanage… “Haha, I was joking too…” Xiaoke smiled.

In truth, Lin Yi had guessed right- that was exactly what she was thinking.

If Lin Yi could take out money that was really really good for the orphanage, making them not worry about finances and stuff for a long period of time, Xiaoke was willing to be his small wife, even a small mistress! But Xiaoke still shook her head self mockingly- she wasn’t some big one of a kind beauty, why would people spend so much money on her? Was that possible? Her thoughts might get the man bankrupt, and even if he really wanted to have her as his small wife, her request would probably force him away! The four stayed there for a while more, and after half an hour, a rushed collection of footsteps rushed at them.

“THey’re back?” Lingshan said after hearing it.

“Seem to be running back?” Yutian frowned.

“This is bad!” Lin Yi’s heart dipped- the jade signal was getting more and more intense, meaning that they were bringing the trouble back with them! What followed was screaming after the footsteps! “Help, help!! Ghost- there’s a ghost in this tomb… It’s going to eat us.

.

!” It was Old Hei’s voice, and his voice was clearly completely rattled, a piercing shriek! But even so, he kept calling out.

“Elder Yu, wait for me, don’t leave me behind!!”
