Chapter 1206 — Utterly Bizarre

In that moment Feng Tianlong's heart swelled with gratitude and respect. This girl was truly magnanimous and kind-hearted - for Wei Zhao to have such a girlfriend was his blessing. Compared with his own daughter, Feng Tianlong thought, Tang Zhi was very much the more generous; his own girl, he had to admit, could be rather petty and willful.
"Isn't she my girlfriend too? I'll certainly do everything I can..." At the sight of Tang Zhi, Wei Zhao did not quite know whether to laugh or cry, but he answered her in earnest, solemn tones.
"Mm..." Tang Zhi nodded.
Wei Zhao took Feng Xiaoxiao's hand, then said to Feng Tianlong, "Don't let anyone disturb me."
"Understood." Feng Tianlong nodded, then turned to Li Yifeng behind him. "Xiao Li, stand guard at the door. Let no one in to disturb us!"
"Yes!" Li Yifeng touched the pistol at his hip, nodded gravely, and took up his post at the door with quick strides.
Wei Zhao circulated the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art. He had already tasted the ferocity of Feng Xiaoxiao's draw the last time, so this time, to keep Feng Xiaoxiao from draining his strength dry in a single stroke, he slipped directly into a sleeping state and entered the jade pendant space, drawing on the energy within it to feed her bottomless appetite!
Wei Zhao's expectation was not mistaken. This time, just as before, the moment he set the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art in motion, the vast energy of the jade pendant space came flooding like the tide through his hand and into Feng Xiaoxiao's body!
Still, this time it was somewhat easier on him - the energy in the jade pendant space was, after all, endless and inexhaustible. But the next instant Wei Zhao was alarmed: he found that the energy of the jade pendant space seemed nowhere near enough to satisfy Feng Xiaoxiao, while the energy in his own body was seeping away, little by little, into hers!
It was the first time Wei Zhao had ever met with such a thing. Whether he was treating the wounds of General Weiwu or powering up Uncle Qing and Qiu Lingshan, the energy he sent into them had always flowed straight through from the jade pendant space, and never once had demand outstripped supply like this.
He had long sensed that Feng Xiaoxiao's body was strange, but he had never imagined it could be this strange! Wei Zhao's expression changed. "Elder Jiao," he asked, "what is going on?"
"Strange... extraordinarily strange!" Even Jiao Yazi had fallen into a reverie. "Her body is so strange. And this energy you are pouring into her seems to do no real good at all. Her life is nearly spent - no amount of energy will alter that; at best it can barely keep the spark alive. For her to wake, I am afraid, is impossible..."
"What do you mean?" Wei Zhao froze at Jiao Yazi's words. "No good? How can it be no good? Elder Jiao - are you saying she has reached the end of her life, and that this time nothing will help, no matter what?"
"Not necessarily. The last time she collapsed I felt the very same, and yet she lived - and lived a long while besides. There is something strange in it, but I cannot say what... Ah, if only my true body were here; then I could go out and look for myself. Through you, I can never be certain of anything..." Jiao Yazi sighed.
