Chapter 1316 — It Still Ended in Failure! "Yes, But I Cannot Give You the Original." Qiu Lingshan Has Her Principles, and Close as She Is to Wei Zhao, She Will Not Yield on Principle
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"I don't need the original." All Wei Zhao wanted was a look at his medical notes; whether it was the original or a copy made no difference to him at all.
Having settled this matter in his mind, Wei Zhao said nothing of it to Feng Xiaoxiao and the others. After all, there was still no lead, and as the old man had said, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. It would be better to speak only when there was a result.
What Wei Zhao feared most now was that even if the Fire Spirit Sacred Fruit was recorded in those medical notes, it would still be hard to find.
So during these past days, Wei Zhao had begun to study the trap map Liu Bojia had given him. This tomb raid meant a great deal to him. There could not be the slightest negligence. It had to succeed!
Three nights later, Wei Zhao was in his room poring over the map when a scream suddenly came from outside the room, and then the door was pushed open. Shen Yushu rushed in in a frantic hurry: "Shield Brother, quick... Xiaoxiao has fainted again, hurry and save her!"
"What?" Wei Zhao started in alarm, hastily put down the map in his hands, and left the room with Shen Yushu, running toward the upper floor of the villa. As he ran he asked: "How did Xiaoxiao faint?"
"I don't know either. She said before that she felt cold all over and wanted to take a hot bath, and we didn't think anything of it. But Xiaoxiao had been in the bathroom for a whole hour with no sound at all, so we got a little worried and went in to look, and only then found her passed out in the tub..." Shen Yushu said all in one breath.
Wei Zhao nodded. He had long foreseen a scene like this. Xiaoxiao's attack was due within these few days. If not today, then tomorrow or the day after, sooner or later it would come. Yet his heart was still heavy.
"Oh, right, Xiaoxiao isn't wearing anything, Shield Brother, you get to ogle her!" Shen Yushu suddenly said.
"Heh..." Wei Zhao gave a bitter smile and said nothing. Xiao Shu might look silly and scatterbrained, but Wei Zhao understood that she had probably seen how grave his expression was and had made a joke on purpose.
Wei Zhao strode quickly into the bathroom and saw Feng Xiaoxiao lying fallen in the bathtub, while Tang Zhi and Gu Mengyao stood by with anxious faces, helpless and not daring to move Feng Xiaoxiao rashly.
Wei Zhao said no more. He lifted Feng Xiaoxiao straight out, carried her into the bedroom beside the bathroom, laid her on the bed, then bit open his own wrist and let his fresh blood flow over Feng Xiaoxiao's body...
"Xiao Yi, brace yourself. The situation this time looks bad!" Suddenly Jiao Yazi's voice sounded beside Wei Zhao's ear.
"What? Old Jiao, what happened?" Hearing Jiao Yazi's voice without warning, Wei Zhao felt his heart lurch and asked hastily.
"This time it is even worse than I expected. The yin-cold energy has completely invaded every corner of her body. The yin-cold energy inside her is so powerful that even I can feel it," Jiao Yazi said.
Wei Zhao's heart sank at once: "Then this time..."
"Give it a try, but do not force it. Do not fail to save her and then bleed to death yourself..." Jiao Yazi said with a sigh.
Wei Zhao nodded and let the blood from his body keep flowing over Feng Xiaoxiao...
Time passed minute by minute and second by second, yet Feng Xiaoxiao showed no improvement at all today. On the contrary, Wei Zhao's face grew paler and paler! The blood in a human body is limited. If an ordinary person loses more than fifteen percent of his blood at once, he may go into shock, and more than thirty percent can be life-threatening!
But Wei Zhao's constitution was far stronger than that of a normal man, and yet the blood he had now shed already exceeded fifty percent of his whole body. An ordinary man would have died long ago!
