Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

“Covering it up is simply to avoid being reminded of the past and falling into inner demons.”

"I've been feeling quite confused lately, and I often have nightmares. I'd like to ask the Dragon Maiden for advice on how to calm my mind."

After she finished explaining her symptoms, Bai Lu was somewhat bewildered.

"These symptoms of yours don't sound like they're under my jurisdiction..."

"Bah bah bah!"

Bai Lu looked up at Jing Liu, her little face extremely serious: "I was just being nosy. The physicians of the Dan Ding Division don't discriminate."

"Big sister, please extend your hand. Let's start by taking your pulse. After you take some Shadow-Penetrating Worms, I'll examine you more closely."

Jingliu nodded slightly, sat down in the chair next to Bailu, rolled up his sleeves, and put his hand on the table.

Bai Lu also stretched out her small hand, preparing to take Jing Liu's pulse, but the moment she touched his hand, the former trembled violently.

"Ah...my hands are so cold!"

"I'm sorry... Your Highness, my constitution is somewhat special. If you mind..."

"No problem, no problem!" Bai Lu quickly waved her hand, "Cough cough... I wasn't prepared just now. It's just a little cold, it's fine!"

"Let's continue, let's continue..."

Bai Lu forced herself to remain calm, and after taking Jing Liu's pulse for a while, she suddenly frowned.

"Your pulse..."

("We're pregnant!")

("roll……!)

"..."

Bai Lu silently withdrew her hand, her gaze solemn.

"You wait first."

Bai Lu looked at Dan Heng:

"Mr. Danheng, this way, let's talk."

"Ah."

Dan Heng responded and followed Bai Lu to a corner.

This is a corner.

Bai Lu stood by the wall and said earnestly:

"The friend you brought is really sick in a strange way."

"Her pulse was almost... almost nonexistent!"

"What?!" Dan Heng raised an eyebrow slightly.

Bai Lu continued:

"Logically speaking, this means she..."

The cloud cavalryman standing next to the two pointed a finger and interjected:

"That means she doesn't have long to live...!"

"Pah, pah, pah!" Bai Lu looked speechlessly at the two cloud riders beside her and complained:

Please do not make professional judgments on behalf of medical professionals!

"Also... this is a private conversation between Mr. Danheng and me, and you two are not allowed to eavesdrop."

"..."

One of the Cloud Riders was holding a milk tea, and the other was carrying a bucket of barbecue skewers.

They look extremely relaxed.

The cloud rider who spoke in a male voice lazily said:

"We're just buying a snack and passing by, you guys continue, you guys continue..."

Bai Lu watched helplessly as the two Cloud Riders rode away, and couldn't help but complain.

"My goodness, I never expected there to be two such lazy people in the Cloud Cavalry..."

Immediately, she looked at Danheng again.

“Mr. Danheng, your friend’s situation is very special. Her physical signs are very lifelike, but when you hold her hand to take her pulse, it’s like holding a block of ice!”

"The flow between the internal organs and the meridians is like an underground river, pulsating incessantly."

"I've never encountered such a symptom before; it's worthy of being recorded in medical texts... So, could you bring your friend to see me often? If I figure it out thoroughly... maybe I can even make a name for myself or something."

"……Well."

Danheng was quite embarrassed by Bailu's request.

Today is Jingliu's last day in Luofu. Tomorrow she will be sent to another immortal ship to be judged.

How did you bring it here...?

"Miss Bailu will be leaving Luofu after today," Dan Heng said regretfully.

"I see." Bai Lu also felt a little regretful.

"If she had stayed a few more days, maybe I could have found a way to cure her, and then my name could be..."

"Ahem, that's not the point." Bai Lu said seriously:

"I'll do my best now. No matter what medicine I prescribe, she needs to drink more hot water."

“Mr. Danheng, please come with me.” Bai Lu led Danheng to another place, a corner piled with medicine boxes.

"I'll prescribe a 'Rejuvenating Qi Powder' for her. While these herbs won't completely eliminate the chaos, they will..."

"Wait, where's my first-aid kit?!"

"???"

Danheng looked down and saw many boxes in front of Bailu, but the one that belonged to her was nowhere to be seen.

“Miss Bailu, how about... you try using another doctor’s box?”

"No, they don't have the medicine I mentioned..." Bai Lu searched everywhere, but still couldn't find her box.

"Oh no, did that dog snatch it again?!"

"dog……?"

"Is anyone in the Dan Ding Si still keeping large dogs that can carry away medicine chests?"

"It's just a bountiful crop of evil!" Bai Lu stared at the vanished medicine chest, looking somewhat frantic.

"Ever since the secret teachings of the Medicine King were eradicated, everything in the department has been in chaos!"

Just as Bai Lu was about to ask Dan Heng to go find the medicine box, a Yunqi rider suddenly came over carrying the medicine box.

He passed Danheng, bypassed Bailu, and silently placed the medicine box on the ground.

"Whoo~"

The cloud rider wiped imaginary sweat from his helmet and said lazily:

"These days, even the dogs in the Alchemy Bureau don't eat bones anymore, they're eating boxes instead."

"Huh? You...you actually found the first-aid kit?!"

Bai Lu was quite surprised to hear that familiar voice.

Isn't this one of those two lazy Cloud Riders from earlier?

They're actually doing something important!

"Oh ho, it's your first-aid kit?"

The cloud rider smiled slightly:

"That makes things easier. Could you make me some plum juice?"

"Oh? You're not feeling well either?! Who prescribed this medicine for you? If you need to get the medicine, let me examine you again..."

"No, I just want to drink plum juice without any additives."

"..."

Just as Yan was chatting with Bai Lu, a tall and powerful ape-like creature, carrying the corpse of a wolf-like creature, walked angrily toward the medical market.

"..." The ape-like creature stood in the center of the market, its gaze sweeping over the passing crowd.

The people around were immediately terrified.

"Ah—!! What a huge, bountiful monster! Run!!"

"Ape, ape god——!!"

"You son of a bitch! Still watching?!"

Patients and doctors alike scattered in all directions upon seeing such a large and bountiful creature enter the market.

The giant ape's gaze was fixed on Yan, who was dressed in Cloud Rider attire, not far away.

"Roar--!!"

Upon spotting its target, it dropped the wolf-like creature's corpse, pounded its chest with its giant fist, and pounced swiftly towards Yan's back!

"Um?!"

Hearing the noise, Bailu turned around abruptly.

"Oh my god!!"

She quickly tugged at Dan Heng's sleeve and said in a trembling voice:

"Mr. Danheng, think of something quickly!!"

"..."

Danheng didn't speak, but silently pulled Bailu behind him.
