Starry Sky Railway: The Slacking Sword Saint is Keeped by Fu Xuan

"what happened to you?"

Fu Xuan supported him and slowly knelt down on the ground, letting him lean against her chest, her heart pounding with panic.

"It's nothing, I'm just exhausted and a little sleepy..."

Yu Chen forced a smile at her while keeping his eyelids open. Fu Xuan felt the body that had almost completely collapsed on him and became increasingly panicked.

"Yu Chen...you're still alive?"

A cool, indifferent voice suddenly came from beside him. Fu Xuan turned around and glared at it. A girl with delicate and lovely features was standing there.

"What do you mean!"

Fu Xuan asked through gritted teeth, his voice filled with boundless rage.

He was already in a bad state, yet he still made such sarcastic remarks.

The girl had short, neat hair, and her dark red cheeks shone with a captivating radiance. Her expression was indifferent and aloof, even more so than Fu Xuan's own. That detached emotion seemed to belong to a different person...

However, she is not human, but a judge of the Ten Kings' Court, and also a mechanical doll girl.

"literal meaning."

Xueyi responded to her indifferently, her dark red eyes sweeping over her again.

"Why is the Grand Diviner here as well? I should have told the civil officials to retreat."

"What does it have to do with you!"

Fu Xuan's tone was unusually sharp, his voice cold and full of anger.

"Fu Xuan, it's alright, don't be angry..."

Yu Chen raised his weak arm and gently grasped Fu Xuan's small hand, shaking his head at her in a tender tone.

Xueyi always speaks like that; he's already used to it.

Xueyi, however, didn't care at all and simply shook her head, saying, "Never mind, the trouble has been averted anyway."

Fu Xuan's small chest was still heaving; she was still bothered by what Xueyi had just said.

Xueyi ignored the angry glare and turned her gaze to Yuchen.

Looking at the sword saint's weak and exhausted appearance, her brows furrowed slightly on her usually aloof and arrogant face: "Judging from your condition, you haven't taken the [Longevity and Ruthlessness Pill] yet?"

"Heh... I originally planned to eat after leaving the pass, but now..."

Yu Chen's gaze fell on Fu Xuan, who was holding him, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

"Never mind... haha..."

Xueyi still frowned, but she only silently glanced at Yuchen before leaving after saying a few words.

"I give you one last piece of advice: those who fall into demonic possession are confused by the six senses and lose all humanity..."

Everything that is alive will vanish in that time. No matter who you love, what you think about, or how deep your feelings are now, they will all disappear.

And you will fall into wickedness, and the people you love and the things you cherish will be nothing more than things that you can destroy at will...

As a sword saint, having consumed the Longevity-Breaking Pill, he can protect the immortal ship for several more centuries.

Of course, I have no right to force anyone to eat that stuff.

However, if you ever truly succumb to demonic possession, my sword will not hesitate to strike!

Chapter 42 Haze

Xueyi didn't say thank you until she left, not because she was unwilling, but because as a judge's puppet, she had no emotions whatsoever.

For her, posting support information and receiving help is normal work and something she should do. As for the so-called 'thank you,' what is that?

Fu Xuan gritted her teeth and glared at her as she left, her heart burning with anger, her delicate face trembling with rage.

What did she mean by her last words? Was she trying to morally blackmail Yu Chen into taking that damned pill that would make him heartless and cruel?

Otherwise you'll die, right?

"It's okay, it's okay, don't be angry... She just doesn't have normal human emotions..."

Looking at her angry face, Yu Chen tried to comfort her with a helpless voice, but when he spoke, he realized that his voice was so weak. He reached out to rub her head, but his arm was completely powerless, and his eyelids grew heavier and heavier, as if they were about to close completely at any moment.

"But she..."

Fu Xuan spoke angrily, and when he looked down for a moment, his heart clenched.

"Yu Chen...?"

Yu Chen! Don't scare me, what's wrong? Don't sleep! Look at me, please don't close your eyes, please…”

Her eyes instantly reddened, and glistening tears fell like pearls from a broken string, falling uncontrollably.

Yu Chen's consciousness grew increasingly hazy, his vision gradually blurred, and his senses faded. He could no longer hear Fu Xuan's voice clearly; his ears could only barely make out that she seemed to be calling his name, and that she seemed to be crying…

He moved his lips and, with the last of his strength, whispered, "Don't cry... it won't look good if you cry... and you are the Grand Diviner, you can't be laughed at..."

And...please hold me tight...

Like the last wisp of mist dissipating in the morning sunlight, his voice drifted into the light, and his heavy body collapsed completely onto her.

"Yu Chen... Yu Chen?"

Can you look at me?

Please, talk to me, okay... You promised me everything would be alright...

Fu Xuan's voice trembled as she held him tightly in her arms. She tried her best to hold back her sobs, but the suppressed cries still rang out.

"Don't do this... I'm scared..."

The belatedly arriving troop of Yun cavalry looked at the Taibu kneeling on the ground, embracing someone and weeping, and then saw the corpses and bloodstains in front of her. They assumed she had been attacked.

The captain immediately ordered his men to surround and protect them, then nervously bowed to Fu Xuan, "Lord Taibu, I'm so sorry we're late... Um, what's the situation now...?"

Fu Xuan held Yu Chen, tears streaming down his face, and said in a trembling voice to the leader, "Quickly find a doctor to save him... hurry!"

The leader swallowed hard, then half-squatted down and reached for Yu Chen's throat, who appeared to be lifeless.

I sensed it briefly, and there was still a pulse…

He breathed a sigh of relief; as long as there was still breath, he wasn't afraid that the guys from the Pill Refining Division wouldn't be able to save him.

"Someone come quick! Get this gentleman to the Pill Refining Department!"

A strong young man immediately rushed out, reported to the leader, and took Yu Chen from Fu Xuan and carried him on his back.

"Take it easy!"

Fu Xuan wiped away his tears, barely managing to control his emotions. Ignoring the leader's obstruction, he followed the Cloud Riders carrying Yu Chen towards the Pill Cauldron Division.

Watching the pink figure quickly disappear into the distance, the leader of the Cloud Cavalry scratched his head, looking completely bewildered.

The person is gone, leaving behind a mess of corpses, so is he supposed to clean it up?

Just then, a Yunqi soldier suddenly stood up from among the corpses, startling him so much that he quickly ordered his men to surround him.

As a result, several screams rang out from the corpse.

"Hey, who's the bastard? I've worked myself to the bone and I'm exhausted, can't I even take a break?"

"Ouch! Who the hell stepped on my thigh?!"

...

Thus, he obtained the information from the Cloud Cavalry lying among the corpses…

Danding Division.

The strange light dissipated in Bailu's hands.

She looked at Yu Chen lying on the bed and sighed solemnly.

She glanced at Fu Xuan, who looked haggard from crying and had red eyes, shook her head, and sighed.

"Diviner...please come out with me for a moment..."

Her childish voice was filled with sorrow and regret. Fu Xuan stared at her expression, his face froze, and tears fell silently.

She looked at Yu Chen, her breathing gradually becoming rapid... Trembling, she released Yu Chen's hand and stood up. A strong sense of dizziness surged up, and she swayed and was about to fall backward. Fortunately, Xing Xuan caught her, otherwise she would definitely have fallen.

"Lord Diviner, are you alright?"

Fu Xuan gently shook his head, leaned against her to steady himself, and followed Bai Lu out with a blank look in his eyes.

She was just a newly hired secretary, they hadn't known each other for very long, and not long ago he was showing her around everywhere... He was about to say it...

Like a flower with its roots broken, its fiery red petals quickly turned brown, withered rapidly, and finally died, leaving only an empty flower stalk standing there listlessly and lonely...

Her heart felt as if it were enveloped by something, oppressive and gloomy, squeezed and withering away in the darkness...

An indescribable emotion filled his chest, and a sharp pain shot through his brow, as if a sharp knife had pierced it, causing an unusual turmoil to rise within him…

But she seemed completely oblivious, as if sadness or some other emotion filled her heart, and she could not perceive anything else.

Jing Yuan was standing at the door at some point. He glanced at Tai Bu, who was so distraught that he didn't even bother to wipe away his tears, and then looked at Yu Chen lying inside the room. He sighed helplessly.

Bai Lu stood in the corridor, frowning as she looked at the two people in front of her. "I've never seen anyone like him before. How...how has he survived until now? He hasn't even taken the Longevity Pill..."
