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

"Bai Lu, just tell me the situation."

Jing Yuan interrupted her. Compared to the guy lying on the bed, he was more worried about whether the divination master next to him, who wasn't even up to his shoulder, would go berserk on the spot.

"Hmm...it's incredible, but he's probably not dead yet?"

Bai Lu looked at the two of them with doubt in her eyes and said in a somewhat uncertain tone.

"Aren't you a doctor? What do you mean by that?!"

Fu Xuan's gloomy expression instantly turned angry as she glared at the dragon girl in front of her.

Jing Yuan quickly reassured her, "Fu Qing, don't worry, let her continue. The Medicine-Bearing Dragon Girl of the Chiming Clan will definitely be able to keep him safe."

"No, no, General, please don't talk nonsense. His condition is beyond my ability to cure!"

Bai Lu quickly waved her hand, saying that if she didn't cure the illness, it would ruin her reputation.

"Then...then him..."

Fu Xuan's eyes trembled, and tears instantly burst forth like a dam breaking.

Crystalline tears slid down her somewhat pale face, gathered on her fair chin, and dripped down.

The sound of water droplets hitting the floor made it sound like a light rain was falling inside the room.

Suppressed, heart-wrenching sobs echoed in the empty corridor. Dark clouds gathered outside, threatening an impending downpour, making the vast sky appear utterly desolate. A lonely bird's cry swept across the sky, but no bird could be seen. A cold wind swept through the bare branches, producing a dry, unpleasant crackling sound. Gloom enveloped everything, turning the colors of heaven and earth gray, as if foreshadowing something...

Chapter 43 Please, wake up!

"No, I didn't say he was about to die!"

Bai Lu, somewhat speechless, held her horn and watched the divination master, who was heartbroken and preoccupied with his own grief.

Although she was about the same height and petite as her, she was still a shaman, so why was she so fragile?

She's been crying for a while now.

Fu Xuan's sobs stopped abruptly, and he looked at Bai Lu with teary eyes.

"ah…?"

"Didn't we say before that he didn't die? That's the same as him coming back to life..."

Bai Lu sighed, her two delicate white hands resting on her hips as she looked at Fu Xuan and continued, "As for physical injuries, apart from some incurable hidden injuries, he's basically fine..."

The reason for his current coma and weakness is entirely due to the disorder of Qi in his body, and…”

Her brows furrowed, as if she were pondering how to describe Yu Chen's condition, "I can't quite put my finger on the decay... He clearly has vitality, much more so than a newly born Celestial Being... but there's a strange decay spreading through his body..."

That situation was practically... like he was giving up his own life...

"What…?"

Fu Xuan stared intently at her, his face filled with confusion and unease. What did she mean by giving up...?

"I can't quite put my finger on it, it's just really weird... but someone like him, if he really wanted to end it all, he would have died long ago, and no one could have stopped him..."

Bai Lu's face scrunched up. She had never seen such a strange illness before, and she had absolutely no clue how to treat it.

"And... if I'm not mistaken, he probably has a serious mental illness, right?"

She looked up at Jing Yuan.

The general's expression darkened, and he nodded silently.

Most of the Cloud Cavalry who fought year-round suffered from similar ailments; those with mild cases were fine, but those with severe cases were basically transformed into demonic spirits.

Especially for the expeditionary force, the battles they experienced were already unimaginably brutal. In addition, being long-lived beings, it was impossible for anyone to maintain a normal mindset throughout such prolonged killing.

In particular, besides facing enemies, they also have to constantly keep an eye on their comrades...

If he falls into the demonic possession, even the closest comrades-in-arms cannot be spared the slightest mercy…

Therefore, the expeditionary force is usually rotated every now and then; otherwise, in that situation, they would all fall into demonic possession without the enemy even having to lift a finger.

The price of immortality is indeed so heavy.

As for Yu Chen…

The battles he had experienced were so numerous as to be terrifying, and the longsword in his hand was stained with blood...

This shouldn't be happening; he should have retired and rested long ago, but he seems to be possessed...

Each time, he would just smile at him and go on, saying that he was perfectly fine and didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He wanted to keep killing so that he could face the countless brothers he had personally killed when he went down to the underworld.

But... do you look like you're perfectly fine right now?

And yet, I've arranged such a wonderful marriage for you, and you can't even hold on at the very beginning?

"General, you surely understand that a mental illness requires a mental cure; I, as the doctor, am helpless..."

Bai Lu shrugged, sighed, and continued, "Moreover, his current weakness and the inexplicable decline in his body are probably related to his mental illness."

I can prescribe some medicine to help him recover, but given his condition... if it doesn't improve, I'm afraid his time is running out.

Her gaze then fell on Fu Xuan. "You all need to think of something, whether it's finding him some new support or some other method, at least you need to make him genuinely want to continue living..."

Some things are hard to erase and are destined to leave scars, but they are not truly 'incurable'.

You all know this better than I do, don't you?

"Well, that's natural."

Jing Yuan nodded, his gaze falling on Fu Xuan.

Of course he knew, otherwise he wouldn't have schemed so much and pulled off such a stunt.

I just hope that some new people can slowly heal him in these ordinary days.

Fu Xuan silently reached out and covered her chest, then turned to look at the person lying on the bed…

Having experienced that suffocating grief, I made a decision in my heart and no longer had any doubts about certain things.

If there is truly no cure, then I will become his medicine, just so that... he can continue to live and see the true human world with me.

"Is his condition stable now?"

Bai Lu paused for a moment, then shook her head helplessly.

"We can only wait for him to wake up. With that level of energy, any intervention from others will only make his condition worse... General, you should understand, right?"

Jing Yuan's expression stiffened for a moment, then he nodded silently.

This isn't like the stories where you can find someone to heal you with their internal energy; the reality is nowhere near that simple or easy...

"You're completely useless!"

Fu Xuan couldn't help but glare at him and shouted.

"I…"

Jing Yuan glared at him, and after holding back for a long time, he could only sigh helplessly.

Even the doctors couldn't help, so what could a general like him possibly do? Otherwise, he would have already taken action against his own brothers. He wouldn't be sitting here sighing helplessly!

"Hey, what's all the noise about? Let's try to wake him up first!"

Bai Lu frowned as she looked at them. "Is there anyone you're very close to? I just managed to calm him down a bit. Maybe if I call out to him now, I can wake him up."

Jing Yuan silently looked at the Grand Diviner again, while Xiao Fu Xuan looked at him.

Their eyes met briefly in mid-air before quickly looking away.

After a moment of silence, they all went inside.

Walking to the bedside, looking at that somewhat pale face, Fu Xuan couldn't help but feel sad again. After only a few glances, tears welled up in his eyes again.

She crouched down, took Yu Chen's hand, and whispered, "Yu Chen, wake up, okay? I still want you to take me out to play. I still want you to buy me ice cream and grilled fish. I still want you to carry me and run faster than the Star Chariot... I don't think the tea you brew is bad anymore. I'll have them cook for you every day since you love the food at Liuyun Pavilion. You haven't finished what you wanted to say to me today. I want to know what you really wanted to say..."

Her voice began to tremble, and tears quietly streamed down her face, but the person lying on the bed remained quietly with her eyes closed, showing no reaction whatsoever.

"Yu Chen... wake up! I need you to wake up! You are my person, you must listen to me!"

Fu Xuan's voice gradually grew louder. She gripped his hand tightly, gritting her teeth as she shouted, large tears streaming down her face.

"Yu Chen, I feel so bad..."

Suddenly, his hand seemed to tremble slightly, and Fu Xuan's heart skipped a beat. Her eyes trembled, and intense emotions surged up instantly. Fu Xuan turned around sharply and vaguely found Bai Lu's figure.

"Bai Lu, he seems to have moved!"

Chapter 44 It's just a kiss, it's normal between superiors and subordinates!

"If it moves, then keep shouting! Or give it some more stimulation or something. Why are you looking at me? It's not like I shouted it to move!"

Bai Lu said speechlessly, but her expression quickly turned strange. She muttered to herself, "It actually woke me up... I was just offering some comfort. Could it be that the divination master's voice has some strange magic?"

Xingxuan, who was secretly shedding tears alongside Fu Xuan, heard these whispered words and suddenly turned around to look at her.

"cough…"

Bai Lu coughed lightly, her dragon tail swaying behind her, and her fair face flushed slightly.

He was caught talking to himself...
