A journey into an infinite dimension

Is your body already so weak? It seems you won’t live long.

She paused, and the pair of ears on her head, which had been erect since the beginning, quietly returned to their original state and relaxed again. The girl did not look back, but continued to walk away.

Perhaps it was just an illusion, but her hands, which were gripping the medicine basket's straps, seemed to have turned white from exerting so much force.

One step, two steps, three steps.

“Wow—wow—”

The act of "crying" seemed to have exhausted the last bit of strength supporting the baby. As time went by, its voice gradually became weaker and weaker.

When the girl's figure had passed the fourth green bamboo and was about to leave the area, her crying could no longer be heard at the distance she was at.

If this continues, the baby will die in just a few minutes.

It's just a human child anyway.

In this fantasy land, the death of humans is not something surprising.

Almost every day, humans die from disease or from being eaten by monsters, so a child like this wouldn't make a big difference.

She tried hard to convince herself in her heart, but she found that her legs could not take the next step.

“—Aaaaaah! Why are you still crying when you’re almost dead?! Why don’t you save your energy and just wait for someone to save you?!”

The figure that should have been several meters away suddenly appeared beside the baby and held it in her arms as before. While teaching the baby a lesson, the girl quickened her pace and rushed towards her home.

"Master will definitely be able to save you, but if she's unwilling to save you, or if you can't hold on until then, then that's your own business. I won't care anymore!!!"

As the girl spoke in a self-deprecating tone, the baby seemed to understand and stopped crying.

For a moment, the girl seemed to see it out of the corner of her eye.

In the baby's slowly opening eyes, there were gorgeous and dreamy colors that seemed to flicker like flames and light.

And the pupil pattern that looked like a butterfly dancing in the moonlight.

Chapter 352 Mystery

“Master!!!”

In a large Japanese-style house deep in the bamboo forest, Lingxian Udumbara Inaba pushed the door open without caring about usual etiquette and walked in. His purpose was very clear. As soon as he entered the door, he went straight to the pharmacy.

Her master usually stays in the pharmacy to study medicines, and at this time, he should still be in the pharmacy.

"Inaba, what's going on—"

As she walked along the corridor, a noble black-haired girl saw Lingxian in a hurry and curiously wanted to ask her what had happened.

However, Lingxian, who was usually very honest and obedient to her, actually passed her by and disappeared around the corner, leaving only a few words of apology that slowly floated in the air.

"I'm so sorry, Princess. My life is at stake now. I'll apologize to you later!"

There wasn't even time to add punctuation for pauses.

"Human lives are at stake?"

The girl tilted her head slightly and recalled Lingxian's appearance just now. She didn't see at all that there was anything life-threatening about her.

————Wait a moment, did Inaba seem to be holding something in his arms just now?

The girl's dynamic vision and memory were very good, so even though Lingxian's speed was so fast that it left an afterimage behind her, she still captured Lingxian's figure accurately.

Moreover, the palpitations in her heart that had been unable to calm down since the beginning, which made it impossible for her to concentrate on reading, and she had to prepare to go out for a walk, suddenly surged to the extreme when Lingxian passed by.

I always feel that I have to go and see it, otherwise I will regret it...

She raised her pair of clear deep brown eyes and looked in the direction where Lingxian disappeared. She probably guessed where she was going, and then the girl's figure also disappeared at the same time.

......

......

"Master, please take a look at this child!!"

Pushing the door of the pharmacy open with force, Lingxian, who was breathing slightly, saw the mature woman sitting there at a glance. Without caring about anything else, she immediately held the baby in her arms in front of her and said anxiously.

"Udumbara, your master probably never taught you to be so hasty and rude."

The woman frowned slightly and glared at Lingxian in displeasure, then turned her gaze to the baby in her arms.

"Can't see any symptoms?"

With a light exclamation, his gaze fixed on the baby whose symptoms had not been relieved at all and whose breathing had even become weaker than before. A hint of interest quietly lit up in Bayi Yonglin's gray eyes.

It's interesting that with her medical skills, there are diseases that cannot be seen at a glance.

"Udumbara, put him on the bed."

With this interest and the kindness of a doctor, Yagi Eirin stood up and walked to the cabinet nearby to take out the diagnostic instruments, and asked Lingxian to put the baby on the bed.

"Yes!"

Seeing that Bayi Yonglin was willing to take action, Lingxian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

With the master's medical skills, he will definitely be able to save this human child.

You have worked hard to persevere until now.

Looking at the baby who was placed on the soft bed, whose breath of life was gradually decreasing but never stopped, Lingxian thought softly.

To be honest, she originally thought that he wouldn't be able to hold on until she got back.

After all, although there is still a breath of life, the level is basically the same as a faint candlelight, and it would not be surprising if it goes out at any time.

"Inaba, what happened?"

Just as Yagi Eirin began to examine the baby's symptoms in detail and Lingxian waited anxiously there, the girl who had been ignored by her before also walked in from outside.

The first thing the girl saw when she entered the room was Yonglin who was concentrating on her work. However, due to the angle, she could not see the baby. She could only see that there seemed to be something on the bed in front of Yonglin.

"your Highness."

When he turned around and saw the girl, he suddenly recalled what had just happened. Thinking that she was here to accuse him, Lingxian immediately lowered himself to his knees in front of the girl.

"I was so anxious just now that I didn't have time to greet Her Royal Highness. Please forgive me, Her Royal Highness!"

"I didn't ask you that."

Reaching out and kneading the wrinkled rabbit ears on Lingxian's head, the girl called the princess scolded with some impatience and irritation.

"Don't let me ask the same question twice."

She didn't know why, but as soon as she entered Yonglin's pharmacy, she couldn't calm down.

The reason was definitely not because of the environment, because she had come here more than once in the past.

If there is anything different in the pharmacy this time, it must be the thing that Lingxian brought.

"Yes Yes!"

She could also hear that her princess was not in a good mood. Although she didn't know why, Lingxian immediately told her everything that had just happened without reservation.

"A baby abandoned in a bamboo forest?"

Who has the ability to bring a baby into the lost bamboo forest, abandon it and leave?

The Lost Bamboo Forest is different from ordinary bamboo forests. The bamboo grows very fast, and the scenery changes almost every day. In addition, the ground of the bamboo forest is a bit tilted, and the bamboo grows diagonally, which can easily make people lose their sense of balance, resulting in them returning to the original place without realizing it even if they keep walking.

These are just superficial. In fact, the Lost Bamboo Forest itself is cast with a spell of getting lost. Basically, except for its own people, no outsider can escape after entering.

Listening to Lingxian's story, not only the girl, but even Yonglin couldn't help but frown.

However, unlike the girl who reacted because of the discovery of an abandoned baby in the bamboo forest, Yonglin's reaction was because she had already made a preliminary diagnosis of the baby's symptoms.

"The excessive amount of energy has nowhere to be released, so it can only run around disorderly in the body, which is why the child has a high fever."

Taking off the stethoscope, Yonglin looked back at the girl and Lingxian with something in his hand, his eyes slightly solemn.

"The reason he's been able to hold on until now is because this pendant has been helping him suppress most of his energy."

"However, this method can only achieve a drop in the bucket. If the energy is not released, even if the pendant can keep him alive, he will still be tortured to death by this energy in the long run."

Hearing this, Lingxian and the girl's eyes both fell on Yonglin's hand.

"This is---"

Lingxian hadn't reacted yet, but the girl was suddenly startled.

Then she immediately lifted the sleeve of her robe and reached out to take something out.

It was a jade stone that was exactly the same as the pendant in Yonglin's hand, also swaying with a cool and restrained glow like moonlight.

However, the jade on the pendant in Yonglin's hand was obviously carefully polished and carved, while the jade in the girl's hand was more like its original appearance.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the relationship between the two jades is not as simple as being the same type of jade.

From texture to shine, as well as the look and feel it gives people.

This is exactly the same piece of jade!

"Eh? Ehhhhh??!"

Looking at the jade in the girl's hand and then at the pendant in Yonglin's hand, Lingxian was stunned.

"Is that really the case?"

However, Yonglin seemed to have anticipated this. His expression at the moment was as if he had confirmed his guess, and he did not feel overly surprised.

"Although the Dragon Neck Jade is not unique in this world, there is no such thing as a completely identical piece of jade."

Just as every snowflake is different, the gems possessed by each dragon are also completely different.

Even if the precious jade is cultivated again by the same divine dragon, there will be slight differences.

However, now, two exactly the same gems appeared.

Even the knowledgeable Yonglin had never experienced such a situation.

"Princess, do you have any ideas?"

The pendant was put back on the baby, but since its effect had not been removed, doing so would not provide any relief to his symptoms.

“…I don’t know.”

Finally seeing clearly what was on the bed, the girl didn't know why her originally irritable mood was inexplicably relieved at this moment.

It was as if this irritability was caused by not seeing the baby.

Why is this happening?

The girl herself doesn't know.

It was obvious that this was just the first time she met the baby.

Moreover, why did he have the Dragon Neck Jade that should only belong to her?

The more she thought about it, the more confused the girl felt.

But right now is obviously not the time to worry about these things.

She also heard what Yonglin said just now.

If nothing is done, the baby will die.

....die......

When she thought of this, an emotion different from irritability suddenly rose in the girl's heart.

"Eirin, save him."

By the time she came to her senses, she had already blurted out these words.

"It's really impossible to learn anything from a baby."

Nodding, Yonglin had no intention of not saving the baby from the very beginning.

Although there are indeed many mysteries surrounding him, the mystery lies not so much in the baby itself but in the baby's background.

If she determined that a baby who had just turned one month old was suspicious because of this, then her claim as the God of Wisdom would be a failure.

"Lingxian, go prepare the equipment."

"Yes!"
