Chapter 835

San Yue Qi worriedly looked at Yun Li: 'Yun Li master, you also fought a big battle, didn't you?'

Hearing that, Yun Li also proudly lifted her chin: 'Hehe~ Luofu's little doll, our Zhu Ming's kids have a much better physique!'

"By the way, Mo Ze said their troop was besieged by the wolf clan and fought a bitter battle. Xing, you fought side by side with Mo Ze—did you get injured?"

Xing scratched their head: 'Upon careful thought, it seems there was no chance to get injured.'

"The reason can probably be guessed—it must be that General Feixiao is too strong."

Ling Sha earnestly looked at Yun Li: 'Yun Li, you lie down properly!'

Yun Li instantly wilted, stuck out her tongue: 'I got it, Ling Sha sister, hehehe~'

"By the way, that squinty-eyed fox medic, and that guy wearing a hood..." San Yue Qi suddenly remembered.

"Fortunately they found the severely injured Jiao Qiu; he lost too much blood and needs proper rest. He and Mo Ze are both seriously injured, and I have harshly confined them—none can leave the Dan Ding Si. These three's injuries are life‑threatening; it's a great relief that we Luofu still have a miraculous Xian Yao Long Nu."

"Ah, it seems the entire envoy of the Radiant Azure Immortal Vessel has gathered in the Dan Ding Si. Why don't we buy some fruit and go visit General Feixiao?"

Ling Sha said Feixiao had sneaked out of the ward; if they wanted to visit, they could go to the seaside—they might run into her.

……

At the ancient seaside, Jiao Qiu stood alone by the railing, gazing at the boundless sea, wondering what he was thinking. When familiar footsteps sounded behind him, he finally spoke: 'Ha, hearing those footsteps… isn't that General Feixiao? Why aren't you following doctor's orders to rest properly, running out again alone?'

"What a coincidence—there's another person here who doesn't listen to doctor's orders."

In the shade behind the trees, Mo Ze leaned against the wall, head lowered, seeming to doze.

"After all, I'm a doctor myself; my understanding of my condition might not be inferior to that of the Dragon Lady."

"Doctors shouldn't treat themselves; in front of me, don't try to be tough." Feixiao let out a deep sigh: '…Sorry, Jiao Qiu. I never thought you'd use the "fight poison with poison" method—what a mistake. If I had found you sooner… if I hadn't sent you to the Hidden Prison…'

Jiao Qiu gave a faint smile: 'Is that really what you say? Could it be an assassin from the Bu Li people, disguising as your voice to take my life?'

"…" Feixiao lowered his gaze: 'Jiao Qiu, your eyes… can't you see them?'

Jiao Qiu lifted his head, feeling the sea breeze: 'Now I can still hear the waves—they're clear… that's enough.'

——

Miss Huiye wants me to confess my feelings.

"Eh? Why?! No way——!!"

"Doctor Jiao Qiu, does he have to become disabled from now on? Obviously Hu Lei is already dead—he doesn't need to risk his life anymore! Wah——!!"

Just moments ago she had been sharing the cream puff she just bought with Sigong Huiye, but the instant Feixiao revealed the truth about Doctor Jiao Qiu's blindness, the student council room was left with only Tengyuan Xwei's choked sob. She had completely forgotten she was still holding half a cream puff in her hand, the cream smeared on her cheek unnoticed.

"Indeed…… taking that poison that could even kill an immortal sprout, surviving is no small feat." Bai Yin lightly sighed: 'As an outsider who knows the whole ordeal, just the fact that Doctor Jiao Qiu is still alive in this situation is already a blessing—losing an eye pair as the price is actually quite fortunate.'

"President, your way of comforting people is terrible……" Tengyuan Xwei muttered softly from where he was slumped over the table.

"However, since Bai Lu could pull him back from the brink of death, why can't she heal Doctor Jiao Qiu's eyes? The Immortal Vessel's medicine is clearly this miraculous—curing a pair of eyes shouldn't be that hard, right?" Shishang said from the side.

Sigong Huiye shook her head: 'Not necessarily—if it's a Rakshasa, he should be able to heal Doctor Jiao Qiu. Miss Bai Lu, though her medical skill is superb, probably hasn't yet tapped into the power of the Abundance path; only a Rakshasa's ability to even "heal" "machinery" could possibly cure him completely.'

"There's no need to insist on using the Abundance power, right? Senior Tengyuan Xwei doesn't have to cry so bitterly either." Shishang tried to recall: 'Do you still remember Dan Zhu? Dan Zhu was born blind, after receiving an ocular implant he temporarily regained sight, but unfortunately the Immortal Vessel people's special physiology causes rejection of internal machinery. However, the fox people are different—they don't have the Immortal Vessel's exaggerated regenerative ability; if they received an ocular implant…… perhaps it could truly help Doctor Jiao Qiu regain sight.'

——

"No need to blame yourself—you know what I care more about: after swallowing the Crimson Moon, what changes have occurred in your body?" Instead, Jiao Qiu actively began to care for Feixiao.

Feixiao shook his head: 'I don't know; it seems nothing has changed… but many of the doubts that used to trouble me have vanished…'

"I once thought I would never again be alive to hear you talk about your own body… but, thanks to Mo Ze and that child. Compared to the present outcome, the price I paid is truly insignificant……"

Although Jiao Qiu kept his eyes closed, Feixiao still seemed to sense that he was earnestly "gazing" at himself.

"I have no complaints, Feixiao; I am content."

Feixiao's gaze wavered, as if thinking about what to say next, but after a moment he gave up: '…I don't know how to utter comforting words, nor do I have any clue how to heal others' illnesses. I am merely a warrior, so I can only offer you a promise……'

"…'An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.'" Mo Ze walked over and took up the conversation.

"Oh, you're here too." Jiao Qiu smiled.

"The universe is vast; surely someone can heal your eyes—I will find him. And until then……"

Jiao Qiu: "The threats behind this turmoil also need someone to deal with them. I'm sure you already have an idea in mind—speak up."

"The rise of the Medicine King's remnants, the gathering of the Bu Li people… that hidden hand behind the scenes stirring up storms seeks to leave the alliance in disarray, ultimately like a lost arrow, missing its mark." Feixiao slowly walked to the railing, gazing at the calm, waveless ancient sea: 'It's a shame they've picked the wrong opponent this time. Upon returning to the Radiant Azure Immortal Vessel, I will personally lead the Qingqiu army into battle……'

"…I swear to strike down an Extinction Sovereign, so that the Oblivion Legion will understand the meaning of the Hunt."
