Chapter 294

Luo Qi lay on the ground, feeling the prickling and stabbing of Majiang's Medical Magic on his body. Majiang first stanched his bleeding, and he felt a bit better, mostly because having a Doctor here made him feel at ease. Being connected to thousands of Ghosts gave him an unprecedentedly clear understanding of this world, but this ability was of little help when it came to understanding his own body.

He let out a sigh of relief and lay relaxed on the ground; Du Zhengyi had placed a folded coat under his head, and he knew this angle might be good for stopping the bleeding. In any case, he was lying comfortably on the ground now, the enemies had all fallen, and Fan Shi might still be lingering unwillingly, but he definitely would not dare to step into this town where Mind Magic was boiling. He lay there looking at the clear night sky above; over the square courtyard was the vast, boundless starry sky.

The thick fog seemed as if it had never permeated the night at all, and the starry sky overhead was as clear as if it had been wiped clean by snow. Luo Qi remembered the days he went skiing with his family, when they stayed in a wooden cabin in the forest, and the night sky after the snow stopped was just like today. A pleasant silence, like a divine blessing, shrouded the mountains and forests. The air was so fresh it seemed to make one's mind sharper, unlike the man-made fog here today, which carried the damp stench of a sewer and was nauseating.

Mist-Lost Pavilion was supposed to be the Jiangnan Bible, yet it turned out to be that kind of smell. Distorting beautiful things, that feeling was like—

"Like a sewer mermaid, ptooey!" Luo Qi muttered to himself, and spat.

"What?" Majiang, who was busy working, paused. He scrutinized Luo Qi carefully; Luo Qi looked a bit groggy. He turned his head to look at Du Zhengyi, who was sitting to one side, "What did he say? Does he still have an injury in his brain?"

Du Zhengyi raised an eyebrow and observed Luo Qi symbolically for a second, "He's fine."

Majiang was a bit skeptical, but he also knew that Du Zhengyi had always understood Luo Qi, and the work in his hands did not delay for a moment. "Fine. After all, you are the First Fosterer; I respect your professional opinion. Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," Du Zhengyi said easily. Majiang glanced at him again, having much less trust in this statement of his.

"Sit still and don't move; it will be your turn after I finish his preliminary first aid."

Guan Xinyue had long since forgotten the grudges and grievances between her and the Mages before returning to the town. She watched Majiang's movements carefully; she had seen Medical Magic before, but never anything so complex. After all, she had never seen anyone in her family suffer such severe injuries. She was now extremely grateful that they were Mages, whose bodies were stronger than humans, and whose Medical Magic was more effective than human medical means.

"Luo Qi will pull through, right?" she asked nervously, staring intently at Luo Qi's face, not daring to look at the wound on his stomach, even more worried that Luo Qi wouldn't make it.

"Pull through?" Majiang blew a breath, "You really underestimate my craft. This little injury of his, it looks like he lost some blood, but it isn't actually that serious. Based on my intuition, Du Zhengyi is the one who will be a bother in a moment."

Guan Xinyue looked at the leisurely Du Zhengyi with awe, then carefully moved a few steps away, keeping her distance from those strange things lying on the ground, trying her best to find a clean spot.

Luo Qi suddenly said, "I really like this feeling."

"What?" Guan Xinyue asked in surprise. Majiang was focused on the wound's growth and couldn't spare the energy to care about what he said, while Du Zhengyi looked up at him in confusion.
