Chapter 945

"On the contrary, you should get used to it as soon as possible."

Sister Dan Shu said with a solemn expression.

"Eh?"

Xiao Yu raised her head in confusion.

Stelle, Hu Tao, and the others also looked at Sister Dan Shu with doubt.

Although they didn't mind helping Xiao Yu, Sister Dan Shu's words made them feel a bit uncomfortable.

Sister Dan Shu took a deep breath and said:

"Because in the hundreds or thousands of years to come."

"Those of us who are 'Heaven-Deficient' will continue to drag down everyone we meet."

"If you feel sad just because of this tiny bit of guilt, it would be better if you didn't take a single step further on this long road."

Hearing this, Stelle couldn't hold back anymore.

"Sister Dan Shu, is this your way of comforting?"

Stelle asked.

"Yeah, isn't that a bit too harsh?"

Hu Tao said, hands on her hips.

Sister Dan Shu shook her head and looked toward Stelle and Hu Tao.

"There is no other way; after all, this is the curse that the Heaven-Deficient must bear."

Sister Dan Shu said.

"By the way, what exactly is the situation with the Heaven-Deficient?"

"Is it really impossible to treat those who are Heaven-Deficient?"

Hu Tao asked with a deep frown.

"Heaven-Deficiency cannot be cured." Sister Dan Shu shook her head and looked at Xiao Yu.

"Especially for Heaven-Deficient like Xiao Yu and me, who are blind, we can only walk alone in the darkness for a lifetime."

"We will always fear the obstacles that suddenly appear while walking on the road."

"When we cannot understand what others describe seeing or hearing, we will also feel fear."

"All people and all things will seem to be shrouded in pitch-black charcoal, invisible yet capable of burning her and me."

"For Xiao Yu, who is a long-lived species, such a life will last for nearly a thousand years."

"She must learn to endure it on her own, rather than delusionally hoping for anyone's help."

Hearing this, Qiqi, Hu Tao, and the others felt a sense of loss in their hearts.

Bai Zhu also sighed inwardly.

For Teyvat people who only have about a hundred years of life,

living a lifetime shrouded in darkness is already a suffocating thing.

If, like the long-lived species of the Luofu Xianzhou, one had to live in darkness for thousands of years,

enduring the pain that appears from time to time in the darkness, just thinking about it made Hu Tao and the others tremble.

"But aren't you helping her?"

"There will always be people willing to help her in the future, right?"

At this moment, Stelle's voice reached the ears of Hu Tao and the others, making them look at Sister Dan Shu.

A flash of realization crossed Sister Dan Shu's face, as if she had fallen into some memory.

A moment later, she sighed and said:

"I am indeed trying to find ways to change the plight of people like her."

"But this takes time, before I achieve sufficient results."

"She must first learn to endure the darkness, just like me."

As she spoke, Sister Dan Shu turned around and said to Bai Zhu, Hu Tao, and the others:

"It is too dangerous here, let's return to Exalting Sanctum first."

"After sending Xiao Yu home, I will answer everything you want to know."

"Whether it concerns the Heaven-Deficient or anything else."

Hearing this, Neuvillette, Hu Tao, and the others naturally did not object and returned along the way they came.

Halfway there, Sister Dan Shu left first to go to the clinic; she needed to prepare medicinal pills for Bai Zhu and the others.

Meanwhile, Neuvillette, Hu Tao, and the others sent Xiao Yu home.

By the time Neuvillette, Hu Tao, and the others returned to the clinic, Sister Dan Shu had already been waiting for a while.

On the table in front of her were the packaged medicinal pills.

"You're back."

Sister Dan Shu sat on a stool, looking up at Hu Tao and the others passing through the doorway.

"Ms. Sister Dan Shu, we have already sent Xiao Yu home."

Bai Zhu walked up to Sister Dan Shu and said.

Sister Dan Shu nodded. She didn't hand the prepared medicine directly to Bai Zhu and the others, but instead said to everyone in a conversational tone:

"Thank you all for your hard work this time."

"Heaven-Deficient like us inevitably suffer humiliation when we are young."

"It is precisely because of this that I said those words to Xiao Yu, which must have sounded very harsh to your ears."

"If I could, I wouldn't want to say such things to a child."

"But compared to what she will experience in the future, these words can only be considered a gentle breeze."

"I... just wanted Xiao Yu to be prepared in her heart early."

Upon hearing this, thinking of what might happen to Xiao Yu,

even the usually carefree Hu Tao fell into silence.

"By the way, this is the gift I promised to give you."

"After studying the prescription you provided me, Bai Zhu, I had a bit of inspiration."

"I compared it with relevant historical records and formulated a medicine for extending life and strengthening the body."

"I have named it 'Cloud-Dining Dew-Bearing Pill'; it should have quite special effects for short-lived species like you."

"I think it might be able to more than double your lifespan."

As she spoke, Sister Dan Shu pushed a box of pills on the table toward Bai Zhu.

Bai Zhu opened the box, and a medicinal fragrance immediately wafted out.

Everyone looked closely and saw 5 pills placed in the box,

which happened to correspond to Bai Zhu, Hu Tao, Qiqi, Neuvillette, and Stelle who were present.

【Yae Miko: Only 5 pills? It seems we tourists who didn't act with Neuvillette and Bai Zhu don't get a share.】

【Mona: After all, Sister Dan Shu doesn't know we exist, so naturally she wouldn't prepare these pills for us.

However, did she really refine this "Cloud-Dining Dew-Bearing Pill" so quickly?】

【Tighnari: More than doubling one's lifespan, this... is this really possible?】

【Chef Mao: If this medicine can really do such a thing, then this pill is undoubtedly a divine medicine.】

【Schubert: Damn it, why didn't I get this medicine?】

【Eula: Uncle, it's not yet certain whether this medicine has such effects.

This Sister Dan Shu created this Cloud-Dining Dew-Bearing Pill based on the prescription of the Long Pan Qiu Yue.】

【Amber: Yeah, yeah, and it's not yet certain whether Sister Dan Shu is a member of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.】

【Schubert: Hmph, what do you, a traitor of the Lawrence family, know? And that so-called Outrider too!】

【Schubert: Since this Sister Dan Shu was able to sacrifice herself to save Xiao Yu, how could she be a bad person?

Besides, Sister Dan Shu is a Master Alchemist; her medical skills are naturally quite superb. It certainly wouldn't be difficult for her to refine this "Cloud-Dining Dew-Bearing Pill" based on parts of the Long Pan Qiu Yue prescription.】

【Schubert: A divine medicine that can increase lifespan by more than double—just thinking about it is incredibly exciting!】

【Lisa: Oh my, even though you didn't go to the Xianzhou, where does this inexplicable confidence come from?】

【Morax: Generally speaking, it is better to be cautious.】

【Wanyan: But... but if this pill can really strengthen the body and more than double one's lifespan, wouldn't it be a waste not to eat it?】

As a believer of the Salt God, Wanyan also had doubts about the "Cloud-Dining Dew-Bearing Pill".
