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

"Hmm... I'll just consider it a way to help me heal my demonic body."

"…ah?"

Jing Yuan was stunned for a moment, his face showing some confusion.

Jingliu simply leaned closer and whispered, "You don't want to? It really was just a lie..."

"I can do it..."

Jing Yuan interrupted her, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again to look at that face, his heart couldn't help but flutter...

Those thin, pink lips could be touched with just a slight movement from him…

His heart was beating faster and faster, and the sounds around him were gradually drowned out by the rapid beating of his heart.

Master… Jingliu… she’s really here… she’s really, really back…

Jingyuan hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to meld her into his body and never let her go again…

Their eyes closed again, their faces pressed tightly together, overlapping...

The intense emotions, though unspoken, were conveyed through words.

...

Bai Lu peeked through the crack in the door at Jing Yuan, who had come forward to greet her. She watched him embrace the woman with a blissful expression and kiss her passionately…

Her body began to tremble, and she slowly raised her small hand to cover her chest. An indescribable surge of intense emotions welled up inside her...

Bai Lu opened her small mouth, seemingly panting, but her breath was as faint as a spider's thread...

She continued to stare at them through the narrow crack in the door, her vision growing increasingly blurry until she completely lost the ability to see...

She couldn't see anymore... she couldn't find... her own place, beside the general... her own spot...

Her slender, white hand pressed tightly against her chest, as if her heart was being squeezed tightly, slowly crushed…

It hurts so much...

He shouldn't have been injured...

Why do I feel so bad? Why?

She hugged herself, tears streaming down her face like broken pearls, her teeth clenched tightly around her lip, even as small drops of blood seeped out, she didn't loosen her grip an inch...

She cried so loudly that she couldn't make a sound...

...

Miss Ruoqing, a young maid from the General's Mansion, carrying a pile of clothes, walked with a smile through the elegant courtyard, ready to get to work...

She hummed a lighthearted tune, then suddenly turned her head and glanced at something.

With just one glance, her smile froze instantly, and her entire body stood frozen in place as if time had stopped.

After a silence of about one or two seconds, a scream echoed throughout the General's Mansion...

"Miss Bailu!!!"

She dropped the clothes she was holding and rushed to the doorway with all her might, picking up the petite girl who had fainted on the floor...

Chapter 208 Unbeatable

"What's up with her?"

Jing Yuan frowned as he looked at Bai Lu lying on the bed, holding her hand tightly, his heart filled with unease.

"This...this subordinate did not know. When I saw Miss Bailu, I saw her collapsed at the door..."

Ruoqing said with some apprehension, her eyes glancing frequently at Bailu on the bed, a hint of worry in her eyes.

Jing Yuan frowned and turned to look at the servant waiting at the door. "Has the physician not arrived yet?"

"Reporting to the General, it's...not yet...but they say it's already on its way!"

Jing Yuan took a deep breath, waved his hand, and looked at Bai Lu again.

The Sword Saint and the Diviner, who had just left the General's Mansion, were called back by a phone call and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"We were fine when we left, how come we fainted so quickly?"

"How would I know..."

Jing Yuan sighed dejectedly and stroked the face of the person on the bed.

Jingliu, standing quietly to one side, looked at Xiaolongniang with traces of tears on her face and had some guesses in his heart.

This girl... has such deep feelings for Jingyuan...

Suddenly, her eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyelids slowly opened, revealing her moist eyes.

Jing Yuan was overjoyed and quickly leaned forward, asking softly, "Are you feeling better? What happened just now? Is there anything wrong with your body?"

"... "

Bai Lu looked at him quietly, and the suppressed, dark emotions in her heart surged up again. Her nose stung, and her eyes instantly filled with tears.

Jing Yuan was stunned when he saw this, and his heart felt as if it had been stabbed by a needle.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

A strong sense of unease and panic welled up in his chest and lungs. Jing Yuan slowly picked her up, a look of helplessness appearing on his usually calm face.

Bai Lu bit her lip tightly, tears streaming down her face, nestled in his arms, trying to suppress her sobs…

Jingyuan could only hold her tightly, trying his best to comfort and soothe her, but in the end, she fell into a deep sleep without revealing a single reason why she was so sad…

...

Looking at the sleeping Little Dragon Girl on the bed, Jing Yuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, a hint of weariness showing between his brows…

Intense emotions surged and eroded his spirit; the sorrow of those he cared about was more debilitating than centuries of toil…

Fu Xuan frowned, looking at his expression. He glanced at Yu Chen, tightened his grip on his hand, and then looked at Jing Yuan, saying, "If it's not working out, I can keep watch over Luofu for you for a few more days. She needs you to stay with her a lot..."

Yu Chen pursed his lips, and despite his doting nature towards his wife, he didn't say anything more at this moment.

He glanced at the little dragon girl, whose face still showed a trace of sadness even after she fell asleep, and sighed softly.

With him protecting her, Fu Xuan wasn't worried about her getting tired these past few days, as he stayed by her side closely...

It seems this little dragon maiden is indispensable; she's Jing Yuanyuan's protector...

Jing Yuan was silent for a while, then gave a wry smile and said, "I won't force you. Since you've both taken leave and decided to rest for a while, you two should take a good rest..."

"At worst, I can just work from the General's Mansion for now. I don't need to worry about anything going wrong while I'm here with her."

"We told you we could give you a few more days, why are you being so stubborn now?"

Yu Chen snorted coldly and glared at him.

Jing Yuan shook his head and looked at him, saying, "Yu Chen, you've worked hard these past few days... It's thanks to you that you've wiped out the remnants of abundance and destruction on Luofu that the situation has been stabilized so quickly."

"I did all this for my wife, you're not thanking me for anything!"

He snorted and, too lazy to pay any more attention to the guy, turned his face away and remained silent.

"In short, I won't trouble you two any further. I will take good care of Bailu!"

Fu Xuan stared at him for a while, then glanced at Bai Lu on the bed, shook his head and said, "Then I won't say anything more. General, you... take care of yourself."

She naturally didn't care about Jingyuan's situation; she was only worried that Xiaobailu would suffer too much, which was why she thought of making her endure a few more days of hardship so she could have some comfort...

However, since Jingyuan had already gone this far, it wasn't appropriate to offer any further advice...

White Dew, oh White Dew, I hope he can truly protect you well...

After they left, Jingyuan looked at the door and sighed deeply again.

Jingliu reached out and gently touched his shoulder.

Jing Yuan turned his head and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.

Thankfully, Master is back... I can rely on him now...

He looked down at Bailu again, and seeing the sorrowful look on her face, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

He reached out to stroke her face, trying to ease her expression, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't smooth down her furrowed brows...

So, my little Bailu, what's wrong with you...?

...

The journey home was somewhat silent, with Yu Chen leaning against Fu Xuan's small face as they walked slowly.

It had rained not long ago, but the air was still quite dry.

The wind brushed against my face, bringing a slightly astringent feeling.

Fortunately, unlike the normal four seasons, winter is not just bare trees and dry grass. There are many evergreen plants on Luofu Mountain, adding a touch of green to this gloomy winter.

"Yukong wants to hold an air burial for this deceased person..."

"I see."

Yu Chen responded softly, "That's not surprising. After a great battle, people always mourn those who have passed away."
