Lu Fei pursed his lips tightly. His body was strong and not weak at all, but he was dying. Could it be that the weak one... was the soul?
As a person, Xiyue guessed earlier than him that this was a sign that the end was coming, but she still had a little illusion. Now that the bubble of hope was burst, although she was reluctant to give up, she accepted it calmly.
People cannot be too greedy. We are already lucky enough in this life and should be content.
She smiled: "Lu Fei, let's rent a courtyard and live there for a month. I've seen enough scenery."
In January, Lu Fei's heart trembled: "Is your... birthday... approaching?"
"Well, it's the seventh day of July." Xiyue smiled lightly, with a trace of reluctance flashing in her eyes as she lowered her eyes.
"Qixi Festival," Jiang Shida joked with a smile, "You are quite good at picking the day. Today is the eighth day of June, and one month is enough for you to get better."
As he said this, he saw Lu Fei's body swaying and his face was almost transparent. He was stunned: "Brother Lu, what are you doing?"
Without waiting for an answer, he shook his head and comforted: "I know you value your junior sister. Didn't Doctor Yu say that she is not sick or poisoned? Maybe it is because the weather is getting hotter and she cannot bear the heat. As the saying goes, summer It's a good time to sleep in the hot sun, but I often feel sleepy these days."
Lu Fei was silent for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Yu Tianxian and asked, "Can her body withstand the high intensity of traveling?"
Yu Tianxian's eyes flashed slightly and she asked, "Do you have any way to save her?"
Lu Fei looked at Xiyue who looked confused and said softly: "I don't know if it can succeed, but I want to give it a try."
He looked into Xiyue's eyes, with a hint of pleading in his tone: "Ayue, if we don't want to be comfortable this month, how about we work hard?"
Xi Yue was stunned. His eyes were always clear, bright and full of energy, but now they were full of love and reluctance. Something slowly seeped into his heart...
The gaze was so intoxicating that she nodded almost subconsciously, "Okay."
Jiang Shida was confused. The result of taking the pulse was not a big problem. How could he be rescued?
When he was confused, he saw Yu Tianxian looking over: "You should step aside for a moment. I have some private matters to discuss with Young Master Lu."
Even though Jiang Shida had a thousand objections, he had to agree. After going out, he did not forget to help guard to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
Jade Heavenly Immortal raised her eyes and advised: "Princess Xiyue's fate is fixed and cannot be changed without human intervention. Even you, Yunhuang Island, are unable to change it. Why not fulfill her wish and finish her last journey peacefully."
Lu Fei was shocked, pulled out Mo Li, and pointed his sword at Jade Immortal: "Are you from the Imperial Master's Office?"
Yu Tianxian lowered his eyes and glanced at the sword blade less than an inch away from his neck, and his tone remained calm: "I have a cousin who was selected by the Imperial Prefect's Office to become a mage when he was young. When I went home a few years ago, I heard him mention Princess Xiyue's escape during a chat. The palace is missing."
She paused, glanced at Xiyue, who was confused by the sudden message, and said: "Long-term silence has led to the deterioration of language function. I am not understanding of people and current affairs, and my age is appropriate.
Calculating the time, we first met in Cuizhu Town, which happened to be the second day after the princess left the palace. And with this weird illness, she could only be Princess Xiyue. "
She turned her attention to Lu Fei again: "As for you, spiritual jade is precious. Even the Imperial Master's Office doesn't have a few pieces. Only people from Yunhuang Island have the confidence to take out spiritual jade casually.
More importantly, flying pigeons are not the way to deliver messages. The birds you send to deliver messages can recognize people and find their way, so they should be legendary spiritual beasts. "
Lu Fei was silent and said coldly: "What do you want? Lingyu?"
Since he sent Qiling Ge to deliver the message, he didn't want to hide Yunhuangdao's identity, but he didn't expect that she would find out A Yue's identity.
Yu Tianxian smiled lightly, if it were anyone else and the secret was exposed, it would be time to kill and silence them.
She smiled and said: "I really saw the right person. Don't worry, I didn't tell anyone her identity."
After a moment of silence, Lu Fei put away Moli Sword: "Thank you."
The Jade Heaven Immortal sighed deeply: "Princess Xiyue used her own luck to protect the peace of the people of a country, but she was also slandered as a witch who subjugated the country. We mortals are as small as dust and cannot compete with the royal families and national master's offices of other countries. What we can do , it’s just this trivial matter.”
Lu Fei twitched the corner of his mouth, without comment, and asked again: "Can her body withstand the high-intensity journey?"
"Of course, there is nothing wrong with her health."
After saying that, Yu Tianxian pursed her lips, a hint of embarrassment flashed across her indifferent face, and he hesitated: "I heard that Yunhuang Island's spiritual doctor has superb medical skills. Can I go and see it?"
Yunhuang Island is isolated and mysterious. Even the Imperial Master's Office doesn't know how to enter it, and most people don't even know it exists. She had been practicing medicine for many years and searching everywhere before getting some scattered information.
"Sorry, outsiders are not allowed to set foot on Yunhuang Island."
Yu Tianxian glanced at Xiyue and thought to herself, isn't she also an outsider?
Time was running out, so Lu Fei pulled Xi Yue up and said, "Let's go."
When the two were about to go out, Yu Tianxian stopped him: "Wait a minute, I have another question. How did you know that I was looking for Ling Yu?"
Lu Fei didn't even look back, and said calmly: "There are rumors in the world that you love beautiful jade, and you almost only receive jade for medical treatment. However, you have collected so much jade, but you are not seen wearing it on weekdays. Obviously, your love for jade is fake;
Think again that you have a grandmother who is bedridden all year round. It is not difficult to guess that you are looking for spiritual jade for her. "
After leaving the house, Lu Fei said goodbye to Jiang Shida briefly, abandoned the carriage, and took Xi Yue on horseback, heading north.
As time went by, Xi Yue fell asleep for longer and longer periods of time, and she could sleep so darkly even on such a bumpy horseback ride.
Lu Fei's heart was always tense. He was worried that her body would not be able to bear it, and at the same time he was worried that it would be too late to return to Yunhuang Island in time.
They rode so fast all the way that they lost count of how many horses they changed. After more than half a month, they finally entered the northernmost Long Yuan Kingdom. Further north, across the vast sea, they reached Yunhuang Island.
The sun sets in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun fills the sea. The golden sunshine gradually turns into orange, soft and charming.
Suddenly, the sound of rapid horse hoofbeats broke the tranquility of the dusk. A young knight in blue and white clothes rode over on a dark brown horse, with a woman in yellow clothes in his arms.
As the four hooves flew, sand flew up.
"Uu——"
Lu Fei reined in his horse and stopped next to a large rock. When he took Xiyue off the horse, she woke up, glanced around with her eyelids raised, and said weakly: "Where are we?"
"You're awake!" Lu Fei was pleasantly surprised. She had been sleeping for nearly five days and couldn't wake up.
"This is Poseidon Abyss," he pointed at the sea covered with broken gold. "After sailing on the sea for a few days, you can reach Yunhuang Island."
Xiyue opened her eyes with difficulty, looked at the vast and magnificent sea in front of her, and sincerely praised: "It's so beautiful."
Lu Fei easily understood what she said after praising her. The sunset was infinite, but it was almost dusk.
He suppressed the sourness in his heart and took out the food from the horse. He had to let her eat more food while she was awake, so that she would have the strength to persist to Yunhuang Island.
"Eat something first. We are lucky. There is a spirit boat going back tonight. The spirit boat is very fast and can arrive in seven days."
Xiyue took the cake and ate it slowly, but the sticky sleepiness came over her again. She pinched her palms with her nails and tried her best to stay awake.
There were eight days left before her eighteenth birthday, and she knew very well that Lu Fei's tried method might not succeed on the ninth level.
Every time he falls asleep, there is a possibility that he will not wake up again. This time may be the last time he spends time with Lu Fei.
Xi Yue tried hard to turn her brain and find some questions to think about: "Lingzhou? Why do everything on your Yunhuang Island have the word "spiritual" on it?"
Lu Fei pretended not to notice her white fingernails and red palms, and said calmly: "We are descendants of monks, and the spirit boat was passed down from our ancestors, but it is actually stronger and faster than ordinary boats. There’s not much difference.”
He handed the water bag to Xi Yue and continued to tease: "Doctor Yu wants to go to the island to study medicine. He probably heard that there are immortals on the island. In fact, there are no immortals. Our breathing method is very different from that of people in the martial arts. How can we survive?" For a long time, the medical skills of those spiritual doctors will not be as good as those of doctors outside."
"What does a monk do?" Xiyue asked again.
"Hey, he's just like a Taoist priest. He practices Taoism and pursues immortality..."
A quarter of an hour later, Xiyue still couldn't hold on and fell into sleep again. Her breathing was shallow and her breath was as thin as a thread. Lu Fei was worried. Can he persist to Yunhuang Island like this?
In the middle of the night, the sky and the earth were silent. Only the waves lapped the coast tirelessly. A huge and unique ship slowly sailed to the Poseidon Abyss. People of all kinds emerged from all directions and boarded the ship in silence.
Lu Fei carried a huge bamboo strip box to the front of the ship. When the sailors on the ship saw him, they were overjoyed and called in a low voice: "Young Master, come back!"
When the others saw this, they all saluted respectfully. When they saw the box on his shoulder, someone stepped forward to help him.
Lu Fei stepped aside slightly and said, "No, I'll do it myself."
After saying that, they walked a few steps onto the boat, "I've been traveling for a few days and I'm exhausted. You guys go ahead, I need to take a nap."
As he spoke, he walked straight to a room, closed the hatch with his foot, and then put down the box. Just as he was about to open it and take Xiyue out, the door rang.
If someone knocks on his door at this time, no need to guess, it must be his third uncle who is the captain.
Helpless, Lu Fei could only close the box and open the door: "Uncle, long time no see."
Lu Lin patted him on the shoulder: "Boy, where have you been in the past two years? Your father and mother are so anxious!"
"I was trying to distract the pursuers. Later, there were too many new things outside, and I was a little curious, so I was delayed." Lu Fei explained with a smile, quietly blocking his view.
Lu Lin glanced at the bamboo strip box behind him and joked: "You are smart when you go out. You also know how to bring gifts. Prepare more beautiful clothes for your mother to make her happy. Maybe you can avoid this punishment." ”
Lu Fei diligently picked up the teacup on the table and handed it over: "Third uncle, you have to say something nice to me."
Lu Linhu was stunned: "Good boy, serve me with my tea, you know how to plan."
Lu Fei chuckled.
Lu Lin was the captain and had a lot of things to do with the ship, so he left after saying a few words.
After closing the hatch, Lu Fei quickly took Xiyue out of the box and placed her on the bed, looking at her peaceful sleeping face with worry.
During the voyage of the spirit boat, Xi Yue did not wake up once, which made Lu Fei frightened. During the voyage, there was a storm at sea, and he was worried that she would be thrown out of the house. Lu Fei did not go out, which almost aroused Lu Lin's suspicion.
Seeing that it was the sixth day of July, Lu Fei was extremely anxious. It was rumored that Princess Xiyue would die on her eighteenth birthday, but the exact time on her birthday was not certain.
What's worse is that Xiyue's body temperature is also constantly lowering, and she only has one breath left.
Lu Fei was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, constantly looking outside. From the dim light of morning to the fall of dusk, he still didn't see the familiar island.
Seeing dusk rising and the sea turning dark, Lu Fei couldn't sit still and went out to call the crew and asked, "When can we arrive?"
"If nothing else happens, we will arrive at the end of Xu Shi."
When Lu Fei heard this, he became even more anxious. If nothing unexpected happened at the end of Xu Shimo, if there was something unexpected, it would have to arrive tomorrow.
He picked up the quilt and wrapped Xiyue until only her head was exposed, but it still failed to stop her body temperature from falling.
Maybe God heard his prayer. At the beginning of the hour, there was a loud noise outside, and the ship was about to dock.
Lu Fei didn't care about anything else and didn't wait for the boat to dock. He directly picked up Xi Yue and used Qing Kung Fu to jump to the shore. Then he disappeared quickly before the people on the shore could react.
A group of islanders waiting to unload the goods widened their eyes, "That was the young island owner just now, right? Am I dazzled? I thought I saw him holding a woman?"
"You're not dazzled, I saw it too."
"Which daughter is that?"
…
Not only were they discussing, but the passengers on the ship were also shocked. The clever crew member hurriedly informed Lu Lin: "Third Master, the young master seems to have brought outsiders to the island."
Lu Lin's expression suddenly changed. He thought of the bamboo strip box, and then recalled that Lu Fei didn't go out to help during the storm. This was most likely true.
He took a breath and ordered in a deep voice: "Go and check his room. No one is allowed to enter without my order."
Lu Fei could no longer care about the disturbance here. He used Qinggong all the way to his secret base - Zhuoxiang Cave.
The feeling in his arms became colder and colder, and his breathing was so soft that he couldn't hear it.
"Ayue, hold on, we're almost there!"
Lu Fei wished he could grow eight legs and walk through the deep cave into the depths. Inside was a clear pool with a graceful lotus flower standing on the edge of the pool.
This is the secret base he accidentally discovered. He has been active since he was a child and is a good student in martial arts. However, literacy is his shortcoming. His head gets tight when he sees books.
Back then, I was feeling dizzy from reciting the book. I accidentally came here and drank the water from the pool, and my mind became clear.
At first, he thought it was because of the coolness of the pond, but later he found that his mind was particularly clear when he came here to endorse, and then he was surprised to realize that it might be because of the pond.
And this lotus flower with two stems has never withered since he first saw it, and it will always be in full bloom.
He scooped up water from the pool and prepared to feed it to Xiyue, but at this time she could no longer drink it.
"excuse me."
He took the pool water in his mouth and fed it with his mouth. After feeding him a large bowl of pool water, she still didn't respond.
