Chapter 1133: Chapter 1126: Treating Intractable Diseases

"You..." Faced with Yalunte’s defiant expression, Cheng Ziang was at a loss for words and could only sigh, letting him do as he pleased.

"Let me introduce..." After Tangmo and Baiyue forcibly pulled Zhuyan Yu off Luo’er, Luo’er straightened his clothes and said, "This is Xia Yue, the key figure in opening the Otherworld Gate this time."

Following Luo’er’s introduction, Xia Yue stepped forward with a light gait, her hands clasped behind her back and a smile as she greeted, "I have long admired your great reputations and this is our first meeting; please, offer me your guidance."

"How can she speak Chinese so fluently without any accent?" Zhuyan Yu, hearing Xia Yue speak for the first time, couldn’t help but fall into shock.

"Oh, this is..."

Luo’er hadn’t finished speaking when Xia Yue interrupted him. She looked at Zhuyan Yu with a smile and said, "I not only speak Chinese but also know your identities, Colonel Zhuyan Yu."

"You, you know me?" Zhuyan Yu pointed at herself and asked with wide eyes.

"Of course," Xia Yue nodded gently.

Her gaze swept across Zhuyan Yu and Nightingale, a flicker of expectation in her eyes, and she subconsciously licked her lips.

"What exactly is going on?" Zhuyan Yu turned to Luo’er.

"Well, it’s a long story; let’s talk about it on the road." Luo’er noticed Xia Yue’s expression, so he stepped between them, blocking Xia Yue’s line of sight.

He was very clear on what Xia Yue was thinking. In Luo’er’s memory, Zhuyan Yu and Nightingale were geniuses of their time. Just by accessing their memories, one could grasp their decades of knowledge, which was extremely tempting for Xia Yue.

"Teacher Zhu, shouldn’t you be in Lipei? Did you not participate in the opening of the Otherworld Gate?" Luo’er asked curiously.

"We are on rotation on one hand, and on the other, we’re here for data exchange. You know, the decryption of the Otherworld Gate heavily relies on the supercomputer, so we have to travel back and forth between Earth and the Otherworld to get the parameters we need through Earth’s supercomputer," Zhuyan Yu shrugged and explained.

"It sounds quite tough," Luo’er remarked.

"Ah, there’s no helping it," Zhuyan Yu shook her head, lamenting, "The in-depth study of Otherworld magic urgently needs the development of two technologies, namely observation techniques and computational capabilities. Without these technologies, it’s very difficult to break through the existing constraints," Zhuyan Yu said, continuously observing Xia Yue.

"Are computing and observation that important?" Luo’er asked puzzledly.

"Of course they are important," Zhuyan Yu replied, "Since you are not a scientific researcher, you might not understand. All the scientific and technological achievements humans have made can be attributed to the enhancement of computing power and observational studies of the microscopic world. Without these technologies, human capabilities would be confined to the Steam Age."

"So, have we made any breakthroughs in this area?" Luo’er asked.

"Regarding computational capabilities, we plan to use a differential machine in the Otherworld. of course, that has to wait until the number two gate is open. Although it can’t compare with a supercomputer, it will be much more convenient than running back and forth," Zhuyan Yu replied.

"And what about observation?" Luo’er inquired.

"We haven’t made any effective breakthroughs in observation yet; we can only try to find relevant materials from some records of the Otherworld," Zhuyan Yu said, sighing, "To this day, we still do not fully understand what magic really is and can’t make an effective observation. This is the most troublesome issue at present and it may take a long time to research."

"Oh!" Luo’er nodded as if he barely grasped the concept and then looked back at Xia Yue.

She had a mysterious smile on her face, seemingly having anticipated Luo’er’s glance, and she squinted her eyes as she made eye contact, the meaning clear without words.

Just then, a frail figure appeared in front of everyone. Seemingly exhausted from the recent sprint, she had just boarded the airboat, clutching her knees and panting heavily, looking quite distressed.

"Feng!" Seeing the newcomer, Luo’er immediately approached her with concern.

Feng grabbed Luo’er’s arm and leaned against him. Seeing Luo’er returning, she actually burst into tears.

"Why are you crying? It’s not like I’m not coming back," Luo’er said, comforting her with a wry smile.

"I, I, I was worried..." Feng spoke between breaths, her body seemingly uncomfortable.

"What’s actually wrong?" Luo’er asked, frowning with concern.

"Oh, it seems she has crippled herself through her own exertions," Xia Yue said indifferently.

"You know the reason?" Luo’er asked, turning around.

"Of course, I do," Xia Yue replied.

"Luo’er, who is she?" Feng stared at Xia Yue, furrowing his brows and showing a hostile expression.

"If you want me to save you, be polite to me," Xia Yue said, turning around and staring at her fingers.

"Does Lady Xia Yue have a way to help her?" Luo’er asked excitedly.

"Are you willing to beg me?" Hearing Luo’er’s question, Xia Yue turned back to look at him and asked with a smile.

"Of course, if it can help Feng, I am willing to beg you, Lady Xia Yue," Luo’er said sincerely.

"Then what price are you prepared to pay?" Xia Yue asked.

"This..." Luo’er was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Forget it, you owe me a favor," Xia Yue blinked her eyes while also issuing a warning, "Remember, you have to repay it!"

"I’ll remember!" Luo’er said firmly, nodding.

For Luo’er, Xia Yue showed unusual patience and initiative. Being a god, she had helped Luo’er time and again, and even he couldn’t figure out what her ultimate motive might be.

She approached Feng, and whether it was the pressure she exuded, although she was not as tall as Feng, Feng was still frightened, curling up and incessantly burrowing into Luo’er’s embrace.

"Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, she’s not a bad person," Luo’er comforted softly.

Xia Yue merely observed and discerned Feng’s problem: "The veins are torn, internal injuries are severe. To break through the obstacle, we need to heal her internal injuries first. Otherwise, the obstacle won’t be broken, but her veins will tear first."

Saying this, she reached out her hand, the intention clear—she obviously intended to use her unique physique to invade Feng’s body and heal her internal injuries.

"Don’t be afraid," Luo’er, after looking around, took Feng’s small hand and placed it on Xia Yue’s palm.

In an instant, Xia Yue’s fingers transformed into tentacles and pierced into Feng’s skin, invading continuously along the blood vessels. Although the sensation wasn’t painful, it was inevitably discomforting, thus causing Feng to cry out involuntarily.

"Does it hurt?" Luo’er asked, concerned.

"Not painful, just uncomfortable..." Feng shook her head, staring at the back of Luo’er’s hand and mumbling.

Soon, this discomfort spread to her chest. She felt as if Xia Yue had grabbed her organs, and although she still couldn’t feel pain, the indescribable sensation of being invaded made her twist her body uneasily.

This process lasted for about three minutes, at the end of which Xia Yue withdrew her hand, her tentacles transforming back into slender, jade-like fingers, and Feng’s complexion visibly improved.

"Next is..." Xia Yue said, pressing her newly formed index finger onto Feng’s chest, then suddenly concentrating magic without any warning.

Feng cried out in pain, spitting out a mouthful of congested blood. Xia Yue seemed to have anticipated this and swiftly dodged to the side.

"There, you’re healed now. Don’t be reckless anymore. And don’t let anyone sever your veins... oh, there’s no ’anymore,’ you’ve already gotten rid of that guy," Xia Yue shrugged and said.

After spitting out a mouthful of congested blood, Feng felt her breathing become more relaxed, the previously congested blood and frustration cleared away. Although she could still feel pain in her veins, it was no longer as unbearably acute as before.

"How did you heal her?" Luo’er widened his eyes, admiring her while also feeling curious.

"This girl’s veins were severed, so she tried to gather magic to break through on her own. There was nothing wrong with her approach, except the magic she accumulated wasn’t enough to break through the obstacle. But this magic was too powerful for the veins, so the repeated impacts didn’t break the barrier but instead left her veins badly damaged. If we had been a few days later, she might have played herself to death," Xia Yue shrugged and said.
