Chapter 260 - You Were Here When the Nightmare Went Away

The slender figure stood before the window against the light, looking at Bai Aoxue for a very long time without blinking.

Bai Aoxue said softly, “You have woken up.”

This was the first sentence she said to Liushuang after the accident.

Liushuang, on hearing Bai Aoxue’s words, looked at Bai Aoxue with his peach-blossom-like eyes shining while his stiff appearance changed in an instant.

“This time it’s true. You are really in front of me safely.” Liushuang said softly.

The words were filled with relief.

During the period of searching for Bai Aoxue, he always had nightmares after taking a rest occasionally. He always saw her over and over again, walking towards him with a smile or talking to him softly.

However, whenever he wanted to speak to her or hold her tightly, she suddenly disappeared, or the picture changed, showing that she stood at the edge of the cliff and jumped up, saying goodbye to him in the most resolute and bitter way.

Whenever this happened, he would suddenly wake up and inhale hard, and then he would tell himself that this was only a dream which would disappear after he woke up. As long as he found her, this dream would be gone.

Now, she finally appeared in front of him. No one knew how scared and excited he was.

When he woke up, there was no one around him. He thought he was dreaming again, but when looking at the surrounding environment and recalling everything before he fainted, he finally felt the power of his heartbeat.

He went to her quickly, and every step carried his heartbeat.

Now seeing that she was safe and sound and talked softly to him as she did in her dream, he was throbbing in his heart for an instant, and he knew it was not a dream.

Not the dream that every time he spoke, she would disappear.

In his life, he didn’t want to put her in danger again by all means!

Such a kind of feeling! He really didn’t want to go through it again.

Because for once, he had already spent all his panic and sadness in his life.

“Are you feeling better?” Hearing Liushuang’s words, Bai Aoxue was slightly stunned and then gently smiled, saying.

Liushuang walked slowly to Bai Aoxue’s side and nodded, saying, “I feel much better. After a good rest, I am now in good spirits. Don’t worry.”

Bai Aoxue nodded and said, “Go and eat something. Jianjia might have cooked porridge. You need to eat more now. You must not have eaten well in recent days.”

Hearing Bai Aoxue’s words with concern, Liushuang seemed to feel the warmth in the heart.

“After you fell off the cliff, I didn’t go back to find Mumian and others, and I did not go with Jun Yeyan, either. I went down the cliff alone to find you first. I didn’t know the specific situation, but I found Mo Yilou’s corpse under the cliff.” Liushuang looked at Bai Aoxue and said softly.

Bai Aoxue listened to Liushuang’s words, with her phoenix-like eyes slightly raised. She said lightly, “It’s really lucky for Mo Yilou to die in this way.”

Hearing Bai Aoxue’s words, Liu Huang’s eyes were slightly cold. He said, “If he hadn’t been dead, I would have tortured him and made him suffer a lot!”

Bai Aoxue looked at Liushuang who was so resentful at this moment and said gently, “Forget it. He is dead, after all. So, don’t worry about it anymore. You’d better get something to eat first. Let’s talk about other things later in detail.”

Liushuang nodded and turned to leave.

And Jianjia had given Bai Aoxue the juice of Mu Yun Grass.

“Sister Aoxue, my master will be here soon. All the herbs are ready.” Jianjia said excitedly.

Bai Aoxue took the porcelain bottle in her hand and looked at the streamer of the wanton medicine juice, glittering and translucent in the sun.

This was Mu Yun Grass which she had been searching for a long time but was still not found. Now it seemed that it was not a bad thing that she fell off the cliff. If all of this had not happened, then she still could not have found Mu Yun Grass.

Fortunately, she was still alive. She found Qi Tiance and fulfilled Helian Cangyue’s last wish. Besides, she found Mu Yun Grass.

When Bai Aoxue sighed with emotion, Qi Tiance had already brought many herbs into the room.

Bai Aoxue looked at Qi Tiance’s herbs in his hands and smiled, saying, “Thank you. Sorry to bother you and Jianjia.”

“Sister Aoxue! It’s okay. There’s no trouble at all. Really.” Jianjia took the herbs from Qi Tiance and looked at Bai Aoxue. She shook her head gently and said.

Qi Tiance, like Jianjia, nodded gently as well.

“Do you still feel pain in your foot?” Qi Tiance looked at Bai Aoxue’s foot and asked in a heavy voice.

Bai Aoxue looked at her bandaged foot and shook her head slowly, saying, “After the pain went away last night, I felt much better. There is no pain now. It will take a while for my nerves to recover. It will probably take effect in the evening.”

Qi Tiance didn’t say more when he heard Bai Aoxue’s words. After all, Bai Aoxue, like him, had excellent medical skills which might be better than those of him. She could say so, which meant that the drug effect was really taken well.

There was nothing to worry about.

“What medicine do you want to refine?” Qi Tiance moved the table to the side of Bai Aoxue, which also facilitated Bai Aoxue’s action of taking the medicine.

Bai Aoxue carefully counted to the medicinal materials and said, “You know that Mu Yun Grass is a holy drug for detoxification, but if only Mu Yun Grass is used, it will not work well. The herbs on the list I have given you can catalyze the effect of Mu Yun Grass very well, with no side effects. Though the refined medicine is not the detoxification for all the poisons, it can detoxify hundreds of toxicities.”

Qi Tiance was involuntarily shocked in his mind when he heard Bai Aoxue’s words and looked at Bai Aoxue’s earnest appearance, knowing that she did not lie or exaggerate.

The medicine for detoxifying hundreds of poisons could not be well refined even by him, not to mention that it had no side effects. But Bai Aoxue said this so easily. It showed that she had enough confidence.

This shocked him involuntarily.

When Qi Tiance came back to his consciousness, Bai Aoxue had already started refining in an orderly way. Even Jianjia, who was usually dismissive of refining drugs, was watching her attentively on the side at this moment.

Qi Tiance was also focused, carefully watching every move of Bai Aoxue and remembering her every step.

And he could also see that Bai Aoxue was deliberately slowing down so that he could keep it in mind.

For the doctor who refined the medicine, it was impossible to disclose the process of refining the medicine to anyone who was not her disciple or underling.

It was more impossible to slow down just as Bai Aoxue did, and the speed of refining was so slow that even Jianjia could remember it.

Qi Tiance did not pretend not to look or study. Because for every doctor who refined the medicine, it was imperative to spend his whole life pursuing the perfection of pharmacology.

Even he was not excluded. He would not miss such a good opportunity because he knew that this was a way of Bai Aoxue to express her gratitude to them.

If he did not see, it meant that he would not accept it.

Although he thought that Bai Aoxue did not need to thank him, he also did not want to let Bai Aoxue’s kindness go to waste.

With this in mind, Qi Tiance finally discovered that each step and gesture of Bai Aoxue were much more accurate than those of him, and even the dosage of medicinal materials was much more accurate than he did.

He had to admit that Bai Aoxue’s medical skill was much better than that of him.

Fortunately, he was never a boaster, nor did he boast in front of Bai Aoxue. Otherwise, he would be extremely ashamed.

For a while, the room was silent, and no one bothered Bai Aoxue.

“Hoo… It’s done!” Bai Aoxue said gently at the moment when the refinement was completed. She was finally relieved.

“Wow! Sister Aoxue, the color of this pill is so beautiful, and it is emerald green! I really want to eat it.” Jianjia looked at the pills in the transparent glass bottle and said admiringly.

And Qi Tiance was also looking at Bai Aoxue’s pills without blinking. He sighed with emotion in his heart unceasingly.

Bai Aoxue was much younger than him in age, but both her mind and her medical skill had reached an impeccable point.

Looking at the pills refined by Bai Aoxue, Qi Tiance couldn’t help feeling ashamed, compared with Bai Aoxue.

“Beautiful? I can only give you two pills this time, and I will give you some more next time.” Bai Aoxue said happily, looking at this pill. She seemed to have seen Jun Yeyan who was alive and energetic.

The medicine that could detoxify Jun Yeyan’s poison had finally been refined and the far-fetched feeling for a long time had disappeared. Now Bai Aoxue was relaxed both in spirit and in mind.

“It’s really very beautiful. The pills made by my master are all dark. I don’t have any appetite at all when seeing them. It’s so beautiful of Sister Aoxue’s pills. I just want to eat them now.” Jianjia took the pills from Bai Aoxue and swallowed one without any hesitation.

She narrowed her eyes, longing for more as if a kitten had eaten with satisfaction, but she did not find Qi Tiance’s awkward appearance.

He didn’t expect that his disciple, in front of beautiful and delicious things, would reveal his scandal without hesitation like this. Qi Tiance gave Bai Aoxue an awkward look.

However, he saw Bai Aoxue give him some refined pills as well.

“I don’t need so many pills. Keep a few pills for yourself. You should have remembered the steps and the dosage of the medicine. You can also try to innovate in the future, or we can ask for advice from each other.” Bai Aoxue handed Qi Tiance the pills and said earnestly.

There was no pride or complacency in her eyes, but only seriousness and modesty.

Qi Tiance took the pills and nodded, saying, “I’m afraid that I’ll come to you often to ask for advice in the future.”

Bai Aoxue listened to Qi Tiance’s words and smiled gently, but she did not express any opinion to his words.

“Come here quickly!” Squinting at the door, Bai Aoxue laughed and said.

When Bai Aoxue refined the medicine, Liushuang had already come over, but watching Bai Aoxue refine the medicine, he just kept staying at the door and did not disturb her.

With his slender body leaning against the door frame, his hands overlapping, and his peach-blossom-like eyes narrowing slightly, he listened to the words of Bai Aoxue and gently smiled.

Bai Aoxue threw the pill to Liushuang and said, “Take it, in case you are poisoned by someone else in the future. In this case, if I am not here, no one can save you.”

Liushuang did not hesitate to take the pill and did not care about whether the pill was poisonous or not.

He would take everything given by Bai Aoxue. Even if it was the white arsenic, he would take it with a smile.

With the gradual recovery of Bai Aoxue, three days had passed, and it was the first time for Bai Aoxue to remove the bandage.

Both Jianjia and Liushuang were a little nervous and stood beside Qi Tiance, watching him take off the bandage step by step.
