“This is something I specially got from our Time Lord, otherwise how could I guarantee you’ll get better?” Moxi poured out some beige powder and gently applied it to her wound.
Shang Xian felt a cool sensation in her wound, and the pain instantly subsided.
Seeing Moxi's serious expression, she decided to find a topic to talk about.
"XiXi, you should have plenty of this kind of medicine here, right?"
Moxi blew on her wound before replying, "This medicine is only available to the lord, and it's extremely rare."
"Why?" Shang Xian was a little confused as to why only his boss had it.
Moxi straightened her collar and looked at her: "Because this medicine was concocted by the lord for his younger brother, the Time-Space Priest."
"You have a story to tell! Tell me about it!" Shang Xian's eyes lit up, as if he wanted to hear a story.
Moxi tapped her forehead and then spoke to her anyway.
“His younger brother, the Time-Space Priest, was also on a mission with someone, just like me. The Time-Space Priest’s host wasn’t actually the target. Because he couldn’t bear to see a breathtakingly beautiful man die, he sent him to another dimension. He agreed to one thing for that man, which was to take him to the other dimension on the condition that the man casually said that he could bring any woman from his world to accompany him. Then a series of things happened…” Moxi shook his head. It was a particularly painful story.
"Did the two time travelers fall in love later?" Shang Xian continued to ask.
Moxi nodded and then shook his head: "That breathtakingly beautiful man did indeed fall in love with that woman, and the Time-Space Priest, who is also the lord's brother, also fell in love with her. This woman didn't want to harm either of them because she didn't have long to live. The Time-Space Priest brought her to this alternate dimension, and after arriving there, she didn't have more than three years to live. The priest lived in agony, and he didn't dare let that man know that he had fallen in love with someone he shouldn't have. Later, during a mission, he chose to save that man, intending to die with that woman. But it was all too late..."
"That woman is so pitiful," Shang Xian said, resting her chin on her hand. She felt quite sorry for the woman, who was taken to another world as a condition without knowing anything. "Did she die?"
Moxi shook his head: "No, it was a criminal we've been hunting who saved her. Later, the lord brought her to our world, where she's been clinging to life, living a painful existence."
"Where is the Time-Space Priest then?"
"The priest... he lost all his powers and lived a painful sixteen years in the human world, numbing himself with alcohol all day long. When he was awake, he would paint for her, and finally died and returned to this world."
Shang Xian was somewhat pleased: "Then that's a good ending."
"Is it a happy ending? The priestess grew up under the lord's protection. After sixteen years apart, the priestess had really grown up. Later, the lord told the priestess that she was not dead, and they went to the human world together. What awaited them were more secrets." Moxi had never been able to figure out the woman's true identity. She was neither human nor like them. It was very strange.
"Isn't it a happy ending? At least the two people who love each other are together."
Moxi patted her head: "That woman forgot everything. It's most unfair to that breathtakingly beautiful man the priest saved. He put her first, yet the priest quietly sent him back to his original world."
