Ah Qi dodged in time, but his sleeve was still torn by the beast, and blood gushed from the wound.
"Watch out!" the Moon Guards shouted, drawing their weapons and preparing to fight the beast.
However, Ah Qi waved his hand, signaling them to step back. He knew that he had to remain calm and resolute at this moment.
He thought of Xu Yuehuai's blind eyes; he had to retrieve the herbs to heal them, and that was his motivation to move forward.
He raised his longsword, his eyes blazing, his muscles tensing, ready to face the beast's attack.
A fierce battle ensued. The beast roared, its claws flailing wildly, while Ah Qi nimbly dodged, each swing of his sword brimming with power.
The Moon Guardians held their breath, watching the battle with bated breath. Their hearts were filled with awe and worry, but even more so with unwavering trust in Ah Qi.
After a fierce battle, Ah Qi finally found the beast's weakness and plunged his sword into its chest. The beast collapsed to the ground in agony, twitching a few times before becoming still.
Ah Qi sat exhausted on the ground, panting heavily, his face covered in sweat and dirt. He looked up at the sky, his heart filled with relief and pride.
In the journey that followed, Ah Qi and the Moon Guards encountered even more dangers.
The cliffs were steep and the rocks were jagged, requiring them to proceed with extreme caution. They climbed the treacherous cliffs, constantly overcoming difficulties and exhaustion.
When they finally found the magical herb, they discovered that it was guarded by a giant eagle.
"This thing is terrifying! It's enormous!"
"With the giant eagle guarding this place, how could we possibly succeed in taking that herb?"
"This task is simply impossible!"
"Should we go back?"
Some of the Moon Guards were so intimidated by the sight of the giant eagle that they didn't dare to advance an inch.
The eagle spread its wings and soared into the sky, emitting a sharp cry, seemingly warning the intruders.
Ah Qi and the Moon Guards immediately became alert. They knew that in order to obtain the herbs, they had to defeat the giant eagle first.
The battle resumed. Ah Qi and the eagle clashed in the air, their swords flashing and feathers flying.
The Moon Guards searched for an opportunity to support Ah Qi on the ground. After a fierce battle, Ah Qi finally struck the eagle's wing with his longsword. The eagle cried out in pain and fell off the cliff.
Panting heavily, Ah Qi laboriously climbed up the cliff. He grabbed the herbs, his heart filled with joy and satisfaction.
But at that moment, the cliff suddenly collapsed, and Ah Qi lost his balance and fell down.
"Young Master, are you alright?"
Don't scare us!
You must hold on!
"We'll take you back to the city right away!"
The Moon Guards rushed forward in alarm to check on the situation. They found Ah Qi lying among the rocks, covered in blood, his life hanging in the balance. The Moon Guards quickly carried Ah Qi down the cliff and found herbs to treat his wounds.
After some treatment, Ah Qi finally slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing the concerned expressions on the Moon Guards' faces and the herbs in their hands, a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that all the hardships and sacrifices had been worthwhile.
In the end, Ah Qi delivered the herbs back to the royal city and gave them to the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest examined the herbs carefully and nodded: "These are exactly the herbs we need."
He boiled the herbs into a medicinal broth and personally fed it to Xu Yuehuai.
The herb was extremely bitter, but as long as it could restore her eyes to normal, Xu Yuehuai was willing to eat it no matter how bitter it was!
Later, the Taoist priest would perform acupuncture treatment on Xu Yuehuai every day. Although the process was extremely painful, Xu Yuehuai never gave up.
After half a month of treatment, Xu Yuehuai's eyesight has finally improved somewhat. Although she cannot fully regain her sight, she can now see some things vaguely.
At this moment, both Xu Yuehuai and A Qi were so moved that they shed tears.
"Ah Qi, thank you for always being there for me and helping me," Xu Yuehuai said gratefully.
"Sister Yue, this is what I should do," Ah Qi replied with a smile. "It's all because of me that you've become like this, so I must take good care of you!"
Xu Yuehuai smiled faintly, but she remembered everything A Qi had done for her.
The Taoist priest gave Xu Yuehuai a final acupuncture treatment, and miraculously, Xu Yuehuai's eyesight gradually returned.
"I think I can see it completely now!" Xu Yuehuai waved her hand in front of her, and she could clearly see her fingers.
Overjoyed, Ah Qi excitedly said to the Taoist priest, "Thank you so much, Master, for saving my life!"
The Taoist priest smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It is because your young lady has great blessings that she has such good fortune."
He was about to leave when Xu Yuehuai told Aqi and the others to leave first, and asked the Taoist priest to stay a little longer.
Although Ah Qi felt particularly puzzled, he did not refute Xu Yuehuai and led his men away first.
After everyone had left, she confronted the Taoist priest directly, asking, "Are you the miracle doctor I know?"
The Taoist priest did not answer immediately, but instead gave Xu Yuehuai a deep look, his eyes seemingly holding a deeper meaning.
Xu Yuehuai felt a little uneasy under his gaze, and her heart couldn't help but pound with unease. After a while, the Taoist priest suddenly burst into laughter, his voice switching to a tone that Xu Yuehuai recognized.
Xu Yuehuai was taken aback, not expecting that the Taoist priest in front of her was actually the Ghost Doctor.
"Miss Xu, it's true what they say, life is full of unexpected encounters!" the Taoist priest said with a smile, his expression very friendly.
Xu Yuehuai was overjoyed beyond words. She had considered many possibilities, but she never expected to actually encounter the Ghost Doctor.
She looked at the Taoist priest with eyes full of gratitude and respect.
"Qi Guze, how have things been lately?" Xu Yuehuai asked.
"Everything is fine," the Ghost Doctor said with a smile. "I just can't eat or drink because I think about you all the time."
Xu Yuehuai's heart tightened; she hadn't expected Qi Guze to care about her so much. She looked at the Ghost Doctor, her eyes filled with worry.
"Is he alright?"
“Qi Guze has been doing well these days, nothing else has happened,” the Ghost Doctor explained. “He was also very worried about you and didn’t want anything to happen to you, so when he heard that something had happened to you, he sent me to help you.”
Xu Yuehuai's worries had not completely dissipated, but she knew that the most important thing now was to resolve the matter of the Mingyue Kingdom as soon as possible so that she could return to his side quickly.
She looked at the Ghost Doctor, her heart filled with gratitude. If it weren't for him, she and Qi Guze would probably be separated by death.
"Master Doctor, I will forever remember your great kindness," Xu Yuehuai said. "If you ever need anything in the future, just let me know, and I will go through fire and water for you."
The Ghost Doctor smiled slightly, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. He knew he hadn't misjudged Xu Yuehuai; he was indeed a trustworthy person.
“Miss Xu, you’re too kind,” the Ghost Doctor said. “There’s no need for such formalities between us. If you need anything, you can come to me anytime.”
