Now, many of the world's top doctors must be gathered around Senior Brother's bedside, consulting on his case! If even they can't resolve his rejection reaction, then this time, it might truly be beyond saving.
Frustrated and heartbroken, Qiqi wiped her tears several times.
Rong Yi emerged from the study and happened to see Qiqi with swollen eyes, standing foolishly under the locust tree, wiping her tears.
He felt a twinge of pity, and his resolve began to waver. "Qiqi, do you really want to save Lu Wei that badly?"
Qiqi immediately nodded without hesitation. "Mm!"
At the same time, she lifted her head and looked at him with a pitiful expression.
Her face was haggard, with two large dark circles under her eyes, and her gaze was filled with supplication, as if the man before her was a savior.
She looked so pitiful, so unguarded in her misery—perhaps she was deliberately putting on this pitiful act for him to see.
It was meant to make him feel guilty, to make him uncomfortable—Rong Yi, look how worn out your lifesaver has become! How can you still stand by and do nothing?!
Rong Yi fell silent, his eyes showing a hint of struggle.
Qiqi continued to look up at him, pitifully gazing at him.
Finally, Rong Yi's heart softened, and he said, "His illness... actually, it's not entirely incurable..."
A flash of light crossed Qiqi's face! She rushed forward and grabbed the hem of Rong Yi's robe. "Do you have a way? You can save him, right?"
"It's not that there's no way at all..." Rong Yi spoke with some difficulty. "Unless... unless there's the Moon Gem..."
This seemed to be a big secret! Rong Yi tried his best to keep it! But under the girl's hopeful gaze, he ultimately revealed it, which naturally took great resolve.
However, Qiqi didn't notice Rong Yi's concession at this moment. She was too swept up in the good news, asking only with eager hope, "What is the Moon Gem?"
"It's a gem condensed from the moonlight's radiance, moon-white in color, sometimes crescent-shaped, sometimes full-moon-shaped, capable of shimmering with the moon's light in the darkness..."
Rong Yi described the gem's form and said, "Back in the demon realm, I once heard my father mention that in the mortal world, there is a Moon Gem, formed from the essence of the moon, possessing immense power that can bring the dead back to life... It's something beyond mortal strength, and it might be able to save your senior brother."
Qiqi was overjoyed. "The mortal world? Could it be right here with us?"
Rong Yi shook his head. "I'm referring to the mortal world among the six realms."
Qiqi felt as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped on her. "Then what's the point of saying that? I don't have a Travel Stone; I can't get over to your side!"
If he could travel through time and space back to the demon realm, Rong Yi would have already returned, wouldn't he? He wouldn't still be stuck here!
Rong Yi pondered, his expression somewhat inscrutable. "Not necessarily. You might not have to go to the six realms; you just need to search for it here—on the night of the full moon when I transform, because my demonic energy is especially abundant, I seem to sense the power of the Moon Gem! I think in your place, there should also be a Moon Gem or something similar! Perhaps, because of that gem's existence, its extraordinarily strong power influenced me, so that night I managed to stay somewhat lucid and didn't completely lose my mind..."
