Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off

Chapter 145: Chapter 145: She’s Poisoned

A Cheng also heard that something was wrong and feared there was a serious problem.

He didn’t dare delay. He hurried over and turned Jue Ying over on the bed.

A Qi, standing to the side, pursed his lips, a worried expression on his face.

He watched Shen Yue’s every move with suspicion.

When he saw Shen Yue turn Jue Ying over and prepare to lift the dress over her bottom,

He immediately covered his face and cried out in alarm.

"Miss Shen Yue, what are you doing?"

He turned to Bai Chaosi and said anxiously,

"Young Master, I don’t think Miss Shen Yue knows how to treat anyone at all! We should just take Miss Jue Ying back to Snow Ridge. If we delay any longer, what if something happens to her?!"

Bai Chaosi’s expression darkened, but before he could speak,

Shen Yue coldly snapped,

"Shut up! Make another sound and you can get out!"

She hated it when people shouted while she was examining a patient.

A Qi froze, growing even more displeased.

Bai Chaosi shot him a cold glance, the warning in his eyes unmistakable.

He immediately fell silent and lowered his head.

Just then, Shen Yue lifted Jue Ying’s dress and saw a small tear in the shorts she wore underneath.

Her eyes narrowed. Ignoring A Qi, she said,

"Turn around."

Bai Chaosi, A Cheng, and A Qi immediately turned their backs.

Shen Yue pulled down Jue Ying’s shorts and saw a deep scratch on her buttock. The skin was broken, and the wound was already turning black.

Shen Yue’s pupils contracted. ’Just as I thought.’

At that moment, the woman lying on the bed, her backside exposed, slowly opened her eyes.

In her daze, she felt incredibly uncomfortable, burning with an unbearable heat.

She turned her head and saw someone sitting by the bed, but her mind was so muddled she couldn’t make out their features.

Shen Yue’s hand was currently examining the wound on her buttock.

The cool touch of those fingertips against her skin was incredibly soothing.

It seemed that being close to this person could relieve the fever raging through her body.

’I want more.’

’I want more relief.’

Then, without clearly seeing who was beside her, she pounced.

Shen Yue had just started to pull Jue Ying’s shorts back up when, unexpectedly, the woman on the bed shot up and yanked her into an embrace.

Jue Ying held her tight, pushed her down onto the bed, and leaned in for a kiss.

Shen Yue’s eyes widened in disbelief.

"Hey, what are you doing?!"

But Jue Ying didn’t seem to hear. Her face grew larger and larger in Shen Yue’s vision, about to press against hers.

Shen Yue shot out a hand, forcefully pushing against the woman’s chin.

"Wake up! I’m a woman!"

The commotion made Bai Chaosi and the other two men turn around.

They were greeted by the sight of Jue Ying on top of Shen Yue, about to assault her.

The three men’s jaws nearly hit the floor.

Seeing the three men frozen in a daze, Shen Yue yelled,

"What are you staring at? Get over here and help!"

That snapped the three of them out of it.

"Oh!"

A Cheng and A Qi rushed forward to pull Jue Ying off.

"Miss Jue Ying, let go of Miss Shen Yue!"

"Miss Jue Ying, what’s wrong with you? Wake up!"

But Jue Ying felt that only by being close to Shen Yue could she find relief.

So, no matter how the two men pulled at her, she refused to let go of the person in her arms.

In the struggle, she even tore open Shen Yue’s collar, instantly revealing a flash of her pale shoulder.

Shen Yue’s eyes flew open as she saw the woman lean down to kiss her neck.

A chill ran down her spine!

’No way! Has this woman lost her mind? There are three men right here she could pounce on, so why is she only going after me?!’

Just as Jue Ying’s lips were about to touch her neck...

Bai Chaosi struck with a chop to the neck. Jue Ying’s eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

At that moment, Huang Ziyue, Mu Silin, and the others heard the commotion and burst into the room.

"Shen Yue, what’s wrong?!"

Bai Chaosi’s eyes and hands were quick; he instantly pulled Shen Yue’s collar closed.

When the group rushed to the bedside, they saw her with disheveled hair, panting for breath, a look of terror on her face.

She was clearly shaken.

Huang Ziyue shot a glance at Bai Chaosi and asked with narrowed eyes,

"What happened?"

Beside them, A Qi and A Cheng kept their heads down, not daring to make a sound.

Shen Yue took a moment to compose herself, then hopped off the bed.

"It’s nothing. She’s been poisoned. It’s a heat toxin, just like I had. She’ll pounce on anyone she sees."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

’A heat toxin?’

’What kind of heat toxin?’

Mu Silin was the first to react.

"The same as you? Are you talking about the time in the Mist Cave, when you were poisoned by a Mutated Lizardman?"

Bai Chaosi’s gaze darkened as well.

Shen Yue nodded. "That’s right."

Huang Ziyue’s face darkened. ’Shen Yue was poisoned by a Mutated Lizard’s heat toxin in the Mist Cave?’

The poison of a Mutated Lizardman stimulates one’s most primitive desires.

If not cured in time, it is fatal.

’So... who cured Shen Yue’s poison?’

At this thought, his dark red eyes instantly filled with a chilling light as he looked toward Bai Chaosi.

He remembered that day in the great underground hall, Gu Fangqi had asked Bai Chaosi what happened in the Mist Cave and how they had escaped.

But Bai Chaosi had refused to say a word. ’Could it be... that Bai Chaosi was the one who cured Shen Yue’s poison?’

A sharp pain lanced through his heart.

Gu Fangqi had the same thought, and he too narrowed his eyes at Bai Chaosi.

Meanwhile, Lan Cangyue and Ye Lüqi’s gazes shifted between Mu Silin and Bai Chaosi.

’I can’t believe Shen Yue was poisoned by a Mutated Lizard after she fell into that chasm.’

’But at the time, only Mu Silin and Bai Chaosi had jumped down with her.’

’So one of them must have been the one to cure her.’

And so, in that instant, a strange, unspoken tension passed between the men.

Shen Yue continued,

"She was scratched by a Lizardman. But Lizardmen originally live in the underground abyss. The fact that one has appeared on the surface means they’ve escaped from below."

The others understood this implication, of course.

’If the Lizardmen could escape, it’s highly likely that the man in black escaped as well.’

’Maybe the man in black was the one who released them.’

Mu Silin immediately turned.

"I’ll go investigate at once!"

Ye Lüqi and Lan Cangyue also prepared to take action.

"There’s no need," Shen Yue said.

The three men stopped in their tracks.

Shen Yue looked at Jue Ying, who was lying on the bed.

"All of you, go wait outside. I’ll cure her poison first. After I’m done, I have something to tell you."

The men’s eyes widened.

Ye Lüqi asked, "Cure her? How are you going to do that?"

Lan Cangyue added, "Right. You’re a female, how can you cure her?"

Shen Yue shot them a look.

"What is going through your heads? I’m going to cure her with my medical skills, not with my body!"

Then, her tone shifted.

"Or are you saying that since I, a female, can’t cure her, you, as males, would like to volunteer? Is that what you mean?"

Ye Lüqi and the others were so frightened they started waving their hands frantically.

"No, absolutely not!"

"We would never think of such a thing!"

"Right, that’s not what we meant."

Listening to them, Shen Yue raised an eyebrow.

"Fine, then. Go wait outside."

"Once I’ve cured her, we’re leaving this place."

’We can’t stay here any longer.’

Lan Cangyue asked,

"Where will we go?"

Shen Yue recalled the fragmented images from her dream last night. That place was clearly the Barbaric City from her memories.

Although the memory was hazy, she was certain the original owner of this body had hidden secrets in Barbaric City as well.

She said, "Barbaric City!"
