Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off

Chapter 159: Chapter 157: The Master You’re Talking About, It’s Him?

He understood, though.

’If Shen Yue and Si Muye were to meet again, Mu Silin, the main culprit, would be beside himself with anxiety.’

’He’d not only have to worry about Shen Yue discovering the truth of why Si Muye left...’

’...but he’d also have to worry about their old feelings for each other rekindling!’

’Of course, that was his worry, too.’

The warrior’s hope surged as he listened to the female.

"Who are you talking about? Who cured you of the poison?"

’If there really is someone like that, then Zong You and the Third Young Master can be saved!’

The gray wolf female immediately looked past Huang Ziyue and the others, her gaze falling on the small, slender figure behind them.

"It’s our benefactor! She’s the one who saved all of us!"

"You all, move aside! Let our benefactor step forward!"

Hearing this, Mu Silin, Huang Ziyue, and Ye Lüqi shot the female a hostile glare.

’This female is so meddlesome.’

Though they were reluctant, the three could only brace themselves and slowly shift their bodies, revealing the person they had hidden behind them.

Instantly, the warriors of the Ancient Bear Family saw the figure that had been concealed behind them.

All of them were stunned for a moment.

’How had they not noticed before? There was someone completely wrapped up standing behind these tall men.’

Although they couldn’t see the person’s face, her small and slender frame was enough to tell them she was a female.

’But how could a female possibly know medicine and be able to detoxify poison?’

For a moment, they doubted whether the gray wolf female was telling the truth.

Meanwhile, Gu Fangqi and Lan Cangyue, who were standing to the side, had already noticed that something was off with Mu Silin, Ye Lüqi, and Huang Ziyue.

’It felt like they were intentionally or unintentionally trying to stop Shen Yue from treating the members of the Ancient Bear Family.’

’It was as if they didn’t want Shen Yue to appear before this group at all.’

The gray wolf female looked at Shen Yue and immediately spoke up.

"Benefactor, please save them, too. They were the ones who saved me and my child when they passed through our village on their way up the mountain."

"They’re good people, not bad people. Benefactor, please save them!"

Shen Yue’s star-like eyes remained fixed on the male on the warrior’s back, studying him intently.

The warriors looked at her, unable to stop themselves from asking:

"Miss, can you truly cure this hot poison?"

The gray wolf female answered before Shen Yue could.

"Of course our benefactor can! All of us Beastmen escaped from Wilderness Mountain, and she was the one who saved us!"

The Beastmen behind her heard this and nodded in agreement.

"That’s right! Our benefactor’s medical skills are incredible!"

"She’s the one who cured the hot poison in all of us!"

"Our benefactor also saved my child! My child was scratched by that monster, too!"

"Yes, our benefactor saved my Beast Husband, too! That monster bit his leg off, but she still managed to save him!"

The warriors listened, their eyes wide with astonishment.

The way they looked at Shen Yue completely changed.

’So this female saved all of them?’

They hadn’t expected this thin, weak female with no spiritual power to be so skilled.

’She knows medicine?’

’She can neutralize poison?’

They had never heard of a female possessing such skills.

The warriors hurriedly clasped their fists in a respectful gesture toward Shen Yue and said politely:

"We never imagined you possessed such abilities, Miss. That being the case, we implore you to save our master! To be perfectly honest, our master was also injured by that monster, and his life is now hanging by a thread!"

"If you can save our master’s life, Miss, we will surely repay you a hundredfold in the future!"

"Yes, please save our master’s life, Miss! We will engrave this kindness in our hearts and repay you with all we have!"

Shen Yue listened, her gaze still fixed on the unconscious male slung over the warrior’s shoulder.

"The master you’re talking about... is him?"

The warrior replied:

"That’s right. Our master originally went to Wilderness Mountain to find someone, but he was wounded by that monster. We were just about to head to Barbaric City to seek a healer."

"But our master has been poisoned for three days. For these past three days, he’s relied solely on his spiritual power to suppress the toxin in his body, barely holding on until now."

"We beg you, Miss, please save our master!"

The warriors spoke with desperation, their eyes filled with sincerity.

Shen Yue’s gaze remained on the man they called their master, as if she were assessing something.

Seeing this, Mu Silin hurriedly said to Shen Yue:

"If you don’t want to save him, that’s fine. No one would dare force you!"

Ye Lüqi chimed in, "That’s right. You’ve already saved so many people, and you don’t owe them anything. We have to keep traveling today, so why don’t you go rest for a bit?"

Lan Cangyue and Gu Fangqi listened as the two men suddenly stepped forward to interfere, offering such a childish and clumsy excuse.

’It only confirmed their suspicions that something was very wrong with Mu Silin and Ye Lüqi.’

After hearing this, the members of the Ancient Bear Family looked at Ye Lüqi and Mu Silin.

They felt awkward.

They could tell that the female’s Beast Husbands clearly didn’t want her to save them.

They were also very hostile toward them.

Although they couldn’t understand the source of this hostility.

But they were strangers, after all, and didn’t know each other.

Forcing someone to help was indeed presumptuous and an imposition.

But they didn’t know if the Third Young Master could even last until they reached Barbaric City.

If the Third Young Master succumbed to the poison and died before they reached Barbaric City... that was a gamble they couldn’t afford to take.

Besides, even if they did make it to Barbaric City, there was no guarantee they could immediately find the person the Third Young Master was looking for, nor did they know if that person could even cure the poison.

But now, since so many Beastmen claimed this female had saved them, it meant she might genuinely be able to cure the poison.

So, the warriors once again steeled themselves and spoke to Shen Yue:

"Miss, we guarantee that if you save our master’s life, we will do everything in our power to give you whatever reward you ask for."

"Also, once you’ve saved our master and he has awakened, we will not linger for a single moment. We won’t disturb any of you."

’They had already figured it out. The female’s Beast Husbands seemed to deeply resent them having any contact with her.’

’They knew it was a male’s possessiveness at work.’

That was why they had tactfully offered this assurance.

But to their surprise, after hearing them out, Shen Yue slowly uttered a single sentence:

"It’s fine. You can stay."

The warriors: "???"

’We can stay?’

Mu Silin and Ye Lüqi: "..."

’It’s over.’

’It was obvious. Shen Yue had recognized that bear.’

Before anyone could react, Shen Yue announced:

"Bring him over!"

With that, she turned and walked toward her tent.

The warriors exchanged a dumbfounded look, not understanding what the female had meant by her last words.

Then, they quickly readjusted the man on their backs and hurried after her.

Just then, Bai Chaosi, who had been struggling on the ground for what felt like an eternity, finally managed to climb to his feet and stagger over.

However, before he could even get close, he saw Shen Yue leading the men away.

He stood there, hoping that this time Shen Yue would see him.

Even just a single glance.

Just one would be enough.

But she walked straight past him without a second look.

He was utterly ignored.

His breath caught in his throat, and a film of moisture misted over his eyes.

The breeze she created as she passed by even stirred his fur.

It felt like the wind itself was scraping his heart, making it ache.

He opened his mouth, mustering his courage to call out in a low voice:

"Shen Yue... I..."

"Put him here!"

Shen Yue cut him off, speaking to the men who had followed her.

Bai Chaosi’s words died in his throat.

Only then did he see three unfamiliar males walking past him, one of them carrying an unconscious man on his back.

One of them nearly stepped on his tail.

He instantly yanked his tail back, but the movement pulled at his injuries, and he collapsed back onto the ground.

The pain was so intense he broke out in a cold sweat, nearly passing out.

At that moment, Mu Silin, Huang Ziyue, and the others also walked over.

As they passed, they gave him a cursory glance before walking away indifferently.

But he instinctively sensed that something was off about the expressions on Mu Silin and the others’ faces.

Perceptive as he was, he immediately understood that something must have happened.

So, bracing his trembling, pain-wracked body, he limped on one leg and slowly made his way toward the tent.
