Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off

Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Miss Shen Yue Can Heal? Is She a Healing System Doctor?

When the ministers heard this, they exchanged glances in astonishment.

”A dream from a spiritual bond?”

”But... in our Golden Lion Royal Family, only biological fathers and sons can share dreams through a spiritual bond!”

”Your Majesty, don’t tell me you have a Little Prince?”

”Where is the Little Prince? How is this possible? When did this happen?”

”Your Majesty, is this true?”

Ye Lüqi was in high spirits.

”How could this be fake?”

With that, he uncrossed his legs and stood up.

”I just didn’t see his female mother’s face in the dream, but she must be a great beauty. It seems what I encountered last time in Beastification City was real, not some hallucination.”

That day in Beastification City, his bestial lust had reached an uncontrollable point. The sweet fragrance emanating from that female had overwhelmed his senses.

He found it irresistible.

Afterward, when he returned to Golden West Mountain, he always felt that it hadn’t been a dream. It felt far too real. After all, his own King’s Ring had gone missing in that Isolation Room.

He raised a hand. ”Relay my orders! I, Ye Lüqi, have a Female Master! She is the greatest beauty in the entire Beast World! I will go personally to welcome her back to the mountain, and bring the Little Prince back with her. Have the Ritual Hall begin preparations. I will hold a grand wedding for my Female Master!”

The ministers below were so excited they nearly jumped for joy.

’This is wonderful!’

’The Golden Lion Royal Family finally has a joyous occasion!’

’Their King has a Female Master, and a Little Prince too.’

「Meanwhile」

Shen Yue used three medium-sized crucian carp to make a fresh fish soup. The savory aroma wafted for kilometers.

Then, she roasted the rabbit Si Muye had brought back from his hunt.

She also fried a few eggs on a stone slab.

She sprinkled the rabbit meat and eggs with scallions and green peppercorns picked from the Spiritual Spring, along with salt, pepper, and various other seasonings.

A couple of days ago, Shen Yue and Si Muye had found some wisteria leaves and a few green peppercorn trees on the mountain. Si Muye didn’t recognize them, but Shen Yue’s eyes had lit up.

’Finding a green peppercorn tree in this Beast World is truly a rare treat.’

She immediately had Si Muye pick some and bring them back. She dried them in the sun, then ground them into powder. She tossed the rest into the Spiritual Spring, where a tree laden with green peppercorns instantly sprouted.

Back then, she had also found some other rare vegetables and put them into the Spiritual Spring as well. That way, she would have an endless supply.

Si Muye obediently went outside and cut down a few bamboo stalks. Following Shen Yue’s instructions, he fashioned several pairs of chopsticks and wove a few baskets using the method she had taught him.

Looking at the finished basket in his hands, Si Muye sat at the entrance of the cave, completely amazed.

”A Yue, I can’t believe bamboo can be made into tools like this. You’re incredible!”

Shen Yue flipped the eggs on the stone slab, glancing at the bamboo basket in his hands. The weave wasn’t perfectly smooth, but it was more than sturdy enough to carry things.

Her voice drifted over. ”Every part of the bamboo is a treasure. The young sprouts, called bamboo shoots, are a delicacy. You can stir-fry them, boil them, stew them, or dry them to preserve them.”

Si Muye found this fascinating. He looked at the bamboo shoots in the basket beside him, the very ones Shen Yue had asked him to dig up the day before.

”You’re talking about this?”

Shen Yue nodded. ”That’s right, this is it.”

Si Muye picked one up and peeled away the outer layer, feeling how tender and moist it was inside.

”There are so many ways to eat this? They used to be all over the mountain, but no one ever paid them any attention.”

Shen Yue said, ”Besides meat, there are many other vegetables and fruits in this world you can eat. If you only eat meat, you’ll develop high cholesterol and high uric acid. For example, your leg problem was caused by years and years of eating high-cholesterol foods!”

Si Muye didn’t quite understand.

’What were high cholesterol and high uric acid?’

However, he now believed every word Shen Yue said without question.

”It’s all thanks to you that my leg is healed. I’ll be sure to watch what I eat from now on.”

Hiding in the shadows, Mu Silin had long been captivated by the fragrant aromas wafting from the cave, his mouth watering nonstop.

Now, hearing what Shen Yue said, he couldn’t help but perk up his ears.

’She calls those small, newly sprouted bamboo ”bamboo shoots”? And they can be eaten?’

’This was the first time he’d ever heard of such a thing.’

’And Shen Yue knows how to treat illnesses?’

’If he wasn’t mistaken, over a decade ago, that Si Muye’s name had been famous throughout the K Empire Royal City. Then, after some kind of accident, his body was damaged, his spiritual power declined, and he was even captured alive by a Desert Sand Beast in battle. He had vanished without a trace ever since.’

’Everyone in the Royal City rumored that he had died in the desert. To think that the former number one warrior of the Royal City, the Great Knight, would reappear after all this time, living with Shen Yue.’

’What’s more, he had sensed that Si Muye’s spiritual power had recovered to S Class. Did that mean his damaged body had healed?’

’The damaged part... could it be the leg problem he just mentioned? Did Shen Yue heal him?’

His subordinate beside him had the same thought.

”General, could Miss Shen Yue know medicine? Is she a Healing System Doctor?”

Mu Silin shook his head, dismissing his own guess.

”She’s a female with no spiritual power. How could she possibly have Healing Spiritual Power!”

Hearing this, the subordinate agreed.

”That’s true. Restoring someone with a damaged body and diminished spiritual power back to S Class Spiritual Power... not even an S Class Healing System Doctor could do that. It would take an SSS level physician!”

’But an SSS level physician has never once appeared on the entire Beast World Continent. They exist only in legends. How could one possibly be real?’

’But if not, how did Si Muye’s body and spiritual power recover? Could he have encountered an SSS level physician during all those years he was missing?’

When Mu Silin and his subordinate considered this possibility, they were both shaken.

’If that were true, the appearance of an SSS level physician would shock the entire Beast World. It would cause an uproar, a mad scramble across the lands.’

Inside the cave, Shen Yue continued.

”When bamboo shoots grow into mature stalks, the hollow tubes can be used as water pipes or to make delicious bamboo-tube rice. They can also be made into household utensils or used to build bamboo houses. The branches can be made into brooms, and the outer skin can be woven into all sorts of things, like baskets, fences, rakes, tongs, and so on. The leaves are even a medicinal herb used to clear heat and detoxify, and you can also use them to make delicious zongzi. There are so, so many uses. I’ll teach you everything slowly as we need them in the future!”

’One bamboo plant can be made into so many things?’

Si Muye was dumbfounded.

’He had never heard of any of this.’

Mu Silin subconsciously exchanged a look with his subordinate. ’Bamboo could be that useful?’

Both of them were suspicious of Shen Yue’s words.

But looking at the baskets Si Muye had woven from bamboo, they had to admit they looked quite good.

’But how could this ugly female possibly know all this?’

The mention of bamboo houses reminded Shen Yue of something she’d been thinking about. ’Living in a cave isn’t a long-term solution. It’s too dark, and the air is stagnant.’

’I should build a proper house. And on this Wilderness Mountain, there’s no shortage of bamboo.’

Once Dabao woke up, she would talk to Si Muye about building a house.

At that moment—

”Female Mother...”

Just as she was thinking this, Dabao’s voice came from the straw mat. Overjoyed, Shen Yue immediately looked over.

”Dabao, you’re awake!”

The little fellow had been asleep for nearly three days. He was finally awake.

As she walked over, the Little Golden Lion stretched out his small limbs.

”Female Mother, Dabao had such a nice sleep, and I had a dream, too.”

”Dabao wants a hug from Female Mother!”

Shen Yue didn’t ask what he had dreamed about. She immediately crouched down.

”Dabao, don’t move. Let Female Mother check your body first and see if your bones have healed properly!”
