Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off

Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Can the Person You Mentioned Really Save My Daughter?

Compared to the others, Er Bao was already a bit timid. If he started to lose confidence in himself, it could affect him for the rest of his life.

Hearing Shen Yue’s gentle and encouraging words, the several large men standing nearby felt waves of warmth wash over their hearts.

Even their gazes toward Shen Yue were filled with an unconcealable fascination and adoration.

It was truly hard not to be captivated by this woman.

Her charm didn’t just come from her beauty.

It came from the energy she radiated from within, an energy that could infect and permeate everyone’s heart.

It was her innate ability to love, her perpetually stable emotions, her unique way of handling things, and her determination to offer her love freely.

Such a small person, yet she radiated such immense energy.

It was as if she could just stand there, doing nothing, and involuntarily give strength to others, allowing even those trapped in ice to feel warmth in their hearts and turn toward the sun to live.

Listening, Mu Silin’s heart was touched as he looked at Shen Yue holding his son.

He had to admit, the patience, guidance, and encouragement Shen Yue gave his son were things he, as a Father, could never provide.

He was happy for his son, for having such a female mother.

At the same time, he was happy for himself, happy that he had met such a wonderful person as Shen Yue. He was thankful that it was all still possible, that it wasn’t too late.

Just then, upon hearing Shen Yue’s words, Er Bao seemed to have his confidence reignited.

”I want female mother to feed me! I want female mother to hug me!”

Shen Yue stroked his head dotingly.

”Then let’s have our Er Bao stop crying, okay? Female mother will wait with you, looking forward to the day you transform. I believe our Er Bao can definitely do it.”

”So for now, we need to eat until we’re full and get all our nutrients. Maybe in a few days, our Er Bao will, with a POOF, suddenly transform into a chubby little baby even bigger than his younger brother and sister.”

Upon hearing this, Er Bao said,

”Mhm, Er Bao can definitely do it! Er Bao will eat all his food!”

The meal was a happy and heartwarming affair.

Dabao would occasionally pick up pieces of meat to feed Er Bao, and Little Qi thoughtfully placed some on his plate as well. Seeing the little ones care for each other filled the onlookers’ hearts with an overwhelming sense of bliss.

The five large men stood there like Guardian Gods, feeling moved while wiping the drool from their mouths.

But in contrast to the warmth on Wilderness Mountain, Barbaric City was filled with a terrifying, hostile aura.

In the City Lord Mansion, Moli Li was barely breathing, lying on the bed like a living corpse.

It had even reached the point where she was breathing out more than she was breathing in.

The City Lord, Gremu, stood before the sickbed, his tall and sturdy frame ramrod straight. His eyes were sinister, his aura ice-cold, and his aquiline nose made him look all the more fierce and tyrannical.

He had already summoned the best Healing Doctor in all of Barbaric City, but they still couldn’t save his daughter.

He grabbed the doctor by the throat.

”Why isn’t she awake yet, you quack!”

The doctor clawed at his hand, struggling as he spoke.

”Lord Grey, please forgive me! My spiritual power is low, I am truly powerless to help!”

Gremu flung the doctor from his grasp.

”Get out!!”

The doctor scrambled on the floor, so frightened that he immediately transformed into a seabird and flew away.

Just then, a guard’s voice came from outside the door.

”City Lord, the men who assaulted Miss Lili have all been beheaded. The few who ran away have been captured and executed. The onlookers have all been silenced!”

Gremu responded, ”Understood. Has anyone taken the notice for the doctor’s bounty posted at the city gate?”

The guard outside replied, ”Not yet. However, a person claiming to be from the Ancient Bear Family says they wish to see you. They claim they can help!”

Gremu’s eyes narrowed the moment he heard this.

’The Ancient Bear Family?’

’The K Empire’s foremost family of warriors?’

Gremu glanced at Moli Li on the bed, then turned and walked out.

Although Si Muye had left Wilderness Mountain without saying goodbye, for several days now, not a single one had passed where he didn’t think of Shen Yue.

The entire journey, he regretted not going back to at least say a word of farewell to Shen Yue.

’I wonder if she misses me, is worried about me, or if she’s sad.’

He had even considered turning back to take her and the children with him.

But this return to the Royal City was a matter of life and death, even for him. He was afraid that if he brought her back, he wouldn’t be able to protect her and would only drag her into danger because of him.

On top of that, just as he was leaving, someone from the Golden Lion Royal Family had suddenly appeared and demanded the blueprints for the bamboo house from him.

He couldn’t help but connect this to Dabao’s parentage. ’Could Dabao be related to the Golden Lion Royal Family?’

’Could the person secretly protecting A Yue be from the Golden Lion Clan?’

If there really was someone protecting A Yue in secret, she would be safer than if he took her back to the Royal City.

Thinking of this, Si Muye glanced at Su Manman beside him. It was Manman who had suddenly appeared that day with her trusted followers, telling him that his Father and the clan leader in the Royal City were critically ill and that he must return at once.

That was why, in his haste, he had left with Su Manman without even saying goodbye to A Yue.

But after several days on the road, he couldn’t help but feel that Manman’s arrival had been a little too timely. How did they know he was on Wilderness Mountain?

He had practically watched Manman grow up. Although the girl wasn’t from the Ancient Bear Family by blood, she had been raised within it since childhood.

She had loved to follow him around like a shadow since she was little. He hadn’t seen her in years, and now she had grown into a young woman.

He couldn’t help but ask, ”Manman, how did the clan find out I was on Wilderness Mountain?”

A hint of girlish shyness appeared on Su Manman’s elegant and beautiful face.

”A good while ago in the Royal City, a rumor suddenly started spreading that you’d been sighted on Wilderness Mountain. It said the former number one warrior was about to return. When the Ancient Bear Family heard the news, they didn’t know if it was true, but they sent me with some men to find you anyway. I never thought you’d actually be here... and that you’d almost be assassinated by the eldest young master.”

”A ye, I’m so glad you’re okay. I never expected the eldest young master to move so quickly and get here before I did. I was nearly scared to death.”

Si Muye glanced behind him at Helian, who was bound hand and foot by the warriors Su Manman had brought.

”When we return to the Royal City, I will report this matter to the clan leader. He will receive his punishment.”

Su Manman nodded. ”Yes, and I will testify as well.”

”A ye, you have no idea... I thought I would never see you again. All these years, everyone said you were dead, but I never believed it. I refused to believe my A ye could be dead. And now... I’ve finally found you. You’re really back!”

As Su Manman spoke, her eyes began to turn red.

Si Muye looked at her.

”Yes, and it’s all thanks to a benefactor I met. They healed my body and restored my spiritual power. Otherwise, I would have been as good as dead.”

Hearing this, Su Manman asked with curiosity,

”Who was it? Did you meet an S Class Healing Doctor?”

An image of Shen Yue’s face surfaced in Si Muye’s mind, and a slow smile spread across his handsome, resolute face.

”She’s not a doctor. But she’s more incredible than any doctor!”

Su Manman listened, staring intently at the change in his expression. Her heart sank.

A woman’s intuition told her that the person A ye was speaking of was not a man.

’But if it’s not a man, how could they have the spiritual power to heal people?’

Thinking this, her hand hanging at her side tightened. ’Could it be... that A ye has met a female he’s fallen for?’

’Who is it?’

Her gaze unconsciously drifted to the captive Helian behind them.

As if on cue, Helian looked up, appearing to have overheard their conversation.

A wicked smile played on his lips as he raised an eyebrow at Su Manman.

By the time Gremu came down to the main hall, Si Muye had already been waiting for quite some time.

The two of them entered a room.

After a while.

Gremu listened to what he had to say, his eyes narrowing.

”This person you speak of... can she really save my daughter?”
