Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off

Chapter 269: Chapter 267: Irreplaceable and One of a Kind

’To think that this bell was in Xiao Ya’s hand when she hatched from her shell?’

’This means that the Purple Rabbit who escaped the Divine Hall had always worn this bell!!’

’After an Evil Beast broke free from the very bell that bound it, instead of throwing it away immediately, it held onto it tightly, even as it was born into a new life?’

...

Shen Yue, Huang Ziyue, and Bai Chaosi returned to their previous courtyard.

They planned to stay for one night before rushing back to Barbaric City.

But as soon as they returned to the courtyard, they saw that the Dragon Guards and the men from the Mystic Mechanism Building—the ones whose spiritual power had been devoured by the Devouring God Flower—were all awake and buzzing with excitement.

”I can’t believe we’re still alive!”

”To think the legendary Doomsday Flower actually exists!”

”Yeah, that was the Devouring God Flower, the Doomsday Flower! No one survives after being devoured by it!”

”Seriously, the moment I opened my eyes, I thought I was dreaming!”

”Was it really Miss Shen Yue who saved us??”

Hearing this, the three Dragon Guards who had been standing watch in the courtyard puffed up with pride.

”Of course it’s true! When Miss Shen Yue was treating you yesterday, the three of us were standing right here watching! We even helped!”

”That’s right! Miss Shen Yue spent a full half-day saving you. She was so exhausted she didn’t even have a single sip of water!”

”At the time, none of us believed she could actually bring you back, but who would have thought? Miss Shen Yue is truly a divine being! You all really woke up!”

Meanwhile, the men from the Mystic Mechanism Building stretched their limbs and said proudly:

”You bet! Our Master is the most amazing person in the entire Beast World! She’s completely unique. You won’t find a second person in this world as incredible as our Master!”

”That’s right! Our Master can do anything, understands everything! She’s omniscient and omnipotent!!”

Listening to her own people hyping her up like this, Shen Yue’s mouth twitched.

Behind her, expressions of agreement and admiration appeared on Huang Ziyue’s and Bai Chaosi’s faces.

Shen Yue’s existence was, without a doubt, a miracle.

To them, she was irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind.

She was so dazzling and intelligent. More importantly, her inner resilience and strength were like a wellspring of hope and motivation for others.

Shen Yue listened as the men inside continued to praise her, practically deifying her. Her face began to feel hot.

She cleared her throat and walked in.

Everyone immediately looked over.

Seeing it was her, the men from the Mystic Mechanism Building instantly fell silent before their voices filled with excitement.

”Master!”

The Dragon Guards, on the other hand, dropped to their knees and spoke in unison:

”Miss Shen Yue, thank you for saving our lives!”

Their deafening voices were resounding and powerful, laced with irrepressible excitement and gratitude.

Watching their sturdy, tall frames kneeling rigidly on the ground, their backs bent toward her—something the Flood Dragon Clan would never easily do—Shen Yue was shocked.

She knew a little about the Flood Dragon Clan.

This ancient and noble Beast Clan was known for being cold and ruthless, never bowing or scraping to anyone. Even before their king, they rarely knelt on two knees; it was usually just one.

But now, this proud and mysterious Dragon Guard was kneeling before her on both knees.

This was their highest form of etiquette and respect.

Of course, Huang Ziyue, who was beside her, understood what this meant.

It was submission.

It was a sign that, from the bottom of their hearts, they regarded Shen Yue with the utmost gratitude, admiration, and reverence.

And that they saw her as their true master.

’He was deeply satisfied and proud.’

’She’s so extraordinary, born with the ability to make everyone submit to her. She deserves to be treated this way, to be cherished, loved, and obeyed by all.’

’His Female Master is even more powerful than the males. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration even if the entire world bowed at her feet!’

As Bai Chaosi watched the Dragon Guard’s actions, a flicker of emotion crossed his eyes.

One, he was happy for Shen Yue. Two, he hadn’t expected Huang Ziyue to actually send the Flood Dragon Clan’s sharpest and most secret unit, the Dragon Guard, to protect her.

The Dragon Guard was the Flood Dragon Clan’s trump card.

Every single member possessed S+ High-level Spiritual Power.

Yet he was willing to mobilize the Dragon Guard to protect Shen Yue, handing his trump card over to her.

A wave of complicated emotions washed over him. ’Perhaps I really haven’t done enough!’

’I can’t compare to this Flood Dragon!’

Shen Yue looked at the men on the ground.

”Get up. From now on, you don’t need to drop to your knees for such a grand ceremony at every turn!”

’After all, they had nearly lost their lives because of me.’

’Saving them was only right.’

’Besides, these men are the Flood Dragon Clan’s most mysterious masters. It would be a huge shame if they were lost here. It would be a great loss for both Huang Ziyue and the Flood Dragon Clan.’

The men on the ground understood her meaning and replied in unison:

”Yes! From now on, we will follow Miss Shen Yue and protect her to the death!!”

Shen Yue was taken aback.

’Follow me? Protect me??’

She immediately looked at Huang Ziyue, questioning him with her eyes.

’What’s going on?’

’Why are they suddenly following and protecting me?’

Huang Ziyue looked at her and didn’t hide anything.

”From now on, this unit of the Dragon Guard is yours.”

Shen Yue: ”Huh?”

Wu Huo, standing by Huang Ziyue’s side, immediately explained:

”Miss Shen Yue, this Dragon Guard unit was specifically ordered by the Great Emperor Master to be transferred from the Royal City last month to protect you!”

Shen Yue was stunned. ’So Huang Ziyue sent this Dragon Guard to protect me?’

’I thought they were his personal retinue for this trip.’

’So they’ve been watching over me for a while now?’

’Since last month, even.’

’Back then, we must have just been preparing to leave Wilderness Mountain...’

’I can’t believe Huang Ziyue had already dispatched the Dragon Guard to protect me back then.’

This man was always like this, arranging everything for her without saying a word.

She looked at Huang Ziyue, her heart suddenly filled to the brim.

The oppressive feeling she’d had back at the City Lord Mansion began to dissipate.

Standing to the side, Bai Chaosi watched the undisguised emotion and happiness on Shen Yue’s face and slowly lowered his head.

The fingertips hidden in his sleeves dug tightly into his palms, and shame piled up layer by layer in his heart.

In this moment, he finally understood where he fell short.

In front of everyone, Shen Yue accepted the Dragon Guard, and with them, she accepted this display of Huang Ziyue’s love.

Only then did she walk into the house.

Bai Chaosi, however, remained standing alone and silent in the courtyard.

A Cheng walked over to stand beside Bai Chaosi. He looked at the two figures who had already gone inside and said:

”Young Master, I think you should explain things properly to Miss Shen Yue.”

”Besides, I don’t think Miss Shen Yue is in a good mood right now. I can feel it. Think about how relaxed and happy she was on Wilderness Mountain. But so much has happened recently. The burden on her shoulders, in my opinion, is no less than yours, Young Master. The man in the black robe, the traps, the assassination attempts, even trying to steal her power... danger is everywhere. So many plots revolve around her, yet she faces them all bravely. She’s never run away or complained, nor has she taken out her fear of the unknown on the people around her! She has always been gentle and good to us!”

She even shouldered a world of responsibility for them, the males!

’In his heart, Miss Shen Yue was no longer just a simple female, or just the Young Master’s Female Master!’

’To him, she was a great person who deserved to be revered, treated well, and protected with all one’s heart!’
