Chapter 299: Chapter 297: Also Their Faith and Heart’s Desire

All their previous reluctance and complaints instantly transformed into fervent devotion and trust.

Shen Yue looked down at the crowd cheering and raising their arms, at their fervent gazes...

And at their unified determination to change for a better life... she couldn’t help but be deeply moved.

At that moment, for the first time, a profound and heavy sense of mission settled in her heart for this Beast World!

Perhaps she had never truly felt a part of them before. But now, she knew she was one with this world!

These people in her eyes were living, breathing souls—people of flesh and blood!

Standing beside her, Huang Ziyue, Mu Silin, and the others personally witnessed the power of the crowd’s unified cheers, a testament to their unbreakable resolve.

They were all deeply moved.

They all spontaneously turned their gazes to Shen Yue.

At this moment, she was the hope and faith of an entire city!

And she was their faith, too—the one their hearts belonged to!

Without her, they might never have realized that being called a king, that sitting on the highest throne, didn’t mean they were superior.

Instead, it meant they had to be the first to step forward when their people needed them. It meant shouldering the responsibility to protect and do their utmost for everyone who called them ’king,’ and to shield them from all harm!

And Shen Yue, with her own seemingly frail body, had done just that—for her children, for them, and for her people!

At that moment, the six little cubs also felt something they had never felt before.

This scene of the cheering crowd would be forever etched in their minds—a belief that would drive them forward for the rest of their long lives.

The little ones simultaneously hugged Shen Yue’s legs. They looked up at her with their small faces full of pride.

"Female mother, you’re the most amazing female mother!"

"Liu Bao feels so happy to have such a wonderful, amazing female mother!"

"Dabao will always remember this scene, and always remember how female mother looked today!"

In their eyes, Shen Yue was a towering, incredible figure.

She was a goddess in everyone’s hearts, and a goddess in theirs, too!

Huang Ziyue gazed at Shen Yue’s profile, his eyes overflowing with adoration and love.

Hearing the little cubs’ words, Mu Silin and Bai Chaosi felt even more fortunate and proud.

’What had they ever done to deserve this? To be chosen by Shen Yue, to be favored by her, to have such a woman...’

She was so incredible that she seemed beyond their reach, making them feel inadequate in comparison.

At that moment, the men all made a silent vow: to be worthy of her, they would work twice as hard and do everything they were meant to do!

The people of Barbaric City sprang into action.

Everyone, regardless of age or gender, threw themselves into the effort of rebuilding their homes.

Stonecutters chiseled stone, workers hauled lumber, and others mixed mud, each task proceeding in an orderly fashion.

Meanwhile, another group began tilling the fields. Even females without any spiritual power joined in.

In just three short days, they had already cleared and tilled more than half of the fertilized land.

Shen Yue brought her children and worked alongside the people, tilling the soil.

Meanwhile, Mu Silin, Bai Chaosi, and the others continued to personally help rebuild homes within the city.

The entirety of Barbaric City was a hive of activity, yet every face was alight with happiness and hope.

「As for Yun Lie Ting, he didn’t wake up until two days later.」

Several of his subordinates, who had been keeping a vigil by his bed, saw him open his eyes, their faces alight with excitement and surprise.

"Your Majesty, you’re awake!"

"This is wonderful! We were afraid you would never wake up!"

Their eyes reddened with joyous relief!

God only knows how they had endured the past two days, their hearts filled with terror.

Yun Lie Ting sat up, his head throbbing as if it would split apart.

"What happened to me?"

A subordinate beside him answered cautiously.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? You were beaten so severely by that woman that you were knocked unconscious. You nearly died!"

"That’s right, Your Majesty. You’ve been asleep for two days and two nights!"

At these words, Yun Lie Ting’s gaze darkened as his memories flooded back.

’That’s right. That damned woman knocked me out!’

’I remember... before I passed out from the pain, I was kneeling before her, apologizing...’

His handsome face instantly darkened, and his expression grew so thunderous it looked like ink could drip from his eyes!

He quickly looked down at his body, expecting to see it covered in horrific wounds...

But he was completely unscathed. The devastating whip marks had all vanished!

’But I distinctly remember being beaten until I was covered in blood.’

’My entire body was covered in gruesome wounds...’

’So how could every last wound be gone?’

He frowned.

"What happened to my injuries?"

The subordinates beside him exchanged glances.

None dared to speak.

Yun Lie Ting sensed their hesitation, and his eyes grew cold.

"Speak!"

They answered cautiously.

"It... it was that woman."

"That’s right, Your Majesty. Your injuries were too severe. Yesterday, you even stopped breathing."

"We... we had no other choice, so we went to find that woman..."

"Then, that woman tossed us a small vial of water and told us to give it to you..."

"We never expected it, but after just two drops of that water, Your Majesty made a full recovery!"

Yun Lie Ting’s face grew so dark it seemed it would crack!

"Who told you to go to her?! You think she’d be so kind? She’d be overjoyed if I died!"

The subordinates flinched, shrinking back in fear.

"Your Majesty, we didn’t trust her at first either, but as soon as we dripped the water into your mouth, your wounds began to heal right before our very eyes..."

Yun Lie Ting slammed his palm into the stone bed.

The hard stone instantly fractured with a web of fine cracks. A malevolent aura practically billowed from him.

"Kindness? This is humiliation! She did this so I would owe her my life! It’s a fate worse than death!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The frigid aura around him intensified, and his subordinates scrambled back, not even daring to breathe.

But after striking the bed, he froze. He realized his spiritual power had returned.

He raised his hand in disbelief. He channeled his power, and a dense spiritual power flowed from his palm!

Seeing his surging spiritual power, the subordinates exclaimed in excitement:

"Your Majesty, your spiritual power..."

"Your spiritual power is restored!"

Their faces filled with joy, they immediately knelt and declared in unison:

"Congratulations on recovering your spiritual power, Your Majesty!"

Yun Lie Ting’s eyes widened in disbelief.

’I was injured a while ago, and my spiritual power was severely damaged...’

’When I went to snatch Wubao the other day, I couldn’t even maintain my human form. It was only when I faced that woman that I had to force my spiritual power to transform!’

’But she still beat me senseless. I even had to kneel and apologize in public. It should have been the ultimate humiliation. I never thought... that a beating like that would actually restore my spiritual power!!’

’And what’s more, the power within my body feels like it’s on the verge of a breakthrough!’

’But I remember it clearly. When she was whipping me, my spiritual power was obviously fading. She even shattered my spiritual power core!’

’How could a shattered spiritual power core just repair itself after I slept for a bit? And restore all my spiritual power on top of that?’

This is something even an SSS+ Healing Doctor couldn’t do!

’Just what in the world is going on here?’

’Could it... could it really be those two drops of water that woman gave me??’
