Chapter 88: What If We Delay the Little General’s Treatment, What Then?

Chapter 88: Chapter 88: What If We Delay the Little General’s Treatment, What Then?

In the shadows, Mu Silin’s subordinate was also filled with regret and self-blame.

The day the General had carried Er Bao out of the cave and infused him with spiritual power, he had been right there watching.

If he had known it would cause such great harm to the Little General, leading to damage to his core, he would never have followed the General’s lead and rashly taken him from the cave.

Mu Silin didn’t even dare to look Shen Yue in the eye. His voice was low and hoarse.

"It’s all my fault. I’m the one who harmed Er Bao."

Shen Yue’s eyes were completely red-rimmed.

She didn’t look at Mu Silin. Instead, her nose tingled with the urge to cry as she raised her gaze to meet Huang Ziyue’s.

Her expressive eyes, shimmering with unshed tears, were surprisingly bright.

They held endless heartache for Er Bao and a hopeful expectation for Huang Ziyue.

"So, can Er Bao still transform? Can his spiritual power core be restored?"

’Or is there some other way to restore it?’

’Will my Vitality Water work?’

Huang Ziyue’s heart clenched as he met her gaze.

Seeing how worried and anxious she was, he swallowed, and his voice, unusually gentle, offered comfort.

"Don’t worry. I’ve already reopened his core and activated his Spirit Sea."

At these words, Mu Silin immediately looked at him, his heart that had plummeted into a dark abyss instantly flaring with hope again.

’His core has been reopened, and he has a Spirit Sea again?’

’This means Er Bao will be alright.’

’Er Bao can still be saved.’

With his core unblocked and his Spirit Sea reactivated, it meant Er Bao could now generate his own spiritual power.

He let out a genuine sigh of relief.

But Huang Ziyue wasn’t finished.

"However, the meridians for his spiritual power have been severed. He needs a Healing Doctor of S Class or higher to repair them and stimulate the growth channels for his spiritual power. Only then can he be like any other child."

Instantly, Mu Silin’s heart plunged back into the abyss.

’The growth channels for his spiritual power are severed?’

’And he needs an S Class Healing Doctor to repair them?’

Hearing this, Ye Lüqi also frowned.

"An S Class or higher Healing Doctor? Where are we supposed to find one? I’ve never heard of an S Class Healing Doctor in the entire K Empire!"

Ye Lüqi was basically voicing Mu Silin’s own thoughts.

Healing Doctors were the rarest individuals in the entire Beast World Continent. It was hard enough to find an A level Healing Doctor these days, let alone one of S Class.

They probably couldn’t find one even if they searched the whole Beast World Continent.

Therefore, after hearing this, Bai Chaosi and Lan Cangyue also wore varying expressions of deep thought.

But Shen Yue, on the other hand, let out a sigh of relief.

’Thankfully, we discovered it early.’

’Thankfully, Huang Ziyue found Er Bao’s problem and reactivated his core and Spirit Sea.’

’There’s still time for everything.’

Holding Er Bao in her arms, her expression relaxed, and she gently kissed his forehead.

"Be good, Er Bao. Your female mother is here. I won’t let anything happen to you. I’ll make sure you’re a normal, healthy child, just like your brothers!"

The five people beside her watched as she comforted herself with such emotional stability.

They couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for her.

Lan Cangyue thought she was just putting on a brave face.

"Shen Yue, don’t worry. My Mermaid Clan has many treasures, and our Ocean Domain is vast. I can use all my power to help find a way to restore Er Bao’s spiritual power meridians."

Bai Chaosi also said,

"My Nine-tailed Fox’s Snow Ridge may be isolated from the world, but its territory is expansive. Don’t be too anxious; there must be a way. I’ll send people back right now to search for doctors and medicines that can help Er Bao!"

Ye Lüqi also nodded. "And me. I can issue an order right away for people to search for an S Class Healing Doctor within the borders of Golden West Mountain!"

Mu Silin looked at them, his heart filled with gratitude.

Er Bao was like this because of him; he had failed Shen Yue.

Seeing her being so strong, clearly distraught and anxious, yet not crying or making a scene, his heart ached, and he clenched his fists.

"Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to Er Bao. I’ll set out right now. Even if I have to search the entire K Empire, I will find an S Class Healing Doctor for him."

With that, he turned to leave.

But Shen Yue, holding Er Bao, walked toward the bamboo house without looking back.

"There’s no need. I can restore Er Bao’s spiritual power myself."

"Just don’t make any noise and disturb me."

By the time she finished speaking, she had already entered the house.

Mu Silin stood frozen on the spot, turning Shen Yue’s words over and over in his mind.

The four men beside him also frowned doubtfully. ’She can restore Er Bao herself?’

’How is that possible?’

Just then, Mu Silin’s subordinate suddenly appeared and stood beside him.

"General, I heard everything. The Little General... I can’t believe we made such a huge mistake."

"I’ll go find an S Class doctor for the Little General right away."

After speaking, the subordinate was about to disappear on the spot.

"Stop."

The subordinate: "General?"

Mu Silin stood his ground, as if he had made a decision in the span of a few breaths.

His expression was calm.

"You don’t need to go. Shen Yue said she can do it, and I believe her."

Hearing this, the subordinate looked at the bamboo house in shock.

’The General believes Miss Shen Yue?’

’But Miss Shen Yue has no spiritual power at all! Even if we suspected before that it was very likely Miss Shen Yue who healed Si Muye’s damaged body, that was still just a guess.’

’This is about the Little General! How can we rely on a mere guess and assume Miss Shen Yue can heal him?’

’What if we delay the Little General’s treatment? What then?’

Nearby, Bai Chaosi, Lan Cangyue, and the others also looked at Mu Silin with some surprise.

’This Leopard is actually so certain and trusting of Shen Yue’s words?’

’But Shen Yue has no spiritual power whatsoever. How could a female without spiritual power possibly know how to heal?’

Huang Ziyue frowned but said nothing.

As soon as Shen Yue entered the house, she placed Er Bao on a grass mat.

The little cubs behind her followed her in, carefully standing guard by the side.

"Female mother, what’s wrong with Second Brother?"

"Female mother, will Er Bao be okay? Dabao wants Er Bao to wake up!"

"Wubao’s heart hurts for Second Brother. I don’t want anything to happen to him!"

Listening to them, Shen Yue’s heart ached.

She comforted them,

"Don’t worry. With your female mother here, Er Bao will be fine."

With that, she looked at the little cubs.

"Your female mother is going to treat Er Bao now. You have to promise me you’ll be good and stay by the side. Don’t make a sound, don’t fool around, and don’t disturb me. Then Er Bao will wake up very soon."

"Okay?"

Upon hearing this, the little cubs all nodded at once.

"Mhm, we’ll be good and listen! We won’t disturb our female mother!"

"Female mother, hurry and treat Er Bao! We won’t talk!"

Shen Yue looked at her little cubs with relief, then turned her back to them and took out a silver needle from the Spiritual Spring, also placing a cup of Vitality Water nearby.

The little cubs watched with curiosity at the needle in her hand, covering their mouths and blinking their wide eyes.

According to her memories, the Beast Core of a male in the Beast World was located in the center of the brain.

The meridians for spiritual power, however, originated from the heart and spread throughout the entire body.

It was just like the Eight Extraordinary Meridians in those Cultivation Worlds; they needed to be clear and unobstructed to form power.

Shen Yue gently stretched out Er Bao’s small body and began to apply the needles, starting from the position of his heart.

When the first needle went in, the little cubs beside her were so scared they covered their eyes.

’So scary.’

’Female mother is poking Er Bao with a needle.’

’Is it going to hurt Er Bao a lot?’
