She knew that Xiu Ka had always been silently compromising, placing himself in a lowly position. Perhaps the arrival of the little ones might give him a bit more confidence.
Mi Yue took out her phone to contact Xiu Ka. She had been suddenly sent to Lion City, and Xiu Ka must be worried. She wondered how he was doing now.
Mi Yue: “Xiu Ka, are you there? Can you hear me?”
She sent the message, but after a long while, there was no reply from Xiu Ka.
Mi Yue found it strange. Normally, Xiu Ka would reply instantly. Why was he taking so long this time?
She checked Xiu Ka’s vital signs through her phone and found that his body was functioning normally. His health bar was full, indicating he wasn’t in any immediate danger.
Could he have fallen asleep and not heard it?
But Xiu Ka should be resting in the Tiger Tribe right now. There shouldn’t be anything keeping him busy.
Unable to figure out the reason, Mi Yue decided to contact Xing Chi instead.
Mi Yue: “Xing Chi, have you reached the Inner Sea yet? How are the little ones?”
This time, she received a reply almost immediately.
“Yes, we’ve arrived at the edge of the Inner Sea. Once I find a safe habitat for the little ones, I’ll come back for you.”
“Yue, wait for me obediently.”
Seeing that Xing Chi replied that everything was fine, Mi Yue felt relieved.
Xing Chi’s hoarse voice echoed in her ears, making her ears burn.
“Yue, I miss you. Do you miss me?”
“I miss you too, Xing Chi. Take care of the little ones and yourself. Don’t make me worry.”
Not wanting to disturb Xing Chi on his journey, Mi Yue didn’t mention that she had been taken to Lion City.
If Xing Chi knew she had been captured, he would undoubtedly rush over with the ten shark pups to rescue her.
But the ten little sharks couldn’t endure such a trip. They needed to return to the sea quickly to recover.
Under these circumstances, she could only share good news and keep the bad to herself.
Fortunately, Claude hadn’t shown any hostility toward her so far. For now, all she could do was wait and observe.
Over the next few days, Mi Yue lived relatively comfortably. Thanks to Claude’s arrangements, the beast servants in the stone house treated her with respect.
She was well-fed and well-cared for, and even her room was upgraded to the largest and most spacious one.
Mi Yue even began to entertain the thought of staying. Raising her children here might not be a bad idea.
Claude occasionally visited Mi Yue, bringing physicians to check on her and ensure she and the unborn babies were healthy.
One day, Claude was preparing to visit Mi Yue as usual.
Before he could leave, he suddenly clutched his chest and began gasping for air. His chest heaved violently, and a harsh cough tore from his throat. Soon, his face turned red, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground.
“Something’s wrong! Something’s wrong!”
“Someone, come quickly! The master is having another episode!”
“Call the physician, hurry!”
…
The beast servants nearby panicked when they saw Claude collapse. They scrambled to lift him up, shouting in chaos.
They knew Claude occasionally had these episodes, but they didn’t know what to do when it happens.
“Where’s the physician?”
“Why hasn’t the physician come yet?”
“What do we do? What do we do?”
“Go find the physician, now!”
The servants were in complete disarray, running around frantically to locate the physician. But for some reason, the physician was nowhere to be found in the stone house today.
At such a critical moment, they couldn’t find a physician, what was Claude supposed to do?
Meanwhile, Mi Yue was lazily lying on her bed, thinking about what to eat later. She heard some commotion outside but paid it no mind.
After all, she was currently staying in someone else’s home and shouldn’t be too curious about their affairs.
If she accidentally learned something she shouldn’t, it might very well bring fatal consequences upon herself.
[Host, the feeding target, lion-beast Claude, is in mortal danger! Please rush to his aid!!!]
[Please rush to his aid!!!]
“What? What’s happening?”
Mi Yue immediately rolled out of bed, her heart pounding.
She hadn’t even started her “conquest” yet, and he was already in mortal danger?
Judging by the chaotic sounds outside, the situation was serious.
Mi Yue quickly pushed open the door and followed the noise to its source.
No one paid her any attention along the way, everyone was too busy frantically searching for a physician.
Soon, Mi Yue found Claude’s room and squeezed inside.
The moment she stepped in, she saw Claude lying on the bed, gasping for breath, his face flushed red and his lips purple.
These symptoms looked very much like an asthma attack, they had to find the allergen immediately.
Allergic reactions usually required physical contact, so the allergen was likely on Claude’s body.
Mi Yue started with his nose and mouth and quickly discovered traces of pollen on his nose.
“This must be the allergen.”
She carefully wiped away all the pollen from Claude’s nose, then dampened a piece of animal hide with water and thoroughly cleaned his face to ensure no pollen remained.
As the pollen was removed, Claude’s breathing gradually steadied, and his complexion returned to normal.
The beast-servants standing nearby were astonished, this little female had merely wiped their master’s face, and he had recovered. It was nothing short of miraculous.
Claude regained some strength. This asthma attack had nearly cost him his life.
“Thank you, Mi Yue.”
“If not for you, I might have truly died here.” Claude expressed his gratitude sincerely.
[Received 10 gratitude points from Claude, Lion City’s lord. Current gratitude points: 35.]
[Received 20 virtue points from Claude, Lion City’s lord. Current virtue points: 105.]
[Virtue points have reached 100. Host, would you like to exchange for one year of lifespan?]
“We’ll talk about that later, don’t speak for now,” Mi Yue silently communicated with the system.
“It’s nothing serious. You have asthma, you need to be more careful in daily life.”
“Asthma?” This was the first time Claude had heard the term.
His condition was congenital. Even the most skilled physicians in Lion City didn’t know what it was or how to treat it.
Every time he had an attack, it was extremely dangerous. Sometimes, even the physicians could do nothing but watch helplessly.
“Yes, simply put, it’s a respiratory allergy. Your body is hypersensitive to certain substances. Exposure triggers an allergic reaction, causing shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, and physical weakness.”
“But if you’re careful and reduce exposure to allergens while boosting your immune system, it’ll improve over time.” Mi Yue had experienced occasional asthma attacks when her immunity was low due to her terminal illness.
However, after enhancing her body with gratitude points, her allergic reactions had disappeared.
“This little lady, since you can save our master, could you also completely cure his illness? He’s been suffering from it for many years.” Claude’s beast servant, Sarah, pleaded after hearing Mi Yue’s detailed explanation.
“Asthma cannot be completely cured; it can only be managed by reducing the frequency of attacks through daily care.”
“You must avoid dust and keep your room well-ventilated and clean. It’s also best to stay away from fresh flowers, as pollen can trigger an attack. This time, the attack was caused by your exposure to pollen.”
Mi Yue carefully instructed, while Sarah beside her committed every word to memory.
