Chapter 316 - 314: Brothers Will Forever Protect Qibao!

Chapter 316: Chapter 314: Brothers Will Forever Protect Qibao!

Shen Yue met the Queen’s shocked gaze, her tone perfectly calm.

"That’s right. Once Xi Xi’s condition is stable, I will personally go to the Black Sea to rescue your son."

"You’re insane!" the Mermaid King exclaimed abruptly.

His face, which bore a slight resemblance to Lan Cangyue’s, was filled with grave disbelief.

"That’s the Black Sea! It’s a forbidden place that not even the males of our Sea Clan dare to enter. No one knows what’s inside. Darkness blankets the area for a hundred miles in every direction. Even SSS level experts who go in never return!"

"You’re just one female. Even with them to protect you, how could you possibly make it back alive? It’s a suicide mission!"

The Sea Witch had been helped up by his attendants. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth; though his body had taken a blow, his words were still sharp and biting.

"What shameless boasting! A weak female, daring to dream of entering the Black Sea to save someone!"

The Queen took a step forward, her face etched with anxiety.

"You are Xi Xi’s female mother, and you are my son’s Female Master. I know you want to save Xi Xi and Cang Yue, but this is no time to act on impulse!"

"The Black Sea is no place for a weak female like you. If something happens to you, even if Cang Yue returns, how could we ever face him..."

"I don’t need to explain my actions to anyone," Shen Yue interrupted coolly, her eyes radiating determination.

"Don’t waste your breath. I don’t have time to explain. I am going to the Black Sea, and that’s final."

As she spoke, her gaze swept over the guards and attendants in the hall with unquestionable authority.

"Now, clear everyone out of the hall. I am going to treat Xi Xi."

Before her voice had even faded, she carefully laid the faintly breathing Xi Xi from her arms onto the coral bed.

The Mermaid King, the Queen, and the Sea Witch were all stunned...

’She’s going to treat Xi Xi?’

’She’s a female with no spiritual power, and she isn’t a Healing Doctor. How is she supposed to treat Xi Xi?’

The Sea Witch was just about to mock her for overestimating her abilities...

...when he saw a faint, fluorescent light begin to emanate from Shen Yue’s body. It was the fluctuation of power...

In that instant, the very air in the underwater hall seemed to freeze.

Everyone’s gaze was locked onto Shen Yue’s fair hand.

They watched as she raised her right hand, palm down, holding it about half a foot away from Xi Xi’s small body.

In the next second, a strange phenomenon occurred.

Her palm hadn’t yet touched Xi Xi, but halos of pale green light spread out from it, rippling like waves in water.

The light wasn’t blindingly bright. Instead, it exuded an incredibly serene and warm life force.

It was like the melting snows of early spring, silently nourishing the parched earth.

The Mermaid King, the Queen, and the others in the hall felt their entire bodies being baptized by this power...

Even their breathing grew softer, gentler...

Then, that indescribably gentle power slowly seeped into Xi Xi’s body...

The Mermaid King, the Queen, and the Sea Witch stared with wide eyes...

’How is this possible?’

’How could a female’s body contain such power?’

They had lived for centuries, had witnessed the strongest secret techniques and the most formidable spiritual power, but they had never seen a Healing Power so pure, so potent.

This power seemed capable of reversing life and death, of calling back a wandering soul.

The Sea Witch, supporting his battered body, trembled with excitement...

He stared intently at the halo of light, his pupils contracting sharply.

"Wh-what is this power?!"

It wasn’t spiritual power. It was a power unlike any they had ever seen or known...

Standing to the side, Yun Lie Ting also felt this vast power, and his heart trembled in shock...

’So, this is Shen Yue’s power?’

’The Divine Power in her body can also heal and save people?’

As everyone in the hall watched with a mixture of tension and shock...

"Ngh..."

Xi Xi, whose brow had been tightly furrowed and her small face tense, slowly began to relax.

Her little mouth moved slightly, letting out the faintest murmur.

The rise and fall of her chest, which had been so faint it was nearly invisible, now became steady and regular.

Her life force, which had been hovering on the brink of death, was now returning at a visible rate.

The Mermaid King and the Queen both stared with wide eyes, instinctively holding their breath.

After just a moment, Xi Xi, who had been lost in a painful nightmare, felt her eyelids flutter.

Her long, butterfly-wing-like eyelashes slowly, arduously, lifted.

"Qibao..."

Shen Yue’s voice trembled, and tears instantly blurred her vision.

Xi Xi opened her eyes.

Her eyes were as brilliant as crystal. They were still weak and heavy with sleep, but they now held a clear spark of life.

She looked around blankly, until her gaze finally settled on the red, veiled figure by her bed...

Her small mouth opened slightly, and she let out a call so soft and sweet it could melt a heart:

"Fe...male... mother..."

That call, as light as a feather, struck with the weight of a mountain.

It instantly shattered the oppressive silence in the hall.

Shen Yue couldn’t hold back any longer as tears streamed silently down her face.

"Qibao, your female mother is here. I’m right here..."

She reached out to caress the little one’s face...

...her touch so gentle she seemed afraid of startling her.

The other young cubs immediately rushed over.

"Qibao’s awake!!"

"Little sister!!"

The little ones knelt by the bed, looking at Qibao’s fragile, pitiful state...

And they all started to cry.

"Qibao, don’t be scared! Dabao is here too!"

"Does it hurt, Qibao? Er Bao will blow on it for you!"

"Qibao, your big brothers are all here with you!"

"Your big brothers will protect you, Qibao! You’re going to be okay!!"

Standing by the bed, the Mermaid King and the Queen were instantly overcome, tears streaming down their aged faces!

Their clouded eyes were filled with ecstatic joy and hope.

Their fishtails trembled as they gazed at their little granddaughter on the bed. Their lips quivered, unable to form a complete sentence for a long moment.

"Xi Xi... Grandma’s good girl..."

’She’s awake, she’s really awake!!’

Xi Xi lay on the bed, looking at Dabao and her other brothers crying beside her...

"Qibao missed her brothers... missed her female mother..."

Her soft, weak voice struck everyone’s hearts...

...making their noses tingle with the urge to cry...

The young cubs cried even harder.

"We missed you too, Qibao!"

"You have to get better soon, Qibao! We’ll never be separated from you again..."

"Your big brothers will protect you forever, Qibao!!"

Si Muye walked over, his eyes red-rimmed. His voice was choked and soft as he spoke.

"Xi Xi, the Ancient Bear Father is here too. Don’t be afraid... the Ancient Bear Father will always protect you."

The little one on the bed was still too weak to move...

But upon seeing everyone, tears fell from her watery eyes, turning into pearls as they dropped...

"Ancient Bear... Father... brothers..."

she murmured weakly...

"Xi Xi wants her female mother to hold her..."

Shen Yue’s heart clenched in pain. She gently reached out and gathered the little one into her arms.

"Okay, okay. Your female mother’s holding you. I’m here..."

A mother’s heart is connected to her child’s. Just looking at Xi Xi’s current state made tears stream endlessly from the corners of her eyes...

As she spoke, she continuously kissed Xi Xi’s forehead, as if trying to pour all her love into her.

Huang Ziyue, Mu Silin, and the others stood nearby, their own hearts tightening. They, too, slowed their breathing, finding the scene difficult to watch...

Among the seven cubs, she was the only little girl.

So precious and rare...

Yet now, she had suffered so much...
