Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 290

Chapter 290: Chapter 287: Healing Leia

He was lost in his own world when he suddenly felt a tug on the corner of his clothes.

He turned his head and saw Hua Hua beside him, her face full of worry.

"Auntie Hua, what’s wrong?"

Hua Hua pointed at him worriedly.

Yelias’s heart warmed. "I’m fine. You should go to sleep."

Hua Hua pointed at his wine glass again. "No more drinking."

Yelias replied, "I’ll just have a little more, then I’ll head back."

Hua Hua covered his glass. "You can’t drink. You’ll throw up."

Last time, the kid drank so much he threw up, and she had grabbed him by the ear and given him a good scolding.

A bitter look crossed Yelias’s face. "Auntie Hua, you don’t understand..."

As he spoke, he tried to drink again.

Hua Hua got angry. She grabbed his ear and hauled him to his feet.

Before Yelias could even react, the pain in his ear made him instinctively stand up, following the force of the pull.

Hua Hua raised her hand and gave his bottom a few smacks, and they weren’t light. "If you’re unhappy, go play! Go to sleep! Don’t you dare waste Susu’s wine!"

"This wine costs over three hundred thousand a bottle! It’s very expensive! Last time the kid wanted to drink some, Susu chased him out of the wine cellar!"

"If you drink any more, I’m telling Susu!"

It was the first time Yelias had ever been spanked by an elder, and his mind went completely blank.

The painful and guilty emotions he’d been drowning in shattered, replaced only by a rush of embarrassment and awkwardness that flooded his mind. "Auntie Hua... Auntie Hua... No, wait a second..."

Hua Hua just kept marching, dragging him by the ear.

Wine worth hundreds of thousands, and he was sitting in a corner all by himself, secretly glugging down more than half a bottle.

He had a miserable look on his face; it was clear he didn’t even like drinking.

Wasting something he didn’t even like to drink was just plain disrespectful.

When a kid does something wrong, you have to teach them a lesson.

Caught up in this scene, Yelias didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

He could only surrender. "Okay, Auntie Hua, I won’t drink anymore. You... can you let me go first?"

Seeing this, Hua Hua finally let him go. "Then you have to be a good boy and listen."

Yelias: "...Okay."

’How could I not listen? In all my years, this is the first time I’ve ever been spanked.’

Hua Hua stared at him. "I don’t believe you. I’ll only feel at ease when I see you go back to your room and sleep."

Yelias was exasperated. "Auntie Hua, I’m not a child anymore."

Hua Hua patted his head. "You’re a kid, and kids have to listen."

"Auntie knows you’re unhappy. I can sing for you to cheer you up. Don’t be sad."

Yelias was slightly taken aback, then gave a resigned smile. "Okay."

He actually let Hua Hua lead him back to his room.

Hua Hua sat by his bedside, truly treating him like a child she needed to soothe.

Her singing voice carried a powerful healing quality, like a sacred and ethereal Mermaid from the deep sea, softly chanting an ancient ballad.

Yelias slowly relaxed, letting Hua Hua’s hand pat gently against his chest.

The unsettling feelings of guilt and regret in his mind gradually faded away.

’I can’t help but feel a little envious of that stupid snake Li Chenlin for having such a warm mother.’

The Medical Alliance settled in the Imperial City.

It was only then that Bai Su learned the reason Leia had been so desperate to move: Bai Su’s Healing Power could promote Leia’s growth and development.

’But I clearly remember it being something about a curse from the Qin Family...’

Bai Su went to find Yelias, wanting to get a clear picture of the situation.

But Yelias seemed distracted. Not only were his answers off-topic, but the details he gave also contradicted what he had said before.

"You will always be a sinner. Always!"

"I will never forgive you. Not even now that you’ve become the high-and-mighty head of the Lanton Family, and not even if no one else remembers that you once caused the death of a young woman."

"I will remember."

"I’ll follow you like a shadow, reminding you of the wrong you’ve done!"

The color drained from Yelias’s face, inch by inch. "Luo’an..."

Luo’an looked away in disgust. "Don’t say my name. You don’t deserve to."

Meanwhile, just as Bai Su came out of the Lanton Family’s laboratory, she was pulled over to the Medical Alliance by Leia to assist with an experiment.

Xiao Yi was also in the laboratory.

Bai Su asked, "How can I help with your experiment?"

Xiao Yi replied, "It’s simple. You just need to channel your Healing Ability into Leia’s body."

Bai Su was clueless when it came to medical matters.

She asked suspiciously, "That’s it?"

Leia nodded repeatedly beside her. "That’s it."

Bai Su asked, "What’s the principle behind it?"

’If I can use my Healing Power to treat Leia, does that mean Little Treasure can also use his Healing Power to cure Da Bao? I seem to recall Yelias saying before that my Healing Power couldn’t save them, or something like that. He said what they had was the Qin Family’s curse.’

Xiao Yi explained, "It’s because you broke through to Level 10. Your spiritual power has undergone a qualitative leap."

"We’ve used your spiritual power for experiments before, and even tried... ahem, a womb transplant, but it was completely ineffective."

"But recently, we accidentally discovered that your Healing Ability can actually promote Leia’s growth."

"We conducted more research using your Healing Ability and concluded that the change was likely caused by your level-up."

"We also tried experimenting with Little Treasure’s Healing Ability, but there was no reaction."

"Only the spiritual power from her twin sister can break through the Barrier in her Spirit Sea and stimulate her growth power."

After understanding the principle, Bai Su knew what to do and began channeling her Healing Power into Leia’s body.
