Chapter 11: Come live with me.
Looking at the little golden lion in her arms, now fainted from pain, Shen Yue’s heart twisted painfully.
She didn’t have time to hesitate. She immediately opened her spiritual spring and took out a drop of life-giving water, gently prying open Da Bao’s mouth and feeding it in.
Seeing that Da Bao successfully swallowed the life water and his breathing gradually stabilized, Shen Yue finally let out a breath of relief.
Carefully, she placed the little cub back onto the straw mat and stroked his curled-up body, still trembling from fear.
Xiong Jiaojiao… the pain you made Da Bao suffer, I will make you pay back a thousand, ten thousand times over.
She stood up and walked out of the cave—only to almost collide with Si Muye at the entrance.
He had rushed in after hearing her cry.
He froze for a moment.
“…Are you okay?”
Shen Yue’s eyes were filled with cold killing intent. Silver needles were already in her hand.
“I’m fine. But they’re about to be in big trouble.”
At that moment, she saw Xiong Jiaojiao and her beast mates trying to drag the unconscious Xiong Da away and escape while Si Muye was distracted.
“Don’t let them get away!”
Si Muye reacted instantly, turning and blocking their path.
Xiong Jiaojiao flinched when she saw his terrifying aura.
“You… what are you doing? I’m warning you, males are not allowed to harm females…”
“Males may not. But I can.”
Shen Yue walked forward step by step, cold killing intent radiating from her body.
Silver needles flickered in her fingers. She could not only save lives—she could also take them.
To her, killing was easier than saving.
Saving required life water, time, and energy.
Killing? Just a flick of her fingers.
Xiong Jiaojiao felt fear rise in her chest.
“Shen Yue, what are you doing? It was just your cub getting hurt and one fish being taken! I can compensate you with a few fish, and you can even hit my cub back to vent your anger!”
Si Muye frowned in disgust at her words.
He had never seen such a vile female.
Even her beast mates looked at her in disbelief.
Shen Yue stared at her coldly.
So this is how survival works in the beast world?
Females here could abandon even their own children to save themselves.
But she couldn’t.
She narrowed her eyes.
“You… deserve to be a mother?”
Before Xiong Jiaojiao could react, Shen Yue moved.
A silver needle pierced into the Fengchi acupoint at the back of her neck.
It didn’t hurt much at first—only a strange numbness.
“What… what did you do to me?”
Shen Yue calmly tucked the needle back into her sleeve.
“Nothing. You said I was abandoned by a beast mate, that my child was a bastard.”
“Then you should also taste that feeling.”
Xiong Jiaojiao froze.
“…What do you mean?”
The next second, her vision blurred.
Shen Yue’s figure shrank. The light around her went dark.
She reached out in panic.
“Why is it dark?! What’s happening to my eyes?!”
“I can’t see! I can’t see!!”
Her beast mates panicked instantly.
“Female owner!!”
“Female owner!!”
Si Muye also froze and looked at Shen Yue.
Did she do this?
So fast?
But she only lightly touched her…
Xiong Jiaojiao screamed, crawling on the ground in panic.
“My eyes hurt!! What happened?!”
“Xiong Er! Xiong San! What’s wrong with my eyes?!”
Her beast mates looked at her in horror.
“Female owner… your eyes… your eyes are bleeding!”
“They’re ruined!!”
Blood slowly seeped from Xiong Jiaojiao’s eyes.
Shen Yue’s expression remained cold.
Thinking of Da Bao curled in pain earlier, she still felt unsatisfied.
She wanted to kill her.
But she wouldn’t let her die so easily.
“Xiong Jiaojiao, this is the pain Da Bao suffered. Your eyes are the price.”
“Now let’s see how you act so arrogantly in this wilderness without them.”
The killing intent on Shen Yue’s body made even Si Muye tremble slightly.
It was the first time he felt such overwhelming dominance from a female.
His heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.
The beast mates, terrified, quickly dragged Xiong Jiaojiao and the unconscious Xiong Da away in panic.
That female… was terrifying.
She had made their female blind in an instant.
A monster… no, even scarier than a beast god.
Shen Yue returned to the cave.
Si Muye followed her inside.
The small space became even more cramped with his tall frame.
He glanced around, frowning slightly.
Too small. Too dark. Too damp.
He finally understood how she had been living.
Watching Shen Yue carefully hold the little golden lion, he couldn’t help but speak.
“Ah… A-Yue.”
It was the first time he called her name.
Shen Yue looked up in confusion.
His ears turned red.
“Come live with me.”
Then he quickly corrected himself.
“I mean—move into my cave. It’s bigger. Better. More suitable for you and the cubs. I don’t mean anything else. I just—”
Shen Yue: “Okay.”
Si Muye: “…?”
He froze.
She agreed?
Shen Yue looked at him.
“Thank you, Si Muye. If you hadn’t rushed in earlier, Da Bao might have…”
She looked down at the little lion in her arms.
She didn’t even dare imagine it.
It was her negligence.
Si Muye lowered his head slightly.
“It’s my fault. I ran out earlier because I… panicked.”
His voice turned low and hoarse.
After running out, he had escaped ten miles just to calm his embarrassment.
But when he came back, he realized something shocking.
His leg—no longer hurt.
He could run.
He could move freely.
He had been stunned for a long time in the forest, feeling the long-lost power return to his body.
Ten years.
Ten years of falling from glory to humiliation.
From a revered Great Knight to a crippled joke in the royal city.
Even once captured in battle, imprisoned for nearly two years in darkness…
