Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef

Chapter 158: Chapter 157: Lu Tingyan and Yelias Are Moved

Under everyone’s curious gazes, Flar nodded slowly. "That’s right. Miss Bai Su’s food is what cured the Plum Virus."

The researchers’ eyes were wide with disbelief.

"How could the Plum Virus possibly be cured?"

"Is her food really that miraculous?"

"Weren’t you researching the female dietary nourishment project? Why did you suddenly switch to studying the Plum Virus?"

"Is Miss Bai Su’s Healing Ability really so incredible?"

They had all heard Bai Su’s name on the web before. Rumor had it her food was a panacea that could make the disabled walk with ease and allow infertile females to have litters of four.

At first, they hadn’t paid it much mind, assuming it was just a publicity stunt by the Federation to build hype for this Level 8 Female.

After all, laypeople might not know better, but how could they, as medical professionals, not understand?

Something like that was a complete fairytale; it couldn’t possibly exist!

But now, right before their eyes, Flar was telling them that Bai Su’s food could cure the Plum Virus?

That was the Plum Virus!

This wasn’t some child’s play like curing infertility or helping the disabled walk again!

After Flar confirmed it once more, the crowd erupted in an uproar. Their gazes on Bai Su grew increasingly fervent.

It was as if they were looking at a walking, new-generation god of medicine.

Bai Su had long since grown accustomed to being the center of attention wherever she went, so she paid them no mind.

She let out a huge sigh of relief after confirming no one else had been infected.

Her body had its own self-healing ability and was immune to all poisons, so she was less cautious about viruses and bacteria.

That’s why she hadn’t taken many precautions.

’Thank goodness no one was infected. Otherwise, I could never have forgiven myself.’

Bai Su waved to Hua Hua in the scanning bay. "Auntie, let’s go home."

Hua Hua hid shyly behind Bai Su, too embarrassed to face Lu Tingyan and Yelias again.

Bai Su found it a bit funny. "What’s wrong? They won’t blame you."

Hua Hua lowered her head shyly. "I was crying in front of the cubs... The cubs will laugh at Hua Hua..."

She had been so scared she’d started crying, and the cubs must have seen it. They would think she was useless for crying.

Lu Tingyan and Yelias both froze. ’The "cubs" she’s talking about... are us?’

Although in terms of age, Hua Hua was old enough to be their mother.

But neither of them had ever really enjoyed a mother’s affection growing up, so being suddenly treated as "cubs" was a bit awkward. They both cleared their throats.

Bai Su let out a "pfft" of laughter and patted Hua Hua’s back soothingly. "It’s okay, the cubs won’t laugh at you. Even if you cry in front of them, you’re still a good, dignified auntie!"

Hua Hua’s face turned red, and she blinked her clear, childlike eyes. "Really?"

Bai Su nodded forcefully, then shot a warning glance at the two men. "Right?"

Lu Tingyan and Yelias could only nod. "Right..."

Only then did Hua Hua breathe a sigh of relief, the light returning to her eyes.

She tugged on Bai Su’s hand. "I... I made gifts for the cubs. I’ll go get them now!"

After speaking, she scampered upstairs and came back down hugging a paper bag, which she placed on the table.

Bai Su leaned in curiously. "What’s this?"

Hua Hua scratched her head shyly. "I thought... I was going to die, so I made gifts for you all. I made them all by hand, you know."

She pulled out a small, fluffy hat and handed it to Bai Su. "This one is for my daughter-in-law. In the winter, you can tuck your rabbit ears into the hat to stay warm!"

Then she pulled out a knitted sweater. "Wear this in the winter so you won’t be cold."

Bai Su accepted the soft knitted hat and sweater, a smile spreading across her face. "They’re so cute! Thank you, Auntie Hua Hua!"

Stroking the sweater, her heart couldn’t help but soften.

In her past life, only her grandmother had ever knitted sweaters like this for her. After her grandmother passed away when she was in middle school, no one had ever knitted one for her again.

The kind of sweater worn between a long-sleeved shirt and a coat, perfect for keeping warm and warding off the cold in the winter.

As Bai Su looked at it, her eyes inexplicably turned red.

Hua Hua then took out two grayish-white ones and shyly handed them to Lu Tingyan and Yelias.

The two men couldn’t help but stare, stunned. "We get some too?"

Hua Hua nodded vigorously. "The cubs get them too. Wear these to stay warm, then you won’t be afraid of the cold this winter."

Lu Tingyan and Yelias held the sweaters, their feelings complicated.

It was the first time they had ever seen such a thing, but holding it felt inexplicably warm.

Hua Hua looked at them sheepishly. "I know I’m causing trouble for you by living here. My cub would be angry if he knew I was bothering people without thanking them..."

She pulled three more items from the paper bag. "These are for the little cubs."

The little cubs were still training their guts out at the military headquarters and hadn’t returned yet.

Bai Su accepted the gifts on their behalf, smiling. "Thank you, Auntie Hua Hua. They’ll love them!"

The group enjoyed a lively dinner together.

「Meanwhile.」

Unable to find his mother, Li Chenlin was on the verge of losing control, especially after learning that his mother hadn’t been living a good life with Li Fengjue all these years but had instead been relentlessly tortured.

He had completely snapped. Drenched in blood and violence, he massacred the entire Imperial Palace.

His own father, he had torn to shreds with his bare hands.

His brothers and sisters, he had devoured them all.

All the servants who had once watched with cold indifference, all those who knew the truth but didn’t report it—he killed them all.

Overnight, the entire Imperial Palace was stained red with blood.

Li Chenlin stood in a pool of blood, watching the soldiers cower in the corners. Terrified, they stared at him as if he were a monster, not knowing what to do.

Li Chenlin curled his lip. "I’ll ask one more time. Did any of you see which direction my mother went after she escaped the Imperial Palace that night?"

The soldiers were scared out of their wits. They truly hadn’t seen anything, and they truly had nothing to say.

In the moment they hesitated, Li Chenlin released an explosive Poison Gas Bomb. A ghastly green miasma enveloped the entire Imperial Palace.

"Since none of you know, you can all be buried with her."

’Aunt Mei said Mother only had two months left.’

’It’s been almost two months since she escaped...’

’Mother...’

「The next day.」

An announcement from the Lanton Family sent shockwaves across the globe.

In a news report, the Lanton Family announced that the world’s first patient infected with the Plum Virus had been cured.

Bai Su’s food had effectively cured a female of the Plum Virus, providing an incredibly important blueprint for the research and development of a cure.

In the video, the cured female was undergoing a scan in a scanning bay.

The scan results showed all data in green, a symbol of a complete cure.

The whole world was cheering for Bai Su’s food.

[Bai Su must be a treasure bestowed upon us by the great Beast God!]

[So amazing! This is truly amazing!]

[Her food should be recorded in the annals of history!]

[I hope the Lanton Family can develop a cure quickly. It would be one less threat to the survival of females.]

Li Chenlin stared at the female being scanned in the video, his pupils contracting abruptly.
