Chapter 587: Chapter 587: Su Qinglan’s Shocking Diagnosis
The surroundings instantly froze. Even Su Qinglan blinked slightly.
The old healer ignored everyone’s expressions and proudly continued, "Believe me, this girl already surpassed many healers despite her young age. Even this old man was surprised."
This time, the crowd became even more doubtful. Some females immediately frowned slightly.
After all, how could they trust a young outsider female so easily?
Especially when the old healer praised her so highly. Many people simply thought the old healer was blindly favoring her.
One female suddenly whispered,
"Isn’t she from that tribe that recently entered Dragon Beast City?"
Instantly, many gazes toward Su Qinglan changed slightly. It was filled with suspicion, doubt, and hesitation. But nobody stepped forward.
Seeing this, the old healer’s face instantly turned red from anger. His beard almost trembled.
"You dare doubt this old man?!" he roared furiously while slamming his staff again.
Bang!
"If you don’t trust her, then don’t come! This old man doesn’t do charity!"
Everyone immediately became nervous. The old healer rarely got truly angry. But when he got angry, even the city lord wouldn’t be able to calm him down.
Then he stood up dramatically before grabbing Su Qinglan’s sleeve.
"Little granddaughter, let’s go! Grandpa will take you somewhere else! These blind fools don’t know treasure when they see it!"
Su Qinglan almost laughed again but still obediently followed behind him. But just as they were about to leave, suddenly a female hurriedly stepped forward.
"Old Healer, wait!"
The female looked slightly embarrassed before looking toward Su Qinglan politely.
"Elder Sister... can you check my pulse?"
Su Qinglan instantly froze slightly.
Elder Sister?
She looked at the female in front of her. The female clearly looked around thirty or more years old.
Su Qinglan subconsciously touched her own face.
Did she already look that old?! She was still in her twenties, alright!
Even though she already gave birth before, she still looked young!
Internally, she almost cried, but outwardly, she maintained a calm smile.
"Of course."
The old healer instantly snorted proudly again while sitting back down arrogantly.
"Hmph. At least one person here has eyes."
The female awkwardly sat in front of Su Qinglan while extending her wrist.
Su Qinglan gently held her wrist before carefully checking her pulse.
At first, her expression remained calm.
But slowly...
Her brows slightly furrowed.
Then her fingers paused. Because the condition inside this female’s body was... very strange.
And the female herself was also looking at Su Qinglan strangely, as if secretly waiting to see her embarrass herself in front of everyone.
The female standing in front of Su Qinglan was called Yue Lian.
She looked gentle and beautiful with long brown hair tied behind her back while her lips carried a soft smile.
"Elder Sister..." Yue Lian said sweetly while touching her stomach lightly. "When will I conceive my child? It has already been five years since I first mated, but I still haven’t gotten pregnant."
The surroundings instantly became quiet.
Many females secretly looked toward Su Qinglan curiously.
Su Qinglan calmly looked at Yue Lian. Then her brows slowly furrowed. Her strange gaze immediately made Yue Lian’s smile stiffen slightly.
Before long, Su Qinglan slowly spoke.
"You cannot conceive a child in this life."
The moment Su Qinglan’s words fell, the entire area under the giant tree became silent. Even the wind seemed to stop moving for a second as all the females and beastmen stared at her with stunned expressions.
Yue Lian’s face instantly turned pale white, and her body swayed slightly as though someone had suddenly exposed the deepest secret buried inside her heart. Her fingers trembled violently before she abruptly pulled her hand away from Su Qinglan.
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Yue Lian shouted loudly, her voice sharp and trembling. "You only checked my pulse for a moment, and now you are cursing me like this? You outsider female, how dare you say I can never become a mother!"
Her voice became louder and louder until almost everyone nearby gathered around them.
Su Qinglan remained completely calm while standing there quietly. Her expression did not change at all even while Yue Lian pointed at her accusingly with red eyes.
"You are jealous of me!" Yue Lian continued screaming emotionally. "You just want to humiliate me in front of everyone because Old Healer Ye praised you! How could I never conceive a cub? Look at me! I am perfectly healthy!"
Beside her, her beast husband, a wolf beastman named Lang Chi, also frowned deeply while supporting her shoulders. His expression looked ugly because this matter had always been the deepest pain in their family.
Around them, the surrounding females immediately began whispering among themselves.
"What did she just say?"
"She said Yue Lian can never have cubs?"
"How is that possible?"
"But Old Healer Ye is standing here, and he did not stop her..."
Some people clearly did not believe Su Qinglan at all. After all, she was still a newcomer in Dragon Beast City, while Yue Lian had lived here for many years.
Meanwhile, Su Qinglan only watched Yue Lian silently before speaking in a calm voice.
"But I only said the truth. Why are you reacting like this?" she asked softly. "And deep inside your heart... don’t you already know the reason better than anyone else?"
Yue Lian froze instantly. Her pupils shrank violently.
A trace of panic flashed across her eyes so quickly that almost nobody noticed it except Su Qinglan and the old healer.
Old Healer Ye narrowed his eyes sharply while stroking his long beard thoughtfully. He had already checked Yue Lian many times over the years, yet every time he found nothing wrong with her body. Still, despite being mated for five years, she had never conceived once.
That itself was already strange.
The old healer suddenly became even more serious as he stared at Su Qinglan deeply.
Meanwhile, Yue Lian’s emotions completely exploded.
"What do I know?!" she screamed hysterically. "You are simply making things up! You are cursing me!"
As she shouted, she suddenly rushed toward Su Qinglan angrily as though wanting to push her.
But before she could even touch Su Qinglan... Shi Feng instantly stepped forward with a cold expression and blocked her path.
"Enough," Shi Feng said coldly while staring at her sharply.
Yue Lian staggered backward in fear when she met Shi Feng’s icy gaze.
The atmosphere immediately became tense.
Old Healer Ye finally slammed his wooden staff heavily against the ground.
"Silence!" he roared furiously.
Everyone instantly quieted down. The old healer’s face had already turned red from anger as he glared at Yue Lian fiercely.
"If you dare continue causing trouble in front of this old man, then leave immediately!" he shouted harshly. "My apprentice will explain everything clearly. If you refuse to listen, then go away and continue believing your own delusions!"
His sharp eyes then landed on Lang Chi.
"And you!" the old healer snapped. "Control your female properly instead of letting her scream here like this!"
Lang Chi’s face instantly turned embarrassed.
The old healer clearly was not finished.
"You useless males only know how to complain about not having cubs!" he scolded loudly. "If your fertility has problems, then how can you possibly sire healthy children? Are you planning to ruin innocent lives?!"
Several beastmen nearby instantly lowered their heads awkwardly after being scolded publicly.
Meanwhile, Yue Lian’s face had become deathly pale.
Su Qinglan finally looked at her quietly before speaking slowly.
"The reason you cannot conceive," she said calmly, "is because your womb was already damaged long ago."
Boom.
Yue Lian’s body trembled violently. Her eyes widened in horror.
"How... how do you know..." she muttered subconsciously.
