Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef
Chapter 117 - 116: Little White Spider Trapped in the Medical Alliance
Yelias’s eyes flickered, his gaze fixed on Bai Su.
This power could only awaken in the bloodline of his descendants if the female who bore them was exceptionally gifted, producing offspring that were genetically improved and able to withstand it.
But...
If Bai Su was truly such a powerful female, why would she only have her current status?
And how could Lu Tingyan dare to let her just stay at the mountaintop restaurant, interacting with all sorts of people every day?
What was the difference between that and pouring a bucket of water into the desert, scattering minced meat in a beggars’ den, or throwing gold onto the streets of a slum?!
’And Bai Su has been running this restaurant peacefully for so long, right under everyone’s noses?!’
Hearing his words, Lu Tingyan also seemed to understand what was going on.
Just as Bai Su was about to explain, Lu Tingyan covered her mouth and looked at Yelias. "Unless you’re willing to become Susu’s Beast Husband and swear on your bloodline that you will never harm her, I will tell you the truth."
Reason told Yelias that this was completely unbelievable.
But his intuition told him that if he missed the truth tonight, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
He had never been an indecisive person.
After weighing his options for a moment, he nodded. "Alright."
Although he still hadn’t figured out the cause of his grandfather’s death, since his grandfather had given his own life to protect this female, there must have been a reason.
He would not go against his grandfather’s last wishes for the person his grandfather died to protect.
Yelias used his spiritual power to swear to the Beast God, pledging to protect Bai Su for the rest of his life.
Only then did Lu Tingyan tell him the truth about the hospital.
After hearing it, Yelias was stunned, despite having seen countless patients.
He had never encountered such a gifted female—one who could very likely reach Level 9?
’What a terrifying existence!’
The entire history of the Beast World Continent would be rewritten!
For females, and indeed for the entire Beast World Continent, this would be a milestone of progress!
No wonder she could have several children in one birth, with each one perfectly inheriting their father’s Companion Abilities and Skills.
With such terrifying talent, to put it bluntly, even if you compared her to all the other females in the world, they probably wouldn’t be as important as her.
Because only when both parents reached Level 9 could the resulting Beastman possibly break the limits of Level 9 and enter the threshold of Level 10.
But in all these years, the highest Level for a female had only been the Seventh and Eighth Level. A Level 9 Female had never appeared, let alone a Level 9 with a superpower!
Amid his excitement, Yelias suddenly asked, "You just said that kid took your womb?"
Bai Su nodded. "He was wearing a necklace around his neck. It looked like the symbol of the Medical Alliance."
Yelias’s pupils shrank abruptly, as if he had guessed something.
’I think I know who was really behind my grandfather’s death...’
Lu Tingyan liked smart people like this. One more intelligent person protecting Bai Su meant one more layer of security for her.
He wasn’t stupid. When he got the information out of the mother and daughter, Bai Xue and Rachel, and learned that the people who performed the uterus transplant back then were from the Medical Alliance, he had faintly sensed that something was wrong.
The Medical Alliance and the Lanton Family had always been hostile to one another.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Bringing Yelias in to protect Bai Su would only be beneficial for her, with no downsides.
For Bai Su’s safety, he didn’t mind letting this utterly powerless doctor join their family.
Lu Tingyan said, "Don’t worry. I’ve already sent Yodel to track that kid’s whereabouts."
Yelias gave a slight nod.
The two men looked at each other, a silent, unspoken understanding passing between them.
Medical Alliance.
The Little White Spider returned to the base and handed the temperature-controlled, code-locked case to the contact person in front of him.
The male in the lead was a Cow Beastman. Seeing the object in his hands, a flash of delight crossed his face. "The higher-ups will be very pleased with what you’ve brought back."
The Little White Spider gave a half-hearted sound in response.
The Medical Alliance was a massive underground medical research institute, practically dug out all the way from the mountains to the seabed. It was practically an underground city.
If they weren’t on a mission, they would never see the sun.
Every day, they drank cold nutrient fluid and wore identical clothes.
There was almost no communication between them, because there was no need. No one knew when they might die.
The corridors inside the institute resembled circular pipes. The walls glowed with a harsh, cold white light that shone on everyone, making them look more like cold, emotionless smart machines.
The Little White Spider moved among these adult Beastmen, his figure looking particularly frail and small.
He swiped his card and returned to his room.
Perhaps it couldn’t be called a room. It was more like a square prison cell—a bed, a washroom, and nothing else.
The Little White Spider turned off the light in his room and lay on the bed, the look in Bai Su’s eyes flashing repeatedly in his mind.
The back of his hand still seemed to hold the sensation of being struck by her tears. They were only teardrops, yet for some reason, they felt searing hot to him.
In the past, that woman, Bai Su, would never have looked at him like that.
She would only use all kinds of words to disgust him, curse him, and show her disdain for him being a spider.
She was afraid of spiders.
’She was the one who sold me, which is why I became a stray orphan, and why everything that came after happened.’
’What right does she have to cry?’
The Little White Spider stared at the spot on the back of his hand that felt burned by the tears and turned over in frustration.
After a moment of thought, he tsked, activated the smart device on his left wrist, and searched the interstellar network for "Can a female survive after having her womb removed?"
Suddenly, a loud banging sounded from the door.
The Little White Spider’s eyes turned cold, the emotion in them vanishing in an instant. He went to open the door, his face devoid of expression.
The Cow Beastman who had come to deliver the message stared at him, his face also expressionless, his tone condescending. "The higher-ups have summoned you to the interrogation room."
The Little White Spider detected a hint of arrogance and schadenfreude in his attitude.
He frowned slightly, closed his door, and headed for the interrogation room.
The moment he stepped through the door of the interrogation room, a whip lashed out and struck him, leaving a bloody gash across his chest and tearing his clothes.
He let out a muffled grunt, already used to it. "Doctor."
The man called Doctor wore a white lab coat. He was thin and slender, a male, but he looked exceptionally delicate and graceful. A faint smile played on his lips, making him look like a gentle, harmless angel.
"Why don’t you explain to me what this pile of rotten flesh you brought back is?" he said.
The Little White Spider glanced at the puddle of flesh thrown on the floor and pursed his lips. "The brood pouch I removed from Bai Su’s abdomen."
The Doctor smiled. "Your professional skills are the best among this group. I don’t think you’re stupid enough to be unable to distinguish between a brood pouch and fake flesh."
A trace of confusion flickered in the Little White Spider’s eyes.
The Doctor pointed at the flesh on the ground. "This puddle of flesh isn’t from Bai Su’s body at all. The muscle fibers are made of some strange material, and we can’t extract any useful information from it whatsoever!"
Hearing this, the Little White Spider fell silent.
For some reason, he felt a sense of relief deep down...
The Doctor sighed again and gently rubbed his head. "Alright, go receive your punishment."
The Little White Spider nodded silently and turned to leave.
He took the elevator to the lowest underground level.
As the elevator doors opened, a chorus of miserable screams echoed from within.
The Little White Spider, long accustomed to it, walked toward the deepest part.
When he emerged again, he was covered in blood, and it was the middle of the night.
The Little White Spider returned to his room, let out a heavy breath, and lay down wearily on his bed, closing his eyes.
Inside his mind, a chip emitted a faint blue glow, silently monitoring his every emotional fluctuation.
The moment it detected any thought of seeking outside help, the chip would take control of his brain.
In the darkness, he slowly raised his hand and looked at the back of it, at the spot that had been burned by a teardrop.
’In the outside world, even the tears of the female he despised most were warm.’
’How nice.’
