How The Little Medical Cultivator Saves the Furries – CH87

Chapter 87

Spiritual energy particles of different colors gathered around Little Shan Lan’s body. Along with each breath he took, they were absorbed into him.

Some of the light particles also gathered at his forehead, lightly striking the point between his brows.

Ye Yumeng’s eyes immediately brightened.

Little Shan Lan had actually achieved resonance with spiritual energy through body refinement?

Healthy Qi Exercise was not an ordinary martial art. Beyond strengthening the body, its greatest effect was actually enhancing one’s sensitivity to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

If practiced together with the Nine Revolutions Spirit Pivot Scripture mental cultivation method, Healthy Qi Exercise could even achieve true body tempering effects.

In the cultivation world, using body-refining techniques to first develop spiritual sensitivity and achieve Qi absorption into the body was an extremely common cultivation path.

Someone like Little Rabbit, who relied purely on self-comprehension, had only succeeded because there had been no other choice.

And yet he still managed to figure it out on his own…

The only thing Ye Yumeng could say was: truly a genius!

Ye Yumeng stopped where he was and carefully observed Little Shan Lan.

During this period, many people had followed him in practicing Healthy Qi Exercise, including some who performed the movements very accurately, like He Jun and Sheng Hao.

Yet none of them had triggered resonance with spiritual energy.

For someone like Little Shan Lan to actually draw spiritual energy through Healthy Qi Exercise could only be described as exceptional talent.

Of course, even with talent, he could only achieve this effect within the spirit plant garden.

In this world where spiritual energy was so thin, truly stepping onto the cultivation path was incredibly difficult.

Among everyone Ye Yumeng had encountered so far, aside from Little Rabbit, only the little lamb, Du Jia, and Little Shan Lan possessed cultivation talent.

Judging by the ratio, children indeed seemed more likely to possess spiritual aptitude.

Little Shan Lan himself remained completely unaware of Ye Yumeng’s gaze.

Right now, he couldn’t multitask at all.

In order to defeat his “archenemy,” he could be said to have used every ounce of effort he had. He had never concentrated this intensely before.

Since he joined midway through, he finished after practicing for several minutes.

However, because the follow-along video on the light screen looped continuously, he naturally started practicing again from the beginning.

Originally, even simply learning one round of Healthy Qi Exercise would leave the little kitten panting heavily after a full set.

But now, after following the routine from start to finish and performing every movement properly, he surprisingly didn’t feel tired at all.

After all, he was still young and hadn’t yet fully mastered controlling his transformed state instinctively. So as he practiced, two cat ears popped out on top of his head again.

The blue-haired little boy with animal ears, completely immersed in his focused practice, looked both adorable and cool at the same time.

Watching Little Shan Lan, the assistant doctor—who had initially frowned because they had trespassed outside the activity zone—suddenly felt his anger dissolve.

He lowered his head and glanced at the adult cat by his feet.

The moment Little Shan Lan rushed out to practice, Sheng Hao had already frozen in shock. Now, sensing the gaze directed at him, he looked up.

Meeting the assistant doctor’s eyes, he could only nod apologetically.

At last, the assistant doctor smiled.

Ah… when a cat was this cute, of course the only option was forgiveness!

Driven by Little Shan Lan’s enthusiasm, the little snow ferret—who had already completed three rounds—actually pushed himself into doing a fourth.

After all, this brat had suddenly rushed over and issued them a “challenge.” As a Blade Warrior, how could he possibly admit defeat so easily?!

Halfway through, the little snow ferret turned his head only to discover that the panda cub had unknowingly stopped and was now sprawled flat on the ground giving up completely.

‘Shen Mingming, what’s wrong with you?’

‘I’m tired. Taking a break.’

Shen Chunming treasured his body very much. Doctor Ye had originally said he only needed to practice once per day, and now he had already accompanied Bai Lele through three rounds—

Even though he moved slowly and never really kept up with the rhythm, at least he had moved.

Today’s exercise quota had already exceeded the limit!

‘Pathetic!’

The little snow ferret ignored him and continued practicing alongside Little Shan Lan.

Meanwhile, the optical computer sphere kept its camera trained on them the entire time, faithfully recording everything.

When the final closing stance ended, Little Shan Lan slowly adjusted his breathing. His cheeks were flushed red, and despite the cold winter morning, he still felt warm all over.

And for some reason, after finishing today’s practice, he felt noticeably more comfortable than after previous sessions.

Little Shan Lan had been sickly and weak since childhood. It was rare for him to feel this energetic and full of strength.

He looked toward the little snow ferret and shot him a provocative glance.

Bai Shuo was nearly angered into laughter. What was wrong with this brat?

“Clap clap clap—”

At that moment, a burst of applause suddenly rang out.

Everyone turned toward the sound, only to discover that Ye Yumeng had somehow appeared nearby.

Riding his mobility device, he swiftly approached before making a cool emergency stop and jumping down.

“Wow!”

Little Shan Lan instantly looked at him with sparkling eyes.

“Brother Ye, you’re amazing!”

Ye Yumeng smiled and rubbed the boy’s head.

“Shanshan, you’re amazing too.”

Looking at the spiritual energy particles gathered around the child—even though Healthy Qi Exercise had already ended, they still hadn’t dispersed.

They would probably linger for a while longer. Only once the energetic aura generated by the exercise completely faded would the spiritual energy particles return to normal.

Hearing Ye Yumeng praise him, Little Shan Lan immediately squinted happily with a grin. His tail also slipped out from under his hospital gown, standing high upright as the tip wagged back and forth.

The little snow ferret tilted his head while watching them.

The panda cub, who had been lying flat on the ground earlier, had already sat back up.

‘I remember now. I think I’ve seen this kid before,’ the little snow ferret suddenly said.

‘You know him?’

‘He should also be one of Doctor Ye’s patients,’ Bai Shuo replied.

The panda cub nodded. He too stared at Little Shan Lan before objectively commenting:

‘He really does practice better than us. He’s a pretty impressive little guy.’

The little snow ferret pouted.

Hmph. If he recovered his human form, he’d definitely perform better than this brat!

Of course, that would basically count as bullying a child, and he wasn’t shameless enough to go that far.

Seeing Ye Yumeng talking with Little Shan Lan, Sheng Hao slowly walked over.

“D-Doctor Ye…”

Sheng Hao lowered his head and greeted him somewhat guiltily.

Actually, Ye Yumeng had already noticed the adult cat from the moment they arrived.

Now hearing him speak, Ye Yumeng couldn’t help laughing.

“So it’s Sheng Hao,” he said.

Sheng Hao lowered his head even further.

Because His Highness had acted on impulse, he hadn’t even had time to change into beast-form clothing…

Although animal fur could technically count as clothing, still…

Facing Doctor Ye’s gaze, Sheng Hao felt somewhat ashamed and embarrassed.

Fortunately, Ye Yumeng quickly shifted his attention away.

Holding Little Shan Lan’s hand, he walked over to the little snow ferret and panda cub.

“You two did great too. Today’s rehabilitation training was completed very seriously.”

Ye Yumeng reached out and rubbed both little ones on the head as well.

At this moment, however, he still hadn’t released Little Shan Lan’s hand.

Watching Ye Yumeng pat the “annoying big white mouse” on the head, Little Shan Lan surprisingly didn’t get angry this time. Instead, his cheeks flushed red as he tightly held onto Ye Yumeng’s hand, his round blue eyes curving into crescent moons from smiling.

“By the way, how did you all end up together?” Ye Yumeng suddenly changed the topic and asked.

The little snow ferret and panda cub immediately looked toward the little boy.

Ye Yumeng also couldn’t help looking at him.

Little Shan Lan had originally been immersed in the happiness of holding hands with Brother Ye, but now that he noticed everyone staring at him, his scalp instantly tightened, and the fur on his tail puffed up.

His eyes darted around nervously as he stammered.

Looking at him, Ye Yumeng said, “Shanshan, this doesn’t seem to be part of your activity area, does it? What did you promise me before?”

Hearing his tone suddenly become serious, Little Shan Lan pouted, and his eyes instantly reddened.

“I… I… I’m sorry…”

Clutching Ye Yumeng’s hand tightly, he whispered softly,

“I promised Brother Ye that I wouldn’t run around everywhere… but I didn’t keep my promise…”

Seeing the child looking as though tears might fall at any moment made him look genuinely pitiful. Ye Yumeng pulled him closer into his arms and gently patted his back.

“Did you come here looking for me?” Ye Yumeng’s voice softened.

“Mhm…”

“Is there somewhere your body feels uncomfortable?”

Ye Yumeng examined him with his Aura Observation Technique.

The child’s body was already stronger than before and was slowly recovering. If he continued practicing Healthy Qi Exercise from now on, his recovery would only accelerate further.

Little Shan Lan had originally intended to nod.

But when he looked up and saw Ye Yumeng’s gentle, clear eyes, he ultimately wiped away his tears with his little hand and chose to tell the truth.

“I saw the video Brother Ye posted…” he said quietly.

Ye Yumeng froze briefly before reacting. He glanced at the little snow ferret and asked,

“The Daily Rehabilitation Training one?”

“Mhm!”

Little Shan Lan nodded. Since things had already been exposed, he no longer felt burdened.

“My Healthy Qi Exercise is better than theirs. I wanted Brother Ye to see…”

Ye Yumeng couldn’t help nodding.

That was actually true.

“But you could have called me instead of running around recklessly. And Sheng Hao…”

He turned to look at the adult cat crouching nearby.

The moment he was named, all the fur on the cat instantly exploded outward, turning him into a giant fluffball.

Ye Yumeng paused briefly before continuing,

“You should’ve stopped Shanshan too. This isn’t a place you can casually wander into.”

It was rare for him to sound this stern.

The big cat and little cat both lowered their heads obediently.

“Alright. I’ll have the robotic caretaker escort you back first.”

Then Ye Yumeng instructed Little Shan Lan again,

“When you go back, continue practicing properly.”

Little Shan Lan nodded dejectedly.

“I’ll make time to visit you tomorrow, so you need to behave yourself.”

Ye Yumeng patted the top of his head.

The moment he heard those words, Little Shan Lan’s eyes instantly lit up.

“Okay okay! I’ll definitely behave from now on! I’ll wait for Brother Ye to come see me!”

Unable to wait any longer, he immediately grabbed Sheng Hao and followed the robotic caretaker away.

Watching them disappear down the end of the path, Ye Yumeng withdrew his gaze.

True enough, Little Shan Lan was extremely talented, and Ye Yumeng genuinely liked the child. It would be false to say he felt nothing.

But…

Ye Yumeng hadn’t forgotten that they came from another nation.

And after all, this was Yaokin Empire territory, while he himself had already become deeply tied to the Yaokin Empire.

So…

Stepping back onto his mobility device, he flew toward Little Rabbit’s room.
