How The Little Medical Cultivator Saves the Furries – CH95

Chapter 95

Panda Cub suddenly bursting into tears startled everyone present except Lu Nanzhou.

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

His good brother Bai Shuo hurriedly jumped down from Little Shan Lan’s shoulder and rushed to Shen Chunming’s side.

Sitting on the ground, Panda Cub covered his eyes with his paws, continuously wiping away tears. He had originally wanted to endure it, but once Little Snow Ferret asked, he could no longer hold back.

In the end, he simply gave up trying.

The panda cub sobbed loudly, venting the emotions bottled up in his heart.

Little Shan Lan was startled too.

Squatting beside Panda Cub, he looked him over worriedly.

Was his body hurting too badly?

‘Shen Mingming, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me!’ Bai Shuo was nowhere near as polite to Little Shan Lan. One paw clung to Panda Cub while he shook him vigorously.

Of course, because of the huge difference in their body sizes—and because Little Snow Ferret was not very strong right now—he could not actually shake him much.

Sniffling and wiping his tears, Shen Chunming raised his head and glanced at Lu Nanzhou.

With years of tacit understanding between them, Lu Nanzhou instantly understood what he meant without him needing to say anything.

He sighed inwardly, but still nodded.

So Shen Chunming said to Little Snow Ferret:

‘Lele, that’s His Majesty. Don’t you recognize him?’

‘Huh? His Majesty?’

Little Snow Ferret froze.

‘Who are you talking about?’

‘Who else could I be talking about?’

Hearing Shen Chunming’s words, Bai Shuo’s currently not-so-bright brain finally processed things.

He slowly turned his head mechanically, his gaze landing on the pocket rabbit.

Long ears… rabbit… golden eyes…

‘Your Majesty?’

Little Snow Ferret’s voice rang beside Lu Nanzhou’s ear.

‘Is… is it really you?’

Lu Nanzhou truly did not want to answer that question.

But seeing the aggrieved, watery look in Little Snow Ferret’s eyes, he ultimately still replied:

‘It’s me.’

That familiar voice sounded beside Bai Shuo’s ear once more.

Calm and detached.

Not particularly gentle.

Yet it was the very voice that had brought them hope countless times in hopeless situations.

Bai Shuo was the youngest member of the Blade Squad and also the last to join.

By the time he entered the war, the conflict had already reached its fiercest stage. Every battle was fought with extreme difficulty because the Zerg evolved far too quickly.

It was a speed humanity simply could not keep up with.

Every day, countless people died in the mouths of the Zerg.

Every day brought endless casualties and sacrifices…

Those despair-filled days were scars no one could ever forget. Sometimes Bai Shuo still woke from nightmares crying.

That was why, after discovering the planet where the Broodmother was located, His Majesty had decided to take the risk and lead them deep into the Zerg nest to carry out a decapitation strike.

In the end, they succeeded.

Bai Shuo had never regretted following His Majesty into that battle. None of the eleven Blade warriors had ever regretted it.

But the fact that His Majesty stayed behind to withstand the planetary explosion in order to save them—leaving him gravely wounded and near death—became a hurdle no one could overcome in their hearts.

Among them, the one who blamed himself most was undoubtedly Bai Shuo.

Because he had been the one responsible for covering the retreat.

His spatial ability allowed him to tear open rifts and send his teammates to safety.

The number of people he could transport depended on the distance.

At that time, the entire planet had been detonated. The only safe destination was outer space, but they had already been severely injured after fighting through the hive against the Zerg swarm.

Even exhausting every last ounce of his strength, Bai Shuo could only send away one person.

Naturally, he wanted to send His Majesty away.

However, His Majesty had raised the Profound Flame barrier, and before Bai Shuo could react, he had thrown him directly into the spatial rift.

Bai Shuo was transported into outer space, suffering only the aftereffects of the planet’s explosion, so his injuries ended up being the lightest among all the members.

Yet his mental regression was the most severe.

Probably because, deep down, he had never been able to face that moment.

Unable to face his own retreat from the battlefield.

He had been the deserter who escaped, leaving His Majesty and all his teammates behind.

When he woke again on Medical Star and learned everything that had happened, guilt and shame nearly drowned him whole.

Perhaps only by forgetting that painful memory and becoming a carefree child could he continue living on.

After all, his life had been given to him by His Majesty, and only His Majesty had the right to decide whether he lived or died.

And now—

Little Snow Ferret stared blankly at Lu Nanzhou.

He could feel His Majesty’s aura. Compared to when he had secretly sneaked to the top-floor hospital room to visit him before, it was much stronger now.

Crack—

It was as though a crisp sound rang out.

The chains locking his heart suddenly split open with a crack.

The emotions and fragments of memories that had been sealed away began leaking through the fissure.

Plop. Plop.

Large tears rolled from Little Snow Ferret’s eyes.

A bad premonition rose in Lu Nanzhou’s heart.

Sure enough, in the very next second, Little Snow Ferret let out a wail and burst into tears alongside Shen Chunming.

He cried heartbreakingly hard, startling Panda Cub so badly that he even forgot to cry himself.

“Wuuuuh—”

“Wuuuuh—”

Little Snow Ferret sobbed loudly while shouting into Lu Nanzhou’s ear through tears.

‘Your Majesty, are you really better now?’

‘I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you immediately…’

Back when Little Snow Ferret had gone to visit His Majesty in the top-floor hospital room, he had only been allowed to remain outside the door and had never actually seen His Majesty lying on the bed.

Although he had seen him once in the activity room, that memory had already become blurry.

He only remembered that His Majesty had become very tiny, and like Brother Yu and the others, his whole body had been charred black.

Now, looking at the pink little rabbit nestled inside Doctor Ye’s pocket, he still could not connect him to the majestic and awe-inspiring emperor from before, but…

‘Your fur can still grow back, right?’

‘It definitely can, right? Shen Mingming’s already started growing back. Yours will definitely recover soon too… wuuuuh…’

‘That’s wonderful… you’re okay… we were so worried these past few days we couldn’t even eat properly… wuuuuh…’

Little Snow Ferret cried louder and louder.

Lu Nanzhou: “……”

Meanwhile, Panda Cub—who had finally stopped crying—started sobbing all over again after seeing him like this.

Little Snow Ferret and Panda Cub hugged each other and cried in a tangled heap.

Little Shan Lan looked completely at a loss.

Even though he had no idea what was going on, his mouth slowly drooped too, and tears began falling from his eyes as well.

Ye Yumeng knew about the relationship between Little Snow Ferret’s group and the little rabbit, so although he was surprised by how hard they cried, he could understand it.

But why was Little Shan Lan crying too?

“Shanshan, why are you crying too?” Ye Yumeng gently rubbed his head and asked softly.

“They’re all crying too… wuuuuh…”

Although Little Shan Lan disliked the “big white rat,” after practicing together these past few days, he had already started considering them companions.

Seeing them cry so sadly now made him unable to stop feeling miserable too.

Soon, he burst into loud sobs as well.

Ye Yumeng and the assistant doctor were both thrown into helpless confusion.

Even He Jun and the others hiding nearby as guards were hesitating over whether they should step out to comfort them.

As warriors most loyal to His Majesty, they understood Shen Chunming’s and Bai Shuo’s feelings very well.

But duty bound them, so they could not simply let their emotions run wild.

At the same time, their reverence toward Doctor Ye rose once again.

If Doctor Ye wanted their lives, they would offer them up without hesitation!

Ye Yumeng had no idea the hidden guards’ gazes toward him had become even more fervent.

He lowered his head to look at the little rabbit in his pocket.

????-_-????

Seeing that expression, Ye Yumeng almost laughed, but he worked hard to hold it in.

After much difficulty, the crying finally subsided.

All three little ones had cried themselves exhausted.

Little Shan Lan had turned back into his kitten form midway through, mewing and crying all the while.

At this moment, the calico kitten and the snow-white ferret were both curled up in the arms of the black-and-white Panda Cub.

Shen Chunming had been the first to cry, but also the first to stop.

After all, his mental regression was not as severe as Bai Shuo’s, and Bai Shuo had originally been the youngest among them anyway—he would not even be considered an adult for another two years.

So crying a little longer was understandable.

Panda Cub comfortingly patted both little companions.

The kitten and the ferret cried until they eventually fell asleep against his fluffy belly.

Although perhaps a little inappropriate, Ye Yumeng truly thought the scene was unbearably adorable.

He secretly took out his communicator and snapped a picture.

Being able to cry things out was a good thing.

It was better to cry out all the bad emotions than keep them bottled up forever.

Then Ye Yumeng looked at the assistant doctor and said,

“Please take them to the treatment room. I’ll go check on them later.”

“Understood, Doctor Ye.”

Watching the assistant doctor and robot orderly carry the three little ones away, Ye Yumeng lowered his head to look at the little rabbit in his pocket.

The little rabbit was also looking up at him.

Those golden eyes shone brilliantly beneath the sunlight.

Ye Yumeng could not help saying,

“I didn’t expect your bond to be this close.”

Panda Cub and Little Snow Ferret had clearly been crying tears of joy.

It was obvious they cared about the little rabbit deeply.

Lu Nanzhou did not know how to respond to that statement, so he chose silence.

“Do you want to go see the rest of your companions in the treatment room?” Ye Yumeng asked.

Lu Nanzhou immediately shook his head.

Ye Yumeng laughed.

“That’s true. Otherwise they’ll probably cry all over again after seeing you.”

“……”

Shen Chunming and Bai Shuo were more emotional, so crying was understandable.

But the others… surely not, right?

Imagining that scene, Lu Nanzhou suddenly developed a headache.
