Healing S-Class Beasts Made Me the Empire's Treasure

The beautiful female’s stubborn cluelessness had the three males grinding their teeth in frustration.

But they were also afraid that if they annoyed her, she’d just find some other male, so they had no choice but to lie low and watch from the shadows.

Meanwhile, at the Science Research Institute, Yu Lan was conducting the final examination for a male’s spiritual power collapse.

"Congratulations, your spiritual power collapse level has been successfully lowered to 89%."

"You can pack up and go home today."

"If you feel unwell at all moving forward, you can contact me anytime."

The beautiful female’s voice was clear and bright, her features sweet.

At that moment, sunlight streamed through the glass window and fell upon her hair, bathing the beautiful woman in a golden light. The male from the Mad Hero Institute stared in a daze, as if he were seeing an angel.

’Otherwise, how could they, who had already been sentenced to death by fate, now be regaining their freedom?’

"I... I..." The voice of the male before her trembled. He clearly wanted to say something, but in the end, under the gaze of Yu Lan’s smiling eyes, he fell silent.

’Obviously, he had already learned from his conversations with the other males in the Mad Hero Institute that Lady Yu Lan was currently focused solely on the development of the Hope Potion. She had no interest in romance and no intention of taking a Male Servant.’

’Besides, Lady Yu Lan was so exceptional.’

’There were bound to be many more, much better males pursuing her.’

’Given their status, even just being a lowly Male Servant and getting to see Lady Yu Lan once a month would be a great fortune.’

The male finished packing his things. As he took the final step out of the Mad Hero Institute’s main gate, he turned to look back at the dark place, partitioned into what looked like prison cells.

Now, not a single male was left inside. All of them had successfully lowered their spiritual power collapse levels to below 90% and regained their freedom.

He was the last one permitted to leave.

He’d heard Lady Yu Lan say it would be converted into a special storage facility for the Science Research Institute’s medicines. There would be no Mad Hero Institute anymore.

He couldn’t help his eyes from growing moist.

’He would remember for the rest of his life that such an exceptional female, Lady Yu Lan, had once appeared in it.’

’Not even death could make him forget.’

Watching the male from the Mad Hero Institute leave, Shen Zueran let out a slight sigh of relief.

’He had finally sent all of Yu Lan’s rabid fans away.’

During this period, the Hope Potion that Yu Lan developed was a male soothing agent that could perfectly replace a female in calming a male during his rut.

It lowered the level of their spiritual power collapse.

Because of this, she had earned the frenzied adoration of every male in the Mad Hero Institute.

Every day, men would kneel to profess their love, lingering at the main gate of the Science Research Institute, refusing to leave. The sight made Shen Zueran’s teeth ache with frustration.

’It wasn’t even his turn yet; what right did this crowd have?’

’But he was also terrified. There was no shortage of outstanding males from the Mad Hero Institute—young, handsome, and dashing.’

’He was terrified that Yu Lan might suddenly be tempted to give one of them a try. If that happened, it would be too late for tears.’

’Thankfully, thankfully.’

Just then, Yu Lan strode over to Shen Zueran’s side, her voice bright.

"Director, the last male from the Mad Hero Institute has been successfully sent off."

"The Hope Potion is a success. Our line of research was the right one."

"If we continue our research, I believe we’ll soon be able to provide the Hope Potion to all males, so they no longer have to suffer through the torment of their ruts."

"I have over five hundred case files here. Take a look..."

After each male from the Mad Hero Institute used the Hope Potion, Yu Lan would meticulously record the relevant data.

The report she now handed to Shen Zueran was not only substantive but also concise and clear, making it exceptionally easy to read.

Shen Zueran grunted in acknowledgment and was just about to say something when...

Suddenly, the laboratory door was pushed open from the outside.

"D-Director."

"The Queen... Her Majesty the Queen has summoned Lanlan."

"The Royal Guard is already downstairs! You have to go immediately."

"What?"

Shen Zueran shot up from his chair, his expression darkening.

Yu Lan frowned as well.

’Even though the Queen was her biological mother, since transmigrating here, she had only met her once. That was during the Dark Planet’s surprise attack on the Thirteen District. The Queen, afraid she would bother Huo Zhanting and Su Xingye, had summoned her just to give her a scolding.’

’Why now...?’

Before Yu Lan could make sense of it, the lab assistant who had rushed in to deliver the news quickly explained the whole situation.

His face was filled with unconcealable joy.

"Director, Lanlan, this is great news!"

"The Queen must be summoning you to bestow a reward."

"The two of you developed the Hope Potion, which allowed all the males in the Mad Hero Institute to lower their spiritual power collapse to below 90% and regain their freedom. Right now, the discussion about the Hope Potion on the Star Network has gone completely wild."

"Everyone’s asking when the potion will be released to the public."

"What? How do people on the Star Network know about the Hope Potion?"

Yu Lan immediately pulled out her terminal to check the news online.

She and Shen Zueran had been so busy with their research lately, constantly adjusting data parameters in hopes of achieving the best possible results.

They hadn’t paid any attention to the Star Network at all.

The moment she logged onto the Star Network, the number one trending topic was:

#HopePotion#

followed by #AllMalesFromTheMadHeroInstituteRegainFreedom#

She clicked on it and saw that the comment section was filled with people hyping up the Hope Potion, singing the praises of its developer, Yu Lan, and begging for it to be released as soon as possible.

"How do they know so much about what goes on at the Science Research Institute?"

Yu Lan was completely stunned and confused.

The lab assistant hurriedly explained:

"Lanlan, Director, you’ve been too busy with research to check the Star Network, so you don’t know."

"One of the males you released from the Mad Hero Institute is a reporter for the Empire’s interstellar news service."

"He had accompanied the First Legion to the Thirteen District, and his spiritual power collapsed while fighting the enemy."

"After being released a few days ago, he immediately wrote an eight-thousand-word article praising you, and it instantly sparked a massive debate."

"Everyone started looking into it and discovered that basically all the males from the Mad Hero Institute had been released, and that’s how it all started..."

At this, the lab assistant’s eyes shone brightly as he looked at Yu Lan.

He was a lab assistant at the Science Research Institute.

But more than that, he was a male.

No one knew better than him the agony of a rut arriving with no female for comfort, of the spiritual power collapse that could only be suppressed by force with a soothing agent.

And now Yu Lan, a female herself, had developed a potion that could serve as a substitute for a female’s comfort.

How could he not admire her for it?

At this thought, the lab assistant’s tone grew urgent.

"Lanlan, you should hurry downstairs."

"Her Majesty the Queen must have heard about what you’ve done and sent her guards specifically to bring you in for a reward."

On the Central Star, among all the great noble houses, there was not a single one with the surname Yu.

Recalling that Yu Lan had originally applied for the job only because of the high salary offered by the Science Research Institute, everyone had secretly speculated that Lady Yu Lan must have come from a Remote Star and that her family wasn’t wealthy.

But now she had made such a monumental contribution, saving all males, in a sense. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Every year, tens of millions of males across the interstellar domain died from spiritual power collapse because they had no female to soothe them during their ruts.

Now, they could all live.

Her Majesty the Queen’s reward would surely be generous.

The lab assistant sincerely hoped Yu Lan would have a good life.

But Yu Lan’s heart couldn’t help but pound in her chest.

’Was Queen Belina really summoning her just to give her a reward?’
