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

This was the moment the crowd’s guilt toward Yu Lan reached its absolute peak.

This extreme guilt was a sharp blade, ready to instantly shred anyone who had tried to bully or plot against Yu Lan.

Louisa, wasn’t it satisfying to watch the crowd spew vicious words at Yu Lan?

Well, now it’s your turn to face it all.

So, how will you turn the tables now?

Durant’s accusation was so swift and sudden that it gave Louisa no chance to react.

At the trial, the judgmental gazes of everyone present—and the billions more watching the live broadcast—all converged on her.

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Louisa’s forehead.

It was only at this very moment

that she finally realized just how formidable Yu Lan was—to have faced all of this and still had the energy to argue with the Chief Justice and prove her own innocence.

"I... I..."

Louisa stammered for a long moment, utterly at a loss for words.

The gentle, kind mask she always wore was on the verge of shattering.

Having witnessed true kindness and gentleness, the crowd now looked at Louisa and saw for the first time just how hypocritical the smile on the Empire’s foremost princess truly was.

After a long moment, Louisa’s voice was finally heard again.

"I think there must be some misunderstanding."

But the citizens of the interstellar Empire, their hearts filled with extreme anger and guilt, no longer wanted to hear her explanations. They started searching for the truth themselves.

Soon enough,

with some intentional help from Mrs. Li and Huo Zhanting,

the truth was quickly laid out before everyone.

[So Yu Lan is actually that Princess who was found not long ago.]

[But because she inexplicably lost her Healing Power, the Royal Family was deeply ashamed and never made a public announcement.]

[No wonder! No wonder Louisa targeted Yu Lan. In terms of status, Yu Lan is Queen Belina’s biological child, while Louisa is just adopted.]

[In terms of power, even though Yu Lan lost her Healing Power, she invented the Hope Potion, which is even more dazzling than having a High Level Healing Power.]

[So Louisa got scared and tried to slander Yu Lan. It’s simply unforgivable.]

[AHHHH, how can someone be so vicious! How is she fit to be a Princess? I’m saying it right here, I will never support Louisa as the next Queen. If I have to choose, I only support Yu Lan.]

[Me too. I only support Yu Lan.]

As discussions raged on the Star Network, the audience at the trial grew even more agitated and vocal; after all, they were physically close to Louisa.

"Step down! Step down! Step down!"

"Louisa, step down!"

"Louisa, step down!"

"Step down, step down, step down!"

A continuous barrage of water bottles and miscellaneous junk flew toward Louisa. Someone even took off their shoe on the spot and hurled it at her like a madman.

Faced with the seething, furious audience, even Queen Belina, seated high in the stands, was caught in the crossfire.

Her expression was uglier than it had ever been.

With an angry flick of her wrist, she commanded:

"Return to the palace."

Escorted by the Royal Guard, Louisa and Belina made their retreat, more disgraced than they had ever been.

But after this incident,

Yu Lan had truly won the hearts of the people.

It would be incredibly difficult for Louisa to ever drag her down again.

As long as the Hope Potion existed, and with the public’s overwhelming guilt, Yu Lan would forever be their "white moonlight"—an unattainable, perfect ideal.

To have hundreds answer her call would be a simple matter now.

「Meanwhile」

While Yu Lan was facing her trial...

「Li Family Castle」

A furtive figure, clutching a bottle of Strong Male Induction Agent, slipped into Li Yucheng’s room.

The instant the person entered, the Black Panther lying inside the iron cage noticed.

A cold glint flashed in its deep blue, bestial eyes.

The cold, ruthless Black Panther rose languidly from the floor, unleashing the unsparing pressure of an apex predator.

The intruder, who had snuck in to do mischief, was instantly terrified, dropping to his knees as cold sweat poured down his back.

Just as Li Yucheng, his gaze scornful and icy, was about to deal with the intruder, the kneeling man hastily spoke up.

"Miss Yu sent me."

"Don’t kill me! Miss Yu sent me!"

The sun was setting, its fading light reflecting in the Black Panther’s deep blue eyes.

The cold, rebellious aura within them instantly vanished. Thinking of the young female who was late for their meeting, Li Yucheng’s voice rang out, full of impatience.

"What did she tell you? What did she send you here to do?"

Li Yucheng barely concealed his eagerness.

A smug smile touched the lips of the kneeling man, and a wave of malice emanated from him.

But Li Yucheng was completely oblivious.

The man slowly pulled the bottle of Strong Male Induction Agent from his clothes and presented it to Li Yucheng.

His voice, dripping with malice, slowly began:

"My lady says that a useless male like you, unable to even shift into human form, should have the decency to just die."

"Every single second she spends with you fills her with utter disgust."

"That promise? It was just a lie to fool you."

"You weren’t actually stupid enough to believe it, were you?"

"Impossible... Impossible! Lanlan would never do this to me."

An angry, clamorous roar erupted from the Black Panther.

He began to slam his head violently against the iron bars of the cage.

’No, that’s not right. Lanlan didn’t say that.’

’Impossible, impossible.’

’Lanlan isn’t that kind of person.’

’She clearly likes me... She hugged me, she kissed me...’

"No... no... no..."

As if stunned by the news, the Black Panther kept backing away until he was pressed against the far side of the cage.

Only then did his wildly pounding heart begin to slow. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

But

the man, specifically sent by Louisa to stir up conflict between the Li Family and Yu Lan, wasn’t about to let up.

The man, holding the Strong Male Induction Agent, slipped right into the cage and began to advance on Li Yucheng.

In his other hand, he held out a blanket stolen from Yu Lan’s villa, which was saturated with the sweet, soft scent of a female.

Li Yucheng’s pained struggles ceased.

His deep blue, bestial eyes stared intently at the blanket, which looked incredibly soft and warm.

The next second,

the malicious voice rang out again.

"I’m sure you can smell it."

"It’s covered in Miss Yu’s scent. She gave it to me herself as proof."

"Every moment with you is so nauseating that the mere thought of it is like a fishbone in her throat, jolting her awake from nightmares."

"You like her, don’t you? Then just go die."

"Once you’re dead, our Miss Yu can finally sleep in peace."

"Young Master Li, the choice is yours."

With that, the man set down the Strong Male Induction Agent and the blanket saturated with Yu Lan’s scent, then slowly backed out of the cage.

He left Li Yucheng alone, silently staring at the scene before him.
