Healing a Fallen S-Rank Beastman: Everyone Fights Over the Little Female Chapter 198: Message

When Lu Xiao saw the two words "C Luo," her slightly foggy mind instantly cleared.

Just to be sure she wasn’t seeing things, Lu Xiao read it over several more tis.

Once she confird that the ssage was, without a doubt, from C Luo, Lu Xiao’s expression imdiately turned serious.

Selena, who had been watching her closely, noticed her change in deanor and couldn’t help but ask, "What is it, Xiao Xiao? Did sothing happen?"

Lu Xiao wasn’t sure how to explain, so she just offered Selena a small smile. "It’s a small matter. I just need to let my father know."

She forwarded the ssage to Admiral Clan’s terminal, confident that as soon as he saw who the sender was, he would understand everything.

’What I don’t get is, what could C Luo possibly have left at that address? What could he have that I would want?’

The only thing she could think of was the rumored serum from the Black Tower that could supposedly cure S-Class males. But after witnessing firsthand how that stuff was extracted, Lu Xiao had completely dismissed the thought.

’So for C Luo to contact her out of the blue and send a ssage like this... it really made her wonder about his motives.’

Before she could sort out her thoughts, a voice call ca through from Admiral Clan. Lu Xiao answered, and Clan’s worried voice ca over the line. "Xiao Xiao, where are you right now?"

"I’m with my aunt. We planned a day out to relax. Father, did you see the ssage?"

"I saw it. That’s why I’m worried about their motives. They knew you would contact the mont you received it, yet they still had the gall to send it to you. It’s probably because of what’s been happening with the S-Class Shelter. Lu Xiao, you must be extrely careful. I’m worried they have other goals in mind."

Lu Xiao understood what Admiral Clan was worried about. She didn’t understand C Luo’s purpose either. He had to have known that she would never go to that address herself—or at all—after receiving the ssage, yet he sent it anyway.

’It was as if he didn’t care what she did with the information. He just wanted to give her... whatever it was.’

Selena, who had been listening from the side, finally couldn’t hold back any longer. "What in the world is going on?"

Lu Xiao had no choice but to give Selena a brief, clear explanation of what had happened. After hearing the story, Selena’s brow furrowed. "Those Black Tower thugs really have so nerve. Don’t be scared, Xiao Xiao. Besides the n your father assigned to you, I brought my own people along today as well."

’Lu Xiao hadn’t expected Selena to have made such preparations.’

Once she had finished, Admiral Clan spoke up. "You two shouldn’t stay out any longer. Go ho. I’ve already sent people to check out that address. I’ll contact you again when I have news, Xiao Xiao."

"Alright, Father. Thank you for everything." After ending the call with Admiral Clan, Lu Xiao stood up and followed Selena to get changed. "I’m so sorry, Auntie. I was having such a wonderful day with you. I never thought sothing like this would happen."

"What are you apologizing for? It’s not like you could have stopped this from happening. If you’re going to bla anyone, bla them. There’s no reason to bla yourself. Besides, we’ll have plenty of ti to spend together. If today wasn’t perfect, there’s always next ti, and the ti after that. What’s the rush!"

Hearing her words, Lu Xiao smiled and gave Selena a hug. "Auntie, why don’t you have Uncle and his family co over tonight? I’ll cook. Yes, invite them all!"

"Oh, I don’t know. Wouldn’t that be too much work for you?" Selena said, putting on an act, though inwardly she was already very excited.

Lu Xiao chuckled. "What work? Cooking is a hobby for . It’s how I relax. So it’s settled."

"If you insist, then I won’t be polite!"

"Please don’t be, Auntie."

After settling things with Selena, Lu Xiao went into the changing room. By the ti she ca out, Selena had already contacted Kelin and told him to bring their young son straight to the house after work.

Once Lu Xiao was back in the car with her, she also sent ssages to Lu Huan and Lu Yu, telling them to co to the Duke Garieldo Mansion for dinner that evening.

On the way back, Selena drove with exceptional steadiness. At the sa ti, Lu Xiao noticed other hover cars flanking them outside the windows.

Noticing her gaze, Selena explained, "I called them. Just in case so idiots decide to get cocky."

Lu Xiao was deeply moved by Selena’s words.

’You can tell if soone is genuine not by what they say, but by what they do.’

’Selena hadn’t offered many words of comfort, but her actions gave Lu Xiao all the security she needed.’

Back at the mansion, Cecilia had already heard the whole story from Admiral Clan. The mont she saw Lu Xiao and Selena walk in, she rushed over and took Lu Xiao by the hand. "Those villains! Why won’t they just leave you alone? Honestly... You must have been so scared, Xiao Xiao. Don’t worry, you’re safest here with your grandmother. They wouldn’t dare cause trouble at the Duke Garieldo Mansion unless they have a death wish."

Feeling her grandmother’s worry, Lu Xiao smiled and hugged her. "Grandmother, don’t worry. I’m fine. Auntie had people escort us back, and Father has also assigned people to watch over . Oh, and I just told Auntie that I’m going to cook dinner for everyone tonight!

"

"At a ti like this, you’re still making Xiao Xiao cook!" Cecilia exclaid, imdiately swatting Selena on the shoulder.

Selena feigned innocence. "Mother, you’re blaming again? Don’t I have even a shred of credibility with you?"

Seeing the misunderstanding, Lu Xiao quickly took Cecilia’s hand. "Grandmother, it was my idea. Yes, sothing happened, but we can’t just live in fear. We have to keep living our lives. We’ll deal with whatever cos our way. To hell with them!

"

She hadn’t expected Lu Xiao to be so resilient. Any other young female would probably have been scared to death by such an incident.

Yet here was Lu Xiao, still in the mood to personally cook a delicious al for everyone.

Cecilia gently stroked Lu Xiao’s head. "Alright. If this is what you want to do, then go do it. Your grandmother will always support you!"

Hearing this, Selena couldn’t help but roll her eyes. "Mother, your favoritism is getting a little out of hand. I’m still here, you know. Have you no consideration for my feelings?"

"You’re almost eighty years old and you still want to dote on you? In your dreams!" Cecilia raised her hand, threatening to strike if Selena kept talking. Selena shuffled backward but couldn’t resist a cheeky retort. "If I’m eighty, Mother, then you should be calling Big Sister!"

Cecilia froze for a second, then, realizing the outrageousness of what Selena had just said, she began scanning the room, clearly looking for a suitable weapon.

Selena, all too familiar with this scene, bolted for the door. "I’ll go see if my brother is here yet!"

"Get back here, you little rascal! You want to call you Big Sister? See if I don’t beat the daylights out of you today!"
