Healing a Fallen S-Rank Beastman: Everyone Fights Over the Little Female Chapter 30: Staying Up Late

When Hans entered, he found that no lights were on in the vast study. Only the moonlight shone through the window, casting a cold, desolate glow.

Her Majesty the Queen, her white hair stark, sat on a chair holding a glass of red wine. Upon seeing him, Her Majesty gently swirled the wine in her glass. "Long ti no see, Hans. You look like you’re doing well."

"Thanks to your blessing, Your Majesty. I’ve co today on urgent business. I truly did not wish to disturb your rest, so I ask for Your Majesty’s forgiveness."

"What is it?"

"It’s like this: the Fifth Research Institute has a new therapist. The S-Class males she’s treated—though the most severe case was only Early Interdiate—have shown the possibility of being cured. As soon as I saw their treatnt records, I ca to see you imdiately." As he spoke, Hans presented the prepared docunts to Her Majesty the Queen.

The Queen, who had seed utterly uninterested, finally showed a flicker of interest. "Now this is sothing new."

The Queen reached out, took the docunts, and read them page by page. Throughout the process, Hans stood silently to the side with his eyes lowered, not daring to make a sound and disturb her.

Until finally: "Who is she?"

"Lu Xiao. She just recently joined the Fifth Research Institute, and her clinic’s application was only just approved. Teacher Ai Li was the one who requested we send people to her, specifying that two S-Class Early Stage males should be scheduled for treatnt daily. I originally thought it was a rare opportunity. I figured that regardless of the outco, if a therapist was willing, the S-Class Shelter certainly wouldn’t pass up the chance. I never expected to see such results after reviewing their treatnt records."

"Hmm, it looks promising for now, but it’s not enough. You may go. Don’t concern yourself with it for the ti being. When a fully cured case appears, co find then." After returning the docunts to Hans, Her Majesty the Queen wore an expression that clearly ant for him to leave.

Hans didn’t dare to linger and quickly turned to leave.

Although the Queen hadn’t given her imdiate endorsent, Hans had achieved his goal.

He had co this ti precisely to get the Queen’s approval to proceed.

If this Healer Lu’s treatnt plan could truly cure an S-Class male, it would be enough to prove that an S-Class Spirit Sea danger assessnt was not a terminal diagnosis.

It would only require females to be willing to perform Spiritual Soothing for males.

If the Empire was willing to implent policies regarding this matter, then his goal would be accomplished.

But he knew very well that all of this required results.

And the result had to be soone being cured and walking out of the S-Class Shelter.

Before, there was no hope, so there were no expectations.

But now, Lu Xiao had shown them hope!

He had to seize it!

When Ares woke up in the morning and saw it was already bright outside, he was stunned for a mont.

Ever since Lu Xiao started performing Spiritual Soothing for him every day, his sleep had been consistently good. He almost never had nightmares anymore, but he would still wake up and find it difficult to fall back asleep.

Even so, it was so much better than before that he had felt full of vigor every day recently.

But now, looking out the window, he realized he had actually slept through the entire night.

No nightmares, no waking up in the middle of the night. He had slept soundly all night long.

His Spirit Sea was as calm as it had been during the period just after his awakening.

There was no pain, no clamoring voices, and no restlessness. The tranquility felt like a rebirth.

He now felt an urgent need to get tested. He was sure his spiritual danger assessnt level must have dropped.

It was all because of Lu Xiao.

So when Lu Xiao ca downstairs, she found that after just one night apart, the way Ares looked at her was different. How to describe it? A little... scorching.

If the old Ares had been reserved, the current one was a bit too direct.

It was a little much for her to handle.

She raised a hand to cover her lips and coughed softly. "Morning, Ares. You look like you’re in good spirits today. Did you sleep well last night?"

"Very well. I also wanted to tell you, I slept through the entire night. I didn’t wake up once, and I didn’t have any nightmares. Lu Xiao, I think my spiritual danger assessnt level has dropped. When I go to the military district later, can I get it tested?"

Ever since she began performing Spiritual Soothing for Ares, Lu Xiao had been keeping daily records of his condition.

Now, hearing him say this, Lu Xiao’s spirits instantly lifted too. "Really!"

’It seems what I sensed last night wasn’t my imagination.’

’It’s even highly likely that my theory is correct.’

Males releasing their emotions is a great help to their unstable Spirit Seas.

"Ares, after you get tested, you have to tell the results right away."

"I will."

Both Ares and Lu Xiao were very happy about this prospect.

So much so that when Ares dropped Lu Xiao off at the Fifth Research Institute, as she opened the car door to get out, she specifically reminded him not to forget about the test.

Lu Xiao was clearly very much looking forward to the results.

Lu Xiao’s good mood was plain to see.

When Teacher Ai Li saw her co in, she imdiately asked, "What’s the good news? You seem to be in such a good mood today."

"It is good news. Ares’s condition has improved," Lu Xiao didn’t hide it.

She was genuinely happy for Ares, and at the sa ti, happy about her own theory.

Teacher Ai Li knew Ares was Lu Xiao’s side husband. Hearing this, she asked in surprise, "You’ve been giving him Spiritual Soothing?"

"I give him an hour of Spiritual Soothing every day. It’s been very effective."

Lu Xiao said it casually, but that’s not how it sounded to Teacher Ai Li at all. "So, you’re saying you treat two S-Class patients here every day, and then you go ho and perform Spiritual Soothing for your side husband, Ares? Darling, are you insane?"

"..." Lu Xiao found that Teacher Ai Li always managed to get to the point. "It’s not a burden for . Look, I’m in great shape right now!"

"No, darling, you’re not. Look, you have dark circles under your eyes!" Teacher Ai Li pointed below her eyes. "So you must stop imdiately. You need to think about your own health."

Lu Xiao’s heart skipped a beat. ’How could I forget I stayed up all night writing my novel!’

"That’s not..."

"You must rest when you go ho today. Otherwise, you won’t continue treating the patients from the S-Class Shelter. Pick one!" Teacher Ai Li looked at her disapprovingly, as if she would enforce it imdiately if Lu Xiao didn’t agree.

Lu Xiao wiped her face and said in a small voice, "I promise I’ll get a good rest tonight, alright?"

"I want to see those dark circles gone by tomorrow!"

Lu Xiao nodded with extra seriousness, but what she was really thinking was, ’I wonder if I can get rid of them with the Treatnt Device when I get ho.’

’If not, I could also use my purification power to clear them up.’

After placating Teacher Ai Li, Lu Xiao hugged her record book and went to her clinic.

Outside the door, the military escorts were already waiting with two patients.

Lu Xiao walked over quickly. "Next ti you arrive early, you can check if I’m in the office. If I am, just give a call. Leave one patient waiting outside, and have the other co in. Don’t put the helt on him!"
