Lu Xi's brain was working overtime, his CPU nearly overheating.
What was this girl's relationship with the General?
Qiqi? Such an intimate nickname for the General, right?
Could it be that the General had secretly developed a romantic relationship?
Didn't the General despise feline beast people the most?
Wasn't the General known for being cold and abstinent, devoted only to the battlefield?
Countless thoughts flashed through Lu Xi's mind, ultimately culminating in a crushing sense of disappointment that "his idol was falling in love and would no longer belong to him."
While Lu Xi was still in disbelief, Yun Manman had already transformed back into her human form. She quickly picked up the small snake and placed it on a clean towel, then found the blood-stopping medicine prescribed by the alpaca doctor earlier.
She swiftly pried open the small snake's mouth, tossed in the pill, and pressed it shut: "Take your medicine, take your medicine, you'll feel better soon..."
Lu Xi's eyes were about to pop out of his head: !
Wasn't this girl afraid of death? The General's fangs were venomous!
If the General lost control for even a moment, a single drop of venom would be enough to send her back to the Beast God's embrace.
Unaware of Lu Xi's internal shock and panic, Yun Manman wiped the blood off the small snake's body with a wet wipe while worriedly muttering:
"What happened, Qiqi? I just went to take a shower, how did you end up in such a mess? Did you fall from somewhere?"
Thankfully, the alpaca doctor had the foresight to prescribe extra medicine for her to keep on hand, instructing her to give the small snake one pill if there were any signs of bleeding.
She gently stroked the small snake's smooth head, feeling incredibly distressed.
It had been twisted like a pretzel earlier, with blood seeping out - it must have been in so much pain.
In truth, Lu Qi had already felt much better once he entered the range of Yun Manman's spiritual power, his own spiritual force gradually stabilizing.
Whether he took the blood-stopping medicine or not didn't really matter.
But he truly hadn't expected Yun Manman to dare to pry open his mouth and feed him medicine, leaving him momentarily stunned.
He instinctively retracted his venomous fangs just in time.
He was still inwardly panicking, thinking that if he hadn't pulled back, the "hope of the empire" before him would have been lost.
After the spiritual power outburst, Lu Qi still felt a bit dizzy, with lingering pain in his mind.
But he gradually calmed down under the gentle blanket of the girl's spiritual power before him.
Yun Manman had just finished showering, her body emanating a warm, sweet fragrance. Her light brown hair fell soft and fluffy on her shoulders, her skin smooth and delicate as if it could break at the slightest touch. Her emerald cat eyes were filled with concern and worry.
Lu Qi felt Yun Manman's warm caress on his forehead, smelled her cake-like sweet scent surrounding him, and found his agitated mood miraculously soothed.
As he watched Yun Manman lying small and soft on the table, a thought involuntarily popped into his mind.
She looks so... coilable.
Lu Qi was startled by his own thoughts and quickly turned his head away from the girl.
Coilable? He should consider himself lucky if this feline beast person didn't coil around him!
The exhaustion from the spiritual power outburst was both mental and physical. Lu Qi, who had nearly returned to the Beast God's embrace, finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep under Yun Manman's gentle strokes.
Before losing consciousness, he glared once in the direction of the window.
Lu Xi, I'll settle accounts with you when I get back!
Lu Xi, the deputy who had been observing from the window the whole time, received his General's angry glare and anxiously bit his nails.
He was doing all this for the General's sake! If the General punished him, he'd have to go cry to His Majesty for justice.
Fortunately, this cat lady seemed to genuinely have some skills in soothing the General's spiritual power.
Lu Qi being unharmed put Lu Xi's mind at ease for the most part.
As long as Lu Qi was alive, Lu Xi didn't mind at all about a "suspected girlfriend" or whatnot.
Yes, Yun Manman, this feline beast person who addressed the General intimately and acted intimately with him, had already become a "suspected girlfriend" in Lu Xi's mind.
Wow, petting the General's beast form from head to tail! How much more intimate could you get?
Lu Xi observed from outside the window for a long time, and only left after seeing that Lu Qi had stabilized.
He needed to arrange personnel to protect this feline beast person and the General.
Hmm, who should he assign?
In the early hours of the morning.
Only a desk lamp was lit in the corner of the spacious room, the computer screen emitting a soft blue glow, illuminating the face before it.
Mo Yangyang had dark circles under his eyes, which were bloodshot. Even the dark gray cat ears on top of his head and the fur on his tail behind him were disheveled, as if they hadn't been cleaned in a long time.
But his expression was one of extreme excitement and elation.
When he saw that the video playback on the backend had exceeded one million, he suddenly stood up from his chair, transformed into a robust blue cat on the spot, and let out a shrill cry: "Ah!!! One million!"
Mo Yangyang had never dreamed that this video would reach one million views, and the number of followers on his account was still increasing!
He had estimated that this video would get at most 300,000 views!
A couple of days ago, before making this video, he had searched online for similar videos about this shop and found a video titled "Shocking! This dessert shop can actually soothe spiritual power!"
Moreover, it already had over a hundred thousand views and a high number of live viewers.
So when Mo Yangyang was making this video, he didn't have much hope that it would go viral.
But the day before yesterday, when he went online, he found that the video had actually been reported and taken down!
The reason for the report was "false advertising"!
He didn't know who the good Samaritan was who reported it.
When Mo Yangyang saw this, he laughed out loud, quickly re-edited his video, and rushed to upload it.
He didn't dare to ride on the coattails of "soothing spiritual power" anymore, so he titled it "Exploring this wonderful dessert shop - Perfect Sweets Shop".
But he sneakily added the tag "spiritual power related" below.
After uploading, he kept watch on the backend, seeing the view count skyrocket.
Many viewers had come over from that reported and taken down video.
Some came to see what this legendary shop that could soothe spiritual power actually looked like.
Some were curious about what the desserts were.
And some purely came to watch the commotion.
What commotion? The arguments in the comments section, of course!
As long as it involved sensitive terms like "spiritual power", the comments section of both articles and videos would be very lively.
The issue of spiritual power disorder touched the hearts of people across the entire Lingyi Continent, especially in Kashida.
Beast people's spiritual power purity was inherently lower than that of other races, making them more susceptible to spiritual power disorders, so naturally, beast people paid more attention to this topic.
Many businesses liked to use the banner of "channeling spiritual power" to attract attention and increase sales, but beast people would both despise and hold out hope, spending money while also calling out fakes.
They always harbored a subtle hope in their hearts. What if? What if it was real?
The comments section under Mo Yangyang's video was as lively as a festival.
"Raise your hand if you came from that reported video! So is this real?"
"Here! It's been reported for false advertising, so it must be fake."
"But no one's seen anyone verify it, maybe it's true."
"Yeah, I saw someone on Xiaolv Book say they ate it and felt very happy, didn't even have nightmares."
"That has nothing to do with spiritual power though."
"Hmm, maybe this is how spiritual power relief manifests?"
"Just arrived. This blogger didn't say anything about soothing spiritual power though."
Mo Yangyang's video showed the environment and desserts of the "Perfect Sweets Shop", as well as the tasting process, and just mentioned feeling very happy after eating, without mentioning anything about spiritual power.
Mainly because he didn't dare to mention it.
The cost of spreading rumors was quite high now, and he was just an ordinary self-media person, there was no need to end up in jail because of this.
Some people commented that the video didn't say anything except about eating, not even mentioning the address.
Mo Yangyang scratched his head embarrassedly behind the screen. The desserts were so delicious at the time that he finished them without realizing, and even spoke less, so he could only add the review and the dessert shop's address in the comments section.
"This shop's location is a bit remote, how is it in the border area, ten thousand miles from the imperial capital..."
"My home is in Lili Town! I'm going to try it tomorrow!"
"Me too!"
"Brothers above, remember to give feedback, these desserts look really good, even if they can't soothe spiritual power, it's enough if they're delicious."
"Does anyone else think the shop owner looks a bit familiar..."
"You think any beautiful woman looks familiar."
