The moment those words slipped from her mouth, the entire crowd became shocked. Even Lang Chi looked at her in disbelief.
Yue Lian instantly realized her mistake and hurriedly shook her head in panic.
"No! No! That’s not true!" she shouted anxiously. "She is lying! She must be lying!"
But Su Qinglan continued calmly.
"Your uterus was heavily injured when you were very young," she explained steadily. "Someone deliberately hurt you. The injury healed badly and left permanent damage inside your body. Because of that, even if you mate normally, you can never conceive a cub naturally."
The crowd gasped loudly. Some females immediately covered their mouths in shock.
Old Healer Ye’s eyes widened slightly before they slowly filled with realization.
So that was the reason. No wonder he could never find ordinary sickness in her pulse.
It was not an illness. It was old, permanent damage.
Meanwhile, Yue Lian’s breathing became heavier and heavier. Her face turned completely white as memories suddenly flooded into her mind.
That dark cave...
The cruel older female...
The sharp stone rod...
The unbearable pain and blood when she was only a child... Her body suddenly lost all strength.
Tears instantly burst from her eyes.
"No..." Yue Lian whispered shakily while clutching her chest. "No..."
Her legs weakened before she collapsed onto the ground while crying uncontrollably.
Lang Chi was completely stunned.
"Lian’er?" he called anxiously.
But Yue Lian only cried harder. All the grievances she had buried for years suddenly exploded out of her heart.
"I didn’t want it..." she sobbed brokenly. "I didn’t want this... I also wanted cubs... I wanted them so badly..."
Her entire body shook violently as she cried.
"I was only seven years old..." she whispered painfully. "That female hated my mother, and... and she hurt me secretly when nobody was there..."
The crowd instantly exploded into shocked discussions.
"What?!"
"She was injured deliberately?"
"How cruel!"
"No wonder..."
Even the surrounding females looked at Yue Lian sympathetically now.
Su Qinglan quietly looked at Yue Lian, whose entire body was trembling from crying, and her heart slowly softened more and more. Looking at the female’s broken expression and the despair hidden deep inside her eyes, she could already understand that Yue Lian’s past was definitely not good.
The damage inside her body was not small at all.
And whoever had done that to her when she was only a child was truly cruel.
Su Qinglan could not help but pity her deeply.
The only thing she had disliked earlier was Yue Lian’s attitude. From the very beginning, the female had clearly come with the intention of testing and humiliating her. That was why Su Qinglan also did not soften her words at first.
But now, looking at Yue Lian crying so helplessly in front of everyone, Su Qinglan suddenly felt all her irritation disappear.
After all... in this world, every female wanted cubs.
No one wanted to be left behind. No one wanted to become useless in the eyes of others.
And Yue Lian clearly carried scars much deeper than anyone could see.
Su Qinglan slowly bent down in front of her before gently pressing her shoulder.
"Don’t cry anymore," she said softly. "If you truly want to heal yourself... then I have a way."
The moment those words fell... Yue Lian suddenly froze. Even her tears stopped for a second.
She immediately lifted her head and stared at Su Qinglan with wide, disbelieving eyes as though she had just heard something impossible.
"R-Really?" Yue Lian asked shakily. Even her voice was trembling badly.


So she wanted to expose Su Qinglan and embarrass her in front of everyone.
