Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162: Chapter 160: How Can We Compete? We Just Can’t!

Shen Yue found Si Muye’s beet-red face amusing.

"Alright, I’ll deal with the poison first. Lie down."

"If we don’t treat this soon, the poison will start to corrode your Spiritual Core."

As Shen Yue began performing acupuncture on Si Muye to neutralize the poison, Huang Ziyue and the others tried to stand guard nearby, their eyes glued to them, unwilling to move an inch.

It was as if they were terrified something would happen between the two of them the moment they left.

But Shen Yue didn’t like people crowding around when she performed acupuncture. It was like surgery—why have so many people standing around? It would interfere with her work.

So, she shooed them away.

After retreating into the shadows, Huang Ziyue and the others continued to stare from a distance.

They watched as Si Muye, overcome by the burning poison, passed out during the acupuncture.

But Shen Yue continued to care for him with meticulous attention, even gently wiping the sweat from his brow.

This made the men even more uncomfortable. ’Just stick him with the needles already. Why does she have to be so gentle?’

Lan Cangyue turned to Mu Silin and Ye Lüqi, asking irritably,

"Who is this bear? Do you two know him?"

Mu Silin’s eyes were fixed on the scene below, his face grim.

"The third young master of the Ancient Bear Family. He was once the K Empire’s First Great Knight, the talk of the entire Royal City."

Hearing this, Gu Fangqi chimed in.

"You mean the one from ten years ago? The man who made all the noble ladies in the Royal City swoon and was sought after by everyone?"

Mu Silin spat,

"That’s him. The guy just won’t go away."

Lan Cangyue didn’t know much about some "First Great Knight" of the land, but he understood the man must be both famous and powerful.

He said, "From the sound of it, he’s a real handful, huh? What’s his relationship with Shen Yue?"

"I don’t see a Female Master’s mark on him, so why do they seem so close?"

Ye Lüqi listened, steam practically coming from his nostrils.

"What relationship? You could figure it out with that fish tail of yours. They’re in love. He’s our number one rival."

He added resentfully,

"We just got rid of a fox, and now an even bigger problem shows up!"

Lan Cangyue immediately shot him a displeased look.

"Can you watch your mouth? What’s that supposed to mean, ’figure it out with that fish tail of yours’?"

"And ’number one rival’? I don’t think he’s nearly as handsome as I am. How could he possibly compare to my dashing good looks? Why are you exaggerating so much?"

Nearby, Huang Ziyue and the others shot him an irritated glance.

’His dashing good looks?’

’More like a preening fish.’

Lan Cangyue went on,

"Besides, we’re the children’s biological fathers. Shen Yue bore our children. He’s just an outsider who hasn’t even gotten a foot in the door. How can he compare to us?"

"Even if he’s in love with Shen Yue, can his standing possibly compare to ours?"

"Surely he can’t be more important to the children and Shen Yue than we are?"

Gu Fangqi listened and had to agree, nodding.

’At least we have children with Shen Yue.’

’We’re their biological fathers.’

’This bear... even if he has a close relationship with Shen Yue, he shouldn’t be that much of a problem, right?’

’Calling him our number one rival is giving him way too much credit.’

However, after hearing Lan Cangyue’s words, Mu Silin’s and Ye Lüqi’s expressions soured even further, as if he had struck a nerve.

It would have been fine if he hadn’t mentioned the children.

But the moment he did, even Huang Ziyue’s face began to look strange.

Their faces were constipated, utterly grim.

’Standing?’

’What standing do we have?’

’Our standing depends entirely on our place in Shen Yue’s heart.’

’And this bear was probably miles ahead of them in her heart.’
