Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189: Chapter 187: Whose Life Isn’t a Life

For the past two days, Xiao Ya had been making repeated trips to the market for potions and tonics. She would then rush back to her room, tending to Bai Chaosi around the clock.

But after two days, despite having been given plenty of potions and tonics, the fox showed no signs of improvement.

His breathing had even grown weaker than before.

You couldn’t even detect his breathing unless you got very close and looked carefully.

Xiao Ya’s heart clenched in her chest.

Eventually, the fox on the bed could no longer take any medicine. When she finally managed to get a single mouthful down, he suddenly coughed up a spray of blood.

The blood splattered across the floor, and Xiao Ya’s face went pale with fright.

"Are you okay? Wake up!"

Her voice trembled with panic.

"Hey, you can’t do this to me! You can’t die!"

She frantically shook the motionless fox, but the Nine-tailed Fox on the bed seemed utterly lifeless.

The only thing proving he was still alive was the faint rise and fall of his chest.

Beyond that, there was no sign the fox had any hope of survival.

He was like an inanimate object.

She pursed her lips, pacing back and forth beside the bed.

’No, I can’t let this fox die.’

’I went through so much trouble to bring him to Ye Country. I’m waiting for him to recover so I can rely on him to escape the shackles of my status.’

’Even though I was found and raised by the people of Luoxi Town, I never accepted my fate.’

’I always felt I wasn’t meant to spend my life in that remote village. Deep in my bones, I knew I didn’t belong there.’

’I’m meant for a wider world, a brighter future.’

’So, for all these years, my deepest wish, nurtured in the dead of night, has been to leave that place and escape the constraints of my low status.’

’I’m beautiful, I have skills, and I’m smart. In this Beast World, I deserve to climb higher.’

’I don’t think I’m any worse than those high-ranking noble females. I refuse to believe my fate is to be so constrained.’

’To be stuck forever in Luoxi Town, matched with a few crude Eagle Clan males, living a life of poverty in the middle of nowhere, never knowing where my next meal is coming from.’

’I refuse. I won’t accept that fate.’

’So, this fox is my chance to climb higher.’

’I absolutely cannot miss this golden opportunity.’

At this thought, she snatched up a cloth, wrapped the nearly breathless fox on the bed, and ran out, heading for the best physician’s apothecary in the city.

As she wove through the crowds, she muttered under her breath.

"Just hold on, you can’t die!"

"I will save you, I won’t let you die!"

She ran, holding her breath with exertion, her eyes turning red and making it hard to see the path ahead.

Suddenly, her foot caught on a stone, and she was about to fall.

But a strong force suddenly caught her and steadied her.

Once steady, she froze for a moment. It was the City Wall Guard from the other day.

The guard looked at her.

"Miss Xiao Ya, why are you running so fast? Where are you headed?"

"You nearly fell! That would have been a nasty spill. It’s a good thing I was here!"

Xiao Ya, still supported by him, looked up with her reddened eyes.

"Lord Lu, can you please help me? Please save my Beast Husband!"

She spoke with desperation, clutching the fox tightly.

Guard Lu paused, only then noticing the bundle she was holding in her arms.

He hadn’t realized she already had a Beast Husband.

"Your Beast Husband?"

"That’s your Beast Husband in your arms?"

He sounded surprised.
