Chapter 131: Chapter 111: This One Needle Might Just Lead to One Corpse, Two Lives
"That’s correct," he continued. "In fact, most Purebreds have normal fertility, much higher than that of Beastmen. Of course, a union between a Beastman and a Purebred could result in a pure Beastman baby, but the probability is very low."
With that, he gave Shu Yao and Xiao Juzi a deep look.
Lin Zhenxiang remarked with a sudden sigh, "Something with odds like that is like a high-stakes gamble..."
Shu Yao glanced at her, then at Dean Wen, and said slowly, "You’re all wrong. As long as someone has the Beastman gene, even if they aren’t born with it awakened, their Beastman abilities can be activated later on."
Dean Wen was taken aback.
Shu Yao looked toward Ling Yunyun. "In a situation like Ke’s aunt, the baby in her womb, once born, will be a very gifted Beastman."
Lin Zhenxiang said in a whiny, coquettish tone, "That’s completely unheard of. Sister Shu, can you please stop pretending you know everything!"
Shu Yao gave a sudden laugh and retorted in the exact same tone, "You may have long hair and a short wit, but don’t assume everyone is as ignorant as you are, okay?"
Lin Zhenxiang’s face fell. She said with a wounded expression, "Sister Shu, you’re just bullying me on purpose, aren’t you..."
She cast a helpless look at the others.
But no one spoke up for her.
She lowered her gaze, deliberately making her dejection more obvious, but still, no one paid her any mind.
"Ma’am..." Dean Wen began, his voice laced with excitement. "You... may I ask for your guidance? In a case like Mrs. Luo’s, how would one alleviate such a severe pregnancy reaction?"
"The baby’s spiritual power is too strong; it’s affecting the mother’s bodily functions. Dilute a standard Inhibitor with saline at a one-to-ten ratio. Give her an injection when the discomfort becomes unbearable," Shu Yao said with composure.
An Inhibitor meant for a Beastman, on a Purebred?
"Have you lost your mind!" Lin Zhenxiang shrieked in alarm. "That’s fatal!"
However, Dean Wen slapped his forehead, unable to hide the excitement sparkling in his eyes. "How did I not think of that!"
Shu Yao ignored Lin Zhenxiang and added, speaking to Dean Wen, "You can adjust the ratio based on the expectant mother’s reaction."
Dean Wen immediately called over his subordinates to prepare an injection according to Shu Yao’s instructions.
Seeing the syringe in Dean Wen’s hand, Xiao Juzi got scared, burying his face in his mother’s embrace and shutting his eyes tightly.
Qin Songlin’s heart melted at the adorable sight.
Dean Wen approached Ling Yunyun’s treatment pod, syringe in hand. He hesitated for a moment before laying out the situation. "Mrs. Luo, in theory, this method should work. However, it has not undergone any clinical trials. Are you willing to give it a try?"
Before Ling Yunyun could respond, Lin Zhenxiang interjected nervously, "Mrs. Luo, please reconsider! You must know that Inhibitors are fatal to normal people! Forgive me for being blunt, but that one injection could very well kill both you and your baby!"
Ke Dancheng shot her a deep look, then turned to Ling Yunyun.
"Auntie, I think it’s worth a try. I trust Sister Yao."
Ling Yunyun considered this for a moment before saying earnestly, "Dean Wen, I’m actually feeling much better right now. There’s no need... And besides, Ju Bao’s mother did say to only use it when the discomfort is severe, right?"
Shu Yao nodded. "The Inhibitor reduces cellular activity. It’s best to use it sparingly."
Beside them, Lin Zhenxiang let out a huge sigh of relief, as if celebrating the fact that Ling Yunyun had heeded her words.
She said in a placating tone, "Mrs. Luo, don’t you worry! Vice District Chief Luo went to the Lower Star District to find the Master of Pharmacy. I’m sure that Master of Pharmacy will have a way to save both you and the baby!"
Shu Yao gave her an unreadable glance.
Dean Wen put the syringe away, respecting Ling Yunyun’s wishes.
"I was too hasty. This gives me the perfect opportunity to run clinical trials. Please, Mrs. Luo, wait patiently for good news."
’Of course, he had no desire to let some Master of Pharmacy from the Lower Star District steal his thunder.’
’He had to stabilize Ling Yunyun’s condition before Luo Xingyu got results on his end!’
Dean Wen departed in a hurry with his subordinates.
Shu Yao said her goodbyes to Ke Dancheng and Ling Yunyun, preparing to leave with Xiao Juzi as well.
Ling Yunyun waved a reluctant goodbye to Ju Bao.
After leaving the ward, Shu Yao contacted Shu Xin.
"Mom, just wait for us by the Flying Machine."
Qin Songlin followed the mother and son the entire way, surreptitiously making all sorts of silly gestures behind them to amuse Xiao Juzi.
Xiao Juzi turned his chubby face away, as if he wanted nothing to do with this weirdo.
After meeting up with Shu Xin, Shu Yao held Xiao Juzi and prepared to board the Flying Machine.
"Don’t forget this~" Qin Songlin said, holding out a small knitted shirt.
Shu Xin recognized it at a glance as the undershirt her little grandson wore beneath his sweater. Who knows what sort of scene she imagined, but her expression changed in an instant. She lunged forward like a tigress and snatched the shirt from Qin Songlin’s hands.
But she wasn’t done.
"I knew there was something wrong with you, you pervert doctor! I could tell something was off from the start! I’m reporting you! Just you wait! I am definitely reporting you!"
She shouted as she hit him.
Unfortunately, she wasn’t tall enough, so every slap landed on Qin Songlin’s shoulders and neck.
"A misunderstanding! It’s a misunderstanding!" Qin Songlin cried, dodging her blows pathetically while begging for mercy. He shot a pleading look at Shu Yao.
But it was no use at all.
’He was the dignified Federation Emperor! The last time he’d gotten a beating like this was when he was Xiao Juzi’s age!’
